A/N- Wow, I had no idea that people liked Blaise so much. Come on though, I don't kill off everyone! Velena's stuck around for twenty-nine chapters *sticks tongue out childishly* I promise though, no one else dies. If you think about it, I haven't killed that many people, only Maria and Blaise…oh wait and Arthur and Molly…hmm, and Tom, but no one seemed to mind his death…and there was Sally, but she's alive now so does that count?
Oh, and there are some flashbacks in this chapter, sorry if that annoys some people, but I felt it appropriate.
Chapter Twenty-nine (The last chapter!)
No More Rainy Days
I thought I'd never trust again, all the pain he put me in
Felt like I would die
Then you brought new life to me, took away the ugly
Just by the way you touch me, I'm in love Destiny's Child
Velena Evansole and Lucius Malfoy to serve life sentence in Azkaban
In perhaps the biggest news to hit the wizarding world since Harry Potter defeated the dark lord it was reported yesterday that Velena Evansole and Lucius Malfoy will be spending the remainder of their lives in the high security prison, Azkaban.
"It was only a matter of time really, old family policies have no place in the modern day society… It is no wonder that these two heads of the most notorious families have been overthrown by their own heirs; the young simply understand culture better." Said respected historian, Matthew Blake. But many are speculating that the testimonies given by Virginia Evansole and Draco Malfoy were for reasons other than 'overthrowing' the current heads of their respective families.
Recent rumors involving Sally Fudge- the Minister of Magic's only daughter-, and the above mentioned Virginia Evansole and Draco Malfoy are simply too disturbing to ignore. Has scandal broken out right under Albus Dumbledore's nose?
The current headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizarding had this to say on the situation. "The rumors of Sally Fudge's death, among other things are quite simply just that, rumors. You may see her for yourself if you do not believe me. The idea of a student dying at Hogwarts is laughable, each and every student is under my protection as well as the protection of the fully equipped members of the Hogwarts staff."
When caught outside of the Ministry of Magic after the hearing and sentencing of their guardians Miss Evansole and Mr. Malfoy refused to comment. However, a mutual friend of both, a Miss Pansy Parkinson stated this, "As a friend of both parties I regret being the one to say this, but it most be said. Velena Evansole and Lucius Malfoy are the victims here. Virginia and Draco framed them both as a desperate attempt to gain the fortunes of both families. This is nothing more than two greedy children who would do anything to gain wealth and power."
I threw down the newspaper in disgust, "can you believe that she said that?"
Draco peered over my shoulder and read the section in question. "Sadly enough, I can. But what is with the whole mutual friend of ours thing? The last time that I can even remember talking to her was back in third year when you dyed her hair blue."
I smiled at the memory, "ah, yes that is one of my founder moments with the elusive Miss Parkinson. I'm still not quite sure why she dyed it back to that hideous blonde color though; at least when it was blue it took away from her nose."
"So do you think that anyone bought the greedy children thing?"
I shrugged indifferently, "probably, but it doesn't really matter now, does it? There will always be people who are loyal to Lucius and Velena. People who are willing to believe anything other than their precious community leaders were dark and evil."
Draco took the paper off the table and glanced at the picture of Lucius who was currently glaring at him, before folding it in half and sitting it back down. "Doesn't it bother you though that we probably have price tags on our heads? I know that my father at least will still have power, even in Azkaban."
I shrugged again, "I don't doubt that one day I'll probably be walking down the street or something simple and some fool with a wand will attempt to murder me. Whether they succeed or not, well that depends on the skill of the wizard I suppose."
Draco looked slightly disturbed by this but tried not to show it. "You are not afraid of death," he observed.
"Everyone dies Draco, you can either fear it or accept it. The sooner that you do the latter, the more free that you become. Fear is weakness and all weaknesses should be squashed."
He looked at me with a great amount of interest, "I see that you have resumed to old ways Virginia."
"And what is that supposed to mean Draco?" I asked with a sneer.
"It means," he said bravely, "that you are acting more like the cold hearted bitch that I knew at eleven than the person that you were a few weeks ago."
"And why should that bother you? It's not as though you are notoriously known for showing emotions." His eyes flashed and I raised my eyebrows in interest, "you're angry."
"How would you know that Virginia, I thought that I didn't show emotions." He said bitterly.
I rolled my eyes and looked out the window as it started to rain, "your eyes get this weird flash of darkness thing when you get mad."
He grabbed my wrist and forced my attention back to him. "You see, that's what I'm talking about. You know me better than anyone else, you can read me and I'm deemed unreadable." His face softened as he released my wrist and gently placed a stray piece of hair behind my ear. "I let you in when I shut the entire world out, so don't shut me out now."
I jerked my head away from him but found that I couldn't look away from his pleading gray eyes; the same gray eyes that I saw every night in my dreams pleading back at me in a room of green and silver. "I saw you die Draco. I saw you die and I swear to God that I felt myself die with you. I can't remember ever caring about anyone and then all of the sudden you happened and when I thought that you were gone, I didn't want to live anymore. For the longest time all I've wanted is revenge on Velena and survival but at that moment all I wanted to do was kill myself. I didn't want to live without you and that scares me." I finally pulled my eyes away, "fear is a weakness and I can't afford to be weak."
"Don't lie to me Virginia. If you don't feel ready to talk about that day, then fine, don't talk about it, but don't lie to me. You're right about something scaring you but it wasn't the magnitude of your feelings. I know you Virginia, what are you hiding?"
I felt anger surge through me as I got up from the chair. "Nothing scared me besides that Draco!"
He followed suit and got up from his seat as well. He followed me around the room and proved his temper could easily match my own. "What happened?" He yelled. "Don't feed me this bullshit Virginia, if your feelings were what scared you then why are you with me now? If you can't afford weakness then why are you still with me?"
"He died Draco!" All of my walls came crumbling down and I couldn't lie to him anymore, I couldn't pretend, not even to myself. "He died and I thought that he was you, and I swear to you that I did want to kill myself. But when you came in and I saw that it was him and not you I swear to God that I felt relieved! I was happy because he had died and you had lived!"
He grabbed a hold of me and I felt myself shake, but no tears would come. "It's not your fault that he died Virginia, and it's okay to be happy that I'm alive. Just because you're glad that I lived that doesn't diminish your grief that Blaise died."
I looked up and Draco and I just want to feel. I didn't want to think about death and destruction. I didn't want to be cold anymore. My lips crashed into his and we kissed with such an intensity that I felt as though I would burst from it.
The coldness was lifted from me and suddenly I felt almost feverish. Why is it that nothing makes you feel quite as alive as death? I tried not to think as I hungrily kissed Draco. I felt my robe being slipped off as he began to work on my shirt.
Control the man, but do not let the man control you. If you need a man to satisfy your loneliness then feel free to, but never spend the night with him. Do not get in serious relationships, do not marry, and do not trap yourself. I pushed Velena's voice out of my head, even though she was in Azkaban she had still left her mark on me.
I was once a sweet child with a caring heart but everyday spent with my aunt my heart slowly disappeared and was replaced with malice and cruelty. Having warm feelings would get you nowhere and having a heart only led to the inevitable time of that heart being broken. Draco gave a small cry of triumph as my shirt fell to the floor beside my robe. I glanced down at it as I bent my head back so Draco could place a trail of kisses down my neck. Did I really want this? How alive did I want to feel? I wasn't completely sure of my feelings for Draco, I thought that I loved him, but what if I didn't? I wasn't an expensive whore like my aunt, I didn't want to be someone's sex pawn.
I'm going to Hogwarts and so is my best friend. His name is Draco and we are going to become the most powerful wizards that the world has ever seen. Blaise. I pushed Draco away and waited a moment for our breathing to come under control.
"Draco," I panted, "I can't do this. It's not right, I mean with Blaise and Tom and all of this stuff that's been going on, it wouldn't be fair to you."
He picked my shirt up for me and handed it to me. "I shouldn't have taken advantage of the situation."
I began to button up my shirt but paused long enough to push back a stray piece of blonde hair that was residing in his face. "Not now," I said, "but someday."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Finally my name was called, "Virginia Evansole." McGonagall said loudly.
I heard someone clear their throat, "Weasley." The professor looked shocked that someone would interrupt her. In fact the whole school was now looking at the owner of that bold voice. It was one of the red haired twins. Guess that left little room for doubt on the relative issue. "Her last name is Weasley, Professor McGonagall," the boy continued.
Everyone started at me, waiting for clarification. "My last name is Evansole."
"Virginia, why are we here?"
I looked over at Draco who was currently pouting outside of the Burrow. "Because I want to see them."
He continued to pout and was now looking at the mud covered door as if it would attack him at any moment. "All right I'll rephrase the question then, why am I here?"
"Because they're my family and I want you to meet them." I didn't bother to wait for his response as I knocked loudly on the door.
The door was immediately thrown open and I heard "Ginnybean!" I barley had time to see that it was Charlie who had shouted it before I was roughly lifted up and spun around. After a moment he stopped spinning but I wasn't put down.
Charlie was murmuring things into my hair about how worried he was and I saw Draco looking at me behind Charlie's back mouthing "Ginnybean?"
Finally Charlie put me down and I resumed my spot beside of Draco. I pulled him over where Charlie could see him. "Charlie, this is Draco."
His face puzzled up for a moment as if he wasn't quite sure what to do. Finally he smiled stuck his hand out and greeted, "how ya doing Malfoy?"
Draco apprehensively placed his hand into my brothers, "quite splendid thank you."
Charlie's smile faded as he flashed me a confused look, "all right then." They released hands and Charlie walked inside, signaling for us to follow.
"Quite splendid?" I whispered into Draco's ear. "Drop the whole aristocrat thing, it's kind of creepy."
"Well, would you rather that I-" Draco stopped his sentence and looked down at his boot in disgust, "Virginia I just stepped into something."
I rolled my eyes and walked in front of him, "oh the horror." We walked into the kitchen which I had expected to be full but only contained Charlie, Bill, Fred, and George. I was about to ask where the others were but it then occurred to me that school was still in session. I, as well as Draco, had been excused from the rest of the year, so it was easy for me to forget that others were still at Hogwarts.
So that explained Ron, Harry, and Hermione. As for Percy, well I assumed that he was working, I had heard many times over the holiday break that was all that he ever did. I sat down next the Bill and gestured to Draco to do the same. He looked at the seat for a moment, looking as though he wanted to get a house elf to clean it for him before finally sitting down.
After a few moments of small chat Bill stood up as well as Charlie. "Virginia could we speak to you alone for a minute?" The latter asked. I got up from my chair and saw Draco flash me a panicked look as Fred and George smiled at him evilly.
I bent down and whispered into his ear, "don't worry I'll only be a minute." We walked into the living room and I sat on the couch in between Charlie and Bill. "So what did you want to talk about."
"Well first of all," Bill started, "we just wanted to say how happy and relieved that we are that you're safe." He and Charlie took a moment to smile before hardening their faces. "Now that's out of the way we want to say, just how dumb could you have been to go after the dark lord by yourself!"
I gave them my best innocent look, "I didn't go 'after him' I was tricked into going to him, there is a difference."
"That's not what Dumbledore told us," said Charlie.
"Well then Dumbledore is a liar."
They both drew back from me in horror and I rolled my eyes as I remembered just how Gryffindor they could be. "You know, he is not God, the man is capable of making mistakes."
Bill gave me a stern look, "we do not bad mouth Albus Dumbledore in this household. That man got our family through some of the hardest times that we have known."
"Fine then. So what did he tell you what happened?"
Charlie continued to look at me in disbelief that I had called Dumbledore a liar but told that story anyway. "He told us about the Chamber of Secrets, which you did go down there by yourself Virginia. He told us that you had been portkeyed to the dark lord's secret lair thing and we know that you escaped, obviously, but we do not know the details. We were hoping that you would tell us."
"All right," I said with conviction, "so I went after him one time by myself, but I did not know that it was the memory of Voldemort," they both cringed and but I ignored it. "After that I was tricked into going into a room that turned out to be a portkey."
"By someone using Polyjuice Potion to be Remus Lupin?" Bill asked.
I nodded. "How is Remus?" I asked carefully.
"He's fine," Bill answered. "He recovered nicely from the spells that he was put under to keep him away from you. He's worried about you though, just like a lot of people." I didn't respond and they didn't ask anything else. I could tell that they both wanted to ask once more what had happened the day that Blaise died, but they knew that I wasn't going to answer. There are some things that you just don't talk about. I think that they understood that.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following day I went on one final journey. There was one trip that I had to make, one final demon that I had to put to rest. I had to see my aunt, if only for my own piece of mind.
And so I went to Azkaban alone. I had asked Draco if he wanted to come, maybe talk to Lucius or just wait for me, but he had refused. Whether he would admit if or not, Draco was still afraid of his father, he still viewed his father as some sort of superhuman who would surely kill him if he ever saw his son again. I didn't press the issue as I did not need someone to hold my hand, I was perfectly capable of handling Velena on my own.
Azkaban Prison is the what nightmares are made of. It is dark and bleak and even when there are no dementors around you still feel as though your very soul is being tainted. I felt a sense of bitter gratification as I knew that Velena would serve the remainder of her days here. But as black as her soul surely was, I couldn't help but think that this might seem just like home to her.
I was taken into a small room that was filled only with a table and two chairs and was lit only by two flickering candles. The man who led me there viewed me with wary eyes, he knew who I was as well as who I had come to see. He read the papers, just like everyone else and he had surely drawn his own conclusions from the situation. I didn't waste time as to attempting to figure out what they were, it didn't matter to me. Let people think what they want.
After a moment Velena was dragged into the room and I surveyed her with guarded eyes. Even in the faded gray jumpsuit that was standard here she still held herself with pride and grace. And even in that hideous outfit she still remained one of the most beautiful people that I have ever seen. But I was not fooled by that beauty, I hadn't been for a long time. I searched her eyes and saw with something that felt like relief that they seemed dead somehow, less cruel and more sorrowful. Good, I thought to myself, she deserved some pain.
"Hello Velena." I greeted coldly. She said nothing as she sat in the chair across from mine. I could see it on her face how she yearned to reach across of the old table and strangle me with her bare hands. Too bad for her that we both new that an invisible shield separated us both. An invisible shield not unlike the one that Tom had used to trap me into that bed. Life really is one big ball of irony, isn't it?
"Come to gloat Virginia?"
I slowly licked my lips in the coming anticipation of a fight. "I would not do something so lowly my dear aunt."
"I would not put it beneath you Virginia, you are, after all, your mother's daughter." She said maliciously.
"Better to be her daughter than yours," I retorted with ease.
"If you were my daughter Virginia," she drawled, "you would not have made it past your twelfth birthday."
"It is so refreshing to see that Azkaban hasn't dulled your ever present wit." And with that comment I ended the standard verbal batter that was expected before any real conversation could be allowed.
"So Virginia," she said slowly, "why are you here if not to gloat?"
I ignored her question and leaned against the unsteady table to look at her more closely. There was little light in the room but from what was provided I could see the beginning fades of her beauty. She had bags underneath her eyes and wrinkles were showing through on her forehead. The little things like that she used to magic away were now settling in for the long haul. I willed her to read my eyes, what is keeping you up at night Velena? What demons are hiding in your soul that haunt your very being as the dementors glide outside of your cell?
She leaned back in her chair smugly, she knew what I wanted to know and I knew that she would never answer the real questions that plagued me. She didn't believe in weakness and she would never reveal the things that haunted her, the things that made her feel the foreign emotion of guilt. She would sooner take it the grave with her than she would share it with the one person that she loathed more than anyone else; her sister's child.
"Why?" I asked. "Why did you take me in, why not leave me with the rest?"
"Because," she said in a deliberately slow way, "it amused me to corrupt the very clone of my sister. Look at you Virginia, you were not meant to be a Slytherin, you were made for Gryffindor. Your mother would be ashamed of who you have become. I may despise her but she felt more contempt for me than I ever knew for her and you, her only daughter, has become just like me."
"I am not like you." I said defiantly.
"Aren't you Virginia?" She said with a smile. "Have you not killed? Have you not hated? Do you not wish that you could hurt me right now? Tell me Virginia, is that more like your mother, queen of good, or me?"
"I hate you." I said with vengeance.
"You were meant to. The innocent do not hate, they try to understand what they dislike and attempt to find a way to cope with it or even learn to like it. The corrupted, the evil, and those with lost innocence hate."
I sat back in my seat and looked away from her. She wasn't supposed to gain control of this situation, but somehow, she always did.
I felt her gaze on me as she continued, she always did love to diminish me. "You are, after all Virginia, only what I made you to be. You only know what I taught you and you will only be who I tell you. Even in here, I still control you."
I turned my head and returned her cold glare, "you're wrong. I may know what you taught me but that isn't all that I know. You are fooling yourself if you think that you control me. You are the one that believed that prophecy so much, according to it, shouldn't I be the one controlling you?"
I got up from the chair and placed my hand on the doorknob, but didn't turn it. "I will not come back here again, and I will not think of you if I have any choice in the matter."
"These walls," she said to my back, "these dark creatures, and these pathetic guards will not hold me forever. My Lord will rise again and he will come for me, as well as you. Choosing the path of good and righteousness will only bring you pain and death. We will meet again Virginia, and rest assured that I will not be defeated easily."
I did not turn around, I thought about not even acknowledging her words, but I found that I couldn't. "Spoken like a true villain," I muttered. With that I opened the door and the guard immediately went in to collect the prisoner.
I thought about her words as I left the hell like place. You had to come by boat and it was a long way back to shore, so I had a lot of time to think. Voldemort probably would be back, and with his return he would bring decisions that I would be forced to make. Bounds would be broken and lives would be lost. But it didn't matter, not really anyway.
The saying I'll burn that bridge when I come to it ran through my mind. I felt tired and I felt old. I had experienced way too much in my time on this earth and right now all that I wanted was to rest; to not worry, to be free.
It's funny that the only place that you find true freedom is in love. I spent the past several years of my life running from love and those who could love me. I thought that it would bind me, and make me weak. But in love there is peace and the ties that bind you are what set you free.
And at that moment, I understood. I knew why my mother had given up all that came with the Evansole name to be a Weasley. I knew that there would come a time when I would be forced to face Velena once more, and while I would burn that bridge when I came to it I also knew that I would be ready for her and whatever she brought with her. I had the love of a man that I loved in return, as well as the love and support of my family. What more could I need?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A/N *wipes a stray tear from eye* Well, there it is folks, the end of the story. I realize that some things are left unanswered but in my opinion, the best stories are those that leave things to the imagination. I have had some questions about a sequel, and I don't like to say the word never so I'll just say that I'm not sure. After spending so much time on this story I think that I need a break from all of the drama and everything. I have a vague plot all ready in my head, if I can sort it out then I might write it. But not anytime soon. That is of course if anyone really wants a sequel. Let me know, if enough people request on then I'll definitely be thinking about it. If not, then I'll just forget it. Well this chapter, as well as this story took me forever so I would love some reviews! Long ones too, lol! And if you have questions, be sure to leave your e-mail so I can get back to you!
I would also just like to thank everyone who has ever reviewed this story, you guys have been my motivation through the last few chapters. Also a special thanks to all of my loyal reviewers, you know who you are, and at the risk of sounding highly sentimental I want to say that you'll always have a special place in my heart. God that was cheesy, lol!
fantasyangel- Sorry that I killed Blaise, I didn't think that it was all that strange though. Lol, you should know me by now, if I introduce a character they probably have a target on their forehead. Thank you so much for all of your reviews and I hope that you have enjoyed the story!
Darcel- *hangs head in shame* I know, I probably shouldn't have killed Blaise but someone had to go, and it wouldn't have meant hardly anything if it was someone who didn't mean a thing to Virginia. I'm glad that you liked the last chapter and thank you for all of your continuing support on this story, I really appreciate it.
Ace of Spades- I'm glad that you liked that line, it was one of my favorites too. Thank you so much for all of the reviews that you have left, it means a lot to me to have your support and also thank you for the compliments that you left in your review, I really appreciate them. Thanks for reading and I put in both some D/G action as well as a few Weasley's so you should be happy, lol!
Cactuskitty- I'm so happy that you understand why Blaise died! A lot of people I think felt it unnecessary so I'm glad that you said that. I can understand about you liking violent stories because I am the exact same way. Although, I'm sure that you could have never gotten that from my writing, lol! Thank you so much for all of your reviews and I hope that you liked the ending!
Writing*-*Wonder- Don't worry, you weren't the only person who got mad about Draco dying, but then not dying. I even got a few death threats for even thinking about killing him off, lol! But he made it through the entire story, so everyone should be happy now. Thank you for all of your reviews!
candygi523- I'm glad that you like the story and I hope that you liked the ending! Thank you so much for reviewing!
Eclipse- It means a lot to me that you like this story so much that you don't want it to end. I'm sad to see it coming to an end as well, but also relieved to be done with it, I was beginning to think that it would never end, lol! I have a new story up (Stupid Cupid), I don't remember if you've reviewed it or not. Well, if not then that's what I'll be writing now that this is done. Thank you so much for all of your reviews!
BlackMage- You flatter me too much, lol! But by all means, go ahead, I don't embarrass easily, lol! I have a new story up, Stupid Cupid and it's going to be a D/G, I hope to see you on the review list and I hope that you like it! Thank you so much for all of your continuing support of this story, it means so much to me.
Lyss- Good guess on why Velena wanted Virginia. That contributed to it, but as you saw wasn't the complete reason. I'm glad that you liked how Tom died, I was afraid that it was too sudden and people wouldn't like it. Thank you so much for all of the reviews that you have left for this story, I appreciate it so much.
Icefaery- I agree, poor Blaise. Oh well, can't wallow in the past now, lol! I'm glad that you liked the last chapter and I hope that you enjoyed the end of the story. Thank you for all of your reviews, I appreciate each and every one.
Hplova4eva- Well, here you go, the last chapter. I'm glad that you've been enjoying the story and thank you for reviewing!
ToykoGal89- Aw, when I read your review I swear that I almost cried. I was so happy for this story to end and then as soon as I got reviews for the last chapter and people telling me how much they enjoyed it I swear that I got so sad that it was pathetic, lol! Thank you so much for everything that you said, it really meant a lot to me. Also, thank you for all of your reviews, I appreciate all of them.
Cyndi- What's the saying, one man's junk is another man's treasure? I don't know I just thought about that when you said your advice was crappy, lol! They killed Blaise because they found out that he gave Virginia the diary. Well, hope that cleared it up for you. Thank you for reviewing and I've really appreciated your honesty and advice.
Crystal Megan- Well good thing that I didn't kill off Draco, I quite enjoy my life thank you very much, lol! I'm e-mailing you my review of chapter eleven along with the beta version of your new story (which I'm almost done with by the way, I should have it back to you by tomorrow.) Thank you so much for all of you reviews, I always enjoy getting yours because I know that they'll be long! Later!
Nirvana- Okay, so there wasn't a ton of snogging, but was it enough to satisfy you? Lol, I'm not really that good at writing those type of scenes so I normally just stay away from them. I find that when I write them they come off cheesy. So do you want a sequel? I'm surprised that people aren't sick of this story and doing a little dance because it's over, lol! Thank you for all of your reviews and I hope to hear from you soon!
Kryptonite- Aw, I'm sorry that I made you cry. I know that it was kind of mean of me to do that, but I figured that was the best way for her to realize her feelings. I miss Blaise too though. Thank you so much for all of the reviews that you have left for this story, I really appreciate it.
Wizzabee- Well Velena and Lucius are rotting in Azkaban, is that good enough? Thank you so much for reviewing and I hope that you enjoyed the last chapter!
Sirius's Crazy Chick- I know, I can't believe that I'm finishing a story! Lol, normally I get bored with them and give up. I hope that you liked the end of the story and thank you so much for reading and reviewing!
Me- I wrote as quick as I could, which still turned out to be like a week but hey what can you do? Thank you so much for reviewing and I'm glad that you've liked the story. I hope that you liked the last chapter!
S.e.a- I know, poor Blaise! But I'm glad that you understand my reasons for killing him. Lol, all of my reviews were like 'thank you for not killing Draco, but then again poor Blaise. Oh well, better him than Draco.' So of course you know that I found amusement from it, lol! Glad that you liked the half-moon guy even though he wasn't evil, but hey, not everyone can be evil. Velena is in Azkaban, but even in there, she still remains evil. That woman is relentless, lol! Thank you for all of the reviews that you've left, I appreciate all of them.
Auri- Lol, sorry that I scared you with the Blaise/Draco death thing. I got a lot of people with that one. *cackles* I'm evil! Yep, Velena is in Azkaban, I'm sure that no one is disappointed about that though. Thank you for all of your reviews and I hope that you liked the last chapter!
Frananddragon- Good thing that I didn't kill off Draco or else I think that I would be dead a dozen times over by now, lol! I didn't get your other review, but I understand about ff.net, it does it to me too! I'm sorry that I killed Blaise, but someone had to go! You want to know her plan? Hmm, well I could tell you but it actually wasn't that good. It was how I was going to originally have the story end but I decided it sucked so I'll probably take it to the grave with me, lol! Thank you for all of your reviews, I've really appreciated the support!
JerseyPike- There you go, finally some Weasley interaction. Sorry that it wasn't much though, it didn't really fit with my whole tone of the chapter. Thank you for all of your reviews, they are much appreciated, and sorry that I killed off Blaise! Here, you can hit me if you like, lol!
Malkavian Kirie Croiff- I speak some Spanish. I've taken three years of it so I should be almost fluent, but I'm dumb at that kind of stuff so I'm not, lol! Thank you for reviewing! Also, you want me to send you mail? Well, do you me like an actual e-mail or just update news? Lol, I'll be more than happy to e-mail you though, I love to talk to people!
LoonyLovegood- Thank you for saying that about the title. Lol, I've always thought that it was kind of stupid myself, but hey what you read is what you get…or something like that. Thank you for reviewing!
swt-angel-babi3- I'm glad that you liked the last chapter, I hope that you liked this one (since it's the final one and all!) Thank you so much for reviewing this story, I really appreciate it!
Well, that's it, I'm done! *does a little victory dance* Now here is your final chance to review. Just click the button and tell me what you thought…go on, you know that you want to! Well why are you still here reading this? REVIEW!
Oh wait, real quick, the more that I think about it the more that I'm getting suckered into the sequel idea so does anyone want me to e-mail them when/if I get the sequel up? Just leave your e-mail in the review if you do.
