alt_harryI borrowed that gem from Draco and Hermione, the one that's supposed to find dark objects that are 'highly personal.' It didn't do me a lot of good because it seemed like practically everything in Buckingham set it off. I got it back to Hermione a few days ago because I didn't think taking it back to Hogwarts with me was a good idea.
But, okay. I tried just looking for things that made me feel the way I felt when I touched the locket. Or the diary. I didn't find anything in Buckingham, and after the Triumph (that's what He's calling it) I started thinkingHe he probably wouldn't keep his horcruxes in Buckingham, because that's where he lives.
Yesterday I went over to see the Protector's Collection. Because -- Hermione suggested it would be things that were important to him. That were symbolic in some way. It seemed like the things in the Protector's Collection would be helpful to look at.
Almost everything in the collection is magical, or was wizard-owned. But, there's also one piece from the old muggle royal family's crown jewels -- the 'Sovereign's Sceptre.' The sign by it says it has also been called 'the Sceptre with the Cross' or 'the Royal Sceptre' and contains a diamond called the Great Star of Africa. It symbolised the authority of the muggle monarch before our liberation blah blah blah.
There's a special guard in that part of the museum at all times.
I'm not sure, because it was behind glass and it's not as if I could go back there and touch it. Or at least -- you know, maybe they'd let me? If I asked? But they'd certainly tell Voldemort, and I don't want him to guess what I'm after.
But, I think the sceptre is a horcrux.
