"I can't believe we aren't going back." Harry sighed as he sat there in the burrow with his best friends and his girlfriend. Ginny with her hands entwined in his, squeezed it feeling of his pain as though it were her own.
"I feel you mate." Ron said as Hermione sat down on his lap.
"Just look at it this way," Hermione paused, "We get to help the world so it still has Hogwarts or go back and let it be destroyed, either way it is kind of a lose lose situation."
"Thanks for the cheerful thoughts Hermione." Harry said with a rather sulky look on his face.
Harry started thinking of the school year he would miss, the quidditch games he couldn't play in the feasts he would miss and most of all, the halls that Dumbledore once walked in. He was going to miss the feeling of walking through the entrance doors and looking at all the scared first years that would be asking him for his autograph. The laughs he wouldn't be able to have with all of his friends. His thoughts were interrupted by a very frightened Mrs. Weasley.
"Kids… we need to leave, right now." Mrs. Weasley managed to get out though her words were a little rambled.
"Wha… What's happening?" Ron said with a startled look on his face when he saw how pale his mom's face was going.
"Well, the death eaters have… have gotten your father." Molly squeaked out before she burst into tears.
Hermione and Ginny got right up to comfort her but she was already in the kitchen so they followed her. Ron and Harry were up in a heart beat searching frantically for a reason not to panic but couldn't possibly find one. In s moments notice they were off to the ministry.
"I need to know where he is," sobbed Molly, "you can't possibly leave him out there, you're not even looking for him!"
Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny stood behind the enraged Mrs. Weasley, everyone holding hands while trying to hold back tears stinging their eyes and creating a lump in their throats.
"Mum, they will find him it will be alright." Ginny said while the tears started coming down her own face to match her mother's.
Harry encircled her in his arms and she cried on his shoulder while Ron and Hermione stood holding onto a shaken Mrs. Weasley.
"How did they get him?" said Ron trying to hide the tears streaming down his face. Hermione slipped her hand in his and squeezed it to show him she cared. He looked at her own tear streaked face and wiped away a stray tear.
"Harry dear, will you take Ginny to the leaky cauldron, she is crying her eyes out and she needs to rest." said a teary Mrs. Weasley.
"Yes Mrs. Weasley, uh Molly, Mum." Harry stuttered.
