Chapter 4

Invitations

suddenly Dumbledore was hit and he slumped on the ground. Harry moved round the trees standing behind where Dumbledore was lying.

''Well, well, well, the great Albus Dumbledore has finally fallen'' Voldermort walked closer to Albus, his wand pointed at the Headmasters chest. Harry could sense his Professor behind him crying silently.

Harry took a step forward, revealing himself

''AVADA KEDAVRA!''

The two wizards fired the killing curse at the same time, the curse that had killed Lilly and James, and many others before, and after. The worst curse ever. Harry didn't know what was happening, all he saw was Voldermort firing the curse at him as he fired it at Voldermort, then suddenly a sheild came up around Harry, looking to his left he saw Professor McGonagall holding the sheild in front of him. He watched as the curse he fired hit Voldermort.

A pillar of green light rose from where Voldermort stood. Then after it had gone a frail, limp body was left lying on the ground. Harry slowly moved over to the body. He felt numb, he had just killed the most evil wizard with one curse. He had used the worst curse you could use. He was shocked to see the body in front of him didn't look like Voldermort, no, it looked like an older version of Tom Riddle, Voldermorts human form. Harry looked over his shoulder just in time to see Minerva McGonagall drop limply to the side of her husband, he started to move over to his two Professors lying on the ground, when the clearing in which they were standing became surrounded by students and Order members. Harry didn't realize how much energy the killing curse took until he say his Godfather rushing towards him as he blacked out.

Harry slowly opened his eyes, he could tell he was in the hospital wing, he had ended up here many times before after fighting Voldermort, this time he knew he wouldn't be here again, for that reason anyway! Looking to his left he could see Sirius watching him worriedly and on his right Ron had his arm round Hermione.

''Ah, Harry, you're awake!'' his Godfather spoke first as Harry sat up.

''What happened?'' Harry asked, this time Ron answered

''You only killed Voldermort!'' Harry rolled his eyes

''Well, yeah, I know that, but how? I mean, I know I used the killing curse, but how?'' he looked to Sirius and Hermione for this one!

''Harry, wizards don't NEED to know how to cast a spell, if they really have to use a spell they can use it. Its complicated to explain, basically, you realized you needed to use that spell so you did.'' Sirius answered, Hermione and Ron nodded along.

''I understand.'' Harry replied slomlely ''So, why am I here?'' Harry asked lightly, trying to lighten the mood.

''Well, theres actually nothing the matter with you, the spell just took up alot of your energy. Madam Pomfrey says you'll be allowed out soon!' Hermione spoke for the first time. Harry nodded, he didn't feel ill.

A woman Harry didn't recognize approached the cubicle

''Ah, Sirius, I thought you'd be here!'' She was quite tall and skinny with long dark blonde hair

''Hello Harry, I'm Lucy, we haven't met before but I happen to be going out with your Godfather'' she carried on as Sirius blushed

''umm...yeah, I'll see you later Harry!'' Sirius stood up quickly and left

''He has a girlfriend?'' Harry asked shocked. Hermione and Ron nodded

''Yep, shes nice, there good together'' Hermione replied, Harry nodded.

''What about McGonagall and Dumbledore?'' Harry asked, rembering seeing the two professors lying on the floor jus before he passed out.

''Don't you mean 'Professor' McGonagall and 'Professor' Dumbledore Mr Potter?'' A strict Scottish voice asked. Making all 3 students and Sirius jump.

''Professor!'' Hermione squeaked, almost as if she was scared of the teacher ''I'm sure Harry didn't mean anything...'' Professor McGonagall raised her hand to stop Hermione.

''Its OK, Miss Granger, now, if you don't mind, could I have a private word with Mr Potter?'' she watched her students leave.

''Mr Potter.'' the strict teacher started ''How are you feeling?''

''I feel fine, Professor.'' Harry smiled at her, ''and thanks, for, well, you know.'' He adverted his eyes, almost embarrassed for thanking her, he didn't know why!

''Harry, its ok!'' McGonagalls voice soft ''I did what I had to do!'' she lifted his chin gently with her finger so he was looking at her, she could see tears in the young boys eyes. ''Harry, I care about you, I taught your parents, even though your father was a bit disruptive he was smart, as was your mother. I cared for them as well, I knew Lily had to put up with alot from her sister and I was there when she wanted to talk. I was constantly having to stick up for The Mauraders, prevent teachers taking points off them.''she smiled at the memory. ''Then they left the school, got married and joined the Order, against my will, but Al...Professor Dumbledore let them join. After, well...after they died.'' she could baily bring herself to say it, it was true she cared dearly for her former students. ''I took it upon myself to look after you. I never agreed with you living with the Dursleys, but Professor Dumbledore insisted, so I went with him, but even though I trusted your Headmaster, I kept an eye on you, in both my cat form and in human form. I visited Mrs Figg a number of times and got her to report back to me regularly. I never understood why untill last year when he told me of the Prophecy, now I understand why. I guess what I'm trying to say is that Professor Dumbledore and I would like to invite you to stay with us over the summer holidays, we'd understand if you don't want to, but the rest of the Order could stay there and Ron and Hermione.'' Harry couldn't believe what his teacher had just said, first about what she thought of his parents. Then she asked him to stay with her and the Headmaster over summer, with Sirius and the rest of the Order! Even if it would be with his teachers, it would be better that the Dursely's!

''OK, Professor, I will stay with you, if it isn't any trouble, that is!'' at this his Professor's face lifted into a rare smile

''it would be no trouble at all! It would be a pleasure to have you!'' she smiled at him, it would be really good to have him and the rest of the Order there, it was a big house and it did get lonely and quiet with out any children around.

''Professor, how is Professor Dumbledore? What happened to him?'' he asked finally.

''Don't worry Harry, he was stunned by Voldermort, that was all, at the moment he is trying to deal with the Ministry, Fudge has now quit leaving your Headmaster in charge to find a replacement.'' she smiled at Harry, who had even more questions

''Professor?'' He looked worried about asking this one ''Well, you and Professor Dumbledore have kept your marriage secret, is there anyone else who has?'' Minerva smiled at this

''Well, yes, Moody and Madam Pomfrey have been married for 30 years! You've already met their daughter, Lucy'' Harry didn't know what to say, his Godfather was going out with Moodys daughter!

''But...but...what in my 4th year, when Moody was captured...didn't she reliaze?'' Minerva grimaced

''No, she didn't, but Master Crouch had everyone fooled, he must have been studying Moody for a while.'' An awkward silence fell between the two people

''I'll go and have a word with Madam Popfrey and see if you can be allowed out of here, I personally hate being stuck in a hospital!'' Minerva spoke eventually, Harry had to agree, it was so boring!

After Minerva left Harry had plenty of time to think things through. The war was finally over, the most evil wizard had been killed, and Harry, a 6th year had done it! Then his transfiguration teacher had invited him to stay with her and her husband, the headmaster for the holidays! He was glad that no-one had been severely hurt and were all OK, especially the D.A. members, he had formed a kind of bond with them after teaching them for all that time.

''Right Mr Potter'' his thoughts were interrupted by the Medi-witch Madam Pomfrey, who he had also recently discovered was married, to none other than Alastor 'Mad-eye' Moody and had a 25 year old daughter called Lucy who was going out with his Godfather! ''I think I can let you go now, but you must take it easily and I will see you at 5pm tomorrow for a check up!'' Madam Pomfrey continued.

''Thanks!'' Harry grinned at her, getting changed and rushing off to find Ron and Hermione to tell them about his professors offer.

Thats chapter 4! I don't like this chapter as much as the others, anyway, R&R!
