Harry strode in to the 3rd floor corridor entrance. He saw Lavender waiting for him. She had on a purple sweater with blue jeans on. "Harry?" Lavender asked

"Yes?"

"Do you actually love me?" Harry was taken by surprise by this question and did a remarkable Quirrel impression

"W-w-what? O-of course I l-l-l-love y-you." Harry stammered

"Say it again. Look in to my eyes and say it straight faced."

"Lavender I love you." (A/n Sappy isn't it. At the end of the chapter vote to see if he stays with Lav or goes to see somebody else.)

"Harry." Lav said tears started running down her face

Harry sat down on the floor and set Lavender into his lap crying softly into his chest. He absentmindedly ran a hand through her hair. Her tears dried up after awhile and she kissed him dead on the lips full force. She kissed him all over his face. This session had lasted nearly an hour and both of their shirts lay forgotten on the floor. Harry's hair was as messed up as messed up can be and his face looked like a toddler doodled on it with lipstick.

In other words they had fun. However both knew it was time to go. There was a gathering of clothing. (Harry had to retrieve Lav's bra off of the sword of a suit of armor, which was no easy task.) After the clothing grab there was a long goodbye kiss and Harry headed towards Gryffindor tower to change and wash up for Hadgrid's meeting. When Harry entered the common room the room went silent. Dead silent. No less than 40 pairs of eyes were staring at him. Finally the silence broke when the whole common room erupted with laughter. Harry ran up to the boys bathroom while being asked questions like "Who's the lucky girl?" and "Ginny's gonna be jealous of this one!" Harry rinsed the makeup off his face cleaned up his hair, straightened his clothes and headed down to Hadgrid's being teased all the way.

He was walking along the forest towards Hadgrid's when he heard a meow. A kitten was lying on the ground. Harry saw the corpse of his mother and 2 other kittens and decided to keep it. (A tree had fallen and killed the mum and babies. This one survived and was starving to death)

Hadgrid was very accepting of the new friend of his and was feeding it warm milk and pieces of a fish Hadgrid tore up and gave it to him. They had tea and biscuits. Around 6:30 Harry got into his Dress robes and with his speech in hand he headed down to the great hall for Colin and Susan's funeral. The Funeral was sad and uneventful. Harry made it through the speech with little problem. (Just Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle's sniggers.) and made his way upstairs.

Harry entered Dumbledore's office thinking of his meeting with Lavender tomorrow evening. Harry was greeted in the small office by many familiar faces including Remus Sirius Snape and his old baby sitter, Arabella Figg. After a brief introduction Harry was lead through the portrait of Armando Dippet and into a room that looked a lot like the great hall.

In the room there was a long white table with seats on each side. In the middle of the table there was a Golden perch with no seats around it. There was a book beneath it. Harry was passed some white robes, which He changed into quickly. When he finished he was asked to bow to the phoenix, place his hands on the book and say "I, Harry Potter oblige to put the Order before anything and everything in my life for the Order is my life." Harry obliged and a white glow emanated from the book. The sorting hat was placed on his head. Welcome to the Order Harry James Potter. As you know good things are expected from you. You are the Heir of Godric Gryffindor. You must reproduce Harry Potter. This may sound stupid to you but it is not. If you do not have a child Gryffindor's Blood will be gone forever and evil will dominate the earth. You have also been chosen as the Defender. You eventually will Duel Voldemort. We are counting on you. With that he was issued a necklace. Once on him the necklace turned invisible. Sometime during the meeting he was give the light mark. It is A red phoenix. It goes on the same spot as the dark mark does but on the other arm. Harry whited out after he received the mark.

Harry awoke in his bed in Gryffindor tower the next day. More like the next evening. It was 7:30 and his meeting with Lav was in an hour. Harry fed his Orange striped cat that he had dubbed Stripes and put his kitty back in his bed. Harry rushed through his Showering and shaving and other stuff and went to meet his Girlfriend in the Common room.

Harry found Lavender at 8:27 and they left for the Astronomy tower. "I don't remember anything about a visit to the astronomy tower when we had that chat on the bench." Harry said

"I said I had someplace in mind but I didn't say where. You did not ask where I had in mind so I said we should meet in the common room first." Lavender said

"I am not objecting, I was just curious." Harry replied hastily

"I didn't say you had a choice did I?" Lav joked

They were now halfway up the stairs to the roof when they realized the tower was almost empty. They reached the roof seeing only one other couple. (Justin Finch-Fletchly and Hannah Abbot) which was very unusual. They had the roof to their selves. After an hour-long snogging session where Harry was giving her back a massage in kisses. They heard a loud explosion. Harry said, "that sounds really bad. Sorry but we gotta get dressed. Harry did a summoning charm and his invisibility cloak came hurling towards him. After about 2 minutes they were situated and under the cloak, wands drawn. They reached the fat lady and saw a sight that would haunt their dreams forever. The fat lady had been blown to pieces. The dark mark was floating in the common room. The death eaters were long gone however there were several people crying. A few dead. (I will tell you them later) and the rest were stunned. Harry went around un-stunning people while Lavender was comforting the crying people to find out what happened. Dennis Creevy was sent to get as many teachers as possible. After all were revived the only casualties seemed to be A seventh year Girl Harry didn't know Professor McGonnagall and Harry gasped at the sight of Dean Thomas's lifeless corpse. There was good news though. Lucius Malfoy and two other death eaters (turned out to be Nott and Avery) were stunned and locked in the bathroom which was guarded by a crying Seamus an angry Neville a pained from torture Ron and a Distressed Hermione. There was also a dead death eater drug into the bathroom, which Neville had killed with the help of Fred's beater club. Neville had broken the bones of two more. Neville (from the testimony of Parvarti) was a hero and saved her life and the Lives of Ginny Weasley and Seamus Finnigan. Bye the time things were said and done twenty-one students were in the hospital wing and people were ordered to bring their stuff to the great hall where they were to stay the night. Neville earned Gryffindor 150 points for his bravery. A student had been sent to St. Mungo's for insanity after the Crucitatius curse was put on him. The entire hall was informed of what happened and that Serveus Snape was also killed in the fight in the entrance hall after he killed 3 death eaters (Crabbe, Goyle and Rockwood.) Harry had made his way up to the Gryffindor boy's dorm with Seamus Neville Ron and Professor Flitwick to grab their things when they all gasped simultaneously. They saw a death eater's corpse mysteriously on the floor and Stripes was meowing in pain. Stripes had a scar identical to Harry's on his head.

A/N Nice cliffie eh? I hope to do better next chapter length wise. I have a poll for you all. Should Harry stay with Lav? Should I keep writing? I haven't been getting very many new reviews. Just a suggestion that if you wanna see more please review more. Next chapter is called the cat who lived. C ya.
