... protect her, and Harry." "Did you love Harry?" "I always have. I always will." Ginny stood to leave, taking her wand gently from Snape's grip. He let it go but kept his own wand still trained on her. She removed the bag from around her neck, the one Hagrid had given Harry. She put the three books inside of it, leaving the basilisk fangs, Harry's broken wand, and Harry's memories inside her backpack. Then she dropped Hagrid's pouch into the fireplace and watched it burn. When she was sure the bag and its contents were entirely ruined, she turned back to Snape. "No one else needs to know the truth." She gathered her things, taking the Invisibility Cloak, and leaving Snape quite speechless, she left. Dangerous as it would be, it was time for her to retrieve the cup and the diary. Snape had made no mention that Voldemort had given his horcruxes to his minions but that only meant he'd done it quietly or hadn't yet. She worried most about the cup.

In some ways the quiet, nearly abandoned street served as a relief and a comfort to her and for small moments at a time she could almost convince herself that she was back in 1997 and her only responsibility was to do well in her OWLs. In reality, she was a spy. She saw few wizards roaming about the road and those she saw were hidden under thick cloaks with their heads down, trying to pass by unnoticed. Only twice did she see anyone prancing around without a care. Both times, they were Death Eaters. Of course they weren't keeping their heads down, they had no reason to be afraid. After seven days. When Ginny was prepared to pack her things and make her way directly to Lestrange manor, she saw her. The awful witch walked tall and mighty across the Alley and Ginny suppressed the urge to spit on her. She followed her. Gringotts was not her first errand and Ginny followed after her into Knockturn Alley. Bellatrix went into a shady shop nearby Borgin and Burkes and then into an apothecary that must have sold numerous illegal substances.
