Chapter Twelve- Time to grow up

A year later, at the Auror Headquarters

"I can't believe you're here again," Neville Longbottom said in awe.

"Yeah," Harry grinned as he looked around his old office. "Neither did I, Minister."

Neville shrugged. "I still can't believe Percy resigned. I mean, I still can't believe I'm Minister!"

"You'll be a good one, honey," Luna said as she kissed him in the cheek.

"Argh, newlyweds," Harry mocked.

"Your anniversary is next week, right?" Neville asked, his voice full of laughter.

"Yep," Harry said happily. "A year married to the most wonderful woman ever."

Kat Muller entered the office and ran to hug Harry. "Thank God that Longbottom hired you again," Kat squealed. "You're the coolest boss ever."

"Katherine, stop licking his boots," Malfoy said as he entered the room. "He's used to Weasley doing it all the time."

"Talking about Ron… he's going steady with Woodtrail, right?" Neville asked.

"Such an odd couple," Harry chuckled. "Never thought Eris would agree to date him."

Everyone laughed and Harry's eyes glanced to a photograph in the wall. It was the picture they took when they arrived from Germany a year ago. His eyes darted to Raven, who was smiling at the camera, and Harry grinned.

"Have you heard about her?" Neville asked, lowering his voice as Luna and Kat discussed Eris and Ron. Malfoy repressed a yawn and rolled his eyes at the women.

"No. She left a week after we returned from Germany," Harry said. "I don't know anything about her. I hope she's all right."

"Anyway," Neville said, rising his voice. "I hope you come to occupy your office tomorrow."

"I will," Harry nodded, ignoring Malfoy's snort. "Now if you excuse me, I have to go. Hermione had something important to tell me."

"Okay," Neville said as they shook hands. Harry kissed both Luna and Kat on the cheek and Malfoy stepped back.

"Forgive me if I don't want you to kiss me," Malfoy said coldly. "I don't fancy you that much."

Harry rolled his eyes and disapparated.

Half an hour later, at H/hr house

Harry sat nervously in the couch of the living room, when he heard a soft tap in the window. A familiar owl was trying to get in. Harry opened the window and took the envelope from the owl's leg.

The owl flew away and he opened the letter.

Dear Harry,

I know you haven't heard from me for a year, and I'm sorry.

I wanted to tell you that I'm currently living in Canada, and I work there for a special wizarding intelligence division.

I have a good life now. I even have a boyfriend, his name in Anthony and we have been going out for four months.

I just wrote to tell you that this is the last letter you will ever receive from me. I'm not saying that I don't care for you, but it's the best. I really see a future in my relationship with Tony, and I don't want to have feelings for you.

I have to erase you from my life. I do hope you understand.

I'm sorry it didn't work, but you made me stronger, and I'm grateful for that. Please know that I wish you the best, because you deserve it.

I must go, and say goodbye to you, an important experience in my life.

Raven

P.S I don't have to mention the whole death-life again situation to Tony, right? Never mind.

Harry folded the letter and grinned. He understood Raven completely. He torn the letter into pieces and threw it on the garbage can. He heard the door open and saw Hermione, who had an enourmous smile in her face.

"Harry… I have the most wonderful news!" She said as she walked over to him and kissed him.

"What?" Harry asked as Hermione drew away.

"Oh, Harry," Hermione sighed. "I'm pregnant."

Harry gaped at her. "Really? Hermione, that's great!" Harry hugged her tightly and kissed her passionately.

"I know!" Hermione said, her eyes filled with tears. "We're going to be parents!"

"Wait a second… how will we name him or her?" Harry asked.

"If it's a boy… How about, um, James?" Hermione grinned.

"I would love it," Harry grinned. "And if it's a girl?"

"Anne, I have always loved that name," Hermione said.

"And I have always loved you." Harry smiled at Hermione, who smiled back. And he knew that everything was going to be all right this time.

This time it was for real.

THE END

A/N: In a few days (or maybe a week) I will upload "Anne Potter and the Legacy of Bethus". I had already written a story about Anne before but I deleted it, and this will be like a comeback. I hope you enjoyed this trilogy and please, review my new series. It will be from year five to year seven in Anne Potter's life. Thanks for all the nice reviews. Peace!
