Harry wrote on the blackboard with magic. Fred cut in.
"Should he be doing that? He is using magic underage."
Arthur held up his hand. "Harry found a loophole in the laws some time ago. If anyone uses magic around someone with the trace, it goes off as if the under aged person had used magic. It is ignored in the residences of adult wizards as it is not feasible to ask adult wizards to completely abandon their magic for seventeen or more years."
Fred's eyes widen in mischief but Molly cut in before he could speak the words.
"However, it is up to the parents to restrict the magic of their children. Harry may be fourteen again, but he is an adult on the inside. As long as he is here with us, he can use his magic freely."
Fred nodded, glumly. Harry had finished writing and tapped the board. "So Tom Riddle has seven Horcruxes. The Diary, which is already destroyed. The Locket, which is in Sirius's house. The Goblet, which is in the Lastrange vault. The Gaunt Ring, which is still buried in the shack. The Diadem, hidden at Hogwarts in the Room of Requirement. The snake, Nagini whom should by now be a Horcrux."
Everyone else was quiet. They were all very aware of who the seventh was. Fred spoke up.
"That was only six mate. Where is the seventh."
Ginny broke into tears and put her head on her mother's arm. Harry stepped over and stroked her hair. "Ginny…"
"No!" She said angrily. "There has to be another way. Please, Harry. What if something goes wrong this time and when he hits you that is it? I could not handle having you dead for real."
Fred's mouth was a little o as he realized what was implied. Harry nodded at his friend.
"We can try to look for a safer way, but if nothing comes up between now and the end of the Triwizard tournament, we will need to let him rise, just long enough to make him destroy his last tie to life. I'll be fine."
Ginny huffed. "Fine, but in the interest of taking all actions, we should tell Dumbledore everything and get his help. Maybe he will be able to find a solution."
Harry nodded. "If that will make you feel better. I know you have no love for the man, after everything. However, I will speak to him about the possibility once he is aware. For now, let's focus on the other issues."
Harry pointed at the image of the diary and made a spectral basilisk fang stab the book. "We need some of the fangs from the dead monster in the chamber of secrets. Ron, do you think you could open it again?"
Ron nodded eagerly. "Leave it to me, mate. I'll get us some weapons."
Harry nodded. "I would prefer to use the Sword but unsure if we will be allowed to borrow it. Better be safe than sorry. Once we have the fangs, we will proceed to the Room of Requirement at once and deal with the Diadem."
Harry again made a spectral fang and crashed it into the image of the Diadem of Ravenclaw. "I will go to Grimwald place at once and get the locket. I hope Kreacher will not cause issues, but we will see. I know the spells to give me access. Hermione, did you ever finish that spell for storing dark items without actually holding on to them?"
Hermione smiled and took out her wand. "Yes, I made a pocket dimension that can hold quite a few items in it. We can store them there until we are ready to destroy them."
"The Goblet of Hufflepuff will actually be quite easy. I will need the memories of the cup being a Horcrux, Ron or Hermione. The goblins will trigger a failsafe in the Lastrange vault and it will be utterly destroyed." He made the cup vanish and the locked by pierced by another fang.
"The ring will be challenging. There are many protective spells around it. We will need Dumbledore to foil them again. We must prevent him from actually touching the ring, or he might don it and then get cursed again."
Fred again asked the question burning in his heart. "What is the deal with this ring?"
Ron laughed. "It's the bloody resurrection stone, Fred. The daft Riddle went and turned a Hallow into his Horcrux."
Fred was again stunned. "The Deathly Hallows are real."
In answer, Ginny pulled Harry's invisibility cloak from his pocket and flopped it down before him on the table. Fred remained quiet as he examined the cloak with new eyes.
"The snake will be an issue; we will need to kill it in the final battle. If Riddle has to rise, it will need to happen while he is down after hitting me with the Killing Curse. If he does not, then we can ambush Wormtail and kill the snake before we deal with the half-formed body of Riddle. We can talk more about that when the time arises."
Everyone at the table nodded. George coughed. "So, what will you lot be doing first?"
Harry pointed at the locket. "Myself, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny will go after the Locket and secure it. It is the easiest to obtain at this time. We can hold off on the Cup until Bill arrives so we can work with him."
George stood up and drew his wand, as did Angelina. "If the Shining Stars are riding out, they should be equipped properly. Mum, can you bring that bolt of fabric? You got it around this time last go around. We can just use it a little early."
Molly nodded and got up and retrieved the cloth. It was a deep midnight purple with silver moons and stars on it. George and Angelina crossed wands and chanted and the fabric rose up and started shaping itself into four cloaks. Once the cloaks were formed, they started to line them with spells. Harry smiled, they had made these same cloaks for their little group in the future and they had saved their hides more than once.
Once the cloaks were done and enchanted, they donned them. Fred whistled in appreciation. "That was some fine magic, brother mine."
George smiled. "Had to keep my siblings and their partner's safe. These cloaks can deflect the Torture curse."
Now equipped, it was time for the mission to begin.
Hey, hoped you liked this update. Next time is getting the locket and maybe Bill arriving.
