Ron smiled as he saw Harry and Ginny coming towards him.
" It's good to see everything back to normal " he said.
Ginny nodded. " I think I need a drink " she said and she walked inside. " I'll be out later Harry."
Ron watched her go in and as soon as she was out out his sight , he bent down towards Harry. His voice almost a whisper.
" I didn't want to say this in front of Ginny Harry. But I thought you should know , that they found De Lecours Body last night deserted on some highway , killed with the Avada Kedavra curse , but the healers say he was also tortured with the Crucio beforehand."
Harry nodded and kept walking with him at a slow pace. " Does his family know?"
" Harry they dont even know that he was in league with You know who. I doubt they will take it well."
Harry sighed. " Great. Just great."
" And the media were around this morning , prowling around actually looking for nothing better to do than stir up some trouble."
" And what happened?"
" Not much really in terms of trouble. Mum bewitched the tea pot and had it chase them out the gate spraying them with boiling water." Ron laughed. " If they had stopped and checked it out , they would have realised it was only luke warm Pumpkin Juice."
" I could have prevented his death Ron. If I had..."
Ron cried. " No way Harry. He tried to kill you and Ginny and he wouldn't have given you a second thought. Look this fool tried to hoodwink Voldemort. You dont mess with creeps like him."
" But if he was alive Ron. We could have questioned him on Voldemorts whereabouts and his plans."
Ron shook his head. " I heard Dad talking with Tonks , Lupin and Mad Eye Moody yesterday. Jon was not in Voldemorts little ring group at all. He was being used by Voldemort and that was that. It was obvious that he was going to be killed afterwards. He was sort of like Bertha Jorkins only smarter and far more sneakier."
" I still feel responsible."
" Well dont " said Ron. " becuase there's more news." Do you remember that nice girl in Fred and George's shop in Diagon Alley."
" Yes. Felicity isn't it."
" She was found murdered Harry...Jon killed her and stole all her money to leave for france."
" He knows the Avada Kedavra curse " cried Harry.
" He didn't use it " said Ron.
" Then what happened? " asked Harry.

Back to the night of Jon's death. (Ron's description of Felicity's murder)
Felicity closed the curtains of her bedroom as the night sky began to appear. She switched on her lamp and sat into bed holding her book and flicking through the pages. She jumped suddenly as she heard a creak on the stair and dropped the book. Pulling up the covers , she called out.
" Jon...is that you? Is anyone there?"
The door swung open and Jon staggered in. His robes torn and caked with blood , his face cut and bleeding.
Felicity screamed and lunged forward. " Jon what happened? Are you alright?"
" He pulled out his wand and pointed it at her. " Give me all your money " he demanded.
" What?"
" You heard me. Give it to me or I villl blow zis room apart with you in it."
" Jon what's going on?"
He faced her. " I said give it to me."
" No " cried Felicity. " I worked hard for this money. Why are you doing this? I thought you loved me. I thought we were supposed to get married."
He laughed bitterly. " I dont care for you " he screamed. " I need zee money , now hurry up. Zee Death Eaters are coming...I ave to get out of here."
" I wont let you " cried Felicity and she blocked the drawyer with the money in it. " I trusted you. I loved you."
He stepped forward and grabbed her by her hair and pushed her away , but she swung back and kicked him in the head and he fell backwards. She ran for the drawyer and grabbed her purse and ran from the room. The hall was bathed in complete darkness so she crept along the stairway trying to avoid the steps that creaked. She reached the stairs when a hand clasped her shoulder. She looked up frightened into the grinning face of Jon Lestrange. Horrified she tried to get away.
" Bon Voyage darling " he smiled and he pushed her down the stairs. She fell quickly , her body speeding rapidly down the stairs and hit the bottom floor with a thud. She uttered a final groan and all was still. Jon walked down camly bent over her and picked up the purse two feet from where she had landed.
" Thanks darling. I really appreciate it " and he ran off into the night.

" And thats what happened " said Ron.
Harry sighed. " Fred and George must be crushed."
" Yeah they were very upset especially George. He really liked her."
Harry nodded. " Come on , we better get back into the burrow and get our things ready for school."
