Disclaimer:I swear I'm not making a cent from this. I don't own any of Ms. Rowling's characters. Peg, however is mine, and Harry can have me any time he wants.(insert evil laughter)

A/N This chapter should be a lot longer than the other ones. It has lots of descrictions in it. Ron does lots of yelling (what's new?), and Hermione finds out how Harry really feels about her. Also, If kneazle, auther of FUBWA and SMM, or Fae Princess, auther of Snow and Light at the End of the Tunnel read this, I would be honored to have you review my stories. Your stories are ALL on my favorite stories list!!! You are my writing idols!!!!!

Chapter 3-Not A Silly Crush

Everything was very quiet for a moment. Hermione broke the silence by bursting into tears and running up the stairs. Parvati and Lavender ran after her, looking at Harry in disgust and muttering something about rats and their fleas. (A/N If you've ever seen Grease, this should make sense.)

"HERMIONE!!!!" Harry called after her. The crowd gasped;Harry never called her Hermione. She turned around and looked at him, then ran up the stairs, crying even harder.

"Who's she?" asked Peg, pouting.

"What the hell did you do that for?!?!?!?" Harry roared at Peg.

"I didn't do anything!" Peg insisted innocently. "I gave my boyfriend a kiss! Last I checked that wasn't against the law!"

"I AM NOT YOUR BOYFRIEND!!!!!!!!" screamed Harry with fury equal to the devil. "I didn't know you weren't a Muggle, so I went on with my daily life, which includes coming here, and falling in love with Hermione!! This is not just some silly school-boy crush!"

"Uh, Harry," said Ron in a worried voice. "You shouldn't be so loud."

"SHUT UP RON!!" roared Harry and Peg together.

Harry and Ron stared at Peg. "How did you know his name?" questioned Harry.

"Uh, lucky guess??" she said weakly.

Harry raised an eyebrow. "I don't believe you." he said simply.

Peg raised the same eybrow. It was a very scary sight. They looked far to much like each other. The only differences in their appearance was that Peg was a girl, and she didn't have a scar on her forehead.

"Stop doing that," said Harry shortly. "How did you know Ron's name?"

"Molly talks about her ickle Ronniekins all the time. She's really proud of you, you know. Even though you almost killed the Whomping Willow, nearly got yourself killed in the process, and stopped speaking to Harry when he needed friends the most last year."

"How did you know about all that?" said Ron.

"I already TOLD you, she's forever talking about one of you seven." said Peg, annoyed.

"How do you know my mother??" said Ron, uncertainly.

"Uh, Harry," said Peg, changing the subject, but speaking as sarcastically as possible. "You were saying how much you love Hermione, and how you would die for her, because without her, life just wouldn't be the same, weren't you?"

"Uh, yeah," said Harry. "But-"

There was a small gasp behind Harry. He spun around to face Hermione.

"But what?" said Hermione, close to tears. "Didn't you mean what you just said? Is she telling the truth? Do you really love me?"

"I, UGGGHHH! I need to think!!" cried Harry. "But of course I love you. You are my everything. OK, eveyone just give me a minute!!!" This last shout was directed at the crowd, who had all started cheering, whistling, and whispering again. After a few moments of silence, he seemed to gather his wits, and became very business-like. "PEG!!! Please try not to start catfights with the other girls. DO NOT hit on Fred, George, Dean, Seamus, Neville, Lee, or myself. They are all taken. If you hurt anybody, you will be shamed. I will take twenty points from Gryffindor if you set one toe out of line. You will not be very popular in this school. Only the Slytherins and the professers will speak to you." Here his voice dropped to a dangerous whisper. "Do I make myself VERY clear?" He finished.

"I'm impressed," said Peg, venom dripping from her voice. "You used to be scared of me. You never used to stand up to me. What I said was law, and you were always the law upholding citizen."

"That was then, this is now," Harry hissed, inches from her face.

"We'll see about that," Peg whispered to him. "I see this filthy little Mudblood has tainted you. Nevermind my love. You will see the error of your ways soon enough."

"Don't you dare try to threaten me, Peg Evans. You do not frighten me. And while you are here, no harm will befall Mione, not by your hand," he answered, staring at her with no mercy in his beautiful (A/N Sorry. Had to add that adj.) green eyes.

For a moment there was an aura of awe in the room, as all looked at him, the boy-who-lived, the loving, caring, always-kind-and-helpful-to-others Harry Potter as he stared at his ex-girlfriend, showing her that he was not afraid of her any more. Not only that, but they were staring at Peg as well. For, in her anger, she had accidentaly reverted to Parseltougue, when she had said, 'We'll see about that.' From there on they had been arguing in the snake's language.

Just then, a woman appeared at Peg's shoulder. She was unlike anything you or I have ever seen, and doubtful that we ever shall. Her face was so deeply wrinkled, like it seemed almost smooth. Her body, however, was that of a young woman. A woman with dark red hair, and deep green eyes.

For the second time in his life, Harry thought, Her eyes are just like mine. She looked so familiar. For he had seen her less then a year ago. On June the twenty-third. Just an hour after dusk. Harry's breath caught in his throat.

For the third time since she had died....

He was staring at her. At that beautiful woman.


At his mother.
