"We found a way to separate Harry and the Horcrux without harming him. That’s the reason why we need you to be right on schedule. We’ll do it on the night of Malfoy’s death. He-who-must-not-be-named will feel that a Horcrux has been destroyed. Malfoy’s death will be a distraction. If there are many things going on at once, he’ll have to scatter forces. It will weaken him."
