a/n: Thank you everybody who has Story alerted this story or added to their favorites or just read. But special thanks to the ones that reviewed, it's always good to have some motivation to continue.

I know I promised it would be up by Friday but I've had a lot of trouble with this chapter I just didn't know how to get started. I didn't want to write about the memorial or the funeral, but I didn't want to ignore it either, so I decided I would just add it in there a bit, but not go into detail. Sorry if this chapter doesn't live up to expectations, the next one will be better, I promise!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything Harry Potter, which I was smart enough to have thought of it first though ;)

The next day went by way too slowly. The memorial had been held at the Hogwarts grounds, which were all repaired overnight by a whole group of volunteers who wanted to help out. It was so sad, all the names that were on that list, it made it even more real. There were a lot of gasps with each name, people only just finding out when people they knew passed. I heard a lot of names that I recognized, not friends necessarily, but people that I knew from class or just from around. It's unimaginable to know that so many people have passed.

Ron sat next to me during the whole service; he squeezed my hands when there was a familiar name on the list. When Fred's name was called I looked at him. He had a blank face, and I wondered if he was even breathing. I worry about him, but he seems to be handling it well I put my hand on his arm for extra support, so he knows I'm here for him. This is appreciated as he forces a small smile on his face, before looking back at professor Mcgonagall who is holding the speech.

When the memorial was over thought it was best to head for the Burrow. The castle was so damaged all the wards that had been on it before have disappeared, so this allowed us to apparate from Hogwarts grounds.

I apparated just outside the protective wards that were around the burrow. I wasn't even sure that the wards were still up, but it was normalcy for me, because every time I had been to the burrow this is the place I'd land. I looked around and noticed that the others thought about it the same way. We started to walk to the burrow, which gladly was still intact. Nobody dared to speak a word. Mr. Weasley held and were the first to enter the Burrow.

It's been over a year since I had been at the Burrow, the wedding actually was the last time we were there. It feels so good to be back although it was nothing like it used to be filled with laughter and yelling, I think it will be a while before everything turns back to normal.

Fred's funeral had been held at the burrow, it was a beautiful service. It started out really sad, but when George made his speech he told everyone that this wasn't what Fred would have wanted. He would have wanted everyone to live and be happy, that's what he would have wanted himself and he said they had always been Gred and Forge, so they should listen to him, because they were practically the same person. This made everyone laugh and realize that he was right.

The days after were still hard, but everyone kept George's words in mind and tried their best to be happy. Now, A week has passed since Fred's funeral. The burrow was a lot livelier now that it had been a week ago. I am reading a book in the sitting room, while Harry and Ron play wizard chess at the table. It is almost like we are back at Hogwarts. This feels good. There had been no time on the run to just read a book for fun, and this past week there were so many chores to do around the house that there was hardly anytime to relax. I guess that a war doesn't leave much time to keep up a clean household. I think it's good that is getting back into her normal routine, although she no longer wears the content look while making dinner, instead you can see in her face that she's trying to look for anything to keep her occupied, so she doesn't have too much time to think about what happened. My thoughts get interrupted as I hear shouting.

" Ron, Harry, Hermione. Would you please come in here dears?"

We all look at each other, wondering what this is about. I can see Ron shrug as we all move towards the kitchen where 's voice came from.

When we enter the kitchen we can see the whole family is seated at the long kitchen table looking at us expectedly. If I didn't know any better this would look like some kind of intervention. I don't have more time to think about what this could mean, because moves to stand up and starts to speak.

" Today at the ministry, the media ambushed me. They wanted to know everything about what you three had been up to, it's good that we have the wards up around the burrow or they would all over you. Well anyways it made us realize we don't even know what happened to you after the wedding. We think we deserve to know what has happened"

At this I freeze. We knew this was coming I just didn't prepare for it to happen right now. They do deserve to know but this is going to be so hard. I thought we would have time to discuss how we were going to handle this particular conversation, like what we're going to leave out of the story, but I guess we don't have time for that anymore. I look at Ron and Harry and I can see them thinking the same.

" I know it will be hard, but we need to know to understand. It might help deal with things as well" Ginny adds. I'm sure Harry told her a bit of the story, but she's always been left in the dark. If I were in her place I would have demanded any kind of information much sooner. It wasn't fair to her, but we couldn't take her with us, it was too dangerous and she wasn't even of age yet, besides Harry would have never allowed her to come and put her in harms way. It really was for the best.

"Yes, like how you managed to break into Gringotts and what you were thinking doing so" Percy spoke up.

" Oi, Percy, if that's the only reason you're here why don't you go back to abandoning your family and work with those death eaters at the ministry" Ron starts to shout. I can see his ears redden out of anger. Even though Percy came back and fought with them at the end of war, Ron has a hard time forgiving his brother for abandoning his family for his job at the ministry.

"Ron, Stop it. It's al in the past. Now will you please tell us what happened? We were so worried when you disappeared at the wedding and we didn't see you at all for a year. We didn't know anything, why didn't you tell us before? " Ron immediately calmed down after hearing his mother's worried voice, and by reading his expression I can see he's starting to feel guilty.

" I'm sorry mum. We wanted to tell you, we just couldn't risk it. We weren't planning to leave at the wedding, but then the attack happened and we didn't have a choice."

" Ron, They're right. They do deserve to know what happened? We left them in the dark for too long." This is the first time Harry decides to speak up. This must be hard for him as well. He has the most information he knows about everything. I'm sure there are still things that Ron and I don't know about what happened. We weren't always together, the three of us. Harry told us most of it, but I guess in the middle of the war we just didn't have time to stand around and chat, now did we?

"Yeah I know, but where do we even start?" Ron says while he's taking a seat at the table, mentally preparing himself for what was coming next.

" I guess we will have to start at the beginning, the horcruxes" I tell them while taking a seat next to Ron. I'm going to need him for support if we're really doing this. Harry moves to sit in the chair next to me and nods.

" Horcruxes? What's a Horcruxs?" Bill asks them. Well this is going to be a long night, is all I can think about.

a/n: I'm so sorry for this chapter. It's short, there is not a lot happening, but I really deleted it like 8 times now and It just wouldn't come out right. So I decided to leave it at this hoping to get over this bump on the road and get away from this weak writing. I promise in the next chapter I will let them explain about what happened when they were on the run and how the reactions of the family will be. Also it will be a longer chapter. Don't be too harsh on me for this chapter. I tried my best.
