Molly was now sobbing, "oh thank Merlin! If I had ruined their lives I don't think I could have lived with myself, even knowing it was that old bastard I could still hear and see myself carrying out his orders."
Griphook had popped his head in the room and, seeing Molly talking, left to find the healer. He was there in minutes and proceeded to run scans over his patient.
When Molly told he healer what had happened his face lit up like a Christmas tree, with understanding instead of tinsel and respect replacing baubles.
"Your mind created a vault with Ginny Potter as the password, anything he did after that would have been removed shortly after the vault was open. He must have known this but the power required to break through would have destroyed your mind, and then you would have been of no use to him. The damage before that is only to a small proportion of your memories, we may be able to unlock them but the results would be unpredictable. The choice on whether or not to proceed would be a difficult one."
Harry and Hermione had entered with Griphook and caught the healer's diagnosis.
"There's no decision to be made, we need Molly healthy and the old bastard dead. Molly doesn't need any more messing with her head and we'll deal with Dumbledore."
Griphook immediately picked up that there was something that Harry didn't want found in Molly's memories, the healer was no slouch either and if the Lord Gryffindor thought it was better left alone, he wasn't going to argue.
"Actually I agree with the Lord Gryffindor, it would take us years to work out all the spells he cast on you, and trying to unblock a memory might trigger something else and cause a regression. Your recovery is more than we could ever have wished for."
Molly wasn't listening, she hadn't taken her eyes of the couple since they walked in the door. It was undoubtedly Harry and Hermione but then again it wasn't. just how long had she been down there?
"Can you two find it in your hearts to possibly forgive me? I couldn't be happier that you're married and would like to thank you for helping Ginny. I would understand if you couldn't…"
She never got to finish as a pregnant Potter leapt on her, giving a hug that would rival the recipient's on her best day.
"Oh Molly, I'm so sorry. I wanted you kissed for the way you hurt my Harry. Can you ever forgive me?"
A sobbing Molly replied, "if Harry can…"
Harry had walked over and lifted Molly's hand, "please excuse hormonal Hermione here, we are expecting three new Potters this year and they will need their gran Weasley fit and healthy."
This was exactly the right thing to say to maternal Molly, grandchildren were her greatest wish and to have three at once was overwhelming. She clung to Hermione just as hard as the pregnant witch was clinging to her.
"Bill's rounding up the rest of the boy's, Ginny's back on the island checking on her boyfriend, he was magically exhausted helping Ginny escape from the old bastard." Harry informed the Weasley's but seemed to create more questions than he answered.
Hermione sat up beside Molly to fill in the blanks, "Ginny was abducted by the old goat last night but had a portkey and protection charm on her that allowed her to escape. Her boyfriend, Neville Longbottom, gave her some of his magic, which allowed Ginny to pull down the wards where she was taken. She also rescued two elves and took away his ability to reach us again."
"Neville's a fine boy, are they bonded?" Molly asked.
Harry laughed, "after last night there can't be any doubts left and everyone is very happy about it."
"Lord Gryffindor," the healer interrupted, "you more than anyone will appreciate the changes our world has undergone while Mrs Weasley has been indisposed. Please limit information to that regarding her immediate family until she is a bit stronger. I have lived through the changes and even then I find some of them hard to believe."
Harry and Hermione just laughed but agreed with the healer, even they sometimes couldn't believe how far magical Britain had come.
They chatted for a few minutes more before promising to return with Ginny, explaining about the time difference of their location and that it might be tomorrow before the returned. They both portkeyed home.
