Harry Potter
and the destruction of the horcruxes.
Harry Potter belongs to Warner Bros, Scholastic, Bloomsbury, Heyday/1498 films, JK Rowling and Raincoat books. I don't lay any claim to it.
Chapter 1; The journey begins
Harry looked at Ginny, Ron and Hermione: Ron's face was screwed up as though the sunlight was blinding him. Hermione's face was glazed with tears. He heard Ginny sob and he put his arms around her to comfort her. She buried her face in his chest and cried. When they walked back to the castle they were halted by Rufus Scrimgeour 'Harry may I have a word with you ?' Harry simply replied 'no' and walked on. 'Listen guys I need to tell you something, I'm not coming back to Hogwarts.' Ron gaped at him, but Hermione said sadly, 'I knew you were going to say that. But then what will you do?' 'I'm going back to the Dursleys' once more, because Dumbledore wanted me to,' said Harry. 'But it'llbe a short visit, and then I'll be gone for good.' 'But where will you go if you don't come back to school?' 'I thought I might go back to Godric's Hollow to visit my parent's grave then I'm gonna find and destroy those horcruxes and eventually try to kill Voldemort'. 'We'll be there, Harry' said Ron. 'What?' 'At your aunt and uncle's house,' said Ron. 'And then we'll go with you, wherever you're going.' 'No –' said Harry quikly; he had not counted on this, he had meant them to understand that he was undertaking this most dangerous journey alone. 'You said us once before,' said Hermione quietly, 'that there was time to turn back if we wanted to. We've had time, haven't we?' We're with you whatever happens,' said Ron 'I'm coming to Harry' said Ginny 'what no not you I can't lose you' 'and I can't live without you Harry' she hugged him and he held her in his arms. 'But, mate, you're going to have to come round my mum and dad's house before we do anything else, even Godric's Hollow.' 'Why?' 'Bill and Fleur's wedding remember?' 'Yeah, we shouldn't miss that,' he laid his arm around Ginny and they walked back to the castle unaware of what lies ahead.
The train was slowing down, as they passed the last corner the dimly lighted station came in sight. Mr and Mrs Weasley were waiting, Mrs Weasley was waving at them as they stepped out of the train for what might be the last time. She pulled them all in to a tight hug and kissed them all on the cheek 'oh Harry are you alright y'know with what happened that night on the tower and all' 'i'm fine Molly thanks' harry replied. 'Listen there's something the four of us need to do we'll be home by tomorrow' 'what- where are you going?' she asked 'we'll explain when we get back'. With a wave of his wand Harry sent their belongings to the Burrow they all held on tight to Hermiones arm (because she was the only one allowed to apparate) and they were of to privet drive number 4.
Harry sighed and knocked on the door they heard his uncle Vernon muttering 'who the hell could that be at this late hour this had better be important.' He opened the door and looked at the four young wizards on his doorstep and said 'oh its you.' He turned his back to harry and went up the stairs he went into his bedroom and slammed the door shut. They entered the house Ron closed the door they heard his aunt's voice coming from the living room 'hello Harry I've been expecting you'. Harry was puzzled since when did his aunt call him by his first name? 'Sit down we need to talk' they sat down on the couch, on the coffee table in the middle of the room was a box marked "Harry Potter". 'In that box Harry, are some personal items that belonged to your parents Dumbledore told me to give it to you' Harry took the box and opened it inside was an envelope containing a letter from Dumbledore, two wands and a photo-album. Harry opned the letter Ginny, Ron and Hermione moved closer so they could read it to.
Dear Harry,
If you are reading this I'm already dead because I wanted to give you these my self. The wands Harry as you might have guessed belonged to your parents along with the photo-album these are the only items Hagrid managed to rescue from the fire that was destroying the house at Godric's Hollow.
I'm very sorry that I can not help you to find the remaining Horcruxes or to kill Voldemort but do not forget Harry you have the power to love it is the only thing he fears use it to your advantage. And never forget you have fantastic, loyal friends who love you and would do anything for you, the road is long and dangerous Harry but you must not undertake your journey alone.
Yours sincerely,
Albus Dumbledore.
Harry stared at the letter blankly a single tear ran down his face he felt a small hand wipe it away. He looked up and his emerald eyes met Ginny's hazel ones, 'it'll be alright it wasn't your fault' she gave him a hug. He slowly took out the smallest wand, his mother's wand he looked at it for a while and then put it down on the coffee table and took out the other wand. Harry felt astrange sensation in his fingertips that slowly spread trough his arms, it was like when he bought his first wand at olivanders but stronger and much more intenser. Puzzled he layed the wand down next to his mother's, next he opened the album wich contained lots of pictures of his parents and some of Harry as a baby. Ginny put her arm around him, it meant the world for Harry that his two best friends and his girlfriend were there to support him and help him especially Ginny who had come to mean so much for him in so little time.
