I know I said that there are six chapters left, but chapter 30 is longer than I thought so I made it two. So technically there are seven chapters. Anyway, here is chapter 31. I don't own anything.

Chapter 31

*************

"The Rowena Ravenclaw? What is she doing here?" asked Ron to Harry. Harry shrugged and continued to stare at her.

"The fair Lady Ravenclaw? What is this, Annie?"

"Annie, yes, tis my heir's name. But tis not she; I have just taken over her body temporarily. It appears as though she has summoned me for some reason, but I do not know why. Please, sir Slytherin, what has my heir have done wrong with thee?"

"She has done nothing wrong with me. She's just very nosy about things." But Professor Sullivan seemed distracted. She looked as though she was conferring with herself.

"She has been telling, sir Sltyherin, that she needs my help and that-" she looked up. "Yes, of course, I remember now. Yes, yes, thy prophecies. Of course, why have I forgotten?" She looked at Voldemort, with her gray eyes blazing. "Heed thy warning, sir Slytherin, your fate will be soon cometh and the moment of truth shall rise. We will not quit, although thou have beaten us once, sir Slytherin, thou know thy warning. Take heed, and look back at thy prophecies. I have but one chance in saving thee because thou ancestor is thy friend. We will find the last remaining heir and unleash the power within…"

"ENOUGH! Enough of this!" said Voldemort looking very frightened. Harry's scar hurt more than ever before. He fell to his knees just to hold it. Professor Sullivan held her wrist. "I know I should have finished you before, Annie. But I will not regret this now. Tonight is your downfall!" Professor Sullivan has regained her full self again. She looked up and Voldemort had his wand in front of him laughing mirthlessly. Before anything else can be done he had shouted, "AVADA KEDEVRA!"

"NO!" Harry shouted. "PROFESSOR!"

"ANNIE!" shouted Remus and Sirius together. But Professor Sullivan looked very calm, although very pale and was still holding her wrist. The flash of green light shot through Voldemort's wand and was heading towards Professor Sullivan. When it was half way there, she held up her hand and shouted, "HALTOS ENCANTEM!"

Blue aura surrounded her. Then slowly the blue aura began to rise. Harry saw what look like a beak emerging from her head. The beak grew into a blue bird as it rises from her head. Harry swore he heard it screech. The blue bird was heading straight towards the green light. It had met it half way. A burst of yellow light and smoke filled the area as the two beams of light hit each other. Harry had to close his eyes to prevent them from blinding. He felt a tap on his shoulder. He opened his eyes to see who it was. It was Professor Sullivan smiling weakly. She was pale and tired. The smoke was still hanging around. She turned to Sirius and said, "I'll open the portal and I want you to go in it. We don't have much time. The smoke won't hang around any longer. Don't look back and don't worry about me. Just head to the portal and don't look back. I will be all right."

"But how about you?" asked Remus.

"I told you. I will be all right. Look, we don't have much time, all right? Just go through the portal and don't look back. Here, Gates of the Key, unlock thy powers, send us back to thy destination! Go, and take the necklaces with you. I have one more thing I have to do." They did what they were told. Harry couldn't help but look back. He saw that Professor Sullivan parted the smoke and entered it.

Harry once again had entered Dumbledore's office. Professor Snape, Mundungus Fletcher, Arabella Figg, and Dumbledore were there. No one said anything as they came in. Remus took a seat in front of Dumbledore's desk. Sirius was pacing the room. Every once and a while, he would give Harry an it's-not-your-fault look. Dumbledore stirred Harry and Ron to chairs that he had pulled out. Arabella looked as though she wanted to ask Harry about what happened but Dumbledore gave her a don't-ask-now look. Harry was dumbstruck and worried. What's going on? Why didn't she come with us? Is she dead? These questions filled Harry's head as they waited for Professor Sullivan to come back. They were quiet for a long time.

Finally, Sirius broke the silence by saying, "Where is she? Shouldn't she be back by now? Why did she have to stay?"

"Well, you know Annie, she's not the type to leave things be. She always has to finish it. Good thing that she's alone now, I mean don't you remember when she and Lily-" Remus, who was trying to make things better, was stopped suddenly by a soft tapping on the window. Harry looked up. He saw a familiar-looking eagle flying through the window. Dumbledore opened the window. The eagle flew in and wrapped its wings around Sirius. Harry blinked and then saw Professor Sullivan looking more tired than ever. She was holding on to Sirius for support.

"So did we beat them?" asked Mrs. Figg politely.

"No, but guess what I got?" said Professor Sullivan, holding something out; it was the other two necklaces.

"Hmm…Missions accomplished, for now, anyway. I'm quite sure that Voldemort would be rethinking what his plans are going to be," said Dumbledore. "Tell me, what has happened?"

All five of them took turns telling what happened. From the dome that Professor Sullivan made to the appearance of Rowena Ravenclaw in disguise of Professor Sullivan, they told all.

"Well, Annie, you did know that one of the reasons why Voldemort killed your father is. That is because he had thought that the true heir of Ravenclaw was him," said Dumbledore.

"But it was really Briana," said Mundungus.

"Well, it did say so in the Prophecies," answered Professor Sullivan, she looked at Harry.

"What is the Heir of Ravenclaw?" he asked.

"Well, Harry, according to history, which says nothing so much with Ravenclaw, Slytherin and Gryffindor have had fight and Slytherin left Hogwarts. I am sure you are aware of the Chamber of Secrets and the Heir of Slytherin. According to history, Ravenclaw binded all of the founders into a magical bond and created an Heir that will reveal the message one day to the other Heirs. It's quite complicated, really, but we all know the Ravenclaw and Slytherin Heirs, we are waiting for the heirs of the other two founders."

"So is that why you have a scar on your wrist?" asked Harry.

"Scar? What scar?" asked Remus.

"What scar are you talking about?" said Sirius, looking to Harry then to Sirius.

"Well, I guess now is the right time to tell you," she said. She glanced from Mrs. Figg to Dumbledore. "It really began the night your parents died, Harry. I did tell you that uncle Albus-"

"Whoa, whoa, wait. Uncle Albus?" said Harry.

"Yes, that's right, the headmaster is my uncle. As you can tell, I don't call him Professor Dumbledore but headmaster because I got use to calling him that way. Wait, I'm stirring out of the subject. Anyway, uncle Albus did not want me to keep you because he believed that you shouldn't be in the wizarding world because you were still in danger. I mean Voldemort hasn't fully gone away and we felt that. So you were living with your relatives for quite some time when this thing happened…" she paused to look at all of them. "I had a short conference with Barty Crouch, who was the head of our department at that time, and he said that I would be better off if I was relocated. He somehow thought that I was involved with the whole conspiracy with Sirius in killing James and Lily. Uncle Albus insisted that I wasn't and, well, you know how Crouch is. I wasn't sent to Azkaban because of lack of evidence and so he relocated me to France instead. I argued with him but he insisted that I should be separated from everyone."

Harry stared at her. Practically half of the room is silent except Fawkes, who was fiddling with something.

"So three days before I left for France uncle Albus had an idea. He said that there was one way I can be with you without actually being in London. He said that there was this ancient potion called the Fiddulus Potion. It was a potion that would contain the blood of both godparents. He asked me if I wanted to do it. I, who wanted anything in the world to be with you, agreed to do it. So one night, uncle, Arabella, and I made the potion. We took you from you relatives for a little because you were needed in the process. When it came to giving out the blood, there was only one godparent present, because Sirius was convicted just days before that. So we figured that if I gave more than what was needed, the potion would work. So it was done and I went to France after that. This scar is the symbol of my sacrifice and devotion to you and your parents. Little did I know that it would someday backfire on me."

"Backfire? What do you mean?" asked Harry.

"What I mean is that, like your scar, Harry, it hurts in specific times."

"You mean when Voldemort's around?"

"No, I mean when you are endanger, it will react somewhat. Believe me, you don't know how many times this scar hurt in the past five years, most specially last year, I had to take leave from work." There was a lasting silence.

Dumbledore cleared his throat, "I think that it is time to reveal a person that we have not seen for years." He opened the door in the corner of his office and out came a tall woman Harry swore he had seen before. She had a long dirty blonde hair.

"Catalina Mullet? What is she doing here, professor?" asked Ron. Catalina Mullet laughed.

"I see that you still remember me, but actually when I was a child, I preferred to be called Samantha Abberton."

"Sam?" asked Briana, getting up quickly from her chair. "How? Is it really you?"

"Yes, the one and only Sam the Sunshine. How have you been, Featherhawke?" She grinned. She went to Briana and gave her a hug.

"How? You're alive," said Sirius.

"Well, it's really a long story. All I know is that when James and Lily died, I only wanted to be left alone and so I went to my mother and she gave a shelter away from everyone. When someone looked for me, I told her to tell them that I wasn't there and that she has never heard from me. I wanted to begin a new life, without and away from the things that really haunted me. So I sought a job, and it just so happens that the Irish was looking for a chaser, and so I tried out. I tried out under the name Catalina Mullet. Catalina was my grandmother's name and Mullet was the last name of my cousin's husband. Anyway, I got in and from that day on, I became Catalina Mullet and not Samantha Abberton. No one was the wiser."

"So that's was why we couldn't find you," said Remus. "I spend a long time looking for you."

"I'm sorry, Remus. I knew you were looking for me and you were the only you didn't stop. It still hurts me so much that I had to keep myself from you," said Samantha.

"How did you know we were here?" asked Briana.

"Well, I heard from my niece that you were teaching here, and so I came up here to really see what's going on. Professor Dumbledore cleared things up for me and told me what's happening. I'm really glad all of you are all right, especially you, Remus," she said as she hugged him. Sirius and Briana looked at each other, grinning.

"Yes, it is sure a nice little reunion," smiled Dumbledore. "So Samantha, are you ready to battle the dark side again?"

"I'll be ready as I will ever be," sighed Samantha. She looked at Harry. Harry looked back at those bright blue eyes. "So, you are Harry Potter, the famous James Potter's son. My niece is absolutely raving about you." She grinned. "I'm one of your mother's friends. We have before, haven't we?" she asked. Harry nodded.

"Sam, Maria, she's a Death Eater," said Briana. Samantha looked glum.

"Yes, I know, the headmaster told me. Well, it was only a matter of time before one of us gets taken away from each other. First it was Peter, and it's her." She had spotted Snape in the corner of the room. "Well, I was right. But, Sirius and Severus staying in one room again? I never thought I would never live to see it. Oh, by the way, Remus, you owe me ten galleons."

"Why does he owe you ten galleons?" asked Briana.

"Well, it's really silly. We had a bet," said Sam.

"She bet ten galleons that Sirius would go to Azkaban and I bet he wouldn't. But it's really a long time ago?" he added seeing Sirius's eyes flashed daggers towards them.

"You bet about my fate?" he said.

"It was really a long time ago, when we were still angry with each other," said Sam.

Harry head was spinning. The door of Dumbledore's office opening interrupted his thoughts. It was Professor Mcgonagall, who looked absolutely shocked.

"Professor Dumbledore, terrible news, it just came in from the ministry. The Dementors are on You-Know-Who's side."

All right, please leave a review. One more chapter left! Heh…yeah so wait for that. The 'halto encantem' part was really on purpose. I made it up so don't get it mixed up with the 'finite incantem.' That's all, I own Briana Sullivan and Samantha Abberton, but it's only them. I don't own anything else.
