Chapter 38
The rumors had gone: silent, the school was more or less back to normal…no, it wasn't because the final game Gryffindor Vs Ravenclaw was only two days away. Ron was back on his feet and on the team, kicking out McLaggen, which everyone were only too happy to oblige, and Katie Bell was back from St Mungo's alive and kicking. So Dean had to leave too.
Harry had his team all back together and he couldn't be happier.
"So they're really getting married?" asked Hermione in disbelief.
"Yeah!" said Misa "Isn't it great."
"I'm not so sure."
"W...what?" asked Misa
"Think about it Snape's off pretending to be a Death Eater. he's putting you all in danger." she finished and Misa snorted.
"Dad's not putting us in danger. We're in danger in association to Harry-no offence Potter- …What are you saying, Hermione? You don't want My mom and dad to get hitched? Cause I have wanted my parents together since before I realized Snape was my dad and no way in hell is any death eater or Voldemort will stop that."
"Don't you think your sounding a bit selfish?" asked Hermione.
"Maybe, but this won't just make me happy, but mom and dad as well. You saw how happy they were at the Yule Ball."
"But I still think Kisa's making a mistake."
"Well nobody asked you what you thought."
After that Misa had been ignoring Hermione…A LOT!! (A/n let me know who you think is right in this argument Hermione or Misa)
The classes were getting boring, and the practices increased, since Ron and Katie were a tad out of shape.
"Ok everyone into the air." said Harry "The game is tomorrow…"
"Really." said Misa "I had no idea. You've only mentioned it ones…"
"Or twice…." said Ginny
"Or every other minute…"
"OF EVERY DAY!!" they said together in a very Fred and George manner, which caused everyone to burst laughing, including Harry himself.
They mounted their brooms and were in the air, still laughing.
"Alright." said Harry "I admit, I have been a bit hard on you guys lately, but that's only because I really want to win this. So…While I look for the snitch, try to score as many goals as possible, during the game."
After a very tough practice Misa and Ginny collapsed into on the couch with their boyfriends right next to them, while Jay walked in looking very odd.
"Jay Black." said Ginny quicker than anyone else and he jumped "What are you hiding?"
"M...m…me…I...I'm n…not h...h…hiding…a…a…anything…" he stuttered
"Then why are you stuttering?" asked Misa And pointed to the chair across from th couch they were relaxing on. "Sit!" Jay seemed scared, but sat down on the chair.
"Jay what's happening?" asked Neville
"Luna and I broke up…" and everyone starred in shock "but not because we hate each other, we're still friends, we're just gonna date other people….we really don't have a lot in common…I realized she's more of a sister to me, like if I was dating Misa or something…cause your like my sister."
"So…are you both dating someone else, then?" asked Harry
"Um…yeah…Luna's dating Dean…They hooked up after the Qudditch game...and I'm…dating Hannah Abbott,…You know she almost didn't come this year since Death Eaters killed her mom. I talked to her during the feast at the beginning of the term and convinced her to stay and ...we went from there."
Everyone starred at Jay, not knowing what to say…so Ginny did…
"Well…if your happy Jay….than I'm happy for you."
"Me too!" said the other three.
"When did you guys brake up?" asked Harry
"Um…a few moths ago…we didn't know how to tell you guys…so…"
"So you guys decided to avoid us. I get it." said Misa "Relax, mate. We're ok with this."
"I…I'm glad…now I just have to survive telling Ron and Hermione and I'm off the hook."
"Good luck!" said Neville "Is Luna still commentating with you?"
"Not this match. McGonagall learned her lesson from Lee. She says nobody can commentate during a match, when their house is playing. New rule she just putt it in. So I'll be doing it with Hannah tomorrow…good luck."
The next day everyone changed and flew out onto the pitch. Jay and Hannah were sitting with McGonagall waiting as everyone else for the match to start.
"Captains! Shake hands!" said Madam Hooch and Harry shook hands with the bulky looking beater of the Ravenclaw team.
"Guys watch out for him." Harry told his beaters "He's tough."
Madam Hooch blew her whistle and the match began….
"Welcome everyone to the Gryffindor vs. Ravenclaw game." said Hannah
"We are your commentators for this match I am Jay Black and here with me this time is Hannah Abbott."
"And it looks like Katie Bell has the Quaffle. She has recently returned from St Mungo's and looks like she's in better shape than she was a month ago."
"She passes it to Ginny Weasley.. Who…oh no blocked by the Ravenclaw Keeper.. who hits it strait at Michael Corner, who passes it to Stevens, who passes to Grind…oh no he drops the Quaffle as Bludger hit him the back of his broom, but he appears completely un harmed…"
"And now Tinsley has the Quaffle, she passes to Weasley., who scores. That's 10 to Gryffindor…Ravenclaw back in possession. Corner tries to score…OH excellent block by Ron Weasley…"
"And it looks like Katie Bell scored…good for her...Gryffindor in possession…Tinsley scores. Thirty to Zero to Gryffindor." announced Jay.
"And it seems that Cho Chang is trying to block Harry Potter, who clearly has seen something she hasn't….oh look at them go…"
Cho zoomed infront of Harry trying to block him, but with no luck his broom was faster. As the snitch took a sharp turn so did he, leaving Cho in the dust.
Allowing for Katie, Ginny, and Misa to score one each. Making the score 60-0
"And…wait a minute folks." said Jay…"it seems that Harry Potter has caught the snitch GRYFFINDOR WINS THE CUP!!"
"Wait Jay." said Hannah "it looks like it isn't over yet." and she was right Cho had rammed strait into Harry with all her might…and Mr. Chosen one was not in the hospital wing over night this time. He was fit to return back to his common room.
After a huge blow out they managed to sneak out of the party and into the secret room.
"I think Miss Cho needs another…lecture from those darling New Marauders." said Ginny
"I couldn't agree more." added Harry.
SO the next day an angry Cho Chang entered the hall for breakfast and ate, but as she began drinking the pumpkin juice her face changed. She grew a beak and she lost her hair, which was replaced by feathers. She tried to scream, but couldn't. The only thing that came out of her was "squawk"
"Look the New Marauders strike again." said Katie, pointing into the air.
Prongs Jr.: Miss Chang is a very horrible woman for trying to kill, one Harry Potter. Good thing his friends were there to help, before he crashed into the ground.
Blazing Red: I warn you Chang stay away from Potter or it will be a lot more than your head we'll transform next time.
Crescent the II: Cho, here's a piece of advice. Harry will never go out with you, I know this for a fact. "GET OVER IT!!"
Lion Heart: Miss Chang please keep in mind that your transformation will last a full week not just 24 hours like last time,
Padfoot's Ghost: Because we feel you needed to be taught a serious lesson, one that the teachers do not teach. So HAVE FUN!!
The writing vanished and Cho had to endure a lot of teasing over the next few days. It was almost time for exams, when Harry was called into the headmasters office. He came back only twenty minutes later and was in the secret room grabbing his cloak.
"He found one…of those things…" said Harry ad Misa and Neville were in the room. "Here!" he gave the map to Misa and the liquid luck to Ginny "Keep an eye out on things, especially Malfoy, Trelawney said she heard voices form the come and go room and they seemed to be celebrating and just in case keep an eye on Snape, just in case. Split the luck between yourselves and get Jay and Luna to help as well."
"Alright, mate." said Ron "be careful."
"I always am." replied Harry
He gave Ginny a kiss and ran out as fast as he ran in. A few short moments later Jay and Luna came down.
Ginny explained the situation and quickly took command. They split up. Misa, Ginny, and Neville took the map and were patrolling the hallways, while Hermione, Ron, Luna and Jay were going to stand guard near the room of req.
Voices were heard coming from the room, suddenly some sort of powder was thrown out of the room and everything went pitch dark.
"Owe!" came Hermione's voice a someone stepped on her foot.
"Sorry Hermione!" said Jay as they tried to break the darkness, but instead ended up running through th hallway blinded, until they managed to break from it.
Meanwhile Misa, Ginny, and Neville were passing the transfiguration classroom, when something caught Misa's eye on the map.
"Ginny, Neville I might just be getting sleepy since it's almost midnight, but does that say Lestrange?"
Ginny and Neville looked at the map and gasped.
"Death eaters in the castle." said Ginny "We have to warn someone."
"Agreed." said Neville "Look." he pointed to the map "Kisa, Tonks, and Remus are right around the corner."
They hurried around the corner and saw the three walking away from them.
"MUM!!" shouted Misa.
The three turned and Kisa looked startled at her daughter.
"why aren't you three in bed?" asked Kisa
"We found it a bit tough to sleep, knowing there are death eaters in the castle." said Ginny
"What?" asked Remus
"Uncle Remus!" said Misa "We saw death eaters on the map coming from the room or req. on the seventh floor."
"Ok!" You three go and tell Severus" said Kisa and turned to Tonks "Go tell Minerva and the other heads. Remus and I will warn the order members. PREPARE FOR BATTLE!!"
Misa Ginny, and Neville ran down to Snape's office, but they bumped into Hermione, Ron, Jay, and Luna.
"D...Death Eaters…." started Ron.
"We know!" as they were about to knock on the door Professor Flitwick came towards them, but did not appear to notice them. He instead walked into Snape's room. There was some crashing noises and Snape ran out.
"Dad….what happened?" asked Misa.
"Professor Flitwick collapsed make sure he's ok."
"B…b...but…"
"What ever is about to happen." said Snape "I want you to know that I love you and your mum, ok?" Misa gave a nod and he ran off.
"I'll make sure Flitwick 's alright." said Hermione
"I'll stay here too." said Luna.
"Ok, then the rest of us need to go and help." said Ginny and the others followed Her. "Misa, where are they?"
"by the stairs leading up to the astronomy tower." said Misa as they hurried.
They got there to find everyone fighting. Greyback had attacked somebody and stepped over a body., just as they arrived.
Remus was dueling McNair, Kisa was dueling Rowle. they couldn't see anybody else, but could clearly see Bellatrix Lestrange fighting someone and the female and Male Carrow.
They came to assist. It turned out Tonks was dueling Bellatrix, and Jay and Neville started dueling her as well. Someone fired a killing curse, which had just missed Remus by an inch and killed another death eater…no complaints there. Misa and Ginny were dueling the Female Carrow, whose name was Alecto or something like that.. and Ron was dueling her brother along with McGonagall.
Draco Malfoy ran up the stairs and a few minutes later he was followed by a few Death eaters, who managed to break free. Neville tried to follow them, but was thrown backwards at the foot of the stairs. After a few moments Snape ran up there too.
Some time later Snape and Draco both ran down the stairs followed by a pissed off Harry.
Next thing anybody realized they were in the hospital wing. Neville, was hurt as was Remus, but no lasting damages.
Harry came in a few minutes later.
"What happened?" asked Harry "Whose dead. I heard them say something about stepping over a body."
"Nobody is dead….the body was Bill…Greyback attacked him, they say he won't be the same." said Ginny and Harry came over to her and sat at the foot of the bed she was sitting on. Luna and Hermione were now there as was Ron, Misa, Kisa, Remus Tonks, and McGonagall along with the other heads.
Molly burst through the doors minutes later and was now crying over Bill's bed.
"Maybe…when Dumbledore gets here." said McGonagall "He'll be able to do something…"
"No he won't Professor." said Harry "Because he's dead…I….I saw it happen…I was in a body bind…I couldn't move…"
"Who? How?" asked Kisa
Harry sighed, they weren't gonna like this. "it was Snape…I didn't want to believe it, but I was there…I was under the cloak…."
"N...No!" came Misa's voice, who was next to her mother "Daddy….he would…never…why?" Misa was now crying into Neville's shoulder as Kisa just looked grim.
Fleur arrived next and sat next to Bill, who was lying unconscious.
Arthur arrived next and looked at Remus, he seemed to have know what had happened and looked at Remus for an answer.
"There will be some contamination." said Remus "But he won't be a real werewolf."
"he was such a handsome boy and he was gonna be married." said Molly
"what do you mean WAS?" asked Fleur "Just because he has been attacked doesn't mean I won't love him just as much. I do not care."
"You see." came the strained voice of Tonks and she was glaring at Remus :She still wants to marry him, even though he was attacked. She doesn't care."
"It's different." said Remus not looking at her, "Bill won't be a full werewolf. The cases are completely…"
"But I don't care either. I don't care." said Tonks "I've told you a millions times…"
"And I told you a million times. I am too poor too dangerous."
"Moony!" interrupted Kisa looked at him sternly "STOP! Stop feeling sorry for yourself. You love her. She doesn't care just like we didn't care, when we found out. We didn't desert you, and neither has she. I took a risk with Severus…I'm regretting it, but for a different reason than you have to disregard her. You need to take a risk with Nimphy."
"I am…shunned from society because I am a monster. It's completely different from you and Snape."
"Not the way I see it. he risked being killed to be with me. Nimphy here is willing to do anything to be with you. So take your self-pity and shove it…."
"Kisa!" came McGonagall
"This is not the time to discuss it…Dumbledore is d…."
"he would have been happy to think that there was a little more love in the world." said Molly as Hagrid walked in.
"Professor…I moved his body…Professor Sprout got the kids back into bed. Flitwick 's 'l right and the ministry's been informed."
"Thank you Hagrid. Please round up the heads of house and meet me in the headmasters office…Harry I need to have a word with you if you don't mind…"
Fifteen minutes later Harry was in the secret room and found the others there already, even Neville, though he couldn't putt a lot of weight on his leg. So Misa volunteered to help him.
"They're talking about closing the school, but everyone's against it so far." said Harry
"What about the funeral?" asked Ginny "the students would want to go and say…goodbye."
"Hagrid said the same thing, which is why were leaving an hour after the funeral. he's gonna be berried here."
"Great!" said Jay
"H…did you find one?" asked Ron, not being able to hold himself off any longer.
'"it was a fake. Someone named R.A.B. took the real locket and I think the real one was the one Ginny found at Grimmauld place. McGonagall gave this to me." said Harry showing the real locket. "He didn't destroy it yet."
"Sorry, but did you say R.A.B.?" asked Jay
"Yeah, why?"
"Well I know one R.A.B. Regulus Black. Dad's brother. Wasn't that where Ginny found Slytherin 's locked?"
"yeah, thanks Jay."
All lessons, suspended, and all exams postponed. Some students were hurried away from Hogwarts by their parents over the next few days. The Patel Twins for one, were gone before breakfast the day after Dumbledore's death and Zacharias Smith was escorted from the castle by his haughty-looking father. Seamus F. On the other than flat our effused to accompany h9is mother home; they had a huge shouting match about it in the entrance hall that was resolved, when she agreed that he could remain behind for the funeral.
A lot of excitement was caused, by the younger students, when a carriage pulled by flying horses landed on the Hogwarts grounds and a giant woman came out of it giving Hagrid a hug first thing.
The eight were now spending all of their time together. The beautiful weather seemed to mock them, so they spend a lot of time, just enjoying the weather, but one finds it hard to enjoy oneself., when one is grieving,. So it was mostly Hermione, Harry, Ginny, Ron, Luna, and Jay, and with Dean and Hannah.
Misa seemed to distance herself from everyone, but Neville. It was hard for her to except Snape as a murdered, no matter what Harry had seen him do.
The day before the funeral, everyone was sitting in the secret room, as were Dean and Hannah, since it only seemed fair that they'd be able to come in there as well, but they had left to get some sleep.
Anyone we know dead?" asked Ron as Hermione was looking through the Evening Prophet.
"No," she said folding the paper "They're still looking for Snape, but no sign…."
"Of course there isn't." said Jay They won't find Snape till they find Voldemort, and the chances of finding him are small so…"
"Speaking of Voldemort." said Harry "I think just to be safe we ought to call him Tom Riddle. Just in case. So we don't rouse suspicion…after all Tom Riddle is his real name."
"Alright" said Ginny and stood up from her seat. "I'm going to bed, I need some sleep." she kissed Harry and went up and out of the secret room.
"Misa!" said Hermione
"What?"
"I found something in the library this morning."
"About…."
"Snape!'
"Ok, what'd you find out?"
"Eileen Prince! She is Snape's mom."
"Wait…is?"
"Yeah, I was going through old Prophets and there was an announcement about Eileen Prince marrying Tobias Snape. And another one about her giving birth too…"
"A murderer." said Ron
"Snape.." finished Hermione and was not glaring at Ron.
"whatever!" was her response
"So Snape's a half-blood like Riddle." said Harry "Pure-blood mum, and muggle dad."
Everyone rose early to pack th next day: : the Hogwarts Express would be leaving after the funeral. Everyone had putt on dress robes and no one seemed very hungry, not even Ron. The Headmasters chair had been left empty and McGonagall instead sat in her usual chair, and Rufus Scrimgeour was sitting in Snape 's seat.
McGonagall finally stood up.
"Please follow your heads of house out into the ground. Gryffindors after me."
they walked silently out into the grounds and saw some people already there. Kisa, Remus and Tonks, Kingsley, Moody, Molly and Arthur, Fred, George, Lee and Seamus Black, were all sitting in the fifth row. Misa helped Neville into a chair directly behind them, and Harry and the others sat next to him and Misa.
More and more people filed in and Harry starred in anger as Rita Skeeter was standing there and 3 rows behind them sat down Umbridge.
"The nerve of some people." said Ginny "Umbitch was convinced last year that Dumbledore was off his rocked and now she shows up here."
Firenze by luck ended up standing only a few chairs away. She let out a shiver and moved to the back row.
Hagrid brought out Dumbledore's body and placed it on the altar. McGonagall then stood up and faced the audience..
"We are here today to honor a great man. Someone who fought for good, against the evil. Someone who cared a great deal, about what happened next. We all have our share of wonderful memories with or of Albus Dumbledore. He was by far the greatest Headmaster of this school, as nobody dedicated as much as he has to this fine school. Though some believe he is gone forever, but he will only be gone, when none are loyal to him. We sit here grieving, but if he was here he would tell us all to stop, as he was now on his next great adventure. "
She then sat down as a beautiful voices came from under the water and arrows came flying out from the forest. Two phoenix soared through the air, between a Crystal-Lynx. Sparks flew out of the altar and a white marble tomb coved Dumbledore.
Now people were getting up and leaving, when Scrimgeour cornered Harry and Ginny
"Might I have a word?"
"If you must." said Ginny
"Dreadful, tragedy," he said "I cannot tell you how shocked I was, when I was informed of this. Dumbledore was a very great wizard."
"What is that you want?" asked Harry
"You are devastated, I'm sure." said Rufus "I know you were close to him, his favorite pupil no doubt."
"what do you want?" asked Ginny angrily
" the word is Harry, you were with him, when he left the castle and you were there, when he died."
"Who told you that?" asked Harry
"Someone stupefied a Death Eater on top of the tower after Dumbledore was killed. There were also two broomsticks up there. the ministry can putt two and two together."
"Glad to hear it." said Ginny.
""Where I went with Dumbledore and what we did is my business. he did not want people to know."
"Such loyalty is admirable, of course." said Rufus. "But Dumbledore is gone, forever."
"He will only be gone from the school, when non here are loyal to him, like McGonagall said." added Harry
"even he cannot return…"
"I'm not saying he can. You wouldn't understand. Either way I have nothing to tell you."
"The ministry can offer protection to you and to your friends. I would be delighted to place some Aurors at your service."
"Voldemort wants to kill me and a few Aurors aren't gonna stop him. So…No thanks"
"So…the request of last Christmas?"
"Oh right." said Ginny "Turning Harry into a poster boy…Have you released Stan yet?"
and he didn't look at her. "Thought so. Come on Harry, we have to go.'
They walked back towards the castle and Harry turned to Ginny.
"You know because of the bond your technically an adult…and….do you want to go with me, you know to find the others and destroy the one in my trunk."
"Yeah, and Hermione and Ron will come as well." said Ginny and they headed inside the castle.
Kisa found Harry right as everyone was boarding the train.
"Harry…I'm gonna need you to do something for me this summer, before you, Ginny, Hermione, and Ron go and do what ever it is…I need you to…to go to the Dursley's and get them to go into hiding with Hestia and Diggle. He's gonna come after them too, even if they haven't seen you in a decade and if they fight, or give you a hard time you could always hex them…and…"
"You want me to spend a week there?"
"Yes, you'll be protected and everything…and Moody and I will personally go and get you."
"Ok.. I'll go. Thanks for being so understanding Kisa."
"No problem. now come on They'll be waiting for you tomorrow."
So ends another chapter in Harry Potter's life. I again ask you for suggestions for the Deathly Hollows section. PLEASE UPDATE I NEED POSITIVE FORCES!!
