This is Albus's point of view on what happened in the last few chapters.

Albus was slightly traumatized to say the least after hearing what Hermione had told his mom. What had made his Aunt Hermione react like that? Were his father's memories really that awful?
Even with his extensive knowledge Al had no idea what was going on. He understood that his dad was having dreams about his past…but what could possibly provoke all this attention? Albus sadly concluded that he knew very little about his dad. Sure he knew his favorite color and that his weakness was a good muggle film, but how his dad had grown up was surrounding by smoke that Al just couldn't see through.
He spent the next five minutes searching for books to read up on. He had to be careful as many of the books appeared to be fictions on portraying his dad. Al needed the facts. As he collected his sixth one, his Uncle Ron came into the room and declared that they would be spending the rest of the day at the burrow with Grandma and Grandpa Weasley.
"Why?" asked Albus.
"Ummmm…"
Uncle Ron was dead awful at lying and Al could tell he was trying to come up with some excuse that only Hugo and Lily would believe.
"Well, your aunt and I are going back to your house to help your dad…clean." He said.
James rolled his eyes and walked out of the room and down the stairs. James was the kind of person that went with the flow of things. He was very curious (a trait that came with all Potters), but he never sought out the cause of the things he was curious about. This was in fact the complete opposite of Albus.
"We all cleaned the house yesterday," he said smartly.
"Oh…um…did I say clean? I meant…well…" stuttered Ron.
"What's taking so long?" said Aunt Hermione as she came into the room.
"Why are you guys going to my house?" Al asked fixing her with his signature "tell-me-everything-and-I-will-stop-asking-questions" look.
"We're going to go and help your dad fix something he bought today." She said with ease.
Albus could tell she had planned on Ron failing with his lie so she had that excuse ready before he even asked.
"Come on, into the fireplace." She walked back out and down the stairs without another word.
Knowing he wasn't going to get anything else out of her, he followed with an obvious frown on his face and the pile of books clutched tightly in his arms.

It had been an hour since he arrived at the Burrow with his cousins and siblings. In all that time he searched every single one of the books and he found nothing he didn't already know. Al knew about how his dad defeated Voldemort. In all the books that was the only thing it talked about. It didn't even say how!
He knew it would have been hard and scary, and that it was an amazing feat, but there must be something more to it. Something he accidently skipped over or something they didn't put in any books, this Albus was sure of. He slowly turned the pages of one of the books for a second time and finally, his eyes fluttered shut.

The next morning Al woke up and found himself still at the Burrow. Usually his dad would have flooed him home and levitated him up to his bed. Apparently this time was different. Albus couldn't help but wonder if that was how things were supposed to happen.
Al figured that his parents never came to get him and that Aunt Hermione and Uncle Ron stayed with him for he saw the small shape of Hugo on the floor a little bit away from him. Where were they? Why weren't they home yet? All these questions swirled through his head at once.
As he thought the rest of the children finally woke up and walked out of the room. Albus ended up picking up his books again and re-reading for a final time.

The party was in full swing and everyone was having fun…except Albus. He went back up to his room a little while after his father took him down. His fear heightened. His dad was suddenly happy, ecstatic even. WHY! Al's head was hurting with all of the questions he had.
He pushed them aside and vowed that he would find out the answers to all of his questions eventually. For now, he decided it wouldn't hurt to have a little fun. He walked downstairs once again to be greeted by Rose who pulled him outside to try and stop whatever James and Fred were doing.
