They say that love can make you do crazy things.
Lorelai herself never thought she would ever fall in love with anyone until one day she was paired up with a certain blond haired Slytherin.

It was a quarter to six according to Lorelai's wrist watch, and she hasn't yet been able to fall asleep. She could hear the birds singing and knew that in no time the sun would be rising. Her mood was flat, she had no energy, no enthusiasm. She had tired gritty eyes and her mind was all over the place, she was a mess overall. Tired of laying in bed, she stood up, wrapped a blanket around her shoulders and headed outside. Maybe the fresh air would help her out, and much to her luck, it did as she was suddenly shaken awake by Harry himself. Taking a look at her wrist watch she saw that it was eight thirty. At least she was able to sleep for two and a half hours. As she stood up from the shade of the tree she fell asleep against, she could feel the warmth of the sun hitting her face.
"What are you doing out here?" Harry asks. "I was worried when I woke up and saw your bed empty."
"I- I couldn't sleep so I came outside. I don't remember falling asleep." Lorelai answered stifling a yawn.
"Hermione's making tea, let's head inside."
"So where do we go next?" Hermione asks once the trio was seated at the table with three cups of tea placed in front of them. Ron was still asleep in the bed beside them. Good, he needed all the rest he could get.
"Well, Dumbledore had a theory that the Horcruxes wouldn't be made of random objects and it wouldn't be hidden randomly either. We know of three so far... uhh the ring which according to Dumbledore belonged to Tom's grandfather. The diary which obviously belonged to Tom himself. And this, which again, according to Dumbledore belonged to Tom's mother."
"It scares me a bit, thinking that it's a piece of-" Hermione starts before being cut of by Lorelai.
"No don't, don't say it. It's taboo, saying his name. That's how they track people now." Lorelai says quickly.
"How do you know that?" Harry asks.
"Draco told me, when I was at Malfoy Manor. Now that I think of it, you-know-who already knew that I was held captive, so me saying his name wouldn't make a difference."
"He knew that you would be with us again, he was warning you for moments like these." Hermione acknowledged.
"Foul git still ended up saving our lives, intentional or not. The bloody man's a psycho for putting a taboo on his name." Ron announced. All the talking must have woken him up.
"If that were the only reason he's a psycho our lives would be much less complicated." Lorelai ranted.
"Oh you're up. Tea?" Hermione asks, taking a seat on his bed to which he nods.
"Is that it?" Ron asks nodding his head to the locket on the table.
"Yep." Harry says handing the locket to Ron.
"What the-" he says placing the locket on the table beside him.
"I know, I felt that too. Ticking or something, like it's got a heart."
