No matter what.
On the day Hogwarts' school bus departed, Harry and the others decided to go to the Ministry of Magic and steal back the locket.
That day.
Harry and the others looked terrible.
Even though Hermione believed they had made thorough preparations, they still felt nervous now.
"Robes... Polyjuice Potion, Blood-Replenishing Potion... Decoy Detonators, Extendable Ears..."
Hermione checked the contents of her little bag, then shrank it and wore it on her arm as a beaded bracelet.
