I'm sorry I didn't post this earlier, but today's my wedding anniversary and UberGeek and I have been playing; we're getting ready for dinner, so I'm stealing a moment to post. I promise to answer reviews later. You've all been wonderful to like my little cluster of drabbles!

The most haunted shack in all Britain was a snug hideaway. Harry stared into the small fire. “It’ll be difficult to follow her trail.”

Ron chuckled maliciously, then sobered. “Did we make the right decision?”

“We know Voldemort’s Horcruxes have to be deactivated.”

“Yeah.”

“Everything else is open to interpretation.”

“Hermione will be completely alone.”

“What other viable choice was there? Once the Horcruxes are gone, we’ll demand the rest of the answers.”

“And decide whether to face Voldemort, or if that was bollocks too.”

“He’s evil, Ron.”

“But is he an evil you … we … have to face?”

“Good question.”
