I TUCK MYSELF INTO BED AND CLOSE MY EYES, ONLY TO FEEL MYSELF APARATE ELSEWHERE. I open my eyes with a frown, fumbling to look around. Dumbledore and Harry stare at me, and I look down, noticing I'm in my pyjamas.
"What do you know of Horcruxes, Miss Black?" Dumbledore asks me and I stifle a yawn, morphing myself out of my pyjamas and into normal clothes. "It's dark magic, an object containing a piece of one's soul, why?" My eyes move to the objects laid out on the headmasters desk.
I can the dark magic radiating off them. "Are those horcruxes?" I question with wide eyes and Dumbledore nods. "Yes, created by Tom Riddle." The Dark Lord. "How many are there?" I ask the man. "Seven," Dumbledore tells me. There's two on the desk.
I lift my eyes back to the man. "Do you know where the other five are? If they are destroyed, the Dark Lord will be along with them." Dumbledore nods his head at my words. I stare back at the book and ring. The dark magic is rippling through me.
"Dark Magic leaves a trace, if you could find them, then the war will be decided." Dumbledore nods his head, stepping away from his desk and towards me. "We cannot hope to destroy it alone. I must ask of your help, Jupiter." Harry's eyes are on my face, watching as I decide my answer.
I understand how it is nearly impossible to destroy a Horcrux, but by doing so, I could destroy the Dark Lord.
"I'll help you." And the Dark Lord must never know, or I will end up like my father.

I make my way up the astronomy tower, listening to the conversation between Harry and Dumbledore before deeming it ready to join in. "Miss Black, you're here." I walk up the final step and make my way over to the men.
"The place to which we journey tonight is extremely dangerous. I promised you both could accompany me, and I stand by that promise. But there is one condition, for the both of you: you must ovary every command I give you, without question." I nod my head at his words.
"Yes, sir." Harry and I say in unison. "You both do understand what I'm saying?" I nod my head. "Should I tell you both to hide, you hide. Should I tell you to run, you run. Should I tell you to abandon me and save yourself, you must do so." I nod again. "I understand, sir." Even if Harry doesn't obey, I will force him to. I will always keep him safe, no matter what happens to me.
Dumbledore moves his eyes to Harry. "Your word, Harry." He says to the boy who stares at him for a moment before answering. "My word." Harry says and Dumbledore holds out his arm. "Take my arm." I do as he says and place my hand on his robe. "Sir, I thought you couldn't apparate whilst being in Hogwarts." Dumbledore and I glance at each other.
"Well, being me has its privileges." I smirk slightly and Harry puts his hand beside mine, our fingers brush slightly before my mind spins as we transport away.
The sound of crashing waves and the smell of sea salt bombardes my senses. The cold chill of the crashing breeze slashes into my skin, making me shudder slightly. My dark hair blows out behind me and I look out at the waves surrounding me.
The liquid crashed up against a large rock which we stand on and my gaze moves to the opening of a cave. People have died here, many people. I can feel the dark magic slipping into me as I breathe. The darkness is choking me, but I don't think this death is coming from the Horcrux.
