"Harry? Harry? Wake up Harry!"
"Wha- I'm awake, I'm awake," he said and promptly rolled out of the bed onto the floor.
Ron started laughing.
"Oh shut up Ron," He groaned.
"Mum told me to wake you if you planned on eating breakfast. We're having pancakes." His eyes lit up at the thought. Within minutes both boys were downstairs.
"Well that's a surprise, Ron being the first on down for breakfast," teased Bill. The whole table laughed good-naturedly.
"Hmmm...,"mumbled Mr. Weasley as he opened some sort of muggle newspaper.
He looked up and saw nine pairs of eyes peering at him.
"Arthur, dear, what's hmmm," Mrs. Weasley asked.
Mr. Weasley looked around the table and sighed. "Well as you're all old enough to know. According to this muggle newspaper there has been an attack.
Gasps were heard across the room.
"Well, read it did," Charlie demanded impatiently.
"It says here that Mr. and Mrs. Johnson were found dead in bed. As in all the other cases found so far the victims seem to have been petrified in fear. Their daughter Angelina was reported missing. Her room, however, looked ransacked." Mr. Weasley paused. "Angelina Johnson, where have I heard that name before?" He whispered."
Harry froze. Next to him, he heard Fred choking on his pancakes.
"Fred, Fred what is the matter?" Mrs. Weasley cried as she handed him a glass of orange juice. As he calmed down he asked," Are you sure that's Angelina Johnson?"
"Yes, positive, why?" Mr. Weasley replied.
Both Fred and George's eyes grew wide.
"Angelina's a witch they cried simultaneously.
"She the best chaser on the Gryffindor team and the same year as Fred and George." Ron added.
"Where did the attack take place, father," Percy asked in an authoritative voice.
Mr. Weasley flipped to the head page," According to this in America."
"Yes, that's definitely Angie. She and her parents went on vacation there."
There was a moment of silence during which Harry gave looks to Ron and Hermione, hoping that they got the hint. They both nodded in silent agreement.
"Well, I suppose we should wait for the Daily Prophet for more info on Angelina," Mrs. Weasley said visibly shaken. With that the kitchen resumed its usual busyness.
Percy and Bill had to leave for work. (They would receive their papers there.)
Charlie and Mr. Weasley were on vacation. Soon after that they heard a knock at the window.
"Talk about perfect timing," muttered Charlie.
He paid the owl for its delivery.
"Hey!" he exclaimed. "This does have information on the attacks."
Immediately there was a stampede to the parlor.
"According to this, Angelina was found by Dumbledore."
"Thank Goodness!" Fred said in relief. Everyone stared and he blushed. ("What! She's a friend of mine)
"Anyway, moving on, Angelina is still in critical care at St. Mungo's. It appears that she was put through the Cruciatus Curse. (Everyone winced.) What is to be understood of the incident has yet to be determined," Charlie finished. "I have to talk to both of you now," Harry whispered. Louder he said"umm...Mrs.Weasley, would it be okay for the three of us to go for a walk?
"Wha- I'm awake, I'm awake," he said and promptly rolled out of the bed onto the floor.
Ron started laughing.
