The Herd had been walking and setting camp for days, maybe even weeks, they had lost count. Ron was sleeping on the bed, Hermione was cutting Harry's hair while Erica and Parker were looking through one of Hermione's books to find information. Erica then picked up the old radio beside them. She'd been at it for ages, trying to get a signal and thought she'd try again as they skimmed through the book.

"Still nothing?" Parker asked.

"It's going to work, I just know it." Erica told her, keeping her voice quiet as she tinkered with it.

"Oh my god." They all heard Hermione say.

Erica tilted her head and got up, sitting the radio down.

"What?" Harry asked, checking his hair.

"I'll tell you in a minute." Hermione ran over to the girls, taking one of their books they weren't using.

"How about you tell me now?" Harry pressed, following her.

"The Sword of Gryffindor." Hermione told him, "It's Goblin made."

"Great." Parker nodded slowly, not fully understanding what she meant.

"You don't understand, things like rust don't affect it. It only takes in what makes it stronger." Hermione informed her.

"Okay.." Harry nodded, he wasn't understanding what she meant either.

"You already destroyed a horcrux Harry, remember?" Hermione reminded him.

"Tom Riddles diary in the Chamber of Secrets." Parker stated.

"With a Basilisk fang. If you've got one of those in that bloody beaded bag of yours." Harry sighed.

"Harry, you stabbed the Basilisk with the Sword. It's impregnated with Basilisk venom." Hermione explained.

"It only takes in which makes it stronger." Harry repeated what Hermione said while they sat down next to Parker and Erica.

Erica proceeded to start napping, her head on one of the books.

"Exactly! That's why-" Hermione began.

"It can destroy horcruxes." Harry finished.

"That's why Dumbledore left it to you in his will." Hermione realised.

"You're brilliant, Hermione. Truly." Harry held her hand.

"Actually, I'm highly logical which allows me to look past extraneous details." Hermione corrected him.

"Yeah, but there's only one problem with this." Parker sighed.

But before she could explain, Ron's deluminator took all the lights and he appeared.

Parker ended up nudging Erica slightly, Ron didn't look too happy. Erica looked around slowly as she woke up.

"The Sword was stolen." Ron stated, returning the light,"Yeah, I'm still here. You guys carry on though, don't let me spoil the fun."

Harry closed the book that he was looking in before he turned to Ron, "What's wrong?"

"Wrong? Nothing's wrong. Not according to you anyway." Ron shrugged, looking at the group.

"But if you've got something to say, don't hide it, spit it out." Harry told him.

"Alright, I'll spit it out. Don't expect me to be grateful because now there's another dn thing we're supposed to find." Ron spat, anger seeping through his words.

"I thought you knew what you signed up for." Harry stated.

"Yeah, I thought I did to." Ron told him, arms crossed.
