A/n: *Peeks out from behind Computer* Hi is there anyone still interested in this story? Well I really hope so... Anyway I am not going to sit here and make excuses for my lack of writing I just hope you enjoy what I have gotten together for you.

This chapter has quite a few exerts from HBP. All of the italicized sentences are from the book. I attempted to put my own things in along with cutting the scences down cause I mean your reading my Fanfic not the Book

Disclaimer! I DO NOT OWN Harry Potter or any of the character

Harry and Lupin were walking back to the Hospital wing

"So you witnessed Snape..." Remus trailed off

Harrys head dropped "Yes"

Remus sigh "Oh Merlin, we need to figure out where we go from here" He looked like he was just talking to himself.

"I'm going to find him and make him pay" Harry swore

Remus didn't seem to hear him as they entered the wing.

Harry and Ginny's eyes met across the room and they smile at each other. Remus walked over to where everyone was gathere

A movement caught Harrys attention and he looked over to see Ron shuffling over with his head down.

"Um... Harry- Mate. I uh, want to say I'm sorry for how I reacted to the news" Ron stuttered

Harry was shocked but thankful that his friend had calmed down and became accepting of the situation they were in.

"It's ok Ron it is shocking news, News I haven't fully come to believe just yet" Harry admitted

"Oh..." Ron said awkwardly shifting his weight around.

Harry Scanned the now filled up Hospital Wing. Madam Pomfrey scurried around looking at all the injuries.

Harry nodded at Ron and walked over to Ginny who was sitting up in the bed talking to Hermione.

Harry tried to ignore the nagging sadness in his head that reminded him that tonight they lost Dumbledore.

When he reached Ginny she she extended her hand to him and pulled him on to the bed with her.

"So... who else is dead?" Harry hesitantly asked

"Don't worry, none of us." Ginny tried to soothe Harrys worry

"But the Dark Mark - Malfoy said he stepped over a body -"

"He stepped over Bill, but its all right, he's alive. See." Hermione cut in while Ginny pointed over to where Madam Pomfrey was right now talking with Fleur and fussing over Bill's bandages

"What exactly happened?" Harry asked

"Greyback attacked him. Madam Pomfrey says he won't - won't look the same anymore. . . ." Ginny's voice trembled a little. Harry Hugged her close to him her warm body soothing him

"We don't really know what the aftereffects will be - I mean, Greyback being a werewolf, but not transformed at the time." Hermione cut in

"Ok... well whatabout the others . . . There were other bodies on the ground. . . ."

"Neville and Professor Flitwick are both hurt, but Madam Pomfrey says they'll be all right. And a Death Eater's dead, he got hit by a Killing Curse that huge blond one was firing off everywhere - Harry, if we hadn't had your Felix potion, I think we'd all have been killed, but everything seemed to just miss us -"

Harry looked around andsaw a lot of DA members with cuts and bruises

"I wish I would have followed Snape" Harry muttered

Ginny rubbed Harrys back "Thank you for not... I needed you" she touched her stomach "we needed you" Harrys eyes filled with tears and he kissed Ginny.

Suddenly there was a sound and everyone became silent

Somewhere out in the darkness, a phoenix was singing in a way Harry had never heard before: a stricken lament of terrible beauty. And Harry felt, as he had felt about phoenix song before, that the music was inside him, not without: It was his own grief turned magically to song that echoed across the grounds and through the castle windows.

How long they all stood there, listening, he did not know, nor why it seemed to ease their pain a little to listen to the sound of their mourning, but it felt like a long time later that the hospital door opened again and Professor McGonagall entered the ward. Like all the rest, she bore marks of the recent battle: There were grazes on her face and her robes were ripped. She looked over at the four teens sitting around Ginny's bed

"How are you all" she asked, and the spell of the music was broken: Everyone roused themselves as though coming out of trances The next half hour was spent going into detail about the battle. Harry stayed silent and listened. Harry and Ginny explained what happened in the tower. After an argument sparked between Mrs. Weasley and Fleur that was quickly solved, then Tonks brought up the on going argument Remus and her have been going on for a while. Suddenly the hospital doors opened and Hagrid walked in.

The little of his face that was not obscured by hair or beard was soaking and swollen; he was shaking with tears, a vast, spotted handkerchief in his hand.

"I've . . . I've done it, Professor," he choked. "M-moved him. Professor Sprout's got the kids back in bed. Professor Flitwick's lyin down, but he says he'll be all righ' in a jiffy, an' Professor Slughorn says the Ministry's bin informed."

"Thank you, Hagrid," said Professor McGonagall, standing up at once and turning to look at the group she continued. "I shall have to see the Ministry when they get here. Hagrid, please tell the Heads of Houses - Slughorn can represent Slytherin - that I want to see them in my office forthwith. I would like you to join us too."

As Hagrid nodded, turned, and shuffled out of the room again, she looked down at Harry. "Before I meet them I would like a quick word with you, Harry. If you'll come with me. ..."

Harry Got up and kissed Ginny murmured a goodbye to the others and followed to McGonagalls new office, Cause she was the new headmistress. They got to the office and she sat down and sighed

"You have had quite a night" She said quietly "Harry," she said, "I would like to know what you and Professor Dumbledore were doing this evening when you left the school."

"I Have told Remus and the others I can't tell you that, Professor," said Harry. He had expected the question again and had his answer ready. It had been here, in this very room, that Dumbledore had told him that he was to confide the contents of their lessons to nobody but Ron, Hermione and Ginny.

"Harry, it might be important," said Professor McGonagall.

"It is," said Harry, "very, but he didn't want me to tell anyone."

This went on until the other professors Came in and she gave up on it. There was discussions on the school closing for next year and was concluded by agreement to talk to the governors. The Heads also Discussed Dumbledores funeral and Harry jumped in with his opinion It was decided that the funeral would be held and then the student would go home.

When it was announced that the minister was there Harry asked to be dismissed.

He sped down the spiral staircase and off along the deserted corridor; he-had left his Invisibility Cloak at the top of the Astronomy Tower, but it did not matter; there was nobody in the corridors to see him pass, not even Filch, Mrs. Norris, or Peeves. He did not meet another soul until he turned into the passage leading to the Gryffindor common room.

"Is it true?" whispered the Fat Lady as he approached her. "It is really true? Dumbledore - dead?"

"Yes," said Harry.

She let out a wail and, without waiting for the password, swung forward to admit him.

As Harry had suspected it would be, the common room was jam-packed. The room fell silent as he climbed through the portrait hole. He saw Dean and Seamus sitting in a group nearby: This meant that the dormitory must be empty, or nearly so. Without speaking to anybody, without making eye contact at all, Harry walked straight across the room and through the door to the boys' dormitories.

Ron was there fully dressed, sitting on his bed. Harry sat down on his own four-poster and for a moment, they simply stared at each other.

"They're talking about closing the school," said Harry.

"Lupin said they would," Ron finally spoke.

There was a pause.

"So? Who do you reckon R.A.B is?" said Ron in a very low voice, as though he thought the furniture might be listening in. Harry lowered his head. All that had taken place around that black lake seemed like an old nightmare now; had it really happened, and only hours ago?

"I really don't know" said Harry.

Harry pulled the fake locket from his pocket, and shut his fist around it. His eyes prickled with tears. It did not matter tonight. Who R.A.B was, why there was a fake . . . nothing mattered except the end, the end of their pointless adventure, the end of Dumbledore's life. . . .

He felt no curiosity at all about R.A.B.: He doubted that he would ever feel curious again. As he lay there, he became aware suddenly that the grounds were silent. Fawkes had stopped singing. And he knew, without knowing how he knew it, that phoenix had gone, had left Hogwarts for good, just as Dumbledore had left the school, had left the world . . . had left Harry.

He needed Ginny. Harry suddenly stood up and went to his trunk and rummaged through his belonging finding what he needed. He found it and walk to to door wordlessly.

"Where you goin'" Ron asked

"Back to the Hospital Wing" Harry said

Ron grunted back in answer and laid back in bed.

As Harry made his way back he reflected on the nights events both good and bad.

First Dumbledore was dead. That left Harry to follow through with the Horcrux hunt. Then there was the fact Ginny was carrying his child. He was going to be a father in approximately 9 months. How was this going to work? How were they going to try defeat Voldemort while Ginny is Pregnant.

He wasn't able to finish the thought cause he had just walked on to the Hospital wing and quickly found small arms wrap around him.

"I was worried you weren't coming back tonight." Ginny whispered

Harry put a finger under her chin and raised it up. And kissed he lightly but passionately oblivious to his surroundings. The action made Ginny's stomach jump.

"I'll always come back" He answered breaking the kiss "Ginny..." He started than stopped taking her hand and guiding her to the bed they sat down.

Ginny stayed silent knowing Harry would speak when ready.

"I love you, And Im immensely happy that we have created a life together even in this time of war and death. I'm hoping that this is a sign that everything will turn out." Harry had a lump in his throat.

Ginny's Eyes teared at his words

Harry chuckled "I'm sorry that this is going to sound corny but-" Harry cut himself off and got down off the bed and on to one knee. and took the velvet box out of his robe pockets and opened it "Ginevra Molly Weasley, I love you so very much, And would you please not only do the honor of mothering my child but becoming my wife, and best friend as well forever."
