"Of course not." said Harry irritated with Ron.

"Seems like it." Ron muttered, shifting his body. "Not like Dumbledore knew what Snape was up to."

"Look," cut in Hermione, not wanting a fight between the two of them. "let's not talk about this anymore. It's just a difficult thing to talk about. I don't think anyone wants to ponder this any longer than we have to. Let's just hope for the best."

"Oh all right." said Ron sighing a little. He obviously didn't want to drop the matter, and to continue on with the conversation.

"Anything from the trolly?" asked the woman who went by with the snacks.

She was trying her best to be in her normal cheery mood, but it was hard for her. Not just the students were affected by the Headmaster's death, but also everyone in the wizarding world. He was a man of power, just like Voldemort, though his power was used for good. Now that he was gone, the wizarding world didn't seem safe anymore. The only man that Voldemort ever feared was now dead. It troubled everyone greatly, and just by seeing the woman who pushed the trolly, the trio and Ginny soon realized how much it would affect everyone.

At Platform 9 3/4, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were there waiting for them, along with a wizard in old shabby clothing, with graying brown hair. Next to him was a pale faced witch with dark twinkling eyes, and short spiked pink hair, along with two twins who had red hair and freckles, apparently Ron's older brothers. Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny all grinned with delight upon seeing them. They figured that they must have known already about Dumbledore, like some of the other parents that were there.

"Everybody make it off all right?' asked Mrs. Weasley in a slightly worried voice.

They had went back to where the Order was to see if they could do anything to help. They had to spread the word about Dumbledore dead, which wasn't easy to do. People didn't want to believe that he was dead, others were glad, like Lucious Malfoy. Kingsley Shacklebolt was probably working hardest of them all, trying to make sure that the muggle Ministry didn't get too suspicious about the many bizzare things that were going on. And they had to do this in a matter of two to three days, which left everyone exhausted.

"Don't worry mum." said Ron, trying to sound cheerful. "Everyone made it all right. Still in one piece."

"Well that's good." said Mrs. Weasley not sounding too convinced.

"So what is the Order doing to help?" asked Harry, wondering what was going on.

"Let's not talk about it here." said Mr. Weasley, glancing around, like he was expecting a Death Eater that was going to attack them.

"Come on everybody." said one of the two twins.

"Don't got all day." responded the other.

"Patience Fred and George." said Mrs. Weasley irritated.

"Now Molly," said the pink haired witch. "I don't blame them for wanting to hurry."

"Oh all right." responded Mrs. Weasley. She then turned around and started to tell people where to go, and what not. They couldn't Apperate, because Harry, who hadn't been old enough to take his test, and because Ginny wasn't of age to take the test.
