Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. (I wish)
A/N: Yes a new story. I read HBP in one and a half days and found myself imagining the seventh year. So here's my take on the next book. It's basically the search for the last four Horcruxes; I have some very interesting theories about them. For those of you wondering I have not totally abandoned my other stories (other the outsider one), I've just hit writers block on them. If you have any ideas for them let me know.
Spoiler Warning- if you have not read HBP DO NOT READ. Major SPOILERS
Summary: Harry, Ron, and Hermione continue on their journey to find the last Horcruxes and save the wizarding world. They enjoy the wedding and Harry has to make a tough decision before they depart. Will they stick together and complete this journey in one piece? Will the Horcruxes turn out to cause more destruction then they planned? Will Harry make it through? Well read and find out.
Harry Potter and the Quest for the missing Horcruxes
Harry stood staring at Dumbledore tomb. Ron and Hermione were standing on either side of him. His mind was reeling; he had no idea where to go from here.
He
had to find the other Horcruxes; he just didn't know where to look.
He also had to figure out who R.A.B. was and get the real necklace
back.
"Harry? Are we going to go?" Hermione asked timidly.
"Yeah, yeah let's go." he replied turning from the tomb and heading to the gates.
As they walked through the gates all three of them turned and took one last glance at Hogwarts. It had been Harry's home for six years. He was going to miss it, but he had a mission. He had to find the last four Horcruxes and then destroy Voldermort. Not because the prophecy said so, but because Voldermort had taken too much from him. He had to avenge them, everyone. He was walking through to the stadium with his head held high.
He turned and walked down the lane to Hogsmeade station. Ron and Hermione took their hint from Harry and didn't speak the whole way. There was nothing more to say.
"I will miss it." he said simply as they climbed into the Hogwarts express and found a compartment. The Weasleys were all apparating home, Harry had explained how they were going to the Dursleys and then would be back for the wedding. Ron had been reluctant to mention that after they were going to Godric's Hollow, and weren't returning to school. They explained that they had a mission, but not what it was.
It had been a few minutes before Mrs. Weasleys spoke. When she did her voice quivered and tears came to her eyes. "I- I understand,"
"Thank you Mrs. Weasleys. I- We need to do this."
"I know honey, I know." she had said taking his face in her hands. They shook so bad that Harry's teeth had clattered together.
"Thanks for everything, Mrs. Weasleys. You were like the mother I never had." He said as he had took her hand and hugged her.
"You understand too, why I and Hermione are going to?" Ron had asked, expecting a fight.
"Yes, of course I do honey. You three are always together and right now Harry needs you more then ever. You three have to go together." said had stared right into Ron's eyes with a slight smile. "I love you and am very proud of you." She hugged Ron and then Hermione. "I'll see you three at the wedding."
The three of them at given hugs all around, but didn't say farewells. The wedding was for that, if they all could.
The train ride was uneventful and pretty silent. Both Ron and Hermione tried to start up conversations, but they went nowhere. Harry sat silently staring out the window, his head was still reeling.
They arrived at Kings Cross Station, and he stepped through the barrier. The Dursleys were waiting for him on the other side. Harry, Ron, and Hermione walked over to them.
Uncle Vernon gave Ron and Hermione very unsettling looks, before turning to Harry and asking "Who are they?"
"This is Ron and that is Hermione, my best friends. They're staying with me while at I'm at home."
"They most certainly are not! We don't need anymore of you kind. I will not let that filth in our home. NO!" Uncle Vernon bellowed. Aunt Petunia grabbed his arm and tried to hush him, because people were staring.
"They are too. Now let's go!" Harry turned; as he did Uncle Vernon grabbed his arm. In a split second, he had his wand pointed at Uncle Vernon's heart. "They are staying as long as I am. Now, I've had a very bad day, no as a matter of fact make that weeks. DO NOT MESS WITH ME!" Harry's face was beat read and his hand was shaking. Ron and Hermione stood back away. They understood Harry's anger and hurt, but they also knew that if provoked this could turn very nasty.
"Harry its okay," Hermione tried.
Uncle Vernon said nothing. Maybe it was Harry's look of pure hatred and anger, his wand, or the fact that he was outnumbered three to one, but Harry didn't care. He turned and led to way out of the station with Ron and Hermione close behind. They all knew this summer wasn't going to be fun, but the Dursleys house was going to worse of all.
A/N: So what do you think so far? Review and let me know.
