Chapter 29: Fabula (story)
Wah! It's almost the end,... only this chapter and four more,... _ review me,.. pretty please?
There was no one left in the whole school, not even the people who were under Imperius. 'They have been disapparated. I'm pretty sure they are all at their homes,..' Tonks said. Hermione nodded. 'Yeah, I'm pretty sure about that too.' 'Did you use Thestrals to come here?' Lupin asked. 'Yeah, they should be around here somewhere,...' Harry said, looking around. They were standing in front of the gate; two Thestrals.
Hermione and Harry got on one and Tonks and Lupin on the other one. 'Hogwarts!' shouted Lupin, and within seconds, they were flying through the air.
'Harry!,... d'you reckon it's really over,... everything I mean?' asked Hermione while holding on to his shoulders. 'I think so... I mean,.. there's not more,..troubles,..' he replied, deep in thought. Before Hermione could say anything, the thestral had already landed at Hogwarts grounds.
Immediatly, Professors Dumbledore, McGonagall and Snape came walking their direction.
'Mister Potter,.. Miss Granger,... you have broken over 20 school rules, not to mention-' McGonagall began. 'These two have defeated Voldemort.' Lupin cut her off. There was a short silence, Harry and Hermione looked at eachother. Then McGonagall clapped her hand in front of her mouth, grabbing Dumbledore's arm for support. Dumbledore himself was smiling proud, wiping away a single tear of happiness and relief. Snape, however, was standing with his arms crossed. Everyone seemed unable to speak.
'If you don't mind... I want to announce to the staff first,... are you two up to telling the story?' Dumbledore asked. Harry looked at Hermione, who nodded and they both followed Dumbledore inside. The staff room was filled with teachers, their teachers and some people Harry only knew by face. He and Hermione were asked to tell the story in front of the staff. Harry looked at Hermione, quiete unsure wheter to start the story or let her do the talking.
Hermione began. 'Well,.. I think it all started at the beginning of our year... with the rumor, which isn't truth, in the Quibbler. It said Harry had killed Bellatrix Lestrange, who was 'innocent' in the eyes of the author. Anyway, I was actually thinking why the Quibbler would say such a thing; the Quibbler is a magazine by the father of Luna Lovegood, a .. friend of ours. So I was really shocked. But then I was transfered to the other school, Soleil School for Sorcery, and the headmaster happened to be Luna's father. Because I didn't want to stay at that school, I contacted Harry. he said he would try to find a way to get me back. But when he and Ron entered the school,.. well,.. they ran into a trap,..' Hermione looked at Harry.
'Uhm... yeah, well, this trap, it was like a maze,.. it was under the school's basement,.. and me and Ron were getting lost,.. we both went different directions because of a trap underwater and... which is a bit hard to explain. But me and Ron got seperated and I met Hermione, who had come to look for us, together with Luna. And then we ran into Voldemort,...' Harry paused.
'We discovered he had been using the Imperius curse on the entire school, including Luna's family. This explains why the Quibbler published such a rumor; it had been published while Luna's dad was possesed. I think the rumor has been published to get people against Harry,... though it didn't really work. Anyhow, we managed to escape and we met Luna and Ron before flying back on the Thestrals,..'
'And that's where Professor Lupin and Tonks get into the story' Harry added. 'They were there to spy for the order, if I'm correct, to see if the Soleil School for Socery truly was the hideout for Voldemort. And it was; just before we flew away, I saw Lupin and Tonks getting captured by Death Eaters,...' Hermione nodded.
'When we arrived here, they told us there had been attacks and the school was going to close. Ginny told us aboput the giants and we remembered that Lupin and Tonks were in danger, so Harry and I agreed on going back. We flew back with the Thestrals and managed to get into the School without being noticed. We were going to save Tonks and Professor Lupin,... but we came across Voldemort,..'
'We had no choice but to fight him. But he killed Hermione...' the staff room looked puzzled. 'But due to the ghosts of her mother and grandmother she was able to... well,...live again. It was pretty strange,... anyhow, Voldemort was angry and summoned 5 Death Eaters,... one of them was Lucius Malfoy' Snape raised his eyebrows and Dumbledore nodded.
Harry continued. 'Well,.. Hermione was fighting the Death Eaters, and I was trying to keep up with Voldemort,.. and well,... we defeated them.'
The whole room was silent. Then, suddenly, everbody stood up and clapped their hands, cheering and congradulating them, some still doubting wheter it was really over or not.
