The Dark Lord has been vanquished!

On October 31st, Halloween, Lord Thingy and his army attacked Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.  The school was in the middle of a Quidditch match, says Colin Creevey, one of the students who fought in the battle, when students saw many figures in black cloaks approaching.  The students fled inside, except for the 6th and 7th years, who stayed to fight alongside the Professors of the school.  They fought bravely.  Six students died, about 10 Death Eaters are also dead, the rest has been caught by Aurors.

Finally, Harry Potter, the Boy-Who-Lived, conquered You-Know-Who.  Nobody knows exactly how he did it.  "You-Know-Who shot a Killing Curse at him, but instead it rebounded and hit Snake-Face.  Then Harry stood very still for a few minutes, it looked like he was in a trance!" says Hannah Abbot, who was nearby. 

We were not able to question Mr. Potter or any of his close friends, they disappeared into the school with the teachers, who requested we leave them alone..  We will try to interview Mr. Potter when he is ready.

A special ceremony will be held for Seamus Finnigan, Holly Cook, Everard Green, Carolin Medley, Dirk Branson and Justin Finch-Fletchley, who were the ones who fought so bravely and who we lost in the battle.  It will be held tomorrow, November 2nd, at Hogsmeade cemetery.

Harry sighed and put down the Daily Prophet.

He was sitting in the common room, with Ginny cuddled up next to him.

 Hermione and Ron were playing Muggle chess, because Hermione found Wizard Chess 'totally barbaric!'

Alex was with Melanie, who was in the hospital wing with some minor injuries.

They looked at him as he sighed and threw down the newspaper.

"What is it?" asked Hermione.  "It's not Rita, is it?"

Harry managed a smile.

"No, no, it's not that…"

Ginny lifted her head and looked into his eyes.

"What is it then?  Tom is gone!  Isn't this what you've always wanted?" she asked.

"You were and are the most important thing in my life.  Not murdering Voldemort." He responded.

She smiled.

"Come on, Mr. Potter, I want to show you something." She said, taking his hand and standing up.

Ron began to protest but Hermione gave him a silencing look.  He shrugged, but his ears went very red as Ginny and Harry left he common room.

"What is it you want to show me?" asked Harry, grinning.

Ginny gave him a mysterious look and ushered him into the library.  She went to one of the shelved and took out a slender book, which looked very old.

"I found some information." She said simply, opening the book to a certain page and giving it to him.

He took it and read:

Custodiae

This name comes from Latin, and it means 'guards'.  These objects, custodiae, have a very special property which is unknown to many of us.  They are made by an ancient spell, which is put onto 2 objects, most commonly rings or necklaces.  The objects protect both bearers from harm.  However, both bearers must have a bond between them, more specifically, they have to love each other.  The magic in the objects feed off of these emotions, the stronger the love, the stronger the protection.  These custodiae mostly protect bearers from burns, cuts, and small spells.  This is a piece of old magic which is seldom used today.

Harry's eyes widened as he read.

"Wow." He said.

"Yeah, I know." Answered Ginny.

"This explains a lot." He said, and he laid the book down and took Ginny's hands in his.

"Our love must be really strong then, sweety." He whispered, holding her.

He felt her heartbeat increasing as he looked into her eyes.

Their lips locked together, and the kiss become more passionate; Ginny's hands were in Harry's hair, Harry's hands started traveling a little downward…

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?  IN MY LIBRARY?!" shrieked Madam Pince.

They broke their kiss immediately and turned a deep red, looking at their feet.

"Sorry." They muttered.

Madam Pince glared at them and picked up the book.

They turned around and hurried out of the library.

As they were walking back to the common room, Harry felt as though he should say something.

"Ginny, I love you."

Ginny was startled by the randomness, but then she smiled.

"I love you more then anything in the world, Harry."
