the closing story. It wraps it all together.
Alright now I'm rambling so on with the story...enjoy, and review.
Chapter 39: Sleep Now And Forever
The Seventh years all walked up the front stairs towards the Great Hall. They all hurried into the Great Hall, all of them chattering up a storm and being as loud as they possibly could be. Everyone was talking bout the memories of all their past years at Hogwarts, or talking about what they were going to do after they graduated.
All the students looked like a massive herd of Hogwarts students, but as soon as people got far enough into the Great Hall they all split off to their own separate tables. Slytherins one way, Gryffindors another, Hufflepuffs to one part, and Ravenclaws to another part. Everyone took their seat at their house tables and continued their chatter.
Oliver sat down at the Gryffindor table and looked around. All the seventh years were in the Great Hall and chatting up storms as they waited for Dumbledore to come announce that they were officially graduated.
Oliver tried to looked over the tops of other students heads and he watched the door.
"Thirty minutes to go," Angelina nudged Oliver with a smile, making Oliver jump a little.
Oliver returned the smile but his voice was soft, "Yeah."
Angelina watched Oliver look around, "What are you doing?"
Oliver ignored her as he continued to look. 'Come on...' He thought ass he frantically looked around.
"Hello?" Angelina waved her hand in front of Oliver's face, "Earth to Oliver Wood."
"What?" Oliver asked though he continued to look.
"What are you doing?" She asked, "Besides looking like a fool."
"It's it obvious?" Fred sat down next to Angelina.
She rolled her eyes, "If it was obvious I wouldn't have asked, Fred."
George sat across from Fred and Angelina, "He's looking for Chanse."
Angelina looked over at Oliver who was still frantically looking around. She nudged Oliver again and softly smiled, "She'll be here."
Oliver took a deep breath in, "I hope so."
Fred and George both laughed. "Don't worry..." Fred started.
"She always finds away..." George began.
"To make a big entrance," Fred finished and then both the twins laughed.
Hailey flew down from the Astronomy Tower, as quick as possible, and flew above all the Seventh years. She flew through the large wooden door of the Great Hall and floated above everyone. She looked around for Oliver but she couldn't find him. She didn't know where he was because all the students in there looked the same because they all were wearing the same robes.
"Where is he?" She whispered as she searched over the tops of all the student's heads.
Hailey was beginning to think her search for Oliver wasn't going anywhere, and it sure wasn't going anywhere fast.
"Can I help you?" a voice asked form behind.
Hailey turned around to find Sir Nicholas de Mimsey-Porpington, Nearly- Headless Nick, floating behind her. He readjusted his head so it fit on right. "Oh thank Merlin it's you Nick." Hailey gave him a hug.
"Why Hailey I didn't recognize you. Looking better then ever," He winked.
"Thank you Nick, but I need your help right now." Hailey looked around some more, hoping that she'd be able to spot Oliver.
"With what?" Nearly-Headless Nick watched Hailey look around and couldn't help but olook around also. "What are you looking for?"
"Not what, but who." She continued to look around.
"Fine then...Who are you looking for?"
"I need to find Oliver Wood and I need to find him as soon as possible." Her eyes were filled with worry.
Nick quickly turned from friendly to worried. "Why?"
"I don't have time to explain it. Just help me find him." Hailey demanded as she continued to look over the students.
"Alright. I'm the house ghost of his house."
"A Gryffindor." Hailey nodded as her and Nick flew over to the Gryffindor table and started to look over the student.
"I don't know exactly where he sits." Nick sighed as he continued to help Hailey in trying to find Oliver. Hailey continued to look the students over, "Well we need to find him as fast as we can." It was more of a plea then a comment.
"Over there." Nick said loudly.
Hailey looked over where Nick was pointing and saw that Oliver was chatting with some fellow Gryffindors. She quickly flew over to him and landed behind him. To everyone else Hailey was nothing. She couldn't be heard or seen. "Oliver, Chanse needs your help!" She shouted but Oliver didn't even seem to hear him.
"Hailey you know he can't see you let alone hear you."
Hailey sighed in frustration, "Come on!"
"Hailey!" Nick shouted at her.
"How am I supposed to get him?" Hailey sighed in frustration at Nick.
"Concentrate on him."
Hailey closed her eyes and whispered, "Oliver."
Nothing.
Hailey opened her eyes and looked at him, "Damnit." She turned to Nick, "It didn't work."
"Try using your actions more then your words." He whispered.
"Alright." Hailey closed her eyes and concentrated on the thought of connecting with Oliver. She slowly ran her fingertips up Oliver's spine, which sent an icy cold shiver up him.
"You alright Oliver?" Angelina raised an eyebrow at him quickly sitting up completely straight.
"Um," Oliver looked around debating if it meant something or not. "I'm fine. Just excited to graduate, I guess." He shrugged.
"Damnit," Hailey cursed and then she ran her fingertips back up Oliver's spine once again. "Come on. Go save Chanse."
This time Oliver stood up. "Oliver?" Angelina asked a little more worried.
Oliver looked back at Angelina, "I'll be right back."
Oliver quickly walked down the aisle of seated students towards the exit of the Great Hall with Hailey floating behind him. A couple of Gryffindors looked over their shoulders at Oliver, but most of the students didn't even give Oliver a second glance. He kept his eyes on the large doors and when he got to them he looked back at everyone. Though he had left it didn't seem to change anything.
He pushed open the large wooden doors of the Great Hall, and stepped outside. He turned around and closed the giant doors. He turned back around and stopped. He looked around, "What now?" He whispered to, what he thought was himself, as he looked at all the staircases on all sides of him, and he saw the courtyard from afar.
Hailey floated up next to him and whispered softly in his ear, "Chanse."
Oliver still looked around, and finally sighed in defeat in figuring out the feeling. "Maybe it was just a shiver..."
NO!" Hailey yelled at him, "Are you really that dense?!" She cursed under her breath and then she floated behind Oliver, "Go forward!" She shouted, though he couldn't hear her. She pushed as hard as she possibly could, with her hands on his back, but they just went right through him, she flew forward and then stopped. "Chanse. Go find her. Now!" She shouted as she was standing right in front of Oliver. She was up in his face.
Oliver grew as stiff as a board, "There it is again." He whispered, "But it was different." He looked around for someone.
"Yes! Go forward!" Hailey was floating circles around him, yelling, hoping that he might hear her. "Chanse is going to die! Find her! Go forward at least!" She sighed, "At least do something besides just standing there or going back inside."
Oliver loosened up a bit and looked around. His eyes seemed to lock on something in the courtyard. He squinted his eyes, hoping to help him better see the object. "What's that?" He took a step towards the courtyard.
"Yes! Forward! Good idea! Very good!" Hailey nodded as she floated behind him, trying to urge him towards Chanse, or at least farther forward.
Oliver slowly walked down the front stairs, from the Great Hall, towards the courtyard. He wined down the stairs, and every chance he had to look at the object he did. He stopped on the last stair of the large staircase from the Great Hall. "What the..." He whispered as he stared at the tiny black blob on the ground.
"Stop stopping!" Hailey yelled at him in frustration. "You don't have time for these stupid, pointless stops." She sighed, "Chanse will die. Don't you understand that?!" She sighed and placed her ghostly hand on her forehead, "Merlin I wish you could understand what I was saying. It sure would make things a lot easier."
Oliver walked forward some more and saw the black blob slowly take shape. It was a graduation hat. "Why would a graduation hat be out here? Or even on the ground?"
"Because it's Chanse's!" Hailey flew up to Oliver's side and yelled again. "Come on. Find her...please..." She pleaded.
Oliver slowly bent down and picked it up. He ran his fingers over the hat and got a strange eerie feeling as he ran his fingers over the fabric. He looked around to see if anyone was outside looking for his or her hat...there was no one.
He was about to drop it back down but something made him look up. He saw someone at the top of the Astronomy Tower but he couldn't make out who it was. "Isn't everyone supposed to be packing to go home if they're not Seventh years?"
"It's Chanse!" Hailey shouted. "See the hat. Put two and two together. For the love of Merlin!" She sighed in frustration.
Oliver looked down at the hat, in his hands, and then back up at the person. "Well it's a Seventh year." Oliver thought aloud.
"Yeah. It's Chanse!" Hailey yelled. "This is what I've been trying to tell you, but you won't listen." And then Hailey remembered that he couldn't hear her. "Damn..."
Oliver stared up at the person, 'They're probably just saying their last goodbye to Hogwarts before their officially graduated.' He thought. "They'll come inside before we graduate," Oliver smiled as set the hat back on the ground and started to head back inside.
"NO!" Hailey screamed as she stood in front of Oliver, with her arms spread wide, as if to stop him...Oliver walked right through her.
"Damnit," Hailey cursed as she flew behind Oliver and ran her fingertips up his back again.
Oliver froze in the middle of his walk and took a deep breath in, 'That feeling,' Oliver thought as he stopped.
"Go get Chanse right now!" Hailey screamed, "Go save my daughter, Oliver!"
Oliver stayed where he was, 'Why do I keep feeling this?' he thought.
Hailey landed on the ground and cried out in one last finally plea at Oliver. "Go save the woman you love."
Oliver let out his breath and slowly turned around.
Hailey looked up in disbelief, 'He knows.' She thought as she watched Oliver stare up at the Astronomy Tower.
He looked up at the top of the tower. "Chanse," He whispered as he stared up at the person.
"Thank you," she whispered with a soft smiled. She watched as Oliver took off running towards the Astronomy Tower. "Go," Hailey whispered.
Oliver reached down and grabbed the hat off the ground as he continued to run towards the Astronomy Tower. He ran across the courtyard and made it over to the Astronomy Tower. He saw a small star carved into a stone. "What the?"
By this time Hailey had flown over to Oliver, "Touch it." She whispered in his ear. "It's a Portkey...Go on. Touch it."
Oliver slowly lifted his hand up to the star and ran his fingers over the cold stone. As soon as his fingers touched the stone he was surrounded by a thing of heat and in a flash he was gone from the bottom of the Astronomy Tower.
He opened his eyes and looked around. Oliver found himself looking out across a large dark room. He looked to his left and then to his right. He had never been to the Astronomy Tower when there wasn't class. It was peaceful.
He looked around some more and then noticed another stone with the same marking as the one he touched. "I thought so...a Portkey." He whispered.
Hailey phased through the floor and next to Oliver, "I told you to touch it." She smirked.
Oliver looked up at the tall ceiling and saw the rafters. He had never noticed how tall the ceiling was.
"Over there." Hailey whispered as she pointed to someone standing up by the stonewall railing of the Astronomy Tower. They were dressed in a graduation robe, and it was obviously a girl. Her hair was slightly swaying in the wind as she was looking out across Hogwarts.
Oliver slowly walked across the dark room and stood under an archway, just a couple feet from the person. "Chanse?" He whispered, to afraid that it wouldn't be her, but at the same time he was afraid it was her.
In the time that Chanse had healed she seemed to remember everything and everyone but Oliver. Oliver blamed himself. He thought that maybe since he had hurt her so bad that when she was given the chance to forget her life, she wanted to forget that whole thing...Including Oliver.
Chanse slowly turned around and she had tears streaming down her face, "Oliver..." She whispered.
"What are you doing up here?" He took a step forward. 'She remembers me?' He asked himself in confusion.
Chanse let out a long quivering breath, "I'm sorry Oliver..."
Chanse's eyes rolled back into her head and her body grew limp. Her fingers slowly ran off the stonewall as her body slowly fell down, on it's side, on the ground. It was as if Oliver was watching her fall in slow motion. It was as if his heart shattered slowly and fell apart as she fell.
"My baby," Hailey gasped as she watched Chanse fall. She wanted to run to her daughter's side but she knew that it was Oliver's turn to fix everything. To make everything right.
Chanse hit the ground with a thud as she laid on her side with her eyes closed.
"Chanse!" Oliver shouted as he ran over to her and scooped he up in his arms. "Please Chanse..." He pleaded.
Chanse's green eyes softly fluttered open to look at Oliver's sad face, "Oliver," she whispered.
Oliver looked down at her and let out a quivering breath, "Chanse," he sniffed his nose, though there were no tears running down his cheeks, but they were in his eyes. "You...you remember me?" He asked in a gasp.
Tears rolled down from the corner's of Chanse's eyes down her cheeks as she smiled. "I do. Yeah," she smiled as she quivered. She let out a gasping breath. "I remember it all. Everything."
Oliver let out a happy breathe, "Everything?" He asked.
Chanse nodded, "Everything." She whispered with a soft smile, "I remember everything...Blaise giving us shit, Voldemort fighting us in the woods...and I remember it all." She sighed, "And I can't believe I forgot."
Oliver let out a gasp and held Chanse close, "You remember." He was so relieved. It was the first time Chanse had remembered everything about her and Oliver since she had her fight with Voldemort.
Chanse held onto Oliver's cloak, "I do...I also remember that I'm in love with you."
Oliver pulled away from Chanse and looked down at her. "You...you love me?" He gasped.
Chanse smiled up at him and placed her hand on the side of Oliver's face. "Yeah." She whispered.
Oliver smiled down at Chanse and tears began to roll down his cheek in happiness.
The grandfather clock struck midnight and Oliver looked over at it. He looked quickly back at Chanse as he felt her hand slide down off his cheek. "Chanse?"
Chanse's body went limp on Oliver's lap and she just laid there.
"Chanse?" Oliver whispered, "Chanse?!" He shouted. "CHANSE?!" He screamed as silent tears streamed down his cheek. "Please Chanse..."
Hailey slowly flew over towards Oliver and Chanse. "Oh Merlin..." She whispered as she came into complete view of Chanse's limp body.
"Please Chanse...please..." Oliver pleaded.
"No," Hailey gasped. "She's gone."
Oliver's tears ran faster down his cheeks as he held Chanse closer to him. "No Chanse! You can't!" He screamed. "You can't leave me."
Hailey cautiously flew over to Oliver. She knelt next to him and placed an arm around his shoulder. She knew he couldn't hear her or barely feel her, but she didn't know what else to do. "She's gone." She whispered to Oliver.
"No. No! NO!" Oliver screamed, as his tears didn't seem to stop coming.
Hailey closed her eyes as Oliver screamed. She opened her eyes and placed her ghostly hand on Chanse's face and whispered, "Sleep now and forever my sweetheart, my love...my daughter." She closed eyes slowly and a single ghostly tear ran down her face and landed on the ground.
Alright now I'm rambling so on with the story...enjoy, and review.
