The small group was reunited with the others at the Burrow. Molly was truly fearful, not because her sons might die, but because she might lose the money, they give her. Arthur was holding a terrified Percy, who kept mumbling about fire and people trying to kill him. Molly was furious that Arthur paid more attention to Percy than her, it was wonder they even had the twins. Ginny was holding on to Harry's arm and crying, he could have been killed, and then she wouldn't be Lady Potter. Arthur sat on the love seat still holding Percy and Fleur was mothering everyone else, calming down Charlie mostly. Sirius growled when he got Harry and then snapped whenever anyone got to close to Harry. No way in hell was he letting anyone near Harry after nearly losing him forever. Bill was gathering the twins inside and stopping them from running to Malfoy Manor to check on Draco and make sure he was dealing with the trauma. Even if they weren't hurt it was still a lot and anyone could have hurt them in the chaos. 

"What happened? We all got separated, how did you escape?" Hermione was asking the questions in her 'concerned friend' voice. "We ran to the woods and then were confronted with a masked assailant; we were saved by some Aurors." Harry lied perfectly and Sirius was impressed and saddened that his godson/mate could lie so well. "Well, we are all here now. No need to think on bad things, I am certain that we will know the truth by tomorrow. Now everyone will be staying here tonight." Molly bossed everyone and then turned to face the girls. "All of you will be in Ginny's room. Harry you and Ron will share a room. Bill, you and Charlie can go to your old room." Molly made it seem like it was all done. "Where is Sirius gonna sleep?" Harry asked from his position on said man's lap. "Honestly Harry, get off your godfather's lap. Sirius will be sleeping on the couch down here." Molly sounded like she was done with everyone and she probably was feeling her control over her family slipping. 

"I don't think that Percy should be alone tonight and maybe it would be better if Harry and Percy shared a room. They shouldn't be left alone for the night and maybe Charlie could share a room with Ron or Bill." Arthur said holding a shaking and abnormally quiet Percy. Even after they had been protected by Barty, Percy still saw much of what happened to some other people and it was chaos, Percy will be plagued by nightmares for a while. "That is better idea." Sirius agreed, mostly because Percy had the room closest to the living room and he could sneak in to be with Harry. Not happy that his mate would be in the room as someone else Sirius was reluctant to let Harry get ready for bed. Even though he trusted Percy and it was better that Harry be with another submissive it was hard to let Harry be in another room without him after a scare. "I think my sleeping arrangement is better, Ron and Harry share a dorm at school. They haven't been able to spend much time together this summer." Molly was slow on picking up hints, Harry had no desire to be friends with Hermione and Ron. Not after he found out from Gringotts that they were feeding him potions as was Dumbledore. 

That betrayal had hit the submissive side of Harry hard, he was silent and depressed for days, until the twins came and made him play a game of exploding snap, which Harry won. It showed him that he had actual friends that weren't lying and using him for their own gain. "This is better, Ron needs to sleep, and Harry needs to be closer to his godfather in case he has another nightmare. Both of their magic is very delicate and could lash out at anything that could be seen as a threat." Arthur was firm on this, and Molly realized it was pointless to argue, she would have to up his potion intake. She was making Arthur bend to her wishes using a highly illegal potions, given to her by Albus. Bill said goodnight to Fleur by taking her out in the garden and snogging her senseless. Fred and George were in Percy's room claiming they were going to have guys night, and Charlie decided to join. Ron wouldn't fit in the room since Bill also would be in there along with Harry. Ron went to his room and sat on his bed, since when did his brothers like Harry more than him? It was starting to get ridiculous; they would take Harry away from him and Harry didn't even seem to mind. It was like he enjoyed their company more at least that's what it looked like. "Goodnight Moine, goodnight phlegm." Ginny said turning her back on the French girl that stole her oldest brother. "Goodnight Genevieve, Hermione." Fleur used Ginny's full name knowing how much she hated it.
