Chapter 14: Merlin First Class
Katie Potter had just arrived in Diagon Alley. Her husband, Harry Potter, stood next to her, holding her hand and keeping a close eye on everyone. This was the first time Katie had gone out in public since she had woken up and Harry suspected a lot of media to show up when word got out. Harry held Katie close to him and turned to whisper to her.
"Let's go to Madam Malkin's before the media gets here," Harry said as she smiled and nodded.
They had come to get Katie dressrobes for Harry's award presentation. Katie had, of course, forced Harry to write back and tell them he accepted the award. So when Katie started complaining she was going to have nothing to wear to the event, Harry decided he should take her shopping. Luna and Neville were watching the kids for a couple of hours so they were free for the time being.
"It is so good to be out of the castle," she said as they approached Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occassions.
"I have been wondering, Katie, if you decided to go back to Hogwarts." Harry asked as he opened the door for her.
"Yeah, I have put thought into it," she said walking through, Harry following right behind her.
"So what are you planning on doing?" Harry stopped, making Katie stop with him.
"I don't know yet Harry. Let's talk about this when we get back," she said as Harry smiled and nodded.
They walked around Madam Malkin's until she found something she liked. They found light blue dressrobes that Harry thought would look absolutely beautiful on her.
"Go try it on. I'll get the attendant to come fit it," Harry said as Katie smiled and walked into the fitting room.
Harry's eyes flashed as he looked towards the room she just went through. Harry laughed to himself as he walked towards the dressing room. He pushed the door open to the dressing room open to get a loud shriek from Katie. Harry just laughed as he shut the door.
"Harry what are you doing in here?" Katie said covering up because she already had her shirt off.
"What do you think?" Harry said with a smirk, walking over to her and kissing her.
"Harry, this is so not like you," Katie said as Harry wrapped her arms around her and began kissing her on the neck.
"Well, I almost lost you Katie," Harry said. "It made me realize a lot..." Harry said stopping.
Katie only smiled and kissed him.
"Now get out," she said pointing to the door.
"Fine," Harry said with a fake sigh, leaving the dressing room.
Harry walked over to the counter and called for the lady.
"Excuse me. My wife needs to get a dressrobe fitted," Harry said as the lady nodded vigorously.
"Of course Mr. Potter. My name is Rebecca Taft," she said sticking out her hand that Harry shook politely.
The attendant walked off towards the dressing room and Harry followed.
"Are you ready Mrs. Potter?" the attendant asked knocking on the door.
"Just a second," she called out from behind the door.
"Come Katie, we might be able to get out of here before the press if you hurry," Harry said looking out the window to see the street relatively quiet.
"I am almost done," she said as the door clicked open and Katie walked out.
Harry's heart seemed to stop when he saw her. She was so beautiful.
"It seems to fit fine," she said rubbing her hands down her thighs.
"Yeah, you look beautiful, what do you think Mr. Potter?" the attendant asked looking over to Harry.
Harry did not say anything. He just kept looking at her with his mouth hanging open slightly. Katie walked over to him smiling and gave him a hug, closing his mouth in the process.
"I'll take that as a yes. We'll take it," Katie said as Harry smiled down on her.
She changed quickly and they paid, trying to get out as fast as possible. Harry smiled as they walked out of the shop to see no reporters, but only people doing their usual shopping.
"Crap," Harry said as suddenly thirty or so reporters apparated not to far away.
One reporter saw them and pointed the rest of them toward Harry and Katie.
"Aww, I thought we wouldn't have to deal with them," she said, irritation sharp in her voice as the reporters began to walk towards.
Harry took her hand and began to walk towards the reporters as if they were not there. He had gotten good at ignoring them during the years. The reporters were approaching quickly. Suddenly an intense force hit Harry and Katie, sending them flying to the ground, as there was a loud BOOM! Harry covered Katie up and looked towards where the explosion came from.
"OH MY GOD LOOK!" One of the reporters shrieked out pointing toward Madam Malkin's.
Harry turned to find Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions burning to the ground, but that was not what the reporter was screaming at. It was what was above it.
I am coming for you Potter.
Harry let out a wild scream upon reading the message. Harry stood up and helped Katie up. He waved his hand and she disappeared with a loud POP! Harry did not want her hurt. He ran towards the shop and with the wave of his hand sent gallons of water onto the shop. Now that the fire was put out, Harry ran into the shop. He searched the area for what he was looking for. He found it towards the back of the shop. Rebecca Taft lay there, dead.
.........
Harry lay on his bed, Harry Jr. and Virginia curled up against him. It had been a long day. Harry had stuck around at Diagon Alley for a long time after the explosion and found out that it was indeed this mysterious man that was killing muggles. Katie was angry with him for sending her back to the castle without even letting her know what was going on and being gone all day so she decided to sleep in another room.
Harry got up, moving slowly so he would not wake the children. He gave both of the toddlers a kiss on the forehead and wrapped them up in a blanket. Harry walked out of the room and went into the room next to it. He found Katie sitting up awake. She just glared at Harry as he walked in.
"Is there any need for that?" Harry asked from where he stood.
"Leave me alone. I'm mad at you," she said holding her gaze.
"Listen, I'm sorry. I just didn't want to you to get hurt. I was scared," he said walking over towards her and sitting on the bed.
"I was scared too, but you didn't see me sending you away," she said as tears formed in her eyes.
"Sorry," he said quietly bowing his head.
Katie scooted over to him and punched him hard in the arm. Harry turned to see that Katie had a smile on her face and wrapped his arms around her. She placed her head on his chest and Harry felt relief come over him quickly because of her presence.
Of course, the story broke out in the paper the next day, but Harry only skimmed through it. It pretty much said what happened. They went on a shopping trip, not knowing they were being followed, someone blew up the Madam Malkin's Robes For All Occasions and killed Rebecca Taft. It had the exact details of the message, "I am coming for you Potter" in a picture on the paper. It also had the details of how Harry sent Katie home and put out the fire.
Remus only found out that morning, after a long night of drinking. When he did, he ran out of his corridors and to find Harry. He ran as quickly as possible into Harry's corridors and found Harry sitting at the table with Neville and Luna. The toddlers all sat in a different high chair, smiling when Remus ran into the room.
"Are you okay? I just read the news," Remus said trying to catch his breath.
"We are fine Remus. Please sit and have a bite," Katie said from the stove.
"No thank you, I already ate," Remus said taking a seat anyway.
"As I was saying, I spoke to the Taft family and apologized. They were pretty angry, but they didn't seem to blame me even though I sort of put the blame on myself," Harry said sadly to Neville.
"Do you know when the funeral is going to be?" Neville asked as Harry just shook his head.
"But I am going to keep in touch with the Tafts and find out," Harry said nodding as Neville just put a comforting hand on his shoulder.
"You shouldn't blame yourself Harry," everyone said at the same time.
"You should blame who ever this guy is that is attacking people." Neville finished up.
"Was it the same guy that is killing muggles?" Remus asked suspiciously as Harry nodded.
"I am pretty sure it was," Harry said as Remus's eyes went wide.
"Are you sure this man isn't Voldemort?" Luna asked in her usual dreamy voice although she was really quite serious.
"No Voldemort is dead. I know that for sure," Harry said as Luna only nodded.
"But it could be one of Voldemort's followers that got away," Remus said seriously as Harry's eyes hardened.
"I thought all of his followers were dead when he died," Harry asked as Remus shook his head.
"No Harry, all of the people that burned the Dark Mark in the battlefield died. The people in Azkaban and the people who weren't part of the battle that had the Dark Mark still lived and he had tons of followers that didn't have the mark," Remus said disbelievingly.
'I thought he would know this,' Remus thought to himself.
"So you are telling me Draco Malfoy is still alive? And James Morrison?" Harry asked as his eyes began to burn a fire.
Draco Malfoy was his worst enemy and was the reason he was put in jail. James Morrison was a Death Eater as well. Remus only nodded his head.
"Yes, and Bellatrix Lestrange, who was caught by the Order a couple days before the battle," Remus said as Harry felt a wave of anger flow through him as his face began to turn red with anger.
"I need to be alone," Harry said quickly leaving the room.
Harry transformed in to his phoenix form once he was out of sight, and began to fly towards the open window. He went through the window and continued to fly. He did not know where he was going, but it did not stop him from going.
.........
Harry couldn't believe he didn't know that Draco Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange had not died. It was like a knife in his heart to know they were still alive after everything they had done. Harry was an Auror and should have known, but Harry had never returned to Azkaban after he was released. He had always let Ricky take the prisoners he caught to Azkaban.
Several days had passed since he had found out, but he still could not get over the feeling of disgust in the pit of his stomach. It was the day he was going to receive the award and title of Merlin, First Class in front of most of the Wizarding World of London, but instead of being happy he felt sick. Remus could not believe Harry never knew they were still alive so he really did not feel sorry for him. Actually his exact words were, "Deal with it. I am."
Harry had attended Rebecca Taft's funeral two days before. It had not improved his mood either. Like a funeral would. It was one of the saddest places Harry had ever been. The number of people was huge. Neville and Luna along with Remus attended it with him.
At the moment, Katie was getting Harry Jr. and Virginia ready to go to the ceremony. Harry was fixing his all black dressrobes. Harry had picked that color because that was type of mood he was in. Harry really did not like dressrobes, but he was told he had to wear them. Many people were attending the ceremony. Albus Dumbledore would be the giving him the award because he was leader of Wizengamot. A knock on the door brought Harry out of his thoughts.
"Ready to go?" Katie asked softly as Harry nodded.
"Okay. I will activate the Portkey they sent us. Just meet us in the kitchen," she said with a smile as Harry smiled back.
She was the one thing that could get him to smile besides Harry Jr. and Virginia. Harry checked to see if everything was in place and then headed to the door. He walked into the kitchen to find Neville and Luna with Jeremy, Remus, Ricky, and Winton and his family. They all stood in a circle around Katie.
"Once you touch it, Harry, we will be on our way," Katie said as Harry ran over and picked up Harry Jr..
Remus had picked up Virginia.
"Let's go," Harry said grabbing hold of the Portkey.
Harry felt the unusual pull and with a swirl of colors the group was gone. They arrived in a spacious room. Harry, Remus and Neville all remained standing with the kids as everyone else fell to the ground. Harry helped Katie up and looked around the room.
"I wonder where we are," Harry asked as the door burst open.
"Oh great, you guys are here!" said someone Harry didn't know. "You guys should go take your seats. You are about to get your award in like, two minutes," the man said looking at his watch as he ushered the group out.
Katie gave Harry a hug and kiss on the cheek.
"See you after the ceremony," she said as the man shut the door behind him.
"Hello, my name is Gregory Stable. I am a Merlin, Third Class. I would have introduced myself to everyone else, but we are in a hurry," Gregory said sticking out his hand that Harry shook.
"Sorry for running late," Harry said as Gregory shook his head.
"You weren't late. You arrived exactly when we wanted you too. When your name is called, come out to the stage which is right outside this door," Gregory said as Harry nodded.
Gregory left the room seemingly on other business. Harry was surprised that he was getting awarded so soon. Harry sat down in one of the chairs that was in the corner of the room and rubbed his hands over his head. He did not really want to be here.
"Harry Potter!" Albus Dumbledore's voice rang out taking Harry by surprise.
'Well here it is,' Harry thought standing up and walking towards the door.
He made it out of the room and went straight towards the stage. When he walked out from behind the curtain, grand applause broke out throughout the room. Harry could see Katie and everyone else in the front row. The crowd was massive and Harry had not seen so many Wizards since the Quidditch World Cup in his fourth year. He did not realize that he had stopped and looked at the crowd. He turned red with embarrassment and walked towards Dumbledore and shook his hand.
"This is a grand day for Wizengamot. Harry Potter is an inspirational man that deserves this award more than anyone I know," Albus began.
'Well this is it,' Harry thought to himself smiling down at Katie and his kids. 'This isn't too bad,' Harry thought to himself as everything else turned into a blur.

The final chapter is upon us... Next chapter will be the last and possibly the longest... You will get a lot of answers in this next chap so stay tuned... Please read and review... and Thanks again to my fabulous beta who I don't give enough credit too... Thank you very much...
