27 December: The Burrow

Voldemort's plan worked, and Dumbledore has returned from his mission. The students are still missing, and the headmaster is doing everything he can to find them. As expected, the news made it to the papers, and now everyone is questioning Dumbledore's actions. Harry is upset with it and doesn't like that people are saying Dumbledore should retire because he is getting old. They don't understand that he is the only one who can keep Hogwarts safe from Voldemort.

"Do you think they are okay?" Ginny asked, pulling him out of his thoughts.

Harry was sitting on the sofa, holding the Prophet in his hands. The page showed the students' photos along with the article.

"I don't know," he shrugged.

"I hope they are," Ginny whispered and sat down beside him.

Since they were all busy on Christmas day, Molly invited everyone tonight for dinner. James and Harry came in the morning, and to say that Ginny was happy to see him would be an understatement. Remus and Tonks just arrived. Hermione couldn't make it; she was enjoying her much-needed time with her parents. Bill and Charlie also took leave for the holidays, and after a long time, the whole family was together.

"Me too," Harry said.

"Harry, there you are." Amy walked into the room. "And Ginny, dinner's ready."

As you know, Amy has been staying with the Weasleys now. Though she misses her parents every day, she likes this family and feels like she is a part of it.

"Let's go... I miss Molly's food," Harry smiled. He won't say it, but James is not really a good cook.

The three walk downstairs to the kitchen.

"Oh! Look at the lover boy, sulking in the corner because his girlfriend couldn't make it," Ginny teases.

"Ginny! That's rude," Molly said sternly.

"And I am not fucking sulking," Fred shouts. He really was not. He was just watching television, his dad brought home from work. James helped them set it up, having more knowledge about it than Mr. Weasley. And it has become a great source of entertainment for the family.

"Language, Fred Weasley!" Molly shouts. "Or you will be grounded for the rest of your life."

"We don't actually live here anymore?" Fred unsurely said.

"That's it, you are grounded." And the whole house bursted into laughter, even Fred, who was now 'grounded for the rest of his life.'

"It's so nice being here," Harry smiled.

"See, we don't actually need the TV. This is free entertainment. Every day a new show," Ron joked.

Harry laughs; he really likes it here.
