Observing and The Gathering Of Unusual Friends

I'm certain that the war has changed Harry. I know it's changed everyone – I wouldn't have took a life if I could have helped it before this war – but Harry has changed the most. The torture has made him darker then his pre-war self. His mind though has suffered the most damage. Sometimes Harry can sit and look out of a window for hours, curl up in a ball and relieve the terrors he suffered at the hands of Voldemort and the Death Eaters, become cold and distant or just simply burst into tears for what had happened and keep apologising to the dead for the fact he couldn't save them.

Hermione had no idea as to what to do. If Luna had been alive, then perhaps he could have spoken to her – both knowing death from an early age. Then again, Luna would have proberly stripped naked and danced around him to clear away the Nargles or something like that! It was as she was reading about different ways to execute people in the muggle world that the idea came upon her. Lupin knew about the muggle world, and would use his last request in a way that would involve it. All Hermione had to do was to contact the most powerful person on the planet.

She looked up at that moment to see Harry climbing out of the common room window, and she dropped her back as she ran to grab him. On a bad day he had been known to go for a long walk off the short pier of the Great lake, or start to carry out his mornings whilst completely nude. Although this was bad in itself, Harry had had to receive medical treatment when one poor first year girl thought a certain part of Harry's body was a basilisk and attacked it with stunners. Hermione did her best to help Harry, but she knew that once the last of those who had failed him had been dealt with, he would get back to being a more-or-less normal Harry. The weekend of the trial had found the surviving members finishing preparations for the trial and Harry and group moving to Grimmauld Place. Harry had oddly been getting much calmer and more level headed as the date came nearer, and this pleased Hermione a great deal.

"Sir… we have a phone call for you" a Bishop said.

"Oh that'll be that pizza place again I expect" said the other man. "Honestly… You order one pizza from there and they ask you for permission to add your name to their leaflets…" the man muttered before sitting behind his desk. He reached out and picked up the phone and spoke after looking at the number of who was calling. "Vatican Taxi service" he called happily.

'You sound to be in a good mood, Karol' said the woman on the other end of the phone.

"Well you know… I'm a priest, so it comes with the job" the man chuckled. "And what can I do for you, Liz?" he asked.

"'Well we have a bit of a problem, and I'm in need of your help' came the reply.

A/N:

Well I'll warn you now that if the next chapter doesn't lose me readers, then I don't know what will. I'll give you three clue 1) The Queen and the Pope together 2) A couple of assault rifles 3) The trials

I know I said it would be a little while before a new chapter, but I have news to tell and I didn't want to just post a chapter of A/N, so I wrote a little short one for you. Destiny has sadly been declared a complete loss and is dead. I could only save a few things like the on/off switch and the led lights. However, there was a first as Destiny must be the first PC to have ever been buried with a priest in attendance! I honestly tell the truth!

After that was done, I went out, shouted at the people who "fixed" her and said I was going to sue them for a number of things. Then I went and brought a new PC which I have named Symphony. I would ask you all to welcome her to the fanfic community.

Curaantly, she is in the middle of a total memory dump of information which at last check should take 120 hours to complete. Nearly everything was stored on various memory sticks or other things, but I lost the episodes of The Worst Witch that I had stored on her. So if anyone has complete episodes from Season 1, 2 or 3 that they can share in WMV or realplayer format then I'd be grateful. And before you ask it, the 90's tv homage in the last chapter was The Worst Witch based on the books by Jill Murphy. As I said before, I'm going back to the shows I love and this was one of them. To help you, the names of the people Harry asked for help staffing Hogwarts are all major characters. Another interesting fact, the actress that played Miss Hardbroom was offered a part in Harry Potter like hers in The Worst Witch, but turned it down – presumably a female Snape as has been rumoured.

Now I've looked and read all the TWW fics here, and there isn't a decent one. So I guess I'll have to write one then! Must have something to write after I finish this fic in a fortnight. The final chapter – Chapter 12 – will be at minimum of 20,000 words long and should be done for the middle of next month. The next chapter - chapter 11 - will be a standard 4000 plus word chapter

Hoping someone can help me with The Worst Witch episodes,
