Bon- Um…I don't quite understand your review, but I hope you have the story correct.
Cho Potter- Here's the answer to what happened to Rowena.
Lim-cho- Thanks
None- Thanks
Snow-angel- brace yourself, it's not a happy chapter.
Fyre Pixie- Oh, this chapter is even sadder. : (
Jommoov- Sigh. I think I explained the whole plot line in a chapter previous to this. Like chapter 28 or 27, so if you're confused, please read the summary. Also, if you skipped around reading chapters, you probably can't exactly follow what's happening.
Cinderella- Yeah, sorry if you're sad about the story ending, but I'm planning on writing more stories. : )
Shinobu- Thanks
Houou Kazoku-Kaga- What do you mean WW3 will start? Lol, anyway, who do you think that was?
OutofAzkaban- Yes, I'm 16, and I'm glad you like my story. : )
Pheonixflames121- Thanks, I'll check out your stories.
Frodo Potter- thanks
Areana Shtiei – Thank you for your kind review! I hope my character descriptions are pretty well done and I hope you enjoy the rest of my story. : )
Dieselbaby- You know, your reviews are really…unique, but I'm glad to have them! : ) I already gave you this chapter to read so you already know all about it. Lol.
White-chocolate- Oh, I loved the fifth book too! Read it after I finished this story as to not mess up the plot. However, my future stories will include characters from the fifth book because there are so many more! I liked the beginning of Cho's character in the fifth book, how she was nice to Harry, stood up to him against Filch and stuff, but man, she cries too much. And I love Hagrid and his funny tale! He and Olympe better get engaged or something.
Chibi Akuma- Thanks
Isis Stormwing- I don't know about Harry going out with Ginny, but I think that'll be a cute couple. The thing is, Harry never really liked Ginny and Ginny is over him now. JK said that Harry's girlfriend will be someone new, so I'm guessing Luna? If you read carefully, I mentioned why Rowena left Godric, but not where she went. That is what this chapter is for. : )
LatestSin- I can feel your happiness through your review. : ) Thanks for reading and hope you enjoy this chapter!
Feather-quill- Oh, there will be some surprises in the end alright. Keep reading. : )
JB- Thank you very much for your rating of 12/10! : )
Fantasyangel- Sirius's unfinished letter is mentioned in the Halloween feast chapter. I forgot what it was, but it has something to do with Halloween. Pretty early in the story.
Amscray- lol, I don't think Harry and Cho will have nine kids, but read on. : )
Moonlightgirl*ChoChang- Good grief, I hope your friends come back because where in the world would their parents work? I mean, did their parents just quit their jobs and fly away? Where would they live? Also, you asked if you could email me. You can email me, my email is posted in my author information, but I'm not very good with replies because I don't check my email that often. It's better to send me a review, because I reply to all my reviews at the same time. Harry and his child go through something at the end of the story, but I won't say anymore.
Pterix- Well, with the hints and guesses from reviews, I think you can kind of know where Rowena ran off to, but anyway, here's the anticipated chapter. Thanks for your review. : )
Christie- Oh, I think Ootp is awesome too! : )
Rachel- Well, no relationship is perfect, is it? I'm glad Harry and Cho are back together too, read on.
Artemis Mog- Do you think Harry Potter's child will be the Dark Lord? Nah, too depressing. I wouldn't want him having to fight his kids someday. Anyway, thanks for your review.
Tror Stormcryer- Thank you very much for your review. I loved Ootp! A lot of people thought it didn't live up to their "expectations" and I can kind of understand why, but then again, since there are seven books in total, we all know Harry will escape Voldemort in the end. But I loved it, especially Hagrid and Gwarp! That was really cute.
Courtneyll989- Thanks
Twoc2bcool- Glad to have provided humor for you. : ) My story is kind of sad sometimes, but then there are funny parts to kind of make up for it, I guess. : )
ShortySC22- Well, Godric didn't know where Rowena ran off to. He is just as puzzled as the rest of us, but something does happen to him later on.
H_Potter- Well, since I wrote the story, I won't answer your question, but your question will be answered in this chapter.
Arlawyn- I thought Cho was really nice in the beginning of Ootp, standing up for Harry, being nice to him, but later on she kind of annoyed me, but I guess Harry wasn't that great either with his anger problems. However, I loved the idea of Hermione knitting elf socks and hats, so cute. And Ron gave her perfume for Christmas! Sigh. Definitely see some potential in that couple.
Kimberly- I have no idea who the Astronomy teacher is, I didn't think she was mentioned, I should have researched that. Sorry about the confusion! I won't make that mistake again.
A/N: I loved Ootp! It was great! But I have to ask those who review to please not give away anything big in the book for those who haven't read it yet. I received a review that told me who died in the book before I read it! Ah! I forgot who it was, but please don't do that in case someone who haven't read the book read the reviews.
Thanks!

Chapter 29- Lady Rowena
Godric Gryffindor sighed and closed the book.
"That brings back a lot of memories." He said to Harry and Cho.
"Sorry if I kind of intruded on your personal letters." Harry said humbly.
"It's alright, Harry, you were just naturally curious. That's Gryffindor blood!" Godric said.
"Godric," Cho spoke. "If you and Rowena had wed, do you think you would still be a ghost?"
"Definitely not. You're only a ghost if your life was empty." Godric replied and sighed again. "I would have been the happiest man on earth! Holding Rowena in my arms was like being in pure bliss. She was so beautiful."
"What on earth happened to her?" Harry wondered out loud. He held Cho's hand and they both looked through the pictures of Godric and Rowena again.
What truly happened to Rowena was a tragic ending to a young, loving woman's life.
Rowena was born a beautiful and loving child. She had wonderful parents who loved her dearly. She was educated by her father and taught to sing and play the harp by her mother. She loved to read.
She met Godric when she was about sixteen, and he won her over by his charm and carefree sense of life. Rowena's father often chased Godric around, banging spells on him with his wand when he caught him kissing his daughter.
Finally, when Rowena was twenty, her father gave Godric permission to wed his daughter, and also a threat to break Godric's neck in half if Godric ever hurt Rowena in any way.
What seemed to be a happy life for this young couple turned into a nasty nightmare. Salazar used Rowena and she was burdened by the idea of betraying Godric.
After leaving her wedding and running as far away as possible, she discontinued communication from everyone that she knew, including her family. She gave birth to an illegitimate baby, and named her 'Gloria' after the flower. Rowena thought that her life would end, because men didn't want to marry a woman with a child. She spent her life cleaning for several families and in her spare time, she would travel to visit the world.
When Gloria was about five years old, Rowena was desperately low on money. She didn't even have two Knuts to buy food. She usually had enough to feed Gloria once a day, and didn't eat near enough herself. She traveled from country to country, searching for wizard families to work for. It was difficult to find wizard families, because the Muggles thought of witches and wizards as terrible people, and magic families were kept secret.
Finally, she traveled to Asia, and worked for a wealthy family there. When she was taking Gloria out for a walk one day, she accidentally dropped Gloria's cup of milk on a man's wizard robes. The man watched as Rowena apologized over and over again, hiding her face with her hands. The man noticed how dirty Rowena's robes were, and how thin she was from the lack of food.
He asked Rowena to please stop crying, and gave her several Sickles to buy food. When Rowena looked up at the man, the man felt love from his heart as he saw the face of this beautiful woman.
They wed several weeks later.
The man turned out to be very rich.
Len Chang, the emperor of the country.
Rowena's husband was very good to her, and treated her as kindly as Godric would've treated her. However, Rowena was still so upset over the loss of Godric, that she tried to shut him out of her life and pretended she never met him. It hurt her too much to know how she betrayed Godric by letting Salazar use her. Rowena read and kept every letter Godric sent, but she never read them twice and she never replied. She kept the letters in the book she and Godric used to breed the Griffin.
At the time of Godric's death, Rowena went to see him very quietly. She then took all of Godric's letters and hid them in the Hogwarts library, as to dispose them forever.
Rowena went on to have three more children with her husband, and was peaceful until the day her husband died in a war.
Then, having lost yet another man, Rowena went mad and ran away from her palace. She spent many nights walking, half starved in different areas of the world. Her children looked for her continuously, decades after her disappearance, but she was never found.
Rowena was found dead upon Godric's grave two years after she went insane.
Gloria, Rowena's first child, was angry at having lost both parents and went in search of her biological father. Gloria eventually found Salazar, and he, seeking revenge, taught her Dark Magic. Gloria became so absorbed in the Dark Arts that she never went back to her brothers and sister in the palace again.
She was, in fact, linked directly to the conception of Lord Voldemort.
A/N: This was a very short chapter, because it only talked about Rowena's life. I wanted to give you the details about what happened to her. I've finally finished this story a couple of days ago. It's 33 chapters long and I'm already starting another story (it's not the sequel to this story). Not all questions will be answered directly at the end of this story. For example, when you read the next couple of chapters, it won't tell you directly, "Dobby was acting weird because…" but you can probably figure out why.
