Life After Death;; Revamped [Ch. Eight]

"Molly," said Arthur in hushed tones.
Harry pressed himself up against the wall outside of the kitchen, trying not to be seen.
"What is it Arthur?" Molly questioned, looking up from a book.
"Dumbledore believes he's found Regan's murderer." Arthur whispered.
"Do I need to get Angela?" Molly wondered, scraping her chair against the floor as she stood.
"No, he doesn't want her to know...Not yet, anyway." Arthur sighed.
"Oh, all right." Molly said. "Then, who is it?"
"One of thePeters boys...Isaac, I believe." Arthur said. "Dumbledore said he was a student at Hogwarts last year."
"Is that Michael's son?" Molly asked.
Arthur pulled his seat from under the table and sat down. "Yes, it is."
"So, he's a Death Eater then?" Molly questioned, walking across the kitchen and making two cups of tea.
Arthur sighed, "It would seem so."
"They're recruiting younger and younger these days..."
Harry went wide-eyed. His heart started beating faster.

"Harry! Do you have the hot chocolate?!" Ron yelled from the top of the stairs.
Arthur and Molly's conversation ended abruptly and Harry heard them heading towards him.
Before Harry had a chance to run up the stairs, Arthur had him by the arm. "Harry, come with me."
Harry nodded and followed Arthur into the kitchen.
"Did you hear any of that conversation?" Arthur asked.
Harry didn't attempt to lie. "Yes, sir."
"Do you know who this Isaac boy is?" Arthur proded.
Harry took a deep breath. "He was...Angela's boyfriend last year."
Molly gasped and Arthur groaned.
"You must not tell Angela what you heard, Harry. She doesn't need to suffer anymore than she already has."
Harry nodded, his eyes on his lap.
"Promise me, Harry." Arthur said.
"I promise, Mr. Weasley." Harry replied, staring up at him.
"Thank you." Arthur sighed and took a seat.
Harry stared, wide-eyed, at his lap.

"Harry?" Angela called from the doorway.
Harry shook away his thoughts and looked up at her, putting a bright smile on. "Yes?" Something about herwas radiant.
"I was coming to see if you needed any help with that hot chocolate. Ron's being rather impatient, but you know how he gets." Angela laughed.
Harry slid out of his chair, still smiling. "If you want to help, that'd be greatly appreciated."
Angela couldn't contain a smile.
For a moment, Harry and Angela just stared at each other, with big smiles.
Angela laughed again and headed to the cupboard to get some mugs.
Before Harry could follow her, Mrs. Weasley pulled him into a hug. "Thank you, Harry." She whispered.
Harry looked confused. "For what?"
"Whatever you did to make her smile again." Mrs. Weasley grinned.
Harry laughed and shook his head, following Angela to the cupboard.
Molly and Arthur exchanged looks and took their seats back at the table.
