Chapter 3:

"HARRY!" shouted Ron. "Harry, It's not possible. You died. Eleven years ago. Harry, I saw it happen!"

"You didn't see what really happened." he answered cooly.

"Dad?" asked Ashley meekley.

"Yeah?" he answered.

"It's really you." she said, still flabbergasted.

"Hermione, whats wrong?" asked Harry, looking over at her.

"H-how?" she stammered.

"Yeah, I think we all need an explanation." spat Ron.

"There goes the Weasley temper again, Ron, chill!"

"Alright, lets start from the beginning." he started, taking a deep breath, "I guess it started when Voldemort challenged me. I killed him."

"What?" asked Hermione, the memory of that night, brought the tears to her eyes, I heard him bellow those words."

"You heard me mimicing him." he said.

"But, I saw him kill you." said Ron.

"I cast a simple befuddlement charm on you, making me look like Voldemort, and Voldemort look like me, can I go on now?"

"Yeah."

"I saw you walk out, and I knew I had only a few minutes. I smashed my glasses, and set them up perfectly. Then I took off my chain, and laid it proportionatley to my glasses. Making it take the effect, that Voldemort took me back with him. I took Voldemort's wand, and casted a small killing curse. So that if they used Proir Incatatem, it would seem like he cast the curse."

"But, why did you go through all that trouble? And why did you put us thorugh all that pain?" inturrupted Ron.

"You know all the Death-Eaters?"

"Yeah." sobbed Hermione.

"If I were to come back saying that I defeated the Dark Lord, you know what would have happened to me?"

"No."

"They would come after me, expecially Lucius, then they would have killed me any way, so I made them believe I was dead, also causing you to believe that. I'm sorry. What kind of devistation did I cause?"

"Well, first off, Hermione was devestated, you were going to get married the next day! And Ginny, don't get me started." spat Ron.

"How is Ginny?" asked Harry.

"Well, she's no longer Ginny Weasley. She married Malfoy. She almost died of shock when she found out what happened. What happened after that?" asked Hermione.

"Well, after that, I took Voldemort, and apparated, leaving the scene perfect. I disposed of his body, and taught myself how to become a dog. As soon as I mastered it. I decided to try it out on Sirius first, when he fell for it. I knew that you three would too. I decided to come on a cold stormy night, when I knew you would take pity on me and let me in. I left the wizarding world behind me, and started my life as a dog."

"You mean you were Midnight?" asked Hermione.

"Yes. I knew that I could keep an eye on my two best friends and my daughter at the same time." he said, with an added smile.

"Oh, my. What do we do?" asked Ron.

"Well, first off, I don't want my identity known, yet. There are still death-eaters out there, that may come after me. Second, Ashley you can't tell a soul. Alright."

That knocked her out of the trance of getting to see her real dad. "Yeah, no one."

"You know what this means now, don't you?" asked Ron.

"Yeah, the Trio's back together!" said Harry, cheerfully.

Harry looked at the crest on her robes. "You're a Slytherin, eh?" he asked.

"Yeah, is that bad?" she asked.

"No, I guess it just put you in the house, it wanted to put me in."

"Ashley, please go back to class with Ron."

The two left the room, leaving Harry and Hermione alone. (A/n: That isn't good, is it?)

*~*~*~*~*

Ashley and Ron entered the DADA classroom, and Ashley took her seat, and Ron contiued teaching.

"Now, where was I, Oh, Yes. Harry Potter. He could perform wandless magic, and was the perfect friend. And was most well known for the defeat of Voldemort when he was only one year old." and Ron continued rattling on.

"Hey, Ash, what's up with your dad?" asked Cassie

"What do you mean?"

"Well, before you two left, he couldn't talk about Harry without tearing up, and he didn't dare say Voldemort. There's something wrong there."

"There's nothing wrong, k?"

"And, you look like your a bit happier too. There is just something too strange here."

The bell rang, and the class filed out one by one, hurring off to go to lunch. Ashley stayed behind to talk to her dad.

"Um. dad, can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Yeah, sure hun, what is it."

"Seeing as Harry is my dad, does that mean that my last name is Potter?"

"I guess it does, why?"

"I was just wondering. Also, am I going to live with him when school is over?"

"Probaly not, we were thinking about sending you to live with your Uncles, Fred and George."

"Ooo, that should be fun, but why?"

"Well, know that the Trio's back together, we were gonna go after dark wizards again."

"Oh." she said. "Gotta go, bye!" she shouted as she ran out the door.

Ron headed back to Hermione's office.

*~*~*~*~*

"Harry, I can't believe your really back, it seems like some crazy dream."

"I know, but the only problem is, you're married now."

"I know, but we though you were dead, and he just kept badgering me, finally we found out that we were almost perfect for each other."

"Oh, can you get me caught up on everyone else, you can only get so much info from newspapers."

"Oh, Neville married Cho Chang," Harry grunted, "We know, a kinda weird paring there if you ask me. You know about Lavender and Dean, and Praviti is still single, and Seamus, he married some American girl, named Kim."

"WOW!" shouted Harry, "I would have always thought that Seamus and Praviti would get together."

"Them? They're exact oppisites!"

"They are?"

"Yeah."

Ron opened the door and came in.

"Hey Ron." said Harry.

"Hi. I was wondering what we were planning to do, now that we are back together."

They began to ponder what they were going to do.

*~*~*~*~*

"Hey, Ashley, where's your mum and dad?" asked Gen Malfoy.

"I don't know, but I don't think its good."

Suddenly, the two of them walked in, followed by Midnight.

"We have a small announcement to make." said Hermione.

The hall fell silent.

"Professor Weasley and myself are resigning from Hogwarts."

A/n: Leave you hanging there or go on, its up to you, the more reviews I get the sooner, it gets updated! :) Wow, 1,048 words, thats not like me!
