Minerva McGonagall sat in her office at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, talking to a young man with messy, raven hair. As she was speaking she was writing on very long roll of parchment.
Very soon she finished writing and rolled up the parchment and added it to a pile of many other large rolls. Standing up she reached her hand out toward the young man.
"Thank you so much Harry. I believed we are finally finished."
Harry Potter stood and took her proffered hand in his and gave it a warm shake.
"Thank you so much, Professor for letting me take part in this."
"Oh really Harry," smiled McGonagall, "The whole thing would be impossible without you!"
"I'm glad you think so Professor. Well if you'll excuse me, I told Ginny I'd hurry home so I can share dinner with her tonight. Take care Professor." He waved as he went out the door.
The old lady sat back in her chair with a relieved, but contented look on her weary old face. It had been many years and many lives, but the future now looked bright for everyone.
"And now to share it with the world." She whispered.
Picking up a little bell from her desk she gave it two short rings. On her left a door opened and a young girl of about 20, with a mass of bushy, brown hair stuck her head inside the room.
"Yes Professor?"
"Are you almost finished with the filing Miss Granger?" McGonagall questioned her.
"Yes, is there something I can do for you?"
"I need you to deliver this last bundle to The Location." said McGonagall quietly.
"So they're finished!!" Hermione squealed.
The old lady nodded and smiled as the younger woman danced about in her joy.
"I'll go now and be back before nine to finish the filing for you, just let me grab my cloak." And with that Hermione whirled out of the room.

It was about eight thirty at night as Joanne sat in her big easy chair staring at the fire. She had had a busy day, and had just tucked her little ones into bed for the evening. As it was she was enjoying a few moments of peace and quiet before going to bed herself.
She was quietly reminiscing to her self when her back doorbell rang.
"Who on earth would ring the back at this time of night?" She thought.
Getting up she made her way to the kitchen. Opening her door she peered into the chilly fall night, to discover the figure of a young girl on her doorstep.
"May I help you?" She asked the girl, praying she wasn't one of the paparazzi that kept harassing her daily.
"I was told to deliver this to you." The girl said as she held out a large cylindrical bundle covered in purple velvet and tied with gold chords.
Joanne gasped as she saw it. "That's……"
"Yes", the girl nodded. "It's finally finished."
"Thank you so much." Said Joanne as she took the bundle and held it like a precious newborn.
As the girl turned to leave Joanne called "Wait, Do I know you from somewhere? You seem so familiar."
The girl smiled. "You may have heard of me." She said before disappearing into the night.
Joanne smiled all the way to her office, where she carefully stored the bundle away before going to her desk and picking up the phone. Hands shaking she dialed a number and waited for someone to pick up on the other side.
As soon as they answered she breathed "Gerald, it's me Joanne. It's finished. I know, I know, it's taken a while but I'll have it to you by Friday. Alright, you too. Bye bye."
A/N: Ha-Ha!! All hail the brilliant me! This idea popped into to my head and wouldn't go away until I'd done this. Please review and tell me whatcha think! Cookies for those who know who Joanne is, though it shouldn't be hard.
Thanx all, Cillyme
