Chapter 4

I scream as Voldemort bowls backwards.

I just shot the killing curse at him. Cheers and screams of delight fall around me.

Someone grabs me and kisses me.

I fall into the kiss.

It's Matt. I can tell. He wraps his arms around me. He pulls me close. We break apart. I hug Matt.

"He really is dead, isn't he?" I ask into his chest.

"He is," Matt replies and kisses my forehead.

"HE'S DEAD!" People cheer.

Death Eater's attempt to attack but the Order hold them off. Voldemort's body is moved to the corner of the room and has a green and silver blanket draped over him. Aouor's are called in. All the Death Eaters are trapped and taken to Azkaban. Everything is such a fuzz. But when McGonagall approaches me, everything changes. She has a black eye, a gash across her cheek and her hair that is normally in a tight bun has fallen lose down her back.

"Miss Henrietta, I need to speak to you. And yes, your three friend's can come too," she says.

We follow her out of the great hall and up into Dumbledore's office.

"Lemon Sherbet," Prof. McGonagall says.

We step onto the stairs and we walk to Dumbledore's office.

"Revealeo," she says. Nothing came out. "Good," Prof. McGonagall sighed.

"Henri, I think you should sit down. It's a long story." Prof. McGonagall conjures up five red chairs.

We take a sit. Food appears in front of us. None of us take it.

"It all starts when you were a baby. Sybill Trelawny made a prophecy. It said: A girl of the age of 16 will defeat The Dark Lord or The Dark Lord will defeat her. She will be born on the 20th of September. Her name will be Henrietta Grace Mabel. Only one can survive. In that, Lord Voldemort found out about it. He was so mad. Mad enough to go hunting for you. He found you through your file at the Ministry of Magic. Dumbledore died and then he saw fit to send the Carrow twins here. He broke his entry. And then he came here. Merlin, look where it ended him. Dead."

Prof. McGonagall looked at me with a mixture of emotions. My eyes clouded over. I snuggled into Matt. James and Maisy hugged me too.

I was...well I was...shocked. I s'psose.

My heart hammered in my chest.

"Come on lets go," Matt said and slipped his arm around my waist.

He led me to the Great Hall while the others followed. I entered and I was flooded with hugs and cheers filled my ears. I saw a little brunette through the crowd.

"Grace!" I scream.

I fling myself through the crowd.

"Henri!" She screams back at me.

"Henri!" She screams again and runs at me.

She hugs me. I wrap my arms around her. Her little chest heaves against mine. The tears roll down my cheeks and into her hair. I fell Grace's tears on my hair. I pull away from her little body.

"Hey, it's okay," I say with a shaky laugh.

I can't bear to look at her crying. I wipe her tears away. She smiles a watery smile at me. Her friend, Louis, comes up and hugs her. She likes him. She smiles at me from behind his back. I grin at her. They run off to their other friends hand in hand.

I turn back to Matt. He embraces me. I start to cry into his shoulder.

"What's wrong with my baby?" He asks me.

"Nothing," I reply.

"I love you," He says.

"I love you too," I reply and softly kiss him.

We break apart and I see all the house tables have re-appeared and food lays on them. I see Malis looking extremely uncomfortable with his little brother. I walk to him.

"Hey," he says.

I am flabbergasted.

"Hi, um what are you -?" I begin.

"My father forced it into Ruben and my minds. I am so so so sorry. I would never have harmed you. Ever," Malis says in a quick voice.

"It's okay," I reply.

"Come and join us at the Gryffindor Table," I say.

Malis looks over at Matt. He nods his head. We sit at the table. We eat. We drink. We talk.

Matt and I wander outside.

"Hey," He says.

"Hey," I reply.

He leans in and kisses me. I take this by surprise. But hey, I'm not complaining. I join in with the kiss. I feel him poke his tongue into my mouth. I let him in. I take this by surprise too. I can feel the early morning sun on my back.

"We're going ooooonnnn! And it lights it's way to dddaawwwnnnnn!"

Matt and I quickly jump apart, gasping for air. I run my hand down the side of his face.

"Henri," he moaned huskily.

I turn and see James and Maisy hurrying towards us.

"We're going ooooonnnn! And it lights it's way to dddaawwwnnnnn!"

Maisy runs and hugs me. James and Matt do their secret handshake business.

"You know, it took me all my strength to stop James from coming down earlier," Maisy jokes.

"Oh, I bet," I reply.

our backs. We splash and get thrown up by the Giant Squid. The water is refreshing.

I kiss Matt a couple more times. We splash and get out of the lake after three hours. We sit wrapped in our towels under the huge oak tree.

My head on Matt's lap. Maisy's head on James' lap. I think how lucky we are.

And with that, the second part of my story is told.
