Chapter 4: Captured, and Free
An hour after Hedwig had left Mr. Weasley arrived. He walked into the classroom and looked at Peter. Then a squad came in and took him away.
"Careful. He's an animagus" Harry said.
They cast a spell to prevent him from transforming and left. Mr. Weasley looked at Harry.
"Nice job" he said before he walked out to question Peter and the Ministry.
Harry dismissed his class for Dinner. He headed there with Dumbledore and they sat down at the staff table. Harry placed some food on his plate and ate. He was about to leave when Dumbledore stood up. The hall got quite.
"Today, I would like it to be known that Harry Potter is not an orphan. Nor has he been for the last 16 years. For I am his Great Grandfather" Dumbledore said.
Every one looked at Harry. Including the staff. They were all smiling including Snape. The hall started applauding and shouting. The next morning there was a front page story about Dumbledore's announcment to the School.
HARRY POTTER NO LONGER AN ORPHAN! 'Yesterday evening it was announced that Harry Potter is not an orphan. Albus Dumbledore confirmed what the ministry had been thinking at dinner over at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Dumbledore being Harry's Great Grandfather has no dought already told him why he who must not be named killed his parents. Harry as the youngest is now Gryffindor's rightful heir.'
It continued onto 1 more page and Harry read it all.
"Figure's" Harry said. He got up and headed for his class.
He had a free period and went to his charms lesson. As the day progressed almost every class he had asked if the prophet was true. Harry told them it was then told them to get working on the spells, hexes, and curses. The weeks passed fast. Harry had graded papers over and over again before he had done his own homework. It seemed that everyone liked to draw on their paper because there were doodles of everything on the homework papers. Harry laughed at 1 particular one where it showed Dumbledore as a young boy. He was trying to climb a tree. Soon it was time for the test. He had the 5 year Hufflepuffs first. He lead them outside and into the back near where he had done the first task in the Triwizard Tournament. There was a maze with heges as tall as Hagrid.
"Here we have our maze. It is filled with all sorts of animals you could come face to face with should you become an Auror. You will need to be relaxed and focused in here. Nothing can happen to you shall you fail to defeat an animal if that happens the animal will disappear and reappear after you have left. There is sphinx in there so only go up against it if your sure you can figure out the riddle" Harry said "I will put you in 3 at a time. When you come out the other end come back around the maze to take your written test".
He split the class up and sent them in 3 at a time. They finished 15 minutes early. What the class didn't know was how Harry was grading them as he couldn't see them. He had set up special cameras and had attached them to their robes when he toucjed them to send them in. Collected them after they came out by patting them on the shoulder. He led them back up and met his next class. He did this all day and by dinner time his legs were really sore from walking and standing the entire day. He sat down at the staff table.
"Tired" Dumbledore asked.
"You have no idea. It's like when Hermione and I go to the Cheer camp. Oh wait I never told you. Hermione made me join her cheer team" Harry said.
"Are you serious" Dumbledore asked.
"Yeah. I met her in the park by my relactive's house and she convinced me to be on the team. Then she dragged me to a week long Cheer camp. The last night we had a camp fire and 1 person from each team had to go up and throw their goal stick into the flames in hope that their goals would work out. Well I was that 1. I went up there said my name and as I did there were flashes of girls taking my picture. I thought that was normal you know cause I was the first person up there but no one else had their picture taken as many times as I did. Then when I was buying a pop for Hermione and I, I heard a group of girls saying they used an entire roll of film taking pictures of me. Then I heard something less expected. 1 girl said 'oh my god. Do you know who this is. It's Harry Potter" I was surprised that there were any wizards and witches there besides me and Hermione" Harry said.
Dumbledore chuckled.
"Where are you going after dinner" Dumbledore asked.
"I have to go to Hogsmead. I'm running out of supplies for my class room" Harry said.
"Ah. That happens a lot with the DADA teachers. Well they seam to be learning a lot more about DADA know that your teaching" Dumbledore said.
"Gee I wonder why" Harry said sarchasticly.
They finished eating and Harry left when Hermione left the hall. He ran to catch up with her.
"Hermione" Harry shouted.
She slowed down a little but not enough for Harry to catch up with her.
"Hermione" he shouted.
She stopped.
"Didn't you hear me calling" Harry asked.
"Yes" Hermione said.
"What's up" Harry asked.
"Well" Hermione started.
"Hermione wait. I know I havn't really been able to spend time with you but" Harry started.
"Harry I realize your busy. And you have no idea what Ron did to me when you were busy" Hermione asked.
"What did he do" Harry asked.
"He, he" Hermione started.
Then she started crying. There could only be 1 reason why she was crying. Ron had raped her.
"Hermione. I am so sorry for not paying more attention and for almost ignoring you" Harry said.
Ron would pay. But he wouldn't say that aloud. Hermione threw herself into Harry's arms. He hugged her and led her up to the common room. On the way there Ron walked down the hall.
"Hey Harry" Ron said.
Harry let go of Hermione and punched Ron. Harry took Hermione again and they walked the rest of the way to the common room. When Ron staggered in he began to talk.
"So. What was that for" he asked.
Harry held Hermione closer.
"What do you think" Harry asked.
"I have no idea" Ron said purposly looking confused.
"Don't act stupid" Hermione said.
"That's not an act" Harry said.
They laughed and got up. They headed out of the common room to make their rounds. When they came back Ron was on top of Lavender. She was maoning.
"Uh,uh" Harry said.
Ron turned around.
"Lavender do you know what he did to me" Hermione asked with her arms folded.
"No" Lavender said.
Hermione walked to her and whispered in her ear.
"No" Lavender said.
She got up and slapped Ron. Lavender walked into her dorm, and Harry, and Hermione left and went to the special dormatories for the Head Boy, and Girl. Ron starred at them angrily. He almost had Lavender. Now he wouldn't have anyone in the entire school because it would spread like wild fire. He went up to bed. He looked at Neville's bed. His sister was there with Neville and they were sleeping. Parvati was with Seamus, and Laura the new girl was with Dean.
The year passed fast and soon Harry was giving out the N.E.W.T's. At the Graduation feast Harry, and Hermione both had to give speeches. Hermione stepped up first.
"When I first found out I was a witch, I was over joyed. When I came to Hogwarts I was scared. Sure I was smart and devoted to my studies, but I had no friends and I was muggle born. My first real friend was Harry Potter. He had saved me from a Troll on Halloween. As the years passed I had an adventure every year. Finally last year, Harry Potter got rid of Voldemort with the help of myself. This year was much better. There were no battles and we're graduating. As the Head Girl I would like to wish every one luck in finding jobs and being on your own" Hermione said.
She sat down and Harry stood up.
"As you may know, I am Harry Potter. I lived with my Aunt, Uncle, and Cousin until I came to Hogwarts. Here I found friends and people like me. Every where I went people knew my name. It was weird having people stair at me every day. I attended my classes, and preformed spells. Over these last 7 years I have learned more spells, hexes, curses, and learned about animals. I have learned how to be an animagus, I have learned many things. But the most important was how to concure my fear. Most of my teachers helped with that. I leave here today saying that it has been an honor teaching here and being Head Boy." Harry said.
He sat down and the teachers each stood up and passed out awards. They had a huge dinner where Harry, and Hermione were told how great their speeches were.
"Hermione can we go outside for a minute" Harry asked.
"Sure" Hermione said and followed him outside.
Harry led her over to the lake and they sat down. He took out a small package and handed it to her. She looked at him and opened it. There was a note on top. 'Marry Me' it said. Underneath was a magnificent ring. It was a gold band with 1 emerald, then 1 diamond, then 1 saphire. She looked at him.
"Yes" she whispered.
Harry looked at her and smiled. He slipped the ring onto her finger. He stood up and pulled her up. He raped his arms around her waist and bent down. He captured her lips in his in a sweet kiss. They broke apart and smiled at eachother. Hermione shivered a little.
"Lets go inside" Harry said noticing this.
He took her hand and they walked up to the castle. When they entered the Great Hall Harry remembered something.
"This is going to be great" Harry said.
"What will be great" Hermione asked as Ron came up.
"Well I'm not 18 yet so I have to go back to the Dursleys until my birthday. But I have graduated Hogwarts and can do magic now" Harry said.
"That's brilliant mate" Ron said.
"I know" Harry said and smirked.
The 3 of them walked to the table that held the Grangers, the Weasley's, and Remus. They sat down.
"So. Exited to have graduated" Remus asked Hermione.
"Deffinatly" she said reaching for her glass.
"Hermione, dear. What is that on your hand" Mrs. Granger asked.
"Hermione looked where she was pointing, then at Harry.
She quickly withdrew her hand and hid it inside her robes.
"Nothing" she said quickly.
"Are you sure, It looked like a" Mrs. Granger started.
She squeled out loud.
"Ohhhhhhh" she said happily.
"What" the rest of the table asked.
"I knew it" Mrs. Granger said.
"What" the table asked again.
Hermione sunk low in her chair.
"It's nothing" Hermione said.
She looked at Harry who was smiling at her.
"Oh alright" Hermione said. She took her hand out of her robes and held it up. The little light coming from the candle's that filled the hall glinted off the ring and sent the shimer to all the table's. The entire hall was now looking at it. Hermione and Harry sunk into their chairs. The hall was gazing at them curious. Then it hit them. They all burst into applause. Harry looked at Hermione and they smiled at each other. Once the Hall had finished everybody went to bed. The graduat's would spend their last night dancing and some singing at the dance that followed after the adults left. The 1st song was a slow song and Harry led Hermione onto the floor. She put her arms around his neck and rested her head on his shoulder. He put his arms around her waist and rested his head on hers. They danced. Many couple's were dancing like this. The dance ended.
"We need a volenteer to sing" the witch at the micro phone said.
Harry looked at the guys from Gryffindor tower in his year minus Ron.
"What do you say guys wanna go play some of our songs" Harry asked.
"Sure, but what about Hermione" Dean asked.
Hermione was their singer.
"Lets go" she said.
They headed up to the stage.
"Who is this" the witch asked them quietly.
"We're the band ETERNALLY" Harry said.
"Welcome ETERENALLY" the witch shouted.
Every body clapped. Hermione stepped up to the mic as the guys took up their instruments. Harry was also a singer and he played guitar. They started the song.
"There comes a time, when you face the toughest of fights, searching for a sign, lost in the darkest of night, the wind blows so cold standing alone, before the battle's begun, but deep in your soul, the future unfolds, as bright as the rays of the sun, you've got to beleave in the power of love, you've got to beleave in the power of love, it gives meaning to each moment it's what our hearts are all made of, you've got to beleave in the power of love, in the power of love, in the power of love, in the power of love" Hermione sang as the guys played the melody.
The song ended and there were tears in many people's eye's.
"Well I think it's unanimus that we all want another song" the witch said. The hall cheered. ENTERNALLY started playing another song.
"I've waited all of my life, for the day when love appears, like a fairy tall in days gone by, he will rescue me from my fears, and now I feal him standing close to me, and how can I tell him what he means to me, my heart stands still has he come, Oh starry night, is this the moment I dream of, oh starry night, tell me is he my own true love, every night I think of him, here in my lonelly room, waiting for my prince to come, wondring if he'll be here soon, and I sit patiantly waiting for some one, and I hope that his heart longs for mine, he calls my name, is he the one, oh starry night, is this the moment I dream of, oh starry night, tell me is he my own true, oh starry night, is he the one that I dream of, oh starry night, how will I know, will his love show, is he my own true love".
The song ended and the hall was crying harder.
"I don't think we should do another sad song right now"
Harry whispered to his band.
"There are days in those gray skys, who make you blue, each forward step take, fall back by two, you been hit by some hard rocks, you just can't stand, feeling like Alice felt, in wonderland, let me be the one to lend a hand, call my name and I'll be there, there's nothing like the laughter that we share, when ever you need some one, or a shoulder to lean on, call my name and I'll be there, and when lifes going your way, just like a breeze, it's a kite flying kinda day above the tree's, together we'll be makin memories, call my name and I'll be there" the song went on and every body was dancing joyasly with the tears long forgotten.
The dance ended and every body went up to their common rooms. They fell asleep and waited for the next day. When Harry woke up the next morning he dressed and took his stuff down to the common room. He met Ron, and Hermione and they took their stuff down to the Enterence Hall. They went into the Great Hall and grabbed some toast, and waffles and headed down to Hogsmead. They borded the train. And it took off. They sat in the compartment eating their snacks and talking about what they were going to do after their apparation tests. Harry had to go back to his aunt, and uncle's, Hermione was going to the Leaky Cauldron, and Ron was going to Italy with Charlie. They arrived at Platform 9 ¾. They were ushered to a side and taught a spell. They preformed it and they all popped into a field a mile away next to more wizards. They received their liscence and they all apparated where they were going with their stuff. Harry apparated with his his trunk to the Dursley's.
"What are you doing here" Vernon asked.
"I'm not 18 yet. So I have to stay here" Harry said.
"And that means since your not 18 you can't use magic" Vernon said evilly.
"Oh, no I graduated so I can use magic" Harry said.
"No. Absolutly not" Vernon said.
"Would you like something" Harry asked.
"I'd like a dohnut" Dudley said.
Harry waved his wand a box of dohnuts appeared on the coffee table. He took 1 and draged his trunk up the stairs. He walke back down and went into the kitchen where his aunt was trying to make dinner.
"Need some help" Harry asked.
"Wash the dishes for dinner" she said. Harry waved his wand and the dishes washed themselves.
"There's many things you use magic for" Harry said.
He waved his wand and the food she was making started cooking itself. She screamed and stepped back.
"I got it" Harry said.
"What are you doing hear anyway" she asked.
"Well I'm not 18 yet so I still have to stay with you until my birthday then I'm gone. Oh my friend is coming over for dinner" Harry said.
"Is he coming the normal way" she asked.
"Harry was about to correct her but thought against it.
"Yes" Harry said.
He waved his wand and the dishes finished and the food was done. The doorbell rang. Harry walked to answer it. Vernon pushed him out of the way so Dudley could get it. Harry glarred at him and watched leaning against the door. Dudley opened it and there stood Hermione. His girlfriend.
"Hi" Dudley said some what flirty.
"Um...Hi" she said.
"Come in" Dudley said.
He hadn't even asked who she was. Hermione stepped inside and saw Harry. She ran over to him as Dudley closed the door. She threw her arms around his neck and gave him a hug.
"Calm down Hermione, I saw you this morning" he said then in her ear he whispered "I missed you".
She looked at him and let him go with a smile. Dudley looked at Harry jealosly. Dudley came up to them. He took Hermione's hand and began to pull her up the stairs.
"Where are you taking me" she asked.
"We're going to my room" Dudley said wiggling his eyebrows.
Hermione slipped out of his grip and went back down to Harry.
"Harry your cousins scaring me" Hermione said.
"Want to scare him" Harry asked.
She nodded her head. Harry waved his wand and sent a small stream of sparks at him. Dudley yelped and dove out of the way. Harry and Hermione chuckled a little and headed into the dining room where the plates and begun to fill themselves.
"This is my girlfriend Hermione" Harry said. Vernon snorted.
"Is she like you" he asked.
"In what way. We're like each other in a lot of ways" Harry said.
"You know perfectly well what way that is" Vernon said.
"I'm afraid I don't" Harry said innocently seating her at the side of the table.
He sat next to her and starred at his Uncle.
"Is she your kind" Vernon asked.
"I'm a witch if that's what you mean" Hermione said.
AN: Here's the 4th chapter enjoy.
An hour after Hedwig had left Mr. Weasley arrived. He walked into the classroom and looked at Peter. Then a squad came in and took him away.

"I don't think we should do another sad song right now"
Harry whispered to his band.
"There are days in those gray skys, who make you blue, each forward step take, fall back by two, you been hit by some hard rocks, you just can't stand, feeling like Alice felt, in wonderland, let me be the one to lend a hand, call my name and I'll be there, there's nothing like the laughter that we share, when ever you need some one, or a shoulder to lean on, call my name and I'll be there, and when lifes going your way, just like a breeze, it's a kite flying kinda day above the tree's, together we'll be makin memories, call my name and I'll be there" the song went on and every body was dancing joyasly with the tears long forgotten.
The dance ended and every body went up to their common rooms. They fell asleep and waited for the next day. When Harry woke up the next morning he dressed and took his stuff down to the common room. He met Ron, and Hermione and they took their stuff down to the Enterence Hall. They went into the Great Hall and grabbed some toast, and waffles and headed down to Hogsmead. They borded the train. And it took off. They sat in the compartment eating their snacks and talking about what they were going to do after their apparation tests. Harry had to go back to his aunt, and uncle's, Hermione was going to the Leaky Cauldron, and Ron was going to Italy with Charlie. They arrived at Platform 9 ¾. They were ushered to a side and taught a spell. They preformed it and they all popped into a field a mile away next to more wizards. They received their liscence and they all apparated where they were going with their stuff. Harry apparated with his his trunk to the Dursley's.
"What are you doing here" Vernon asked.
"I'm not 18 yet. So I have to stay here" Harry said.
"And that means since your not 18 you can't use magic" Vernon said evilly.
"Oh, no I graduated so I can use magic" Harry said.
"No. Absolutly not" Vernon said.
"Would you like something" Harry asked.
"I'd like a dohnut" Dudley said.
Harry waved his wand a box of dohnuts appeared on the coffee table. He took 1 and draged his trunk up the stairs. He walke back down and went into the kitchen where his aunt was trying to make dinner.
"Need some help" Harry asked.
"Wash the dishes for dinner" she said. Harry waved his wand and the dishes washed themselves.
"There's many things you use magic for" Harry said.
He waved his wand and the food she was making started cooking itself. She screamed and stepped back.
"I got it" Harry said.
"What are you doing hear anyway" she asked.
"Well I'm not 18 yet so I still have to stay with you until my birthday then I'm gone. Oh my friend is coming over for dinner" Harry said.
"Is he coming the normal way" she asked.
"Harry was about to correct her but thought against it.
"Yes" Harry said.
He waved his wand and the dishes finished and the food was done. The doorbell rang. Harry walked to answer it. Vernon pushed him out of the way so Dudley could get it. Harry glarred at him and watched leaning against the door. Dudley opened it and there stood Hermione. His girlfriend.
"Hi" Dudley said some what flirty.
"Um...Hi" she said.
"Come in" Dudley said.
He hadn't even asked who she was. Hermione stepped inside and saw Harry. She ran over to him as Dudley closed the door. She threw her arms around his neck and gave him a hug.
"Calm down Hermione, I saw you this morning" he said then in her ear he whispered "I missed you".
She looked at him and let him go with a smile. Dudley looked at Harry jealosly. Dudley came up to them. He took Hermione's hand and began to pull her up the stairs.
"Where are you taking me" she asked.
"We're going to my room" Dudley said wiggling his eyebrows.
Hermione slipped out of his grip and went back down to Harry.
"Harry your cousins scaring me" Hermione said.
"Want to scare him" Harry asked.
She nodded her head. Harry waved his wand and sent a small stream of sparks at him. Dudley yelped and dove out of the way. Harry and Hermione chuckled a little and headed into the dining room where the plates and begun to fill themselves.
"This is my girlfriend Hermione" Harry said. Vernon snorted.
"Is she like you" he asked.
"In what way. We're like each other in a lot of ways" Harry said.
"You know perfectly well what way that is" Vernon said.
"I'm afraid I don't" Harry said innocently seating her at the side of the table.
He sat next to her and starred at his Uncle.
"Is she your kind" Vernon asked.
"I'm a witch if that's what you mean" Hermione said.
