Chapter11

"Yes it does, it's a much better find than what I found" Ron said.

"Oh Ron, this is serious. We better find something to take it in. We don't know if it is what we think it is or not" Hermione said, clearly aggravated at Ron for joking about it.

"Go find a box anybody" Harry said.

"Found one" Ron said.

There was a box on the coffee table. Well when you have something that could potentially be dangerous, you can't help but be distracted and not see things that are right in front of you.

They levitated the locket and put it in the box.

Then they side-apparated with Harry back to the Burrow.

When they came back, they landed on top of one another, causing the box to open and spill the locket out.

The locket hit Harry in the face and that made Harry scream in pain.

"Ahhhh! That hurts!" Harry screamed.

Mrs. Weasley was in the kitchen and she turned around noticing what was going on.

Everyone on to of Harry got off him and Hermione lifted the locket of his face.

Harry felt a sudden relief wash over him.

Harry had a burn mark on the left side of his face from where the locket fell.

"Harry, what happened?" Mrs. Weasley asked, running to his aid.

"We found a Horcrux mum and it fell on Harry in the face. We put it in a box to come here but, when we fell on each other from Harry apparating, the box opened and the Horcrux fell out" Ginny stated.

"Professor McGonagall will want to hear about this" Hermione stated.

"Alright, Ginny you stay here with Harry and Hermione and I will go tell McGonagall" Ron said.

Ginny nodded as they flooed to Hogwarts because, Ron still couldn't apparate.

Ginny helped her mother and put a cold compress on Harry's burn.

It burned Harry because the protection that his mother gave him ran out when he turned 17. That allowed something of Voldemort to hurt him.

After Harry was comforted, they took him to Ron's room and put him on a bed.

Mrs. Weasley left Ginny and Harry alone, and went to check on Buckbeak.

"Harry does it hurt still?" Ginny asked.

"Yeah but now that you're here, it's much better" Harry said.

"Oh Harry" Ginny said as she hugged him tight and kissed the burn.

"Does that feel better now?" Ginny asked.

"Yes of course it does. You make everything better Ginny" Harry stated with a smile.

(I know I'm making this sappy but it's what I do)

There was a long pause but with lots of smiles between Harry and Ginny.

Harry couldn't take the silence so he spoke, his smile faltering.

"Do you think Ron would mind if I put up pictures of my mum, dad, and Sirius?"

"No I don't think he'd mind at all" Ginny assured.

"Good" Harry said.

Harry got the mini pictures out of the nightstand and unshrinking them, levitated them on the wall.

Soon the pictures filled with the person whose name was on it.

(the dialog in italics is of the people in the pictures speaking.)

"Mum, dad, Sirius!" Harry exclaimed.

"Harry is that you?" they all asked at the same time.

"Yeah" Harry said.

Sirius was the first to notice what happened to Harry's face.

"Hey Pronglet, what happened to your face?" Sirius asked.

That led to Harry explaining to them what had happened in the past 16 years.

Explaining his 16 years to his parents and what happened after Sirius died, to Sirius.

"Oh Harry, how horrible this is for you" his mother tried to comfort him.

"Oh, I am sorry I forgot, I feel so bad that I forgot, mum and dad, this is my girlfriend Ginny" Harry motioned for Ginny to sit next to him so she could see his parents.

"It is nice to finally meet you, in a sense" Harry's parents said.

"It's nice to finally meet you both, in a sense" Ginny replied, a little nervous. She never thought she'd actually talk to Harry's parents so she wasn't exactly prepared.

Harry's parents both laughed.

"Hey Red, I knew Harry would come to you eventually. He has his father's genes. He can't get away from red heads" Sirius said on a laugh.

Ginny laughed and Harry turned the Weasley red.

He was very embarrassed that he didn't ask Ginny out sooner and Sirius was making him feel worse about it.

"Son, what are you going to do about the Horcrux?" His father asked, trying to change the subject

"We have to find a way to destroy it. Now that I am 17 and the protection over me is gone, Voldemort can touch me, not to mention parts of his soul. It also doesn't help that he has my blood in him now" Harry answered getting a little frustrated.
