Artemis Mog- Thanks for your review, I'm glad you like my plot. : )
Blondprincess- Slytherin told Rowena he wants to be married to her for at least a year so he could claim parental right of his child. That's why Rowena asked Godric to wait for her.
Cinderella- Whoohoo! You're hooked!
Harrypotter4ever- Yes, I have quite a lot of different ideas for stories. What happens sometimes, is that I have 3 or 4 different outcomes for a certain story, and I'm not quite sure how to end it. As for Harry and Cho repeating Godric and Rowena's history, I can't answer that. Hint: I don't like being predictable.
Twoc2bcool- Rowena ran away from Salazar because she never loved him.
SupaSonik Hedgehog- Whoohoo! I'm glad you were "ooh"ed and "ahh"ed by the last chapter. Your thinking is on the right track. But if two major founders like Ravenclaw and Slytherin had a child together, the child will be the heir of one, not both, but it's hard to depend on which one. Sometimes the child will be sorted into Ravenclaw, sometimes Slytherin. Cho and Harry had never really decided to get married at Christmas, it was a suggestion. Now the set date is in late spring. However, I hate to say it, but your theory is wrong. This story is in no relation to being associated with Cho as a virgin mother. And she's not a virgin, because as Dumbledore said, "Harry is the father." Good luck with your finals! Mine ended some time ago. : ) And I won't be able to concentrate either if the HP book came out the same time my finals does! : (
Fantasyangel- Thanks
Brittney- No flashbacks in this chapter, sorry. : ( In this chapter, Cho is about seven months along. Scary, I know. I didn't try to make Salazar like Draco. He's portrayed like another character. (guess who) .
White-chocolate- There are about 5 to 6 more chapters. Sorry, can't make it 100+ chapters because I still have to have a sequel, and I'm also inspired to write a story about the romance of Molly and Arthur Weasley! : ) I hope you write lots of stories, because it's fun to entertain. : )
Meow- Man, the story gets sadder later on. : (
Snow-angel- Yeah, Godric's life is pretty sad. But wait until you read about what happens to Rowena.
Isis Stormwing- lol, your excerpt about Slytherin muttering in his death was pretty funny. I didn't raise my rating to PG13 because I never go into details with sexual contents and Harry and Cho doesn't do anymore than kiss. However, if you feel strongly that it should be raised, I will do so. : )
Kim- Ahhh! I don't want to kill you. I'm sorry if one chapter is too short for you, but hey, at least HP5 is coming out in a week! Isn't that exciting? I bet I'm going to lose a lot of readers when the book comes out. Myself, included, wouldn't be on fanfic, posting. I would be too busy reading.
Lily skylo- Yes, none of the original four founders had a truly happy life except for Hufflepuff. She married a guy she loved and they both had cute little Hufflepuff children.
Cho Potter- I'm glad you're inspired! Please write your story and continue with it. : ) I don't think I'm the best writer, but thanks for your compliment. *gets red in the face* : )
Feather-quill- Cho isn't related to Voldemort. You'll see why.
LatestSin- I hope you get some sleep so you will be energized to read this chapter! : )
Houou Kazoku-Kaga – Man, if my story could be made into a movie, I'd be rich! But believe it or not, I would rather be published than be in a movie. I don't know, I'm just weird.
Lils- I hope you have enjoyed reading my story. : )
Fantasyangel- Yeah, my story is kind of sad. It's one of those sad/romantic/funny stories.
Lim-cho- thanks
OutofAzkaban- Slytherin didn't end up getting Rowena! : ) You might want to read the last sentence of the last chapter again if you missed it.
PinkBallerina- I hope Harry doesn't forget Valentine's Day either. Lol.
Pterix_Syaoran- Hmm, well, I've already revealed that Harry is the heir of Gryffindor, so he's related to Godric. Yes, Ron is Wonky's descendent. But about Cho, I can't say anything yet.
Rachel- Hopefully you don't end up abandoning your stories! : )
Sakura-08- I am, here's more.
Rob of Eternal Fire – What happens to Cho and Harry will be different than what happened between Rowena and Godric.
Amscray- How is the affection between Godric and Rowena disturbing? Yes, I know whom Harry will end up with, but I'm not going to tell. : ) Ron and Hermione and Harry are in their sixth year in this story, not going into their fifth year. I hope that clears things up.
raspberryhoneyx101x- Wonky's bride wasn't a Granger, because remember, Hermione has Muggle parents. And if a Weasley had married a Granger years before, Hermione and Ron would be related!
Fyre Pixie- Thanks
Cho Potter/ Heather- I am updating. : )
Vld- Well, at least Slytherin is dead.
Chibi Akuma- Well, Cho isn't going to leave Harry. Don't worry. But if something awful does happen, please don't kill me.
Happy kid- Yup, it is.
ShortySC22- Sorry, but when I wrote this chapter, I didn't think about writing Valentine's day in the past. However, there are more past flashbacks coming up.
ChoChang_Dorothy- Wow, you've written possibly the longest review I've received thus far, and it wasn't a flame or anything. : ) Your English is very well spoken (or rather written) for someone who wasn't raised here. I suppose you are trilingual? Do you speak English, Chinese, and German? If you do, that's really something. I am not very good with languages at all, other than English. I speak a little of other languages here and there, but I'm not fluent. I'm sorry that SARS prevented your audition tape from being sent. That's really horrible, especially after of all your efforts. I think that a certain disease in a certain country shouldn't affect that mail or anything, especially since your mouth transfers the disease, not a videotape. I wanted to audition for a part in the Harry Potter movie too except I'm too lazy and I'm too old. I'm 16, and most of the characters are about three years younger than I am. When I'm writing this story, sometimes it's hard to me to stop. Especially when I have ideas that keep on popping into my head (like a catch at the end of this chapter), but then I say to myself "you have got to stop writing and take a break". And then when I get writer's block it's even worse! : ( I live in the US. I have never been in an International school, but it must be really interesting meeting different people. I have a thing for French guys, but anyway… Your English is definitely very good and believe me, it's better than some Americans' English is, so don't think that everyone here speaks it perfectly. I have preordered Harry Potter too, and I hope my mailman delivers it in time or else I think I will just simply die while the rest of the world opens up the book and is absorbed into chapter one.
Artemis Mog- Okay, some people are a little confused on exactly what is going on here so I have summarized the events below, please read. And please do not kill yourself over Salazar or else I will be very sad. : (
Happyluvr2003- There will be about 33-35 chapters. You're almost finished : )
Areana Shtiei- Man, I did not look up anything about dates or history, so if Quiddich was nonexistent during Godric and Rowena's time, I apologize. I will correct this immediately. Thanks for telling me and thanks for reviewing. : )
Frodo Potter- Thanks, but I have to tell you something. Most of the time, when I write a story, I begin with a very simple plot with a few twists and as I write, ideas come to my head. So some of the things that happen in this story were totally unexpected! My finished stories are always a little different than my original outline.
A/N: ATTENTION READERS OF THIS STORY! PLEASE READ THIS NOTE HERE IF YOU NEED A SUMMARY OF EVERYTHING THAT HAS HAPPENED!
Okay, a lot of people have a few things mixed up and it's partially my fault for ignoring my little mistakes and hoping no one will catch them, but the thing is half the people caught them and half the people didn't so I have a bunch of confused people.
Here is what has happened in the story so far:
Harry, Ron and Hermione are in their sixth year. Hermione and Ron are going out as a couple. Harry and Cho are engaged. Ginny is not going out with anybody. She still likes Harry, but respects Cho enough not to have a catfight or anything. Besides, Ginny is very shy so she kind of stays away from Cho. Fred and George, sadly, need to make up some classes at Hogwarts before graduation so they are still here. They are mad at each other because they are fighting over the same girl, Katie Bell (she plays on the Gryffindor Quiddich team)
At the beginning of the year, Harry took Cho out on a date and they had a great time except they fell asleep. Upon waking up, Harry and Cho had half their clothes off and had no idea what happened. This scenario happens twice. Once outside, and once in the prefects' bathroom. Harry IS the father! He just can't remember what happened, but he will find out later.
Harry writes to Mrs. Weasley, Sirius and the Dursleys to inform them that he will be a father. They all reply except for Sirius. Later, Dumbledore shows Harry a mysterious unfinished letter Sirius had written.
Meanwhile, Harry, Ron and Hermione discover a book in the Hogwarts Library that has a bunch of old love letters of Godric and Rowena, including Rowena's diary. (hint: the book the letters were found in is very important) Harry and Cho will not repeat Godric and Rowena's history exactly.
Meanwhile, they have a mysterious Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Veronica LeBlanc. Snape is the only teacher that falls for her. Everyone else that's attracted to her is a student. (but then, every other male teacher is like a billion years old)
Also, Hagrid is raising another mysterious pet. Harry is scared of Cho's father, and since Percy is obsessed with his work, he never makes a scene.
That's all that happened so far, unless I forgot to add something, in that case, you can remind me in a review or something. : )
Happy Reading!

Chapter 27- Valentine's Day
"Potter! You cheating bastard!" Malfoy said grinning. He waved Rita Skeeter's newest article on Cho and the Yule Ball around in the air. Harry snatched it out of Malfoy's hands, but Draco was too happy to let Harry read the article.
Harry Potter and his Attraction to Pretty Women
Rita Skeeter, Special Correspondent
The famous boy-who-lived seems to have an unstoppable charge of hormones as he is still a teenager. Harry Potter, engaged to an attractive girl, Cho Chang, whom is expecting his firstborn, was found in other girls' arms all night during the Christmas Ball at Hogwarts. His fiancée was left alone off the dance floor watching him charm his way with girls of all years and houses.
As a mother to be of a famous child, a wife to be of an unfaithful husband, perhaps not even interested in her anymore, she still holds a loving heart for the dark haired hero.
Almost in hot anger, Cho defends her love, even though he is just a few feet away with arms around another girl. "I know that Harry is attracted to other women," Chang says sadly. "But I am willing to wait for him. I am marrying the boy-who-lived! Who could ask for more?"
Harry and Ron looked at each other.
"That doesn't sound like Cho." Harry said.
"Are you kidding me? She would've slapped you if you were with other girls!" Ron snickered.
As you know, precious readers, Harry Potter was in a little rendezvous with Hermione Granger in his fourth year and Ginny Weasley at the beginning of this year.
"Potter hits on girls all the time," a sixth year Slytherin boy, Malfoy comments. "He hit on my date during the dance and you can't count how many hearts he has broken."
Perhaps Harry Potter will grow quickly in the months to come in order to accept the role of a father.
Harry rolled his eyes.
"You know, having Rita Skeeter interfere with a Hogwarts' students 'love life' is really sad. You'd think she has nothing better to do than make up stories." Harry said and tossed the article away.
He and Ron went in the library trying to think of a Valentine's Day present in secret. They had no idea what to give Cho and Hermione. Ron was thinking of a nice set of books for Hermione, but Harry said that maybe Ron should buy Hermione something she usually wouldn't buy for herself, like roses or something.
Harry flipped through the pages again in 'Potions for Animal Breeding'. A drawing of a Griffin caught his eye. In the margin, read, 'Animal of Our Love'.
Harry read on with interest.
The handwriting looked like Godric's.
The griffin was bred by Rowena and I. This animal symbolizes our love. We had decided to breed a new species representing Ravenclaw and Gryffindor as one, not two different animals. The head is of an eagle (for Ravenclaw) and the body, a lion (for Gryffindor). Ravenclaws and Gryffindors are known to have quick tempers and sharp minds. The griffin is perfectly matched. What we did was, as Animagi, transformed into animals and bred a new species.
Years from now, wizards worldwide will look at the griffin and be reminded of Ravenclaw and Gryffindor's love. Our first successfully bred griffin was named Glen. We had named the new species griffin after me, Gryffindor. Glen was named after Rowena's hometown, where she came from. We set Glen free after she was old enough to take care of herself. My lady and I watched as she flew off into the skies. I fastened a griffin symbol to my office door and it reminds me of Rowena as I enter work everyday as Hogwart's headmaster.
The griffin was officially an animal in 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' two years after it was bred.
"They created an animal together? Just how complicated was that?" Ron said, looking at the sketches of griffins.
Harry looked at the sketches of the animal. He would've never guessed that Godric and Rowena created them together. "I wonder where Rowena ran away to," he said softly.
"Let's go visit Hagrid." Ron said. "Maybe he can give us some ideas on Valentine's day presents. He and Madame Maxine has been going out for how many months now?"
"Dunno, very long time. He always wears that brown suit and 'cologne' when she comes to visit."
As they were leaving the library, Harry spotted Cho by a corner, scanning for a book.
"Hi, Cho." Harry said brightly.
"Hello, Harry." Cho said quickly, then glanced down, avoiding eye contact.
"What's up?" Harry asked, curious.
"Nothing." Cho said and pretended to be very absorbed in playing with her robe.
"Hey, are you hiding something?" Harry said smiling.
"No!" Cho said sharply. "I-I have to go, Harry. See you later!" She turned and walked quickly.
"Wait up!" Harry said, catching up with her. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, really, I just, I was just wandering around, that's all." Cho said casually. "I have to go. Ron's waiting for you."
And Harry was left standing by himself.
"What's wrong with her?" Ron asked, looking at Cho's direction.
"I don't know." Harry shrugged.
"Harry Potter! Wheezy!" An anxious voice suddenly boomed and knocked Harry face flat to the ground.
"Dobby!" Harry said, fixing his broken glasses with his wand.
"Dobby is sorry, Harry Potter!" Dobby squeaked. "Dobby has some information for Harry Potter!"
"What is it?" Harry asked.
"It's about Harry Potter and his maiden!" Dobby spat out, almost frightened of what he said.
"What about Cho? Is something wrong with her?" Harry asked quickly.
Dobby rocked back and forth on his knees. "Dobby is not supposed to say this, Dobby will be very wrong to tell and in very big danger if Dobby lets Harry Potter know, but Dobby must!" Dobby said and shook Harry by his shoulders. "Dobby must tell the brave and noble Harry Potter!"
"Tell me what?" Harry said, prying Dobby's hands off of him. "What?"
"That Harry Potter and his maiden cannot ever have the little Potter!" Dobby squeaked and then banged his hands upon the ground roughly.
"What?" Harry said.
"Harry Potter and his maiden should try to prevent the little Potter from existing!"
"Well, er," Ron cleared his throat. "Kind of late for that now."
"No! You must!" Dobby said. "It cannot come to exist or else Harry Potter will suffer! Dobby cannot say more! Dobby will be in severe danger!" Dobby said as though having a seizure. His eyes bulged and his hand was thumping against the floor.
"But why not? How can a little baby be dangerous?"
"You do not know, Harry Potter, but your maiden will suffer greatly and the little Potter will arrive much sooner than expected!" Dobby said and then grabbed Harry by his leg. "You must get rid of it!"
"My CHILD?" Harry said incredulously. "No way!"
"You must, Harry Potter, because----" Dobby suddenly became fearful and disappeared with a crack.
"What was that all about?" Ron asked.
Harry looked at Ron and thought for a moment. "I don't know, but I think it probably had something to do with Cho's strange behavior. And I don't think it's her hormones. She never eats with us at mealtimes anymore, does she?" Harry said slowly.
He and Ron stopped talking as Snape and Professor Leblanc walked by.
"Hope them two don't really develop a romantic relationship." Ron muttered. "Should we go see Hagrid?"
"Yeah." Harry said. "Yeah, we haven't seen him for a long time."
* *
"Hello! How yeh doin'?" Hagrid said cheerfully. He knocked a whole mess of clutter with his hand underneath the bed.
Harry and Ron stared.
"Bunch o' nothin' that's all." Hagrid said hastily. The hut smelled of milk.
Hagrid's knitting was lying on his bed. He was knitting a large, pink blanket.
Hagrid caught them staring at it and then shoved it underneath the bed, too.
"Anyone wan' some tea?" Hagrid asked, holding up a teapot.
They accepted, and then Harry said, "Hagrid, I'm wondering what a proper present to Cho would be. For Valentine's Day."
Hagrid's tears brimmed in his eyes. "Ah! Valentine's Day! Me and Olympe are plannin' to go down to Hogsmeade for a cuppa tea and nighttime stroll." Hagrid had this faraway look in his eyes.
"Well, what do you think I should do for Cho?"
Hagrid drank some tea and then said, "Well, maybe you should jus' spend the day with her, talkin' and showin' her 'round the castle. Make a nice card for her."
"I want to do something really special, Hagrid." Harry said.
"Buy a new crib?" Hagrid suggested.
"Hey, I need some ideas, too." Ron said. "What kind of present would make you feel extremely happy? What was the happiest present you had ever received, Hagrid?"
"Best present I ever received is when I got me accepted inter' Hogwarts!" Hagrid wiped his tears with a huge handkerchief. "Never bin prouder since the day I wen' inter' Gryffindor."
"I thought you were in Hufflepuff." Ron said.
Harry kicked him.
Hagrid didn't take offense to Ron's comment, but continued sighing and dreaming about his Olympe.
"Well, Hagrid, guess we'll see you later, then." Harry said after Hagrid looked at his clock and stared at Ron and Harry.
"Go on! Go on! I'll see yeh later!" Hagrid shooed them out of the hut.
"Well, that wasn't much improvement." Ron said dryly. "I have no idea what to get Hermione."
"I think I know what to give Cho." Harry said thoughtfully.
* *
Ron Weasley, through lots of hard running and panting, caught a fairy in the forbidden forest. Hagrid helped him after Ron ran around for about 40 minutes. All Hagrid did was click his fingers and the fairy flew to his palm.
Ron led Hermione by the hand to a private section in the library. No one else was there. On Valentine's Day evening, everyone was either in their dormitories with their special someone (sneaking girls in under McGonagall's nose) or outside in bushes and trees, beneath the stars.
"Hermione, I have something special to give you." Ron chirped.
"What is it?" Hermione asked, smiling.
Ron opened his hands and the bright fairy flew around them, leaving a trail of stars and sparkles.
"A fairy? But they are very hard to catch!" Hermione said, very impressed.
"Oh, well, it just takes a man to do this kind of thing." Ron said importantly.
Hermione gave him a look.
"Alright, Hagrid helped too," Ron added hastily.
Ron took out a card he made himself, with the words:
To Hermione,
'Mione love. Get it? (my only love)
Ron
It was very fun, watching the fairy dance around and being in the library all by themselves…..
….until the fairy got angry for not being outdoors and set fire to Ron's hat. While Ron tried to fan his hat out, Hermione conjured up a water charm and extinguished the fire.
Then Ron held his wet hat pitifully, and Hermione felt so sorry for him, that she kissed him, hoping to make him feel better. That set Ron to a very good mood, and before you knew it, the library has never been so enjoyable.
**
On Valentine's Day evening, Harry led Cho up to the Astronomy tower where they could be alone. Then, he had her close her eyes before placing a huge box in front of her.
"Happy Valentine's Day." Harry said happily. Cho opened her eyes and unwrapped the present. Then she lifted the dress out and gave a small gasp.
"Harry, it's beautiful!" she said touching the white lace and silk. "It's too small now, but it's for June, isn't it?"
Harry smiled. "I didn't think you've purchased a dress yet."
"No, no I didn't." Cho whispered. She just kept on staring at the dress in great amazement.
"That is a beautiful dress." A voice said.
Harry and Cho turned, startled of being interrupted.
"Oh, don't mind me," The ghost said. "I was just thinking of my long lost love up in the owlery when I heard voices. I've been missing her for centuries now."
"I'm sorry," Cho said sympathetically. "What happened?"
"She left me." The ghost sighed. "I've never been felt a happy moment since. I wrote letters all the time to her up in the Owlery. Now I just stay there hoping that one day an owl will come to me from her. That's not possible, of course, since she is long gone, so mostly I keep to myself."
Harry studied the ghost for a moment. "Hey---I know you!"
"I beg your pardon, young man?" The ghost said.
"You're Godric Gryffindor!"

A/N: Dundundun! Wow! Big suspense here! Another little surprise! Hehe. If you read book four, the sorting hat's song says that Ravenclaw was from Glen. Also, if you own a copy of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, you can look up the animal: the Griffin. Review! Review! This story is in no way trying to start off where book 4 ended. I'm not going to try to attempt to write the outcome of the real Harry Potter story. Next chapter is called 'The Dream'.
