AN: Well, even though I received no reviews for chapter one of this story, I've decided to continue. Please read and review!

"It's no use, Ginny!" Percy said, the exasperation showing in his voice. "We have been at this for over a year. Harry is dead and there is nothing that anyone can do to change that fact." He gave his younger sister a pitying look and reached out to stroke her cheek.

Ginny slapped his hand away and looked furiously into his eyes. "You may be a quitter, Percy, but I am not. I will never give up hope! Harry is not dead and one day I will prove it to you. Then you'll have to eat your own stupid words!" Ginny was now yelling so loudly that she had the satisfaction of seeing her brother cower away from her.

"Why don't you just leave, Percy? What are you still doing here if you have given up hope?" She looked over at Ron and Hermione. "We don't need him, do we?"

Hermione looked from Ginny to Ron, completely at a loss. She hated getting involved in the arguments between Ginny and Percy. It was getting harder and harder to remain neutral as the fights became more numerous and nasty.

Ron saw his wife's discomfort and answered Ginny quickly. "You two need to stop arguing. It is Harry we need to be thinking about right now, not our own petty differences." He turned to Percy. "As for you, I will tell you this for the final time. Harry Potter is not dead. Have you forgotten what he has done for our world? Do you really believe that he would allow himself to be killed by some lowlife wizards? We know the reason he was taken: Dumbledore. As long as his captors believe that Harry knows where Dumbledore is hiding, they will keep him alive. He may not be comfortable but he is alive."

Percy looked away from Ron and nodded. "You are right," he said. "Harry deserves more from me than what I have been giving lately. I'm sorry, Ginny. I know what you need right now is support and hope and I have been delinquent. Please forgive me." He moved towards her and offered a hug.

Ginny moved into his arms and took comfort. Ever since her brother had knocked at the Burrow door almost eighteen months ago, he had been a source of comfort and love for her. It had taken her father quite some time to forgive all that Percy had said and done to their family, but he was now back in good standing as a Weasley.

Hermione smiled lovingly at her husband and whispered, "I'm so proud of how you handled that. You have grown so much during the past year, I'm not sure Harry will recognize you when we find him. I love you so much." She moved closer to Ron and kissed him tenderly on the cheek.

Ginny broke away from Percy and turned back to the board they had erected in the kitchen. The board was covered in photographs, maps and scribbled notes. They had pinned up every scrap of evidence, every lead they had gathered since Harry's disappearance. As Ginny looked at all their work she had to admit that they were no closer to finding him than they were a year ago.

She shook that thought out of her mind and turned away from the board. "I want to go back to that interview with the next door neighbor. Hermione, you were the one who talked to her. Can you tell me again what you heard?"

Although she had told Ginny the woman's story many times, Hermione patiently recounted the interview once again. "Well, she said she woke up early that morning to feed her dog and was startled by a loud crack from the hallway. She rushed to the door and opened it just enough so that she could look out. In the hallway, she could see three figures in dark cloaks walking quietly towards your flat door. She was too afraid to say anything and frankly it's a good thing she didn't. The three proceeded into your flat and closed the door quietly.

"She says that she didn't hear another sound until the shouting started. The only coherent phrase she could make out was "It's you!" before another loud crack sounded. After that, all she could hear were your screams and then the rescue team that came to get you out." Hermione finished recounting the woman's story and asked, "What are you hoping to get from hearing the interview again?"

Ginny thought hard. "Well, we've already made the assumption that Harry knew at least one of the three people that kidnapped him. We've made list after list of possible suspects and investigated them all thoroughly. We've come up with nothing and that seems so impossible. We all know everyone that Harry knows. How could we be missing someone? Are we leaving out a suspect because we just can't believe they would do this to Harry? I think we need to widen our search to include Harry's friends as well as his enemies. What do you all think?"

Ron nodded his agreement. "Let's make another list of people we skipped over during the initial pass. This time we can't even leave ourselves off the list." With that, the four went to work.
