Chapter 20
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. They are the property of JK Rowling.
A/N: Ok, fair warning to all my readers that when college starts at the end of September, I will have little time to update and will most likely only be able to update once a week. I also have not been able to decide if I wanted to end this story in a way that sets up for a sequel. I haven't decided if I even want to write a sequel to this yet. I finally decided on a title for my Harry/Fleur fic, which will be called "Forbidden Love." I did promise that I would also write the AU to my story where Laura doesn't die and it becomes a Harry/Laura fic. I will do that also but I'm not sure in what order I want to do things. I don't think I want to work on multiple fics at once or I am going to confuse myself and or find that I don't have enough time to do both. If anyone out there has any suggestions, I would love to hear from you. This is how things look as of now:
Until The End of Time (Finish by the time school starts. HP/CC fic) Harry/Laura AU to Until The End of Time (I have not decided on a title yet) Forbidden Love (Harry/Fleur fic taking place during his 7th Year at Hogwarts) Sequel to "Until The End of Time" (HP/CC fic)

TheLaguna: Well he's not dead yet.
Xirleb70: Stunned? In a good way?
PeZ-yUaN: I'm not a big fan of horror movies. I'm more a hopeless romantic, which is why I have a problem keeping a girlfriend. (
glitterfairyxoxo: It's updated, all good now.
Matrix Kai: I'm glad you like it. This ending could be a few chapters long.
kensai2: It's true that there is nothing worse than a woman scorned. I know by experience. Oh boy was she a vengeful one. Anyways Cho would not be happy if anyone attacked Harry but I thought this would make it a better twist than just someone trying to kill him.
I Love Cho: Yep and its about to get messier. In my story Cho wasn't Harry's first love but is his true love. Amanda was his first love and that's where he learned to love in the first place.
ruhnas: I'm glad you like it.
hippyman69: Amanda is one pissed off woman. You never mess with woman that are pissed off because they are the most dangerous kind.
Stephie: Cho was loyal to him for all the years he was gone, I don't think she is about to give him up this easily. Yes Amanda is kinda crazy and I haven't decided if she is going to die yet.
indigal: Read on cause here it is.
CaSSioPeial2: More messes to come.
Sabrina-05: Would you like me to write an extra short fic that expands into details about Harry/Mandy?

The Daily Prophet
The famous boy who lived went missing almost four and a half years ago. After the second fall of the Dark Lord he vanished one night with out a trace. No one knew where he went or if he was even alive. Recently however a muggle by the name of James Potter, a member of the United States Air Force, has gone missing from a government mission along with a fellow officer. When the muggle news displayed a picture of the young Lieutenant, this reporter could not help but see the resemblance between the two. It may be true that the Lieutenant does not have the scar Harry Potter became famous for but could it be possible that it was removed to fool the public? James being his first name was also the name of Harry Potter's father. The two also share the last name 'Potter', which perhaps makes them related if not directly linked to one another? Perhaps Harry Potter has been living a muggle life in the United States for many years under a new name. This reporter believes the two are one in the same.

"Damn!" Yelled Mrs. Chang. "Now the whole world knows about him."
"What's wrong dear?" Asked Mr. Chang.
"Take a look at this," replied Mrs. Chang in an angry tone.
"Well, they would have found out about his return sooner or later. I would have preferred later though. I can't send my XO anywhere with people pointing at him all the time."
"That's not our biggest problem right now dear."
"Yes I know. I just hope we find him soon."
************************************************************************
"Miss Chang! Miss Chang!" Cho was awoken from her sleep by a strange voice. At first she thought it was a dream, but the voice was repetitive and loud. Finally she rubbed her eyes to see two figures standing in her bedroom. One was much shorter than the other and by the looks of it, had pointy ears.
"Cho! You're awake!" Valerie stood over Cho who was very tired and sleepy.
"What's going on?" Asked Cho who was curious as to why they were in her bedroom.
"Well, I don't know if you remember the house elf Dobby from Hogwarts, but he has some important information about Harry." This instantly caught her attention.
"What do you know about Harry?" Asked Cho who was looking directly at Dobby.
"Dobby is sorry to disturb Miss Chang. Dobby thought Miss Chang would like to know where Harry Potter is." The house elf looked quite nervous but was willing to do anything to help save Harry Potter.
"Yes, well what do you know?" Asked Cho impatiently.
"Dobby knows that Harry Potter is at Malfoy Manor. Harry Potter is being kept inside the dungeons which is like a maze and is almost impossible to find your way in and out unless you know where you are going."
"How did you come across this information Dobby?"
"Dobby heard it from a house elf who works for Mrs. Malfoy. Dobby still has many friends and family there."
"Thank you Dobby" screamed Cho excitedly as she hugged him. He was clearly surprised as no witch or wizard had ever hugged him before.
"Dobby must be going back to work now." With that he disappeared with out a trace. Cho suddenly stood up and quickly went through her closet.
"What are you doing Cho?" Asked Valerie.
"Saving Harry," replied Cho coolly.
************************************************************************
"Get in position," whispered Harry. Jeff nodded and stood next to the cell door where if one were to look into the window, one would not be able to see him. Harry quickly turned into his owl form and hid in a dark corner by the door waiting for his chance to escape. A house elf opened the cell door to deliver their daily ration of food but was surprised at not seeing anyone in the cell. Suddenly a snow-white owl flew from the cell and grabbed the two wands on the table on its way out. Having distracted the elf; Jeff quickly wrapped a shirt around its head blinding it momentarily while Harry turned back to his human form and stunned it.
"Well done Potter," came the voice of Amanda Malfoy from behind them. She was standing there with two of her cronies who were still hooded. "You managed to take out a whole house elf between the two of you," she said in a sarcastic tone.
"Yeah and we're about to take you down," replied Jeff.
"And what makes your situation any different now than it was before?"
"Because we have our wands," replied Jeff.
"Correction, you have two fake wands that look like yours." As she said those words the wands Harry and Jeff were holding turned into snakes and tried to bite them. They both quickly tossed it aside and backed away. "These are your wands," said Amanda as she twirled two wands between her fingers.
"You said you would give us a fair shot at escaping," said Harry.
"Oh I will," replied Amanda coolly with a grin. "But not before our good friend Cho Chang joins us. It was rude for you not to introduce us Harry, but I'm sure there will be a proper introduction when she arrives."
"She knows I'm here?"
"Yes, I let it 'slip' to one of my house elves. He in turn will get the news to your good friend Dobby I'm sure. They are after all cousins."
"What do you want with her?"
"I'm going to make her suffer, just as she had caused me to suffer."
"No! It was me, not her! Just leave her out of this."
"I'm afraid I can't do that Harry. You see, she is like a sore spot that just won't go away."
"You'll never get away with this!"
"Watch me. Crabbe! Goyle! Take them back to their prison cell and chain them to the wall this time. The two figures behind her stepped forward and did as they were told. Pretty soon Harry was back right where he started, except this time he was chained to the wall.
"Don't worry my love, soon we can be together forever," said Amanda. She grabbed the back of his head and brought him into a hard forceful kiss. Harry struggled to pull away but it was no use. "Did you like that?"
"Like I like poison," replied Harry who was disgusted.
"I think you enjoyed that," said Amanda. She rubbed a hand against his cheek and ran it through his hair. "Those same green eyes." she whispered to herself. Quickly she turned around and left followed by Crabbe and Goyle who locked the door behind her and dragged the stunned house elf out.
"That is one crazy bitch," said Jeff as soon as they were alone.
************************************************************************
"This is crazy," said Valerie as Cho was getting dressed. "You don't even have a plan!"
"I'll think of something," replied Cho.
"Let's not rush into things here," said Valerie.
"Look, Harry is out there and could die any second. I love him and I'm going after him. He would do the same thing for me."
"What are you going to do when you get there? It's not like you can just knock on the doors and say 'I know you have Harry in there so bring him on out.' They could just deny everything."
"Well I've got to do something don't I?"
"Well, if you insist on being stubborn then I'm not going to let you go alone. I'm coming too."
"Then so are we," came a voice from Cho's bedroom door. "You didn't think we'd let you go on a rescue mission with out Hermione and I now did you," said Ron. Jennifer elbowed him in the ribs. "Oh and the wife."
"The wife!" Exclaimed Jennifer playfully.
"I was kidding," replied Ron. "But this is some serious business if we're going to break into Malfoy Manor.
"That place is huge and I heard the dungeon is like a maze," said Hermione.
"Are you sure you guys want to come?" Asked Cho.
"Positive," replied Hermione.
"You are going to need a guide," said Dobby who appeared out of nowhere. "Dobby used to work for the Malfoy's. Dobby knows the way through the house and dungeons."
"Very well," said Ron. "We need a plan."

"Have you found the spell Albus?" Asked McGonagall who was leaning over his shoulders.
"Yes Minerva," replied Dumbledore. "These books have been locked away for centuries."
"Do they tell you how to use the spell?"
"Yes, the ceremony and words of incantation are all in these books. I have here the books of Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw, but no Slytherien. Each book describes the ritual on how it's performed with detail." McGonagall was surprised by this.
"Is it possible that." But before she could finish Dumbledore interrupted.
"Yes it is."
"So what now?"
"Gather up Sirius, Remus, Severeus and the rest of them. We're going to have to do guard duty."

"What do you want Parkinson? This had better be important."
"Yes mistress," replied Pansy who was bowing down to Amanda. She was groveling at the floor not daring to look at her mistress in the face. "I thought you should know there are intruders on the property."
"I already know," replied Amanda who was itching to raise her wand against Pansy. Pansy suddenly became fearful for her life.
"Forgive me mistress," said Pansy who suddenly bowed just a little lower. Amanda debated with herself on what to do.
"See to it that they reach Potter's cell successfully."
"But mistress."
"Are you questioning me?" Amanda suddenly became very angry and her eyes became much darker.
"No mistress, forgive me."
"Good, now go before I change my mind."
"Yes mistress."
"Pansy, one more thing I forgot to mention." Amanda clutched onto her wand a little more tightly as she watched Pansy shake in fright.
"Yes mistress?" She eyed Amanda's hand as it held a tighter grip around the wand. She knew exactly what was coming but did not dare run away.
"Don't ever waste my time again! Crucio!" Pansy screamed in pain as the effects of the Crutatious Curse coursed through her body. She quickly fell to the floor twitching and screaming until Amanda became annoyed by all the noise and lifted the curse. "Get out of my sight!"
"Yes mistress," replied Pansy who was recovering from the curse. She quickly crawled on her hands and knees. "You are too kind mistress." Slowly she crawled out of the room but before she left Amanda gave one last order.
"Bring Weasley to me immediately! He is late in reporting into me."
