Hi, again, well, I'm hoping that I'll be updating every few days from now on, but I can't make any promises. Anyway, here we go. Last time, we ended with the four of them returning to the castle. I know that I haven't updated this for a while, but I'm not going to make excuses 'cause I just completely forgot to update at all. So, I'm updating now 'cause I don't feel well and there's no one except me and my sister in the house so I won't get told off. However until the next school holiday my Dad has decided that the internet is going off when he comes home which is usually at 10 or 11pm so there will be no updates after then unless I have one of my all nighters which I probably will soon as they occur regularly and I haven't had one since the night my Grandpa died and I'm hoping that I'll not be having one for sometime as I know that I'll be a crabbit sod, but anyway, let's see what happens next

When the quartet arrived back at the castle they were greeted by Mrs Weasley who led them to the common room where the rest of the family was obviously waiting for them. They sat down with the rest of the family and Mr Weasley spoke. "Well, the house is safe, so we can go back." he said "Harry, Hermione, you'll be coming back with us."

"What about my parents?" Hermione asked

"They have been located, they're fine, you can go get them after Fred's funeral." he replied. Hermione nodded and sat quietly

"Are the Dursleys ok?" Harry asked, more concerned about his Aunt and cousin than his Uncle.

"They're fine." Molly answered "You can go see them at the same time as Hermione leaves to find her parents. Harry smiled slightly at the knowledge and sat back.

"What about Fred's funeral?" Charlie asked

Mr and Mrs Weasley shared a look, and the former answered "The day after tomorrow, 11am at the Burrow." he said "We're speading that through all our family and friends."

Their children and Harry and Hermione stayed silent. Eventually, Mrs Weasley sent them to pack to go back to the burrow.

Okay, I just wanted a short chapter here, the next will be up as soon as I can post it.
