Happy Endings

A/N: this is the sixth and final chapter kids!  Hope you enjoy…and Shell…SHUSH UR FACE! Lolz it's gonna turn good…. oops…. oh well enjoy!  I must also say… I'm thinking of doing a sequel about Harry's auror training!

Lynzi put her head in her hands, and started sobbing.  Ron just looked absolutely shocked.  Harry, however, was kind of expecting it.  He was used to heartbreak in his life, and figured more was on the way.  He patted Lynzi's arm and said, "It's not your fault."  Brittany was standing still as a statue next to Carrie.  Carrie narrowed her eyes at her.

"Well get the boy some firewhisky," she said.

"Right away ma'am," Brittany said saluting, and running away to get firewhisky.  Carrie then turned to Harry.

"You are allowed to see her one last time," she said.  "But, the boy only," she added holding up a hand as Lynzi had started standing up.  Ron moved over a seat and started to rub her back as more tears poured out of her eyes.  Harry cautiously opened the door.  He slowly approached Cho's bed.  She was lying there, lifeless.  Harry grabbed her hand.  She still looked more beautiful than ever.  For the first time in many years, Harry Potter cried.

*~*~*

It was many hours later, and Harry still hadn't left Cho's bedside.  Carrie didn't seem to care, for she never came in.  Brittany, however, did.  Harry groaned when she came in.  He still wanted to be left alone, even though it had been at least five hours since Carrie had told him the heartbreaking news. 

"What do you want?" Harry asked rather rudely.

"Your firewhisky, sir," she said saluting.  The cup was still steaming.

"It's been hours, though!  I don't need it anymore," Harry said.

"Carrie told me not to bother you, but I figured you might want this.  OH GOD DAMN IT," she said, screaming the last sentence.  The firewhisky had slipped from her hands, and burned a hole in the floor.  Carrie came running in.

"YOU CLUMSY FOOL!  THAT'S IT…. YOU'RE FIRED," she screamed, pointing Brittany out the door.  Brittany hung her head low and walked slowly out of the room.  "Mr. Potter, I'm afraid you'll have to leave now.  Cho's family is here," Carrie then said turning to Harry.

"Oh…all right then," Harry said, standing up and walking out of the door.  Ron and Lynzi were still sitting there waiting. 

"Err… I think Lauren's at the Burrow… do you want to come back with us?" Ron asked.

"Whatever…" Lynzi said.  She seemed pretty down about what happened.  Harry figured that she was still taking the blame for it.  They all apparated back to the Burrow.  Sure enough, Lauren was there with Fred, George, Hermione, and Mrs. Weasley sitting at the kitchen table.

"Lynz?  What's wrong?" Lauren said standing up and running over to Lynzi.  More tears just ran down Lynzi's face.  Lauren shot Ron and Harry a puzzled look.

"Err," was all Ron could say.

"Cho died," Harry said as if it were no big deal.  Lauren just gasped, and then she too started to cry.  Fred put his arms around her to comfort her.  Hermione ran over and hugged Ron.  He didn't seem to care.  He just stood there.  So, the kitchen was full of crying people while Mrs. Weasley was trying to make dinner.  She was muttering about how everyone needs to eat no matter what.  Hermione was eyeing Ron with a puzzled look.  He kept shooting glances at the sobbing Lynzi.  George was sitting next to her rubbing her back, and Ron looked jealous of this.  But George was just trying to be nice after all.  Hermione then pulled Ron out of the room, and up the stairs to talk.

"Ron is something wrong?  You don't seem to like me as much as I thought you did," Hermione said.

"I like you Hermione…." Ron said.

"Well you have an odd way of showing it," Hermione said angrily.

"I don't think this is working…." Ron said.

"Hold it.  Let's just stop fighting and go on with it.  I love you Ron," she said, kissing Ron on the cheek and walking away.

Meanwhile at St. Mungo's

Carrie showed Cho's family into the room.  Cho's little sister was crying her eyes out, along with her mother.  Her father just looked morbidly depressed, but was not crying.  They all walked over to the bed, not believing that that was their family member lying there dead.  Her mother finally spoke.

"I knew quidditch was d-dangerous…. Just k-knew it," her mother sobbed.  It was her sister, Suni, who spoke next.

"Who would do this to her?  WHO?" she screamed knocking the lamp off the table.  It was a very large lamp, and made a lot of noise.  Carrie looked extremely annoyed at the broken lamp, but then Cho's eyes fluttered open.

"W-what happened?" she said groggily.

"CHO!  OH DARLING YOU'RE ALIVE," her mother said sobbing a bit more out of happiness.  Suni squealed with delight, and ran over to give Cho a hug.  She then grinned sheepishly and said, "Lucky I did knock over that lamp, eh?"  Carrie laughed sarcastically, and went to get a broom to clean it up.   Cho then spoke again.

"What happened?"

"Well, we're not sure actually," her father said.  "I think your boyfriend, Harry, does though.  Why don't we send him an owl?" her father suggested.

"Ok… but I don't have one," Cho said.

"I DO!  I DO!  OH OH I DO," Brittany said stumbling into the room.  "This is Chuck," she said holding up a large gray owl.

"I thought I fired you…." Carrie growled.

"Oh don't fire her!  She's saved the day," Suni said with a wide grin.  Carrie glared back at her, but then agreed to it.

"WOOT!!!!  I'M NOT FIRED," Brittany said, running out of the room doing a happy dance.  Cho scrawled a note to Harry then sent Chuck away with it.

*~*~*

Everyone was still sitting in the kitchen when Chuck arrived.  Harry tore open the note.

It was in Cho's writing.

Hi Harry!  It's Cho… I need explaining on what happened?  My family is here at St. Mugo's.  I heard you were, too.  Cone by as soon as possible.

Love,

Cho

Harry stared at the note in disbelief.  Was Cho actually alive?  He quickly told everyone, and he, Ron, Lynzi, and Hermione apparated away to St. Mungo's.  Harry ran down the halls, with his friends at his heels, to Cho's room.  He ran in, and hugged Cho.

"Thank God…" he said.

"CHO I'M SO SORRY," Lynzi said, sobbing and giving Cho a hug also.

"What happened?" she said.

"Well… at the quidditch match the Whales beaters hit a Dobble Defence at you.  Not purposely, but it hit you in the stomach…. Carrie thought you were dead," Harry said pointing to the healer standing by the door.  Brittany was once again standing next to her as still as a statue.  Carrie kept narrowing her eyes at her.

"Who's that person next to Carrie?  Is that another healer who helped me?" Cho asked.

"Oh no!  I thought you were fired…" Harry said. 

"I got un-fired," Brittany said with a very wide grin.  Carrie snorted.

"Well, that's Carrie's clumsy, annoying prick of an assistant," Harry said.  Cho just nodded.  Everyone was very happy, and that night Harry sat in a chair in Cho's room.  In fact, he sat in it all night long.

*~*~*

Ron and Hermione had gone back to the Burrow that night.  Hermione said she was in the mood to make out, but Ron said he wasn't and went to bed.  It had been six years, and he finally got what he wanted.  Hermione.  But why wasn't he happy about it?  Why did he feel like he liked Lynzi more than Hermione?  For the first time in years, Ron wished he had never let Lynzi go.

*~*~*

By the next day, Ron knew that he loved Lynzi, and not Hermione.  He didn't even think Hermione deserved him with what she did to Fred to get him.  So that morning after breakfast Ron pulled her outside into the garden.

"We need to talk…." Ron said.

"This doesn't sound very good…" Hermione muttered.

"Well, I think that… I love Lynzi.  Not you.  I thought I loved you all these years, but then when I went out with Lynzi…I just…changed my mind…I didn't realize it till now… and I really don't think you deserve me after what you did to my brother," Ron explained.

"Oh…y-yes…. alright…" Hermione said, walking away with tears springing from her eyes.

Two Months Later

Harry was as happy as he had ever been.  He had started his auror training in Ireland, but was back for a visit with Cho.  Him, Cho, Ron, Lynzi, Fred, and Lauren had met outside the Leaky Cauldron for drinks.  They walked inside, and found Hermione sitting at the bar looking very drunk and depressed with a drink in her hand.  No one even bothered to say hi to her, especially after what they had heard.  Hermione had blown it at her internship at the Ministry.  She kept getting to drunk to go into work.  She had been so depressed about what had happened with Ron that she started a drinking problem.  Lynzi and Ron had started going out of course.  Hermione could be found these days sitting in the Leaky Cauldron, drinking her life away.  Lauren and Lynzi figured that she deserved it.  Using Fred to get Ron was not the right thing to do.  Lynzi and Lauren had figured that this was what she got for the horrible thing she did.

THE END!!!!!
