Ty looked up at them with tears in his eyes.
"Dumbledore is ready for us to come home I guess." Ty said as he picked up his dead brother in his arms. Tonks, Remus, and Mr. Weasley all watched as he approached them. Mr. Weasley whistled very loud and the Ice Phoenix appeared.
"Harry…you left your bird in your room. When it turned morning your uncle and Aunt had a heart attack when they saw the bird in there kitchen eating out of their fridge. You need to keep Quinn close. He is an ancient bird and very smart. You will have a couple days brake so you can come to the burrow with us." Mr. Weasley said as the bird landed by them. He was about the half the size of a Hippogriff But had a giant wing span. Mr. Weasley touched the birds back and put out his hand. Remus touched in and soon everyone was in a chain of hands and Harry felt the tug behind the navel and he was off.
Harry and the others landed in front of the Burrow. The sun was starting to rise as they walked up to the front of the house. Mrs. Weasley was in the living room staring at the old clock that was slowly moving three of the spoons to where the rest where. Home.
"Molly where back…" Mr. Weasley said as he entered the door. He looked back and saw Ty still holding Ray's dead body. Mr. Weasley sighed and walked over to him. They talked for a while before they both apparated. Harry shrugged and walked in. The whole Weasley family was there. Ron and Ginny were under Mrs. Weasley's arms as she was reaching for the other kids. After they calmed Mrs. Weasley down they had breakfast.
"Now what happened?" Fred asked. He was sitting on Harry's left.
"Yeah, did you kill any body?" George asked sitting on Harry's right. Harry nodded and filled his plate up with some eggs and sausage. George's eyes lit up.
"Well what all happened?" Both twins said at the same time. Harry looked at the others and sighed. He told them the story about Dolohov and the giants. Neville took over for awhile and then Hermione and Ron started in on the final battle. Then Ginny and Jenny finished it up with telling them about Ty fighting his own brother. The whole Weasley family was speechless.
"You know that you were only gone for about three hours." Bill said looking at his watch. At that moment Ty walked in with Mr. Weasley. Harry looked at everyone. They were still in there blood stained armor.
"We should really change." Harry said getting up from the table. Just then Dumbledore walked in. He was caring a small box with him that looked like the same one that Harry used before.
"I hate to be the barrier of bad news, but that is the only news that I have for now. We need you guys to leave as soon as possible." Dumbledore said as he walked next to a sobbing Mrs. Weasley. He placed a hand on her back and looked back up at the group of eight.
"Why…we got the dumb dagger I thought we were done." Ron said. Ron's shoulder was still bleeding but he didn't mind. Dumbledore pointed his wand at Ron's shoulder and muttered a charm and his shoulder was fine.
"We need you to get to Southern China and take this ancient sword from the Dark Army…there using it's power to destroy villages by creating huge waves of fire and incinerating them. Come with me you will need new armor and new weapons." Dumbledore said as he walked out to the living room. The eight followed him each looking a mixture of sad but anxious. Dumbledore stopped in the middle of the room and took out his wand. He started to speak a language that Harry didn't know and was drawing a giant circle in the air. As he did that a circle he was drawing glowed and it turned into a door. He opened it and walked in. Harry walked up to the door and looked in. It was completely different from the living room. The walls were all white with saying in a weird language that Harry didn't know.
"Welcome to my private armory. Take off the armor and place it over there in the corner and come to me once your done." Dumbledore said as he turned and pointed his wand to the wall. The spun from the bottom to the top reveling hundreds of swords, spears, and bows. Harry and the others quickly got undressed and walked over to Dumbledore in there under robes. Dumbledore told them to get in line and come to him one at a time.
"Harry you first." Dumbledore said as Harry approached him. Dumbledore studied him for a minute then reached over to the wall and pulled down a pair of a weird sword.
"This is the Sword of Light…it is very powerful." Dumbledore said as he gave the large Tia Chi sword to Harry. Harry looked at it. It was about forty inches long and had a very wide blade. Where the blade meet the handle was a design that resembled a Phoenix. The blade was looked like solid fire growing out of his handle with the wave going all the way to the tip.
Ron was next as Dumbledore reached up high and grabbed Twin Battle axes. He handed them to Ron who grabbed them eagerly and walked over to Harry. Harry looked at the axes which were both double bladed and had short handles. Harry looked up at Neville who got twin nine ring broad swords. Hermione walked up next and Dumbledore smiled.
"Here you go…this will be just fine for you." He said and gave her Twin Hook swords. They were smaller than a samurai sword but a lot lighter. They were about twenty inches long and curved at the tip back to her. On the hand guards it had spikes that would serve well if she had to punch some one. She smiled and walked over to the group who was all looking at there weapons. Jenny walked up to Dumbledore next.
"Here you go…" he said and gave her a Butterfly Swords. They were really short but looked very sharp. Ginny walked up and Dumbledore smiled at her.
"For you…you will have this weapon." Dumbledore said as he handed her a curvy white staff that had a bright blue ball. The blue ball was wrapped by the staff at the very top. Like an ancient club but a lot nicer.
"Now Luna you should have this." Dumbledore said as he handed her a Lion Headed Sword. She nodded and walked to the group. Ty went up last.
"Harry come here for a second." Dumbledore said. Harry walked over to Ty and Dumbledore.
"Yes." Harry said. Dumbledore pulled down a sword that resembled Harry's exactly but had a different sight. A Tiger instead of a Phoenix.
"You two have the swords of Light…" He pointed to Harry, "and Shadow. Divided they are strong. Together they are invincible. Remember that." Dumbledore said. They both nodded and Dumbledore turned to the group.
"Now if you follow me…I can give you your robes." Dumbledore said and walked over to the wall across the room and muttered something again and the wall flipped over to reveal the eight different silk robes.
"No armor?" Ron asked looking at the red robes in front of him.
"No…In china you will use these robes. They will protect you very well…I assure it." Dumbledore said with a grin.
"So…we get the same colors as our armor right?" Ginny asked as she grabbed the white robes and started to look at them.
"Yes…now once you've changed into your robes meet me by the back wall. I will give you guys your bows and a secondary weapon and some holsters for your main weapon." Dumbledore said and walked to the back of the room. The robes were pure silk. Harry then noticed that he had a leather guards around his body that blended in with the silk outer coating. He started to get dressed and when he had the pants on he noticed that they were loose around the legs but tight around his waist. His upper shirt was also loose but he wasn't baggy or anything just loose. On the back of his upper armor robe was an imprint of a white wolf that was on his black silk. He looked at Ty and the rest of them. They all looked excited to have this armor. They walked over to Dumbledore.
He handed them all a bow that was all white and white arrows. He also gave them there secondary weapons. They all had the same ones. It was a duel weapon that was a short blade with points on both ends with a handle that was weirdly enough on the side. Dumbledore grabbed one of them and showed them how to use it.
"See the handle is back enough that if you wanted to punch some one you would also stab a good three or four inches into him. Then the rest of the blade is for when you spin it…" Dumbledore showed them. "That is when you attack. It is a quick kill and you can keep going."
Harry and the others walked out and holstered there weapons. Harry's and Ty's holster was touching the ground and Neville had his swords secured to his back in an x pattern. Mrs. Weasley was standing there still sobbing but hugged them all.
"Now be careful…I can't lose you guys." She said and hugged the whole group including Jenny and Ty who both looked shocked. The twins looked on enviously and nodded to the group. Dumbledore took the book off the table and looked at the group.
"You will need Quinn, and remember you why you are going there. Don't get caught up in the moment." Dumbledore said as he walked out of the living room and went outside. The whole group followed including the Weasley family. Quinn flew down and landed next to Harry. Harry patted it on the head and looked back at Dumbledore.
"Ready?" Dumbledore asked as he handed Harry the package. Dumbledore then reached in his back pocket and pulled out eight with bands. Each with and animal or sing on it. He gave the head bands to Harry and then he left them as Harry reached down to open the package.
