Days after the loss of Moody, Harry is living at the Burrow with the Weasleys and Hermione. The Weasleys are preparing for Bill and Fleur’s wedding. Harry, Ron, and Hermione are secretly preparing to leave for their mission to hunt down Voldemort’s Horcruxes. Ron warns Harry that Mrs. Weasley is suspicious, but “Dumbledore told [Harry] not to tell anyone” (87) about their special mission. Mrs. Weasley is determined to stop Harry, Ron, and Hermione from making plans to embark on their dangerous mission, so she “[keeps] Harry, Ron, and Hermione so busy with preparations for the wedding that they hardly [have] any time to think” (89), let alone plan to take off. One day, Harry, Ron, and Hermione meet between chores, discussing their plan to leave and hunt Horcruxes. Harry reminds Ron and Hermione that they don’t have to join him. However, Hermione insists that they’re coming with him. Hermione modified her parents’ memories, gave them new identities, and moved them to Australia to make it “more difficult for Voldemort to track them down” (96-97). Ron has disguised his family’s ghoul to look like him so the Weasleys can pretend that Ron is sick with spattergroit. Harry realizes his friends know what they’re getting into, and he is grateful for their dedication to the mission.
