Before Nathan or Myra could stop him, Harry walked to the floo with Severus behind him wand at the ready to protect his nephew at a moments notice. Astoria and Daphne were worried that their husband was going to get hurt although they knew Severus would defend him. He even was concerned himself though Harry wouldn't show it. Severus knew that his nephew who is too bullheaded like his father and too proud to admit he needs help. As Harry neared the floo almost instinctively through in the floo powder and said borrow but before he could step through Severus went through first followed closely by Harry.
Molly and Arthur Weasley were sitting in the kitchen mourning their son. Unknown to Harry a school owl had delivered the letter before he arrived. "Arthur and Molly, I am so sorry for what has happened I am going see to it the offending student gets the max punishment possible. I have spoken to the head of their family, and they agreed with me." He said softly as Nathan, and Myra floo'd get over to help if need be. Molly looked up at Harry with tears in her eyes, yet he saw a fiery rage and hatred for him. Before it registered with Harry Molly had her wand trained on him. Before she could utter a syllable of the curse Severus, Nathan and Arthur hit Molly with silent stunners.
Arthur looked at Harry apologetically before speaking "My apologies my lord my wife is maddened with grief." Harry nodded in understanding. Myra took Molly to her bed as Arthur, and the others talked. Once in the room, she put a silencing charm on all the walls and sealing the door before reversing the stun spells.
"Molly Weasley what on earth did you think you were doing? And before you answer keep in mind Lord Potter-Ravenclaw is my son in law." She said with venom in her tone as she continued to speak. "As well as Scion of Slytherin house and is allied with your family, he could start a blood feud that would end you." Myra finished making Molly pale in the realization of the repercussions her actions could cause. As Molly was getting a verbal lashing from Myra, the others were being filled in by other what he uncovered. And explained to them an assassin had been snuck into Hogwarts but was unsure as to who it was because too many questions would blow his cover. He also said that Professor Riddle may have an idea of how to uncover the assassin and the person employing them Severus nodded in agreement as Myra came down the stairs having to give Mrs. Weasley verbal beating, she would soon not forget.
As soon as the Potters got back to their suite at Hogwarts Daph decided it was time they buckled down on their potions essays which were to be two foot of parchment on the bezoar and where to find it. Usually, Hermione would join them, but since the attack, the professors thought it best to have grief counselors visit with students who need it, Harry instead sought out professors Snape and Riddle to talk and vent at the instance of his wives. "I still can't figure out where he learned that curse. That curse takes a considerable amount of hate and anger surely Lord Black didn't teach him after all the Blacks are a dark family, but I can't see them see Lord black letting his own son learn such a vile Dudley learning curse, would he?" Harry asked his mentors. Both agreed with his statement and could not see it from his father that left only one question for the trio. Where, when and who did Dudley Black learn the killing curse. What disturbed the two professors more was the information passed on by Mr. Weasley about an assassin on the grounds of Hogwarts, the fact the identity of the killer was still unknown. As they talked in Gryffindor tower in the boy's dorm, young Percy Weasley was planning his revenge for the death of his youngest brother.
Looking into his mirror, he vowed to end Harry Potter and all who stood at his side. After all, Percy believed in Dumbledore's plans to control not only the magical world but the muggle one as well and he refused to accept an infant could stop such a great wizard with no formal training. Astoria and Daphne received a letter from Madam Bones as to a need for Harry to come in and meet with the lead investigator on the case regarding the abuse Harry received growing up on privet drive. Stori looked at her sister trying to think of the best way for them to inform him knowing that their husband was very private about particular subjects of his life. "I believe we should tell Severus and seek his advice on how to proceed," Daphne said to her sister who was nodding in agreement they both got up and walked to said professors office just beyond the entrance to the Slytherin common room bumping into Draco and Tracy Davis. Draco seeing the girls worried expression asked what was going on, the girls informed him, and Tracy about the letter and Draco was so mad he punched the stone wall causing more than a couple bones in his right hand to break upon hitting the wall.
As they approached Snape's office, Harry and Professor Riddle exited the potions professor's office. "Professor I would like you and Professor Snape's advice about something of a family matter," Daphne said as politely as she could manage.
Professor Riddle looked at Daphne for a moment before responding "Daphne in private you may call me Tom as you are married to my heir. And if it is regarding the letter you received Severus, and I received word via floo call from your mother, and have told Harry we will help him through this as I know you all will." He said giving them a knowing look before continuing "Furthermore Mr. Malfoy I am taking ten points from Slytherin for your outburst. And you should go to the hospital wing." He finished with a disappointed look.
