Harry couldn’t sleep, even though he had a beautiful woman completely naked sleeping on his chest, he still couldn’t feel at ease enough to sleep. He stared at the figure of Narcissa Black sleeping peacefully on his chest, she was so pretty and he felt so guilty for using her to get here.

He didn’t know how but he managed to free himself from her grip and decided to let her sleep peacefully, he put his boxers back and then headed to the bathroom where he stared at the elegant mirror before he threw cold water on his face.

“Focus Potter…Focus,” he said to himself. “Do it for them, they’re counting on you, everyone’s counting on you,” he said in a low tone, he didn’t want the older blonde to hear him, and he couldn’t help but remember how he got in this mess as he stared at himself in the mirror.

In the middle of nowhere, a group of four young adults was staring at a destroyed lock in silence, they were heavily breathing and it seemed like they were astonished by what just happened.

“It’s done…It’s done, we did it,” Harry said while he tried to catch his breath as he stared at the destroyed lock.

“Harry…I’m surprised you brought so many basilisk fangs with you,” Hermione said with a surprised tone.

“Yeah…After Dumbledore told me the diary was a Horcrux, I couldn’t help but grab some, you never know when you’re going to find a Horcrux in front of you,” Harry said with a calm tone.

“How many of them are left?” Asked Ron, still not believing what just happened.

“Well, the diary, the ring, and the lock were destroyed so…there's still three left,” Harry said with a defeated tone.

The sudden motivation they had after destroying the lock with Voldemort’s piece of soul was suddenly gone, three might look like a small number but when you’re searching for certain items that were just hidden in this country seemed like trying to find a needle in the middle of a forest, they were thankful they didn't have to search around the world though.

“I know he has one close to him…The snake,” Harry said with a calm tone, it made sense for that thing to be a Horcrux. “There’s also the probability that he has another one guarded in Bellatrix Lestrange’s vault,” Harry added and his friends were surprised by his words.

Ron and Hermione were stunned to hear that, that seemed like such important information and it’s not like they were angry about hearing that, the question here is…How did Harry know about that?

“Harry…It’s not that I don’t want to trust you but…Your words seem more like baseless theories,” Hermione said with a worried expression.

Even in this situation his bookworm friend was still the same, something that could be annoying for some people but Harry loved that side of hers, her logic is what has helped them to survive, so he could only smirk at her.

“There’s something all of you need to know,” Harry said with a concerned tone.

Harry then told them about his secret affair with Narcissa Malfoy, at first, Harry wanted to hurt her in some way due to the pain her sister and son had caused him but in the end, he realized that the poor woman was as much as a victim as he was, she had no way to get out of that situation, magical marriages are more complex than muggle ones and getting a divorce when you’re married to someone with so many connections in the ministry is not easy as it sounds.

With each word he was telling, Ron and Hermione were more and more astonished, Ron was also proud about his friend shagging Malfoy’s mom while Hermione scolded the two of them, but Harry didn’t care about that, because that small fling has given him so much information.

“The first time we walked was when we met at Dumbledore’s funeral, we shared a few words," Harry started and his friends nodded, they saw them talking back then. "Then we met the next week, during those two meetings we just talked, and she told me a few things about my mother, after that, we couldn’t see each other because I went into hiding mode with my relatives,” Harry said before gulping.

“So…When did you two have sex then? It seems unlikely that you two would see each other often after you became an adult considering the whole order was paranoid about letting you out of their sight,” Hermione was confused about this whole deal.

“You guys remember Bill and Fleur’s wedding?” Asked Harry with a raised brow and they nodded with confused expressions. “Turns out that the Malfoys have some connections in France, after all, their family originates from there, one of the friendships of the Delacours or well, more like one of Apolline’s friends Narcissa, Fleur's mother wasn't too aware of what Narcissa had gotten into so she didn't hesitate to invite her,” he explained to them.

Even after that whole explanation, it didn’t make sense to them as they never saw the older blonde at the party.

“Wait a minute…I was so focused on dancing with Ron but as far as I know, you danced with a lot of people that evening, however, after you had some words with Fleur’s mom you disappeared and—” Hermione’s eyes suddenly widened.

“What? Is there any problem Hermione—” Ron couldn’t finish as his eyes widened at the realization too. “You did it in my house?! Not even I have the guts to do that!” Ron was a little jealous he couldn’t deny that but then he felt someone poking his ribs, it was Hermione.

“That’s the thing that you’re worried about?!” Hermione questioned the redhead man. “Harry, why didn’t you tell us about that? You could have been in danger!” Hermione was angry and worried at the same time.

“Relax Hermione…She used a Polyjuice potion and thanks to her French language skills she managed to pass as another guest, it seems like she told Apolline she wasn't well-liked by the Weasleys which wasn't a lie per se but Fleur's mother wanted her best British friend to be there, so she had to use a polyjuice potion," Harry took a moment to catch a break.

His friends were still surprised by what they were hearing.

"Of course, we had to go somewhere private I needed to get more information about you-know-who’s plans however…Things escalated quickly and it seemed like she wanted to give me my birthday gift and well…Let’s say that at that moment I didn't care about the world and now that I think about it, maybe it was thanks to her that we got attacked, I know I should've reported her to the order, but she told me she was in love with me, I couldn't think clearly,” he couldn’t help but say in an apologetic tone, he was weak.

His friends weren’t amused, so he quickly clarified his voice. Still, they decided to not be too harsh on him right now, he had been through so much and the guys at the order should've realized there was someone undercover, they checked out the list of guests for fuck's sake.

“Anyway, the point here is that I realized something from all the meetings…All of them happened on Thursday and after I asked her why she always wanted to see me during those days, she told me that it was because that was the only day she could come out of the manor and go anywhere she wanted while her sister goes to Gringotts…It seems like the dark lord gave Bellatrix something to guard there and she needs to check out every Thursday to see if that thing is still there, after all, the last thing Bellatrix wants is to disappoint the dark lord,” Harry explained until he was out of breath.

“So that means…” Hermione mumbled.

“Yes, I’m sure that she’s hiding a horcrux in her vault, but there’s only one way to get it out…Either making her trust me to let me accompany her to Gringotts…Or getting an importunity to use Imperio on her,” Harry said with a cold tone.

Long gone is the boy who’s afraid of harming his enemies or not wanting to get his hands dirty, and he's not the only one, Hermione and Ron have blood on their hands too as they've been trying to weaken Voldemort's forces by killing as many as his allies they could find.

There was only one thing on their minds and that was destroying Voldemort, and they were willing to do anything to reach that point, Harry is the most committed one, it doesn’t matter if he has to become the monster, he’s going to live with that, regardless of that there’s was only one thing for certain, he was going to destroy the dark lord even if he had to die with him.

“Nagini is going to be easy, according to Narcissa, the dark lord doesn't like to see her when she eats the victims he kills, and it seems like he doesn't care to leave that thing alone in the manor, he knows no one would dare to put a hand on it,” Harry explained and soon they realized something.

“Harry…Don’t tell me that you’re planning to go there and that’s why you’re telling us about Narcissa,” Hermione said with a sad tone.

“There’s no other way, Hermione, I’m going to tell him I’m joining him…Even in the chance the dark lord refuses, I’ll have the perfect opportunity to kill Nagini with a basilisk fang and the projectile spell, I hope I’ll be able to get some blood and hair from Bellatrix though, and most of all, I hope I'll be able to get information about the other Horcrux we don't know about,” he said in a low tone.

“Harry…This is too dangerous…What if he kills you the moment he sees you? You won’t able to apparate from there!” Ron was the most worried of the trio.

“I’ll still try to kill Nagini before running as fast as I can and then…I’ll have to call a certain house elf friend I made in our second year,” Harry said with a smirk.

He tried to be confident even if he was scared as fuck, his friends still were opposed to the idea but there was no other way to do this.
