Harry stood, his arms spread, turning this way and that. He tried to make sense of what was going on, there must be more than her. She couldn't have done this alone. I'll make her pay, he thought, she'll pay for what she did to Sirius. He knew that didn't matter right now, he had put too many people in danger. If anything happened to Ginny he didn't know what he would do! Who knew what was going on back at the burrow! Suddenly, there was a crash coming from The Burrow and the 5 figures turned to see what was happening. Harry gasped. He couldn't believe it, The Burrow was in flames. There was a stab in his chest. Guilt. He had done this; he had brought so much misfortune on the Weasley family. How many of them had been in danger because of him? And now, the one place they had – the one thing that was safety for them was gone.
"Molly" Arthur said, and Harry watched him as he ran back to the house. Harry stood in shock for a minute more before remembering that the Weasleys may need help. He looked to Ginny and grabbed her hand. They ran back to the burrow and Ginny ran straight over to Fred and George to hug them. Harry saw Molly and Arthur, Molly in tears as Arthur held her close. He heard Tonks and Remus behind him. He looked around. His breathing increased. Where was Ron? Had anyone noticed where he was?
"Ron?" He yelled, and everyone came to their senses. Harry realised nobody knew where Ron was. "RON!" He shouted, he ran around to the back of The Burrow and felt George follow him – No one greeted them there.
"RON! RON, ANSWER ME!" Harry was shaking, this couldn't be happening. He ran to go into The Burrow but hands held him back.
"Remus! Let go of me! We have to get him out! Fred, GET OFF!" He struggled but couldn't break free. He fought and fought until Molly grabbed him in a tight hug.
"I am not losing any more children tonight" She whispered into his ear and Harry collapsed onto the floor shaking. Ginny ran to him, Harry tried to stay strong for her. But he couldn't. How could this have happened? How could they all stand and do nothing? The night felt colder all of a sudden and Harry swore he could hear a haunting laugh echoing through the sky as his whole world came crumbling down around him.
