Harry and Ron had been roaming around the Ministry since early in the morning, they were considering the jobs offers and by eleven, they were almost convinced of taking the offer of the Auror's office, they have been talking for the past fortnight about the will of Snape and why on earth they will be heirs, so they enter the Department of Wills, Office 1 and to their surprise, they saw Prof. McGonagall, Madam Pomfrey, Madam Rosmerta and Aberforth Dumbledore already waiting in the office, after a few puzzled greetings, they took a seat and wait until the door open again and Hermione enter, she was surprise and a little more curious about the people call in to the reading, after catch up with the boys and after inquire with Ms. Pomfrey for the health of the injured transfer to St. Mungo's, she just sit in silence waiting for the wizard in charge to enter but instead, one last heir appear, the boys were puzzled, but Hermione was speechless, right there in front of her was Viktor, she just send him and owl the day before and now he was there, in the Ministry no less, an looking at her with surprise but also happiness, he was delighted to see that she was wearing the necklace he had given to her the last time they saw each other, she immediately jump in to a hug while the others watch, then someone cough and they separate just in time for Viktor to notice the other persons there, he quickly handshake Harry and Ron, then took the hand of Prof. McGonagall and Madam Pomfrey to give them a kiss and got introduce to Madam Rosmerta and Aberforth Dumbledore, then he took the chair next to Hermione and wait for the Portkey to be ready.

They only wait for a couple of minutes and then the glow started...

Petunia Dursley was impress, not only the wizard that appear in her home at 10 before eleven he also was dressed normally, and had the delicacy of knocking the door and bring with him a town black car, she already had inform Vernon of the reading, he was upset about it but Petunia was right, she can afford to lose some time in a reading that they losing money, so she went confident that it will not take more than a couple of hours, once in the car, she saw the other person on it and keep silence, but her eyes almost popped out of their sockets when she realized where they were going...

She was not happy, but there was nothing she could do, jumping out of the car was beneath her, so she force herself to not let her emotions get the best of her, soon they were in a small and familiar road, going back to a place she didn't want to go, and sooner rather than later they were entering a much familiar neighborhood, a much familiar set of identical brick houses, she notes that the wizard want to roll down the car window, but she stop it, she still remember the smell of the dirty river down street and the bank which is strewn with litter, she wants to avoid that as much as possible...

Finally, they were getting down the car and entering a small door to a garden she knows all too well, she definitely remembers the boy with greasy black hair and hooked nose...

They entered and she took the tall chair next to the scones and barely a second later with a puff she saw 8 other people holding on something that look like a cup, she saw Harry and nod, then she noted a boy and girl his age and another one a little bit older, maybe three or four years and 4 older people, like her or maybe like her parents if they were still alive...

She didn't pay attention to them, she noted the cup that was placed in the table, and she gasped, she recognizes the cup, she saw her once, back when she was a kid, in the first Christmas year of Lily after been accepted in Hogwarts it had come with an owl on Christmas morning, Lily has tears in her eyes and keep saying how lovely it was...she feels the tears in her eyes, she remembers the day Lily left to marry James and how she packs the cup and take it to her new home...

Introductions were made but Petunia was incapable of let go the cup, she was in shock, at first she though it was a copy, a forgery, but then she saw the dent on the handle, the one she made, that one time she took it from Lily hand and accidentally hit it with the door, never understood why Lily didn't magical repaired it, maybe, she was about to know the answer...
