It was a dark,cold night at Hogwart's School for Witchcraft and Wizardry.Most of the students were in bed; excepting one student who felt that it was best to study the night away. Of course, this student was Hermione Granger, top of her class,and in her 7th year at Hogwarts. Getting ready for her final exams was her top priority of the moment; although the thought of her boyfriend,Ron Weasley,was causing her to be a bit distracted. And the ever growing fear of what was going to happen to her best friend Harry Potter was another concern. Up to just a few hours earlier he had been awake trying to figure out how to get the last Horcrux of Voldemorts. He was almost positive that it was hidden inside the castle; but where? Finally, after reading the same line in her textbook at least ten times, Hermione turned off the light and went to bed.
The next day Harry,Hermione,and Ron all woke up early. As usual, Harry and Ron conducted a search for the Horcrux,while Hermione kept watch behind them. There was nothing new to see as usual. They went back to the Gryffindor common room and sat down to talk and think. "I don't know why we haven't been able to find anything yet", Harry groaned. "Ther has to be something we are missing",Ron replied. Hermione sat lost in thought. "Hermione, what do you think?" Ron asked.
