A/N: Hello everyone! I can only apologise for the long wait, but I am back! I'm also hoping to update a lot more next year, and finish this story soon, so I can start writing the sequel. Thank you all for the reviews, follows and favourites! I really appreciate it!
A/N 2: I was told by a reviewer that there is an exact copy of this story on Wattpad by IcyGhostLlama, who is taking credit for my story, and I would like to make it clear that I have only put my story on this website, not on Wattpad.
Hope you enjoy this chapter! Listening to End Of Innocence by Kamelot
Dumbledore: Hey Harry.
"Wait, I thought I was dead! How can I be talking to Dumbledore if I'm dead?!" Harry asked, shocked. He looked at Hermione, hoping that she knew the answer.
Hermione rolled her eyes. "For goodness' sake, Harry! I don't know the answers to everything!"
Harry: Whoa! Dumbledore, what? Where am I? I thought I was dead, I got shot by Voldemort.
"How do I not even remember how I died? I was cursed, not shot!" Harry exclaimed.
Dumbledore: Let's just say you're somewhere between our world and theirs.
Harry: What, did I survive?
"That's unlikely," Fred and George said. Harry nodded in agreement.
Dumbledore: It wouldn't be the first time Potter. Take a seat.
Harry: Alright.
Dumbledore: Harry, have you ever heard of a…sit down…ever heard of a love shield?
"No, but I'm assuming it has something to do with love being a shield." Harry said.
"Wow," Hermione said. "It must have taken a lot of brain power to figure that out."
Harry glared at Hermione, who simply smiled.
Harry: Uh, no but it sounds like it's kind of fruity.
"Fruity?" Ron repeated. "That doesn't even make sense!"
Hermione nodded in agreement. "Maybe it's some kind of American saying?"
Dumbledore: A love shield is anything but fruity. It's when somebody loves you so much that if they were ever willing to give their life for you, that love literally becomes a shield which surrounds your body, protects you from any form of Dark Magic.
Harry: So, that happened to me? I have a love shield.
"I have a love shield." Harry repeated quietly, looking slightly hopeful. Hermione noticed this, and smiled at him.
Dumbledore: Harry, it's time for you to learn all the things you should have learned all these seven years ago. Which really would have helped you along the way. The love shield protects you the first time, Voldemort accidently turned you into the seventh Horcrux, on the night you already knew about.
"I'm a Horcrux?!" Harry exclaimed.
Harry: That's when my parents died.
Dumbledore: Exactly and when he tried to kill you the second time, he was actually unknowingly killing the piece of himself inside of you and I've known the whole time.
"That was a bit stupid of him. I thought You-Know-Who was supposed to be clever!" Ron said.
Harry stared at Dumbledore, wondering if Dumbledore really would know all of that and not tell him.
Harry: You knew this whole time, you bastard.
"This clearly proves that this play isn't real! Harry would never call anyone a bastard!" Fred said.
"Well, I'm not that rude in real life." Harry replied.
Dumbledore: Hey, hey, they don't call me the greatest wizard that ever lived for nothing. Harry, it is time for you to get your cute little butt back there and fight him as a mortal man. Except this time, he'll be a mortal man too.
"At least I'd have a chance of beating him."
"You could beat him anyway." Hermione said, smiling at Harry.
Harry smiled and replied "Thanks Hermione."
Harry: Dumbledore, I get what you're saying. I know what I have to do.
Dumbledore: Good boy.
Harry: Hey, before I go, um so you're clairvoyant now right? You can see the past, present, and future all at the same time?
Dumbledore: Yeah.
Harry: Can you tell me how Lost ends?
"What's Lost?" Ron asked Hermione, in the hope that she would know.
Hermione rolled her eyes, replying "I don't know everything!"
Dumbledore: Harry, there are some questions even I can't answer.
Harry: Thanks man.
Dumbledore: Hey, no problem, third door on your left there.
Rumbleroar: Are you ready to go Dumbledore?
Dumbledore: Sure am Rumbleroar.
"Wait, Rumbleroar is real? That's awesome!" Ginny said. Hermione nodded in agreement.
Rumbleroar: And you're sure that you don't want to let Harry Potter know that you're really still alive?
"Dumbledore's still alive!" Fred and George chanted. Their chanting got louder until Umbridge sent two Silencio spells in their direction. When Umbridge looked away, Hermione quickly muttered the counter spells.
Dumbledore: Eh, no, Pigfarts has been a closely guarded secret for hundreds of years. Better to keep it that way.
Dumbledore nodded. If the Hogwarts students ever learned that there was a wizarding school on Mars, Dumbledore knew that they would want to drop out of Hogwarts to go.
Rumbleroar: I suppose you're right. Do you have your spacesuit Dumbledore?
Dumbledore: Oh, thank you for reminding me. Ready to go Rumby?
Rumbleroar: I sure am, to Pigfarts! RUMBLEROAR!
"He's awesome," Hermione exclaimed.
Voldemort: People of Hogwarts, it's me. Harry Potter is dead. He was killed while running away, trying to save himself
"Like that would ever happen," Harry muttered angrily.
While you laid down your lives for him. The battle is won. My Death Eaters outnumber you. Continue to resist and be slaughtered. Come out of the castle, kneel before me and you may be spared.
Ron: Okay, uh, you guys barricade the door. Go do it right now. *students barricade door* Cho, you go see if Neville's dead. Um, you guys, go get snacks! Oh shit, we barricaded the door. Um, me, I will-will… *pulls out a cigarette and throws it away* quit. Well, there's only one thing we can do. We're going to fight.
"I'm glad to see that you've got your priorities right." Ginny sarcastically said. "Seriously, why would you want to get snacks when you're supposed to be fighting?"
Ron glared at his little sister.
Draco: Come on, I'm tired. Can't we just be Death Eaters?
Astoria Greengrass snickered. Pansy Parkinson glared at her, and smiled sweetly at Draco.
"You're so brave Draco," she simpered sweetly. Astoria's snickering got louder.
Draco looked slightly nauseous at this.
Ron: No, no we can't just be Death Eaters. Okay? We are gonna fight and we are gonna fight so hard, that we're gonna win.
"If we were fighting that hard, I'm pretty sure our aim would be to win." Bill said.
*singing* He thinks that we're finished. He thinks that we're done. He thinks that it's over, his battle is won! Ha! He thinks that we're finished, no, but we aren't through. Stop and think my friends what would Harry do for you?
"He'd fight." Ginny said, looking at Harry.
Hermione: Harry never gave up the fight. Harry stood up for what is right. Well, now it's our turn.
"Exactly. It's our turn to fight." Hermione said.
Both: Our turn! Make a joyful sound, Voldemort is going down!
Ron: Come on!
Hermione: Get up guys.
Ron: Get in a line!
Harry smiled at this.
Ron, Hermione, and Ginny: We must unite so we can fight, turn the battle around. Time's running out, it's time to shout! Voldemort is going down.
"Voldemort is going down," Ron and Hermione said in unison.
Hermione: Can't you feel the fire burning? Now it's time to be a man, a great big-muscley-super big-super hot man!
Ron looked at his arms, and frowned at the lack of muscle.
Students: AH!
Everyone: We won't be pushed around anymore. We'll be a force you cannot ignore. We'll be an army for Dumbledore! For Dumbledore! We must unite, so we can fight, turn the battle around. Time's running out, it's time to shout! Voldemort is going down.
"Dumbledore's Army?" Harry whispered. "That sounds like a great name!"
Harry: Guys, I'm alive! *everyone goes crazy* Hey, I know how to defeat Voldemort. Everybody follow me okay?
"We're going to defeat Dumbledore!" Luna said happily.
Everyone: We must unite so we can fight, turn the battle around. Time's running out, it's time to shout. Voldemort is going…
Harry: We must unite, so we can fight!
Everyone: Voldemort is going down!
Ron: Yeah!
There was a loud cheer from the Gryffindors, Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws. On the Slytherin table, Astoria was cheering quietly. Dumbledore looked proud, while Umbridge looked furious. Her already red face seemed to be getting even redder.
A/N: Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoyed this chapter! Sorry for the long wait, and I'll try not to take too long updating!
