Hestia Jones
" Maybe we can find a spell to remove it." Hermione said, when they where discussing how to remove Harry's scar, later that day.
Harry sighed. " I don't know, Hermione. Maybe it's something even simpler."
Ginny leaned her head on Harry shoulder. " I think we should do some more research. We found one book, I bet we can find another."
Ron nodded. " Ya, theirs is no reason we couldn't. Hermione can find it." Then he said some thin just to Harry. " I'll kill myself if we have to more research."
Harry nodded in agreement.
" Fine." Hermione huffed. " I will. But you and Harry have to help, Ronald Weasley."
Ron rolled his eyes. " Whatever Hermione."
" Ronald please." Hermione said quietly.
Ron nodded, and kissed her softly. " Sorry Hermione."
Ginny rolled her eyes. " Ron, you're making me sick."
" Ginny, you make me sick, you and Harry hang all over each other. Sickening." Ron replied, pretending to barf.
Ginny laughed. " Okay, okay. I give."
Harry smiled wickedly, and kissed Ginny, after making a face at Ron.
" Stop! Stop, I told you not to snog my little sister in front of me." Ron protested.
Ginny giggled. " Yes Daddy."
Ron glared at her. " Don't we have stuff to do? Like find out how to get rid of the piece of Voldomort's soul in your boyfriends head?"
Ginny leaned her head against Harry's chest again, and rubbed his hand. " Fine, whatever."
Ron bit his lip. " Ginny, I didn't mean..."
" Don't worry about it Ron." Ginny replied, and picked up a book, and started flipping through it.
Harry shrugged his shoulders at Ron, and kissed Ginny's shiny red hair. He picked up another book, and started reading skimming it also.
" Harry, Harry come quickly!" Ginny screeched as she ran into the library, where Ron and him where pretending to read.
" Ginny what is it?" Harry asked quickly, grabbing her hand.
Ginny looked up at him with her bright brown eyes. " Harry, there was a Death Eater attack on a few of the order members. Hestia Jones, Remus, Tonks, and Kingsley where looking in book store in Diagon Alley, and Death Eaters attacked them." A tear slid down Ginny's freckled cheek.
" Hestia is dead Harry, and Tonks is in Saint Mungo's."
Harry stared at Ginny for a moment. " Where is Remus and Kingsley?"
" Remus is at the hospital with Tonks, she's in a coma Harry!" Ginny let out a small sob.
Harry hugged her. " It's okay, Gin. Where is Kingsley, and where did they take Hestia?"
" She died at the hospital. Some kind of spider attacked her, they weren't able to help. Kingsley is here, he's the one who told us." Ginny replied, looking at Harry fearfully.
" We need to get to Saint Mungo's now, come on." Harry decided immediately.
Ginny nodded, and wiped her eyes. Ron followed Harry and Ginny out the door, shutting it behind them.
" Harry where are you going?" Hermione said as they passed.
" Saint Mungo's." Harry replied.
Hermione shook her head. " We can't! We'll put everyone at the hospital in danger Harry. The Death Eaters might try again."
" Hermione, please, this is Tonks." Ginny whispered.
Hermione looked at him. " Alright, but I'm going with you. And we have to disguise ourselves." Her eye's glistened, and she was shaking slightly.
Ron nodded. " Hermione are you alright?"
Hermione nodded. " Yes. You can go first, now turn around."
Ron did as he was told, and a Hermione said something, and his hair turned from red to brown, and his skin became tan.
Ron examined himself in he mirror. " Nice, thanks."
Hermione nodded, and turned Ginny's hair from red to blond, and her eyes green.
Then she turned to Harry. She made his hair longer, so it covered his scar, and turned it brown.
Then she made herself have straight, black hair. " Alright, let's go."
When they reached the rooms the woman at the desk had told the Tonks was, they saw Remus sitting in a chair by her bed, and Tonks lying on the hospital bed.
" How is she?" Harry asked quietly.
Remus looked up at him. " You scared me. She's fine. The healers say she'll be healthy enough to be woken up by tonight." Remus rubbed her hand, softly.
" That's good." Ginny said, taking a seat on another chair.
Remus looked at Harry carefully. " I can hardly recognize you, what did you do?"
" Hermione did it." Ron said, smiling at Hermione.
Remus nodded. " Very good, Hermione. I don't think I've ever seen one that good."
Hermione blushed. " Thanks."
Remus nodded, and turned back to Tonks. " We didn't think of that. Maybe if we had..."
Harry shook his head. " No Remus, this could have happened any time."
Remus sighed. " I know, but we should have been more careful."
" Remus, she'll be okay." Ginny said gently.
Remus nodded. " I hope so."
The Healers woke Tonks up, just as they had planned, at six o'clock. She woke easily, and was almost immediately able to drive.
" Tonks, are you alright?" Remus asked gently, as he stroked her bubble-gum pink hair.
She looked at him, and nodded slightly. " What happened?"
" We where attacked by Death Eaters, and someone did the crutacius on you, one to many times." Remus said, trying to make it a joke.
" Hestia, is Hestia alright? I remember seeing her on the ground, not moving." Tonks asked, her voice not sounding anything like her own.
Harry looked at Remus, and nodded slightly.
" Hestia is dead, sweetheart." Remus said gently.
Tonks shook her head. " No! She can't be dead, I was right there...I..."
" Tonks, it's okay. You should rest, we'll go back home tomorrow." Remus said gently.
Tonks looked at him fearfully. " Remus, please don't leave me?"
Remus shook his head. " I won't Tonks, I won't."
The next day, Tonks was brought back to Black Manor, and was fine. She was very upset about Hestia's death, she hadn't expected it at all.
" We had just started to become friends, and now she's..." Tonks said, with tears in her eyes.
The next day, was time for another Order meeting, all of the members to be present.
Harry sat nervously waiting everyone to get into their seats, so he could announce officially announce Hestia's death.
Once everyone was seated, and attention was on him, Harry stood up.
" Hello everyone, I'm afraid I have bad news. I think most of you know already, but I have been told to say it officially." Harry took a deep breath. " Remus, Tonks, Kingsley, and Hestia where attacked by Death Eaters, two days ago in Diagon Alley. Tonks was put in a coma, and was sent to St. Mungo's." Harry smiled at Tonks kindly, and she nodded. Her hair was black today, as was her outfit. " Hestia Jones was killed. We don't know who did it, other than it was a Death Eater."
" It was Dolohov, who escaped with Malfoy." A voice said from the door.
Harry turned around, and saw Snape leaning in the doorframe.
" He came back gloating about it, was very proud of himself. He put Nymphadora Tonks in a coma, and killed Hestia Jones." He said, and walked into the room, sitting down in a seat next to Charlie.
" Nice you could make it, Professor." Harry said, saying the word professor as if it was a terrible thing.
Snape glared at him. " The Dark Lord was watching me, so as I'm sure you see, it was hard to get away."
Harry turned his head. " We will have a memorial service for Hestia on Thursday, in two days." Harry looked around the room. " I think that's all, is there anything else?" When no one said anything he stood up, to get ready to leave.
Snape stood up. " Yes, there is." Harry sat back down slowly. " The Dark Lord called a meeting last night, all of us attended. He said that since none of us where able to bring you to him, he was going to do it himself. He's planning an attack on Hogwarts, in a week. He says he's sure as soon as you find out, you'll come." Snape sat back down quietly, looking at Harry.
No one said anything, just stared at Harry, and each other, quietly.
" Well," Harry said, finally. " I don't quite know what to do. I can't kill Voldomort unless I have destroyed all seven horcruxes. There is still one horcrux that I have no gotten rid of, my scar." Harry looked at Dumbledore, who was looking remarkably calm.
" Harry, I have an idea, but it is quite dangerous." Dumbledore looked at Harry.
He nodded. " Go on, sir."
" I think we should try to cut it open, Harry." Dumbledore said quietly.
Harry nodded slowly, trying not to look surprised. " That makes sense, let's do it."
A/N Oh, my flippen gosh. This chapter was a pain in the butt. I was sick, and when I'm sick, I don't want to sit up, never mind sit straight and type. So, I wrote half of it, then got sick, then got better, and wrote the other half. I'm sorry if it's a piece of crap, but whatever. Anyways, I got no reviews on the last chapter, so unless I get some on this one, I'm going to write a few of the chapter ahead of time, and not update until I get reviews. I know you must think that I shouldn't do that, but I know that are people who are looking at my story, and not reviewing (which btw, drives me insane, but I'm insane already, so w/e.), and even have me on your favorites list, and I haven't heard from you. Arg, this is odd.
