Ugh!!! I hate having to study for finals!!!! I have been to several studying parties (yah right) where we studied about one subject, and then we goofed around for the rest of the time!!! We also have a foot on snow on the ground, so I've also been sledding and having snowball wars!! Also, with Solo and Ensemble competition coming up, I have two solos (flute and oboe) and a flute trio to prepare, so I've been really busy. Then once school starts again, I'm finally allowed to cheerlead, I have that at least three times a week!! I don't know when I'm going to find time for anything in my life. I also have percussion lessons for an hour on Wednesdays and on Fridays. I think it is safe to say that updates will be a lot less frequent!!!!! On a lighter note I get to go back to full gymnastics on January 30th! YAY!!!

"Selena, what's wrong honey?" Sirius asked utterly shocked that she had just burst into tears out of the blue.

"He's alive, he's alive," she repeated over and over. "I can't believe he's actually alive."

Sirius' face broke into a huge grin, and the room filled with cheers. Every person had a smile on his or her face, except, of course, Selena.

"Do all of you understand that this means that we are going to have to break up?" Selena snapped viciously.

"Selena," Sirius warned.

"Oh, all of you just shut up!" Selena exclaimed and jumped out of her chair. "I don't care what any of you think anymore, I really don't!" she moved towards the door, but Sirius, his eyes glinting dangerously, stepped in front of it.

"Sit down, Selena," he commanded. "We are going to work this out."

Selena resorted to shooting angry looks at him, and not responding to anything anyone said to her.

Back to Snape and Harry:

'Good Lord,' Snape thought, 'Harry, no Potter, Potter killed Voldemort but how?' he wondered as he stunned and conjured up stretchers for the Death Eaters.

"What's bothering you Professor?" Harry asked, noticing that the Potions Master didn't seem to be his usual self.

"How did you do it Ha.....Potter?" Snape said with a lack of the normal hostility that was usually there when he addressed Harry.

"I'm not really sure, but I used the same method that D....Professor Dumbledore used when he defeated Grindlewald." (sp?)

"Which is what exactly?" Snape asked as he directed the stretchers to lean against a large tree a few hundred yards away.

"I allowed him to get distracted before casting the curse," Harry said explicitly. "Professor, I have a few questions about things that Voldemort said.."

"Potter, I'm sure that if you ask the Headmaster when we get back to Hogwarts he will be happy to answer them for you. Now come along." Severus poured the Portkey Potion over the tree that all the Death Eaters were leaning against, and then he and Harry grabbed a branch each.

Harry felt the familiar tug behind his naval, and saw the world start to spin. As soon as he'd closed his eyes he felt his feet jam into the hard rock on the front steps of Hogwarts. He opened his eyes and felt a wave of nausea hit him.

"Potter go up to the headmasters office, password is the same as before, I'll tell him that you're here," Snape said, pulling the Death Eaters down into the dungeons with him.

Harry nodded and headed towards the stone gargoyle. "Skittles," he announced rather calmly. The gargoyle jumped aside and allowed him to pass. He walked quickly up the spiral staircase and then sat down in a chair to wait for Dumbledore.



Severus, after transporting the Death Eaters and Voldemort's body to the dungeons, he sprinted to the staff room as quickly as he could. "Headmaster, Harry is up in your office...Voldemort dead..bodies in dungeons.." that's when Snape passed out.

"Remus could you?" Remus nodded and conjured up a stretcher for Snape. "Minerva, could you please take Hermione and Ron up to Gryffindor tower. And could you also escort Ms. Black to the Defense Against the Dark Arts office? I believe Sirius will want to speak with her after we finish talking to Harry." And with that, Dumbledore stood up, beckoned Sirius to follow him, and headed out the door.

When the pair of them entered Dumbledore's office, they were amazed to see Harry looking as calm and composed as ever. He was resting in one of Dumbledore's burgundy chairs with his head tilted back, almost as if he was asleep. He looked up when he heard voices.

Sirius ran over to Harry, engulfed him in a huge hug and said, "I was wondering when you were going to make your dramatic exit."

Harry and Dumbledore laughed. "Now Harry," Dumbledore started, "can you please tell me what happened?"

And Harry started the story of his apparating away from the dementors to the room where Voldemort was, waiting until he was distracted, and casting the Killing curse. Then he explained how Snape had helped him get back to Hogwarts. He talked for a good 25 minutes before he was done.

"Professor, I had some questions about things that Voldemort said."

"Continue," Dumbledore said with a smile.

"He said that I was the heir of Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Merlin, and also that I was your grandson...." Harry allowed his voice to trail off.

"I was wondering when this would come up.. Alright," Dumbledore began. "You obviously know about the four founders, and the stories behind each don't you?" Harry nodded. "Well, to make a long story short, you're father is a descendant of Gryffindor and Merlin. Merlin was Godric Gryffindor's grandson. Now you're mother was a descendant of Rowena Ravenclaw, but she wasn't in Ravenclaw, for some unknown reason. Probably because of her sacrifice to save you, she was in Gryffindor. The reason they thought she was Muggle-born was because the Ravenclaw's were trying to hide their bloodlines. All because there was a prophecy told by Ravenclaw's daughter, Sevillana Baroque. It said that when the bloodlines were crossed, hope for evil was lost. You were the mixed bloodlines. That is why Voldemort wanted to kill you and your parents. Make sense?

"Now as to my being your grandfather, that is also true. I was your father's father. The reason we do not share the same last name was to protect his identity. He took my ex-wife's last name, but then she left when he was no more than two years old. Now how about you go to bed, and we talk more in the morning?" Dumbledore asked and Harry nodded. "Good night then."

Sirius and Harry walked out the door, and Sirius said, "I think Selena wants to see you." Harry smiled and the two of them made their way to the Defense Against the Dark Arts office.

When they were a few feet away, Selena poked her out and announced, "Harry, we really need to talk."
