Sigh- sorry! I just had a sudden idea to write that little short story from a review I got.
Otter is the best- Thanks for the review!
Raspberryhoneyx10x- Updated my fictionpress story today. : ) Hope you like it.
Isis Stormwing- Oh believe me, I don't think this chapter is the true climax of the story. Please don't let me be the cause of your heart attack! Think no strain…! You get to find out if it's a boy or a girl in this chapter! : ) Your review gave me the idea to write Rowena and the Emperor. Did you know? In that story, the King only has one wife b/c I am not going to have him being a player esp. since he is a wizard and very important! Because they were both purebloods, their children will be all wizards and witches too. I mean, they could've had a squib, but they didn't. : ) Your comment about magic wasn't as feared in Asia as in Europe gave me the idea of why. I mean, think about it, it wasn't as feared. Hahaha, Voldemort's mother being a ghost and yelling at him to stop terrorizing the people. I can just imagine that…lmao. ("TOM! What in Merlin are you doing? I want you to set those people free right now! Don't give me that look! I mean it!") Octekopuses are not in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. I made them up. I have read all of the Harry Potter books at least five times (ex. For the Order of the Pheonix one. I've only read that once so far.)
Amscray- Ah…the predictions keep rolling…but anywho, you get to see who is behind all this in this chapter.
Vld- Well, you'll find out who it is in this chapter.
Lim-cho- Don't have to wait anymore! This is it! As you can see the chapter title is the same as the story title. Hmm…that should mean something! *gasp* Perhaps this is the real turning point of the story! You'll have to excuse me, I'm a bit excited that I've finished my story.
Jewls- Here it is!
Girliegurl- calm down, lol.
Fantasyangel- This is for your review of the Rowena story. I don't think all Chinese emperors were cruel because that'll be a little stereotyping and that'll be pretty sad for Rowena. Also, I believe if you're the emperor of a country, it's useful to learn different languages. In Anna and the King, the emperor of Thailand or something knew English anyway. As for the liquid in the glass, I can't tell you who that was.
LatestSin- Thanks! And you get to find out who put the liquid in the glass later.
White-chocolate- Don't be so sure that the baby is premature. Pay attention to a certain question Dumbledore asks. Yeah, I decided to give Voldemort a little brain and Slytherin some more pride b/c honestly, it'll be pretty sad if a wizard that powerful was 100% Slytherin. Sorry to any Slytherin fans out there. I feel so sorry for Professor Snape though!
Soulwalker- Haha…all the Gryffindor courage inside the famous Harry Potter keeping himself conscious. Hahaha…
Rachel- Thanks!
Cho Potter- I don't know about excruciating details, but I do know about cuteness in this chapter. Hehehe…with Hagrid mostly.
Cinderella- What's related to the Giant Squid? The baby?
Courtneyll989- I think I've read part of your story before. I'm not too sure, but I enjoy Hermione and Ron stories. Here's the next chapter.
Feather-quill- hehehehe…
Lotis-blossom-quill-girl- Can't post just because I've finished it. One chapter at a time…there are only two more left anyway. Hehehe…
Heather- Thanks, and I think Ron is absolutely adorable! Sigh.
Mega-Archangel- I believe this chapter will leave you hanging even more than the last.
Fyre-Pixie- The name Hagrid gave his pet is supposed to be like "slippery" you know, because of its skin. : )
Sunshine*girl-Hermione- To make italics on your stories, just save the document as a webpage. : )
Snow-angel- Ah…the curiosity…lol….
Cross- I'm glad you enjoy it so much! Maybe you'll enjoy my other stories as well. : )
Frodo Potter- Thank you! Read page turner, eh? Well, at least mouse clicking thing anyway.
Lim-cho- Huge cliffhanger following…
Chinese*Fireball- The child isn't going to grow up to be another Dark Lord. But I'm not going to tell you anything else. To make italics, just save your document as a webpage. : )
Tror Stormcryer- Oh, I know what you mean. Cho is really nice in the 5th book, but sheesh, she cries way too much. I think that if Harry didn't have his temper and Cho didn't get so emotional, things would've worked out better, but anyway…
Christie- Hehehe, here you go.
Moonlightgirl*ChoChang- Harry says, "How am I supposed to know what to do?" But he gets cut off. Anyway, I thought if I cut that part off, you all can guess yourselves of what you think Harry Potter will say at the crucial moment. I don't know about Rowena being the bad guy. Once you read the 5th book, you will fall in love with it! I loved it! Very, very funny.
Captain 'Phoenix' Aquamarine- Yeah, the animals in the fifth book was a little freaky. The ones that Hagrid took them to see. And don't forget the Blast-ended Skwerts.
Raoulff18- You can figure out who the stranger was by putting together a few puzzle pieces, but anyway, if you haven't, it'll be revealed in the next chapter. That's right; not this one, the next one. Man, you hate me right now, don't you?
Me- Aww, I'm glad you enjoy my story so much. : )
Lils- Here you go!
H_Potter- Hold in on your patience, you'll see the baby in this chapter. : ) Thanks for the seven thumbs up.
Raspberryhoneyx101x- Your premonition is right, but I can't give the ending away. Lol! Calm down, don't get too tense until…the end of this chapter. Ahem, anyway. No, I haven't heard about the theme park Knoebals, only Disney World and Wild Adventures and all that. However, I'm sure it's pretty cool. Have fun!
Ethereal-love- A hippopotamus hanging off by the edge of a spider web? Good analogy for your tension, but this chapter will only leave you hanging even more. Sorry!
ShortySC22- Well, I don't go into Harry's eyes that much because I can't see how his eyes have anything to do with anything. I'll leave that to JK Rowling, but you do get to see an infamous and famous character come back in this chapter.
Aubyn Lin- It's not a stillbirth, I swear. I'm not going to make the story end as soon as the climax begins!
Chibi Akuma- This chapter is full of effusive emotions. : )
Stevethecool- Here it is, the chapter preceding the most important chapter.

Chapter 31- The Little Potter
Hermione dragged Harry up to the hospital wing running quickly, but upon arriving at the door, Harry stopped abruptly.
"I don't know if I should go in there." Harry said and pulled away.
"It's alright!" Hermione said and grabbed his arm.
"I don't know! Isn't it private to Cho or something?" Harry said, sweating and restraining to go into the room.
As soon as Harry entered the room, a book was clucked at him, aiming straight for his head. He recognized it as the book Mrs. Chang gave to her daughter. He ducked just in time.
"Just the person I want to see!" Cho yelled. "Accio wand!"
"AHHH!" Harry cried as he was thrown backward against the wall.
"Stupefy!" Cho yelled at him while Hermione ducked and tried to take Cho's wand out of her hand. Madam Pomfrey bustled around the room, repairing broken objects Cho had thrown.
Hermione took the wand out of Cho's death like grip and then placed it on another table.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT (Cho called Harry something that made Hermione glad Harry was knocked out so not to hear) DOING HERE?!"
"To see you…" Hermione said slowly, very fearful of what Cho might do.
"WELL I DON'T WANT HIM HERE!" Cho roared in a way that was worse than Mrs. Weasley.
Hermione quickly rushed over to Harry and tried to get him to stand up. He was knocked out.
"Oh…oh this is not good," Hermione said as she patted Harry's face. "Come on, wake up, wake up…" She pulled Harry out of the way just as another vase was thrown their direction.
"Cho, dear, drink this." Madam Pomfrey said, handing her a potion. "It'll help…"
"GET HIM OUT OF HERE!" Cho said, full of fury. She pointed to the unconscious Harry Potter, the boy who lived, the famous hero that had defeated the Dark Lord an umpteenth amount of times, brave Gryffindor, Quiddich player lying on the floor from being stupefied from his fiancée.
"Alright, alright, whatever you wish." Hermione said quickly and dragged Harry out of the room.
Harry Potter woke up about an hour later with a bump on his head and just outside the hospital room. He looked around, bewildered of his state, and all of the sudden, Hermione burst out of the door.
"It's okay!" Hermione gave a tug and Harry flew into the room. He stumbled a few steps and then saw Cho lying on a bed close by. She was worn and tired, but her smile has never been brighter.
"Harry!" Cho said happily. "Look!"
In her arms was a small pink bundle.
"It's a girl!"
"That was fast!" Harry breathed.
"Quickest little witch I've ever seen." Madam Pomfrey said. "Now Miss. Chang must get her rest. I insist---"
Harry ignored her and walked over to Cho, almost trembling.
"Isn't she sweet?" Cho said smiling.
"She is." Harry said in awe, almost hesitating to touch his daughter. "Is it safe for me to---?"
"Go ahead." Cho said and Harry held the baby in his arms.
Holding a daughter is completely different for Harry. He had never loved anything so much the moment held her. Nothing, he vowed, will ever hurt his child. He will protect it from the entire world.
She was so small and so cute. Her hands moved to touch Harry's hand and her nose was a little button. Her hair was dark and her eyes were a deep shade of black.
"What should we name her?" Cho asked.
"Name her…." Harry thought. "Hmm."
It was quiet as they thought of names for awhile.
"How about after your mother, Harry?" Hermione suggested.
"But that's not enough." Harry spoke. "Your mother," He looked at Cho. "Should be honored as well."
"Lily…" Cho thought.
"Lilyanne." they finished together.
"Lilyanne Potter?" Madam Pomfrey said with satisfaction.
The door was opened. Professor McGonagall, Ron Weasley, Hagrid and Professor Dumbledore came in.
"We just heard the news!" McGonagall exclaimed excitedly. "The newest little Gryffindor!"
"Or Ravenclaw." Cho put in.
"Yes." McGongall smiled at her. "Of course, maybe a clever Ravenclaw, too."
"Wonderful." Dumbledore said beaming.
"What is her name?" Ron asked touching Lilyanne's hand.
"Lilyanne Potter. After our mothers." Cho answered.
There was a sudden cry followed by tears from the back of the room. It was Hagrid.
"Shoulda known!" Hagrid said wiping his tears. "A beautiful baby by Harry and Cho! Looka her." Hagrid sniffed. "Looks a bit small if yeh ask me."
Cho smiled sleepily. "Would you like to hold her, Hagrid?"
Hagrid gave another sudden cry. "I never bin so honored!"
Professor McGonagall patted Hagrid's back, as to calm him down.
As soon as Hagrid held Lilyanne, she gave a little babble and her fingers touched his beard.
"She's tickin' me!" Hagrid said and laughed.
"Is everything alright?" McGonagall asked Madam Pomfrey. "Everything was smooth, no complications?"
"None at all. It was very fast. Took an hour or so." Madam Pomfrey said.
"Well!" McGonagall said and then smiled.
"Poppy," Professor Dumbledore said softly. "Is Lilyanne a premature?"
"No, not by the looks of her. Seven pounds and two ounces. Has a head full of dark hair, the beauty."
"Hmm." Dumbledore said in thought.
"She is so gorgeous. I just sent an owl to my parents announcing Lilyanne's arrival." Cho said.
Harry's heart was completely full. Just looking at his daughter, wrapped up in a soft pink bundle, her cooing and curious little head looking at them all made him feel as if his world was complete. It was the happiest day of his life.
"Miss. Chang will be excused from all class work for as long as." Professor McGonagall announced. "No need to worry about that."
They all stood in the hospital wing, admiring the new arrival. After a bit, Lilyanne began to fuss, so Madam Pomfrey got out a crib for her and Harry laid Lilyanne now for her nap.
They all left Cho and Lilyanne alone, letting them rest, and exited the room quietly.
* *
At dinner, Harry enjoyed his feast of roast chicken and potatoes very contently. He had a brand new daughter, the most beautiful girl there will be, and he was going to wed Cho, a clever, attractive, wonderful girl. He sighed happily.
Cho had received congratulation cards from her friends and numerous people came up to Harry during dinner and patted him on the back. All except the Slytherins of course.
Malfoy yelled, "Shame Potter has to grow up so fast! Ten Gallons that he will live a life like the Weasleys! Poor and a house full of children---" BONK. Fred threw a transfiguration book at Malfoy's head and Malfoy was knocked unconscious.
"Mr. Weasley!" Professor McGonagall scolded. She went over to check to see if Draco was breathing, and then told Crabbe to take him up to the hospital wing.
"Ron," said Harry looking around the Gryffindor table. "Where did Hermione go?"
Ron shrugged. "Dunno, she was headed off to the library, in a bit of rush."
"The library?"
"Said she just figured out something. You know Hermione, when she thinks she's got something, she runs over to the library in relish."
"Here ya go!" Fred came down to Harry's end of the table. "I thought I'll contribute to Lilyanne's very first prank!" he handed Harry a whoopee cushion.
"Thanks, Fred." Harry said amused.
"And here is a gift certificate for you!" George said popping up behind Harry. "To my joke shop! It opens next year. It's an unlimited gift certificate. Can stock up all you want."
Just then, a head full of bushy brown hairs come galloping in Ron and Harry's direction.
"Harry, I just understood something!" Hermione cried, a thump of books dumped on the dinner table. She looked like she just discovered America like Wizard Columbus did, except that Wizard Columbus Apparated a thousand miles off course because he didn't pass his Apparation test and therefore was arrested by the Ministry five minutes afterward.
"Hermione, sit down and enjoy dinner!" Harry said pointing to a sit beside him.
"No, Harry you have to listen! I just figured out who Professor LeBlanc is, and why she has this charm around her----the spell----your daughter arriving early-----the signs!" she spoke so fast that Harry only caught snitches of her conversation.
"Harry, something is going to happen!" Hermione said breathlessly. "You've got to protect your daughter! We have to go get her now!"
"Hermione, she's napping! So cute, don't I have the cutest daughter?" Harry said calmly. "Just calm down. Nothing is wrong."
"Something is wrong, Harry, your daughter was left alone and Cho was sleeping, it's not safe. Something is going to happen. Professor LeBlanc---"
"Professor LeBlanc is enjoying her dinner like the rest of us." Ron said impatiently.
"Where?" Hermione asked and the three friends looked over to the teachers' table. Ironically, Professor LeBlanc's space was empty.
Harry shot up in the air and then looked at Hermione. "What were you saying before?"
"You better get Lilyanne within your sight! I researched the curses and spells. Persona Appeara is only possible through the photograph of a dead person!" Hermione said. "It's Dark Magic! You can only achieve Persona Appeara through someone you've murdered!" She finished and a frightened look fell on her eyes.
"So what's Lilyanne has to do with all this?" Harry said as the three rushed to the hospital wing.
"Professor LeBlanc is practicing dark arts! I think she was the one that made you and Cho----" Hermione stopped. They've reached the hospital wing, but Cho and Lilyanne were gone.
There was an empty crib and Cho's bed was also empty.
"Where is my daughter? Where is Cho?" Harry boomed. "Bloody Merlin!"
"H-Harry…" Ron gave a whimper.
"Where is Lilyanne?" Harry said.
"Not here," hissed a soft voice behind them. Cold, familiar, and full of hatred.
Harry turned to face an insane grin staring down at him. The red slits in his eyes were as vivid as ever, his face one-inch away from Harry's and his wand held tight. A familiar, acute pain sharply burst in Harry's scar.
"Voldemort." Harry whispered.

A/N: Everything, I mean, everything is explained in the next chapter. It's super long. Anyway, I just wanted to let you readers know that I'm not going to be continuing the sequel to this story right away. I'm going to take a short break and write another story first and then, after I finish brain storming, I'll write the sequel. The next long story I'm posting here at fanfiction is about Molly and Arthur and how they got together. (Yes, another fluff story) It has characters in the original Order of the Phoenix and several parents of the Hogwarts' children (ex. Longbottom, Potter, Wood, etc.). It starts from the time of their last year at Hogwarts and continues until Ginny. The writing style is similar to this story.
