"I can't do it without Dumbledore" Harry cried. "On the contrary Harry you have to." came a voice. Harry lifted his head. "Sirius?"
"Sirius?" Harry, Hermione and Ron all stood silently as Sirius's jubilant voice echoed through the common room "Yes Harry it's me." "But how?" the three friends all said as one. "The mirror Harry have you forgotten about the mirror i gave you?" Sirius replied. Hermione and Ron stood silently as Harry ran and fetched the mirror from the bottom of his trunk and pulled it out to reveal the cracked mirror with what appeared to be Sirius's smiling face. Hermione rapidly said "Reparo" and the mirror was once again whole. Sirius smiled even more as questions poured from their mouths. "Easy calm down, just listen for a moment." Sirius spoke. "When I fell through the veil I felt incredible pain yet somehow, I survived. I do not know how, all I know is that I am in the land of the dead." Sirius explained. "But how can you still be alive but in the land of the dead?" asked Hermione. "We'll talk about that later Hermione but for now I have someone who wants to see Harry." With that said Sirius disappeared from the mirror to be replaced with another face which at first was unrecognisable. Then, tentatively, Harry said "Dad?". At this the face in the mirror broke into a smile and said with tears in his eyes, "yes son it's me, your father." James' image was joined by the image of Harry's mother, Lily. Harry burst into tears and was soon joined by his parents. Through their tears James and Lily managed to say, "We're so proud of you son." Harry was about to say something when James spoke, "There is someone else here to see you Harry." Harry, Ron and Hermione gasped as a familiar face appeared in the mirror. "Hello Harry it is good to see you again" spoke the friendly face. "Is it really you?" Harry stammered. The old man's eyes twinkled as he softly chuckled and said "Yes Harry, it's me"
Meanwhile, Lord Voldemort and his followers, the Death Eaters, were gathered in a graveyard far from prying eyes. The Death Eaters were formed in a circle, amidst this circle strolled Lord Voldemort. Orders issued from his mouth. "Macnair i want you to go back to the Ministry of Magic and tell me what they plan to do, Draco Malfoy i want you to go back to Hogwarts and report to me on the teachers reactions and what they plan to do." "My lord all the other students know that I was the one who" Malfoy spoke. "Silence. You will find a way. Do not displease me Draco." Lord Voldemort interupted him. Draco bowed his head and merely replied "Yes my lord." Voldemort dismissed them then turned and spoke to Snape. "Walk with me Snape I have a mission of great urgency for you."
Later that day Harry, Hermione and Ron still had their heads bent over the mirror deep in conversation. "So Professor you believe that one of the other horcruxes is hidden somewhere in Godric's Hollow?" Harry inquired. "Yes Harry that is precisely what I think. Long ago Godric Gryffindor founded Godric's Hollow. We know Lord Voldemort has already used Slytherin's locket as a horcrux and I believe he has used relics belonging to the other founders of Hogwarts as horcruxes." The professor explained to Harry. "Professor Dumbledore how about that sword Harry used to destroy the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets, the one that belonged to Godric Gryffindor. Could that be a horcrux?" Hermione asked. "Good try but I've already tried every spell I know on the sword and as far as I can tell the sword is not a horcrux." Answered Dumbledore. "Let's go through what we know so far about the horcruxes." Suggested Dumbledore. "Ok" Harry agreed. "Voldemort has split his soul into seven pieces and put those pieces into horcruxes. Horcrux number one is the diary of Tom Riddle which you destroyed in your second year. Horcrux number two is the ring belonging to Voldemorts grandfather Marvolo which I have destroyed. Horcrux number three is the locket belonging to Salazar Slytherin which is currently in the possession of someone whose initials are R.A.B. Horcrux number four is Hufflepuff's cup I believe which is still out there somewhere. Horcrux number five is most likely Nagini his snake. Horcrux number six is possibly something belonging to Godric Gryffindor or Rowena Ravenclaw, however i believe the sword still hanging in my office is the last remaining relic of Godric Gryffindor. And horcrux number seven is Voldemort himself." "Perhaps if Harry went to a place somehow related to Helga Hufflepuff he might find her cup" Sirius chimed in reminding everybody that he was there. Dumbledore chuckled to himself as he congratulated Sirius on his ingenuity. "Then that's where I shall start" stated Harry very matter-of-factedly. "Now if you don't mind everybody could I have a moment alone with my parents?" said Harry. Everybody else quickly scampered off to talk amongst themselves leaving Harry alone with his parents. There were tears in their eyes as James and Lily told their son how Dumbledore and Sirius has been telling them all about Harry and how proud they are of him. Harry was lost for words as for the first time in his life he spoke to his parents.
