The Extra Horcrux

Chapter 10: Danger Lurks

CALATHIUM'S POV
"W-what?" I heard Rissy question.
"I don't know, but we have to get out of here!" I exclaimed, pulling Rissy away.
Now Ida, Noah, Rissy, and I were racing back to Hogwarts. What's going on? We filed inside, and went to the Great Hall, as instructed. Instead of tables, there were beds, indicating that we weren't sleeping in the Hufflepuff territory tonight.
"RAVENCLAWS OVER HERE! GRYFFINDORS OVER HERE! HUFFLEPUFFS OVER HERE! SLYTHERINS OVER HERE!" the Head Boy and Head Girl pointed to the far end of the room on the left, showing the Hufflepuffs where to go.
Eremurus and I looked at each other with panic.
RISSY'S POV
I walked over to the Hufflepuff area. The four of us (Ida, Noah, Calathium, and I) went to the far corner and sat to talk while awaiting curfew.
"What do you think happened? Is Voldemort back?" I asked.
"I heard something's going on that's worse than Voldemort. A Prefect was talking about it," Noah said.
            "EVERYBODY SETTLE DOWN PLEASE!" Professor McGonagall exclaimed. "Thank you. Please stay calm. It may be hard to stay serene after what I'm about to say to you. But, here goes," she sighed, then continued, "Voldemort still has one more Horcrux lurking somewhere in the world."
             "WHAT? OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH!" Ida shrieked.
              A Head Boy whispered to Professor McGonagall. She said, "Yes, we can destroy it with Godric Gryffindor's sword, but it's... It's missing. It was stolen. If you locate it, let us know immediately. Thank you. If we find it, we will have to also find the Horcrux, which is believed to be somewhere in this school. If you have an idea of what the Horcrux is, you may write it on a piece of paper and place it in this box," McGonagall pointed to a box, "Until then, get some sleep. The staff and I will be searching for Godric's sword. In the morning we will have a full explanation of what this Horcrux can do. Go to bed now."
