Chapter 23
Mental He Is
Hogwarts
Quidditch Pitch
The Past
Harry stops at the entrance to the Pitch and leans up against the wall as he watches the scene before him as a smile crosses his face as he remembers just how stubborn his family is. After a few moments of watching them he stands up straight and walks onto the Pitch and walks towards the ecstatic group. Ginny notices him and smiles happily in his direction. "You lot are very stubborn you know," he calls to them as he gets closer to them.
"We may be stubborn," Ron counters with a smile as he turns around to face Harry. "But you are impossible," he teases him.
Harry grins evilly, "Like I said before, why, can't we all just get along," he repeats.
"Oh but we are," Lavender says smiling so wide it has to hurt.
"Oh really," Harry says trying to act disbelievingly.
"We're getting married," Ginny says as she enfolds Harry in a hug that rivals her mothers.
"All of you," Harry asks knowing they need to tell him rather than him say he seen.
"Yep," Ron says proudly.
"Congratulations," Harry says honestly and proudly to his family as a smile graces his face for a moment.
"Now are you going to tell us why you did this," Neville asks as he puts his arms around Ginny's waste as Ginny leans back into the embrace happy to be here once again.
Harry smiles and looks pointedly at Neville, "I do believe you have just answered your own question there," he says as turns around. "oh," he stops turning to face their surprised faces, "you are now free to leave if you wish," he informs them as he turns around once again and walks off the Pitch and out of sight of the group.
"He's mental, I tell you," Ron says with a large smile on his face as he too wraps his arms around Lavender as the four of them watch their brother walk back to the castle. "Totally mental," he says with awe and everyone there knows it to be love as well.
"Come on Ron," Ginny says appalled by his words, "He is not mental," she defends Harry.
"Ginny dear," Neville says from behind her, "For Ron, Hermione and Harry it is a compliment," he informs her knowingly.
Ginny looks at Neville in shock and then at her brother, "we call Dumbledore mental," Ron agrees with Neville, "and you know how the both of trust and respect him, Harry more than I," he tells her seeing her relax.
"Truth," she asks.
"Truth," he answers with a nod.
A/N: I have been able to do more chapters this time. Well, had to celebrate Halloween somehow. So here it is two chapters for the day of Wizards, Witches, Ghosts, Vampires, and people like you and me. Here's to the wonderful world of Harry Potter. Thanks again. Jade.
Ears91: Thank you for staying with me and this story. It means a lot.
Ksman: I do apologize, I can't give away the ending and say if it is or isn't a happy or sad one. But I hope you understand why, ('cause I don't even know). Thank you for your support on this story and I hope you like these two (short yes) chapters. As for how Harry saved Snape, I must confess, I don't even know. It should more than likely be its own story. I would gladly take any suggestions you have.
SiriuslyObsessed: Thank you for your suggestion, I hadn't really thought it. Now I will. Thank you for your kind review. I am glad you like the house; I had feared no one would. As for Hermione's parents, they just had to be there. Even from the beginning, I tried not to write them in, but it was lacking. Then I realized who it was lacking, the Grangers. Besides someone needed to be there just for Hermione, who better than her parents, right? Thanks again.
MissLexiRe: Thank you, I am pleased you found it and that you liked it. I can only hope to keep the story going to meet the satisfaction of you (the reader) and everyone else. Thanks again.
Rachel A. Prongs: Him being a matchmaker isn't really a secret. It's just well hidden, like most everything else. I can't tell you one way or another if Harry is alive or not, but I can tell you (HINT you) about Hagrid's journey. A trail of bread crumbs is located and followed, a meeting of Muggle and Giant, a pair of drum sticks, (***cough***drum, *clears throat* STICKS) many towns, and a, I can't say anymore. As for how he is as a commander, I smell another memory coming, okay that's all I can tell you. Nope, you can't get anymore outa me, uh hu, no way, oh alright, we also learn how, and what Mrs. Weasley's reaction to his receiving command, but her reaction to learning her children and husband are part of the Magical Military. Now that's all, I swear... (lol). Thanks always.
The Sweetest Things: I have always thought about what really constitutes as family. I mean mine is lacking greatly in that department. So, I am very pleased this idea was met with, well, approval. Thanks again.
TheWraith1: At first the lack of reviews was very difficult, but then I realized something. If just one person likes this story then it is worth continuing. And continue it I have and will. I can't really say if Harry is alive or not, all I can say is the Ministry of Magic believes him to be, but the story neither proves nor disproves this theory. In truth, I don't know myself. I would like to thank you for your words and your review it means a great deal to me. Thanks again, Jade.
