Hogwarts is caught in a fog of despair, and it's now up to the children to save the world from the wrath of the Dark Lord. Ruby is primed and ready to fight for the home she's grown to love, but at what cost does that come when she's pitted against...
They waited patiently within the clubhouse, each of them occupying themselves with different trinkets and knick knacks. Hermione was trying to teach Ron how to play the piano, while Luna and Finley were playing with what Ruby could only call a levitating version of cat's cradle. Meanwhile, Harry stared intently at a golden snitch -- the first snitch he had caught at his first quidditch game. Ruby meanwhile continued to play with her ruby pendant.
"Where'd you get that?" Harry asked her.

"It was a birthday present," she replied. He took the flying snitch and put it back into his coat pocket, just as Hermione took a seat with them.
"They have flesh memories," she said, "When Scrimgeour first gave it to you, I thought, that it might open at to your touch. Dumbledore could have hidden something inside it,"
Harry didn't reply. Instead, they heard a loud boom come from the pantry. The three of them all stood up and went to investigate. They were surprised when they entered, and they saw Kreacher and another house elf trying to hold down Mundungus Fletcher.
"I say," Ruby muttered.
"Harry Potter!" the younger house elf said, "So long it's been,"
"Get off me!" Mundungus snapped. He suddenly fell flat on his face. Kreacher and the younger house elf pulled off of him and jumped onto the table.
"As requested," Kreacher grumbled. Mundungus was about to pull out his wand, but Hermione snatched it from him before he could cast a spell.
"What you playing at?" he asked, "Setting a pair of bleeding elves on me!"
"Dobby was only trying to help," the younger house elf said, "Dobby saw Kreacher in Diagon Alley... which Dobby thought was curious and then Dobby heard Kreacher mention Harry Potter's name. And then Dobby saw Kreacher talking with the thief!"
"Thief!?" Mundungus seemed insulted, "Me a thief? Why you foul little --" he was about to grab Dobby, but Ruby took out her wand and made a tea cup smash against his head, "Owh!"
"You finish that sentence, a trowel will fall over you next," she said. Mundungus rubbed his head and groaned.
"... git," he whispered under his breath. Ron then walked in and scowled at the stout man.
"You're a thief, Dun. Everybody knows it," he said.
"Mr. Weasley! So good to see you again!" Dobby shook Ron's hand happily.
