H_Potter- Well, when I meant by significant were people that you got attached to, like Hermione and Ron and Harry….the main characters…, I promise that there will be happier moments in the sequel. It starts off with a wedding! (No, it's not Harry's wedding)
Fyre Pixie- This is the last chapter of this story. It leaves a very wide open ending because there are a lot of unanswered questions.
Sugargirl- This story will have a sequel.
Stevethecool- : ( Sorry
Lils- A mixture of sad/anger/anticipation, huh?
Sunshine*girl-Hermione- Even though Mr. Chang was kind of hard on Harry, you can to see that he puts his family before all else and tried to save them. Liliyanne was basically a plot for Voldemort to regain life. : (
Cinderella- There is a sequel. I'm already writing it.
Mega-Archangel- I believe you want me dead, but it would be too unrealistic to have Voldemort gone without sacrifices.
Heather- A wedding is in this chapter! But it's not Harry's or Ron's wedding.
WhiteWizard101- I'm sorry Lilyanne had to die! However, there will be happier moments for Harry later on in life.
Brittney- I don't think I can ever kill off Harry, Hermione or Ron because they are my favorites! And Ron says such cute things…sigh. I know the last chapter was dark, that's why I wasn't going to end it with that.
YTKO- uh….okay…
Fantasyangel- Well, think of it this way. In reality, I actually had 2 people die because Sirius was already dead according to JK Rowling. Also, the two people that died never made an appearance in the real Harry Potter series and so in the real Harry Potter series, Harry's future kids don't exist yet and Cho's dad is probably alive and well.
Cho Potter- I'm glad you thought it was a good chapter even though it was sad. This chapter ends on a much happier note.
LatestSin- Oh yes, Harry does train to be an Auror, but for other reasons…
Aubyn Lin- Well, hopefully after reading this chapter you're happier because it is slightly happier.
raspberryhoneyx101x- I was reading the third book yesterday and I was so sad because Sirius and Harry just had that father/son relationship and Harry deserves to have! Sigh. Yeah, I have trouble with the site too. Sometimes it's working, but sometimes it doesn't load.
Snow-angel- Harry is very, very angry with Dumbledore.
panuru4u- Hmm…I never really thought of how much Voldemort will know about the events in book two, but I always thought that Lucius would tell him to win favor in his eyes because he tried to bring Voldemort back to real life. I mean, every one of Voldemort's supporters claims to be "the supporter above all". Kind of like Hitler, but anyway…. I'm glad you enjoy this story. The sequel starts off with a happy note, and it takes place a few years after this.
Isis Stormwing- Aww…I'm sorry that you feel so sad. : ( But Dumbledore already defeated another Dark Wizard before Voldemort. I don't think he will go to Azkaban for getting rid of Voldemort! Voldemort put Cho and Harry under the Imperius curse for them to conceive a child. Dobby doesn't really know what happens all the time, but he is very useful. You can use an anagram machine on the web. Just search for it. Yes, I said why Voldemort didn't use Ginny. He said Cho would make a better choice because she's the descendent of Ravenclaw. There are a lot of characters added in the fifth book. I'll try to write about them all in the sequel. I know that the Weasleys (all of them) make a scene, and so does a few new people. I'm really glad you like my stories a lot because that means you will read my sequel too! : )
PeZ-yUaN- Harry is going to take a lot of time to grieve before he gets into a relationship. Here is a virtual cookie. *gives virtual cookie*
Shinobu- I wrote and rewrote the last chapter because to be honest, it kind of shocked me too.
Artemis Mog- To make up (or somewhat make up) for the loss of the last chapter, I will include more character favorites in the sequel. No, Mr. Chang isn't going to make an appearance because dead people can't come back to life. If they could, then Harry's parents would be able to rise.
Otter the Mutter the Gutter- To make up for Harry's loss, he will be happier in the sequel.
Lim-cho- I'll read your story now.
Arlawyn- I'm glad you loved it. I hope you like this chapter too.
chris-warren876- Well, if I burned, then I won't be able to post this next chapter up, won't I? I'm sorry for the melancholy deaths, but happiness will come to Harry.
ShortySC22- I'm glad I have a happy reader that. Of course I can't answer your questions because those questions are going to be answered in the sequel. However, keep reading.
Kimberly- Yes, it's probably a 24 hour wait for you to read my next chapter. Hopefully you'll be able to read it soon!
Houou Kazoku-Kaga- What does Lockhart have anything to do with this? G. Lockhart is in St. Mungo's and R. Lockhart was murdered! Anyway, I hope you don't kill me after reading this chapter, because it's slightly happier.
A/N: As I suspected, I've received a handful of howlers because of the last chapter. I've decided to post the next chapter quickly because it's not very long. The sequel I'm writing is basically how Harry copes with what happened. There are a few other small plots that happen and something big happens again. (This may be changed) Also, I've noticed that JK Rowling placed small things in her fifth book. Like in the D.A. chapter when they are learning the Expecto Patronum defense, Seamus (or someone else) had a "hairy animal" and then Hermione had an "otter". Isn't that JK's wry way of saying "Hairy Otter" as a lot of people have made cartoons about it? And also "have a Harry Christmas" by Dobby was also the popular saying last Christmas.

Chapter 33- We'll Meet Again
"Cho!" Mrs. Chang rushed to her daughter.
"Poppy?" Dumbledore turned to the nurse.
"I better see to the girl!" Madam Pomfrey said, shaking with fear. "What happened, Professor?"
"It was Voldemort." Dumbledore said, looking at them all. "Through a curse of Persona Appeara, which I believe, taken through pictures of Lockhart's sister."
"Voldemort?" McGonagall's face turned white. "It was him? You mean, Professor LeBlanc?"
"Minerva, he's gone." Dumbledore replied. "I believe he is finally gone. I had to put him to death or else the lives of everyone there would die."
"Where is Robert?" Mrs. Chang asked. "Where is my husband?"
"Anne," Dumbledore said gravely. "He is gone."
"No! Not Robert, no, Dumbledore, please, tell me there is a mistake!" Mrs. Chang cried.
"I'm sorry, Anne---"
"And my granddaughter---"
"They aren't---" Dumbledore shook his head.
"He murdered my daughter!" Harry, full of hot anger, pointed to Dumbledore. "The man I thought was the noblest of all wizards, of all people….whom have seen through judgement and…he killed her."
"What?" Mrs. Chang whispered. "Surely you didn't, Dumbledore."
"When I killed Voldemort, Lilyanne died with him. They were sharing one life at that time."
"Harry?" Hermione whispered. "Harry, it wasn't Dumbledore's fault, he was trying to save our lives."
"Cho has lost so many…" Harry said, growing with anger. But Harry was also experiencing something new. Something strange. He left the hospital wing and rushed off to be alone.
He didn't care where he was going.
He walked quickly, and then suddenly found himself in a classroom he had never seen before. It took a moment for him to realize it was the Room of Requirements.
And there it was.
The mirror of Erised.
"What I want the most…is my daughter to come back….I want to see her…" Harry whispered, and approached the mirror.
But what he saw was different. He saw a woman and a grown man with very untidy hair…possibly him…they were smiling. The woman leaned upon Harry's shoulder….
* *
The wedding was a week later.
Rowena Ravenclaw had found Godric. Their bodies were mists of silver. She was hidden in the forbidden forest with no hope, wishing she were dead and finding comfort in memories….
As she floated down the aisle, the two lovers finished a love affair that lasted nearly ten centuries.
The two souls joined together…
Cho was applauding politely, but she was still grieving...she couldn't be happy, not without her father…
Harry was beside her, he watched as the two ghosts smile at each other. Godric touched Rowena's cheek.
"I would've forgiven you, Rowena. It doesn't matter if the child was Salazar's." He said.
"But Godric…" Rowena broke off. "I love you."
"Me too."
Hermione and Ron grieved with Harry and Cho. They applauded quietly.
Dumbledore stood in the crowd with a grave face. Perhaps someday Harry can forgive him, as for today, Harry, who will grow up to be perhaps a wizard as great as Dumbledore refused to forgive.
Fred and George Weasley, through the events that have occurred, forgot about their petty fight. There were some things more important than fighting over a girl. Like having your brother, your best friend….
They were standing next to the Weasley family, whom joined in the applause as Godric and Rowena descended from the aisle.
The congregation stood to Godric and Rowena, as the lovers rose and flew over the horizon for their honeymoon.
"Are they coming back, Albus?" Professor McGonagall asked.
"Perhaps, or perhaps they want to spend eternity together, alone." Dumbledore answered quietly. "Minerva…" He turned to face the woman.
It was as if Minerva McGonagall knew what was coming. "Excuse me, Dumbledore, I must see, how, how the staff is doing." McGonagall said weakly and walked away briskly.
Hagrid and Madam Maxime were together, smiling at the new couple. Hagrid looked over to Harry and without speaking, Harry understood Hagrid's sympathy.
" 'Agrid, ven vill ve be as lucky as Godric and Rovena?" Madam Maxime hinted.
Hagrid's eyes brimmed with tears. "Yeh mean, yeh accept meh proposal?"
Madam Maxime nodded, smiling.
"Cho?" Harry said, facing the girl who was trembling.
"Yes, Harry?" Cho replied, trying to stand firm.
"Do you still want to be my wife, even without Lilyanne?"
There was a pause.
"Harry, you don't love me." Cho said. "Remember, you were only engaged to me because you had to?"
Her eyes shifted over to the Weasleys. Ginny was watching them talk, and then blushing, turned away.
Harry saw this.
"Cho, it doesn't matter…in light of the recent events, and the things we've gone through…don't you think we're a good match? Your ancestor was Rowena, mine was Godric?"
"We're too young to get married, Harry." Cho said. "I don't want you to marry me out of pity…out of…I don't know. Perhaps, one day, if we're meant for each other, we will."
"Where are you going to go next year?" Harry asked.
"Perhaps I'll try to get a job at the Ministry. I need time alone; it's really been too much for me. My father…and Lilyanne…" Cho broke off. "Do what makes you happy, Harry. You've always had such a good heart. I love you, you know. You're a very noble wizard."
"Don't go," Harry said urgently.
"Good-bye, Harry."
"We must see each other again." Harry said, touching her arm.
"Oh, I believe we will see each other again, Harry. Good luck." Cho replied with a faint smile. Then, she walked through the crowd and away with Mrs. Chang.

A/N: There's a sequel. However, I'm still in the process of writing it and it won't be posted for awhile. The next story I'm posting on fanfiction is on Molly and Arthur. There will be one last chapter after this: my response to your reviews of this chapter. Hope you all have enjoyed the story!
