While Briallen and Neville were celebrating their shared birthday party, Croaker was leading another team to recover the newly discovered Horcrux that had been secretly created and hidden away by none other than Albus Dumbledore. As before with the cave, the retrieval team sent a remote in first to make sure all was clear before they made their entrance. Fortunately, all seemed peaceful so the decision was made to enter the house and find that damned tether that kept Albus from dying completely.
