Chapter 7

Further Altering the Aftermath

February 24, 2009

Lio's House

'...with the objects in hand the three brothers had left for their designated places. The oldest brother with his new wand had slain his bitter rival in a duel. With the crowd watching after the oldest brother defeated his enemy, he boasted about his invincibility. But then one night while sleeping, a thief snuck in, took the oldest brother's wand, and slit his throat. And so Death took the first brother for his own. The medium age brother went back home, turned the stone thrice, and before him was the love of his life who he was supposed to marry before she met with an unfortunate fate which caused her her life. But days after, she felt sad for she did not belong in the world she once lived anymore. Driven by sorrow and despair the medium age brother committed suicide and Death took the second brother for his own. But as for the youngest brother, Death searched high and low, near and far over and underwater and inside the soils of Earth for him but was not able to find him until he greatly aged when he passed his cloak to his son. When the youngest brother saw Death again, he treated him as an old friend and went with him willingly. For they departed the mortal world as equals.'

After Lio finished that story he finished the book as well. He saw Cho sleeping next to him on the couch Lio place his hand on her forehead and started to stroke her smooth cheeks and brush her silky hair.

She's so beautiful when she sleeping.

A little while later Cho woke up and saw Lio.

"Had a nice nap?" Lio asked.

"I sure did. Finished the book?"

"Yeah the 'Tale Of The Three Brothers' happens to be the best tale yet that I read. Now you said that fairy tale is not a fairy tale. Why is that."

"Luna told me that the items the three brothers had are also known as the Deathly Hallows." Cho took her wand and formed the Hallows symbol. "The line of the symbol represents the Elder Wand, the most power wand in the world. The circle of the symbol represents the Ressurection Stone. The stone that could bring loved ones back to life. And last but not least the triangle of the symbol represents the Cloak of Invisibility. Together they form the Deathly Hallows."

"Cho, what would happen if somebody manage to obtain all three?"

"Only one was able to do it. Now it cannot be be done. If all three was joined they would make the obtainer the master of death."

"Who was the only one to do this?"

"The very man you saw before you first found me."

Lio had to rethink about the incident at the warehouse. Before he saw Cho he saw Harry chasing after Umbridge which gave him his answer.

"Harry. He told me about your years in your wizard school. But he also..."

'Cho...'

Cho started to hear a voice from out of nowhere and wondered where was it coming from.

"Cho?"

"I'm hearing something."

'Cho... Come to the Forbidden Forest.'

Fortunately Lio could also hear this voice.

"Now I hear it too. The Forbidden Forest?"

"A place that's near my school. It's where I would spend some of my detentions there."

Cho grabbed her wand and was ready to apparate her and Lio to the Forbidden Forest.

"Wait."

Lio went to his bedroom and got his gun along with a silencer. Then came back to Cho.

"Do you really need to carry that?"

"For a place that has 'forbidden' in the name? Yes. Besides, we probably might need to help someone there."

"You're right."

That afternoon, Cho and Lio apparated to the Forbidden Forest, and it was quiet.

"So who lives here?" Lio asked.

"Many creatures, but most of them are friendly. The centaurs, and thestrals are our friends."

"What are thestrals?"

"Gentle creatures. According to Luna, you would only see them if you experience seeing a death."

"Who did you see die?"

For Lio to ask that, it felt like he offended her but she knew he was only asking and that he didn't ask just to hurt her.

"My late boyfriend. Cedric Diggory, mostly."

"I'm sorry to ask that. But as for me I was there for my mom's final minutes."

"What happened?"

"A rare heart condition."

Suddenly they heard rustling of the leaves and decided to be prepared to attack anything. Suddenly Firenze shows up and sees Cho and Lio.

"Cho Chang?"

"Firenze."

"What are you doing here? You already graduated Hogwarts."

"I was hearing Cedric in my head he told me to come here."

Just them another centaur came and spoke to Firenze.

"What is it?"

"Yaxley. He's battling Harry and Ron. For something."

"Where are they?" Cho asked.

"Just southwest of me."

"Okay we'll go." Cho said.

"Yeah, it's probably best." Firenze replied and Cho and Lio went in the direction the centaur said. Halfway there they heard an explosion.

"What was that?" Lio asked.

"I don't know." They hurried just in time to hide behind a rock. And spy on Yaxley standing over Harry with one of his foot on Harry's arm. And also see Ron stunned on the floor as well. The other Aurors, Kingsley, and Hermione were there.

"Congratulations Hermione, You prevented a third wizarding war and had successfully stopped me from bringing back the Dark Lord. Your prize: is the decision of who should die. Will it be the hero here; Harry, or your hero here; Ron?"

"Kill me Yaxley, I threw the stone at Ron!" Harry said.

"No, kill me! I stalled into giving the stone to you. Plus I threw it to Hermione!" Ron replied

"So very true, but I said Hermione is to choose. If you don't I'll make the decision for you. You have to the count to 10."

Yaxley pointed his wand downwards to a spot between Harry and Ron and counted. Lio now placed the silencer on his gun and was aiming at Yaxley.

"1..." Yaxley counted.

"Lio what are you doing?" Cho asked silently.

"I'm waiting... For the right moment." Lio replied.

"2..." Yaxley pointed his wand at Harry. Cho brought Lio down.

"If Yaxley sees us he will kill both of them."

"And if nothing is done now the decision will go the same way."

"3... 4..." Yaxley had pointed his wand at Ron now. When he got to 6 he pointed it back at Ron and when he got to 8 his wand was pointed back at Harry.

"9... I'm almost to 10 Hermione."

"Cho something needs..."

"Yaxley, you'd be going back on your threat if you'd kill them. You said in your patronus you'd kill anybody if they got in your way." Hermione said.

"Yes that's true, and Harry and Ron here was stupid to do that."

"Yes but it was I who stopped you. I was the one who destroyed the stone. So if you are man enough to stay to your word you would kill me."

"Hermione..." Harry said.

"Don't you dare!" Ron shouted.

"Come on Yaxley. For if you don't, a mudblood will make your life miserable for years to come."

"That threat will not stand."

"Hermione, No!" Ron yelled as Yaxley pointed to Hermione. Lio pointed his gun at Yaxley's wand.

"I have a shot."

"Avada Ked-"

Lio pulled the trigger and the bullet broke Yaxley's wand it was so silent that nobody heard it. Yaxley looked at his broken wand and Cho had came up.

"Stupefy!" a stunning spell shot out stunning Yaxley, quickly the Aurors had got to Yaxley and put him in a body binding curse. Kingsley went to Cho and Lio while Lio was undoing the silencer from his gun. Yaxley saw them and yelled in anger cursing them both.

"What would be worse than a muggle-born soon rising to help make this world a better place you ask Yaxley? How about the fact that you had just been thwarted by a muggle?" Kingsley said.

"Curse you Muggles! And curse all of you! Trust me when I say that you will never be safe! I'll get out and Kill all of you!" Yaxley continued to curse them. And Lio and Cho hugged each other. Hours later Kingsley, Cho and Lio were at St. Mungo's talking while walking to Harry's room.

"So what was happening?" Lio asked.

"A while back we found out that Harry's mind was invaded by two people who Yaxley hired to find out about the stone and where he dropped it." Kingsley replied.

"Did you find those people."

"Of course but one died during interrogation."

"How?"

"They made an unbreakable vow."

"Is that even a spell?"

"Yes and an deadly one at that."

"How does it work?"

"Once the spell is cast you ask the person a question in the form of a vow either it be one or two or more. If you break that or any other vow mentioned your body will be white plaided then you die."

"Instantly?"

"Yes."

Lio suddenly got a call from one of his friends.

"Yeah."

"Hey it's me Miles. Listen, right now we would need you but not at the moment just need assistance. Be with us in 10 minutes."

"Okay." Lio hung up and told Cho. "In 10 minutes I got to go help my friends. It shouldn't be long but after should we celebrate by having dinner?"

"Yes."

"We're here." Kingsley said. They went in and saw Harry in an arm cast. He woke up at them coming in.

"Hey Harry. How's it going?" Kingsley asked.

"Other than the fact that they was too careful that they made my treatment worse and that I'll be having this cast for the next two months I'm fine." Harry replied joking in which they all laughed.

"Quit with the joking Harry I talked to the doctor and they said you'll be okay in 4 days."

"You saved us Lio. Thank you."

"Yeah." Lio said. "And you want to know something? I don't need to be a wizard. I mean after all, you saw what advantages I had being a muggle."

"I see. So I see he told you about..."

"Yes he did. But like I said before, I'll keep it a secret even if it means taking it to my grave."

"But how did you know where we was going to be?"

"It was a lucky coincidence I wanted to show Lio the Forbidden Forest and we came to see you and Ron fighting with Yaxley I could have shot a spell at him but as Yaxley threatened he would kill you."

"Plus I was able to read Hermione's book of The Tales of Beetle the Bard during your birthday I asked Hermione if I could borrow it for a while after Cho mentioned it and I was able to read the Tale of the Three Brothers. Although I'm glad you two was able to get rid of those Hallows plus it's suiting since both original heirs of those are dead don't you think?"

"Yeah, I totally agree."

"Plus that story gave me a theory on each hallow. Should I start with the stone?"

"Yeah."

"For the stone it said it can bring loved ones back to life but in the end the one who didn't want to be brought back ended up being sad for she didn't belong on Earth did she?"

"Yeah."

"My theory: You must have known as well to go for the stone and destroy it. Suppose if that stone was able to bring back those who want to stay on Earth, those that didn't want to belong where they should belong after death? It would have been my fear as well if the positions was changed Harry. Suppose the stone's real purpose was just to bring back those from the dead, loved or hated?"

"That theory of yours just relieves me even more to know that the stone is destroyed."

"Well I'm glad to hear that. As much as I would like to continue my theories I need to go I got to finish a case that I was working on. I forgot I was working on that."

"Oh, Lio..." Kingsley said as he was walking out with him to talk about the reward. Cho looked at Harry while she was leaving when she got to the door she spoke to him.

"If Lio asked you about us being together even after Umbridge used me to flush us out. You were right. Somewhere deep down we would have broken up because of my problems. But anyway, I'm glad I'm with Lio and you're with Ginny."

"Well thanks for saving me again, Cho."

"Not me, Lio saved you. Besides after he's done I'm supposed to go on a date with him. Come to find out he's younger than he looks, he's 22. And boy, will he know what he's in for."

"Cho, just don't hurt him or break his heart. He seems like a really great guy."

"He is, I've been dating him for almost 7 months and he's so sensitive as much as he is courageous and heroic. He's beginning to be more than I can handle and I love to be smothered by it. Feel better Harry."

Cho left the room and saw Lio walking to Cho. Lio gave her a hug and a kiss.

"'You wanted to show me the forest?'"

"It was bound to happen soon. It was my intention. 'You got a case to finish?'"

"My assistance could involve a case I was working on. But anyway I hope I could finish it in time."

"I hope so too."

After another Kiss Cho and Lio apparated to where Lio needed to go. After returning to her house, Kingsley came and spoke to her.

"Cho could I speak to you for a moment?"

"Sure what about?"

"Well besides the reward, I was hoping well there will be no hard feeling if you say no."

"Why, what is it?"

"Well would you consider working in the Ministry as an Auror?"

"Me, an Auror?"

"Yes."

"I never would have thought about it but with what I know and what I'm good for, sure I'll take that offer."

"Okay but when will you be able to start."

"March 1st?"

"Just perfect, that's when I plan on giving an press conference on the new law about sentencing. I could announce your start at the ministry."

"That'll be great." Cho said.

"Well then okay. I'll see you at the first."

"Okay!"

After Kingsley left and hours later after Lio finished and paid a visit to a mother and a son whose father/husband was killed by the Death Eaters, he came back to Cho and picked her up to go to dinner on their date once finished they went back and made love almost all night. Once March 1st came Kingsley, Cho, and Lio was there at the conference. They told Harry and his friends and family about a planned trip to the amusement park paid for all who come. Lio and Cho spent the rest of that day celebrating Ron's birthday on one of the sites of where Harry, Ron, and Hermione stayed during their Horcrux hunt. Weeks later when the Auror/Detective division was formed. Lio along with Miles, and their other two friends, Jack and Ned, were talking they all were partners of their unit.

"You helped end an era?" Jack asked.

"Not completely, but yeah. Me and Cho helped save wizards and stopped another war."

"Wow! My only question is where were we?" Ned asked. "You should have told us."

"At the time I couldn't. if I ever told I would lose the privilege."

"Oh and only when we took this pledge you would tell us." Miles replied. "Well we're all here now, just us four."

"Actually five." Lio and his friends looked at Cho who was looking at Lio mostly.

"And who might you be?" Ned asked.

"Miles, Jack, Ned this is Cho Chang the Death Eater Era Ender, a witch..."

"And your new Auror partner and Lio's girlfriend."

"What else couldn't you tell before this?" Jack asked.

"You'll find out." No sooner Lio said that, Harry came down. And visited them.

"Hey Lio, Cho." Harry said.

"Hey Harry. I'd like to introduce you to my friends. Ned, Miles, and Jack. Guys meet the wizard that secured out futures."

"The infamous Harry Potter." Jack said.

"You must be of great importance to catch our best friends attention."

"Somewhat like that."

"I can't believe I'm meeting a famous wizard here. What other names were you?" Ned asked.

"I was called the 'Chosen One' and mostly the 'Boy Who Lived.'"

"Harry survived a curse that was supposed to kill him. But his mother's love protected him. Henceforth why he was named the 'Boy Who Lived.'"

"Wow! Well are you part of our group as well."

"Partially, I'm also working with other Aurors as well."

"Well okay." Miles said and they kept on talking more about everything they could think of.
