A/N: This chapter is really short. I am sorry for that, but I believe it works well :)
Chapter 16: The Weasleys and Ryder
The Daily Prophet is sad to report the loss of some of the notorious red heads who graced our world for many years. Aurthur and Molly Weasley have been sentanced to the Dementor's Kiss upon the discovery of their home last night. Sources say it looked as though a fight broke out. Ronald Weasley and Ginerva Weasley appear to have been tortured to insanity. It is also clear that Mr. and Mrs. Weasley are responsible. Extensive research of their wands and minds show they tortured their own children mercilessly. This reporter hopes that the wizarding world learns something from this unfortunate instance of parental neglect.

It was late at night when we broke in and I was dressed as Ryder, clasping Tom's hand. Severus and Sirius were with us going into the house as well as the Twins. Fred and George were wrecking the house they had grown up in. We stole the wands of Mr. and Mrs. Weasley as they slept. They all awoke bound and gagged. I stode before them Tom's hand about my waist and a twisted smile upon my face. I removed my make-up and casually pulled my hair back. Ginny was the first to notice. She screamed. We were forced to silence them in the uproar that followed. Arthur and Mally were watching as we tortured their children. We wiped their memories and implated ones of them torturing Ronald and Ginerva. It was poetic justice in a way. I felt free for once in my life. Truly free.
The twins entered then, astonished at the skill it took to do all we had done that night. The best part was the the blood that covered us as we aparated home. Tom pulled me into his arms when we got there and kissed my forehead. I smiled up at him. He reached into a pocket and dropped to his knees. "Will you marry me?" he asked. My answer was as simple as anything. "Yes." I said watching as the red and green swirled tourmaline stone set in a silver band was slid upon my finger.
Two weeks later...
Ryder Parker was seen at the Ministry of Magic this morning with Hogwarts new headmaster Severus Snape, Minister Lucius Malfoy, and a tall dark haired red eyed man. It was at a press comfrence for the new educational reform that she stepped forward make-up free to reveal a lightning bolt scar on her forehead. All those in witness were shocked to discover Ryder Parker is really the one and only Harry Potter! The unidentified man has been so identified as Tom Marvalo Riddle, former You-Know-Who. It was also announced that he is exaunorated for his past crimes by the Minister after seeing memories of his. The only information given to the press was that Harry Potter is happy and loved by Tom Riddle and Albus Dumbledore was the cause of all the deaths surrounding Tom. Sufficent evidence was apparently given. We hope to see no more deaths and a newer better wizarding world.
