RON, HERMIONE, GINNY, AND HARRY WERE BESIDE MOLLY IN A ROOM IN ST. MUNGO'S ALONG WITH MR. WEASLEY WHEN ROSE, SCORPIUS, LENA, AND ALBUS WALKED IN. Molly smiled at them and gestured for them to come inside. Harry and Hermione left after another healer said that Molly had too many visitors, leaving just Albus, Rose, Ron, Ginny, Scorpius and Lena.

"Gran, are you all right?" Rose asked, sitting besides Molly.

"Me dear? I'm fine," Mrs. Weasley said "But you my dear are not. Are you okay? You don't look like you're eating enough! I knew that those Malfoys starving you." Rose and the others laughed a little.

"We aren't starving her," Scorpius defended "I'm actually taking good care of her... when she isn't taking care of me."

"That's good to hear," said Mrs. Weasley, smiling and patting Scorpius's arm.

"What happened?" Albus asked. Albus just got a call saying that his grandmother was in St. Mungo's. He didn't know what happened, just that she was fine and she was allowed to have visitors.

"Oh it's nothing," said Mrs. Weasley "Nothing to worry about at all."

"It's not nothing," said Mr. Weasley, stroking the back of his wife's hand with his thumb "She was attacked, Albus. She was out in Diagon Alley visiting Fred and George and she was attacked. Lucky they were there or my Molly would have been dead."

"I would not have," Mrs. Weasley argued "I would have been perfectly all right. A little scratched up but all in all just fine. I'm only eighty-three. A little scratch wasn't going to do me much harm. I don't know why George insisted that I go to the hospital."

"Gran, you were not going to be fine," said Albus, taking a look at Mrs. Weasley's charts. Mrs. Weasley had shown up to the hospital with a single slice across her stomach. According to the chart the cut had healed without leaving a scar. No signs of magic used to make the cut.

"Oh, put that down," Mrs. Weasley reprimanded "I am fine. The bloke didn't even use his wand. Oh Albus, I feel fine. Please tell them I can leave."

"Soon, gran, soon," said Albus. Mrs. Weasley frowned and picked up a copy of the Daily Prophet and tossed it aside after remembering that she had already read it.

"Oh, Lena and Albus dear, I've been meaning to ask, how's the wedding planning?" Mrs. Weasley asked "Have you decided on a date yet?"

"Actually n-"

"17th February," said Lena cutting Albus off "Who doesn't love a winter wedding?"

"That's wonderful," Mrs. Weasley marveled. Mrs. Weasley's healer walked in and frowned at all the people in the room.

"I have to run some test on the patient now," she said "Only family members can stay."

"They are all family dear," said Mrs. Weasley.

"Right," the healer said "Well, in that case only your husband can stay." Everyone left the room and Albus pulled Lena aside.

"When did we decide on a date?" he asked.

"Oh sorry, I know you wanted to be part of the date selection process but I've always wanted a winter wedding and 17th February is the snowiest day of the year so I want my wedding to be on that night," Lena explained "I hope that's okay. I can pick another date if you want."

"No, Lena, the date is fine," said Albus "It's just that I thought that we were going to wait until the unnamed people are back in jail."

"I know," sighed Lena "But I love you and I don't want to put off important things just because I'm scared. You're my everything." Albus stroked Lena's cheek with his thumb and gave her a long kiss.

"Hope I'm not interrupting anything," said Harry, approaching the two of them. Albus and Lena broke the kiss and Albus turned bright red.

"No, you're not interrupting anything," said Lena "What's the matter?"

"Well, I have to tell you that your parents-"

"They are not my parents," said Lena, cutting Harry off "The only parent I have is my mother, Gabrielle Delacour."

"My apologies," said Harry "The Deveraux's are not going to muggle prison because they are dead. They were killed a few days after they escaped. Someone used the killing curse. The person who killed them has not been apprehended yet," There was an uncomfortable silence from both Lena and Albus. Harry looked at them curiously.

"If you are waiting for me to shed some tears, you are going to waiting for a long time," said Lena "They both can burn in hell."

"Right, there is a small matter that I need to discuss with you, the will and their bodies," said Harry "They have left you everything they own."

"Burn it all," said Lena "I don't want anything from them considering that the last thing that they gave me threatened Hogwarts and almost killed me and the man that I love."

"Guess that settles it then," said Harry. He gave Lena and Albus a hug and he left with Ginny. Rose and Scorpius approached them and they all apparated to Malfoy Manor.

"It was just like the others," said Rose "She was attacked without using magic."

"That makes it the fourteenth attack from the list," said Albus. He took a quill to write 'attacked' next to Molly's names and looked through the lists and frowned. He read through the translated one and the original one over and over again trying to make sense of it. Lena stood next to him and put her hand on his forearm.

"What?" she asked.

"Gran's name," said Albus "It isn't on the list." Albus turned around to face the others. Rose looked at him with a shocked expression. Scorpius took the four lists and checked it over and over again, reading all the names out loud to be sure.

"It isn't on here," he repeated "What does that mean?"

"It means that there's at least one more list out there," said Rose "And who knows who's on there." 



A/N: This chapter was kind of quick and abrupt. I needed to make everything fit without making it too long so there's that. Also, I'm going to be pretty busy for the next few weeks so the next part will be published in November. Check my spelling and my grammar.
