Harry apparated into the Burrow and hoped it was empty. "Tank you" Harry whispered when he realized it was. Harry tip-toed up the stairs and found Ginny's door opened. He knocked. Ginny looked up from the desk.
"Oh Merlin" she said. She ran and put her arms around him. "What are you doing here?"
"I-I" Harry stuttered. "I had to be with you"
"I missed you" Ginny said.
"Yeah-me too" Harry replied and then he kissed her. The world seem to spin beneath him for a moment and he never wanted it to end.
"I am coming with you" Ginny whispered when he pulled away.
"Gin" he started
She had already pulled out of his grasp and went to her desk. She scribbled a note and used magic to stick it to the door. "I told them I ran away and went after you-that way they don't get mad at you"
"Gin" he started again but she cut him off with a kiss.
"How did you get here?" Ginny asked as she threw clothes in her bag.
"Apparated" Harry said.
"I can side along" Ginny informed him. "I have done it before"
"But I don't have my license yet" Harry argued.
"Neither did Bill at the time" Ginny grinned.
Harry found himself smiling and then he chuckled. 'Ok-but we have to hurry."
Ginny finished packing and the wrapped her arms around Harry's waist. "I trust you. Let's go"
Harry closed his eyes and hoped this worked. Sure enough when he opened his eyes he was at Hogwarts in Dumbledore's office. Ron grinned at his sister and hugged her.
"hey ginny" he said. "Mum and Dad are going to kill you"
"I know" Ginny laughed. Hermione however looked perplexed." nice to see you too Hermione"
"No-it is great to see you Gin but how?" Hermione said. "How was Harry able to apparate in here or out for that matter"
"She's right" Harry said. "You can't-or your not suppose to be able to"
"Harry this bad" Hermione warned him. "The defenses have been let down. Who would have done that?"
"I don't know" Harry said. "What do we do?"
"We have to put them back up" Ron broke in.
"Ron-we can't do that," Hermione said. "We aren't powerful enough"
"I could" Hagrid called from the doorway.
At first Harry was glad to see him but then he saw the look on Hagrid's face. "Hi" Harry said.
"What are you lot doing here?" Hagrid asked.
"We are on a mission," Harry told him. "A mission from Dumbledore"
Hagrid considered this. "Ok" He said. "I trust ya – Dumbledore definitely was up to something before he died."
"We were told by Aberforth to come here" Hermione advised him.
"Dumbledore's brother?" Hagrid asked.
"Yes-he gave me all this stuff" Harry answered. "he said Dumbledore wanted me to have it"
"Well then he did" Hagrid replied. "I will get with Sprout and a few others. We will put the wards back up"
"Hagrid-don't tell them we are here" Harry said. "Please-ok?"
Hagrid was quiet, 'Ok" he agreed finally. "I will make something up. Harry please be careful. Come see me before you leave"
"Hagrid-we parked our car by your house" Hermione's aid as he was leaving.
"car?" Hagrid echoed.
"Yes-our pink ford farlean" Ron answered with a smirk.
"Ford Fairlaine" Hermione corrected him.
Hagrid just shook his head and smiled as he left.
"So here we are" Ginny said. She walked over to the pile of boxes. "What are we doing?"
Harry explained about the horcurxes. Ginny seemed shocked. Then Harry explained about Godric's Hollow and Aberforth. Ginny looked around, "So all of this is yours?" Ginny asked.
"Yeah" Harry answered. "And some it may contain the answers we need"
Harry heard a pop and turned and found Dobby and Kreacher with food. "Another filthy blood traitor" Kreacher mumbled when he saw Ginny.
"You do not speak of Harry Potter's girlfriend like that" Dobby said looking ready to throttle Kreacher.
"Don't worry about him" Harry told Dobby. Harry turned to Kreacher. "Yu are forbidden to call Ginny names" Harry paused, "or Ron or Hermione"
Kreacher mumbled but all he did was put the food down and leave. "I will go and bring back food for the nice lady" Dobby said motioning to Ginny.
"No thank you Dobby-I am not hungry right now" Ginny told him.
"Just call for me Harry Potter" Dobby called and then he diapparated.
Harry, Ron and Hermione sat down to eat. Ginny was still looking around. Before they finished eating Pig flew through the window. Harry stood up and grabbed the response from his aunt.
Harry-I am so glad to hear from you. Please give Ron and Hermione my best.
I wanted to tell you I remember something. James and Lily were doing the same kind of research you were. They said one of the horcruxes was some kind of scepter and it was located in America. Actually Ron is the reason I remembered that because the people who had this scepter in America-there last name was Weasley too.
I hope that is helpful. Take care and write back soon.
-Petunia
Harry put the letter down and looked form Ron to Ginny. 'Do you two have any relatives in America.
Ron looked thoughtful for a moment. "Don't think so"
"We do" Ginny said rolling her eyes at Ron.
"My dads cousin Daniel Weasley lived there-I think he is dead now but his kids are still there" Ginny said.
"Right-Amanda and Turner" Ron said. His face grew dark. "Daniel stole dads inheritance from his father plus they say he is a death eater"
"Was" Ginny reminded him, 'I am pretty sure he dies a few years ago"
"Why do you ask?" Hermione asked.
Harry read them Petunia's letter. He explained to Ginny what happened at the Durlsey's.
"So our family has horcrux?" Ginny asked looking disgusted.
"Maybe" Harry said. "We need to still research before we run off and attack your relatives"
"I bet they do though" Ron muttered. "Dad says they are pure evil"
When they were done eating they decided to turn in for the evening but to sleep in shifts until the wards were laced back up. Hermione and Ginny were going to sleep first. Hermione found Dumbledore's bedchamber.
Ron and Harry continued to go through the old journals and paperwork. They chatted through the night of what might be coming for them in the future.
