Chapter Twenty-Two: "Harry, You the Man!"

Everyone rushed around on the shuttle, trying to get prepared for take-off. "Set main thrusters!" Smith commanded.

Everyone was strapped into their seats. "What the hell's goin' on up there? Why haven't you guys left yet?" Harry asked.

"We're going Harry," said Commander Teg. "OMS Pod 3 start confirmed!"

Then there was a problem. The ship wouldn't start. "Come on, fix it! We got no time, no time!" Smith yelled. Commander Teg went to check out the problem. George went with her. "Hey, where ya goin?" Ron asked.

"Oh, come on! We're stayin' we're goin', make up your minds!" Draco yelled.

"Come on, Teg, come on," Smith said to himself.

"Get out of here! You have less than three minutes!" Harry yelled.

"Blow the bomb, Harry! We're with ya!" Draco yelled.

Commander Teg was looking at the control panel. George began to inspect it too. "Back off, you don't know the components," Teg commanded.

"Eh…European components, American components, all made in Taiwan!" George yelled.

Everyone at NASA listened to the intercom. "Houston we have no fire," Smith said.

"No fire? What does that mean?" Ron asked.

"It means we got a busted ship."

"A busted ship? And I'm strapped in here? I had a great spot picked out there!" Draco yelled.

"Freedom, let's go, let's fire that engine! If there's not a way, you find a way! Let's go, let's fire that engine!"

"You guys got less than a minute," Harry said. "Don't think I won't blow this thing!"

"I'm telling you, I know how to fix it, please move," George said to Teg. "I'll have to take you away if you don't move."

"Smith get out of here, it's gettin' bad down here," Harry groaned.

"I'm telling you, please MOVE!" George pushed her away. "This is how we do things…where I come from!" he grabbed a wrench and started hitting the machine. "Because I don't want to stay here anymore! I…" Then the ship started up. "Yeah!"

"She's coming back!" William yelled.

"She's hot!"

They sat down in their seats, strapped themselves up, and took off. The earthquakes and eruptions were getting worse. "Rain all you want, you son of a bitch," Harry challenged it.

As they flew, Smith stared into the vast vortex of space. "Thank you, Harry," he said.

Then the worst earthquake hit, knocking Harry to his feet. Harry groaned in pain.

"Shuttle's out of range, still no detonation," said official Watson.

Smith shook his head. "Something's not right, too much time has gone by."

Harry tightened his grip on the ground and pulled himself up. He knew he had made the right decision. He looked up toward the Earth, his home where his friends were. He knew he was going to be a hero once again, but for the last time.

They were five seconds from zero barrier. "We win, Hermione!" Harry yelled.

"Press the button, Harry!" William yelled.

5…

4…

3…

2…

1…

Harry took a deep breath and pressed the button.

Parents – love – wizard – friends – Hogwarts – Earth – Ron – Hermione

Darkness.

Silence.

Harry knows he will always be with his friends.

"Yo Harry, you the man," George said quietly.

They were getting ready to touch down back at NASA space center. "Houston, we see you," Smith said, "and you never looked so good."

"I have to say I have a terrible fear of flying," Ron said. "So it'd be an awful shame to die now."

They touched down and Smith punched the emergency exit button. "Welcome home, astronauts," he said.

"Remember guys, we're heroes now. So that whole thing about me and the gun on the asteroid, let's keep that under wraps." Draco said. With that, he, George, Blaise, Ron, Colonal Smith, and Commander Teg jumped down the inflated slide and walked down the runway.

The first one out of the crowd was Hermione. She ran up to Ron, and he lifted her into the air and hugged her tightly. Everyone clapped.

Hermione was stroking Ron's face when Smith walked up and saluted her. "Colonal Jason Smith, United States Air Force, ma'am. Requesting permission to shake the hand of the best friend…of the bravest man I've ever met."

Tears coming to her eyes, Hermione shook his hand. He walked away as William walked up to them. "You did it, soldier," he said, patting Ron's shoulder.

"Harry wanted you to have this," Ron said, handing him the mission patch.

William smiled. "He did, huh?"

With jets soaring overhead, Ron and Hermione moved in for a passionate kiss.

THE END

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Where every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure

Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you babe
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you babe
And I don't want to miss a thing

Lying close to you feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes
And thank God we're together
I just want to stay with you in this moment forever
Forever and ever

I don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you babe
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you babe
And I don't want to miss a thing

I don't want to miss one smile
I don't want to miss one kiss
I just want to be with you
Right here with you, just like this
I just want to hold you close
Feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time

2X
I don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you babe
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you babe
And I don't want to miss a thing

Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
I don't want to miss a thing
