Chapter 2 – the history of the Vail

The next couple of days found me in the library trying to learn anything about the Veil. When I haven't found anything I knew the only way was to talk to my former headmaster. So I stopped by my flat first to grab lunch before going to back to Hogwarts. I apparated into the kitchen to find Ron munching on a plate of sandwiches. "Want one?" He asked. I nodded and took one off the plate and started to eat.

"No practice today?" I asked. Ron was drafted as back up keeper for the Cuddly Cannons in our 7th year. It was always his dream to play professional quiditch so I was happy for my best mate.

"Yea, so what have you been up to the last couple of days?" I thought about how to answer, I couldn't very well tell him I was thinking about killing myself to go to Hermione.

"Nothing really, just looking for a job." I lied.

"Why you were accepted as an Auror, that's what you always wanted, wasn't it?" Ron replied.

"It was, a while ago. But now that Voldemort's defeated I figured I've fought enough evil to last me a life time." He seemed satisfied with that answer so I didn't press the issue any farther. "Well I got to go meet with Dumbledore, so I'll see you tomorrow probably." With that I gave him a wink and flooded the Headmasters office.

"Ah, hello there Harry," Professor Dumbledore said. "I was wondering when you would stop by for a chat." He said with his blue eyes twinkling.

"Hello Sir," "Now, now Harry you graduated from Hogwarts you can call me Albus for now on." "Ok, hello Albus, I stopped by to ask you a few things."

"Well proceed, proceed you can ask me anything." The old man replied.

"Ok, the Veil Sirius fell through, where does it take you? What is it there for? And anything else you can tell me about the Veil?" I replied hoping he didn't know what I planned on doing.

"Firstly the Veil is there for killing prisoners. That was before the Dementors and the Dementors kiss. And for where it takes you to, well a world different from ours where demons reign and torture." After seeing the shock look on Harry's face, he kept going, "But there is a way to get to heaven from there, but only those of pure goodness can get there."

"So it's a chance Sirius is still in that world?" asked Harry thinking he can now save Sirius and take him with him to heaven.

"Yes it's a good chance Sirius is there, along with many other pure hearts. There isn't just Demons there but there is also creatures of goodness. And that is all I can tell you about the Veil, there isn't much we know besides this. But may I ask why you wish to know about the Veil?" I didn't answer him, then he said "Go to her Harry though it may be a long hard journey, the payback in the end will be more then worth it."

"Thank you Albus" As I grabbed floo to leave, Albus spoke up "Harry, Godrics sword maybe some good to you once again. And good bye Harry you truly our the most amazing man I've ever met." And with that I was gone back into my flat. I decided to leave right away so I grabbed the essentials, my wand, Godrics sword, and my invisibility cloak. And then I wrote the hardest letter I may ever have to write.

Dear Ron

I'm sorry I won't e able to attend you wedding, but I love her and she needs me, and I need her to. You will make a great husband and an excellent father. Sorry I broke the news to you but Luna told me one night and was scared how you would react. I know you will be excited to be a father. Luna also asked me to be the child's god father, but seeing as how I won't be around, I suggest Hagrid. Just remember Ron all the good time's we shared. I love you Ron and will truly miss you. Tell everyone good bye. I also left everything in my will to you, consider it a wedding gift.

Goodbye,

Harry

It looked good so I set out for the DOM in the Ministry of magic. I slip my cloak on and I'm off. Before I know it I'm standing in front of the Veil. I toss my cloak on the ground and pull out my wand, with my sword attached around the waste. "I'm coming Mione." And I jump through the Veil.

The next day Ron apparated into his flat to find Harry's letter along with his will. Ron just sat down and cried the whole day, until Luna arrived there for dinner to find Ron crying. He just pointed to the letter and Luna read it faster then anything she read before. She comforted Ron, until they left for the Burrow to tell everyone else.

Later that night Lupin stood out by the cliff outside the Burrow. "Good bye Harry, you made me, Sirius and your parents proud. Say hi to Hermione for me." And with a swish of his cloak he was gone.
