Harry was standing there trembling. He had heard the conversation and lost control of his emotions.

"Harry how did you do that?" James asked.

"I lost control of my emotions, I'm sorry." He hung his head and turned to leave.

"Harry wait! I am not mad at you at all! That was brilliant I want to know how you did that!"

Harry thought for a second and then nodded as though he had decided something.

"I am the Lanoitome." He said in a very serious voice.

"You are? How long have you known? You need to tell Dumbledore!"

"Yes I am. I have known since the end of the last term and I just finished telling Dumbledore." He said in a would-be-calm voice but he had just attacked a teacher.

"Dad, I have to go. Ron and Hermione are waiting for me. You better get Professor Snape to the hospital wing." He left as quickly as he could. James slowly conjured up a stretcher and put Snape on it. His boils were beginning to heal. Harry must be calming down James thought. Snape was just starting to wake as James reached the hospital wing.

"Potter what did you do to me?"

"Nothing Snape."

"Nothing my ass Potter! I am on a stretcher with one hell of a headache you did something to me and I want to know what!"

"Language Snape!"

"What are your precious ears to good to hear...."

Madame Pomphry came out of the hospital wing because of all the shouting going on outside.

"Gentlemen! May I ask you why you are here? Why Professor what happened to your head?"

James just noticed that Snape's head was unusually large. James figured that it was an after effect of Harry's attack.

Snape ended up being just fine just angry. He told Dumbledore that James had attacked him. James informed him that he had indeed did not do any such thing. To make Snape happy Dumbledore gave James a one-question truth potion. James once again told them that he had not so much as touched Snape. Snape wanted to know what happened then but the potion had worn off and James would not answer.

Harry had gotten back to the dormitory not much later after he attacked Snape. He went up to the fat lady 'Pumpernickel!" He went to the second portrait to the left. "Kettle Corn." He walked into a fairly good-sized room where there were several couches and a roaring fire. Ron and Hermione looked over to him from one of the couches.

"Harry what's wrong?" Ron had felt Harry's anger.

"Snape. I lost control again he said that it was my fault that my mothers was almost killed and insulted my father. I think that it is easier for me to lose control now."

Harry plumped down on the sofa next to Hermione while she tried to comfort him.

"Guys is it ok if I give Sarah the password to this common room?" Ron asked nervously.

"Of course it is Ron! I mean she is a prefect anyway right? The Prefects have to know the password for our dorms incase of an 'emergency'. And they can hang out in here if they like, it's just that other head boys and girls didn't want them in here." Harry said. Ron breathed a sigh of relief. The next couple of days were wonderful.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione were glad that they no longer needed to go all the

way to The Chamber to do their work. On the third day of school, the

professor from the college came to start tutoring the three head students.

They were told to go to an abandoned classroom after dinner that day. When they got there, there was a young women looking at some papers on her desk. "Hi I'm Jennifer Adams. Please call me Jenny; since there are only three students in this class, I think that we can be informal. I however do not know your names so please introduce yourselves and tell me a little about you life."

The three looked at each other. They knew that their names would get a reaction out of Jenny. Silently they agreed that Harry should go first to lesson the blow for Ron and Hermione. "I am Harry Potter. This is my best friend Ron Weasley and my girlfriend Hermione. We are Gryffindor 7th years." Jenny took a couple of seconds for Jenny to recover from the shock that she was teaching three very famous children. She finally was able to choke out "Well could tell me a little about you. I mean more what you are like on a personal level not as famous people."

They all smiled at the same moment. They spent that class period talking to Jenny and getting to know her. By the end of the period she was part of their 'group'. At the end of the period they invited Jenny to their dorms so they could tell her about their adventures. They stayed up until three in the morning talking. "Well I better go. You three have class tomorrow and you need to sleep and you only have a couple hours to do that." They smiled. They had all the time in the world to sleep. They had not told Jenny about the time vortex.

Within the next couple of weeks Jenny became a great friend. In their special night classes they had already covered half of the years curriculum. Harry, Ron, and Hermione were having a great seventh year. Occasionally there was a Quiddich practice with Jay and the rest, the team was getting better and better with each practice. The Hogwarts Quiddich season was cancelled. This was a great disappointment to the school but Harry was a little relieved that he did not have to worry about being captain as well as all of his school duties. In the blink of an eye November the fourth came. That day you could feel the excitement in the air. Many people, like Neville, had never been to a professional Quiddich match. After a long breakfasts of 'good lucks' Harry, Ron, and Hermione headed down to the locker rooms. They were surprised to see more then the Quiddich team in the room. There were several good-looking cheerleaders getting ready for the game. (male and female) Harry looked at Hermione. "Did you know that we had cheerleaders?"

"Of course Harry! They were practicing on the other side of the field at Quiddich Camp last summer. Are you trying to tell me that you didn't even notice them?" Harry blushed.

"I was to busy looking at you."

Now Hermione blushed. "Harry I am not that pretty! I mean those cheerleaders are ten times more beautiful then me. How could you not notice them?"

Harry didn't know why Hermione was putting herself down. He believed that there was no more beautiful woman in the world then his Hermione. To express his feelings he leaned in and gave Hermione a long passionate kiss. The kiss ended by Ron saying "Come on guys there will be plenty of time for that after the game. Jay is going to give us his pre-game pep talk now."

They walked over to the center of the room where everyone was gathered around Jay. Jay saw them come and began his speech. "Team there is no way that we can't win this game. We have the Americans in our hands. Ron make sure that nothing, and I mean nothing goes into those hoops. Hermione, Kristy, Fiona score as many goals as you can and don't let them have the ball if you can help it. Greg and Will beat those bludgers as if there was no tomorrow at the other side of the field. Harry catch the snitch quickly and don't get in the way and get hurt by something. We want the other teams in the league scared."

They heard a voice echo over the field.

"Welcome to the England vs. America game! I am Gilderoy Lockhart Order of Merlin, third class, Honorary Member of the Dark Force Defense League, and five-time winner of the Witch Weekly's Most-Charming smile award. Harry, Ron, and Hermione looked at each other in shock. They all spoke at once. "Why is Lockhart here?"

"Is there something wrong, you three?" Jay asked concerned about his three best players.

"Nothing is wrong with us. It is just that Gilderoy Lockhart was our DADA teacher. Then he sort-of lost his memories, in an er-accident involving us." Ron explained.

Jay relaxed, he would ask about the 'accident' later. Lockhart's voice boomed over the stadium. "I give you England's team! Weasley, Taylor, Granger, MacHall, Mason, Young, and Potter! They zoomed out on their brooms; Harry felt pleasure as the wind flowed through his hair. The crowd was cheering loudly. There were as many people as there had been at the World Cup! Harry noticed many flashing omnioculars in the crowd. He found the top box where his mother, father, Sirius, and Remus were looking up at him. He also saw Lockhart's golden hair sparkling in the sunlight. He was currently saying that he had taught Harry, Ron, and Hermione all that they knew about flying. James looked infuriated, he started yelling at Lockhart about how Harry didn't need anybodies help to be a great seeker and never did. Mr. Weasley was also not happy about Lockhart's comments. But then he was also sitting by Fudge, which could have been what was upsetting him. Mr. Weasley was doing much better on the polls then Fudge was. The wizarding community seemed to think that if James Potter thought that Mr. Weasley would be the best wizard for the job then he was. Mr. Weasley had told everyone in one of his speeches that James would be his number two advisor (Dumbledore was first of course.)

When James was done yelling at Lockhart he turned back to the game. Hermione had scored five goals in the first seven minutes of the game. They were slaughtering the American Team when Harry sighted the snitch. It was about fifty feet away from him so he dove for it. The American seeker was on the other side of the field and stood no chance in catching it before Harry. As Harry leaned forward and grasped his hand around the ball the stadium went up in an up roar. England had won 200-0.

"And Mr. Potter catches the snitch! I would like to remind everyone that I will be signing copies of The Still Magical Me. Oh and the team will also give out autographs. Please be kind and make sure that they have something to sign."

James was yelling again. Lockhart ran out of the top box as soon as he could. The line for the team's autographs went all the around the lake. As they signed autograph after autograph, Harry, Ron, and Hermione tried their best to smile and have polite conversations with the fans. One little boy with big brown eyes gave Harry an invitation to his birthday party that weekend. Harry thanked him and asked if Ron and Hermione could come too. The little boy beamed and nodded his head. (Head students were aloud to leave Hogwarts on the weekends.) The next person in line looked oddly like Harry. "I'm sorry sir you can not have my autograph because I have a strong suspicion that you have been driving my car."

James laughed. "Then I will have to turn to this beautiful young lady here." He said and looked over to Hermione.

"I am sorry sir. I know that you have been driving Harry's car. I put a spell on it and it tells me every time someone drives it and who is driving it." She said with a smile.

James pouted. "Fine then. I suppose you won't give me an autograph either." He said turning to Ron. Ron smiled. "I would never refuse an autograph to a fan!" He reached for a piece of parchment and singed 'Don't drive Harry's car, Ron Weasley.'

James laughed again. Behind him, Sirius groaned loudly. He shoved past James and talked to Harry. After ten minutes of impatient fans, they finally got rid of James and Sirius. After many hours of signing the trio's arms felt like they were about to fall off so they decided to go to the Gryffindor Common Room. When they walked into the room it exploded with cheers. There was a huge party and from the looks of it the entire Gryffindor house was there. There was more signing and several pictures taken.

Finally, at three Harry managed to convince everyone that it was time to sleep.

By the time, they woke up the next day it was time for lunch. Harry used his invisibly cloak so he knew when everyone had left the Great Hall except the teachers. When they entered to teachers clapped loudly. (Except Snape who has his usual murderous glare on his face.) "Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, Ms. Granger it is nice that you could join us this afternoon. The school was quite disappointed that you weren't here. Congratulations on you excellent performance." Dumbledore said to them with the usual twinkle in his eyes.

"Thank you Professor." They said together. By now they were used to speaking in one voice and now just ignored it when it happened.

"Professor there was a little boy who invited me to his birthday party yesterday and I would like to go. I know that head students are allowed to leave the school. And I think it would be a big deal for this little boy."

"Of course Harry, but please take Ron and Hermione with you."

"Thank you headmaster." Harry walked over to Ron and Hermione to tell them that they would have to go to Hogsmeade to get some presents for the little boy.

On Saturday morning Harry, Ron, and Hermione went to Hogsmeade. The invitation said that the party started at four in the after noon. Harry had wrote Jay and gotten season tickets to the games, though they were not top box seats they were still very good seats for four. Right at four o'clock they apperated to a medium sized house that looked with party balloons all over the place. They walked up to the door and knocked. A middle-aged lady with short blonde hair opened the door. She gasped when she saw who it was. "H-Harry Potter! And his friends! Come in, come in welcome may I ask you why you are here?"

"I believe that we were invited to your sons party Mrs.-"

"Gerald. But please call me Nina. I didn't believe my son when he said that he invited you and you said yes! I thought that even if you had said yes to him I never thought you would actually come!"

"Well I try to do my best to keep the promises I make, now where is your son? And what is his name? I hope you don't mind that Ron and Hermione are here. During the school year I can't leave Hogwarts without them." Mrs. Gerald blushed. "His name is Ian, and it is an honor to have all three of you here. Follow me into the back room where he is still waiting for some of his friends to arrive."

They followed her into the back and saw a big room with a fireplace in it. There were four little boys sitting close to the fireplace looking at it expectedly, Harry recognized one of them as Ian.

"So what's going on guys?" Harry asked them in a casual way. "Mr. Potter! I am so glad that you came! You brought Ms. Granger and Mr. Weasley too!" Ian ran over and gave his hero a hug. Harry smiled and gave him a small hug back. Ian was beaming.

"Please call me Harry, as you already know this is Hermione and Ron. Happy Birthday Ian, by the way. How old are you going to be twenty this year?" Harry asked in his talking to little kids voice.

Ian giggled. "No silly I am turning seven!"

"You sure you look a little young for seven! I thought you were at least nineteen!"

This made Ian blush. Then a little girl came out of the fireplace. She looked shocked at the three friends talking to Ian.

"Ms. Granger!" She ran over and gave a very startled Hermione a hug. "I always wanted to meet you! I was so jealous when Ian got to see you, and here you are! And so is Mr. Weasley!" The little girl blushed.

Hermione whispered in Ron's ear "Sarah has computation now Ron."

Ron blushed madly and gave Hermione an angry look. The afternoon went wonderfully. Some of the older siblings of the guests look annoyed that they had to be there until they spotted Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Whatever Mrs. Gerald had planned was cancelled. There was a small Quiddich camp set up and they showed the kids some Quiddich moves. When present time came around, Ian shrieked so loud when he opened Harry's present that his mother was very concerned. When Ian's father saw it he gave out a whoop. Ian ran over and gave Harry another big hug.

"Thank you so much Harry! This is the best birthday present I have ever got!"

Ian's father looked like he could have hugged Harry too but thankfully he thought it wise not too. At the end of the party when all the kids had gone to bed Mr. and Mrs. Gerald were seeing Harry and co out the door. "Once again thank you so much Mr. Potter those are amazing seats! They must have cost you a fortune!"

"I have my connections. Thank you for letting us come. We better go we have to be back at the castle by mid-night. So good-bye! I guess that I will see you at the next Quiddich game!" With that they all disapperated.

When they got to the entrance hall they found a very white-faced Sirius. "Harry! There you are! I have been looking for you all day!" Harry laughed at his godfather. Sirius was always worried about something or other.

"Sirius we were at the birthday party remember? And what if we had been in the Chamber you wouldn't have been able to find us there if we were there." Sirius waved his hand impatiently. "I asked Moaning Myrtle. By the way she says she hasn't seen you at all since school started. Have you given up on your pranks?"

"What makes you think that we gave up?" Harry asked in his 'innocent' voice. This sent alarms off in Sirius' head. Harry sounded just like James when he was about to pull a prank.

"What are you three up to now?" Sirius asked.

"Oh lets just say that we are going out with a 'bang' this year." Harry said and then ran off. Sirius was really worried now. When Harry's idea of 'payback' was to dye the whole Slythrine house red and gold he didn't want to see what Harry called a 'bang'.

Sirius thought about warning Dumbledore, but he wanted to see what Harry would do. Later that night there was a knock on Sirius' office door.

"Huh?" it had wakened him up.

Sirius went and opened the door Harry was there.

"Is something wrong Harry? Are you ok?"

"I am fine Sirius." Harry assured him. Sirius breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then why are you here at this time of night young man?" He said in a mock scolding voice.

"I need you to do me a favor. Tell my father to meet me in the entrance hall tomorrow at mid-night. I need to talk to him about something important."

Harry left before Sirius could ask what was so important. Sirius did as he was told. James was surprised when he got the letter. He wondered what Harry wanted and why it was so secret. He told Lily where he was going and left.

Harry snuck out of the common room that night with his cloak. He saw his father standing in the middle of the hall looking around for Harry. Even though what Harry wanted to discuss was an important issue he thought he might as well have some fun. He snuck up behind James and tapped him hard on the shoulder. James shouted and looked wildly around. Harry took of the cloak and was practically fell down with laughter.

"Why you little." "Save it Dad, this is really important. Let's go for a walk, with you with me I wont get into trouble if we get caught. It is also Sirius' night duty tonight and he is yet to take a single point from me."

They walked out onto the grounds in silence.

"Harry what is it? Is there something wrong?"

"Nothing Dad. That is what I wanted to talk to you about everything is perfect so perfect that I want to ask Hermione something very important. I need to know if we have any family traditions that I need to keep as far as the ring goes."

"The ring? What ring?"

Harry rolled his eyes.

"You are truly slow Dad. The wedding ring. The one I am going to get for Hermione."

James was in shock and stopped walking. "You're going to propose?"

"Yes I am, now hurry if I am not back soon Hermione is going to wonder where I am."

"Ruby's. All family wedding rings must have a ruby on them. Are you sure about this Harry?"

"Positive and don't you dare tell anybody!"

"I won't. I am glad that you trust me again. Can I tell your mother?" "Of course. I don't think that we should have secrets like that in our family. I have to go. I will talk to you later." Harry ran back up to the castle. McGonnagal stood at the head of the class that Monday. "You do not need your books today." Everyone was very surprised and stunned.

"Get those looks off your faces. It is not that big of a deal. You all have an

assignment for your field trip coming up this week. Until four this afternoon

you are to plan with you partner what kind of furniture you want in your

house. For the lucky few of you who have been chosen to be in the Muggle

upper class you will be hiring servants for your house. At four you will go to

a muggle furniture store and buy your furniture, with a limited budget. You will also be responsible for decorating your home. And remember when you are doing this that each couple will have a 'baby' to look after. That is all. Class dismissed. They left class talking happily. Ron looked a little glum though because he had to be with Lavender because Sarah was only a 6th year. On the way to the common room Harry sent Hermione ahead telling her that he needed to talk to Sirius. Before Ron could follow Harry grabbed his hand and pulled him into an empty class room. "Harry what's up? You have been nervous all day!"

"Ron I need to ask you a favor."

"Anything, mate as long as it won't make me make a fool of myself."

"First I need you to distract Hermione for an hour this afternoon at least and second will you be my best man?"

Ron's eyes got wide. "Bloody Hell Harry! Are you going to propose to Hermione?" Harry nodded his head.

"Then yes I will do my best to distract her. And I would be honored to be your best man if you are sure you want me to be."

"Of course Ron! No one else would be good for the job! You are my best friend ever! You rescued me from the Dursley's and have stood by me in my adventures even if it put you in danger. You are like the brother I never had and no one else is fit to be my best-man."

Ron felt himself blush. He hadn't known that he was that important to Harry. "Ok then, we better get going. Hermione is going to think that you are up to something."

They had a great time planning the furniture that they were going to get. When four came Harry was nervous. Ron was going to pretend to be overly protective of Harry and play the big brother thing on her so that she wouldn't look for Harry. Ron told her he needed a word and left with a very confused Hermione. Harry ran to the jewelry shop.

There was a woman with brown hair that was graying in the store. She looked surprised to see a boy there without a girl with him.

"May I help you?" She asked.

"Yes I need a ring. An engagement ring that is, I am going to propose to my girlfriend tonight. The ring must have a ruby on it though."

The women's face light up. "I think I have just the ring." She said she disappeared into the back and came out with a small velvet box. When Harry saw what was inside he gasped. The engagement had a gold band and a beautiful diamond on it. Then the wedding ring had two rubies that when it was placed with the other ring they came together to form one ring.

"It's perfect! How much is it?"

This time the women's face fell she mumbled "100 galleons."

Harry grinned. "I will take it! I would also like something engraved on the ring. I want to engagement ring to say Harry and Hermione and the wedding ring to say forever."

"I can do that, but it will cost 50 more galleons."

"Of course, I will take it!"

She waved her wand. In soft glowing letters it said Harry and Hermione forever if the two rings were put together. Harry pulled out his money paid for the ring and thanked the women. As he left the shop, the women wished that she was the one being engaged to.

Harry found Hermione and Ron walking near the shrieking shack. Hermione was very red in the face and embarrassed about something. "There you two are I have been looking for you everywhere!" Harry said to make it sound like he had. Hermione rushed over to him and gave him a long passionate kiss.

"Wow what did I do to deserve that?" Harry asked happily.

"Harry I love you so much. I promise I will not hurt you, not ever! Please forgive me for whatever I did that made you get Ron to question me."

Harry shot Ron a look. 'What did you do to her?' he thought in his mind. 'I think I might have gone overboard a little, sorry Harry.'

Then they realized they weren't talking out loud. They silently agreed to talk about it later.

"Hermione you didn't do anything at all. Ron is just being protective. He gave me the same chat."

Hermione looked relieved.

They had a great time talking and getting their things for the three weeklong field trip. Harry, Hermione, and Ron were all some of the 'lucky' people who would be in the upper class. They interviewed servants and got their decorating ideas. They would be living as muggles so they had to do everything the muggle way. That night Harry was very nervous. He set everything up and was ready for Hermione, and he hoped she would say yes. Hermione went into her dorm room to get ready for bed when she saw a note on her bed.

Hermione- Where you find your hearts desire In an old room of class You will find the one you admire On a simple piece of glass.

Love, Harry

Hermione thought quickly. The room Harry found the Mirror of Erised in! She quickly dressed up a little and headed towards the classroom. When she got there she didn't see Harry anywhere just another note. All she found was a small mirror that at writing in lipstick on it:

Petals of red stain the floor Follow them and you will find Who you are looking for.

Hermione saw rose petals leading out of the room. She followed them; she reached the entrance of the astronomy tower. There were candles lining the stairs up. She smiled as she went up, Harry was always so romantic. When she got there she saw Harry lying on a blanket looking up at the stars. Hermione went and sat next to him.

"What is the purpose of this?" She asked him.

"Because I love you."

Hermione smiled bigger. They shared a kiss and then Harry said, "Look at

the stars Hermione!" The stars were moving positions and forming what

looked like words. Hermione was finally able to read it she gasped. They

said 'Will you marry me, Hermione?' She looked Harry straight in the eyes.

Authors Note- I am really sorry about my poetry. I am terrible at it, and I am not very good at romance either, so please be a little kind about it. I am glad you all liked the Quidditch, I do try to put a little of everything in. Also sorry this chapter is so short, I will post more soon. Please Review! ~*Meggles*~
