Swords and Magic (Hermione x male reader)

Chapter Fifty-nine: Anger in the Forest

Harry POV

The tent was done after a few hours. It was similar to the tent that we had used from the Quidditch World Cup before fourth year, while the only difference was that this one was smaller. There were enough beds that were bunked. We each had our own, but Hermione and Y/N were sharing one. Y/N was getting dinner ready, as Hermione was making the tea for the five of us since Ron was still healing. While making it Ginny and he told us how Moody was alive and working underground. "Hope you all like beans," Y/N said, as he brought the pot with a spoon to the table to serve us. "We're gonna be having a lot of them."

We then ate in silence. After we were done we set the plates aside so we could enjoy our tea, and Jess took a look at Ron. She was worried about him. "How bad is he?" She asked.

"He'll be alright in a few days," Ginny said.

"So where do we go next?" Hermione asked.

"Granddad had a general idea. He thought that the Horcruxes weren't just random objects and that they wouldn't be so randomly hidden either. Out of the seven we know of three. The ring, that was Tom's grandfather. The diary, that was Tom's originally," Y/N said.

"And the locket," Ginny said, as we looked at it resting on the far end of the table.

"That belonged to his mother," Y/N added.

"It scares me a little. Thinking it's a piece of Vol-" Hermione started, but was cut off.

"No, don't! Don't say it!" Ron yelled, scaring us. But, it was nice to see that he was up now. "It's taboo - You-Know-Who's name. That's how they track people now. It's how they found us in the cafe that night."

"How'd you know?" I asked.

"And why didn't you tell us earlier?" Y/N asked.

"I overheard a bloke from the Enforcement office talking about it at the Ministry," Ron said. "What's that smell? Smells good."

"Dinner?" Y/N asked.

"Yeah," Ron said, as he noticed the sling made from the clothes we used for disguises. "Is that? The Horcrux?" He then took it in his hand and turned it as he frowned. "At least we have it. We need to destroy it now, right?"

"It's not going to be easy," Y/N said.

"Can you hear it?" Ginny asked.

"Yeah," we said.

"It's... it's like it's... ticking or something, like it has a ting metal heart, like it's -" Hermione started.

"Alive," Ron finished.

"It's Parseltongue, but I hear it's thoughts," Y/N said.

"I hate it. It's like he's here with us," Hermione said, as Y/N rested his head on her shoulder.

"That's why we're going to kill it," I said, as he stood up.

It was the next day and Harry placed it down on a rock that was under the Protective Enchantments and we tried any spell we could think of that would destroy it and casted it at the locket, but none of them worked. Y/N tried to cut it with his sword, but that also didn't work.

"Did none of those really not work!?" Jess asked, frustrated.

"How did he destroy the other one!?" Y/N exclaimed, as Hermione kept on casting away at it with rage across her eyes. Y/N took her arm and she calmed back down, as a ticking came from the locket.

"It's angry..." Ron said.

"Can't really blame it after trying to kill it... how many times?" Y/N asked.
