Death Eaters Daughter Part Two

Two Hundred Eighty Three

It's been weeks since we've had it in our possession, the weather has turned from cold to colder
Snow was littering the ground, the full moon passed a week ago
I stayed inside the tent the entire time, my skin burned slightly but Hermione did a good job helping me to stay covered

If that was the worst of my troubles I would be lucky, this horcrux was a nightmare
I wasn't sure who was more insufferable to be around while they wore it
Ron or Harry

Harry picked arguments with me but Ron picked arguments with Hermione
Hermione and I just stayed quiet when it was our turn to wear the necklace, we both knew we couldn't trust a word coming out of our mouth and didn't take it out on each other
The guys felt too much when wearing it, they expressed themselves instead of bottling it

I could deal with Harry, he would pick fights about Draco and yell about how his pregnant wife was alone
Ron attacking Hermione made me irrationally angry
He would go off about his family but the worst was the more private matters that he chose to bring up
Like Hermione's infertility

I wasn't aware they had been trying for a kid, Hermione was smarter and knew it wasn't the right time but Ron was impatient and apparently worried his family wouldn't survive the war. He wanted them to see a grandkid or nephew/niece
If I had to guess it would be stress causing the problem not Hermione

"Ginny and Harry had no issues" Ron muttered for the fifth time this evening

Hermione was better than me
I would have lost it already, I did every time Harry picked a fight against me

"Ron" I said skinning a rabbit we hunted

"What" he snapped

"shut up" I said, if Hermione wasn't going to say anything I would

"Do you hear that?" Harry said

"The girls nagging? Yeah all the time" Ron said

I stabbed the rabbit with the knife I was using

Hermione shoved him over
"Ron if you want to stay married—"

I pressed my hand against her mouth
"Wait shh"

I heard footsteps moving around the outskirts of our barrier
We had stayed here for the extra time waiting for Ron and i to be healed completely
It was risky to stay but we had no choice
So far no one has run into us but our luck might have dropped

Harry got up from the ground and slowly started to walk towards the noise
I followed him, putting my hand up for Hermione and Ron to stay behind
"Too big of a crowd" I said

As Harry and I tiptoed towards the barrier we began hearing voices that matched an individual we hadn't seen or heard from in a while

Dean Thomas was panting heavily next to a tall male, and then a very short one who looked like a goblin
"H—" I went to greet our old friend but Harry stopped me

"We don't know why they're here, they can't see us let's leave it that way"

I nodded my head and continued to listen to their conversation

"Lucky for us they got distracted by some other block" Dean said

"Yeah well our luck will run out if we stay here" the tall male said

"Oh come on Ted they haven't followed us this far"

"Ted Tonks" I whispered "Tonk's father, they must be part of the other order group. The one Neville is in with Seamus and Luna"

Harry nodded his head

"You don't know that" the goblin said "what a pity they think they've got the real sword of Gryffindor, a fake is all they found"

"Sword of Gryffindor?" I said

"The last time the real one was around Dumbledore used it against some ring" The goblin said "he brought it to us after to check for damage, it was fine as it should have been"

"A ring??"

"The horcrux Dumbledore found...that must be how we destroy the one we have" Harry said

"Fuck them" Dean said "let's get back to our group im sure they're worried"

The three of them apparated from the location, Harry and I walked back to a bickering couple again
We explained what we heard but it seemed to anger Ron more
"Great another bloody thing we need to find"

"It's a good start" Hermione said wiping her eyes

I wanted to punch Ron for making my friend cry but I held my composure
It's the necklace not him
It's the necklace not him

"Didn't you have a plan all these years?!" Ron yelled at Harry "Cora is right you and Ginny should have had this figured out by now"

"Don't bring Ginny into this she wanted to look" Harry said getting into Ron's face "I convinced her to take time off be mad at me"

"Oh I am" Ron said

I sat beside Hermione waiting for the fight to end, I rubbed her back like she did for me countless times

"Dumbledore didn't tell you a single thing about these?? How to find them?! How to find that damned sword?!"

"Did you think you'd be back home in time for Christmas?? See your mummy and daddy?"

"At least I have parents to worry about"

"Ronald" Hermione snapped

"I'm sick of this shit" Ron went into the tent and grabbed his bag
I watched as he shoved things into it, the tent was flapping aggressively in the wind

"Ron please calm down take the necklace off" Hermione begged

"Are you staying or coming??" He said to her

She looked confused
"What??"

"Are you going with me or staying with him??" He asked again

"I'm...I'm" she looked at me
I nodded my head and mouthed
It's ok, go

Ron stormed off to the barrier of our camp, he stared at Hermione waiting for her answer

She looked at Harry who wouldn't look at her, then at Ron who was raging
"Take the necklace off" she said

He took it off and threw it across the ground
She looked at me one more time, I pulled her in for a hug
"It'll be ok, give him a few days and come back to us"

She nodded her head
When we pulled out of our embrace I noticed both of us had tear streaked cheeks
I let go of her and watched as she walked away to hold Ron's hand

"I love you stay safe" I said to them

"I love you too" Hermione said

Ron scoffed at us
"Staying with him Cora?? After all the shit he says about you??"

"Someone has to keep him in line" i said faking laughter

"So be it"
Both him and Hermione apparated away from us, leaving our group divided
