    ... sighed. "Yeah, Hogwarts told you that something was 'wrong' in the castle. But you realize how impossible it will be to just get in and search the place from top to bottom, right?" Harry shrugged. "I know, but it's the only real lead we've got. There's only two more horcruxes left, and we're going off the idea that one of them is Nagini." Ginny groaned. "So much guesswork. I wish we could have certainties." Harry nodded his agreement. "Let's see if the others are up. Maybe they'll have some ideas." XXX Everyone began to trickle into the dining room a few minutes later, as Harry was helping the house elves put the last few dishes on the table. He looked up at his friends and smiled. "Dinner's ready." Everyone fell on the meal quickly, famished after sleeping all day. Over supper, they discussed their next steps. Harry told them what he had seen on the Map, which didn't exactly thrill anyone. "How are we supposed to get passed all those Death Eaters to get the sword?" Ron asked, spooning potatoes into his mouth eagerly. Harry shrugged. "Just another obstacle. If there was another way to destroy the horcruxes, I'd be all for it, but other than Fiendfyre, I can't think of one." Blaise furrowed his brow. "Is it possible to buy basilisk venom?" Harry bit his lip. "I don't think so," he admitted. "It's pretty rare. If there was a way, Sharptooth would have mentioned it when we told him about the horcruxes this summer, and how we needed the sword to destroy them." They all looked ...

It'll be easier to check out other possibilities, and what if we do manage to get in, and risk our lives and possibly the war, only to find out there's nothing there?" Harry didn't like it, but he had to agree. "All right. Let's try to think of other places he might have used. But we're still going to have to try and figure out a way in. Gryffindor's Sword is our best shot at destroying these things. And it's more than just a guess, Hermione. Hogwarts knows that something is 'wrong' in the castle." They stared at him. "What do you mean?" Blaise asked curiously. Harry sighed. "Hogwarts knows that something is wrong. She doesn't know what or where, but she does know that there is something wrong inside the walls." They paused to consider that, before Ron asked, "Can you get in as Gryffindor's heir?" Harry considered for a moment. "I could probably get passed the wards, because the castle would let me in, but Hogwarts isn't really all powerful. I would still be visible to the Death Eaters and Voldemort, and if he had anything that let him know when someone unauthorized, or maybe someone without a Dark Mark, entered the castle, he would know I was there." Ron nodded, understanding. Ginny sighed. "It's really too bad; we were going to switch the swords after the holiday. I guess we don't need that fake sword anymore." Hermione ...
