Bill and Charlie made arrangements to buy off the house, they pooled some of their own money plus money from the funding for the Circle and bought furniture and food and left it stored neatly with a note for the couple, explaining that it was theirs, and they wished them a happy future.
It would not be the same as if they had their child back, but it did help.
Bill and Charlie didn't bother to modify anyone's memories, they believed they would be part of their legends, whether good or bad, it didn't matter but it would keep those villagers away from the forest permanently.
Back at London, everyone that was able gather to hear the report, and with the news everyone gripped their chairs tightly too stunned to say anything.
"He's back then?" Someone asked with tears in their voice.
Severus was there, since it was a weekend, he managed to get away with the excuse that he needed more potion ingredients for the students.
He spoke in a greasy dead tone, no one could get a reading from him even if they tried, "The Dark Lord is back and he's not."
No one moved, no one asked for details, they hung on to his words, "The Dark Lord knows of spells, rituals, that are not in school books, nor any decent human would dream of, from the little amount you've told us, the ritual that was cast...it'll bring him closer to a body."
Several people reached out for each other, one of those happened to be Tonks and Remus, they clung tightly to each other.
Severus then met eyes with everyone, "We must now prepare, the Dark Lord is coming."
