The explosion, however, had badly damaged the motorcycle, and now, they were falling to the ground, their speed increasing at each second.

Harry: Y/N, do something!
He yelled, covering his eyes, as Hagrid tried his best to stabilize the vehicle.

Y/N: Arresto Momentum!
He shouted, as the motorcycle suddenly stopped, just a few centimeters from the ground.

They were all panting, panicking, but they were still alive.

Hagrid: That was close, yeh two.
He said, as they all headed to the Burrow, where both Ginny and Mrs Weasley were waiting for them.

Mrs Weasley: Harry, Y/N!
She said, hugging them both, sighing in relief.

Harry then hugged Ginny, as Mrs Weasley looked at Hagrid with a serious expression.

Mrs Weasley: I don't get it... Where's everyone else? They should've been here already, yet you're the only ones who actually menaged to arrive.
She said, a hint of worry in her voice.

Hagrid: They ambushed us!
He said, huffing angrily.

Harry and Y/N nodded in agreement.

Y/N: Someone clearly betrayed us. And don't worry, I'll make sure to make them pay. Whoever they are.
He said, fury glistening in his eyes.

The other four looked at him.

In that exact moment, one after another, everyone else started to arrive.

Lupin then suddenly them both by their arms, and pinned them both on the wall, pointing his wand at Harry.

Lupin: What creature was in my office the first time Harry Potter came to visit me, 4 years ago?
He shouted.

Harry: A grindylow!
He said, panicking.

Lupin let go of him, and pointed his wand at Y/N.

Lupin: What was my nickname, back when I was at Hogwarts?
He shouted.

Y/N: Moony!
He shouted back, looking at him straight in the eyes.

Lupin let go of him too, sighing.

Lupin: Someone betrayed us. I had to make sure you were the real ones.
He said, as he quickly hugged Y/N.

Lupin: I'm sorry for startling you like that.
He added, ruffling his hair.

In that moment, Mrs Weasley arrived too, together with Fred, who had lost an ear, and was bleeding profusely.

They all took him to the living room, where he laid on the couch, as they all surrounded him, worried.

Mrs Weasley tried to wipe the blood away.

Mr Weasley: It was Snape. He cut it off with a spell.
He said.

Y/N: The Sectumsempra, again... So Harry did not lie, then. Severus Snape is indeed the Half-Blood Prince... He wouldn't have been ale to know the spell, otherwise... And this explains many things...
He thought, as he knelt down, next to Fred and Mrs Weasley.

He took his wand out.

Mrs Weasley gave him a puzzled look.
Mrs Weasley: Y/N, dear, what are you-
She was about to say, when Y/N cut her off by casting a spell.

Y/N: Restitutio Maxima.
He muttered.

To everyone's surprise, the blood suddenly stopped.

Then, the ear slowly (very slowly) proceeded to heal.

It was regrowing, but not as quickly as Y/N had hoped.

Mrs Weasley: H-How did you...?
She said, almost out of breath, as tears filled her eyes.

Y/N: It'll take quite some time to regrow completely, but in the meantime he shouldn't have any problem.
He said.

She hugged tightly.
Mrs Weasley: Thank you... Thank you!
She cried.

Y/N smiled softly.
Y/N: It was only natural, Mrs Weasley. I had to do something, especially after he's in this state because of me and Harry.
He said.

Then Bill spoke up.
Bill: Moody didn't make it. He got killed by Voldemort himself, while Mundingus menaged to flee.
He said bitterly.

Those words struck the twins like lightning.
Harry: No... It can't be...
He muttered.

Y/N: Damn it! Why is it always the good ones who have to die?!
He yelled out of anger, running outside.

He then stopped, looking up to the sky, as tears of anger filled his eyes.

Y/N: Don't worry, Moody. Wherever you are, right now... Just know that I'll make sure to avenge you. He's crossed the line too many times.
He thought, as Harry walked towards him.

Harry: Y/N... We can't stay here.
He said.

Y/N nodded, before following him inside.

Later that night, right when everyone was already asleep, Harry and Y/N grabbed their things, trying to be extra careful not to wake anyone up.

Then, they both headed outside, and walked away.

That until they heard footsteps behind them.

Turning around, they saw Ron, with his hands on his hips, looking at them in a way that very much resembled Mrs Weasley's.

Needless to say, he scared the shit out of them.

Ron: Where do you think you're going, exactly?
He asked, raising a brow.

Harry: Ron, I'm not letting anybody else die for us-
He said, when Ron cut him off.

Ron: Die for you? Weren't we supposed to do this together?
He said.

Y/N looked down in shame.

Ron: You can't go yet! There's the wedding, remember? You can't miss it, or Fleur will be disappointed.
He said.

Harry&Y/N: Ugh, fine.
They both said gloomly, finally giving in, as they followed him back inside.

Some days went by, and it was finally Harry and Y/N's 17th Birthday.

They were all having a party in the garden.

Mrs Weasley had just taken out the cake, when the Minister of Magic, Scrimgeur himself, arrived at the Burrow, interrupting the party.

Scrimgeur looked at them.
Scrimgeur: Good afternoon.
He said.

Fred: What brings you here minister?
He asked.

Scrimgeur: I wanted to exchange a few words with Mr Weasley, Mrs Granger, and with Mr Potter and his twin. In private, if possible.
He said.

The quartet looked at each other.

Then, Ron led him inside, and the other three followed them.

They all sat in the living room, looking at each other.

Y/N looked at Scrimgeur with nothing but disgust.

He had never liked him.
Not even once.

He had that aura of superiority that made Y/N go mad just by standing next to him.

Whatever his business was, Y/N knew that it couldn't be good news for sure.
