(Y/N POV)

"Hello kids!" I heard Molly say. I was tired and still in my tight dress. I just wanted to go to sleep.

Remus ran up to me. "I HEARD WHAT HAPPENED ARE YOU OKAY?" He asked checking me over.

We were in the living room of the burrow.

"Awful really." Tonks said in a quiet voice. She gave me a hug.

"I haven't seen you since your father died. It gave us quite a scare. I really though i lost you." She said sniffling.

"You cant get rid of me that easy." I smiled.

Remus gave a small chuckle and kissed my forehead. 

He brushed my hair aside revealing my scar. He gasped. "We weren't aware you had one of  these." He replied studying it. Molly pulled me into a tight hug. "I'm glad you're alright." She said with a smile. 

I sat down next to Harry.

"So you said Voldemort has chosen Draco Malfoy for a mission?" Remus asked.

"I know it sounds mad." He replied.

"Has it occurred to you, Harry, that Snape was simply pretending to offer Draco help so he could find out what he was up to?"

"Ginny!" Molly called.

"That's not what it sounded like." Harry replied

"Perhaps Harry is right, Remus. I mean, to make an Unbreakable Vow—" Tonks said.

"It comes down to whether or not you trust Dumbledore's judgement. Dumbledore trusts Snape, therefore, I do."

"Dumbledore can make mistakes. He said so himself."

"You are blinded by hatred."

"I'm not." Harry yelled.

"Yes, you are. People are disappearing, Harry. Daily. We could only place our trust in a handful of people. If we started fighting amongst ourselves, we're doomed."

"Ginny!" Molly called again.

"You'll have to forgive Remus. It takes its toll, his condition." Arthur said.

"Are you all right, Mr. Weasley?" I asked.

"We're being followed, all of us. Most days, Molly doesn't leave the house. It's not been easy."

"Did you get my owl?" Harry asked.

"Yes, I did. If Dumbledore is traveling, then perhaps news to the Ministry, but perhaps that's the way Dumbledore wants it. As for Draco Malfoy... I know a bit more."

"Go on." I told him.

"I sent an agent to Borgin and Burkes. I think from what you described... What you and Ron saw at the end of summer, the object that Draco is so interested in, is a Vanishing Cabinet."

"A "Vanishing Cabinet"?" Harry asked.

"They were all the rage when Voldemort first rose to power. You can see the appeal. Should the Death Eaters come knocking, one simply have to slip inside and disappear for an hour or two. It transports you practically anywhere. Tricky contraptions, though. Very temperamental."

"What happened to it? The one at Borgin and Burkes?"

"Nothing. It's still there." 

I stood up and walked to the kitchen.

"It was delicious, Molly, really." Tonks said.

"Are you sure you won't stay?" Molly asked.

"You're leaving?" I asked.
