- At night, Hermione goes poking around the area around their camp while Ron is listening to the radio. Meanwhile, Harry is checking out what his friends at Hogwarts are doing using the Marauder's Map.
- As she's exploring, Hermione encounters some shady-looking guys. They can't see Hermione, though, because of the enchantments she has placed around their camp.
- One of the guys seems to be able to smell her, but he can't see her.
- After that little incident, Hermione and the others decide to move their camp.
- For some reason, Ron seems to be growing super resentful of Harry and his relationship with Hermione.
- Uh oh—this whole Horcrux quest seems to be really testing everyone's patience and friendships.
