AN: We are now into the reading. I will not be taking parts directly from the books as I don't want this to be removed as my last attempt was. Instead I will be summarising what happens in between the reader's statements. I know that when I read these types of fics I usually just follow the comments of the readers anyway.
In this story nobody reading except the trio know what a Horcrux is. This is because it is a very rare and dark piece of magic. Slughorn and Dumbledore knew because they were older and more experienced than others. I chose to include this one chapter from HBP because I thought it would be easier than having the trio explain everything. The next chapter will start DH.

Chapter 2: Horcruxes
The girl from the future, no one understood why she wouldn't give her name, started to read.
Chapter 23
"Wait, why are we starting at such a late chapter?" Asked Hermione.
"Because only you, Ron and Harry understand everything and that needs to change for the parts about your adventure to make sense." The girl answered. "So we are starting with something that happened last year. After this chapter we will skip ahead to this summer.
When the chapter title Horcruxes was read no one noticed Harry, Ron and Hermione exchange concerned looks.
The book was talking about Harry having had Felix Felicis which made several people look up surprised, finally Remus asked the question many wanted the answer to. "Why did you have Felix Felicis Harry?"
"Ya? And what exactly were you attempting to get lucky at sneaking around out of bounds?" Asked George, wiggling his eyebrows at Harry.
Ginny scowled at the twins who were snickering while Ron looked slightly sick and Harry slightly annoyed. Ginny had neglected to inform her brothers and parents that she and Harry had been together. She figured they would tell them during the holiday, then of course Harry had dumped her.
When the book mentioned Harry bumping into Peeves the twins winced and Remus groaned "tough luck Harry." At the surprised looks of Molly and Hermione, he grinned. "What, I wasn't a marauder for nothing."
Harry frowned when his invisibility cloak was mentioned; he didn't know who in the Order knew about it.
"His what Mr. Potter?" Inquired Professor McGonagall.
"Um, my Invisibility Cloak." Harry responded sheepishly. "I assumed you knew."
Professor McGonagall tightened her lips and looked away.
"How did you get it Harry?" Asked Remus, "last I heard James had lent it to Albus."
Harry just smirked at him. Remus playfully scowled back.
In the book Harry was arguing with the Fat Lady and telling her he had something important he had had to do. "What were you doing Harry?" Asked Tonks.
Harry smiled at her. "I was attending the funeral of an acromentula."
Charlie looked up at him. "Really? That's so cool-" He broke off seeing his mother's glare.
"That's not very fair." Bill remarked at the password being changed at midnight.
"I don't remember that happening." Said Minerva.
At the news that it was Dumbledore that had sent Harry out into the grounds Tonks perked up. "Dumbledore wanted you to go to an acromantula's funeral?"
When it was revealed that Dumbledore had left the school again Ginny spoke up. "Why did Dumbledore keep leaving the school last year? Where was he going?" She directed the question to the Order members in the room but it was Harry who answered her.
"I think you are about to find out." He smiled slightly at Ginny and she was taken back to remembering times with him spent alone in quiet areas of the grounds. Shaking herself out of it she listened back to what the girl from the future was reading.
When Nearly Headless Nick responded to Harry asking where Dumbledore was with where the Bloody Baron was the twins burst out into laughter as did the girl from the future. When everyone turned to her she said "long story. My brother and the Bloody Baron and a glass of lemonade." She then doubled over in laughter again and it took several moments before she was able to settle down enough to read.
The book said that Harry had secured a memory.
"Wait, what memory? What is going on?!" Molly was close to shouting.
"Molly, I believe we will find out if we keep reading." Kingsley spoke for the first time since the reading had begun.
When Dumbledore greeted Harry warmly in the book Minerva's lips grew even tighter. "Of course that would be Albus's question. Nothing about a student being out of bed past curfew." She sounded very frustrated.
"Yes well, Albus was always negligent in his duties." Aberforth exclaimed, looking almost angry.
When it was revealed that the memory was from Slughorn everyone looked up, except the trio and the future girl, startled.
"What exactly is going on? Why are you meeting with Albus Harry?" Remus inquired.
"Last year I was getting private lessons from him about Voldemort." Harry explained.
Ginny was starting to get concerned. Why was Harry so involved in the war anyway?
"Please let's continue reading many of your questions will be answered by the end of this chapter." Without waiting confirmation the girl from the future continued.
"What's a pensieve?" Ginny asked when the book mentioned it for the first time.
"It's a stone basin which allows you to review thoughts and memories." Harry told her.
When Tom Riddle was mentioned Ginny shuddered. Harry saw and wished he could go put his arms around her and comfort her but knew he couldn't, it was too dangerous for her if he continued showing how much she meant to him.
When Slughorn told Riddle that he would be Minister in a short time the room grew silent until Molly broke it. "Now there is a disturbing thought. Voldemort positioned high within the ministry."
"He does have servants there Molly. He is getting more powerful every day. We must hope the ministry can continue to withstand the pressure he is putting on us." Kingsley said. Nobody noticed the girl from the future wince slightly.
"And yet he didn't. His wizarding relatives weren't decent at all." Harry murmured when Slughorn said that Riddle must have come from a good family.
The book mentioned the names of some of the other boys. "So this was the group of first Death Eaters." Tonks said.
When the book mentioned that Riddle was still there after the dismissal Minerva frowned. "What is he still doing there?" She asked. "He was dismissed."
"What are Horcruxes?" Ginny asked when in the book Riddle asked what Slughorn knew about them.
"I've never heard of them." Said Minerva, confused. "Remus? Kingsley?"
"No." They both answered.
Everyone then turned to Harry who shuddered. "I think they are about to be explained. Can we read through this quickly and then we," he gestured to himself and Ron and Hermione, "might be able to explain a bit more?"
Everyone nodded, but Ginny frowned. She wondered how much Harry had been keeping from her last year. This would be before they started dating.
In the book Slughorn was trying to figure out why Riddle wanted to know and it was apparent that Riddle didn't want to tell him. Ginny flinched when it described how much of a master manipulator Tom Riddle was and once again Harry suppressed the urge to go comfort her.
At the brief description given on what a Horcrux was there was silence in the room for a moment and then…
"WHAT?" Was the general exclamation.
"So that's how he survived." Remus said; Harry nodded in response.
"What did Horace think he was doing telling him about this?" Minerva exclaimed then she started muttering about idiotic colleagues.
"And Albus is just sharing this with you for fun?" Aberforth grumped.
Ginny shifted in her seat; she was starting to get a bad feeling about where this story was headed.
When, in the book, Harry remembered the quote from Voldemort from 2 years previously everyone looked around uncomfortably, but no one seemed to want to ask the question. Finally Harry took it upon himself to answer without anyone needing to ask. "Ya, that was something he said right after coming back."
Everyone shuddered and Ginny tried to catch Harry's eye to give him a look of sympathy but he was determinedly looking down.
Everyone in the room nodded when Slughorn said that death would be preferable to how you exist with a Horcrux.
Once again shudders swept through the listeners when the book described the longing in Tom Riddle's eyes. None of them liked to think that he had made such things.
Tom Riddle began to ask for details about exactly how a Horcrux is made.
"Can Slughorn really not see what he is asking here?!" Exclaimed Arthur. "Is he really so blind as to not see what is going on?"
"Mr. Weasley, Voldemort is a master manipulator. And Slughorn is gullible to flattery; it is how Harry persuaded him to give up this memory." Hermione tried to explain.
"Arthur, Miss Granger is correct. Tom Riddle could be…charming when he wanted to be." Minerva spoke with a strange tint to her voice.
Ginny gulped. She was well aware of how Tom Riddle was able to charm someone. "Did you know him Professor?" Ron asked.
"He was a year below me at Hogwarts." Minerva responded in a tone that clearly said the subject was closed.
When it was revealed that a Horcrux was made by killing Tonks exploded. "That's just sick!" No one else said anything but silently they agreed. To take a life just to prevent yourself from dying would be unthinkable to any of them but Aberforth was wondering if Albus might have been capable of it. After all he had allowed Ariana to be killed on his mission for the damnable hallows.
When Tom Riddle continued questioning how a Horcrux was made Slughorn objected by asking if he looked like a killer causing Harry to snort. All the other eyes in the place turned to look at him.
"Oh come on!" He exclaimed. "If there is one there is one thing Slughorn is not it's a killer." The twins joined him in laughing and moments later so did Ginny and Ron.
Finally once everyone was quiet again the future girl started reading.
When Tom Riddle asked if one could split their soul more than once everyone in the room tensed while the golden trio exchanged looks.
Then when he asked about splitting it into seven pieces there was a single moment of silence and then it seemed like a bomb had exploded.
"He ripped his soul apart seven times?" Remus yelled.
"What was-" Fred started
"He thinking." Finished George.
"Bloody hell!" Screamed Tonks.
"That is going to make it very difficult to kill him." Kingsley's usually calm voice was strained.
Aberforth had stood and started pacing; while Mr and Mrs Weasley had grown ashen and were exchanging worried glances.
Charlie and Bill were looking around the room their mouths opening and closing as they did so.
Minerva was clutching her chest and whispering "Oh my Godric" Over and over again.
Ginny had stayed perfectly still and was looking intently at Harry, Ron and Hermione who were shifting in their seats uncomfortably. "That's where you three are going." She stated it as fact rather than asking. Her voice cut through the rest of the noise and everyone turned to look at the trio.
Ron and Hermione looked to Harry for his decision. Figuring that everyone was going to figure it out over the course of the reading Harry just nodded. With that single motion Ginny looked down dejectedly. Harry didn't want her help. He could have told her this last year and he didn't. She would have gone with him but he didn't want that, he didn't want her. She felt like crying.
"You most certainly aren't-" Molly started.
"Mrs. Weasley we have to. It was a job left to just the three of us." Harry tried to explain.
"But Harry now that we know we can help. You have to acknowledge that with our help it would be much easier." Remus tried to reason.
At this the girl from the future looked up from the book. "I'm sorry R-Remus but as I said at the beginning no one will remember the reading until you have the all the events have happened." She looked around the room as if daring them to challenge her. Now, we have to continue." No one noticed her stumbling over Remus's name or the sad look that entered her eyes as she said it.
"At least Horace is finally starting to realize." Minerva muttered quietly when the book said that Slughorn looked like he was regretting the conversation.
In the book Slughorn told Riddle that Dumbledore was strict about not telling people about Horcruxes.
"Well of course he is! Why would he want students learning that type of thing?" Tonks said.
When the book described Riddle looking slightly less human everyone shuddered. They had all seen the less than human version of Voldemort and it scared them all.
In the book Harry and Dumbledore left the pensieve and Dumbledore said that he had been waiting for the information for a long time.
"He already suspected?" Whispered Arthur. "Why hadn't he done anything?"
"He had Mr. Weasley. It's where he kept disappearing to last year." Harry told him.
"He was only 16 there?" Asked Charlie when Dumbledore remarked that Tom Riddle had been the same age as Harry was currently.
"Yes and he'd already made at least one." With Hermione's statement everyone shuddered.
In the book Dumbledore was telling Harry that what Tom Riddle was really after was information on making more than one Horcrux. Dumbledore said that nobody had ever done it before.
"Nobody else has been-" Started Fred.
"-crazy enough to try." George finished. For once everyone nodded their heads at the twins statement.
When they got to the part where Dumbledore said that four years ago he had been given proof of a Horcrux Harry looked up, aware of what was about to be revealed. He wished they could skip this part, he didn't want to put Ginny through realizing what the diary was. He knew it was unreasonable but he just wanted to protect her.
Ginny's head snapped up when in the book Dumbledore confirmed that the diary had been a Horcrux. She went from feeling dejected to furious all at once. "YOU KNEW?" She cried out. "You found out what that thing was and you didn't TELL ME!" She was screaming now.
Harry looked up at her. "You didn't need to know Ginny."
"Don't you think I had a right to know?" Ginny shouted at him. Everyone else was looking between them confused, only Ron and Hermione knew why it was such a big deal.
"I was just trying to protect you." Harry said and continued before Ginny could interrupt, "besides Dumbledore said I could only tell Ron and Hermione."
Ginny scoffed at that. "Oh ya, the precious golden trio and their secrets. Well guess what Harry, I kept no secrets from you! I told you everything!" At this point everyone who didn't know that they had been together were really confused. Bill made to ask what was going on but saw Ron waving him to stop.
"You think I wanted to keep secrets from you Gin?" Harry asked, confusing everyone in the room except Ginny and future girl with the nickname. All her brother's knew that you called Ginny 'Gin' at your own peril. "I told you things I hadn't told anyone else too."
Ginny looked down remembering all the things Harry had shared in those wonderful weeks. "I know that Harry. But that still didn't give you the right to keep this a secret. I should have known." Ginny looked down and Harry thought that maybe he should have told her before. He walked to her and pulled her into his arms. Everyone was shocked when instead of pushing him away Ginny leaned into his embrace.
"Okay, what the hell is going on?!" Bill shouted.
"Well Bill, it looks like Harrikins and our ickle Gin-Gin have finally owned up to their feelings." The twins said together, grinning widely.
"WHAT?" Charlie and Bill yelled.
Molly squealed with delight.
"Is that so?" Arthur questioned the two hugging teenagers. When it became clear that they were oblivious to the conversation attention turned to Ron and Hermione.
"Well, ya." Ron said.
"Why didn't they-"
"Tell us?" The twins asked.
Hermione answered. "Well, they uh, broke up at the end of the year?"
"What? Why?" Molly looked crestfallen.
"Isn't it obvious?" Remus asked. "It's the mission. Harry is too noble to make her wait while he hunts for the horcruxes and to put her in danger of being more connected to him."
That seemed to finally break through to the hugging couple. "But I don't care!" Ginny exclaimed. "Don't you care at all about me Harry?" Ginny almost whimpered.
"You know I care Gin, I love you." Harry whispered to her. Everyone in the room looked over at them in surprise.
"Then why are you leaving me?" Ginny actually did whimper this time.
The girl from the future, who had been watch with a bemused expression, finally spoke up. "Oh for Godric's sake Mom, he comes back." Then she clamped her hand over her mouth when everyone turned to look at her.
"What did you call me?" Ginny choked out raising her head from Harry's chest.
"I called you mom. Let's finish this chapter and then I'll explain, okay?" Ginny nodded and pulled Harry down to sit on the couch with her.
Ginny shuddered again when Dumbledore remarked once more that the diary had been a horcrux and Harry pulled her closer to him.
When the book was discussing why Voldemort had made the diary a horcrux it said that Tom Riddle couldn't claim credit for opening the chamber the first time.
"Who did he blame for it?" Asked Charlie, trying to get over what he had just witnessed between his sister and her apparent ex?-boyfriend.
It was Minerva who answered curtly, "Hagrid." Everyone who had not already known nodded, understanding finally why Hagrid had been expelled.
The book revealed that Harry had destroyed the Horcrux in the diary.
Ginny looked up at Harry and seemed to hesitate for a moment before quickly leaning up and kissing him on the cheek.
Harry looked down at her, a questioning look on his face. "That was a thank you for killing it." She then proceeded to slap him. "That was for not telling me sooner what it was." She then leaned her head back on the shoulder of a very confused Harry Potter.
Dumbledore in the book explained that he believed Voldemort had multiple Horcruxes because of what Harry told him Voldemort had said when he was returned to his body.
"Thank Godric." Tonks said when Dumbledore confirmed that no other wizard had created more than one Horcrux.
In the book Dumbledore said it made sense that Voldemort would be the first as he often went beyond usual evil.
"It is true-" Fred started.
"-Voldemort is a very crazy type of evil." George finished.
When Harry finally clarified that what Voldemort had done was made himself immortal by killing Ron spoke up.
"You just realized it then?" Ron started chuckling. "Way to go mate."
When Dumbledore explained that if he had only used an elixir of life without his horcruxes he would eventually die like a normal person.
"That's the way it's supposed to be." Arthur said.
Aberforth scowled. 'filthy hypocrite' he thought to himself. He had not forgotten his brother's obsession with the so called deathly hallows.
When Harry in the book confirmed with Dumbledore that Voldemort had made seven horcruxes everyone in the room grew somber.
In the book Dumbledore clarified that it was only 6 horcruxes, the seventh was piece was in Voldemort's body.
"That's not much better." Said Remus. "One less isn't going to make a huge difference." The others in the room nodded along with his thinking.
Dumbledore in the book clarified that there were only four since Harry had killed one, and he had killed another.
"He did?" Tonks asked. Harry just nodded.
Dumbledore clarified that he had injured his hand by destroying the horcrux and the Order members nodded sadly, he hadn't told any of them what had happened.
"So that's what happened to his hand." Minerva said. "He wouldn't tell any of us."
Dumbledore explained that his and Snape's skills together had saved him everyone grew angry.
Growls were heard throughout the room at the potions master's name. Harry clenched his fist so tight that his knuckles turned white, eventually Ginny reached over and took his fist into her hands gently stroking it until he loosened his grip slightly.
Dumbledore mentioned that he had found the ring in the Gaunt's ruined house.
"The Gaunts?" Kingsley asked. So Harry briefly explained the other memories Dumbledore had shown him. By the end everyone was silent in shock so the girl took it upon herself to fill the silence by continuing to read.
Dumbledore confirmed that there was no cause for celebration as four horcruxes still remained.
"Four? You have to find and destroy four of these things?" Molly was close to tears at this point.
When, in the book, Harry discussed the possibility of the horcruxes being random objects such as old potion bottles the twins burst out laughing. "Can you imagine-"
"-A little bit of Voldemort hidden in a tin can?"
Harry scowled playfully at them.
Ginny shuddered when the diary was mentioned again and Harry started rubbing soothing circles into her back.
When Harry and Dumbledore's discussion turned to other possibilities of what the horcruxes could be everyone thought back to the memories Harry had described to them. "The locket and cup." Minerva guessed.
Ron blinked when in the book Harry gave the same answer as McGonagall had just given. "Harry mate, thinking like McGonagall? That's downright scary." Minerva fixed him with her stern look and he seemed to wilt slightly.
When speculation in the book turned to the possibility of a Ravenclaw artifact everyone began thinking if there was anything that might fit the description.
"The only famous object I can think of is Ravenclaw's diadem," Kingsley, the only former Ravenclaw present, said. Harry looked up hopeful he was about to make a breakthrough. "But it's been lost for centuries." Harry looked down again, disappointed.
In the book Dumbledore confirmed that the only known relic of Gryffindor's, the sword, was untainted.
"Well that's good at least." McGonagall said, glad that her house's famous object hadn't been tainted.
When Dumbledore began describing his theory that Nagini, the snake, was a horcrux looks of revulsion were seen in the room.
"An animal can be a horcrux?" Charlie asked. "That is seriously wrong."
"All of this is wrong Charlie." Tonks reminded him.
Dumbledore in the book began to explain that Voldemort had been one horcrux short when he went to kill Harry.
Remus frowned at this. It really had been the worst day of his life. He had lost all his friends in one fell swoop. He was also still racked with guilt that he didn't believe Sirius and that he hadn't made sure Harry was safe and loved.
Meanwhile, Ginny gripped Harry tighter not liking the reference to his potential death.
In the book Dumbledore mentioned that that Voldemort believed that in killing Harry he was destroying the danger of the prophecy.
"Prophecy? What Prophecy?" Aberforth asked.
"The one that the Order was guarding." Harry said.
"But nobody knew what it said." Molly told everyone. "Only Albus."
"He told me. It basically says that I'm the only person who can kill Voldemort." Harry quickly motioned for the girl to keep reading before another set of exclamations could occur.
In the book Dumbledore remarked that Voldemort cared more for Nagini than anybody else in the world.
"That's just sad." Tonks whispered so quietly that only Remus could hear her, he turned and looked at her incredulously but didn't say anything.
In the book Dumbledore said that he thought he was close to finding another horcrux and that Harry could come when he found it.
"No!" Mrs. Weasley exclaimed. "You are much too young! You are not experienced enough to be doing these things. You shouldn't go with Dumbledore and you can't go off looking for these things! The adults will handle it."
Harry held up a hand to stop anyone else from responding. "Really, Mrs. Weasley?" Harry leaned forward. He happened to be sitting directly across the room from her. "I want you to really think about what I am about to say. Have you ever dueled Voldemort? Has anyone in this room besides me?"
Molly opened her mouth to respond but Harry continued before she got the chance. "I was bullied and ridiculed until I was 11 and then I went to a school where every year someone was trying to kill me. I've watched people I care about die and not been able to do anything. I have had the entire weight of the world placed on my shoulders. Can you honestly still tell me that I am still a child. That I am not mature enough. Can you tell that to Ron and Hermione who have been with me almost every step of the way." Harry swallowed. "Can you tell that to Ginny who was possessed and forced to do unspeakable things? Can you honestly say that any of us are still children?"
Molly bit back a sob but stayed quiet. The Weasley siblings stared at Harry, amazed. No one had ever managed to head off Molly Weasley mid rant before.
When Dumbledore told Harry that he could come with him Molly shook her head slightly but stayed quiet.
In the book Dumbledore told Harry that he had earned that right.
Remus nodded. "Your father and mother would have thought the same Harry. I'm sure of it."
When the diary was mentioned again Ginny had started to shake.
In the book Dumbledore explained that Lucius Malfoy had not known that the diary was a Horcrux.
"Thank goodness for that." Minerva said and everyone else nodded.
In the book Dumbledore was explaining that one of the reason's Malfoy had given the diary to Ginny was to attempt to discredit Arthur.
Arthur was furious at this. He had always guessed that that was the reason but to have it confirmed was too much. "That…That disgusting excuse for a man…"
Ginny looked over at her father. "Dad, it's okay. Really. It's in the past."
Arthur started to speak again but caught sight of his daughters ashen face and knew she just wanted to forget it.
Dumbledore was quick to remind Harry that even without the horcruxes it would still take a lot of skill to defeat Voldemort.
Everyone winced at this reminder and turned to look at Harry. The same thought running through each of their heads. Did Harry have the necessary skill to win? Harry meanwhile buried his face in Ginny's hair to avoid the questioning looks.
In the book Dumbledore reminded Harry that the skill he possessed was the ability to love. In the book it said that Harry was tempted to remark sarcastically 'big deal'.
"Oh but Harry, it is a big deal." Mrs. Weasley assured him.
"Yes, it is." Ginny said and then turned her head and caught his lips in a kiss.
Harry heard Ron's warning from the previous day to stay away from Ginny in his head, but the feel of her lips moving against his was just too good and he began to reciprocate.
They heard a cough and quickly broke apart, both of them blushing.
Harry looked around the room and saw Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Hermione, Remus and Tonks all smiling. Kingsley and Aberforth looked indifferent, Minerva was trying to but Harry could see her lips twitching upwards at the corners. The twins had their mischievous faces on, while Ron, Bill and Charlie were glaring at them.
Harry just shrugged and leaned back in his seat while Ginny cuddled into his side.
Dumbledore remarked in the book about how unusual Harry was for his ability to love.
"Oh yes Harry, you are very unusual alright." The twins smirked at him.
In the book Dumbledore was trying to allay Harry's fears by telling him he relied too much on the prophecy.
This confused everyone except Harry, he hadn't even shared this part with Ron and Hermione.
As Dumbledore tried to explain more the confused looks were replaced by ones of dawning comprehension.
"Wait." Bill said. "So Voldemort is the one who gave us our best chance at defeating him?"
At Harry's nod everyone in the room looked shocked.
"Well that's just stupid of him!" Ron exclaimed.
Remus winced when Dumbledore mentioned Voldemort's murder of James. Even all these years later it still hurt to think about.
As Dumbledore added in the comment about Lily's sacrifice Remus was close to being overcome by his grief. Lily would be so happy that her last act had saved Harry's life countless times over. And James would be so proud of the brave and strong young man that Harry had become. Tonks who was sitting next to him took his hand and gave it a light squeeze.
At Dumbledore's comment about tyrants fearing the people that the oppress the faces of many in the room became confused.
"That they do." This comment which broke the silence surprisingly came from Aberforth.
In the book Dumbledore gave an impassioned speech about Harry's ability to love and his intolerance of the dark side.
The twins got up and began mock applauding the speech, as the girl from the future had delivered it in a passionate and purposeful way; more so than Harry remembered Dumbledore giving it at the time. The girl got up and bowed.
Meanwhile Minerva smiled at the words in the book. No one, not even Harry, really understood how much Dumbledore truly cared for the boy.
When Harry in the book exclaimed that he would never join the dark side because Voldemort had killed his parents, the Harry in the room nodded along with his statement in the book. He would never join Voldemort after all he had done.
In the book Dumbledore told Harry that when he was eleven and looked into the Mirror of Erised he saw the only way to beat Voldemort.
Everyone turned to look at Harry only to see his face once again buried in Ginny's hair.
Ron looked down, ashamed. His own desire at the time seemed so trivial now.
Harry found he was incapable of looking up to meet the questioning gazes, let alone speak about what he had seen and so when Ginny asked him, "Do you want me to tell them what you saw?" He nodded into her neck and she told the room at large, "he saw his parents."
Everyone looked at Harry sadly. He had suffered so much. Molly couldn't deny it any longer, Harry was not a boy that needed protecting, he was right. He may have never been that boy.
The book revealed that Voldemort had attempted to possess Harry.
"What?!" Remus exclaimed. "Voldemort possessed you?" Harry nodded. Ginny was the only person he had told.
"When?" Arthur asked.
"Right after Sirius-" Harry choked on his words. He turned to the girl from the future, that he now saw bore a remarkable resemblance to Ginny. "Read please." It sounded almost like a demand.
In the book Dumbledore exclaimed that Harry didn't need to kill Voldemort just because of the prophecy; he challenged Harry to think about how he would feel towards Voldemort if he had never heard the prophecy.
"That's a good question Mr. Potter." Minerva said. "How would you feel?"
"I think the book is about to tell you Professor." Harry sighed.
When Harry in the book said that he would want to be the one to kill Voldemort everyone looked at him but none could say they were surprised. He had earned the right to feel that way.
In the book Harry finally realized that he would walk into his fate, whatever it was, with his head held high.
Ginny shivered at the possibility of Harry's death.
When the girl from the future put down the stack of paper everyone looked around the room, not quite sure how to absorb all the information that first section had given them.
Eventually future girl, 'we really need a name for her' Ginny thought, cleared her throat and drew attention to herself.
"Well I suppose you have some questions for me." She said.
Please Review if you feel like it. Your welcome to leave flames but don't expect a response if you do.
