    ... that Harry was carrying. "Harry, do you have…" Harry glanced down at his hand, and started. He had actually forgotten he was carrying the case. He set it down and let the two cats out. "Aunt Minerva got them back to the Castle. She thought you and Ginny would like them back." Hermione scooped up Crookshanks and cradled him against her chest, a few tears leaking from her eyes. She had been so worried for him. Selene looked around at the teenagers, stretched, and then bounded off to find the human that belonged to her. Ginny joined them as they entered the massive library, her eyes red as she cuddled Selene close to her. Harry put an arm around her shoulders as they walked. I'm so sorry, Gin. Ginny nodded slightly. I can't believe it, her mental voice was soft. We just got him back. They sat down, and Harry turned to Ron, his emerald eyes somber. "Ron…" Ron's face drained of blood. "No…" he whispered. "Who…" Harry looked down. "Percy." Ron gasped, and the others looked shocked. "How?" Hermione asked softly, wrapping an arm around Ron's back, pulling him close to her in an effort to comfort him. Harry bit his lip. "He pushed Amelia out of the way of a Killing Curse." They all absorbed the information, reeling from the blow.

"Aunt Amelia's all right?" Susan whispered, hope shining in her eyes. Harry nodded, smiling slightly. "Aunt Minerva said that Amelia and Sirius were meeting with the senior officials in a safe house this morning, and that they could still operate in the shadows if need be. The Ministry hasn't completely fallen, just the building. She also said that Sirius and Amelia opened up the Bones Estate to house any Ministry employees that needed someplace safe to stay." Susan nodded, smiling a little. That sounded like her aunt. "I can't believe what the wizarding world has turned to," Blaise commented softly. "In one day, thousands of people have been killed, injured, or forced into hiding. How many more will die before this war is over?" Harry's eyes hardened. "We had better do everything we can to stop Voldemort before it comes to that, then." He looked at each of them in turn. "I can't do this alone, and I don't want to. You're all here because together, we can stop this. It's the only way." Ginny nodded firmly. "Find the horcruxes. Destroy them. Kill Voldemort. We can do this. We have to do this."
