At that moment, two people appeared out of the fire place, Rose and Hugo Weasley. Ron and Hermione, however , apparated to Harry's home.
'Merry Christmas Harry', Ron said.
'Merry Christmas', Harry replied.
For a split second, Harry thought of saying what had happened in the morning to Ron and Hermione. But he found the kitchen crowded and so thought that it can wait.
Albus (Al) and Rose were playing wizard chess while James, Lily and Hugo were watching.
'Move your pawn to right Al. If not, there is a fair chance for you to lose the game to our lovely Rose 'James said seriously.
'Will you shut up James? I know what I am doing ', al said irritably.
James did a good imitation of how Al's face will be when he is angry and everyone roared with laughter.
'Give it a rest James', Ginny yelled and started serving Onion soup to everyone.
'So what is it you wanted to tell Harry', Ron asked
Harry chocked. He never mentioned anything about his scar to Ron. How could he have found out?' Has Ron become an expert in Legilimens?' Harry asked himself. Pushing all his shock and thoughts away, he asked, 'What do you mean?'
'The case we are dealing Harry, you said that you have information which will help us to find him' Ron explained.
'oh yeah ,I forgot. I heard that he has been sighted in Diagon Alley', Harry said.
'Who you both are talking about?' asked Hermione
'Mundungus Fletcher. He hasn't given up on stealing precious possessions Hermione', Ron said.
Hermione haven't replied and started speaking about S.P.E.W to Ginny.
'She hasn't given up on SPEW' Ron said to Harry in an undertone so that Hermione will not hear him.
'Come on everyone. We will go and play Quidditch', James said. And he, Lily, Hugo, Albus and Teddy went out to play Quidditch. Harry, who desperately wanted to talk privately with Ron and Hermione, signaled them to follow him to the sitting room.
Confused by his Odd behavior, Ron and Hermione followed him to the sitting room.
'What happened Harry?' Hermione asked.
'Listen, I need to talk to you two.' he said and began to tell what happened in the morning.
'You don't reckon that Voldemort is back again, do you?' Ron asked.
'Of course, he is not back. We destroyed all his horcruxes. Haven't we? How could he possibly be back?' Hermione asked sounding worried.
'I don't know. Maybe, Dumbledore would have missed a horcrux. What if there are more horcruxes Hermione?' Harry asked.
The idea of Voldemort having more horcruxes put everyone in a state of shock. It was Hermione who broke the silence.
'Definitely not Harry', she said and he could feel that she sounded even cheery.
'How did you work that out', asked Ron.
'Don't you remember Ron? Last time, when he found out that we are after his horcruxes, he was afraid. He was afraid that he will become mortal again. Harry saw through his mind. Didn't you harry?' asked Hermione.
'Yeah I did, so if Voldemort is not back, then what does this indicate Hermione? Dumbledore said that my scar is giving warning whenever he is near me or whenever he is strong again.' Harry argued back.
'You don't reckon that there is still some part of Voldemort within me, do you?'Harry asked expressing his worst fear.
As harry said this, Ron and Hermione considered it for a moment.
'No Harry, its impossible. He killed that part himself.' Ron said.
At that moment Ginny entered the sitting room putting an end to their conversation. She was looking at them suspiciously.
'What are you three up to?' she yelled. She looked livid.
'Nothing Ginny. We were just talking', Harry said.
'Then you could have done it in the kitchen itself. 'She was skeptical.
'..Err.. We will wait in the kitchen Harry', Ron chuckled and gone out with Hermione leaving Harry and Ginny.
'I know that you are up to something. What is it? 'She snapped.
Harry moved closer and kissed Ginny.'you look beautiful' he said.
Ginny put her arms around harry, 'well, that's not the answer to my question' she said.
Harry looked down and saw Ginny's eyes. Realizing that he can't hide it anymore, he said, 'I will tell you later. Let us go out'.
Harry and Ginny came to the kitchen and everyone was ready to go to the burrow when it happened suddenly. They heard a loud noise coming out of lily's room. Harry, who was already confused by his scar, reached for his wand immediately and gone up through the stairs.
Ron followed him with his wand held out too.
'Everyone wait here. We will be back', Hermione and Ginny said to the kids and followed Harry and Ron.
They reached lily's room and were shocked to see the scene there.
