The group followed Professor McGonagall to the Headmaster's office. Inside the office they saw Andrew and Eveline Potter and Orion Black looking very thoughtful. " How is he Grandpa Andy?" blurted out Draco. "He's fine. He's with Hermione now. They'll be back to the castle by the evening. Tomorrow he will want to talk to you. Listen to what he says first then react. Whatever he is going to tell you is pretty important. So listen carefully to whatever he says, okay?" said Andrew. Everyone nodded their consent and as they were about to leave, the fireplace in Dumbledore's office roared to life and amidst the green flames, Harry Potter appeared supported by Hermione Greengrass. With a chorus of "Harry!" everyone rushed to hug him but he held up a hand and said," The Goblin healer said that I've not fully recovered so I should be taking things slow." Everyone nodded their assent. Ron was about to say something when the door to the office opened and in rushed Madam Pomfrey. "Ah. You're here Mister Potter. The Goblin healer contacted me when you insisted on coming back to school. She said that you need to rest more." she said. Harry nodded his consent and asked,"Madam Pomfrey is it okay if my friends accompany me to the Hospital Wing." Giving her consent she led the way to the Hospital with Draco and Ron taking him over from Hermione with the others bringing the rear. As the door to the office closed behind them, they heard Orion speak," So Albus what are you going to do about the boy who attacked Harry? You're quite lucky that Walburga knows nothing of this." The door closed before they could hear Dumbledore's reply. "Damn I wanted to hear Professor Dumbledore's reply." whined Draco from where he was supporting Harry.
"You can go and ask him to tell you Draco." smirked Neville. "You are evil Mogul." said Draco. Neville just smirked in reply. They soon reached the Hospital Wing. Madam Pomfrey led them to the end of the hospital and put him to bed. At the head of the bed was a bronze plaque which said," This bed was the official bed of James Andrew Potter. Now this bed is the official bed of Harry James Potter for the entirety of his Hogwarts Career." The boys snickered. "Laugh all you want boys, why don't you look at the beds next to Harry's?" she asked. The beds next to Harry belonged to Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Lucius Malfoy, Frank Longbottom, Arthur Weasley and Fabian and Gideon Prewett. There probably was one which housed Pettigrew too but she had removed it. The remaining boys watched in awe. "Everyone except Remus used to be in the Hospital Wing quite frequently due to accidents in Quidditch. Remus used to be the commentator so he wasn't in that frequently due to Quidditch but the other thing." she said. While Madam Pomfrey was telling the others the stories of their parents, Harry had changed and was comfortably settled in his bed. The others crowded besides his bed and he said." Madam Pomfrey could you conjure chairs for them?" With a wave of her wand, chairs appeared and all sat down. "So whatever I am going to tell you should not leave the Hospital Wing. The night Voldemort tried to kill me, he was going to use my death to turn an unknown object into a Horcrux. Now a Horcrux is a container which holds a part of the soul of the owner, if it is intact, the owner does not die." "So basically Voldemort is immortal?" asked Draco and Neville. "No. You see the night he tried to kill me, a part of his soul latched itself onto me. The piece of the soul was the reason why it took me so long to heal from the coma. When we were in Gringotts, I took part in a ritual where the soul piece was removed from me. I woke up as soon it left me and due to the amount of power I have I managed to know what other artifacts he used to anchor him to the mortal world. "So what are they?" asked Ron and Daphne. "A Ring belonging to the Gaunts, Helga Hufflepuff's cup, Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem, his diary and a locket belonging to Salazar Slytherin. The cup is in Bellatrix Lestrange's vault, the diary is at the Sanctum Manor, the locket and the ring are unknown and the diadem is in Hogwarts. Now before you say that we go and find it, we cant as we cant destroy it yet because we have no means of doing so. So we wait for me to heal. Because when I do I will be taking the test of the Founders. I have no idea what it entails so don't ask me what it is." said Harry. The group nodded as Harry was the de facto leader and whatever he said was followed as an order. "Aunt Cissa has managed to obtain the cup and it is secure at a new vault which is specifically going to be used for the Horcruxes. The aurors will be raiding Sanctum Manor as soon as we have a method of destroying them. And we'll be destroying the one in Hogwarts as soon as we can." "I researched them over. It says that a Horcrux can be destroyed using Basilisk Venom and Fiendfyre. We have to damage it beyond repair." said Hermione. As the group looked at her, she explained," When it was confirmed that Harry had a horcrux in him, i was looking for ways to destroy them." The group digested this news rather well.
After a few hours Harry felt better and after checking him over Madam Pomfrey let him go. Just in time as dinner was about to start. The Slytherin table looked rather forlorn.
