Chapter 2

The-Boy-Who-Conquered stirred. "Harry, Harry, come on Harry you've got to wake up already. Please wake up Harry." His eyes fluttered open. Harry noticed Madam Pomphrey was standing by his bed in the hospital wing. He then noticed that here were other people standing at the base of his bed who he didn't recognise.

"Umm Ma'am, not that I'm not happy to see you or anything but who are those people standing at the base of my bed I can't see that far without my glasses, but they don't look familiar."

"See for yourself" Said Madam Pomphrey smugly handing Harry is glasses.

"Sirius?! Mom?! Dad?! What, how, but…" began Harry. "I told him not to, I told that I wanted their magic gone. What happened how are you here."

"Harry, we were told what to said to Death about how it wouldn't be fair if we got to come back and the others didn't. we are so proud of you for making that choice and Death said he agrees with you, so he sent us all back." informed James "He sent me, Lily, Sirius, Remus, Dora, Fred, Mad-eye, Dumbledore, and everyone else that lost their lives in this second war so long as they were fighting for the light."

Harry was speechless. Death had sent them all back? What had he done to deserve this? He was about to question if this was right at all when he remembered that everyone had come back, not just his friends and family but everyone who had fought for the light is the second war.

"Okay now I have just two questions. Did he fulfil his promise and take all their magic, are all the death eaters now muggles? And is Snape alive too?" Harry asked all who were assembled before him.

"Yes, every one that is alive is now in the Great Hall and will remain there for a few days. Also, the Long bottoms have recovered and are also in the Great Hall. Yes, Harry he did take all their magic and make them muggles." Said Sirius. He then turned to James "You know Jamie boy I think that your son has just pulled off the greatest prank of all time. Making death munchers Muggles! Genius!" James and Lily just smiled.

"Harry! You're wake!" Squealed Ginny, running over to him.

"Thank Goodness, I thought that I'd lost you again, but Madam Pomphrey said that you were just magically exhausted. Harry, I don't care what you say I love you and I want to be with you even after all these crazy stunts you keep pulling and yes even though you broke up with me I don't care I love you Harry James Potter!" declared Ginny for all the assembled to know. Harry just hugged has hard as he could and said that he loved her too and wanted to be with her.

"Guys, I need to go find Ron, Hermione, Neville and Luna. I need to thank them for doing what they have, for standing up with me. I need to thank them for being my friends and for taking as much of my burden as I would let them."

"Ok Harry we'll be helping around here when you come back. Your trip might take a bit longer than you expect though as I imagen that there are lots of people that want to talk to you out there." Said Lily.

"By the way, Ron and Hermione and in Gryffindor and Neville and Luna are in Ravenclaw." Added Ginny. Harry got up and left the hospital wing. As Lily predicted there was a large crowd of people all vying for Harry's attention. He ignored them all and pushed on. It wasn't until he heard a loud "Harry James Potter! Don't you dare think that you are walking past me without a word" did he finally stop. Molly Weasley was standing behind him looking down-right furious.

"Mrs Weasley, why don't we find an empty classroom quickly." Harry suggested. Molly just nodded at him. Once they were in the classroom Molly exploded

"Harry! Thank You! Thank you so much for what you have done for me and my family. We owe you so much. First you befriended Ron, who I know can be insurable at times, then you save Ginny from the chamber. Then you saved Ron from the lake. Then you gave George and Fred the money for their shop. Oh, don't act so surprised of course I know where it came from. When I heard that you had started dating my baby girl I had never been happier. Until today that is. Today you brought one of my children back. You gave me one of my babies back." Mrs Weasley had dissolved into tears by now.

"Now Mrs Weasley, you should know by now that you don't have to thank me. Ron was my first friend ever. He was the one that truly introduced we to the wizarding world. Ginny was not only my best friend's sister but also my friend so of course I would do what I could to save her. Ron wouldn't have been in the lake if it wasn't for me and I didn't give the money to the twins I invested it in a business that I knew would make bucket loads of money. I fell in love with your daughter and would like to propose to her later if that would be alright with you. And Fred… while Fred sort of just happened, I didn't ask for it, but it just happened. But anyway, I love your family like it was my own because you have always made me feel like I was one of your own. And speaking of family if you go into the hospital wing you can meet my parents, they came back too." Said Harry while comforting her. "I've got to go now to find my friends. Why don't you go and meet my parents?"

Mrs Weasley nodded and then said "Harry I would be delighted if you were to propose to my daughter. I see you as one of my own and besides out would mean I would be able to plan another wedding!"

Harry just laughed and excused himself. He was happy fight now. He had a lovely girlfriend and he had his parents back.

Harry made his way up to the Gryffindor common room to find his best friends.

The two people that were in the Gryffindor common room didn't even notice when he climbed through the portrait hole. They were far to occupied snogging to notice very much. Harry just smiled he had always wondered just how long it was going to take these two to give into their mutual feeling for one another. he had just found out and he was even happier that he had previously been.

"Hem, hem" said Harry in a very good imitation of Umbridge. Ron and Hermione leapt away from each other. They both looked at Harry, who was struggling to not burst out laughing.

"Now Ron is this really the best time to make good on those feeling that we've been discussing for seven years. I mean we just won the war, Fred's alive and I'm planning to propose to your sister later are you sure you want to be senseless from all this snogging." Smirked Harry.

"what… what… Sister propose, Fred, snogging, what's going on."

"Honestly, Ron you look like you've seen a ghost. Harry's just pulling your leg, aren't you Harry?" said Hermione. She gasped when she saw that Harry was shaking his head while smiling.

"You mean to tell me that Fred has come back to life. Spill Potter!" she demanded.

"Okay, okay clam down so I can tell you what happened after I defeated Voldemort." Said Harry, "when I collapsed, I found myself back in the same stark white Kings cross that I found myself after Voldemort killed me. Except this time, I didn't see Dumbledore I saw Fate and Death, Capital F and D. Death thanked me for beating Voldemort as he was close to immortality and gave me one wish. I chose, after much thinking for every person that supported Voldemort when he started duelling me to have their magic striped and for them to become muggles. He has now done this. Next Fate apologised to me for dumping all of this upon my shoulders and granted me one wish. I asked that never again will someone have to carry a burden as great as mine. He says that he has done this, but I won't live to see it as it is going to happen too many years down the line. I then woke up to see my parents and Sirius. They informed me that Death had lived up to his promise and striped the magic from the death eaters. They then told me that Fate and Death sent back everyone that died fighting for the light during the second war. That means Remus, Tonks, Dumbledore, Fred, Mad-eye, and everyone else. They then said that Neville's parents have recovered and have joined the resurrected in the Great hall where they will all stay for the next few days. So, I ask you again Ron are you going to continue being snogged senseless or are you going to see your brother." Said Harry

Ron and Hermione just sat there. For once it was Ron that came to first and told Hermione that he was going to see Fred and the family and would be back later. Then just before he left the common room he stopped and asked, "and what's this got to do with my sister?"

"Oh nothing, just that your mum has given me permission to ask the to marry me which I intend to do later. So, if you could not mention it to anyone that would be wonderful." Replied Harry.

"Oh, Okay then. See you guys later." And with that he promptly left the room. Harry and Hermione burst out laughing.

"You know Hermione, I'm coming with you when you go to Australia to fetch your parents. I haven't forgotten what you gave up for this war, for me."

"Thanks Harry, I know that you would never forget about a friend." Said Hermione as she drew Harry into one of her bone-crushing hugs. "You never have and never will. It's just not you,"

"Okay now I've got to go see Neville and Luna. See you later Hermione."

"Wait Harry, you know who else is alive… Cedric." Said Hermione. Harry's face lit up.

"I'll have to go talk to him after Neville and Luna." And with those parting words Harry left to make his way to the Ravenclaw common room.

When Harry arrived at the portrait he noticed that it had been kept open. This meant that he could enter without knocking. as he walked in Luna jumped up and dived on him "Harry!" she yelled.

"Hey Luna, Hey Neville. How's it going guys. Ron and Hermione are officially together at last and the rest of us can finally stop putting up with all the will they won't they stuff that's been going on for years. Also, I come bearing good news for you Neville. Your Parents have made a full recovery and are in the Great hall. In fact, everyone that has died fighting in this second war is alive provided they died fighting for the light. Oh, and by the way, all death eaters are muggles now. They had their magic striped from them." Said Harry smiling. Neville and Luna's mouths were now wide open. They could not believe what Harry had just said.

"How…?" this was all Luna could say. Neville couldn't say anything as he was still processing the fact that his parents were better and that they were in the castle at this very moment.

Harry told them the same story that he had told Hermione and Ron.

"Neville. Go see your parents. Harry will stay with me for now and we'll be down soon." Said Luna

Neville just nodded and started walking towards to portrait.

"Luna, why is it that you wanted me to stay here with you? Is something wrong?" asked Harry

"Your parents are back aren't they Harry" it hit Harry like the knight's bus. Luna's mum was dead, and her dad was in Azkaban.

"Oh Luna, come here. Getting you dad back to you is now my number one priority. I mean I'm pretty sure the ministry owes me a few favours for doing their jobs for them. I'll make sure that your dad is returned to you within a week if I must fetch him from Azkaban myself I'll do it. Don't you worry you'll have him back soon." Consoled Harry. "That is what was wrong wasn't it"

Luna just nodded.

"Come on, lets go see everyone else and see if there is anything that we can do for anyone." Said Harry.
