CHAPTER 3

Harry had the best sleep he could ever remember, all because of Ginny. He had time of his life at the reception, because he was with a person that he loved and loved him as much as he loved her. But Harry realized that today was the day that he had to tell his friends, and their family he was to return to the Dursleys, and it was also time to tell Mr. and Mrs. Weasley the plans for Hogwarts or more appropriate, their plans not for Hogwarts.

Harry walked down the stairs to find every single person of the Weasley family there (excluded the newlyweds who where honeymooning in Australia), and Moony, Tonks, and Mad eye who where insisted to stay by Mrs. Weasley as they where there to the early hours of the morning. Harry glanced at Remus and Tonks holding hands, they where finally open about their relationship, they where in love. He saw Ginny smiling at him boy did he love her.

"Morning Harry", Harry didn't respond he only walked to the head of the table and said. "I'm returning to the Dursleys later today, I made a promise to Dumbledore that I would until my birthday".

"Well I guess that's alright, that's only another 2 weeks away, and a promise, is a promise, now sit down and eat". Said Mrs. Weasley being very understanding. But Harry didn't sit down. "I'm also not going Hogwarts"

"Now, don't be silly Harry, Hogwarts will reopen, I'm sure"

"Mrs. Weasley I'm not going, even if it does reopen". Just as Harry had finished Ron and Hermione jumped up and said "either are we". Mrs. Weasley was shocked, but what shocked every one even Harry, Ron and Hermione was when Ginny stood up and said "me either". Harry looked at Ginny mouth open. "First of all Ginny, don't even think about it, and secondly Harry, why aren't you returning. This isn't about you –know- who, is it. Just because Dumbledore has gone doesn't mean the Order of Phoenix won't defeat him."

"Either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives. The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies.'". Every one looked shocked. It was Remus the first to speak, "That's the prophecy isn't it".

"Yeah it is so I don't have a choice, well actually, I was given a choice by Dumbledore, but I chose to fight. Even if I don't survive, just as long as I knew that every one I cared about got to live a safe life and to experience love. Every one in this room deserves the chance to grow old, the chance to find love and to watch their children grow up, marry, and then watch your grandchildren grow up. It's not fair that we have to live scared, and I'm the only person who can put a stop to all this suffering. I 'm not saying I'm going to come out on top, but I have an advantage I know what love is". He said this as he faced Ginny. "Voldermort never had that, the love from parents, love from friends he never had it. I know why he is fighting for a life without it, because he doesn't understand what it it, what it feels like to be loved by family, to be looked after, to think that the world is at peace, just because you are with a special person. I have to fight!". Turning to Mrs. Weasley pleading his case."I have a mission to complete before I can take Voldemort down, and Mrs. Weasley with your blessing, I need Ron and Hermione"

Harry looked at all the people in the room they where full of tears, even the Weasley men. Though tears Mrs. Weasley said, "It's not like I could of stopped you anyway, your all of age, but you have my blessing".

"Thankyou" and Harry walked back to his bedroom.

Once in his bedroom, Harry locked the door and Harry broke down. He began to violently sop, he couldn't stop the tears. He thought to himself, "I have never cried like this, I don't think I have ever cried". And through this revelation he knew what he was doing. He was mourning, mourning for Dumbledore, for Sirius, for Cedric Diggory and for his parents. With happy thoughts of all these people Harry fell into a deep slumber.

Harry woke to find Ron and Hermione in his room.
"Hey guys."
Hermione, jumped of her seat and began to hug Harry. "Oh Harry your awake. You know exactly what to say."
"What do you mean?I just told the truth."
"Harry everyone who was down there sat for hours speechless. You have put everything in prespective. You have shown to everyone that there is a reason to fight. And not only that every one is so impressed on how grown up you are and how well your taking everything..."
Harry abit ashamed stopped Hermione. "Well thats not true, I spent the first half hour in my room crying." Harry proud of what great friends he had, by them only showing concern and not laughing in his face, went on. "I havn't mourned for any of the deaths that i have experienced. I have been here pretending that i'm stong that i can take this. But i can't,I hate that this has happened to me, but I guess if it had happened to anyone else they probably would of died in their first year. But these deaths only make me more determined to finish him off." Hermione began to cry again, muttering somthing about 'being so impressed, and proud'. Harry faced Ron, Ron only just shrugged his shoulders. Harry forced Hermione off his shoulder, "Hermione, Ron, we have got to get things started..."

Harry was outside with the rest of the Weasleys, Remus and Tonks (Mad Eye Moody had returned to the minstry), waiting for the Minisrty car to pull up. As it pulled up everyone began to hug Harry, whispering encouragement into his ear.Harry had never felt so loved in all his life. "Guy'sI will be back in two weeks, I'm not leaving yet". Everyone laughed half hearterly. He kissed Ginny softly and jumped in the car. As it pulled away he waved back. Harry was sad that he was having to return to the Dursley's but he hoped it would go fast.

Before he left, he had spoken to Ron and Hermione, of all the things they had to research before they could start there search for horcruxes.Wellthey had to begin some where. Hermione and Ron would do most of the research, as they had more access, unlike Harry. But Harry couldn't do much, but he would be doing alot of reading, thatnks to Hermione. Hermione had informed Harry, that she would be sending a large assortment of books on advanced defence spells, charms and fighting. Harry was thankfull, but thought it usless seeing as he could not yet prectice them due to being underage, but atlease reading them would get him started.Harry began to think of Ginny but his thoughts quickly disapeared as he saw the Dursleys house in sight. Harry got out of the car, breathing in deeply opened the door and walked in.
