A/n mwahahahaha I am soooo evil… two cliff-hangers in a row… wow… anyway thanks for everyone who's reviewed, I got a couple of really decent ones… anyway I'm sorry I'm not gonna be able to update as soon as I used to, because of the evil things invented by the board of governors in the 18th century… called "Exams". Yeah they start on the 26th and I'll be too busy revising… anyway On with the fanfic… this chapters gonna have mainly action, and be an explanation. Infact I doubt I'll put much romance in for a while… PS I STILL NEED A BETA!!

Chapter 6: Why?

"Well Harry, I think I should tell you everything that happened from the begging until the just an hour ago." Dumbledore said, the twinkle gone from his eye, it was replaced with a tear.

"Well to start, 48 hours ago Voldemort had planned an attack, a diversionary attack. He sent not more than 5 death eaters to attack Saint Mungos. This was a tactic used to lure the Order members away from their posts around the Weasly house. It worked. Like a fool, I didn't think to have some of the members go, I sent them all. Thusly leaving the house unguarded. At around 10PM yesterday, Voldemort launched the biggest attack since 1970 something. He had death eaters, dementors, giants, and God knows what other dark creatures. At approximately 10:15 pm you were brought here along with Ron via portkey. An hour ago the death eaters retreated." Dumbledore explained to Harry.

"Who died?" asked Harry afraid of the answer.

Dumbledore sighed, "Some 20 order members are dead. Also at least 5 underage wizards/witches were killed. And of course Lord knows how many muggles. However there were only 2 wizards who were of age but not order members. They were Fred and George Weasly." Dumbledore whispered the names, and Harry felt his stomach drop to his feet.

"Which Order members died?" Harry asked.

"We know of the death of Kingsley Shacklebolt, Elphias Doge, Hesita Jones, (A/n so far all these people were taken from OOTP, chapter 3 "the advance guard" and I didn't want to kill them all so I'm going to make up a few names or take names of wizards who aren't in the order) Vincent Prewett and Emily Barns. Amongst those injured are Nymphadora Tonks, Remus Lupin, Alastor Moody, Molly and Arthur Weasly, Minerva Mcgonagall, Severus Snape and various other members that you do not know."

"Proffessor, Are any 6th year gryffindors injured or killed?"

"Ginny Weasly and Hermione Granger were injured as they Were leaving the scene. (A/n I'm gonna make it so that some students were visiting relatives who lived near the Weaslys.) And Seamus Finnigan who was visiting his grandmother, Dean Thomas, Parvati Patil and Lavender Brown, who were staying with Seamus over the summer Were either injured or killed. I belive Mr. Thomas died trying to save miss Brown." Harry remembered that Parvati who was Seamus' cousin (A/n meh I felt like screwing with the family tree), and Lavender was Deans girlfriend, were staying with Seamus over the summer because his mother was in hospital.

"I regret to say that Luna Lovegood lost her father in the attack, and Mrs. Finnigan who was in St. Mungo's was killed in that attack."

"Professor, why? Why did Voldemort do this?" Harry asked, but he had a feeling he knew the answer.

"Because Harry, he knew you were staying with the Weaslys, and wanted to get to you. He had anticipated that I put Order members around the house to guard it. So he sent an attack on St. Mungo's to lure them away.

We will have Luna, Seamus and Lavender spent the remainder of summer with you at Hogwarts. Those who were not killed are currently in the hospital wing, along with the survivors of the St. Mungos incident. St. Mungos hospital was destroyed and is in no condition to keep the wounded. Ronald Weasly is also at the hospital wing. As are Hermione and Ginny. Now if you excuse me I must pay them a visit. Dobby will be looking after you for now. As soon as you have enough strength I want you to go directly to Gryffindor common room."

As soon as Dumbledore left, Harry lay down.

(A/n I'm making 2 chapters in one, think of this next bit as chapter 6 and a half)

In the hospital wing.

Madame Pomfrey was fluttering around the patients, thankful for the help of the remaining St. Mungo's healers. "We've lost another one!" One of the healers yelled, looking at the young muggle boy.

"Curse Him, may he suffer in hell for this!" Madame Pomfrey said. Suddenly the doors swept open and in came Professor Dumbledore.

"How many have we lost?" he asked.

"2 muggles and a member." She replied looking grim. Suddenly three moans were heard as Ron, Ginny and Hermione woke up.

"Ah, good you're awake, Poppy may you please escort them to the Gryffindor common room? The fat lady has been told to let anyone escorted by a house elf or healer in."

"Very well Albus, come along you three." She said taking them out to the 7th floor. In the common room they found the sleeping form of Harry being cared to by Dobby.

A/n Well that's done………………… I still need a beta……… meh im sorry if it came crappy my keyboards all jammedup… plus im gotta have my comp reformatted…
