Hermione had arranged a meeting with a journalist for The Daily Prophet to discuss the story but she still had some time before that: which she used to prepare herself and make sure she had all her facts together and all her notes were organised so that nothing is forgotten and all the points, that she needs to make, are put across.
Luna was writing her story for the Quibbler. Writing about every killing so far and how they believed that the deaths were related to Harry Potter and his friends but they were working as quickly and efficiently as they could to get the mystery solved and catch the person behind the murders.
Harry, Ginny and Ron were not ready to speak to Molly but they knew they had to. They decided to take a wander around Hogsmeade to avoid the situation for a while. They knew they couldn't get away with it for too long though but Ginny thought about going to Honeydukes and getting some fluffy fudge to possibly sweeten Molly up and hopefully might help her take the news slightly better. Ron doubted it but anything is worth a try.
Hermione had no reason to be nervous the meeting went really well. All the points of the murders had been wrote and the ideas that they had, had all been noted. They spoke about Hermione's meeting with the muggle Prime Minister and how they were representing the news and that they had pictures of what the possible victims could look like. Hermione was glad it was a quick and easy interview and it was over and done with. She just hoped that Luna wrote the story alright but more than that she hoped that Harry, Ginny and Ron were getting on alright with Molly.
Harry, Ginny and Ron had arrived outside The Burrow, they took a few deep breaths, shook themselves down and entered. The minute they walked in they were met by Arthur who was seen setting the table.
"Perfect timing kids we're just about to eat and there's plenty to go around," Arthur had told them. "Molly! We have guests."
Next minute they heard footsteps coming downstairs. "Harry dear, Ginny, Ron, how lovely to see you all! Sit and join us."
They all sat down but Harry was the first to speak. "You might not be saying that in five minutes, we're actually here to talk to you."
"Are you alright Harry?" Arthur had asked.
"Please tell me you're alright Ginny dear? And you too Ron?" Molly had added.
"We are fine but please just let me speak as this won't be easy to hear," Ginny had answered. "Have some fluffy fudge Mum, I know it's your favourite."
Ron had gave Molly the fudge and they all took turns telling them both what has been happening, their thoughts and that it has been reported so they'd rather tell them before they heard anywhere else.
Molly didn't know what to do or say. Please all look after each other," she'd finally replied.
Harry was the one to hopefully ease her worries. "We will Molly, I promise."
