A/N

Thanks to all who wrote in and reviewed, keep up the good work. The ideas that have come through reviews though I don't think I can use them, I might use them partially, but I am not sure yet. I know I have errors and stuff, but to be honest I don't have time for someone to check it over. And if anyone from my school except for a select few found out I was writing this I would be condemned to a solitary social life! Ok so on with the story!

Chapter Ten

Suddenly all eyes were on a very pink person, Harry. Harry was in shock he looked upon his hand as if he had never seen it before…

"But- how-how could I? I only talked to him once after…" Harry's eyes darkened and he turned his face down. Willow had thought it might go something like this, but no one knew what to say. As if on cue a thundering of students heading their way was heard. Dumbledore quickly asked most of the teachers to go and keep the students away from the bathroom. Now the only living people left were; Harry, Hermione, Ron, Willow, Dumbledore, Cordy, and Angel. A silence hung over them.

"I think we should move away from this place to talk in private." Dumbledore said breaking the silence. "I think my office would be best." People nodded to him. To spare questions Willow decided to teleport them there.

"This may feel weird," Willow said addressing the group, they turned and faced Willow, "Just grab onto something afterwards." With that her eyes and hair turned darker shades. All of them felt very dizzy and then their stomachs felt as though they had been kicked in. they all grabbed for something to hang onto. Willow just stood patiently, clutching the box from Neville. Dumbledore didn't seem to indicate any feeling of pain. Dumbledore sat at his desk and the room divided. On one side was the trio, then on the opposite side was Willow, in the middle was Angel and Cordy. Willow decided to go lay of the land for a sec.

Albus, are we going to tell Harry the truth? Willow asked Dumbledore. He looked mildly shocked.

I guess it is up to you Willow, but I must warn you that keeping Harry and his friends in the dark has been done before and with dire consequences I might add. I was reluctant to this undercover operation but I thought it would be all for the best. Revealing itself is up to you. Dumbledore replied. Harry and Co. were wondering what was happening Dumbledore and Willow were looking at each other intently. Suddenly Willow looked at Angel and Cordy.

Guys, should we tell the trio over there about me? And our whole undercover deal? Willow asked. The trio were getting impatient. Ron was the first to speak up.

"What the bleeding hell is going on!?" Ron yelled. Hermione didn't bother chastising him for swearing.

"Mr. Weasley there is no reason to yell…" Angel said trying to calm him.

"No reason to yell! Neville is dead! And Allyson, if that is her real name, can teleport us in the blink of an eye. And god knows what else she can do. And another thing who the blazes was Halfrek?!" Ron screamed his face becoming redder.

"Halfrek was an old friend of a friend." Said Willow looking up, "She is a justice demon, she grants wishes."

"How would you know some one like Halfrek?" Hermione said accusingly.

"That story is for another time…" Willow said her eyes dropping to the ground.

"Fine, but who are you? Is your real name Allyson Hannigan?" Ron said to Willow his eyes set on her face. Willow looked at Angel and Cordy for guidance.

I should tell him shouldn't I? Willow said telepathically to Angel and Cordy.

Yeah you should… said Angel.

Get ready for a lot of yelling Cordy said turning back to the trio.

"Well?" Hermione said apprehensively.

"I'm well, my name is Willow Rosenberg." She said. Harry immediately looked up his eyes a mix of emotion. "I came to England, for, for a change. I didn't know I would end up here. In this place. Yes Harry I am the woman who lives on your street. I didn't know anything about you till ages after I met you."

"You, you have lied to me, you deceived me." Harry said, his voice filled with contempt.

"I also played a part in this, we meant her to be for your protection…"Dumbledore tried to explain.

"Protection, what am I a baby? I don't need protection! And can you please get me back to normal!" Harry said his voice raising.

"Only Halfrek can get you back to normal. HALFREK!"

A whirl of smoke swirled in front of Dumbledore's desk.

"What?" Halfrek said irritated.

"Can you break the spell?" Willow asked.

"Already?" Halfrek said surprised.

"Yes Halfrek, just break the spell…" Cordy said.

"Do I have to; I just want him to suffer for a bit more…" Halfrek whined.

"Halfrek…" Willow said her voice rising.

"Fine, fine let the spell be ended. Just once I would like one of my spells on you people to last a while…well ill be seeing you." In a whirl of smoke she was gone and Harry relaxed as he saw he had normal colored skin. Harry looked up filled with satisfaction and then anger and resentment. Willow looked into his eyes she saw the pain she had cause him. Tears fell from her face.

I will be back in due time Willow said to the group. With that she was gone.

"Whoa… where did she go professor?" Hermione asked, to the three professors.

"And how in gods name did she say that in our heads?" Ron asked. Angel and Cordy were speechless as was Harry. Dumbledore spoke up.

"A simple spell allowed her to talk to us like that. But as for her whereabouts I can only wonder." He explained sadly. "She will come back when she can accept all that has happened. Ms. Granger, Mr. Weasley, Mr. Potter I think it would be best to go back to your rooms."

"Yes professor" said Hermione and Ron together. All three left without a word.

"I think in light of recent events, classes will be cancelled for today…" Dumbledore said solemnly. "I would appreciate it if you told the teachers this." Both professors nodded. "Also in ten minuets I will be making this formally known at breakfast. Make sure everyone is present." They nodded and exited in silence.

Cordy and Angel filled in the teachers about what was happening. Everyone was filling into the great hall and Dumbledore was sitting in his usual seat contemplating the best way to put this. Harry, Hermione and Ron were present but looking more down than ever. Murmurs filled the hall. Dumbledore stood.

"I am sure you are all wondering what all the commotion was this morning. I am sad to say that Neville Longbottom is no longer with us. I am sorry to say that he passed away sometime last night." Dumbledore said gravely. The room was filled with gasps and Hermione started to cry. This set off a lot of people, soon sobbing could be heard all around the hall, with the exception of the Slytherins who were just silent.

"Also," said Dumbledore standing again, "or today classes are cancelled, you may eat or return to your rooms, thank you, please remember Neville."
