Here's 24-the end

Chapter 24, The Curse and Going Home

(A/N Due to the timing of this story, I want to fast forward to make it April, my story plan told me I was behind with you, so sorry, just letting you know, all the things still happened in this order, but its just later in the year, all of this took place over a greater amount of time)

When Harry got to Mcgonagalls door, he raped on it very hardly.

"One moment" she said coming to the door "oh Harry, do come in" Minerva said.

"Hello Minerva, I heard you heard you had some info on whats ailing my daughter" Harry said. Mcgonagall shook her head, and beckoned him into her private corners.

"I figured out what curse he used actually, but it is one, that takes many strong forces to break" Minerva said.

"What do you mean?" Harry asked.

"Well, sit down, I'll explain the spell to you. There is a counter-curse, but not very many people know about it, in the process it will kill the caster (Lucious Malfoy) but it relays very much on trust. Katie and Jenny would each have to choose 2 adults they'd trust with there life, other then there parents, and the two trusties can't be realated. Then they have to pick 3 kid blood realatives of theres, with whom they'd trust there life. Then choose 2 good friends and 1 enemy whom they can trust" Mcgonagall explained. "Each girl will have to do this, for although the spell was a joint one, it was still cast on 2 different people. After the people are choosen then, and only then can we cast the counter-spell. I'll have a talk with the girls when they get well again".

"No, it's okay, I'll explain to them, when they get home for Easter break, I'm assuming, I can take them, can't I?" Harry questioned.

"Oh, of course, they can leave a day early, take them home to there loved ones, that's where they need to be" Mcgonagall stated. With that Harry went off to get his girls, for the were going home for the Easter break...

Chapter 25 Coming Home and Tough Decisions

When the girls approached the potters door, with Harry the next day, they had big grins on there faces.

"Oh, Jenny, Katy Cat" Hermione screamed throwing them both into a huge bear hug, and attacking them with kisses. Lavendar ran to the door with Jessica in her arms (big Kudoo points to whoever remembers who Jessica is), and repeated a procedure similar to Hermiones, but this one included a big wet kiss for each of them from Jessica. Katie took her little sister out of Lavendars hands and hugged her, giving her little kisses on the mouth and making her giggle. Soon they were attacked, and hugged by all there siblings and cousins. The girls all gave them additional kisses too, lots of them. In fact Sara wouldn't get off of Jenny or Katie, they had to just kinda pull her off and hand her to her mother since after all she was a mommy's girl. They walked into the living room and discovered a huge cake waiting for them, that said 'welcome home katie and jenny'. They chowed down on the cake and chatted for hours. Then Harry sent the other kids away, saying he needed to talk to the two arrivals alone. Hermione insisted on coming with him, and so did Ron and Lavendar. He let them, since it really wasn't them that he was trying to keep any secrets from.

"Okay, as you know, I've called you two here to talk about something very serious". Harry then went on to explaining what Mcgonagall had explained to him. The girls had a weird expression on there faces. Probably a mix between happiness that they could destroy lucious malfoy and the curse, pressure to choose the people and anxiety to see if it worked. Harry said they'd be performing the curse after the break..so they had to make there decisions. They agreed too, and were dismissed. Several nights later, they sat on the balcony making lists of the qualifying people...

Chapter 26 The Lists

Jenny and Katie sat on the balcony, making lists of qualifying canidates, for the spell. On one side they had Katie, and the other Jenny, the lists looked something like this..(after much canceling, and crossing out, and elimination)

|Jenny |Katie | |Two trusted adult canidates: |Two trusted adult canidates: | |Hermione |Lavendar | |Harry |Ron | |Sirius |Sirius | |Lupin |Lupin | |3 kid blood realatives |3 bloood kid realitives | |candidates: |canidates: | |James |Lucy | |Lily |Kevin | |Caroline |Dana | |Two good friends canidates: |Two good friends canidates: | |Sandy |Sandy | |Julie |Julie | |Heidi |Heidi | |Susan (another Gryffindor girl) |Susan |

They were still very much baffled about the enemy. They couldn't think of an enemy each that they trusted, then it hit them! They could use Draco Malfoy for one of them...and Severus Snape for the other. So eventually it was decided. Jenny would have Harry and Sirius for her trusted adults and Katie would have Ron and Lupin. For the kid blood realitives, they'd take exactly who was on the list, for although the adults couldn't be realated to eachother, the kids could be. For the friends Jenny would have Sandy and Heidi and Katie would have Susan and Julie. They wrote down these results and gave them to Harry. Who in turn owled them to McGonagall, who sent out respective letters to those participents involved. The rest of the spring break passed by with a little anxiety but mostly just fun. When they went back to the school, the got ready to perform the spell.

Chapter 27 The Spell

A few days after Julie and Katie got back to school, they were called into Mcgonagalls chambers to do the spell. Each group of people had been given instructions, and were very determined to do it right. For if it was done right, it would cure Katie and Jenny of this spell as well as well as kill Lucious Malfoy. When they got inside, each participant of the procedure, had to give some blood. So Mcgonagall walked up to everyone with a small knife, and cut them on the hand, letting a few drops of blood drop into a vile. The kids were very squirmy when getting cut, but there fathers convinced them it was the right thing to do, and they did it out of love for Katie and Jenny. After that, everyone spit into the vile, that had the blood in it. Then they pored this mix of blood and spit into a big pot in the center, that already had 2 pints of steaming unicorn blood in it. Now Mcgonagall said a few words while waving her wand, and this was the signal for the adults to start chanting so Ron, Harry, Sirius and Lupin started chanting.. We are the trusted adults of the harmed, we love, charish and strengthen them both physically and emotionally. We would risk our lives to rid them of harm, so Avercadiva, Avercadiva, Avercadiva.

Then the kid blood realitives started there part...

We are the young blood realitives of the efected. Our love for them is pure, and is very unconditional. They are are family, and we want to rid them of harm emensily so Avercadiva, Avercadiva, Avercadiva.(they joined the adults chanting)

Then the good friends started there part.

We are the good friends of those charmed with evil. We are with them by choice, for no blood bonds us. Katie and Jenny aren't our blood realatives but we love them like sisters and do not wish them any harm at all, so Avercadiva, Avercadiva, Avercadiva (and so they joined the chanting)

Next Snape and Malfoy started there part.

We are the enemies of those infected. Although we may not agree on this one thing, I full-heartedly wish them no harm. For they are good, wholesome, pure people so Avercadiva, Avercadiva, Avercadiva (and they joined the chanting)

Everyone chanting now joined hands, and made a circle around Katie and Jenny so there part could be started.

We are the ones that have upon us this evil curse. We love the magical world too much to let it be harmed by evil, we love ourselves too much also, so Avercadiva, Avercadiva, Avercadiva..(they joined the chanting)

Lastly Mcgonagall mutered a few words over the pot of boiling enchanted potion. Out of the potion came the figure of Lucious Malfoy holding a blue glass ball. The ball exploded and then he did. The lights came back on, and Mcgonagall started screeming.

"We did it , we did it!!!!" Mcgonagall screamed with joy. Everyone started hoping up and down.

"You see the ball represented the spell and obviously that trader represented himself, they both exploded, symbolizing that it worked!" she said. There was a huge party at the school that evening and everyone went to bed feeling content...BRBR Chapter 28 Good-byes

*Katies point of view*

The rest of there school year past in a blur, and both of the girls did fine on there exit exams. So, when the last day of schoool came both fof the girls had very mixed feelings. They were happy to be getting home, but were also upset to be leaving hogwarts for it had definitely been an interesting year. Gryffindor had won the house cup, due to there excellent quidditch team. (oh, and sorry quidditch wasn't in this one, kinda un- realistic I know, but it'll be a kinda big part of the next one, so. I thought I'd leave it out).

Though Katie did notice that several parts of the quidditch team were 7th years and so next year several positions would be missing. She'd have to remember to ask her dad or Ron to teach her to play better, for possibly next year she could try out for the team. She was upstairs double checking that she had packed all of her stuff, and when she saw she had, she watched it disapear and magically be transported to the train. On the train ride home I felt a lot of lasts happening. The last time I'd giggle with Julie for a long time, the last time I'd talk to Sandy tell next year. The last time I'd see Heidi's curls bounce upon her shoulder for a while. Then I remembered something.

"Oh yeah, our parents said that if any of you would like to come stay this summer your welcome too. Dad mentioned something about a quidditch world cup. (no, I'm not trying to copy the end of book 3)." I said.

"Oh, that'd be great, I'll ask mom and Jeff" Heidi said.

"I'll be sure to ask my parents, that would be a lot of fun. Why do you call your dad by his first name Heidi?" Julie asked.

"He's not my dad, he's my stepdad, my real dad ran off with some lady when I was 5" she said with anger in her voice. "My step-dad arrived just recently and I'm worried he'll do the same thing, abandon us.even if he doesn't, I'm not calling him dad, my mom respects that" Heidi said, tears rolling down her cheek. Julie who was sitting next to her, put her arm around her, and comforted her. I noticed this, it reminded me of my cousin, always comforting people. I smiled at Jenny.

"Reminds me of us" I said quietly, she nodded. Just then the train pulled to a stop. We all got our trunks, and walked out through the barrier. Harry was waiting for us there.

"Daddy!" I screamed running into his arms. Jenny followed.

"Hello Uncle Harry" she said. Heidi walked up to them, with Julie by her side, and Sandy right behind them.

"Hello, I'm Heidi, this is Julie and Sandy" she said pointing to her friends "we share a dormitory with your daughter and Jenny" Heidi explained.

"Oh, hello Heidi, Julie, Sandy" he said nodding to each of them. He then explained the thing about coming to stay that I had already explained and then with one last hug for both Jenny and me, they walked off to there parents.

"C'mon girls" Harry said, helping them load there trunks into the car. "Let's go home!". With that we got into the car and drove off, back to our home, and we knew that next year held many adventures waiting to happen.

That's all folks!!! I actually have started a sequel but quite frankly I need a reason to continue with it. REVIEW!!!! And let me know if you want a sequel. It's called Harry Potter and the Puzzling Prophesy. I know I sucked about updating this story but I'll be better, I promise..tata for now.

Luv,
