Ron shook his head as he kicked through the rubble of a house that was attacked and burnt to he ground he nigh before. Dean and Seamus were asking muggles questions before Hermione, Ginny, and Angelina preformed memory charms on them and put a different memory in as a substitute. "How could they just kill these poor muggles like this?" he muttered, picking up a teddy bear. Harry shook his head.

"I can't believe this is happening again." He muttered. "We've got to raise our kids through all of what we had to go through." Ron did nothing but shake his head. He looked up at the sky and sighed.

"So, what are we suppose to tell our families. What are we going to tell Fudge?"

"Well its not like we'll be able to hide all this from everyone." Harry informed. Ron scowled a bit as he looked at the battered teddy bear in his hands. "We should get going before the real police come. They'll be wondering who we are after all."

"Yeah, alright." Ron agreed. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Today was the biggest Quiddich mach of the year and it was canceled. I swear, when I find Voldemort's little lackeys, I'll kill him myself." Muttered Chris bitterly. The young aurors in training were siting around the ministry ground waiting for their trainers to come back. Jessica rolled her eyes.

"Yeah right, Chris. When Mr. Weasley had said he was going to send us to the site of he attack you almost wet you pants." Chris scowled, though his face was a bit pink.

"Very funny, Miss Thomas. Pretty brave when your daddy isn't watching your every move."

"What's that suppose to mean?" Jessica asked, standing up and looking up in the boy's face. Everyone was staring at them in shock. John sighed and stood up, nearly towering over both his friends. Jessica turned away from the boys, crossing her arms.

"Really Chris, why do you bother even fighting her?" John asked in annoyance.

"He doesn't think I'll hit him." Informed Jessica.

"That's because you won't!"

"Won't what?" Ron had just arrived with the other adults and was looking intently at the young adults. They all muttered apologies and Ron shook his head. "With the crisis at hand, I prefer you handle personal issues on you own time. It's time we take life more seriously because if you don't, your family could be the next to get murdered by death eaters." Everyone's eyes went wide as hey stared at hem. Harry stepped forward and looked them all over.

"I guess you should know. Twenty-six years ago, Voldemort was killed and all his death eaters that were in he war were taken care of.. Well that's not the case anymore. A few are sill loose and so is Voldemort's heir."

"You mean, he's got a kid heir?" asked TJ curiously.

"That's no for certain, but it's a belief."

"How can a child do that much damage? He'd be considered an underaged wizard if he used his own wand." Said Sharon thoughtfully.

"That's not the problem!" announced Harry, looking very serious. "Who ever it is, he doesn't care about killing children and separating families and I don't need you all acing like a bunch of high school kids. Seventh years." He said, noticing the blank looks on their faces.

"Don' worry dad, just cuz Malfoy bailed on you doesn't mean we will." Said Josh and Harry smiled.

"That's right Mr. Potter!" piped Theodore. "We plan on making history." John saw Ron standing in the back with a grin on his face as Harry smiled brightly at the students. Looks like life was going to be a little more of a struggle now. as if it hadn't already been one.
