Bill to the rescue:

It had been a very long and emotional day, but Arthur Weasley still needed answers. He knew there was no use asking Albus Dumbledore, that man would make sure to say a lot without actually giving anything away.

Arthur sent his wife home and explained he would be there soon. He just wanted to speak with a few other people before he left Hogwarts.

Arthur hurried up to the hospital where two of his children were along with the young boy who saved his daughter's life.

Arthur spoke with the matron for a minute before he went to join the children and Poppy went to her office.

'I would like you three to tell me everything. I knew Albus did not pass over all the information on what happened. I also want to know more about when you, Fred and George rescued Harry during the summer.

Ginny started by explaining how she found the diary in her cauldron. It was Harry and Ron that explained how Lucius Malfoy had slipped that book into Ginny's cauldron when they were in Flourish and Blotts. Ginny then went on to explain about how she was scared so she began to write about all her worries in the diary and the more she wrote the more she began to lose herself.

When Ginny finished, Ron told his father about why he was worried about Harry. He decided to speak with the twins to work out how to help Harry. After explaining what he and the twins found when we got to Harry, Arthur asked Harry to explain about his life with the muggles. They did but then they began to explain everything about their first year at Hogwarts and how often they faced danger, more Harry than Ron. There were a few times when both of them could have died. The more Arthur heard, the more he began to believe that there was something wrong with Albus Dumbledore. He was either going senile or he had some plans for Harry. If it was plans that the man had, then he wasn't against sacrificing other children, like his son and daughter.

The moment Arthur got home, he was still trying to calm down. He could not believe how close he came to losing some of his children. Not just Ron who helped Harry with the philosopher's stone, or Ginny in the chamber of secrets. But he could have lost Percy, Fred and George as well. He would need to do some serious thinking before seeing if there was a way to keep his children safe but also Harry. That boy risked his own life to help the little sister of his friend. They owed it to Harry to help him any way they could.

One thing Arthur knew he was going to do, he was going to make sure Harry stayed at the Burrow for the entire holidays and he was going to make sure Harry stayed at the Burrow every holidays. It was time to get Harry away from the abuse done by the muggles, that Albus allowed. He owned the boy for saving his daughter's life. If it meant always going to the muggles and picking him up on the afternoon that all the students arrived home, he would do it. He knew Molly would look after Harry so he didn't have to try to talk his wife into keeping Harry, unofficially. Friends could visit friends during the holidays, they were just going to make sure Harry stayed for the entire holiday and every holiday after that. Arthur would say this was how he could pay the debt that the family owed Harry for saving Ginny's life.

Arthur sat his wife down and explained more about Harry's life with the Dursley's and how thanks to Ron, Fred and George, Harry didn't starve to death.

'So from beginning of these holidays, I will pick Harry up the moment he arrives at the Dursley's. Every other holiday, he will leave with you and the rest of the children. He will stay here. Now Molly, Harry is a very independent child, he had no choice since those muggles would do the nothing for him. If I got the read on young Harry, I believe he will want to pay his way or he will feel that he is stealing from us. I believe if he offers, we allow him to pay us for taking him in. Let's say ten galleons for the entire the entire holidays. It will make him feel like he isn't taking food from our mouths. He knows that we do not have a lot so he would not stay if he couldn't pay his own way. Also, Harry was forced to do so many chores that it would take all our seven children do to. I believe we could still give him a chore, especially since he will see the other children doing their chores. It will make him feel more like part of the family, instead of a visitor. We can work out which chore he can do every day but it will be one, like when Ron has to clean out the chicken coop. I also want to make Harry along with our other children feel that they can write to us if they see something wrong at Hogwarts. So no howlers Molly, or they could end up hurt, or worse since they will be afraid to write and tell us what is going on.'

'After you explained what has happened over the last two years, yes, they will need to know they can trust us to help them. Alright, since Ron's room is small, I will make up Bill and Charlie's old room for Harry. If the boys visit, they can bunk in the living room.'

'That is a good idea. It will allow Harry to feel like he really has a home and his own space. Do you know that everything he owns, which includes his books from first and second year, are all in his trunk. He explained that he can't leave anything there or they would destroy it. He wanted to know if there was a second hand book shop that he could give his old books to. Now, if he has a room that was truly his, then he can keep them then review before tests. It would also help Ginny since all of Harry's books are new so I'm sure Harry would allow Ginny to use them since he won't need them all the time. Just to review before he takes his owls.'

'There is an old bookshelf in the attic, you can get that down later. So we have another two days before the children return home, which gives us plenty of time to sort out his room and work on what the children's chores will be. I want it to seem fair so they have to have chores that take the same amount of time. Hopefully having Harry here will help Ron see that he can allow his sister to join him when he has a fly.'

'Harry did go down there to help Ginny Molly, so I'm sure Harry would think of her as a friend so he will allow her to join him and Ron when they fly. I also believe it's time Ron knew that it's alright to have fun but he must put in a decent amount of time into his school work. Harry would be able to help with that. We can sort everything else out tomorrow. It's late, we should get to bed.'

Arthur was standing near the front door of the Dursley's. He watched the three Dursley's get out of the car, yet Harry had to get his heavy trunk himself. Arthur carefully kept his wand hidden with his sleeve, but flicked which made the trunk feather light. He moved over to the boy to make it look like he helped Harry with his heavy trunk. There were other muggles around, so he had to be careful.

'Thank you Mr Weasley, it does get heavy.' Harry said softly.

'You're welcome Harry,' Arthur said in a whisper, then in a normal voice, 'Even though your uncle should have been a decent enough person to help you out,' Arthur gave the Dursley's a glare. He had seen that they were going to say something to him until he saw the wand, which made the three of them back away, 'Every holidays, you will leave with me and Molly to take you home with us. Molly and I believe you will have a normal childhood with us instead of these...freaks,' Arthur made sure to look at the Dursley's, 'Only freaks would abuse a baby and a small boy by making him their slave and not feeding him what he needs to grow but also, locking him in a cupboard, child abuse,' Arthur once again glared at the three Dursley's but he had made sure to speak loud enough that the neighbours heard, 'Your parents were hero's who saved the world and sacrificed themselves, for you, so you would have a good life. It's time you got that Harry. Besides, you are such a good boy who saved my daughter's life. I'm sure Hedwig will prefer to fly and she's been to my home before.'

'She would prefer to fly. She doesn't like the cage,' Harry whispered to Hedwig as he let her out of the cage, 'Have a safe flight girl,' Harry smiled as his owl rubbed her beak against his cheek before she flew off.

'You three, if anyone that knows Harry asks where he is, simply say he is staying with friends. It is not up to anyone else what Harry does during the holidays. I hope you understand what and who I mean,' Arthur glared again then walked over to Harry, 'Let's go Harry, my car is down the street. I forgot where the house was.'

Harry noticed Mr Weasley wink at him, which made him smile, 'It's easy enough to get lost around here since all the houses are alike and so boring. I love your home Mr Weasley, it's to big and just a great place.'

Once Harry and Arthur were hidden from the muggles, Arthur took Harry by side-along apparition to the Burrow. While he had been picking up Harry, Molly had been explaining to their children how Harry would be living there during the holidays from now on.

Arthur helped Harry get settled into his new room, 'So if there's anything you wish to do to the room to make it more yours, feel free. I'm sure you've seen Ron's posters on his wall. These walls are bare ready for you to personalise it.'

'Thank you Mr Weasley. I would like to talk with you and Mrs Weasley later, about how much I need to give you for my keep. I don't mind working, I will, just like Ron does. But I would feel better if knew I could pay my way. I have the money and I would rather use that by giving it to you, which allows me to stay here.'

'We can discuss that after dinner. Now I'm sure Ron is anxious to see you.'

'Thanks again Mr Weasley.'

Harry walked up the stairs to see his friend lying on his bed, reading a quidditch magazine. That sight made Harry smile.

Harry didn't know it, but right as he began talking to Ron, the Dursley's were being talked about by all the neighbours. By the morning, everyone will know the Dursley's were liars and child abusers. By the afternoon, the police will be at their door. By the following morning, the squib who was there for Albus Dumbledore would be informing the headmaster that the Dursley's had been arrested, yet there was no sign of Harry.

It was only two days later that Arthur and Molly got into a big argument with Albus. They even threatened to go to the aurors about allowing the-boy-who-lived to be abused in the home Albus left him and what was going on at Hogwarts. Arthur also told Albus that none of his children nor Harry will be returning to Hogwarts while Snape is there. The man deserves to be locked up. Harry glared at the man who had left him with the Dursley's and said if he was somehow forced back, he would leave the wizarding world for good. He would also speak with the aurors about every bit of danger that had been at Hogwarts to find out if they could get a new headmaster who doesn't put students in life threatening danger.

Albus Dumbledore realised if the-boy-who-lived spoke to the aurors and they were to see his memories, it just might mean he would lose his job as headmaster. He sagged as he came to the conclusion that he would have to get tougher of bullies but also, get rid of his potions master. He also knew it meant leaving Harry at the Burrow with the Weasley's. He would also have to upgrade the wards around Hogwarts to prevent anything dark entering the school. He realised he should have done that earlier. If Harry hadn't killed the basilisk, hundreds of students along with the staff could have been killed. When Albus left, the one thing he realised was he had stopped paying attention to what was going on inside his school. He used to always know what was going on. He was also known as a great wizard and Hogwarts was the safest place in Britain. If word got out about what happened during Harry's first and second year, Albus would lose his reputation but Hogwarts would also lose it's reputation, which meant many parents might decide that their children should go to another school. If too many children left Hogwarts, it could mean the school would close.

Arthur and Molly took a while to calm down after Albus left. They knew he was powerful and had a lot of supporters. Things could have gone so badly for them but they were willing to fight Albus if it meant giving Harry the life he deserved and he did deserve to better life than the one he had been living. He risked his own life to save their youngest child's life, they were going to make sure Harry got a good life.

It was the following morning that Harry was able to speak with Mr and Mrs Weasley's about paying his way but also doing chores. The three of them worked out how much Harry should pay but some was taken off for the jobs he would be doing. Molly explained to Harry that her children got money, an allowance, for the jobs they did. This way, Harry could still pay his way and do some chores but since he wouldn't need an allowance, he would pay less. Harry finally agreed, then thanked the Weasley's again.

Over the next couple of weeks, Harry finally begun to relax. He did pay his way which made him feel better but he also had the job of helping with dinner. When Molly found out that the Dursley's made Harry cook, she asked Harry if he liked to cook or if he would prefer something else. Harry admitted that he did like cooking, he just had to pretend he didn't when he was at the Dursley's. Molly planned to teach Harry a lot while he was helping her with dinner that way Harry would always be able to take care of himself, once he was an adult and had his own home.

Harry was able to talk Ron into allowing Ginny to join them when they had a fly. Ron saw that his sister was a very good flyer, so she was always with them when they decided to fly.

Harry was helping with dinner when he saw a red headed man walk into the house and hug Mr and Mrs Weasley. Harry knew it must be one of Ron's older brothers, he just wasn't sure which one. When he finally sat down with the others to eat, Mr Weasley introduced Bill to Harry. He explained that Bill will be staying for a week.

That night, after the children went up to their rooms, Arthur and Molly sat down with Bill and went into details about everything that had happened at Hogwarts and what happened to Ginny.

'So Ginny said the boy, Tom, wrote back then she began to lose time. She has no memory of doing anything during those times.'

'Yes. Do you know what type of curses might have been on that diary?' Arthur asked.

'I might, I will have to go through my books. So how did Ginny and the diary get separated?'

'Harry, after killing the basilisk, which bit him, he used the fang that had been in his arm to stab the diary. Harry said the memory Tom screamed like he was the one that was stabbed.'

'Then it was more than just to force Ginny to open the chamber. I will get my books and go through them. Do any of them know you asked me to come here for this?'

'No, we wanted to speak with you first, to see if you might have some idea what this was. All we know for sure was that it involves you-know-who and we almost lost not only Ginny, but Ron, Fred, George and Percy. Harry risked his life to help Ginny but the other students could have been killed as well,' Molly said.

'We had a big argument with Albus about the danger but also, about the home he left Harry in. That boy had been mistreated since he was left there and Albus knew. We were able to get a few concessions out of him when we told him we planned to go to the aurors but also, the children would be withdrawn from Hogwarts, which included Harry. He finally got rid of Snape and he is going to be harder on those bullying students, the ones who has death eater parents. But this diary Bill and the way it affected Ginny, I really hope you can figure this out. We know Albus will not tell us even if he finds out.'

'I already have an idea but I want to be sure of my facts before I say anything. So apart from finding out Harry had a bad life with the muggles, he seems like a nice boy.'

'He is. Ron and the twins rescued him before they went to Hogwarts. He was ever so polite and always offered to help with chores. Right now, he was adamant about paying his way and he has been able to get Ron to actually do some school work. They also include Ginny when they go flying. It's a wonder that boy turned out as good as he had with the life he has lived. You seemed a bit worried Bill, what is it?'

'It's the scar. Even though cursed scars will always remain, it's like it was just done. It should have faded a bit so it would look like an old scar instead of new. Something's not right about that scar.'

'During Ron and Harry's first year, Ron wrote that Harry often got pain in the scar. He wrote that Harry rubs it a lot, like it's always aching,' Molly said.

'Even though he is the only person to survive the killing curse, he shouldn't be feeling anything from that scar. The killing curse is a painless curse, as far as all the research said. I wonder if he had pain in it when he was young, I mean when it was just done,' Bill said.

'He wouldn't remember so I doubt we could find out,' Arthur said.

'Maybe not. If I was to use legilimense on him, I might be able to find his memories from when he was first left with those muggles.'

'I would suggest asking him but if he says no, then I would let it go. Harry doesn't like the scar or being reminded of it, mainly because it reminds him that he lost his parents,' Arthur said.

'It's getting late, but I want to get started on this. If I happen to stay up late, I'll silence the door so you won't wake me in the morning.'

After they said goodnight, Arthur and Molly headed upstairs. Bill first transfigured the sofa into a bed before he began to pull out a lot of his curse breaking books. He had a lot of reading to do but since he already knew what he was looking for, he knew which books to read, he mainly had to find a solution to the problem. He was determined to find out how to help Harry for what he did when he saved Ginny's life. But he also knew this could mean another war with Voldemort if something wasn't done.

From the following day, Bill spent time with his brothers and sister, along with Harry. He even had a fly with them. He was amazed at how good Harry was on his broom. Bill believed Harry was better than Charlie and Charlie could have gone on to play quidditch for England. But every spare minute, he was going through his books. He had warded a section of the living room where he kept all his books. No children should ever see them and he knew his twin brothers just might get nosy so it was safer to ward it.

It took another two days for Bill to find out exactly what to do. He spent the following day carving runes into one of his crystals.

Bill waited until his brothers, sister and Harry went upstairs to get ready for bed before gesturing for his parents to follow him into the living room. When they did, he locked and silenced the room from anyone outside the room from hearing anything.

'Did you find something?' Arthur asked anxiously.

'Yes, but luckily, the solution was in one of my books. Now as you know, some of my books are not sold to anyone other than curse breakers so this is information that not everyone can get. If Albus Dumbledore has worked all this out, he would not be able to find a solution, which means he would go with the only other option. Let me explain what that diary was before I explain the rest.'

'Please do because I've been so worried what this could mean for Ginny but also everyone else.'

'Ginny's fine dad. She wouldn't have been if Harry hadn't used that basilisk fang. The diary was not just to open the chamber of secrets and release the basilisk, it also held a piece of you-know-who's soul. The teenage boy that was there, a young you-know-who, he was using that piece of soul to suck the life out of Ginny so he would be restored. We would have had a young, powerful dark wizard back but one with all the memories he would have gotten from Ginny. I am going to need that diary to fix this.'

'We can ask Harry what happened to it, but I would say Albus has it.'

'We'll find out in the morning. Okay, I was able to find out that having his soul in the diary, he made it when he was a teenage boy. That meant he killed as a teenager to split a piece of his soul from the whole and encase it in the diary. But after some reading and working out a problem, I realised he must have done this a few more times. Which means he is still out there and he will try to return. Nothing can kill him until all those vessels are either destroyed or drained. As I said, some of my books are not for others to buy. One explains how to use one of the vessels to drain all of them into a rune carved crystal. That's why I need the diary.'

'But the soul was destroyed when Harry stabbed it,' Molly said.

'That doesn't matter, it was encased in that diary for more than fifty years so there is enough residue of that dark magic for me to use the crystal. Now to the reason as to how I figured out there was more. You explained that he set the snake on Harry, to kill him. You explained about what happened to Harry, Ron and Hermione during their first year, how you-know-who was possessing that teacher. You explained the pain Harry gets in his scar. It means he has no idea about Harry. I studied my books and realised the reason it hasn't healed and why he still gets pain. You-know-who must have made at least another three before he went after the Potter's. His soul was so unstable that when he killed either Lily or when he tried to kill Harry, another piece of his soul broke away. I believe it happened when the killing curse rebounded off Harry onto him. He disappeared, the piece of soul that broke away was still there. He wasn't so he could not perform the ritual to encase it in a vessel.'

'Dear merlin, Harry,' Arthur said making Molly gasp.

'Yes, it found a living vessel. Now as I was saying earlier about my books. If Albus figures this out, he will believe the only way to be rid of you-know-who is to destroy all his vessels, which would include Harry.'

'No, I won't allow anyone to kill that boy,' Molly shrieked.

'It's fine mum, I can remove it along with all the others and I don't need to know where they are. I just need the diary and my crystal. It's a long ritual but it will bring all the pieces to me, to the crystal and they will not be able to escape. All I have to do then is use fiend fyre to destroy it. I am licensed to use fiend fyre. The only thing I don't know is how Harry will feel when it's being done. He will be fine after, so you don't need to worry. But there is nothing written about what a living creature feels when it's being done.'

'As long as his fine, I think Harry wouldn't care if it caused him pain. He has suffered for two years at Hogwarts due to you-know-who. Your brothers and sister could have died, again due to him. We'll talk to him in the morning about the diary, then explain what is behind his scar,' Arthur said.

'You said fiend fyre, where will you do that?' Molly asked.

'I can control it mum, so I'll do it down in the orchard away from the house and everyone.'

'What do you believe Harry will feel, if anything?' Arthur asked.

'I would say he will feel some pain. I will be pulling that out of him, so he will feel that, I just don't know if he will feel more. It's a guess that he might have pain, he might not. I won't know until I do this. Also, no one can be near me or Harry at the time. It's only in case one of them escape and tries to possess you. I will have my amulet and Harry will be fine since he's already has one inside him. Two cannot occupy the same vessel, but I plan to shield Harry with one of my amulets. They are one of the first things we learn when we become curse breakers, amulets to make sure we don't end up cursed or possessed.'

The following morning after breakfast and after the Weasley children did their chores, Bill asked to speak with Harry, alone for a minute.

'Is something wrong?'

Bill smiled, 'No, there's a problem that I can fix but there's nothing wrong. First I need to ask you about the diary that Ginny had.'

'Um, yeah, what about it?'

'Where is it now?'

'I gave it to Dobby the house elf to help set him free from Malfoy.'

'Um, can you explain that?'

'See, all year, Dobby had been popping in giving me warnings about danger at Hogwarts. He couldn't tell me what or who was causing the danger, just that he wanted me to stay away. Well, after we came out of the chamber, Lucius Malfoy turned up, with Dobby. I worked out that it was Malfoy who slipped the diary to Ginny in Flourish and Blotts. Me and Dumbledore knew we could never prove he did anything. Dumbledore had the diary then. When I saw the way Malfoy treated Dobby, hitting him with a cane and even kicking him, I asked Dumbledore if I could have the diary. I ran after Malfoy and thrust it into his hands. He instantly handed it to Dobby. It looked disgusting so he didn't want to hold it. It was my dirty bloody sock. Dobby ended up free. Then Malfoy tried to kill me, Dobby saved me before he popped away.'

'So he's a free elf. Do you think he would come to you if you called him?'

'Yeah, he said he wanted to…um,' Harry blushed, then mumbled, 'help the great Harry Potter sir,' Harry blushed brighter making Bill chuckle.

'Alright, we need that diary but there's more. It wasn't just charmed to open the chamber of secrets. It had a piece of you-know-who's soul inside it. I worked out that he did that deliberately and he made other vessels to hold some of his soul. I am going to use the diary to call them all to my rune carved crystal. That's why he didn't die that night Harry, the night you got your scar. He had pieces of his soul hidden in vessels. No one can know this, it's very dark magic but I am licensed to deal with these types of things.'

'So you can get rid of him?' Harry asked sounding excited.

'Yes, since he is only spirit, he will disintegrate the moment I destroy the crystal. Can you call Dobby.'

Harry nodded, 'Dobby,' Harry said, then looked around. It took a few seconds before the little elf arrived and instantly latched onto Harry's legs.

'The great Harry Potter called Dobby.'

'Yeah, I did Dobby. Are you okay?'

'The great Harry Potter asked if Dobby is okay, he truly is a great wizard.'

'Um…' Harry blushed again

'Dobby is good Harry Potter sir. Dobby was able to get a job at Hoggywarts. Professor Bumblebee even pays Dobby. He even said I can call him a barmy old goat, if I want to.'

Bill and Harry laughed, 'That's great Dobby. I'm glad your okay. Um, I was wondering if you still have that diary?'

'Dobby has it Harry Potter sir.'

'Do you think I could have it Dobby?'

'Harry Potter want dark book?'

'It's for me Dobby. I am a curse breaker and I want to use it to destroy more like that,' Bill said.

'Bill wants to help make sure Voldemort can't come back but we need the diary.'

Dobby instantly disappeared, but he appeared again in seconds, holding the book.

'Thank you Dobby. Remember what I said, if you ever want something and I can do it, I will. You saved my life,' Harry gave the elf a hug, which started Dobby crying before he popped away.

Harry handed the diary to Bill, 'So, that's where you stabbed it?'

'Yeah. I was desperate and Ginny was dying. I didn't know what else to do.'

'You did the right thing. Basilisk venom is one of only three ways that could have destroyed this. Now I have something important to tell you, it's about your scar.'

Harry's hand flew to his scar, 'Is it about why I still feel pain in it?'

'Yes, it's like the diary and the other vessels. He did not mean to do that to you, but he's soul was so unstable that a piece broke away that night. He disappeared so it tried to find something, and found you. I can remove it as well, then you won't feel pain and the scar will begin to heal. It might not disappear completely, we won't know that until it's had time to heal.'

'You can stop the pain?'

'Yes. But what I don't know is about what you will feel while I'm doing this. You'll be fine after but you will feel a pull. I just don't know if this could hurt you.'

'I don't care. The pain gets so bad sometimes that I can't see properly or do anything.'

'Then in about an hour we'll get that out of you.'

'Thanks. So it's a bit of his soul stuck there. How does that happen?'

'It's very dark magic Harry and it's not something most people want to know. All I will say is that to do it, means killing someone.'

Harry shuddered, 'I don't want to know. Um, can I explain all this to Ron?'

'I plan to tell Ron. I figured you would not want to keep this from your best friend.'

'I would rather not but I'm sure he would understand if I explained it can't be told to anyone else.'

'No, I will so he will know just how dangerous this information is. But both of you along with my parents can never tell anyone else about this. It's very dark magic and we don't want other dark wizards doing what...he did. Alright, I have some things to do so we'll be ready to get that out of you and get rid of him, once and for all.'

'Thanks Bill,' Harry said with an embarrassed smile before hurrying from the room.

Harry went to find Ron, who was outside flying around the orchard. All Harry said to him then was that Bill will explain what they were talking about.

Bill showed his parents the diary but then he explained about Dobby, the house elf and how it saved Harry's life, from Lucius Malfoy.

'Why wouldn't Dumbledore get the aurors to investigate?' Molly asked.

'Harry just said that he and Dumbledore didn't think they would be able to prove it. I know the ministry in Egypt and Romania use memories to see the truth, that's after it's been verified that it wasn't tampered with. Do you think someone in the auror office here would do that?'

'I could speak with Alastor, he would know if the aurors would take memories as proof of a crime. I would really love to get that man. He proved how dangerous he is when he slipped that diary to Ginny. Oh, please put that somewhere, I don't want Ginny to see it. I'll contact Alastor now while I'm home.'

Molly watched as her husband went into the living room, 'When will you be doing this?'

'It takes me around an hour to set up the area, so I'm heading down there now. I'll put the book in one of my bags, that's warded then get my stuff. I'll send my patronus up to let you know when to send Harry down.'

'Alright Bill, be careful.'

'I always am.'

Bill first went to speak to Ron so he would know what is going on.

'So you see, this can never be spoken about Ron. I'm licensed to do all this type of stuff. If you got caught talking about it, you could end up in Azkaban.'

'I promise I won't Bill. I'm just glad you can fix this so Harry won't have pain anymore.'

'He won't. I need this area clear, so head inside. I'll send for you Harry when it's time.'

'Okay,' Ron and Harry said before heading into the house.

When Bill's patronus bear asked Harry to come down, Molly hugged him.

'Go on dear.'

Harry nodded, gave Ron a nervous look before leaving the house.

'What's going…' Fred began.

'On mum…' George finished.

'It's something no one can know, but Bill is helping with a serious problem. You will noticed, later, that Harry's scar will begin to heal. I want you all to make sure you don't talk about it which could have people asking questions.'

'Harry always got…' Fred began.

'...pain in his scar…' George finished.

'This will stop him having pain,' Molly went back to cleaning the kitchen but she couldn't help glancing out the window.

It was nearly two hours later that Bill helped Harry into the house.

'He's fine, it just took a lot out of him. He will need some dittany put on it, then just cleaned up. Harry, you might be best having a nap as well.'

'Did it hurt?' Ron asked staring at the blood over his friends face.

'A little, not much. It just felt strange.'

Molly cleaned Harry's face before dropping some dittany into the scar.

'Look, it's already healing,' Molly said.

'Hopefully, it will heal completely but as I said, it might leave the faintest of scars. But it won't be noticeable, not like it was.'

Ron helped Harry up to his room. Before he left the room, Harry was asleep.

When Harry woke, he noticed it was dark. He could hear voices coming from downstairs so he knew it wasn't late. He used the bathroom before walking downstairs. He stopped when he noticed two people sitting at the table with the Weasley's. A woman with a monocle and a man with a strange rolling eye.

'It's alright Harry dear. Come sit and I will get your dinner.'

'Did I miss it?'

'Yes, but we decided you needed to sleep.' Molly got Harry's dinner, patted him on the shoulder before sitting back down.

'These people are here because I called them Harry. This is Madam Amelia Bones, the head of the department of magical law enforcement. This is Alastor Moody, a friend and former auror.'

'What's an auror?' Harry asked between bites.

'Dark wizard catcher. Almost all the cells in Azkaban are filled thanks to Mr Moody,' Amelia said, 'The aurors are part of my department, along with hit wizards and the law enforcement squad. Hit wizards will deal with serious crimes, the squad deal with minor or non dangerous crimes and the aurors deal with dark wizards or objects.'

'So aurors are like the S.A.S.'

'That's one way to put it lad,' Alastor said, 'I lost too many body parts so I retired.'

'Dark wizards would go the extra length when facing Alastor. I was an auror yet all I have is one small scar,' Amelia said giving Alastor a smirk.

'Yeah, alright, you don't need to remind me. Just tell the boy why we're here.'

Harry instantly tensed and dropped his fork, 'It's fine son. We're here because you just might be able to help put a dark wizard in Azkaban. Bill explained about Dobby and how he saved your life when Lucius Malfoy went to kill you. Can you tell us how he was going to kill you?' Amelia asked.

'Oh, um, well, after he realised he set Dobby free, he yelled at me for losing his house elf. He took his wand from the walking stick, pointed it at me then said avada. Dobby stopped him.'

'How exactly did he stop him?'

'He said you will not harm Harry Potter, then Lucius Malfoy flew about thirty feet, landing hard on his back. Dobby then just stood in front of me, arms folded and glared at the man. Malfoy turned and left.'

'So he definitely said avada?'

'Yes, so I knew straight away that he was going to use the killing curse.'

'How do you know that's what it's called Harry dear?' Molly asked.

'Um, well, dreams. I hear the night my parents were killed in my dreams. He was laughing before he said avada...well, you know. I remember the flash of green light, I remember being sang to, I remember being tickled by a man with long hair. I remember my mother would sing to me. Oh, and I remember a flying motorbike.'

'You remember more than most kids would at that age,' Alastor said.

'Yes, you do. Alright Harry, this strange bowl on the table is called a pensieve. It allows us to use it to view memories. What we would like to do is view your memory of when Lucius Malfoy went to use that curse on you. If me and Alastor see that he was really going to use that curse, we can arrest him for attempted murder. You see Harry, we know that man is dark, we also know he was one of Voldemort's death eaters. He told the court that he was under the imperius curse, then a lot of money changed hands, so he got off. If this shows him going to use that curse, which is an unforgivable, he will do anywhere from twenty five years to life.'

'Okay, but how do you get my memory into the bowl?'

'It's quite simple and I will help you. All you have to do is think of that moment. Make sure you have it in your mind, then I will pull it away. It's only a copy that I will be taking, not your memory of that.'

Harry nodded then began to think of what happened with Lucius Malfoy. When he had it in his mind, he nodded. He felt a tingly pull at his temple. When he opened his eyes, he saw a silver strand being pulled away from his head. Harry watched as the woman put the silver stuff in the bowl, then she began to do some type of spell over the bowl. When she finished, the man began to cast spells over the bowl.

'I verify that this memory has not been tampered with in any way,' Alastor said.

'I verify the same. This is the real memory. Now let's go in and have a look.'

Harry's eyes widened when the two people bent over the bowl and lowered their heads through the strange liquid. The rest of their bodies was still there. Only their faces were inside the bowl.

'Won't they drown?'

Bill and Arthur chuckled, 'No dear, it's not water, it's a magical substance that just allows the person to feel like they are standing beside you during that memory,' Molly said.

'Strange,' Harry shrugged then finished off his dinner.

He took his plate to the sink, rinsed it and stacked it with the other dirty dishes. He just sat back down when the two people stood up.

'We've got the bastard,' Alastor growled.

'Yes, we have and the minister cannot do anything about it.' Amelia turned to Harry, 'Thank you Harry. With your memory, we will be able to make sure that man goes to Azkaban, probably for life.'

'Um, if it was as simple as this, taking my memory, why didn't Dumbledore suggest it?'

'We're not sure Harry,' Arthur said.

'Albus will always give people another chance. He forgets that sooner or later, you have to stop. Lucius Malfoy has had many chances. He doesn't deserve anymore.' Amelia said.

'Okay, I'm glad I could help. Can I go now Mr and Mrs Weasley?'

'Yes Harry, go enjoy your evening,' Arthur said.

Everyone stayed quiet until Harry disappeared upstairs, 'We noticed his scar was almost gone,' Amelia said, 'Any chance you can explain that?'

Arthur and Molly looked at Bill, 'They are both trustworthy Bill. I believe they should know,' Arthur said.

Bill nodded, but instead of telling the people what was going on, he decided to show them his memory.

Albus Dumbledore was working at his desk at Hogwarts when his fireplace flared. He instantly went to it and knelt down.

'Alastor, this is a surprise.'

'Me along with two other people need to speak with you Albus. We also believe you should see a memory.'

'Very well, I will open my floo. Can you tell me who these other two people are?'

'Amelia Bones and Bill Weasley.'

'Very unusual, but as I said, I will open my floor.'

Albus watched as the three people stepped out of the floo, one by one.

'Amelia, Bill, Alastor, it's nice to see you all. What can I do for you?'

'Instead of explaining, I think it's best if you watch the memory, then we can talk,' Amelia said, holding out a vial.

'Very mysterious,' Albus smiled, took the vial and poured it into the pensieve, 'I take it I am going in alone?'

'Yes, we've seen it or were part of it,' Amelia said.

'Very well.'

Alastor, Amelia and Bill watched as Albus lowered his face, only then did they sit down. Amelia did call a house elf to bring some tea. Apart from that, they never spoke, they knew the portraits were listening even if they looked like they were asleep. This information could not go past this room.

Bill was reading a book, Amelia was studying some of the strange instruments in the office and Alastor was looking around at everything. That's how they stayed for the next couple of hours, without a sound coming from any of them.

They watched as Albus seemed to be in a daze as he moved slowly to his seat behind the desk.

'As you just saw, thanks to Bill, we are finally rid of Voldemort, for good.'

'I have only just begun to research. How did you know what to look for Bill?'

'It's part of what I studied while learning to become a curse breaker. There are books that are only available to people like me. The moment mum and dad explained everything, I found everything I needed to finish this within a couple of hours.'

'I am not so sure that is true,' Albus sighed.

'Albus, you saw the ritual so how can you say that?' Amelia asked.

Albus sagged, 'There is a prophecy, about Voldemort and Harry. Only Harry can vanquish him.'

'When was this prophecy made?' Alastor asked.

'It was made to me by the seer a few months before Harry was born. I told Lily and James, along with another family. Their son could have been the boy as two of the clues could have easily pointed to either boy. The prophecy had Voldemort's name on it along with mine, the seer's and a question mark, until that night when Voldemort went after Harry. Only then was his name added.'

'Which could mean that it was also fulfilled that night. If it says vanquish, Harry did that.' Amelia said.

'That is one of the things I have been trying to figure out. But part of the prophecy said that one has to die by the hand of the other, die. He did not die that night, that is why I am not sure it was fulfilled.'

'He would have died if he did not have those vessels. He went against magic by using that to keep him alive. You cannot stop death, nothing will stop death. Death will always win. All he did was delay the inevitable,' Alastor said.

'So there is a chance that the prophecy was fulfilled?' Albus asked in a hopeful voice.

'Yes, also, think of this. Die by his hand, Harry allowed Bill to remove the piece from his scar so in a way, Bill was doing what Harry told him to do. Bill was his hand. It did not have to literally mean Harry's hand. Harry could tell you to do it and it would satisfy the prophecy,' Amelia said.

'I sometimes take things to literally. I began to think of the first part of the prophecy. It says born to those that have thrice defied him. Lily and James did fight Voldemort three times and escape. The other couple also fought him three times and escape. I believed it meant they literally defied him three times.'

'What else would it be?' Bill asked.

'People like those pure-bloods that follow him do not believe muggleborns should be in our world. There are some who believe they are a lower life form, like a house elf. Could defying him mean a muggleborn using magic, a muggleborn fighting against pure-blood's. A muggleborn who married a man from a very old pure-blood family. Could that be defying him? If that is right then it would mean the prophecy did not mean Harry since James and Lily defied him more than three times.'

'You could be right. We know how they think of muggleborns. From everything we know, Lily Evans was one of the best students to ever graduate from Hogwarts. They would definitely hate that a muggleborn was more powerful than they were,' Amelia said.

'Yes, so you see, it could be interpreted differently, which could mean Harry was never meant to be the boy from the prophecy. His name was added after he received the scar, so he is now linked to that prophecy.'

'Is there a way we can find out if the prophecy was fulfilled?' Bill asked.

'The only way to find out for sure is if the person who's name is on the prophecy took it from the shelf. The smoke inside the orb will either stay the same, meaning it has not be fulfilled, or it turns black, which means it has been fulfilled. The only other way is if the head of the hall of prophecy takes it. Normally they do not touch the prophecies after they have been put on the shelf. I always hoped Harry could be a lot older before he found out. After what happened in the chamber of secrets, I realised Voldemort was trying to return so Harry would have to know sooner.'

'Let me speak with the head of the hall of prophecies. I'm sure he realises that a twelve, almost thirteen year old boy could end up traumatised if he heard he is supposed to kill,' Amelia said, 'If he does not want to take it, then we will have to speak with Harry about it. But now onto something else Albus. Lucius Malfoy and why you told Harry that there was nothing anyone could do after he tried to kill Harry.'

Albus sighed, 'I hoped Lucius would realise just how close it is of him ending up in Azkaban, which could destroy his family. If he believed his son could end up ostracised, it could show him that he needs to change his ways. It was different back then, but he has a child now.'

'A child he is teaching that pure-blood's are better than everyone else. He has not been a good influence on his son. That does not matter anymore, we arrested Lucius earlier today. He will face the Wizengamot and I now have enough proof of his crimes that I can use veritaserum during his trial. We plan to use courtroom three so no one will be able to discuss what they hear at the trail. We want to make sure Harry is not targeted by people who support Malfoy. Once he is found guilty, I will be asking for compensation for all his victims, which include Harry and Ginny Weasley. Once I get the details of his victims, which I believe will be quite a lot, I doubt the Malfoy family will have anything left. It time, him and the other death eaters finally pay for their crimes. Lucius is going to be the start of their downfall. You should work with the staff so they know that some of their children might begin to cause problems.'

'We have already begun to work on new rules for the students. I let Severus go since he was part of the problem. He allowed his Slytherin's to get away with all the trouble they caused.'

'He should never have been allowed here in the first place. It does not matter that he turned spy for you Albus, that man should have done some time in Azkaban,' Alastor said.

'From the things Susan told me, it made me believe he was still dark. He supported all the children of dark families and was very hard on all the children of light families,' Amelia said, 'Since you did get him off, I can't do anything about him, unless he commits another crime. I am just pleased he is no longer able to influence children.'

Albus might not have believed Severus had lied and used him, but it seems everyone else did. He had begun to question himself a lot and one thing that kept invading his thoughts. It might be time to retire as headmaster. He would stay at chief warlock so he could help Amelia convict those that should have been punished.

It only took a few days but Amelia was able to get proof that the prophecy had been fulfilled, which happened the night Harry got his scar. Now Albus, Amelia, Alastor and Bill knew that Harry would never need to know the truth but if he asked, when he was older, they can tell him the reason why his parents had died. They hoped Harry never asked.

Molly and Arthur noticed that Harry seemed to be more relaxed than he used to be. They also noticed he talked more. They believed Harry was finally feeling like he had a real home along with a new family. They might not have known Harry for long but they were already beginning to think of him as family. Now they were just pleased that they were able to help him, but also help save the world from another war with Voldemort. All it took was for Arthur to ask some questions and to speak with Bill, his oldest son. Arthur never expected to hear half of what two of his children and Harry told him. He had also been shocked at what Bill said but to hear it could be fixed, that was when Arthur finally realised this could give everyone a decent and safe life.

They were finally rid of Voldemort, for good. The Weasley family had another child and Harry would finally feel like he was where he belongs.

The end:
