Harry Potter and the Duplaticus Curse
Chapter 27 Saying goodbye
A.N. I've set it before and I'll say it again. I'M SORRY!!!!!!!!! I told you that maybe I'll do a 'what could've happened' story. So maybe we'll see what life would've been like if James had lived. PLEASE DON'T STAY P*SSED AT ME!!!!!
Anyway, in this FINAL chapter of Harry Potter and the Duplaticus Curse, Harry, Ron, and Hermione go back to the Muggle world. It's a little short.
L Malena L (I'm frowning because this is the last chapter and because James is dead.)
A few days later Harry was allowed out of the Hospital wing and he went back to class. People kept looking at him as though he was about to drop dead at any second, he didn't mind. He just kept reminding himself that they hadn't gone through what he had, and they therefore didn't know how he felt.
When Harry got his scores back from the End of Years exams, he found that he had aced everything, except for Divination and Potions (DUH!)
Sirius had left the day before he had gotten out of the Hospital Wing. He was depressed, majorly! He still couldn't believe that James had been alive for all of those years.
One day Harry, Ron, and Hermione went down to Hagrid's house. He had left the door open because the hut that he lived in kept getting really overheated.
"'lo Harry, Ron, Hermione," Hagrid boomed. "Y'all haven' visited me in a while."
"Sorry Hagrid," Hermione said, "We've been busy."
Hagrid smiled.
"You all okay?" Hagrid asked, looking especially at Harry. "Professor Dumbledore told me what happened."
"Harry refuses to tell us," Ron said, sounding dejected. "It seems like all of the teacher's know, why can't we!"
"'Cause it's private," Harry snapped.
Hagrid smiled again.
"Harry will tell yo' when he want's ter," Hagrid said. "Now, who wants some casserole?"
They all said thanks, but no thanks, and walked back up to the castle.
"I still don't understand why you won't tell us," Ron said. "I mean, we're your best friends-"
"Ron, you and Hermione were the first people I told about James, be happy that you weren't the last to learn about that." Harry said, glancing through a book.
Ron sat back down and scowled.
Hermione stood up and looked out of the Gryffindor tower window.
"Just think, next year is our last year," she sighed.
"Just think, after next year, we'll be on our own," Harry said.
"Just think, after next year, we won't have any homework," Ron said happily.
They all sighed.
"What are y'all talking about," Seamus said, sitting down in one of the chairs.
"The future," Harry replied.
"I can't wait to get out of here," Seamus said. Hearing this, Hermione ran out of the room, crying her eyes out.
"What has got into her?" Seamus asked, startled.
"Oh, she's just sad that she has a year of school left." Ron said.
"I thought she would've been happy. Next year we have the N.E.W.T.'s," Seamus gave a little shiver. "I thought she would've been looking forward to that." Harry smiled, staring down at the rippling green grass.
"I am proud to say!" Professor Dumbledore said to everyone in the Great Hall the next day at the Leaving Feast. "That Gryffindor has won the House Cup!" There were cheers from all around the room. The Slytherins scowled from loosing for the 6th year in a row.
"Please! Enjoy the food!"
Everyone ate their fill, talking excitedly about what they were going to do during the summer.
Harry and Ron were talking about who they think is going to win the Quidditch World Cup that summer, and making plans for Harry and Hermione to come and visit.
Two hours later Ron, Harry, Hermione, and the rest of the school was waiting for the horse-less carriages to arrive. Harry was deep in thought, thinking about where Sirius was now. Hermione was talking spiritedly to Professor McGonnagal, who was supervising, about Transfiguration. Ron was looking dreamily at Hermione.
"Harry?" Someone was talking to Harry. He turned around and found himself face to face with (drum roll please…) Cho Chang.
"Harry?" Cho said again. "Hi!"
"Hello," Harry said, trying not to sound too nervous, and trying not to drool.
"Listen, I just want to say, um…"
"Yes?" Harry smiled at her.
"Well, this was my last year here, and um. Well-" She leaned forward and kissed Harry on the lips. It was absolute bliss, all 3 seconds of it. Seamus started to whoop.
When she pulled away, Harry was in awe.
"Wow," was all he could say.
"You weren't bad yourself," Cho said, blushing. "I'll see you soon Harry." Cho smiled, turned away and walked back to her Ravenclaw friends.
"Well, well, well, Harry," Ron said. "Looks like you've made yourself a friend." Harry hit Ron over the head, still staring after Cho.
Hours later, when they had arrived at Platform 9 ¾ , Harry was looking around for Mrs. Weasley, he wanted to say thank you for the Christmas presents. Instead his eyes landed on someone else. There was a man, standing in a corner, with this hood pulled up over his head. He took out his wand and flicked it. The words, THE DUPLATICUS CURSE SURE COMES IN HANDY, came out of it. Harry gave a small smile and walked away.
James Potter grinned under his cloak, before Disapparating.
A.N. Farewell!!!!!! For now anyway. I think maybe I'll do a few humor fics before writing a sequel. Anyway, I hope you have enjoyed this story and I'll do my best to make sure that you all enjoy my other ones too. Bye!!!!
