Raoulff18- The story hasn't ended yet. There are a total of 33 chapters. : )

Dieselbaby- Well, that's what you get for being my beta reader for one chapter anyway. I can tell you the ending to the story if you like. :D

ShortySC22- This chapter is the beginning to where everyone solves everything.

Houou Kazoku-Kaga- Thanks

Lim-cho- There is a little bit of Harry and Cho in here and a lot more in the rest of the chapters.

Blondeprincess- Er…sorry, but you're not going to find out more about Gloria. Everything that is important, I've already told. Who her parents were, who her half-siblings were, and how she was linked to Voldemort. Yes, I've read the fifth Harry Potter book so if you have a question, go on and ask. : ) Also, thanks for asking first in case I haven't read the book.

Cinderella- I think JK Rowling might get into the original four founders in her later books because it's rumored that a lot will be revealed about the Ravenclaw ghost. I mean, we never really hear about her. Yes, I've finished the fifth book already and it was great! It also gives me a lot more characters to work with for my sequel. : )

Sunshine*girl-Hermione- Thanks : )

…- Maybe I should've been clearer. What I meant was, her children didn't find her, but she was found on Godric's grave; like if a person passed by Godric's grave, she'll be found laying there. Her children never knew about Godric so they didn't think to go look for her around Hogwarts.

Cho Potter- Awwwww…I get all touched by drama stories too. Brace yourself, there's a whole lot more to sink in later on. Esp. chapter 32.

(no name)- Harry did impregnate Cho, as I've stressed many times. Also, have you noticed the Changs are very rich? That's because they've always have been. They are the descendents of Royalty. Besides, I thought Rowena deserved luxury after suffering so much.

Fantasyangel- *grins* Yes, that does link Cho to Voldemort somehow, and it plays a big turn to the story. I'm glad you caught that. Yes, Harry is the heir of Gryffindor.

White-chocolate- Yes, I'm planning on adding book five characters in my sequel and Tonks is very possibly one of them. I liked her a lot, too. : )

Fyre Pixie- Oohhhh…now you are going to make me feel super guilty once you read the rest of the story. It gets even more depressing. : (

Aubyn Lin- I didn't really plan on having the whole original four founders tie into my story, but I guess it kind of happened. : )

H_Potter- Harry is the descendent of Gryffindor. Dumbledore told him that (Sirius did, actually) in one of the previous chapters, in case you missed it. Yes, Cho will give birth.

Heather- Cho is related to Voldemort in a slight way. Yeah, I suppose Harry and Cho could kiss and make up because she did blush at the end of the book, but I will never know.

Pterix- Oh, I know what you mean. The book is great, but it just seemed a little different from JK's writing. I was also so disappointed in the fact that we didn't find out about Ravenclaw's ghost because it seemed like such an interesting rumor!

Rachel- Story's almost to an end. Hope you enjoy this chapter.

EmmeralCho- Yeah, I didn't pay attention to the Astronomy part. I guess I should've. Thanks for the answer. : )

Amscray- The part about Rowena? I made it all up. Ron and Hermione aren't even married yet, so they won't think about having kids any time soon.

JB Hannah- Thanks

Moonlightgirl*ChoChang- Yes, Harry does do something, but I'm not going to give it away. What Cho saw in the forest will be answered in the last chapter. I'm not very good with names so I made up the name Len. As you've noticed, Cho's parents have English names b/c I didn't know what their names should be. Gloria is not the mother of Voldemort, she is the ancestor. I didn't directly mean China in the chapter b/c I really don't know what Cho's background is, so I just said a country in Asia. Book five is really funny, you'll enjoy it a lot. : )

MagicalMoonPrincess- You're right. : )

Stevethecool- Why do you want them to have the baby so soon? You'll wish to take back what you've hoped for later. Ahem ahem. Dobby's warning. Hint hint.

(no name)- Didn't say the Emperor of China, just an Asian country. Also, how in the world is that funny? Glad to have provided humor anyhow. No, Harry is not going to kill Cho! He is not going to kill anyone, believe me.

Chibi Akuma- I'm glad you found it interesting. Thanks.

Courtney11989- I'll read your story if I can find it. : )

Shinobu- *moans in agony* Ahhh…sorry, but no more fluffiness…well, a little bit…but just to warn you…

Twoc2bcool- Yeah, it's really sad. : ( Sorry. Hey, at least she was Royalty for awhile…

Emily- Yeah, there'll be a lot of questions in the end, so I'm going to make a sequel. : )

Christie- Thanks

Arlawyn- I've finished the story already and there aren't any more parts of Gloria in it. However, you've already read an important piece of information. Gloria, Rowena's daughter, lead to the conception of Voldemort.

Chapter 30- Hagrid's Pet

Before Harry knew it, February had turned into March and March to April. End-of-the-year exams were approaching steadily. All of the teachers, especially McGonagall, heaved an extra pile of homework on their backs one day in the early spring. The snow had stopped and the trees were growing new leaves.

"Hello, Cho." Harry said cheerfully to his fiancée. Cho smiled at him and they walked to lunch together.

"I have too much work to do to prepare for graduation. I can't believe I'll be leaving Hogwarts." Cho said as Harry put her pile of books on the table. "Ooh, lunch!"

Harry watched as Cho helped herself to a foot long sub and a rather large portion of casserole.

"Ro-on!" Hermione's voice came breaking through. She slammed down her books and fiery with a defiant look in her eyes, glared at Ron rather dangerously.

"He tore up all nine pages I had to write for Snape about potions and it was due today!" Ron stammered.

"Well maybe if you put it in a safer place…."

"It was on my table! Right next to my books!"

"Not very safe! Poor, poor Crookshanks."

"Hermione, I didn't even kick him very hard. It was more of a little push to move him over."

Hermione said, "I don't recall being very mean to Pig!"

"I said I was sorry!"

Cho groaned. "All this noise is making my head spin. Excuse me, Harry, Hermione, and Ron, I going to my dormitory for awhile."

She got up and left the table.

"Ronald Weasley, I swear---!"

"My paper is due next period!" Ron wailed. "Hey, Hermione, can I see yours?" he asked hopefully.

"No!"

"But your cat tore mine's up!"

Hermione took a big huff and swelled with anger. "Humph!"

"Hermione, wait!" Ron said. "I just want to tell you something."

"What?" Hermione said impatiently, looking at Ron.

"You look very beautiful when you're fiery." Ron said, touching Hermione's hair.

"Well! I---" Hermione stuttered. She suddenly grabbed all of her books and marched off.

Harry, who watching their latest fight very quietly, suddenly become existent. Ron turned to face him as he heard a munch in the background.

"So, it's you and me again, huh?" Ron said sadly to Harry.

"Without our girlfriends. Here, have a sandwich." Harry said to Ron.

"Thanks." Ron said, and took a bite of chicken and ham.

"What I don't understand about women is, why in the world do they always pick fights with you? The raging hormones, the scene causing, making you feel guilty---" Ron sighed and glanced at the table. "Hey! Fudge!" his tone completely changed.

"Hello dears!" a cheerful voice popped up behind the two boys.

"Oh, hello Professor Leblanc." Harry greeted politely.

"Hello." Ron said thickly.

"Isn't it a beautiful spring morning?" Professor Leblanc looked down at the boys and smiled a wide smile and then looking beside them, suddenly frowned. "Where is your fiancée, Harry?"

"Oh, she went to her dorm to take a nap." Harry replied.

"Ah!" Professor Leblanc smiled contently. "How wonderful it must be for you to hold a child in your arms!"

"Uh, yeah." Harry said.

"Well, be sure to tell me when your child arrives! I want to see Harry Potter's heir!" She trailed off in a mist of perfume.

"So what do you want to do for afternoon break?" Ron asked.

"Visit Hagrid?"

"Alright, then."

The boys traveled down to Hagrid's little hut and knocked on the door.

They had no idea they were being watched.

* *

Cho murmured in her sleep. She was having that dream again. The awful one. The one where she tossed and turned back and forth. She started sweating and her heart was racing faster.

The stranger pulled close to Cho and tipped a few drops of liquid into a glass of water near Cho's nightstand. Then, the stranger left and disappeared from the room.

Cho's eyes flew open almost immediately after the stranger left.

She was breathing heavily from her dream and then looked at the glass of water close to her. She drank it down and then tried to calm herself.

She got up and went to the mirror and pushed some hair behind her ears. Then she went to the bathroom to wipe her face.

She was getting ready to leave for her afternoon classes when she suddenly thought, 'When did that glass of water get here?'

* *

Harry Potter and Ron Weasley knocked on Hagrid's door.

"It's us Hagrid!" they called cheerfully.

"Uh…jus' a moment!" they heard him call and then he opened the door and shut it behind him.

"Hello! Wha' are yeh up to?" He said.

"Nothing much, just visiting you."

"Well, nice meetin' yeh! 'bye!" Hagrid said and then went inside.

"Hagrid!" Harry said.

"I'm kinder busy righ' now." Hagrid said and all of the sudden, a rather loud bang followed by water splashing was heard from inside.

"What was that?" Ron asked curiously.

"What was what?" Hagrid said. "I didn't hear any splashing."

Ron and Harry looked at Hagrid.

Then, the two boys ducked under Hagrid's arm and went inside.

They ran out immediately.

What they faced was a six feet tall slippery animal with tentacles and wearing a bath cap. It looks like Hagrid had pushed him (or her) into a large tub and was giving it a bubble bath.

"You have an Octekopus?" Ron whimpered.

"Goodness, Hagrid!" Harry said and backed away from the animal.

The Octekopus banged its long arms and one of them reached over and tapped Ron's shoulder. Ron gave a what was between a high pitched squeak to a deep breath.

"Aww, Slipper won' hurt a flobberworm!" Hagrid said affectionately.

"Slipper?!" Harry said. "That thing is huge!"

"She had her babies a few weeks ago." Hagrid said and tears brimmed his eyes. "Look."

"HAGRID ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? THEY CAN SWALLOW A HUMAN WHOLE!" Ron said.

A bunch of baby Octekopuses were in a huge tank in the corner of Hagrid's room. They were about three feet long. A pink blanket that looked similar to Hagrid's knitting was displayed on top of the tank, bearing the words, "Hagrid's First Ocean Pets".

"Where did you find one of these?" Harry asked.

"In the lake! It was there by itself, mind yeh, all alone, the poor thing." Hagrid answered. "I took it in an' raised it righ'!"

"IS IT RELATED TO THE GIANT SQUID?" Ron suddenly asked fearfully.

"Nah, it's a baby compared teh the Gian' Squid!"

"Oh brother." Harry muttered. "Hagrid, aren't you not supposed to raise pets this big?"

"How do you feed it?" Ron said.

"Fish from th' lake." Hagrid said, his eyes brimming with tears again. "Look at them."

"Hagrid, don't you think it should be wiser to let the animal go?" Harry asked.

"Let it go?" Hagrid said staring at Harry with shock. "And let th' poor thing all by 'self alone?"

"But it's their natural habitat!" Harry said desperately. "Does Professor Dumbledore know about this?"

"I'll raise 'em for 'while, anyway, and I just wan' to keep a baby Octekopus for me 'self, 's all." Hagrid pulled some rubber ducks for the Octekopus in the bathtub.

"Hagrid, I mean it! Your house is not big enough for an animal like this!" Harry said.

"It won' hurt a fly!"

"Harry! Harry!" Hermione's voice called as she burst through the door. "Come on! You have to come!"

"What?" Harry said.

"Listen you---AHHHHH!" Hermione screamed when she looked at the huge animal.

" 's okay!" Hagrid said, trying to calm his Slipper down.

"Hagrid!" Hermione said, then turned to face Harry. "Listen, come on, it's time!"

"What are you talking about? Time for what? I just ate lunch." Harry answered.

"Your child, Harry!" Hermione said impatiently, grabbing Harry's hand and pulling him out of the cabin. Behind them, Hagrid had just been smacked in the face by a tentacle and another tentacle was holding Ron up in the air.

"Now?" Harry cried unbelieving. "But it's way too early!"

"Come on!"

Harry began sweating. "What? But I'm not ready! How am I supposed to----"

But Hermione was dragging him up toward to castle already.
