Disclaimer: I do not own anything to do with Harry Potter, if I did I would be extremely rich, but I'm not. It all belongs to J. K. Rowling
Note: This is my own version of Book 7. All I own is some of the plot.
Harry Potter and the Beacon of Hope
Chapter 2 – You-Know-Who
"Harry it's good to see you again," said Mrs Weasley as they entered the Kitchen. She swept Harry up and hugged him, leaving him very embarrassed.
"Harry!" came a yell from the door. He turned around and saw Hermione standing there.
"Hi Hermione," replied Hermione, "look I've got something important to tell you later."
"Me too," added Hermione. Mrs Weasley suddenly picked up a couple of letters and handed them to Ron.
"That reminds me. These arrived for you," she explained.
"Thanks mum," he replied, then added to Harry and Hermione, "Come on, we need to talk." They left the Kitchen and headed to Ron's room. On the stairs they met Ginny. For a moment no words were exchanged and Harry was clearly embarrassed until Ginny broke the silence.
"Phlegm's not in the kitchen is she?" Ginny asked.
"No," answered Ron.
"Good," said Ginny. She headed past them and down the stair. A few minutes later they reached Ron's room. They sat down and Ron examined his letters.
"One's my Hogwarts letter," observed Ron, laying it aside. He opened the other letter. "Harry! I've got a letter from Scrimgeour too!"
"So have I!" added Hermione, "that's what I wanted to tell you."
"Well we'll just have to evade the ministry like Sirius did," commented Harry.
"I don't know," interjected Hermione, "Sirius could turn into a dog if any Ministry wizards got to near. Your only 17, do you really think you'll be able to find Voldemort's Horcruxes whilst on the run?" Ron flinched.
"Well we were never going to fully get away with skipping our seventh year. If were trying to stop You-Know-Who does it matter if we're…
"Ron we can't hunt Horcruxes from inside Azkaban," interrupted Hermione.
"Can he send us to Azkaban for that?" asked Harry.
"If we've come of age, then yes," answered Hermione, "I'm afraid I really can't see any way of getting out of going to Hogwarts this year."
"There must be a way!" demanded Harry, "we can't just give up and abandon our search."
"I know that," added Hermione, "nothing is more important then stopping Voldemort." Ron flinched again. "I'm just saying that being inside Azkaban will stop the search, but from Hogwarts we could find a way of carrying on."
"That is a good Idea," agreed Ron, "I mean, we don't even know where to start looking for Horcruxes."
"I get what your saying but it just seems like giving up to the ministry, to Voldemort. It feels like we're letting Voldemort win." Explained Harry. At that moment Ginny burst into the room.
"Escaping from Phlegm?" chuckled Ron but he stopped when he saw how terrified Ginny looked."
"Fleur's d, d, dead" she stammered.
"What!" Ron burst out.
"Ginny what's happening?" asked Hermione.
"She was k, k, killed." Answered Ginny.
"Who killed her?" asked Harry.
"It was You-Know-Who!" she exclaimed, "Voldemort, Voldemort's here!"
Please review; I'll only carry on if you like it.
