🔥 Destruction
During the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry, Ron, and Hermione pursued the diadem to the Room of Requirement. Crabbe cast Fiendfyre (cursed fire) in an attempt to kill them, but lost control. The Fiendfyre destroyed the Horcrux but also killed Crabbe. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Draco, and Goyle escaped on broomsticks.
