We apparate out of the party to the middle of some street, quickly moving backwards as we see a bus coming our way.

"Where are we?" Ron asked. "Shaftesbury Avenue, I used to come to the theater here with Mom and Dad, I don't know why I thought of it, It just popped into my head, this way," Hermione said.

We followed her into a dark alleyway, "We need to change," Hermione said. She handed us all some clothes from the little bag she carried.

"How the ruddy-," Ron said. "Undetectable Extension Charm," Hermione replied. "You're amazing, you are," Ron said.

"It's getting dark," I said. "Come with me," Hermione told us.

We followed her into a cafe.

"Do you reckon everyone's okay at the party? Maybe we should go back," Harry said. "They were after you, We'd put everyone in danger by going back," Ron said.

"Ron's right," Hermione said. "Cappuccino please," she added, I looked up to see the waitress, "same here," I said. Both Ron and Harry asked for the same thing as well.

"Wicked scar," the waitress said looking at Harry. "So where do we go from here? Leaky Cauldron?," Ron asked.

"It's too dangerous, If Voldemort has taken over the Ministry, none of the old places are safe," Hermione said.

"Everyone from the wedding will have gone underground, into hiding," I said.

I look at the door as I hear it open and watch as two men walk in. I see them look over at us every now and then.

"My rucksack, with all my essentials packed for days, I left it at the burrow," Harry said. "You're joking," Ron said. "I've had the essentials packed for days, just in case," Hermione said.

I look at the two men again and notice they're going to grab something from their pockets, I look to see what it was and see wands.

"Down!" I yell. I see a flash of light happen directly where Ron's head was seconds before telling them to go down.

"Stupefy!" Harry said. "Expelliarmus!" I said disarming of the men. "Explusio," one of the men say.

"Petrificus Totalus," Hermione said making the men stop.

I see the waitress come back out, "Go, Leave now!" I yell. She goes back and leaves us there with the two men.

"Lock the doors, get the lights," Harry said. Hermione closes the door and Ron turns the lights off with his deluminator.

Harry and I approach the men and notice their wrists, death eater.

"This one's name is Rowle, He was on the Astronomy Tower the night Snape killed Dumbledore," Harry said. "This is Dolohov, I recognize him from the wanted posters," Ron said.

"So, what we gonna do with you, hey? Kill us if it was turned round, wouldn't you?" Ron said looking at the death eaters.

"If we kill them, they'll know we were here," I said.

"It's better to wipe their memory," Harry said. "You're the boss," Ron said. He turned to look at Hermione, "Hermione? You're the best with spells, other than y/n," he said.

I noticed as Hermione was a bit hesitant, "I'll do it," I said. I walked in front of them, closer to the death eaters.

"Obliviate," I said. We left immediately after,

"How is it they knew we were there?" Harry asked. "Maybe you still have the trace on you," Hermione said. "That's not possible," I said. "It can't be that, the trace breaks at 17 it's Wizarding law," Ron said.

Hermione suddenly stops walking and grabs my arm and looks at me and mouths "his birthday," I look back at her with wide eyes.

"What?" Ron said. "We didn't celebrate your birthday, Harry Ginny, y/n and I, we prepared a cake, We were going to bring it out at the end of the wedding," Hermione said.

"I appreciate the thought, but given the fact that we were almost killed by a couple of Death Eaters a few minutes ago," Harry said.

"Right, perspective," Hermione said. "We've got to get off the streets, get somewhere else," Ron said. "I have an idea," Harry said. We walked for a while before reaching Sirius' house.

We walked inside and as soon as we do a figure of Dumbledore comes towards us.

"Mad- eyes doing, must have been put so Snape doesn't come snooping," Hermione said.

"Homenum Revelio," I say. "It's a spell to reveal human presence," Hermione tells Harry and Ron.

"We're alone," I said.

We all get some rest. It didn't last long before Ron was calling us Over to see the death eaters that were sitting in a tree outside the house.

"They can't see us but still, we have to be careful going in and out of this place," he said. "Lovely," Hermione said.

We walk down the hallways, Ron goes to close a door, when does he finds a name on the door.

"Regulus Arcturus Black," Hermione read it

"R.A.B," Ron said. We walk into the kitchen and the Harry, he takes the letter out of the locket and reads it.

"I know I will be dead long before you read this, I have stolen the real Horcrux and intend to destroy it," he read.

"R.A.B. is Sirius's brother," Ron said. We sat down on the table, "the only real question is, did he really destroy the locket?" Hermione said.

"Stop! I order you!" Harry yells looking at the wall. I turn to see what it was but saw nothing. Harry walks over and comes back holding the ear of a house elf.

"Kreacher.." Ron said. "Been spying on us have you? Harry said. "Kreacher has been watching...Kreacher always watching.." he said. "Maybe he knows something" I said.

Harry shows the locket, "Seen this before?" He asked. Kreacher doesn't respond and only grumbles.

"Kreacher I own this place, Sirius left it to me, which means I own you too," Harry said. Kreacher grumbled again before giving in.

"It's Master Regulus' locket," He said. "But there were two, weren't there?," Harry said. Kreacher nods, "Where's the other one?" Harry asked.

"Kreacher doesn't know where the other locket is," He said.

"Yes, but did you ever see it? Was it in this house?" Hermione said. Kreacher looked at Hermione with disgust.

"Filthy Mudblood, the death eaters will soon be coming for you!" Kreacher said. Ron grabs him from his neck and shakes him.

"Blood-traitor Weasley!," Kreacher says. I push Ron out of the way and grab Kreacher putting my wand near him.

"How dare you talk to them like that you bloody elf! I should kill you right now!" I said. "Y/n!" Hermione yelled.

I release Kreacher and go by Hermione. "Answer Hermione," Harry said. "Yes, It was here in this house, A most evil object," Kreacher said.

"How do you mean?" Harry asked. "Before Master Regulus died, he ordered Kreacher to destroy it but no matter how hard Kreacher tried, he could not do it," he replied.

"Well, where is it now?Did someone take it?" Harry asked. "He came in the night, He took many things, including the locket," Kreacher said while nodding.

"Who took it!?" Harry yelled.

"Mundungus, Mundungus Fletcher," Kreacher said.

"Find him," Harry said. Kreacher snapped his fingers and with that he was gone.
