Saiph

Vacation= Over

In my searches for Hermione, I'd run into Kretcher. I sit with him a moment on the steps and had some small talk with him. Sirius was on his nerves, 'destroying masters items', as he said. I asked Kretcher if he knew of my mother's abilites but he informed me he hadn't spent much time with her, besides healing my dad. He told me she was a great healer but after he was healed he was sent to Wallburga.

I found Hermione in the kitchen with Molly and pulled her away adn she'd agreed to meeting tonight with everyone. I felt slightly anxious in discussing the journals with the group, but I'd kept the information to myself for long enough. Not everyone would be there, like Snape, so we'd have to inform him later.

After leaving Hermione, I joined Charlie and Bill in cleaning one of the rooms in the third floor. They kept themselves busy, laughing and teasing Bill over the new girl at his work. Apparently she was working in Gringotts to improve her English, but seemed to take special interest in Bill. After awhile Molly summoned everyone for dinner, the room filing with bodies quickly.

Remus and Tonks joined the group engaging in a conversation with Sirius. Tonks occupied Ginny and Hermione's time by showing off her abilites. Dinner was filled with joyus laughter as teh twins began throwing rolls at one another, earning themselves a scolding from the Weasley matriarch.

"I have an announcement to make." a voice raises above all of the noise.

Our heads turn to find Harry, sitting next to Sirius, now standing from his seat. He looks aroudn the table with a smile.

"I know what we're heading into isn't good. I want to say I love you all and I'm thankful. This is my true family, no matter where we go or what we do. I guess that's it." He smiles sheepishly, feeling nervous.

"Here, Here!" everyone shouts and we continue our joyus banter.

After dinner Molly tells us she is going to pick up Mr. Weasley from St. Mungo's, assigning each of her children chores earning a collective groan from the group. Not knowing we were having a 'meeting' the children scatter, Hermione telling her friends she'd join them momentarily.

"The journals.." I begin to say looking at Sirius. He nods pulling them off the bookshelf and setting them on the table.

"What's in them?" Bill asks curiously looking at them as if they might bite. It wasn't really a far stretch from what I heard, Hagrid assinged books that bit folk a few years back.

"They're my Mom and Dads. Amongst them, it says how my dad was assigned to track down my mother." I begin.

"So they knew about her?" Tonks asks.

I nod. "He basically warned her. They seperated and ended up meeting once more. They both ran to America after my dad found the locket. They lived no-mag lives and had me. Things were getting bad again they feared so they sent the journals and locket in a box sealed. They wrote letters but sent it all back here with Kretcher." I begin to explain.

"How'd you end up with your mom's then? You were in America and it was supposed to be here." Hermione wonders.

I nod. It was true and I hadn't thought of it. How did the journal find it's way back to me?

"KRETCHER!" Sirius yells for the elf. He gives him a dirty look before bowing and mumbling profanities with a whisper.

"How did this journal end up in America with Siaph?" Sirius questions.

He runs his eyes from the journal to me and bows his head once more. "Kretcher saw Mistress, so sad. Kretcher brought back for Mistress, just to see her smile once more."

I hug Kretcher and thank him, once again earning me confused looks.

"So.. I guess another thing that was in there was about my mom.. possessing abilites." I begin looking at Sirius to continue.
