A/N: There is a lot of detail and what may seem like uselss history. It all ties I think and I had fun writing it-so have fun reading it. Thanks for your reveiws.

"Harry" Hermione called. "Harry comes here"

Harry put down the journal he was reading and walked over to Hermione. She was looking at an old piece of parchment. "What?' he asked.

"I found something" she told him and handed him the parchment.

Diary –destroyed

Ring- destroyed

Locket- cave?

Scepter of Knowledge- Alabama?

Helga Hufflepuff's cup- Orphanage?

Nagini-?

Voldemort-?

"Oh wow" Harry breathed when he finished reading. "This is it"

"Harry- do you see the question marks?" Hermione asked." That means it is all a guess"

"So was the locket and we would have had that one if someone hadn't beaten us there" Harry reminded her. "It's worth a shot-but what is the Scepter of Knowledge and where in Alabama?"

At this point Ron and Ginny joined the conversation. "Our relatives lived in a little wizarding suburb in Alabama" Ron advised.

"The we have to go there" Harry said, "But we need to pal first" Harry scribbled a note to Aberforth asking what to speak with him.

An hour or so later Aberforth knocked on the door. Harry went to get him and led him inside. Harry explained about the Scepter and Alabama.

"The Scepter of Knowledge was made for Rowena Ravenclaw by Tobias Olivander-yes related to our Olivander" Aberforth told them. "It was her wand. It can't perform any magic- she made sure her magic died with her."

"Ok well we have to get the Scepter and we are pretty sure we know the general area of where it is located." Harry told him. "Alabama"

Aberforth snorted, "Alabama-that is random isn't?"

"Sort of" Harry said.

"What kind of help do you need?" Aberforth asked.

"Does Hogwarts have records of old students?" Hermione asked. "Maybe their updated addresses?"

Aberforth smiled, "Actually yes". He nodded to the sorting hat. "Ask that thing:"

Harry took the hat from the shelf. "I need the last known location for a former Hogwarts student." Harry said.

"Name of student?" the hat asked.

He looked at Ron, "Daniel Weasley"

"Daniel Weasley" Harry said. The hat was quiet for a moment. Harry wondered how many Daniel Weasley there were?

"Daniel Weasley sorted into Slytherin house in 1951 graduated in 1958" The house said, "Last known address 1 Weasley way, Westoria Alabama 38958-Untied States of America"

"Weasley Way?" Hermione asked.

"Did we forget to mention they are rich?" Ginny muttered.

"Well- I will take my leave now" Aberforth said. "Good luck"

Harry watched him leave and the others began discussing. "We can't fly to far," Ginny said.

"Apparition too dangerous" Ron said.

"Looks like the Knight Bus again" Harry said, "It would be fairly quick:"

"Where are we going to stay?" Hermione asked.

"A hotel" Harry said.

"Money" Ron and Ginny chorused.

"I will pay for you" Harry said.

"I will pay for Ron and you can pay for Ginny" Hermione said. "My dad sent me money"

"Oh sounds good" Harry said.

However Ron looked less than pleased that Hermione was paying for him and was grumpy all evening while they packed. The decided to get started in the morning.

The next morning Harry had breakfast brought to them and they poured over a map.

When they were done Harry flagged down the knight bus-Stan seemed a little surprised. "You lot keep popping up," he said. The he looked pointedly at Ginny, 'and there is one more of you"

"Yeah" Harry replied. He led his friends to the back after telling Stan where they needed to go. It didn't take long to get there and Harry didn't quite feel ready but he knew it was know or never. They found a modest Hotel in the muggle part of town but decided not to check in until later-something better might come along. .

Hermione found some witches from the area who identified the house as Weasley Plantation and gave directions. It took them hours to get up the nerve to actually go look around. When they did head that direction Harry made sure the sword was hanging on his back.

The house sat on a large amount of property- a farm. A large gate surrounded it but Hermione and Harry were able to find a way in the back by climbing a tree. "What now?" Ginny asked once they were in. Harry took out his invisibility cloak.

"You two go to the door and say you wanted to meet your family. Hermione and I will follow you in under this" Harry said.

"That plan sounds a little shotty Harry" Ginny said, "A lot could go wrong"

"We don't have long ok" Harry said, "Let's just go with this"

Ron and Ginny begrudgingly approached the front door. Harry and Hermione under the invisibility cloak followed. Ron cleared his throat and knocked on the door. It took a few minutes but a house finally opened the door. "I would like to see Amanda or Turner Weasley" Ron said.

"And you are?" The house elf asked.

"I am Ronald and this Ginny Weasley" Ron said, "They are my cousins"

"Second cousins actually" a distinguished older gentlemen said. He had similar facial features to Ron and blazing red hair "It's ok Tinker-let them in"

The house elf let them pass and Hermione and Harry followed. "Ron and Ginny-yup you definitely look like Weasley's –striking good looks" he chuckled. "Please follow me-tell your friends they can drop the cloak no on will hurt them"

The trio and Ginny stopped short. Hermione looked at Harry and he shrugged. They took off the cloak. "Hello" the man said. "I am Turner Weasley-please come in"

The four of them followed him into the living room. "You are Arthur's kids right?" Turner asked.

"Arthur has seven kids though," a woman said as she came into the room. She had decent figure for an older woman and again-red hair "I am Amanda Weasley" she said. She looked over Hermione and Harry. "Who are your friends?"

Ron cleared his throat, "This is Hermione Granger-she is my girlfriend" Ron said motioning to Hermione. She stepped forward and reached out to shake their hand.

"And this" Ginny started proudly "is my boyfriend Harry Potter"

Harry decided right now wasn't the time to correct Ginny but he wasn't her boyfriend-not right now.

"Well imagine-our second cousin dating the famous Harry Potter" Amanda said. "It is a pleasure to meet you all of you"

"Please sit down," Turned said. Everyone sat down and Turner called a house elf to bring in drinks. "Now-what brings you kids here"

"What?" Ron asked, "Oh just a visit"

Turner chuckled, "Ron your father fights with the Order of the Phoenix and thinks I am death eater-this isn't a visit"

"Your not death eaters" Ginny said.

"Goodness no" Amanda told her. "Father wasn't either-although he was evil enough. He just never openly supporter them. Our father was an odd man."

"How so?" Hermione asked.

"First Weasley ever in Slytherin" Turner answered. "For generations we have been in-Weasley's were always in Gryffindor"

"Really?" Ginny asked.

"Oh yes" Turner said. "The farthest we can actually trace our family is to the day of the founders- Atticus Barrington was a close friend of Godric Gryffindor's and the husband of Rowena Ravenclaw but our family has always been in Gryffindor"

Ron and Ginny seemed in awe of this history lesson. So Harry decided to push forward. "So why did your dad end up in Slytherin?" Harry asked.

"No one knows" Amanda said. "But he never became a death eater although he wasn't a nice man. He hated muggle-borns. Even the man I married"

"You married a muggle-born?" Hermione asked.

"Yes" Amanda said. "He was skilled last year by death eaters along with my daughter Elizabeth"

"I am so sorry" Hermione said.

"Yes-I don't know what they wanted," Amanda said. "It is almost like they wanted something from us"

"Maybe they did" Harry said he leaned forward. "Do you have a scepter?"

"A scepter?" Amanda repeated. "A scepter?" She paused and then looked oddly. "The Scepter of Knowledge?""

"Yes" Harry said.

"Well-yes we do" Amanda said. She turned to her brother. "Is that still in the attic?"

Turner nodded, "I think so-why?"

"That is why we came here," Harry said. "The death eaters want that scepter"

"Why?" Amanda asked.

"I can't really explain but Voldemort wants it" Harry said. He expected Amanda and Turner to cringe but they didn't.

"Why?" Turner asked.

"I can't explain" Harry said.

"If this is why my brother-in-law and my niece died that I want to know" Turner replied.

Harry sighed and realized he had right to know some of it. "Ok Voldmort needs that scepter to remain mortal-that's it"

"Dark magic huh?" Amanda asked and Harry nodded. "Tinker-please go get the scepter out of the attic?"

The house elf went to go and find it. Amanda looked at Harry, "Why didn't you just say all of this"

"We thought you were death eaters ordered to keep it safe" Ginny replied.

"Tell your father we aren't" Turner said.

A few minutes later the house elf appeared with a white box. Harry took it from him and opened it. There lay a silver scepter with the Ravenclaw house crest. "This is it" Harry said. 'The Scepter of Knowledge" Hermione reached out and obviously wanted to touch it. Her eyes were shinning.

"This is legendary," she said.

"Would you kids like to stay for supper?" Amanda asked.

"No we should go" Harry replied.

"No please stay" Turner urged. "I would love more time with Ron and Ginny"

Ron and Ginny looked hopeful so Harry nodded his assent.

"Good" Turner said. "Now lets all just relax"
