Disclaimer: Once again Harry isn't ours. Never will be either. * sigh *
"Um Harry can I talk to you?" Harry looked up startled; his thoughts had wandered back to that horrible day a month ago when he had lost the love of his life. "You were thinking about her again weren't you?" Draco's silver- gray eyes shone in sympathy. "You were really lucky to have her." "What do you mean Mal- er Draco?" Ever since he had found out what Draco did to save his life, Harry had softened when it came to his enemy. "She was a very special girl. Sandy's a great person and I," he paused for a moment not sure if he wanted to say this or not, "and I loved her more than anything," he finished with a whisper. Harry started to ball his fist, then he realized that Draco wasn't trying to hurt him, he was simply stating the truth. "I'm sorry Draco. I never realized." Draco flashed Harry the Malfoy smirk, "Don't worry about me, I have Kelly to keep me warm at night. Speaking of which I have to go now." He turned and stalked off towards the dungeons. Harry watched Malfoy leave as he thought about how much he had changed. Malfoy had never shown so much sympathy towards Harry.
Everyone was gathered in the Great Hall, waiting for the final feast of the year to begin. "What's going on?" A startled Hufflepuff shouted while pointing at the Dementors that had just entered the room. Harry shuddered know who they were here for. "Good riddance. I can't think of anything worse, even though she deserves it," A look of disgust crossed Ron's face as the thought ran through his mind. Dumbledore stood up and shushed everyone. "Please calm down calm down. The Dementors are here today to perform their dreaded kiss on a person who has tricked everyone here, myself included." An excited whisper filled the room. Dumbledore being tricked was unheard of. "Yes yes I know, now if you'll excuse me I need to escort these," he paused trying to think of an appropriate word, "beings to the dungeons." After they had left the whispers exploded into a loud roar.
Dumbledore took the Dementors to the Potion's lab. "I'll be back in about ten minutes with Miss Burnum." He thought he saw one of the Dementor's shake its head, so he proceeded further into the dungeons. He soon came up to the cell in which Alex was being held. "Miss Burnum the time has come." She slowly stood up and followed Albus upstairs to the Great Hall. Everyone let out a gasp of shock when they saw who Dumbledore had in tow. "But she wouldn't hurt a fly!" "Ah there you are wrong Miss Bones. And just to prove my point," he turned towards Harry, "Harry would you please explain why Miss Burnum is about to receive the Dementor's kiss?" Every eye in the room turned towards Harry as tears started to roll down his face. "Alex tortured me and.and Sandy, until." He was unable to finish as sobs racked his body. Ron reach over and slowly patted him on the back. "It'll be ok Harry, I promise." Harry just nodded his head. "What Harry's trying to say is that Miss Burnum tortured Sandy to the point of death," Dumbledore said in just above a whisper. The silence following that statement could have been cut with a knife. Several people began to reach for their wands, when Dumbledore put up a hand in protest. "There is no need for that. She won't be able to hurt anyone in a few moments. However, before that happens." He turned back towards Harry once again, "Mr. Potter I believe that there is someone here to see you." He pointed towards the entrance hall. Harry's eyes widened in shock as he saw who was standing there. "SANDY! But I thought?" He looked at Dumbledore skeptically. "There will be time for explanations later, for right now I believe Miss Callinger is waiting."
Harry didn't need to be told twice; in the blink of an eye he had seemingly Apparated at Sandy's side. Sandy looked at him with pure love in her eyes. "How? I don't understand," for a moment he thought she was a ghost. "How..." she put a finger on his lips and nuzzled her face into his neck. "I don't need protests Harry," she whispered in his ear, kissing the skin just below it before he pulled her face to his. She wrapped her hands in his hair just above his neck as they moved closer inch by inch until they met. The world melted around them as she begged Harry's mouth to open. He didn't object and the innocent kiss that started turned heated and passionate. Sandy pulled away although it took some strength to get Harry to stop. She spotted Alex and everyone dropped dead silent.
Sandy marched up to where Alex was standing and punched her as hard as she could in the stomach. Alex doubled over in pain, wheezing as she tried to catch her breath. She didn't have time to move as another fist came her way. Sandy grabbed a handful of Alex's hair and pulled her face up until their eyes meet. "That's for killing me." She punched Alex in her already broken nose, "And that was for making Harry believe he would never see me again." A loud cheer went up from the Ravenclaw table. "You get her Sandy!" Alex was now lying on the floor, her nose bleeding profusely. Sandy started kicking her in the ribs, as the teachers looked on in horror. Professor Snape was the first one to reach Sandy, and he had to pull her away from Alex, who now had at least four broken ribs to accompany her broken nose. "Man it was just getting good to." Snape loosened his grip for a second and, seeing her opportunity, Sandy wiggled out of his grasp and launched at Alex again. She kicked Alex with all of her might. "That was for kissing my fiancé, and this," she punched Alex once again, "Is for breaking his heart!" She continued beating the crap out of the helpless girl until Snape and Harry managed to pull her off again. Harry struggled to hold Sandy while Snape placed a full body bind on her. "Miss Callinger! Points should be taken from Ravenclaw, but considering the circumstances I think we can make an exception," McGonagall spoke up. "Now Harry, Sandy if you'll please follow me, we need you to be witnesses to the Dementor's kiss." The young couple nodded their heads and followed Dumbledore, who was levitating Alex, towards the Potions lab.
Ten minutes later the trio made their way back into the Great Hall. Harry and Sandy both took seats at the Gryffindor table just as the feast began. Hermione was the first to notice that neither of the pair was eating. "What's wrong you two? Aren't you hungry?" Sandy shuddered, "I was but after watching that I don't think I'll eat again." Harry shushed her and began rubbing her arms lightly. "It's not something we want to talk about," he said, noticing the question in both Neville's and Ron's eyes. Sandra nodded and pushed her plate away. "Besides, I've been away for a whole month and Harry and I have a little catching up to do." She winked at the surprise in his eyes. He didn't hesitate for even a second after that before he pulled her into the deepest, longest, and most passionate kiss either of them had ever experienced. "I honestly don't understand. They won't eat this delicious food, instead they prefer to have a tongue in their mouth!" Ron huffed. Sandra snorted pulling away from Harry who eyed his best friend with anger. "Oh don't mind me." Ron teased. "Good, I won't." He said and pulled his fiancé back into the kiss.
After the feast was over, the students looked expectantly at Dumbledore, waiting for the moment he would announce the winner of the house cup. "This year I am pleased to state that the race for the house cup was exceptionally close. In forth place with 345 points.Slytherin!" A disappointed cheer arose from their table. "In third place with 346 points.Hufflepuff!" The roar that went up came from both the Slytherin and the Hufflepuff tables. "One point? ONE POINT?" "Now we have a very unusual circumstance this year. For the first time in Hogwarts history we have a tie for the House cup. This years winners with 375 points each are Ravenclaw and Gryffindor!" The students went berserk upon hearing this news. Their excitement lasted through the train trip back to Platform 9¾.
When the train finally pulled into Platform 9¾, Harry and Sandy saw Sirius waiting on them. It had been decided that since Sandy had spent the last month with her parents that she would go straight to Harry's house this summer. "Draco?" Sandy tapped him on the shoulder. He turned and smiled giving her a long hug. "I love you so much, Sandy remember that. There is nothing that could replace you in my heart." Tears welled up in her eyes as her grip tightened around him in reassurance. She kissed him on the cheek, he doing the same to her. "Well, Harry and Sirius are waiting for me. Keep it touch?" "Of course, and if he hurts you in any way, I swear on my life I won't hesitate to kill him." She heard the seriousness in his voice. She smiled. "You don't have to worry about it, I promise." She walked back to the waiting car and loaded the rest of her things in. Harry noticed Draco looking for someone or something and decided to have a talk with him while Sandy recapped what had happened once again for Sirius. He walked up to Draco and asked, "Where will you be going seeing as your dad's dead?" Draco slowly shook his head. "I'm not sure. Mum sent me an owl saying she went to America, maybe I'll find a way to get there." Harry glanced back over his should at Sirius and Sandy waiting patiently for him. He took a deep breath then said, "Well if noting else you can always come stay with us. I'm sure Sirius wouldn't mind." Draco smirked, "And be in debt to the Famous Harry Potter? I think not. Besides I don't think I could stand all of that wedding stuff." Harry just grinned then said, "Well the offer stands if you need it." Having said this Harry turned back to his fiancé and his godfather, ready for whatever life would throw his way.
