CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE- The Beginning Of Our End (Harry's
point of view)
The next few days before Saturday was tense. We were nervous, and unsure. Ron seemed pretty upset over finding out the truth about Peggy. Or Alexia. Or Vanessa. Whichever you preferred to call her. I felt a bit sorry for her, though. She didn't have a true name, she couldn't remember her real last name, or even what her twin brothers real name was.
Those of us who had gone to the I.W.A. were immensely subdued (and still shocked that the most important and powerful being was a CARTOON DOG?!?!!?!?!!?!?!). We didn't really talk to anyone else. Dean, Donnie, Seamus, and Neville got a bit mad at us but oh well.
Finally it was Saturday.
The day of the attack.
Dumbledore, Sirius and the whole rest of them were gone all day. I was apprehensive about their return. We all were. Filch yelled angrily at us and gave us detention for waiting at the front doors all evening.
"Think they'll be back in the morning?" Ron asked that night as we got dressed for bed.
"I hope so." I said quietly and tried to get to sleep.
***
"WHAT?!" We shrieked.
"I SAID nothing happened! No one showed up!" Sirius said, kicking the wall.
Later that day we talked about it. We all looked at Ron and Malfoy, our two sources. "You guys said---"
"Arva lied." Ron said with a shrug. "We should of expected that."
"No, it was supposed to happen yesterday. All the Death Eater kids seemed furious last night." Malfoy said, arms folded and a scowl on his face.
"Maybe Voldemort found out that their attack was known." I suggested.
"Maybe." Peggy said, chewing at her bottom lip and an odd look on her face. "But it doesn't seem to collaborate with Voldemort. I mean, he wouldn't mind a full-blown battle in a huge Muggle city."
"Think it was all a charade?" Ron asked as he stroked her hair. We were sitting at the Gryffindor table a little before lunch. No one seemed to notice or care that Draco Malfoy was sitting with us Gryffindors.
"Maybe. He could of done it to get our knickers in a twist." Hermione said.
"Yeah, have us expecting this huge blow against London any minute. And then weeks, months, or years later when everyone isn't expecting it- boom." Lupus muttered, staring at us from behind his bangs.
"Maybe something distracted him." Luna offered as a suggestion.
"Like what, a giant prairie dog?" Peggy asked. "Er, sorry. Its a quote from a movie I, uh, li... never mind."
"Well, no use discussing this. We don't know what happened, and that's that." I said with a heavy sigh.
*** (Peggy's point of view)
I should of never told Ron any of it. I should of never gotten back together with him after I found out I was pregnant. I should of, I should of, I should of. What was Ron going to do now? Well I certainly wasn't taking him away from his friends and family. I refused to do that. They needed him more then I needed him.
"Peggy." I opened my eyes and saw Robert.
"Hello Robert." I said.
"No hash comment?"
"I don't feel like exchanging nasty remarks with you right away." I said, sighing unhappily.
"Because of that regu."
"Yes."
"I told you, Peg. I warned you." He said, folding his arms. I closed my eyes and tears dropped onto my lap.
"You were right. I should of never begun to date him."
"You're actually agreeing to something I said? You must be sick." Robert sat down next to me.
"I should of never come here. I should of left after Amy was killed." I said. Robert put his arms around me, and I sobbed into his shoulder. "I'm stupid."
"No, Peggy, you aren't. He still has the choice."
"No! I refuse to make him do that!" I said, pulling away. "Ron's friends and family need him more then I do."
"So what are you going to do?"
"I don't know, Robert." I whispered. He wrapped his arms around me and we rocked back and forth. Me weeping, him comforting.
"Peggy?"
"Yes?"
"You can call me dad if you want."
*** (Hermione's point of view)
"What are your holiday plans?" Jasmine asked as we sat around a library table. When I say 'we' I meant Harry, Ron, Jasmine, Peggy, Luna, Lupus, Ginny, and Malfoy. Oh and me ofcourse.
"Sirius got a house. I'll be living with him for July." Harry said. "Then Sirius and Trixie are getting married early August so I'll stay with the Weasleys then."
"I'm visiting Viktor for most of it. I'll be back a week before school starts again." I said happily, pulling the photo of Viktor out of my robes pocket and stared down into his smiling face.
"Draco and I are going to visit my family in America, then stay with the Lupin's for the rest of the summer." Jasmine said.
"Yeah, especially since that'll be when mum has our brother or sister and we'll need some help." Luna said.
"You still don't know whether its going to be a girl or boy?" I asked.
"They say girl but you can never be sure till it's born." Lupus pointed out.
"Have they figured out a name?" Ginny asked.
"If it's a girl her name is going to be Areli." Luna said.
"And if its a boy, Zacheriah." Lupus said.
"What about you guys?" Luna asked Ron and Peggy.
"Oh, we haven't figure out any names yet." Peggy said quietly.
"Well I figured out two names but she doesn't like them." Ron said. Peggy rolled her eyes.
"What are you going to do about school when------you know." I asked her. "The baby is born.."
"I don't know." Peggy said with a shrug. "I'm tired, I'm going to take a nap." She kissed Ron's cheek and went off.
***
I sat down on my bed and looked over at Peggy. "Peg, is anything wrong?"
"What do you mean?" Peggy asked as she nibbled crackers.
"You seem a bit subdued lately. Is it because we found out the truth?" I asked.
"No."
"Then why is it?"
"Its hard you for you to understand, Herms." She said, turning her glasses over in her hands.
"Try me."
Peggy put her glasses back on (I wondered if she needed them) and stared at me. "You'll understand later. I promise you will." She said, voice cracking slightly.
*** (Jasmine's point of view)
Jason floated through the door and I hopped to my feet. "Well?"
"Nothing." He said, sitting down. "I searched the whole place. Empty."
"He must of packed up and moved." I said with a sigh. I had sent Jason to Voldemort's castle (he inquired from other ghosts about where it was) but he promised it was empty.
I sighed and stretched out on my bed, wondering what the heck was going on.
***
Over the first two weeks of June, nothing happened. No attacks from Voldemort, or any sign of him at that. It made me a bit more nervous with the fact he wasn't doing anything then when he was.
"Only two more weeks until the Holidays." I informed Draco.
"Yeah." Draco said with a slight shrug. "I don't think your parents like me."
"Oh, who cares?" I asked with a giggle. Draco ran his slender fingers through my hair and kissed my cheek.
"Only one more year and we're out of school." He said.
"I know. What do you want to do when we get out?"
"I have no clue. Maybe play Quidditch." He said, rubbing my back. We were curled up outside under a tree. "What about you?"
"I don't know, either."
"Have you ever given thought to..."
"To?"
"To us." He said quietly.
"Us?"
"Us."
"What do you mean 'us'?"
"Us-us. Us as a couple."
I looked into his serious face. "Are you looking for a specific answer to a specific meaning of that specific question?"
"Maybe." He said, staring into my eyes with his gray ones.
"And is the specific meaning of that specific question specifically have to do with a specific thing couples become when they are a specific age?"
"Maybe."
"Are you asking if I thought we could ever get married?"
"Erm." Draco said, getting pink tints in his cheeks.
"Draco, I really love you but I'm only fifteen right now. I don't know." I said and he looked slightly worried.
"I'm sorry if I offended you."
"No, no. I'm just saying I don't know yet. I mean, I'll be sixteen when I graduate out of school and so, you know, even if I did know if we could be married we would have to wait."
"I'd wait forever for you." Draco said, his fingers gently going down my face. I smiled and kissed him, feeling like the luckiest girl alive to have such a wonderful man.
***
It was the end of the year. Gryffindor won the Quidditch cup, as well as the House Cup. And soon it was time for everyone to be going home.
"This has been one amazing year." Ginny said as she, Lupus, Luna, Harry, Jasmine, Draco, Ron, Hermione, and a silent Peggy shared a compartment. Hermione pulled strings so it was a roomy Prefect compartment and they fit. Sort of. Jasmine was in Draco's lap, Ginny was in Lupus's, Peggy was in Ron's lap (and he had a slight look of pain).
"Yeah, its so different from last year." Harry said.
"I wouldn't know, I was dead when it was time to go home." Ron said, casually flicking back some of his long red hair.
"Every year it's different." Hermione said. "Every year a new adventure, a new close encounter with the deadly kind, and so many changes."
"And next year is our last." Harry said sadly.
"Yeah." Ron said, combing Peggy's hair with his fingers. She was so obviously pregnant now. Harry guessed that was why Ron had a slight look of pain on his face.
"I wonder what changes await us next year." Hermione pondered out loud.
"I'll be a father?" Ron asked and the others snorted with laughter.
"I wonder who our last DADA teacher will be."
"Dunno, Har." Ron replied with a shrug.
They continued the rest of the trip in silent. When they dragged their things off the train, they saw their parents/godparents to greet them. The first to leave were the Lupins'. Luna kissed Harry goodbye, Lupus kissed Ginny goodbye, and Remus started to kiss Sirius goodbye but Sirius whacked him over the head with his brolly.
Jasmine's adopted parents were there (apparently they decided to take a bit of a holiday so they would be going back to America the next day). Jasmine hugged Harry goodbye and she and Draco left.
Viktor Krum swooped Hermione up in his arms (apparently she was going straight to Bulgaria). Hermione hugged Harry, Ron, and Peggy goodbye before going off with Viktor.
Since Sirius had bought a house quite near the Weasleys, they were all going together. After Molly and Arthur assured Peggy they were not mad at her ('It's completely my son's fault, anyway' Arthur insisted) and said she could come by any time, day or night.
"Thank you." Peggy said, staring at the platform. "Ron, can we talk alone?"
"Of course." Ron said. Harry and the Weasleys as well as Sirius and Trixie, went to wait on the other side of the barrier.
"Ron." Peggy said.
"Are you going to come visit me over July and August?" Ron asked.
"I don't know if I could." Peggy said with a frown.
"What's wrong?"
"Ron, the I.W.A. has put me up to the three choices."
"You mean---"
"Yes. They refuse to let me go free so-"
"Either we leave each other forever, or I leave everything." Ron said quietly.
"Ron,"
"Peg." Ron said, putting his finger up to her lips.
"Ron, no. Please, I don't want you to do this."
"Peggy, I love you!" Ron said, wrapping his arms around her large waist.
"I love you too, Ron." She said, sniffling. "That's why I have to do this."
"No!" Ron shouted, holding her tightly (but not too tightly, he did not want to hurt her or the baby).
"Your friends and family need you more then I do."
Ron was shaking slightly now. "But I need YOU! And the baby needs me!"
"Ron, I'm sorry."
"No, Peggy, I'll leave them."
"You can't." Peggy said, closing her eyes. It hurt her so much to do this but she had to. "They need you, and you need them."
"But I need you even more." Ron said weakly.
Peggy pushed away from him. "I love you."
"Peggy don't leave! You'll be back for the school year?"
"I can't." Peggy whispered.
"No, no, no. Don't do this, Peg."
"I'm sorry."
"I'll go with you!"
"You can't! I refuse to let you! Ron, I never wanted to force you into this decision."
"I don't CARE!" Ron shouted, stamping his foot.
"But I DO! Making you stay with me in the I.W.A. would be like locking a wild animal in a cage."
"Peggy..." Ron said, staring into her eyes.
"I am going to Apparate in a minute."
"And then you'll be gone forever?"
"From your life." Peggy's voice was cracking.
"No." Ron grabbed her hands. "NO!"
"It's for the best, Ron. My father was right. Our relationship was not meant to be."
"I WON'T LET YOU!"
"Ron." Peggy stroked his hair, and kissed him gently on the lips. "I love you."
Ron grabbed for her arm, but she Disapparated.
Ron stood on the platform, alone. "Peggy?"
He staggered backwards, feeling like his whole world crashed like a glass ball around him. He banged into the wall and slid down. Ron folded his arms on top of his knees, buried his face in his arms, and cried.
*** (Harry's point of view)
That was how we found him. Pushed against the far wall, crying into his arms. "Ron?" I asked. He didn't reply. "Ron, what happened?"
"Leave me alone." He croaked out.
"Ron, what happened?"
"She's gone."
"Peggy? You'll see her la-"
"No!" Ron said, looking up at me. "She's gone. She didn't want to make me leave you and my family."
"Oh." I said, slowly sinking to my knees. "I'm sorry."
"She's gone, Harry. The only girl I've ever loved. How could she do this? I was willing to go with her to the I.W.A. Damned I.W.A."
"Ron, I'm sorry." I repeated. I felt so horrible for him.
Ron buried his head in his arms again, and cried some more. Unsure what to do, I patted his back. He threw his arms around me and cried onto my head (he was too tall to reach my shoulder). "Ron, this isn't exactly-er-never mind." I guided him through the barrier and explained what happened (leaving out the I.W.A.) to the Weasleys, Sirius, and Trixie.
"How could she do this to me?" Ron asked later that night.
"I am so sorry, Ron." I said. I had no clue what to do!
"I need to be alone." He said in a hollow voice, and went upstairs.
"I can't believe Peggy just left him like that." Ginny said, coming up next to me.
"I know." I said, wondering what had gotten into her.
"Think she'll be back?" Ginny asked me.
"Let's hope so." I muttered. "for Ron's sake."
A/N
Ha! There is the sequel like I promised. It's not very good, I know.
Poor Ron! Yes I know, I am so mean to him! You might be surprised to find out he is my favorite character. *gasps* yes he is! Oh, and in the third book you find out some more interesting things about his side affects (Some bits involving more Animagus). Um. some questions you might have might be answered in the third book. Anyway, I need to make a note right here.
Bert Sallis is based on the best movie/TV/book character ever made into existence. Bert Gummer from the 'Tremors' Trilogy. Muahahahahahahaha I LOVE BERT!
And as for Droopy... I love Droopy!!!! I am a big time Droopy fan!
And as for Mickey... Mickey was my most popular character I ever invented. You can read about Jarveys in 'Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them'. Mickey is a special Jarvey and has the talent of being able to talk perfectly well even though he still is pretty rude-and he will have a comeback (bigger, better and ruder!) in the third book!
And will Peggy come back? You'll find out.
Though I don't like the stories, I'll post up the chapters for the THIRD book.
AD: Coming soon. to a fanfiction site near you.
It's Harry's Seventh and Final year! But things are starting to get weirder by the minute. Then something happens that is so totally amazing there is no words to describe it.
And who will win the war of good versus evil which begins in this story?
Harry Potter and the Seventh Year
The next few days before Saturday was tense. We were nervous, and unsure. Ron seemed pretty upset over finding out the truth about Peggy. Or Alexia. Or Vanessa. Whichever you preferred to call her. I felt a bit sorry for her, though. She didn't have a true name, she couldn't remember her real last name, or even what her twin brothers real name was.
Those of us who had gone to the I.W.A. were immensely subdued (and still shocked that the most important and powerful being was a CARTOON DOG?!?!!?!?!!?!?!). We didn't really talk to anyone else. Dean, Donnie, Seamus, and Neville got a bit mad at us but oh well.

"Think it was all a charade?" Ron asked as he stroked her hair. We were sitting at the Gryffindor table a little before lunch. No one seemed to notice or care that Draco Malfoy was sitting with us Gryffindors.
"Maybe. He could of done it to get our knickers in a twist." Hermione said.
"Yeah, have us expecting this huge blow against London any minute. And then weeks, months, or years later when everyone isn't expecting it- boom." Lupus muttered, staring at us from behind his bangs.
"Maybe something distracted him." Luna offered as a suggestion.
"Like what, a giant prairie dog?" Peggy asked. "Er, sorry. Its a quote from a movie I, uh, li... never mind."
"Well, no use discussing this. We don't know what happened, and that's that." I said with a heavy sigh.

"I am so sorry, Ron." I said. I had no clue what to do!
"I need to be alone." He said in a hollow voice, and went upstairs.
"I can't believe Peggy just left him like that." Ginny said, coming up next to me.
"I know." I said, wondering what had gotten into her.
"Think she'll be back?" Ginny asked me.
"Let's hope so." I muttered. "for Ron's sake."
A/N
Ha! There is the sequel like I promised. It's not very good, I know.
Poor Ron! Yes I know, I am so mean to him! You might be surprised to find out he is my favorite character. *gasps* yes he is! Oh, and in the third book you find out some more interesting things about his side affects (Some bits involving more Animagus). Um. some questions you might have might be answered in the third book. Anyway, I need to make a note right here.
Bert Sallis is based on the best movie/TV/book character ever made into existence. Bert Gummer from the 'Tremors' Trilogy. Muahahahahahahaha I LOVE BERT!
And as for Droopy... I love Droopy!!!! I am a big time Droopy fan!
And as for Mickey... Mickey was my most popular character I ever invented. You can read about Jarveys in 'Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them'. Mickey is a special Jarvey and has the talent of being able to talk perfectly well even though he still is pretty rude-and he will have a comeback (bigger, better and ruder!) in the third book!
And will Peggy come back? You'll find out.
Though I don't like the stories, I'll post up the chapters for the THIRD book.
AD: Coming soon. to a fanfiction site near you.
It's Harry's Seventh and Final year! But things are starting to get weirder by the minute. Then something happens that is so totally amazing there is no words to describe it.
And who will win the war of good versus evil which begins in this story?
Harry Potter and the Seventh Year
