Chapter Five

Ginny and Ron rested and had a bite to eat before seeking Bill. They were requested to tell what had happened to them since they had escaped. Bill, Lupin, Fred, George and Hermione were present in the room.

"It doesn't make sense. Why would dementors attack a village?" Bill asked

"This wasn't just a random haunting. They must be looking for something" Lupin commented

"And for someone else too. Dementors aren't smart enough to have come up with a plan to bring down the front gate, especially one as powerful as McGonagalls" Hermione added

"Do you think this could have anything to do with Sirius returning?"

"I would imagine so. It's too much of a coincidence not to be"

"What do you think they are looking for?"

"My personal opinion is that they are looking for a weapon. This would either be to possibly bring Voldemort back into full power or destroy the whole world"

"This would make a lot of sense; after all we all know the ministry is no longer safe to hide such a weapon. McGonagall is well experienced in magic and I wouldn't be surprised if Dumbledore had intrusted her with such an item to be under her protection"

"Bill?"

"Yes Ginny"

"You said a weapon, right? Before Dad died he said something... umm... the power is... Ron what did he say?"

"Dad said 'the power is within all of us if we look hard enough"

"As did Dumbledore on the night before his death" Lupin added

"You think this is a clue?"

"I would imagine that they would have told us for a reason"

"Dad's journals!" Fred laughed

"Of course! Dad would have told us all in there!" George added

"Dad didn't keep a journal" Ron added

"He did after Sirius died - I suspect that he never truly believed that Voldemort wouldn't return"

"It's a shame that we don't have them though" Fred sighed

"On the contrary - when Dad died McGonagall gave them to me. She said I might enjoy reading them some day. I never even thought of them until now. I hid them in a room. It's not far from here" Bill explained "Hermione best if you go. It is likely Dad wrote them in code so if the enemy ever got hold of them they wouldn't be able to get to it. Ron you can go with her too"

Hermione and Ron nodded and left the room.
