A NEW BEGINNING

54. Horcrux Hunting - 1

PREVIOUSLY IN A NEW BEGINNING

Sirius and Remus agree to assume office.

________________________________________

The days following the assuming of office was hectic for Sirius. He not only had to clean up what Crouch had done in the past several years, but also had to attend the matches that the teams from the Islands of Great Britain were playing, which was only Ireland since it was the only one of the four British teams to reach the Quarter Finals of the Tournament.

Sirius was happy that Amelia had set up a huge team consisting of Aurors, Curse Breakers from the Department of Mysteries and Gringotts Curse Breakers to hunt the Horcruxes. Rufus was heading the team of Aurors; the Head Unspeakable, Wilbert Croaker was heading the Ministry Curse Breakers team and upon Sirius' suggestion, Bill Weasley was appointed the Head of the Gringotts Curse Breakers Team. Albus Dumbledore was made the advisor for the team.

Sirius, Remus, Amelia, Wilbert Croaker, Rufus and Bill met up at Dumbledore's office at Hogwarts on the Sunday that all of them were free.

"Thank you for meeting me here, everyone. Getting straight into the matter, I have managed to locate where the horcruxes other than the diary are placed. The diary as you know, has been destroyed. So this leaves us five more to destroy. That is Marvolo Gaunt's Ring, Salazar Slytherin's Locket, Helga Hufflepuff's cup and Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem." Dumbledore paused in to allow the others to process the information before he continued to give out the information.

"The snake and Marvolo Gaunt's ring is to be found in Little Hangleton. Rowena Ravenclaw's Diadem is hidden in this very castle. Voldemort himself hid it here back in the Room of Requirement when he came to ask former Headmaster Armando Dippet if he could join the faculty as a DADA professor. The locket was given to Regulus Black and Bellatrix Lestrange was given Helga Hufflepuff's cup. Sirius, if you would tell the exact location of the last two horcruxes."
