Harry awoke the next morning before Ron and Hermione. He quickly showered and changed clothes. He left the Inn and went to the cemetery. He took flowers and laid them on his mother's grave.

"Hi" Harry said. "I feel really weird talking to you but I feel like I need you right now" Harry paused. "I am scared I am leading my friends to their deaths and I miss Ginny so much it hurts. Am I doing the right thing?"

He couldn't explain it but suddenly it was like he heard his mothers voice only in his head.

Darling you aren't leading your friends anywhere-they are following you by choice. You are making the best decisions and you have to trust your instincts. As for Ginny-if you miss her go to her.

"Mom" Harry called but he knew it was no use. She was dead and he must be hearing things. But her words were strong and renewed his faith. He knew what he needed to do.

On his way back to the Inn Harry found a man to start re- constructing his parent's home. He had no idea why he wanted to do that. He felt it was message-Voldemort may set them back but would never win. James and Lily might be dead but they would never truly be gone-Just like Dumbledore.

Hermione and Ron were waiting for him when he came back. "Ready to go?" he asked and they nodded. Once again the knight bus was flagged down and they left for Hogsmeade.

Aberforth seemed happy to see them but was very busy when they arrived at the Hogshead. They waited almost thirty minutes to talk to him. He left one of his helpers behind the bar and took them upstairs. "I left the stuff in a room up here" he told them. "Have you thought of how you will get there?"

"No" Harry admitted.

"I have that taken care of too," Aberforth said. 'It's not far but you need a safe way of getting there. I have a car"

"Like a muggle car?" Hermione asked.

"Yes- a Ford Fairlane" He told her. Then he smiled "A 1957 Ford Fairlaine"

Hermione seemed shocked but didn't respond.

"I will drive" Ron said.

"No" both Hermione and Harry shouted at the same time.

"I will" Hermione said trying not to laugh. 'I have a muggle drivers license"

"You do?" Harry asked.

Hermione nodded.

"Ok-I will help you kids get the stuff into the car" Aberforth said. "Now- I will place a disillusionment charm on the car so you can drive without being seen-come on"

Aberforth took out his wand and charmed the stuff to follow them downstairs. He managed to get it all outside without being seen.

Ron chuckled, "I am not riding in that"

"Why?" Hermione asked.

"It's pink" Ron said.

"Come on Ron" Harry urged. "It is a short trip"

Ron, Harry and Aberforth packed the stuff in the car and Aberforth disillusioned the trio and the car.

"Thank you" Harry said before they got into the car. Hermione started the car and they headed to Hogwarts.

Hermione was decent driver and there were no accidents. When they reached the Hogwarts grounds they could see Hagrid's cabin was empty. "I wonder where he is?" Harry asked.

"Went to visit Madame Maxine" Ron replied. "I heard dad and Lupin talking about it"

They parked the car by Hagrid's Cabin and hid it carefully. They trudged up to the castle and found it was unlocked. "I can't believe that" Harry said. Once inside Hermione did a few complex locking spells. "I will do some research and put up some wards later"

They started walking through. They were all three shocked by how eerie it was when empty. Harry felt anger rising through him again when he thought about Dumbledore's death. "Let's go to Dumbledore's office" Harry suggested. "That feels right. "

The trio ended up in front of Dumbledore's office trying to figure out the password. Finally Harry shouted out in frustration, "For Godric Gryffindor's sake this is useless"

The stone Gargoyles jumped out the way.

"What did I say?" Harry asked.

"Godric Gryffindor" The Gargoyle replied.

"Can we change that password-that is far too easy?" Hermione said as they walked in.

"Yes" The Gargoyle told her.

"Change the password to Ginerva" Harry said. Ron rolled his eyes and Hermione smirked. Harry decided best to change the subject. "So let's put this stuff down and start going through it"

Ron and Hermione did as Harry suggested. Harry started in the large trunk and Ron and Hermione each picked a box. It was mostly paperwork. It seemed to be all the research Dumbledore had ever done regarding Horcruxes and a lot of it Harry already knew.

"I am going to take a break," Harry announced a few hours later. He was hungry and he figured Hermione and Ron were too. Harry wasn't sure if the house elves were still at Hogwarts or not. "Kreacher" Harry called. A moment later the house elf appeared in front of Harry with Dobby.

"Sir" the house elf squeaked with a sour expression.

"Hello Harry Potter" Dobby greeted him warmly.

"Hello Dobby" Harry replied. "Are the house elves still working here"?

"For now they are sir" Kreacher answered.

"Good- we need to eat." Harry said. He looked at them. "Could the two of you get us something to eat?" He paused and looked at Kreacher, 'Food decent to eat that isn't poisoned"

"Don't worry Harry Potter" Dobby squeaked. "Kreacher is bound to you and forbidden to harm Harry potter in anyway"

"Good-thank you Dobby" Harry said he turned to Kreacher. "Now go!"

With a pop both house elves were gone. Harry grabbed a spare piece of parchment and sat down to write Petunia a letter.

Aunt Petunia

Just wanted to let you know I was safe. For safety reasons I can't tell you where I am but I am fine-as are Ron and Hermione. Were still researching but haven't turned anything up.

I went to my mum and dads grave. I thought about you while I was there-have you ever been?

Hope to hear from you soon

-Harry

He folded the letter. "Ron, Can I use Pig to send a letter?"

"Sure, what is wrong with Hedwig?" Ron asked.

"Nothing" Harry replied. "Just everyone-including the death eaters know she belongs to me"

"True" Ron replied.

Harry grabbed Pig and attached the letter to her. He watched her leave. He hoped Petunia was ok-and silently he hoped she remembered something although he knew it was a long shit.

"Wow" Ron said. "Harry-come here and look at this" Harry walked over to Ron and saw him holding Gryffindor's sword. "Remember this?"

"Yeah" Harry answered taking the sword. "It belongs to you now" Ron told him.

Harry smiled remembering the moment he used this to save Ginny from the Chamber. "Ginny" he said and his smile faded. He stood up and put the sword down. "I will be back," Harry told them and he apparated. He knew he didn't have a license but he didn't care. He needed to see Ginny.
