Notes: Wrote this while waiting in the Jury pool to be selected to be on a panel, yeah, that's all I can say. Thanks to the lovely earthdragon for the beta work! Thank you for making my stuff so much better. I'd be running around like a house elf with its head cut off it wasn't for you! Ilu!
When Harry Potter was one year old, He-Who-Must-Never-Be-Named murdered his parents, James and Lily Potter. Harry, having survived the Killing Curse, became The-Boy-Who-Lived and disappeared from our world.
When Harry was eleven, he started his first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, marking his return to the wizarding world.
When he entered his fourth year of magical education, Harry became a Tri-wizard Champion and along with fighting dragons, rescuing friends from the bottom of a lake, and questing through a labyrinth, witnessed the return of You-Know-Who.
When Harry turned seventeen, he left school in pursuit of his parents' murderer. Just before his eighteenth birthday, Harry was able to avenge their deaths and rid the world of a great evil.
Here at The Daily Prophet, we have worked tirelessly over the last Twenty years to bring our readers the monumental events that Harry Potter has brought about in our history, and we are proud and honored to add yet another event to our list. Today, at the tender age of Twenty-one, Harry James Potter, The-Boy-That-Saved-Us-All, held a rare conference to publicly announce his engagement to long-time girlfriend, Ginevra Molly Weasley. Let's send our best wishes to the happy couple. Perhaps after al the tragedy in his young life, Harry may begin the next chapter in his life with well deserved happiness.
Ron barely read the last line of the article before he felt the rise of bile in his throat. Running into the bathroom, he held his head over the toilet and purged the contents of his dinner. It was to much for him too handle. He knew what he shared with Harry had been a brief affair — it was foolish of him to think that Harry would leave Ginny for him. With a shaky hand and blurry eyes, he pushed the toilet lever and watched as his dinner and his heart went down in the drain.
