The Doctor turned his head slightly to regard Hermione, “yes, unfortunately it is. Voldemort has found an ancient spell that will allow him to splinter his soul each time he kills someone – he then uses the power generated from the murder to store that soul shard inside an object…or person.”
Hermione went cold, “Harry,” she breathed in astonished despair.
He sighed sadly, “I believe so…however, love, it doesn’t end there. From the ripples in the time line, he’s split his soul several times, not including the shard that sill resides inside his own body. My research found the objects are called Horcruxes.”
She stood up abruptly to pace back and forth agitatedly as she thought furiously. The Doctor stayed silent, giving her time to process the information, and watched her in admiration as her brain analyzed the problem. Finally she turned to him about to speak, but flushed at look in his eyes. Momentarily flustered, she twisted her hands together, forcing the Doctor to reach forth and grab them, pulling her forward to stand between his legs. He looked up at her, “Hermione,” he said softly, “we are soul mates, we love each other – there is nothing to be embarrassed about; there will be no secrets between us – especially as our bond deepens.” He smiled adoringly at her, “Now, what have you come up with?” he added briskly.
Hermione smiled and leaned in to kiss his forehead first, “We need to find out what Riddle has used as his Horcruxes – and a method to destroy them. There must be a way to remove the one from Harry without killing him…there just has to be.”
He nodded, “I know what two of them are and that they have been destroyed already. You spoke of a diary that possessed Ginny Weasley in your second year…it was a Horcrux and Harry obliterated it…do you remember how he did that?”
Perusing her lips together, Hermione searched her memory, “I think…” she said slowly, “…that Harry had the Sword of Gryffindor…and used it to kill the Basilisk…hmm…he said he was bitten with a fang which Fawkes…Dumbledore’s phoenix…healed with his tears…wait, he used one of the fangs on the diary!” she smiled in triumph, “We just need to collect more fangs from the Chamber of Secrets.”
The Doctor grinned at her, “Righto…how do we get there?”
Hermione’s smile fell, “I’m not sure…Harry was pretty vague with the details of they got in. I was petrified if you recall.”
A dark look came over the Doctor’s face, “I do…you have no idea how tempted I was to just take you away myself…but I knew it would tangle the timeline up too much, plus you would never forgive me if I did.” A lopsided smile appeared, but the darkness stayed in his eyes. Hermione moved closer to him, wrapped her arms around her best friend, and held him close, his face buried in her neck. She massaged his scalp and stroked his shoulders and back until his tension receded. The Doctor sighed and tightened his grip on her soft body as he nuzzled her silky skin, inhaling the scent of her.
Several minutes later he looked up into her gorgeous chocolate eyes, “I guess we talk to Harry,” he murmured.
Hermione nodded in agreement, “Yes, I suppose we should. Now, what was the second one?”
The Doctor frowned, “This one was a little tougher to decipher, but I believe Headmaster Dumbledore has also been researching Tom Riddle. If I’m correct, he located a family crest ring that belonged to Salazar Slytherin from whom he’s descended from. Dumbledore obliterated this ring, resulting in some damage to himself…so it stands to reason it was a Horcrux as well…they are hard to destroy and react violently to any attempt.”

During her transformation, the Doctor had moved the TARDIS to null space; reducing the risks to her and allowing them time to make plans before returning to Hogwarts.
Hermione pinched the bridge of her nose and then rubbed her temple, trying to ease the headache she had developed. They had been brain storming for hours; suggesting options and picking them apart, trying to narrow down the best ideas on what the remaining Horcruxes were and how to approach Headmaster Dumbledore, Harry Potter and Ron Weasley.
A pair of arms slid around her and pulled her back against a hard warm chest, “Hermione, love, let’s take a short break and get something to eat,” the Doctor’s sensual baritone filled her ears. He walked them over to the loveseat where he settled Hermione between his legs as they sprawled sideways; he began to massage her neck and shoulders for several minutes, loosening the tension there, before sliding his hands up into her silken curls to work his fingers against her scalp. Hermione melted against him as her stress disappeared and her headache ebbed away.
“I think I’ll keep you around just for the magic your hands can work,” she giggled. The Doctor’s hands trailed down her torso to cradle her waist as he rested his head on her shoulder, “Is that so, pet? Just what magic can I work on you right now, hmmm?” he purred. Hermione sighed, “as much as I would love to get all naked and sweaty with you, I need food first…I can feel my blood sugar dipping.”
He stiffened, “Are you ok? I’m sorry…I forgot all about feeding you since we had breakfast.” Hermione gave him a half-grin, “I’ll be fine, it’s not your fault luv. I could have just as easily suggested taking a breather earlier myself, but I got so involved in our discussion I lost track of the time.”
The Doctor squeezed her close for a moment, and then turned her slightly for a passionate kiss, “I have a surprise for you…come on,” he winked at his love.
Hermione’s eyes lit up in excitement, she loved surprises. He helped her stand and then led her by the hand through the maze of corridors until they reached a lush courtyard filled with exotic plant life. There were cobblestone tiles covering the ground, small fountains were scattered about bubbling merrily, a waist high wall ran a meandering course around the courtyard and at the far end there was a stonewall that shone wetly as water trickled over it to pool in a basin at the bottom. Water lilies floated serenely in the basin, other greenery was crowded into urns and overflowed walled flower boxes. Gas lamps flickered softly, lending an extremely romantic air to the space. A table set for two was placed near the water wall and on it a pair of candles was lit; a basket of food along with a bottle of wine waited for them. Soft music tinkled in the background and Hermione inhaled the delightful fragrances as she looked around in wonder.
“Oh my. Thete, my love, this is wonderful. Thank you,” she exclaimed and then whirled around to press her lips to his for a loving kiss. The Doctor took advantage to wrap his arms around her and deepen their kiss.
