Hope Mikaelson Goes to Hogwarts

Chapter 13: Indestructible

Hope's POV:

That night we decide to recover from the day and lounge around the tent Hermione packed for us. It's the same tent from the Quidditch World Cup. That seems so long ago. An eternity in fact. The next morning the four of us wake up bright and early to attempt to destroy the Horcrux.

I have a sinking feeling that, despite everything we went through, it won't be as easy as we're hoping to destroy it. I let the other three go first, using their wands to cast spells at the locket with no success. They can't even scratch it. Harry continues to angrily throw spells at it.

He does it over and over with no luck. Hermione sends me a defeated looks and I nod, knowing what she wants me to do. Walking forward, I place a gentle hand on Harry's shoulder. His frustrated eyes meet mine. I nod and step in front of him.

I can feel their eyes on my as I take my wand out. With me being a sine witch, my wand magic is more powerful than an apud witch. I fling three more spells at it. They create a crater around the locket, but still not even a scratch.

Placing my wand in my pocket I walk over and pick it up, not even flinching at the heat coming off of it. I closing my eyes, I feel a ring of fire surround me. "Hope-" "Shh." I hear Hermione tell Harry after hearing his worried voice. I tune them out.

"Universa Ruina In Tenebras Ra Damis Infinitum. De Lon Dem Ex Nahal da Six." The locket floats out of my hand, floating high in the air. "Universa Ruina In Tenebras Ra Damis Infinitum. De Lon Dem Ex Nahal da Six." I can feel the ground beneath me start to shake.

"Universa Ruina In Tenebras Ra Damis Infinitum. De Lon Dem Ex Nahal da Six!" The flames around me flair, but I hear a thump and realize that it didn't work. The only thing it did was make a crack in the glass on the front. Frowning, I stop the spell and the flames go out.

Walking over to it, I pick it up, examining it. I can feel a powerful negative force emitting from it. It reminds me of Tom Riddle's diary. I turn to them. "Until we find a way to destroy it, we need to wear it. Keep an eye on it so that he can't summon it." I explain, putting it around my neck.

"Just be careful. If you start to feel any negative emotions, take it off. I'll take it first so we can see how it affects us." "Hope, are you sure that's a good idea?" Hermione asks me. Concern is written on all of their faces. I nod, a grim look on my face.

"It's indestructible. Until we can destroy it, someone needs to wear it. I'm the best option. If it kills me, I'll be ok." "It seems strange mate." Ron speaks up. "Dumbledore sends you off to find all these horcruxes, but doesn't tell you how to destroy them. Doesn't that bother you?" He asks.

I sigh. It does bother me, but there's no changing anything now. "Dumbledore is gone Ron. This is all up to us now." With that, I walk away from the camp, towards the boundary of our protection spells, bag in hand. I need to research different spells and I need peace and quiet.

I can hear Ron starting up the radio, even from here. Maybe Esther or Dahlia have something along the lines of horcrux destruction. I don't even know if horcruxes are things in my world, but they can't be any different than other dark objects. Maybe Kol has something.

Him and Dahlia were the experts on Dark Objects. I've also handled them after mom gave me access to the ones Aunt Cami left for me when she died. If anyone in our group is going to find a way to destroy them, I am. Maybe Hermione, but I know more about them.

Sitting at the base of a tree, I scour my grimoires for anything resembling the dark object we're trying to destroy. My frustration continues to grow as I get no where in my hunt for information and as I hear each and ever name being called out from the radio with Ron in the tent.
