Chapter 2
How can you tell them?
February 17, 2007 1936 ZULU
Seven hours had passed since the bombing and everyone in the Wizarding world had heard the news. The Minister and at least sixty percent of the Ministry dead due to a massive explosion in the Ministry of Magic building. Harry didn't care what everybody was hearing he was more concerned with his family which had suffered a massive tragedy now. His Father and Brother in Law were dead. He had lost the best friends he had ever had and the man who made him feel like a son for so long.
It was a sad and very dubious duty to hold to have to tell the family of the deceased that their family members were now dead because of what someone had done. Harry ordered the rest of the remaining Auror Squad to continue digging through the rubble and try to fine survivors, but that was even mostly hopeless. Harry knew that he had the horror of telling his family that two members were dead and would now be responsible for two children that he would have hoped would grow up with their parents but now that was lost.
Harry apperated into the front yard of the Burrow. His wife was already there comforting her mother and brothers who were still in shock by the disaster that had befallen the family. Harry had to put on his most professional face on, for he was designated to give the news to the Weasley's and since this was official Ministry business he had to remain stoic and solemn in this duty.
Harry knocked on the door and waited there for it to opened. His wife Ginny Potter opened the door and knew immediately was this was about. She led Harry to the living room where the family assembled.
"To the Weasley Family of Ottery St. Catchpole it is my sad duty to report to you that Minister of Magic Arthur David Weasley and Auror Lt. Commander Ronald Barnabas Weasley and Auror Lt. Commander Hermione Allison Weasley have been killed in the line of duty. The Ministry of Magic gives you their condolences in this time of great grief."
After he had told the family, he collapsed in utter distress. He had not cried all day for his friends and family. He had not been able to show true emotion except for the scream that he had let out after finding Ron's body.
How was he going to tell the family that now the Ron and Mione's kids were going to be cared for by himself and Ginny. This would break Molly's heart, but considering it was Hermiones last request he didnt know hoe she would handle it.
"Molly there is one more thing you need to know."
