The Heart of Stone

By: jen20069

Description: My very first HP fan fiction. I am a huge fan of Harry and Hermione so here is a story all about them, their lives, secrets, and friends. Of course Voldie is going to show up as well.

Disclaimer:

I don't own any of these characters well except for one but she won't come in until later. All others belong to the genius herself J.K. Rowling. ( Gotta love her..)

A special thank you to my most recent reviewers: QueenieNRCatFan, Lily Wondercat, Natalia, Angel_05, Calypso in Love, Aqualaria, renoldo9, pttrlvr, ice princess, kittyluver87, jamesz101387, audrey, demortes, gaile, and last but certainly not least Draco's Girl… thanks for adding me to your favorites Draco's Girl!

Chapter 6

Ron quickly interrupted Dumbledore, "But what about me? I haven't had any contact with Voldemort, and I don't have a scar. No one in my family has died mysteriously. So why am I here?"

Everyone was silent. A large brown barn owl came soaring through the window. It held a black envelope in its claws and dropped its delivery right in the lap of…

~*~*~*~*~*~* (end recap) ~*~*~*~*~*~*

It held in its claws and dropped its delivery right in the lap of… Ron Weasely. It was deathly silent in the office. Ron sighed, he knew something was coming, now here it was. What was he going to do… open it here… or run out… he decided to take the high road and open it in the office.

Dearest Ron,

I hate to have to inform you like this but seeing as your older brothers are away for a semester you are the oldest at Hogwarts. There is no easy way to say this, Percy has been found murdered. Probably at the hands of Lord Voldemort. His service shall be next week. We would send a letter to Ginny but we felt it best if you stay with her and help her through this tragedy. We will send for you at the beginning of week, you shall be home for two days. I'm sorry I had to tell you like this, but your mother is beside herself and is in no condition to travel. See you soon.

Love

Your father

Ron looked up from his letter. He was mad, furious, that someone the likes of Voldemort was systematically taking everything that was precious to them. Wiping out family members one by one. He stood quickly but silently. " Percy is dead, Voldemort murdered him," Ron sighed " I have to speak to Ginny if that is possible Professor?" Professor Dumbledore nodded in agreement and sent for her immediately.

"In light of the recent events I suggest that I call this meeting to a close. We will meet again tomorrow after you have all had a chance to digest the information that I have given you. Also, due to recent events changes shall be made in rooming assignments. Harry and Ron, shall have a dorm room to themselves. Jenna and Hermione, you two shall now be sharing a room. Draco, you shall be given a room to yourself, away from the other Slytherin. For now you shall stay in Slytherin unless complications arise. All of your new rooms have a special feature. They are soundproof and you will be able to disapparate after you are shown how to. They will also have special shielding features and a hidden door. Each rooms hidden door will open to a main room. This will be your own study and practice area. It is magically guarded so only you five may enter. Be careful and good luck. You need to stick together. Five less one and evil shall triumph. Such would bring about the end of world as we know it. But that's just something for ya'll to think about. Good night."

The group disassembled quickly and went to their rooms. They quickly were able to find their hidden doors and in turn the secret room. The only missing member was Ron but he was still tending to his sister who had been, and understandably so, heartbroken with the news. The four just looked from one to another. They had all changed into normal clothes. It seemed the most comfortable at the time. They just didn't know what to say to one another. Malfoy was the surprise though, he had been especially quiet since his arrival and frankly people were getting quite antsy to know just what had happened to him.
