... mirrored his smirk, while the others smiled or rolled their eyes. Harry sighed. "Aunt Minerva said he'd be all right, a few broken bones and all that, but he'll recover. Apparently Madam Pomfrey is hesitant to perform too much healing magic, due to his age, so he'll probably be laid up most of the summer." "I shouldn't be happy about someone else's misery, but I find that I don't care enough to, well, care," Hermione commented. Ron grinned and kissed his girlfriend's cheek. "That's what I love about you." Hermione blushed, and the others laughed. When they quieted down, Harry told them what else he had learned from Minerva earlier that day. Ron frowned when he heard about his third oldest brother. "Not that I'm not glad that Percy seems to finally be seeing the light, but how do we know he's really changed?" Harry shrugged. "I'm just telling you what Aunt Minerva told me. You'll probably have a chance to speak with Percy soon, you can make your own observations." Ginny nodded. "Sounds good," she commented. "If Percy's really sorry, then I'll be happy to have him back in the family. You know how upset mum and dad were when he chose Fudge over us, Ron."

Important ones." Ginny rolled her eyes. "Whatever you say, dear." She gave him a kiss on the cheek, and he smiled slightly, knowing that she was just playing. "All right, Harry, what was your thought?" Harry huffed, and then got serious. "Well, I was thinking, Voldemort gave the diary to Malfoy, right?" Ginny supressed a wince, and nodded. "So what if he gave some other horcruxes to his Death Eaters as well?" Hermione pursed her lips. "It's an idea," she said thoughtfully. "Whom did you have in mind?" Harry shrugged. "I don't know. Which Death Eaters would he trust more than others?" "The Lestranges, perhaps Nott or Avery," Susan mused. Ginny nodded slowly. "If we had to guess, my money would be on the Lestranges. They've always been in his inner circle, and you know Bellatrix is his right hand woman." Neville growled at the mention of the family that was responsible for his parents' fate, but Harry's cautioning look stopped him from doing anything more. "You're right, Gin.
