    ... pursed her lips. "We should continue searching the library." "Tomorrow," Harry corrected. "Let's just relax tonight, and get back to work tomorrow. We've had a big success today, so let's enjoy it." They all agreed, and left the dining room, separating to various rooms in the Castle to wind down before going to sleep. XXX As January picked up speed, Harry and his friends spent most of their time searching for new possibilities on locations, or trying to come up with ways to get into Hogwarts undetected. They set up a schedule so that several of them would go out each day in disguise, to collect information on what was going on in the wizarding world. They made sure to stake out the area by the Ministry employee entrance to the building, Diagon Alley, and Hogsmeade. A few weeks after they found the ring, Harry and Daphne left the confines of the Castle early, after first making sure that no one would recognize them. They appeared in the alley next to the Leaky Cauldron, and after checking themselves once more, they headed into the pub.

Daphne nodded, knowing that he was right. She was just worried that someone would find them, or that they would call attention to themselves. Harry gestured for her to turn towards the familiar shop entrance. Though it had been years since he had hidden in that cupboard in Borgin and Burkes, he still remembered where the store was. Once inside, they took a look around to make sure that it was empty, before Daphne warded the door to keep anyone else from entering. Borgin walked through a back door, and stopped short at seeing the two cloaked figures in his shop.
