Part XI – The Interview

An Interview with Harry Potter

By: Clarice Cravitz, reporter for Witch Weekly

Well my readers, at long last the ever silent Harry Potter has finally given us our long awaited interview concerning life, death and was it all worth it.

CC: Now Mr. Potter, what is it that your celebrating here today?

HP: Well you see, its been 100 years since to the day it happened, so we've all gathered together to celebrate the event.

CC: I see. Are you excited about it? 100 years is a long time and it is a mile stone anniversary you know. A whole century since the even took place.

HP: (Laughing) Well I guess it is important, but these days it seems like old hat. Something I've long since gotten used to.

CC: How was it in the beginning?

HP: It was very hard on me then, I refused to let myself understand what had happened and kept looking around waiting to wake up and it would all be a horrible dream. Eventually I came around and things settled down for me. I used to like to visit with friends and family in the beginning also. Sort of get my bearings and it helped to see them adjusting, it helped me.

CC: Why did you stay on at Hogwarts? Surely there would have been other things out there for you?

HP: I don't know, I guess it's because Hogwarts was always a home to me from the moment I first laid eyes on it, I knew I was home. Where else would I be? Everything that was good happened in this castle. I can't imagine wanting to be anywhere else.

CC: Is there anyone who you wished you could see today but couldn't?

HP: Well, I would have loved to have seen Albus Dumbledore, but as you know, he passed on already and of course, my two best friends, Ron and Hermione. They aren't here yet, they said they would be late, so that's why I accepted this interview, had to wait for them to show up.

(Harry flashes a brilliant smile at me when he said that, he is such a flirt)

CC: Is there anything, during your life time, you would have liked to have differently?

HP: Hmm? I would have played more Quidditch while I was still able to. I love that game; I never miss a match, especially when Gryffindor plays.

CC: If you could have played professional Quidditch, which team would you have tried out for?

HP: Probably either Puddlemier United or the Chudley Cannons.

At this point in the interview, Harry's two best friends have arrived and he is anxious to join them.

CC: One more question then Mr. Potter?

HP: All right, I'm a fair man.

CC: The day you died after killing You-Know-Who, why didn't you move on to be with your loved ones? It's a well established axiom that you wanted to see them again.

HP: You know, I've asked myself that over and over, and I have no idea why I'm a ghost. I've tried to move on, but somehow can't quite make it. Maybe someday I'll succeed.

Well good friends that wraps up this interview with the renowned ghost of Harry Potter on the event of his 100th Death Day Celebration here at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Author's Note: To everyone who reviewed, thanks again...

Wiccan PussyKat wrote Dude, who frequently do you update? I was startled when I saw all these new chapters tonight. In a good way, though. Even if I didn't get a review-response :( *Sniff* Loved the twist at the end of chappie.7, it was great, tragic and yet strangely fitting. Ah, I was waiting for you to get to comic-deaths, like your south park spoof, and chapter 10, too, in a sad kind of way. If that makes any sense. It was sad when Hermione smothered him, but the last line was funny.

Answer - I post pretty quickly, but usually whenever the mood strikes me. As for the contect of each story it's not on any schedule, I just write them as the story comes to me.

Era Yachi wrote Sure, okay...the one where Harry died of snake poisoning was quite a shock, and definitely and original Voldemorte death...thing. Muchos bien! Of course, then there was that creepy chapter after that...should've warned me, man. Nothin' wrong with slash, ya? But...*shudders* Draco. It's almost as bad as Snape/Hermione. Oh well, it was ANOTHER depressing chapter. Please? Pretty please? Write a sweet, happy ending? Just one more? *gives puppy eyes*

Answer - No one liked the Safe Zone it seems. Oh well, it was just an idea. :)

Wiccan PussyKat wrote *Sees title, "The Death of Harry Potter". Is intrigued by summary, and clicks to see more. Is consequently hooked*.

Hiya. First, I think this fic is really cool. All these different deaths of Harry is a fabulous idea, it gives us all sorts of outcomes, sweet deaths, tragic deaths, angsty deaths...well, all deaths are angsty, but you know what I mean. I am a real angst-bunny when it concerns Harry, so perhaps this is why this fic appeals to me so much. Ok, all the chapters so far were good, but I adored this last one. It was so sad! Just Neville...his friends and "family" forsaken him, and lying alone in St Mungo's, with only Neville still visiting. Brought tears to my eyes. No easy feat. Poor Harry...and the last bit, mentioning the teddy bear again...so sweet and sad. I like how he compared Harry to his parents, as well; makes it all the more convincing and..well...Neville-ish.

Answer - I'm glad you've enjoyed it. I have some more written, and working on others.
