Rather than feeling elated over finding the Locket Horcrux, Harry feels lost, unsure how to proceed, and clueless as to how to destroy the Horcrux. Standing watch, Harry starts having awful thoughts. He and Hermione then prepare to stand guard using Harry's Sneakoscope. To keep it safe until it can be destroyed, Harry places it around his neck. Ron detects a small heartbeat within, but Harry and Hermione are uncertain if they hear or feel anything. Harry determines it must be opened before it can be destroyed, but it is tightly shut. Hermione retrieves the egg-sized Locket, which bears the initial "S" inset in small green stones on its cover. Ron stops Hermione from speaking Voldemort's name, saying it "feels" jinxed and requests that Harry and Hermione refrain from using it. As Hermione casts the protective spells, Harry summons the tent from her bag. Remembering how quickly Death Eaters found them at the Tottenham Court Road, Harry and Ron debate whether they should stay or move on, but Ron is too weak to travel. Harry blames himself for losing their hiding place, wasting time to retrieve Moody's magical eye. As Hermione has been a Secret Keeper since Dumbledore's death and led Yaxley to Grimmauld Place, it is probably now known to him. It is unlikely they can return to Grimmauld Place. Hermione jinxed him, then Apparated them to the forest where the Quidditch World Cup was held. Hermione says she Disapparated them from Grimmauld Place because Yaxley grabbed her when Harry Apparated the Trio there. Ron's shoulder has been severely Splinched while Disapparating, so Hermione treats his injury with Essence of Dittany, though he remains faint from shock and blood loss. At first, Harry thinks it is the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts, but quickly realizes the trees are too young and it would be too dangerous for them to be near the castle anyway. Harry, Ron, and Hermione find themselves lying on the ground in a forest. Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
