This book follows Harry's adventures throughout what should have been his seventh year at Hogwarts, Dumbledore has informed him that there are three horcruxes; The Ring, the Necklace, and one which he has not yet identified, but knows that it exists. You will notice throughout this story that there are several slight alterations in terms of canon/history but dont worry, nothing too major.
So now, enjoy ! (Please Read + Review) By the way, I like my stories chapters fairly short, but never under at least 1000 words. So, Im sorry if you dont like that.. its just its my favourite way of writing..
Chapter One: Summer's End
Ron, Hermione, Harry and Ginny had been at the burrow since their slightly premature end of term that summer. After the shocking death of their headmaster, Professor Dumbledore. The whole wizarding world is in shock, and is wondering what is going to happen next.
"Harry.. Harry.. Harry!" shouted Ginny.
"Yes? sorry Ginny.." Harry said, slightly awkwardly, after he broke up with her on their last day of term, things hadnt been exactly right.. They werent mad, just awkward.
"Dinner's ready" she said, she looked slightly awkward, Harry could see her eyes were wet with tears.. she had been crying.
"Okay, il be done in a minute" he said, smiling at Ginny. she stood for a second, then returned a feeble smile. Then hastily scurried out of the room. Harry slowly walked downstairs, and stepped into the dining room.
"Ah Harry" smiled Mrs Weasley, her usual happy persona showing through. "There you go, sit there dear, the dinner shall be out in a minute" she said. Then with a wave of her wand, the entire set of plates, dishes, and food flew out of the kitchen and landed with astounding grace on the dining table.
"Thanks mum, this looks great" said Ron, trying to keep his mother in a good mood, she had been slightly snappy of late. Worried about the War that was raging outside the burrow's walls in the wizarding world. But deep down, she knew that even the burrow couldnt possibly be safe forever.

A few hours later, Harry was setting down to bed. He pulled the duvet over him, he liked these sort of nights. The weather was cold, but not too cold. The duvet felt nice, because it was warm but not too warm. Perfect; Her though to himself.
"goodnight Harry" said Hermione quietly, as she stepped out of the room and turned the light off; holding the book she had just retrieved from the shelf next to his bed.
*
Harry had been asleep for about an hour, but suddenly he was awoken by an almighty crash.
"What the hell?" he said to himself, alarmed. He jumped out of bed, and grabbed his wand off of the counter next to him. He ran to the window, and almost screamed out he was so shocked, the field surrounding him were lit by patches of fire all over. He looked down to the front drive, He saw Bellatrix Lestrange, and Two other death eaters. Tonks and Lupin ran out and began duelling Bellatrix and One death eater respectively. The other one advanced towards the house, but was met with a stupefy. Which the Death Eater easily reflected. Harry decided he could no longer stand and watch, he sped down the many stairs and was met by Mrs Weasley.
"Harry dont you dare go out there! its too dangerous!" she shouted, Harry couldnt listen, he ran outside. He felt anger boiling inside of him. He burst through the door, He saw Tonks battling Bellatrix; Bellatrix was winning. Lupin battling the other, Lupin was winning; But was clearly worried about his Lover. Harry saw the other Death Eater, battling Mr Weasley. Harry was alarmed it this.
"Stupefy" Harry shouted, as a bright red flash of light burst out of his wand, but was deflected by the Death Eater. Then, the Death Eater sent a Spell at Mr Weasley knocking him down.
"DAD!" he heard Ron shout from inside, Ron then burst through the door; running at the Death Eater.
"Stupefy, STUPEFY" he shouted, as a flash of red flew from his wand; The Death eater sent a stunning spell back at him knocking him down.
"Expelliarmus" shouted Harry, The Death Eater deflected that too.
"Harry! I wont let you fight him alone!" shouted Hermione, who ran out, closely followed by Ginny.
"Stupefy" shouted Hermione and Ginny who simultaneously shot stunning spells at the Death Eater. He deflected those too, but now; with three duelers against one, the odds were stacked. Hermione sent a jinx at the death eater, temporarily knocking him down; Ginny then sent a stunning spell at him knocking him back again. The Death eater rose up fast, and with a swish of his wand, Ginny was knocked flying into some cardboard boxes.
"GINNY" shouted Mrs Weasley, who herself then burst out of the door.
"Leave this to me!" she shouted angrily, using protego to gently knock Harry and Hermione back and keep them there.
"YOU WILL NOT WIN, STAY AWAY FROM MY HOME" she screamed at the Death Eater, dodging and weaving between his curses, whilst sending some of her own.
"Just you wait" the Death Eater said, "youre whole family's bodies are going to litter these grounds in mere moment" He said trying to anger Molly.
"No they will not!" she screamed, She shot another stunning spell at him. THen he blocked it, then sent a killing curse at her. Luckily she dodge it skillfully. Harry was shocked that she was as good at duelling as she is, He was surprised she wasnt a more active member of the Order.
"Impedimenta!" she shouted, knocking the Death eater flying. He was still, silent, non moving.
"There we go" she said. She turned round to see Harry and Hermione, but they had already ran to aid Lupin and Tonks. But Molly had to check on her Children, and make quite sure that they were okay. Meanwhile, Hermione and Lupin were duelling another Death Eater, while Harry and Tonks were duelling Bellatrix. Hermione shot a stunning spell at the Death Eater, he was angered by this and shot a curse at her. It smacked her in the stomach, she doubled over in pain and began to scream. She was clutching at her stomach, howling in pain.
"Youl pay for that one" Lupin shouted, shotting an expert jinx at the Death Eater, knocking him out ran to Hermione to help stop the curse.
"I KILLED SIRIUS BLACK" Shouted Bellatrix horribly, she still taunted Harry after she killed Sirius.
"SHUT UP" Harry Screamed shooting a curse at Her, she dodged it tauntingly; Laughing at how easy it was to make Harry furious with Her.
"dont listen Harry, concentrate, we CAN beat her" Tonks said encouragingly. But as quick as that, Bellatrix lowered her wand, but not before putting up a shield, she stood, still. As if she could hear someone in her head, She and the other two Death Eaters apparated away from the Burrow...
