Hallows

Quick Synopsis: After an abortive attempt to return to Grimmauld Place, the Trio instead end up in a forest.  Yaxley was able to hold on long enough to get within the protective charms on the house, but Hermione shakes him off and goes to where the Quidditch Cup was held in Goblet of Fire.  Ron is splinched and has a gaping wound in his arm and is in danger of bleeding to death.  Tense moments pass until first aid is applied.  Ron appears to be okay, but the Trio decide to stay put for a spell.  The Trio have the Locket Horcrux but only have vauge ideas on how to destroy it.  Caution and watchfulness become the order of the day.  Hermione puts up several protective spells and Harry suggests he and she take turns watching.  As he takes the first watch, Harry begins heading into the doldrums again which leaves him open to seeing another vision from Voldemort’s head.  The Dark Lord has finally found Gregorovitch and learns that the object he seeks was stolen years ago by the curly haired, wild, merry youth.  The vision ends with Gregorovitch’s death and Harry is left to ponder what he has seen.
