Chapter 29: Necklace Revelations

Lily's Point of View

The next day thankfully was a Sunday. After spending all day dress shopping and helping Harry practice more advanced spells, I completely forgot to do any homework. There was one more thing we had to do though, and that was tell Dumbledore about Nikki and Bella's necklaces. "Are you ready to go?" Hermione asked me as she walked down the steps. Harry was coming along as well.

Ron and Hermione had a little bit of a 'fall out' the other day. We were talking about dates. Ron was talking about how he couldn't find anyone to go with and asked how everyone kept getting dates. He then, very rudely, turned to Hermione and pointed at that she was a girl and they should just go together. Hermione found it really insulting how he assumed no one would think to ask her. He even repeated it once she stormed off. Harry and I were a bit torn between the two. I went after Hermione that day. Ron hasn't really come around us since. Even though Hermione wouldn't tell me who it was, I knew she had a date. Hopefully it was someone good too, to prove to Ron that she could easily find a date. I knew it hurt her though, because deep down she really liked him. It was weird to think Bella had a crush on Ron herself when we first met everyone, now they couldn't be more opposite.

"Yup," I said jumping up to my feet. Harry met us right after that and the three of us went to Dumbledore's office. Alaina was going to meet us by the time we got there.

"Lily, Hermione, you'll never guess what, I'm going to the dance!" Alaina sang skipping over to us.

"That's great Alaina," Hermione said happy. "I'm glad you're coming."

"With who?" I asked me sister, happy but also jealous she managed to get a date before me. I was still praying Harry would ask me.

"He's a fourth year Ravenclaw, Gavin I'm sure you know him," she said and I nodded recognizing his face.

"I'm so glad you're coming," I said to her hoping Harry would hurry up and ask me. "Should we go inside now?" The other three nodded. Harry muttered the password and the four of us went up the staircase as the Phoenix twisted in the middle. We had Harry knock at the door, being that Dumbledore and he were closer than the rest of us.

"Come in," a voice called and Harry opened the door. Dumbledore smiled as the four of us entered into the room. "Welcome, lemon drops?" he offered holding up a bowl and we all took one. "Have a seat. May I ask the purpose of this visit?" We sat down on the chairs in the room. Alaina and I just looked over at Harry and Hermione, hoping they'd say something.

"Er, yes sir," Hermione began saying. "We discovered that there were dangerous, dark magical artifacts on school grounds, and figured you should know." Dumbledore sat up a bit. "Nicolette Eclipse and Bella Stone, have these identical heirloom necklaces that were said to be passed down by Slytherin himself."

"Yes, I've heard of them," Dumbledore said darkly. "Did not know if they still existed. The Ministry was supposed to have taken care of those years ago. Are you sure? This is a very serious matter."

"Positive sir," Harry added in. "We read the excerpt from a book on Salazar Slytherin and Hermione researched the Eclipse background, which was said to have been given one."

"And it shocked me, sir, when I touched it," I said, hoping to know we weren't just accusing them without actual proof. "Back when we first found it. I touched it and felt as though I was being electrocuted. Then Bella touched it, and she was fine. But I'm a half-blood and they're both purebloods, so it wouldn't have effect on them anyways." Dumbledore nodded in deep thought.
