Summary: Harry's last year at Hogwarts has finally come but that doesn't mean things will be any easier for him. After last year's horrifying events the school things that nothing worse could happen. They were all wrong. The prophecy resurfaces and is dangling in front of Harry, held up by the pain from the past, quite literally. As the world is slowly being morphed outside of the safety of Hogwarts the people inside it are finding out that they cannot hide for much longer and that time is as much their best friend now as it is their worst enemy. What is a person supposed to do when they know they have to face the most evil wizard in history and if they're killed then the rest of the world, magic and muggle is doomed?
Warning: More violence then last time. The mentions of suicide, murder, abuse, rape, and blood are much more pronounced then in the last fic
I'd like to mention that there will be A LOT more deaths of characters you recognise and some you won't. If you thought I was cruel and brutal in the prequel to this then I don't know what you're going to think of me after reading this story.
There are some chapters were songs in them but not every chapter will have them in it.
Sequel to Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
IMPORTANT:
I promised you all I'd choose three chapters to talk about and I will, at the end of the chapter. I'll just tell you the numbers I choose: 11, 12 and 28.
"When you're lost don't look for the light at the end of the tunnel, go light it yourself.
The door to Harry's bedroom creaked open and a light giggle was heard, followed by a quick 'shhhh'.
Ron, Josh and Kaylee all tiptoed over to Harry bed where he laid on one side of it and Hermione was on the other. Ron nudged her and she slowly opened her eyes. Looking at them in confusion she sat up and was about to say something but Ron shook his head no and motioned for her to move.
She did and saw the large bucket of water in Josh's hands and a light giggle escaped her mouth but she covered it with her hands. Now that she was awake she remembered what they were planning on doing.
"He's bound to jump up what we dump this so he's not naked is he Hermy?" Ron asked.
She shot him a glare and said, "One, don't call me Hermy, and two, no he's not."
"Good, I don't need to see that," Ron said as he and Josh heaved the bucket to the side of the bed with Harry on it.
"Off the sister record and on the female none relation record," Kaylee said while looking at Hermione. "I wouldn't mind watching that but don't worry Mione, he's all yours. I have my sights set on someone else."
"Good," Hermione said. "It'd be wrong anyways. No matter what, you still ARE like his sister."
"I know," she agreed and they went back to watching.
"One," Josh whispered.
"Two," Ron said.
"Three!" they both whispered then dumped the icy water onto the sleeping Harry's head.
He choked, shot up then said, "WHAT THE FUCK?!"
Everyone present burst out laughing and everyone within a 100 metre radius probably heard his yell.
"H-h-happy birthday HARRY," Hermione said. She yelled the last part by accident then erupted into a fit of giggles yet again.
He stared at them all with a confused look and said, "It's my birthday?"
They all had calmed down a little bit this sent them all off the edge again.
Josh wiped the tears of laughter that had pooled in his eyes and said, "Yeah. 17 years ago today you were born."
A grin passed over Harry's face and he grabbed his wand off his bedside table then whispered, "Wingarduim Leviosa Maxima."
Suddenly all his friends ended up in the air. Kaylee and Hermione both let out a shriek of surprise and looked at a grinning Harry. He got out of his bed and preformed a drying charm on it then said, "I'll be back to let you down in a few. Thanks for reminding me that I'm allowed to do magic." Everyone shot a glare at Josh who shrugged.
Harry got a shower, and then changed into the clothes he brought with him and tried his hair. Last year he had gotten it cut so it wasn't as messy. He noticed that it had grown again and his bangs covered his scar. The red streaks that had appeared in his hair from the Mexican sunlight were starting to fade thanks to England's large amount of rain.
He walked into the room and noticed everyone was staring at Kaylee oddly as she pretty much swam around in the air.
"Umm," was all he said while staring at her as if she had grown three heads, four legs and nine extra fingers!
He moved into a certain spot, which caused them all to look at him oddly. He waved his wand and said, "Finite." He quickly put it away as they dropped then he quickly caught Hermione, which was his brilliant plan from the beginning.
"Bloody hell," Ron growled and rubbed his bottom.
Kaylee had fallen on top of Josh and both blushed a dark red then Kaylee rolled off him and they both stood up and looked in opposite directions.
Hermione raised an eyebrow and giggled then said, "Can you put me down?"
"Later," he joked then set her down.
"Come on mate," Ron said seriously, shooting amused looks over at Kaylee and Josh. "We woke you up early so Fred and George wouldn't get you. They were planning on it."
"Thank lord," Harry muttered.
Hermione rolled her eyes and said, "Kaylee come with me." She grabbed the other girl's arm and the two ran out of the room.
"They're mental, both of them," Ron said.
"No they're not," Josh replied with a shrug.
"You might have known Kaylee for longer but we've seen the many moods of Hermione and she is bloody mental and Kaylee reminds me of her at times so she's mental too," Ron said simply.
Harry laughed and said, "What was with the blushing there mate?"
"Nothing!" Josh cried out and walked out of the room while throwing his hands in the air.
Potter and Weasley exchanged a look then both burst out laughing and walked out after their friend.
Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Josh, Kaylee and Nicola sat around the kitchen table. If anyone would have entered the room and looked at them they'd think there was a huge staring game going on.
Ron's stomach gave a loud grumble and they all looked at him. He didn't like all the people staring at him.
"That's it," Harry said, looking over at the clock. It was 6 o'clock in the morning at the moment and they had all been up for a half an hour, doing nothing. "I need to do something so let's all try to cook…without magic."
"Are you insane?" Ron asked quickly.
"No, I know how to cook," he replied dully.
"So do I," Hermione agreed then said sheepishly, "To a point."
Harry rolled his eyes and said, "Toast Hermione."
"THAT WAS NOT MY FAULT!" she yelled.
Nicola burst out laughing and said, "I remember that. Lordy I still can't believe you did that."
"Mind explaining?" Ginny asked as she shook out her hair.
"Last summer Hermione insisted on making breakfast," Harry explained.
"She burned the toast," Nicola finished. "And some how we had sour milk that day to."
"That was not me, I'm still not allowed to use magic out side of school," her sister countered. All Nicola did was stick out her tongue.
Ron's face had turned an odd shade of red at their story and then started laughing heavily. It seemed to be contagious and soon everyone (including Hermione) was laughing.
"I'm serious," Harry said after a moment. "Let's all work together to cook."
"Yeah," Kaylee agreed. "It'll be fun! Besides it IS Harry's birthday, we need to do something exciting."
"Her cooking abilities are in the same area as Hermione's," Josh informed Harry with a shrug.
She smacked him up the back of his head and said, "So are you."
"Well," Harry said. "Let's give it a shot."
"We can make breakfast then trying making cookies and things like that!" Ginny said excitedly, "Mum's been teaching me how to cook."
"At least I'm not the only one here able to do it," was all the boy-who-lived said.
"HOLY CRAP THE CAKE IS ON FIRE!" Ron yelled.
"How can the cake be on fire Ronald, YOU DIDN'T PUT IT IN THE OVEN!" Hermione growled.
"I was supposed to put it in the over? I thought you were supposed to use a heating spell," Ron replied, causing Hermione to smack her head, getting cookie dough in her hair yet again.
The kitchen was a mess. There was a fair amount of good looking food on the table but triple as much had different types of problems with them. It was actually really funny to the people making the food.
Kaylee had whip cream smeared all over her shirt and on her right cheek and there was a speck of it on the tip of her long eyelashes as well. She couldn't remember what she had been using it for and she didn't really remember that she was covered in it.
Josh had what looked like pudding all over his clothes. There was probably some in his hair but it was the exact same colour so nobody could tell. He was currently trying to make caramel cookies, somehow. Needless to say it wasn't that successful.
Ron had a fair amount of what looked like seasoning in his hair. Unlike Josh the green colour seemed to be so bright against his fiery red hair. He had a chocolate covered on his face from where he had actually made good brownies and had eaten them all within five minutes.
Ginny likewise seemed to have spaghetti all over her as well as chocolate sauce. She was walking around with white socks stained pink from a type of juice. She actually didn't want to know what type of juice it was anymore. She suspected it was like a watermelon-blueberry, her own original flavour.
Now normally, being the smallest, Nikky could avoid catastrophes but it seemed today being so small didn't do her any good. When Ron threw a bag of icing sugar over to Harry it spilled all over her. She looked like she had been outside in a snow storm!
Hermione's hair was pulled tightly into a pony tail and she was covered in cookie dough. Harry had gone out of his way to smear it all over her. They had originally started cooking very well and had set some things aside but then they had just started a huge food fight.
Harry's raven black hair looked white because of the flour and sugar that was in it. It was actually really amusing to look at all of them.
They eventually just gave up cooking and all of them joined the food fight.
Fred and George Weasley were very disappointed when they realized they had slept in very late and realized that Harry had probably woken up along time ago.
It was the oddest thing ever; almost everyone that was staying in Grimmauld place met each other in the hallway, all having got up very, VERY late.
"What happened?" Sarah asked.
"Sleeping spell I imagine," Alyssa said with a yawn as if she had a care in the world. Suddenly there was a shriek from the kitchen, followed by a crash, a pause and then laughter.
"Oh lord," Sarah said and all of them took off down the stairs in a race to get to the kitchen to see what all the commotion was.
Fred and George got there first and threw open the doors. Their identical blue eyes widened at the state of their mother's normally clean domain. They then let out a huge whoop and ran into the kitchen and slid into the mess as if going on a muggle slip and slide. That was all Mrs. Weasley saw and made her extremely nervous.
All the adults looked in the kitchen and their eyes widened with shock. Everyone in the room was holding cookie dough and seemed to freeze in time. All of the people in the room stared at Mrs. Weasley with a look of horror on their face.
Alyssa was the first one to give a reaction. She put her hands on her hips and said, "What happened hear?" To all the adults behind her she would appear to be angry but to the teenagers they could see the grin on her face and they could tell she was trying not to laugh.
Molly shook her head in approval but Sarah rolled her eyes. She moved over beside Alyssa and poked her in the side, causing the blond to burst out laughing. Tears streaked down her face and she said, "I'm sorry but this is bloody brilliant! Sirius would have loved to see Grimmauld place in this state when he was younger."
"Grow up Alyssa," Mrs. Weasley snapped then turned on the children and said, "Clean this up, NOW!"
"Don't be so hard on them Molly," Sarah said sweetly.
"It is Harry's birthday today," Remus agreed while nodding his head, a large grin was also present on his face.
"I DON'T CARE IF IT'S THE QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY! LOOK AT THE STATE OF MY KITCHEN!" She yelled, her fiery temper returning in all it's glory once again.
Ron and Ginny seemed to be terrified at her; Nikky had hid beside the two as they shrunk away from their raging mother and Kaylee had hid behind Josh, peaking around his arm from time to time because she wasn't tall enough to look over his shoulder. Hermione had moved behind Harry half ways, ready to hide if Mrs. Weasley continued but not scared enough to be completely concealing from the red head. Harry and Josh just shot each other highly disturbed looks.
"What…the queen…kitchen," Sarah spluttered out. Her cheeks seemed to turn the same colour as Molly's as she finally hit her boiling point. "YOU MIGHT NOT GIVE A DAMN IF IT'S HIS BIRTHDAY BUT WE DO! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD YOU'RE A WITCH WOMAN! A HOUSE-WITCH TOO ON TOP OF THAT! CLEAN IT UP WITH A FLICK OF YOUR WAND! AND THIS ISN'T YOUR KITCHEN! IT'S NOT EVEN YOUR HOUSE! THE HOUSE BELONGS TO HARRY!"
There was a long pause. Hermione would later say that you could actually cut the tension with a knife if you wanted to.
Molly's eyes narrowed and she said, "You have no right Sarah. You disappear for 17 years and now you come back planning on running the show? I think not, I am older then you if you remember correctly."
"So?" Sarah snapped, "I did not come back to be a housewife Molly. I came back to fight. We all did. When it comes to the point where Voldemort makes his final attack who's going to be fighting? You or me? Things are going to get worse you know, you might as well let them have fun now well they still can."
"They will not be fighting," Molly said simply, her eyes flashing angrily, "And don't you dare suggest they do Sarah Ilene Prewett."
"That's Mrs. Lupin to you," she growled.
Harry looked from one to the other then blurted out, "Sarah's right."
Everyone stared at him again and Molly said with shock, "What did you say?"
"Sarah's right Mrs. Weasley, let us have fun while we can, because I know for one that I am going to fight," he said simply, "But lets forget about that ok? It takes a flick of a wand to clean this. We were just having fun."
Her eyes flashed at him too and she said, "Fun? GET OUT!" Harry decided that personally he'd rather not go and poke at a sleeping tiger so he just gave her one last look before taking Hermione's hand and going out of the room. It seemed everyone else was thinking along the same lines he was so they followed him out of the room.
The last thing any of them heard was Remus saying, "Why'd you do that Molly?"
It seemed that the earth decided to be nice on Harry's birthday and give them a nice sunny day. They had all travelled outside but didn't stay there long, it was too hot. Even Griffy, Athena and Roller took to staying inside in the living room, where cooling charms had been placed.
Ron made an argument about going into the living room, saying that his mother would be in there and her temper was enough to cancel out the charms.
"Harry," Hermione whispered to him, "Let's go to that indoor pool you showed me before. We can have a pool party there like just all of us that are here now. None of the adults have to know."
"I like the way you think," he said and threw an arm around her then grinned at everyone else and said, "What would you guys think to a pool party?"
"Awesome," Fred and George both echoed. They had stolen a couple cans of whip cream from the kitchen and had been spraying each other with it for amusement.
"That's a great idea," Josh said.
"Is there a pool here?" Nicola asked in interest.
"Yeah, Harry showed me where it was," Hermione explained.
"And Sirius showed me where it was but I forgot about it," he finished with a smirk, "It even gives out free bathing suits."
"Let's do it!" Ron said excitedly.
Surprising everyone it was Kaylee who had the practical voice this time as she said, "How do we make sure the dragon lady doesn't know we're missing. She's bound to keep an eye on us now. No offence Ron, Ginny, George, Fred."
"No offence taken, that's a great way to describe mum," George said with a wave of his hand.
"Easy enough, we just go, who cares if she can't find us," Ginny said as she jumped to her feet. "We're mature teenagers, we can handle this. Besides we have supervision, Fred and George are 19."
They grinned and Fred said, "We will make sure you are all well watched, right George?"
"As best as we can! But what about the girl's while their getting changed?" George asked.
"We can just send Harry in," Fred replied, receiving a laugh from George and a punch in the arm from Harry. "Blood hell mate! That actually hurt!"
"I can make it hurt worse if you want," he suggested.
"Nah, that's ok," the twin insisted."
"Now about this room," George said.
"Follow me, it supplies everything so we don't need to bring anything with us," Harry said.
"Bloody hell that's amazing," Ron said with shock as they walked out of the room.
"Bloody hell this is amazing!" Ron said with shock as they walked into the room.
"Holy shit," Kaylee said, to sum up all their thoughts perfectly as they saw the outdoor looking indoor pool.
"Mione, you show them where the girls changing rooms are, I'll show you guys," Harry said and they both led the way to the rocks then opened them.
"Sirius designed this?" Josh asked, throwing his arms out to make his point.
"I was shocked, needless to say," the raven haired boy replied.
"You never mentioned this to us in fifth year," Ron said as he quickly got changed once they were in the room.
'I didn't mention a lot of things to you guys from fifth year Ron,' Harry thought dryly as he changed as well.
They got outside before the girls, who could be heard laughing in their changing room, making more noise then all the boys could put together.
Fred and George suddenly let out loud whoops and ran to the rocks around the waterfall, where they both, at the exact same time, preformed excellent formed cannon balls into the water. The perfect ones to make the perfect splash, times two. Needless to say Harry, Ron and Josh were soaked to the bone.
Fred and George smirked suddenly and Fred said, "Common, we'll all do that at the exact same time when the girl's come out."
The other three grinned and all five boys climbed up the rocks and waited and George said, "When you see the red of Ginny's hair in the spot you three were, that's when we jump."
They didn't need to wait long, all the girls soon came out. Between two brunets and an ebony haired girl Ginny's red hair stood out greatly. They all kept theirs eyes on her until they got to the spot where they had been moments before.
"Where are they?" they heard Kaylee say.
Suddenly the girls heard five yells and looked up, just in time to have a huge wave of water hit them.
"THAT'S IT!" Ginny yelled as she wiped water out of her eyes.
"It's war!" Nikky agreed as all the girls charged into the water as well.
Once everyone was dry Hermione took Harry's hand and started dragging him to the living room. Her wide grin seemed to blend perfectly with her bright purple tank top and her faded jean skirt, bright and noticeable.
Fred, George, Nikky, Ron, Ginny and Josh had all entered the living room already and Kaylee stopped, shooting Harry a grin before going inside. Raising an eyebrow he was about to ask Hermione what that was about but she just shook her head then pulled him into the room.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY HARRY!"
He jumped about a mile in the air and disappeared.
Hermione looked around wildly and someone asked, "Where'd he go."
A wide grin appeared on Moody's chiselled face and he said, "Potter, get back in here. I'll praise ya though; you were defiantly on your toes."
Harry pushed the living room door back open and a smile appeared on his face as he saw all his friends in the room.
The whole of the ULD was there (except for Cho, Ron later pointed out, Harry hadn't noticed), Richie and Rose were there too, as well as some of the people that had graduated that were Harry's friends.
"Our little Harry's all grown up," Katie Bell said suddenly as she threw herself at him in a hug. Katie had just graduated last year.
"I know, it seems just like yesterday that he became our Seeker," Angelina Johnson said as she too came up and gave him a great hug.
"I'll always remember him spitting up the golden snitch," Alicia Spinnet agreed, getting laughs out of everyone there.
"Harry, old buddy, old pal!" Seamus said as he pushed the three girls out of the way, "How's it going?"
"Great," he replied. "At least I am now."
"Thank you so much," Hermione replied sarcastically and smacked him.
There was laughter as Harry went around and spoke to everyone that had come to the party. Finally one of the twins got tired of just talk and waved his wand at the radio, which started blasting loud Muggle tunes. "NOW THIS IS A PARTY!"
"Hi Harry," Susan Bones said as he got to her. She seemed the same as the last time he had seen her but he could tell that the loss of her Aunt had hit her hard. It was no surprise really.
"Hi Susan, you feeling ok?" he asked politely.
"As best as possible," she admitted.
"Good to hear, considering the circumstances," he said with a sigh.
She nodded then said, "No sad thoughts, it's not every day the boy-who-lived turns seventeen."
He smiled and nodded then continued talking to people.
As the party progressed people got a chance to mingle and meet each other again. To the adults it seemed like a slightly odd group once they heard that there was some people from every house in Hogwarts there. It showed inter-house unity, something not heard of since before Salazar Slytherin went bad.
"Hermione," someone said, "summer's been nice to you."
She blushed a deep red and Harry glared at the direction the voice came from but he never found out who said it.
"PRESENTS!" Fred yelled suddenly then ran at the pile, pulled his and George out then threw it to Harry and George yelled, "IT'S FRAGILE BY THE WAY."
Harry made a dive and caught it before it hit the ground then opened it carefully. His eyes widened as he saw a box then he peaked in it and saw many prank items in it. He didn't show anyone but winked at them as he set it aside and said, "Thanks for the empty box guys."
Luna pretty much floated across the room then floated back and said, "Here you go Harry."
He opened the oddly coloured paper and saw a scarlet collar. Staring at it with confusion he didn't know what it was for until he saw the name 'Griffy' written on it in gold fancily, "Thanks Luna."
Neville came forward next and passed him something, grinning widely. His eyes seemed to smirk and he said, "My grandma said it would be helpful."
Harry stared at it with confusion as he opened it and saw a tiny tree, "What is it?"
"It a healing plant. It's the most common thing used in healing potions. Gran and I figured since you always seem to be hurting yourself this might come in handy."
Harry laughed and said, "Never would have thought of it myself."
"You know, somehow, I knew that," Neville said, getting a laugh out of a few people around him.
"Not surprising," Harry agreed and continued opening his other presents. He was shocked at how many there was! Aside from last year he hadn't seen this many before.
"What the hell?" he asked as he looked at one box with a picture of Draco Malfoy in it and looked around with confusion as a few people started laughing.
A girl with long black hair and purplish-blue eyes stumbled forward, laughing so hard that there were tears in her eyes. Ebony Moon stared at him for a moment as she calmed down then said, "It's from me. It's a joke, don't worry, your present is underneath it."
Harry took the picture out and handed it to her and she took it back and stored it in her pocket then he continued on once again.
"I left yours locked in my trunk upstairs because you'll lose it or break it or something today," Hermione explained when he finally reached the end. "I'll give it to you tomorrow."
"Kay," he said with a shrug then turned to everyone and said, "Thank you so much."
"No prob Harry," Dean called out. He was standing in the same general area as Ginny but he didn't even shoot her a second glance and he had a real smile on his face the whole time so he was honestly over Ginny now.
Alyssa cracked a smile then stood up and said, "Alright, all you little pests be quiet!"
"Little?" Ron asked, "Most of the guys in here are taller then you!"
She ignored him then said, "We're going to be having a bonfire and a barbeque outside. That's why we wanted you to come over so late so we could do it all when it was dark."
"That's why you cleaned out the back yard!" Harry exclaimed, "Well that and for Griffy and the others."
Alyssa smiled warmly at him and said, "Alright all you rugrats outside!"
There seemed to be a stampede to get outside, one that Harry wasn't part of. He stayed back and smiled at his godmother then said, "Thanks Alyssa."
"It's no problem," she said and gave him a hug then backed up and looked at him with tears in her eyes.
"Are you ok?" he questioned.
She shook her head and didn't even bother trying to wipe away her tears as she said, "I can't believe you're 17 now. The last time I saw you was your first Christmas you know and you were only five years old. I wish I had known then maybe I could have come back and took care of you the way Lily wanted too. You know on her birthday she only wanted on thing, she was still pregnant with you at the time, she wanted to watch her family grow and then watch her grandchildren. With both you and Gemma. I know you were her obvious favourite but it must have hurt to watch Gemma being killed. Too bad she didn't have a time turner at the time, she could have gone back to stop it," She sighed and shook her head again then walked out the door.
Harry stared at her and said, "She didn't have one, so neither should I." He touched one of two chains around his neck. A time turner and his mother's pendent, which he had received last year.
He walked out side and saw that Remus had the barbeque working already. Sarah was with him and they were laughing at something stupid. Harry realized at that moment that not only was Remus the only living Marauder but he and Sarah were also the last one to have a spouse alive. Lily and James were both dead and Sirius was now too.
He shook the sad thoughts out of his head and walked over to Hermione, sitting beside her.
"Are you alright?" she questioned.
He shot her a half fake smile and said, "Never better." It was true, he was sad now but he had never been happier at the same time. It was a really odd concept, let alone feeling.
Soon all the food was passed out and everyone was eating happily, chatting and laughing. Seeing all these people happy was the one thing that made Harry smile truly everyday. Soon as it got darker Ron lit up the fire and it let out a beautiful glow everywhere. Fred and George threw some fireworks in from time to time and everyone watched with amazement as one little piece of whatever they were throwing in exploded into about 100 fireworks. Apparently it was a new product of theirs.
Harry sat watching with amazement, Hermione was sitting on his lap and he had his arms around her and his chin leaning on the top of her head. Ron was talking animatedly to Luna Lovegood with an amused look on his face, they both burst into laughter from time to time but it wasn't the oddly loud laugh Luna had before. Ginny was sitting beside Neville, laughing at something he had said and Kaylee and Josh had taken to throwing random things into the fire to see what would happen to them.
Everyone else that was there spoke to other people or just simply watched the show silently.
Needless to say, this would be the last happy day they would have for along time.
Author's Note
Done! OK I promised chapters and here they are:
Chapter 11: Sorting the Secrets – The Sorting Ceremony, which means there's still a lot of summer left to go.
Chapter 12: Nickleson's Mission – The gang's first day of classes. We get to meet Professor Marie Nickleson in this chapter
Chapter 28: Ron's Battle – Remember in HBP I promised I'd explain what happened to the Weasleys when they were captured? Well that's all explained in this chapter.
Not much info, I know, but it's better then none!
Well I've gotta go! Bye!
Japanese-jew – Yeah I know nothing happened but I figure if I get the boring chapters out of the way first then I can get all the interesting ones. Which are coming up later on. What does 7 x (pi) have to do with anything? (is confused)
CastusAlbusCor – Originally I planned on making Ron have a hissy fit but ya know, I let him be the seventh year Gryffindor Prefect so it's all good.
Aqua Mage – LOL and you didn't have to wait until the story was almost finished to get those lose ends tied up because I have a hell of a lot of things to…weave together.
Trumpet-Geek – Thank you! I'm not sure what chapters I'll choose to talk about. Keep in mine I write these replies as they come in so I'm writing this before I decided what chapters to talk bout.
Loup3402 – OK…Personally the scene I had going on in my head was funny as hell, Hermione beating Harry up! LOL!
Maiden-of-Hope – In almost all of my classes I am surrounded by boys so I hear what they talk about. And last year there were only 6 girls in my class so we got to hear their opinions and what they talked about a lot too.
Jada1010 – 11 eh? I like that number because my birthday's on the 11th too! Yes I am really cruel, trust me, it could have been worse. Remember, she was growling at him BEFORE I actually described it too (poor, poor Harry)
Carn – Yeah I told you. (smiles widely) Hermione beating up Harry had to be the funniest thing ever in my mind! Everything I write I guess I have a movie playing in my mind, that's how I write it. Ron and Kaylee, they're going to be good friends (nothing more but good friends)
Drake Smythe – Thank you. You like the number 16 eh? That's one of my friends favourite numbers as well. Happy Holidays!
Holimontski – Wow, now THAT was a long review. You were in the…er…lower class? That's just called EnglishC at our school (but hey, I'm only in High school). Yeah, stories with too much action don't seem to really...well have enough to them and it's the same with Romance (although there are some cute ones around). I was asked that question by someone else actually, if Nikky was going to get her magic back. It's POSSIBLE but I'm not sure yet. Hey, Neville's proving to be stronger then anyone thinks he is so I guess if you think you're like him then you're getting better too! Wow, long reply…
WIZ1 – Thank you. A lot of people do seem to like an abusive Hermione…LOL
Hpfanchrissy1502 – You people are getting good at reading what's going through my mind! Although sometimes I don't use the insane ideas that scare even me. You're heading in the right direction though.
Shawn Pickett – LOL, I should be the one saying thank you.
Zircronium – Yes, Nikky will be in the story again, don't worry. I'm not on winter holidays yet but my last day of school is the 17th. Odd, it's the same as the number you chose.
Ilovegriffy – Damn straight. You know that sounds like something Fred and George would say…
Colorguardbaby23 – ahhh. No I'm not mad! Why would I be? LOL. Yeah Fred and George are awesome. In all honesty they're my favourites of the Weasleys
Semebo – You're not the only one thinking about things like that, trust me on it. It's not a contest really because they're not allowed on ff.n. It's more or less suggestions; I might choose three chapters that nobody picked! Meh, it's not the holidays yet where I live, it's just covered in snow.
Ryan – Thank you. Yes poor Nicola, I am a very mean person. But she doesn't seem very upset about it, now does she?
Harry James Gryffindor Potter – LOL! Thanks one of the best compliments I've gotten. Yes I know JKR owns Harry, I've got my own ideas though too, this is more or less…practice.
Benwa – I had that whole little scene played out through my head. It was funny as hell in my mind.
Warlock – Yeah it's not really a big thing that Josh is a werewolf. I thought it would be really funny to see just the opposite of what happened in the fifth book.
Atrus Valentein – I hate it when people are mad at me so I have nothing to say now. By the way, I was originally planning on killing Nikky but you know…I wasn't going to be THAT mean
Idiot with reason – how can I be wrong? It's my story. LOL! Woah, too many numbers, that's void now (I'm so mean). No I wasn't up at 9:40! Are you insane? I was up at 8:40 because my dogs kept jumping on me
BigBruiser – Dudley and Harry were not friends, they just respected each other more because Dudley was both terrified of Harry and thankful that he saved him twice while Harry just returned the respect. Don't worry, there's going to be A LOT MORE FIGHTING. And Malfoy will be seen a lot more as well
Rapunzelstiltskin – lol thank you. If you say you knew it was Harry's sister in the last fic then I believe ya. That's a good thing you follow actually, I mentioned her before and then later on I continued with the character, it's something I've notice JKR doing so I incorporated it into my stories.
Lunatic Pandoral – I agree with you, Harry does seem weak. It's actually slightly because of getting hit with the killing curse again, his mind's slowly going mental on him, and that part with Hermione, well he just let her get her frustration out.
YamiSakura989 – lol I hope you did ok on that too. Sure I can start writing the names at the end. I actually just forgot about it because I hate when they sound familiar or sound good and I don't know what they are. LOL, my quotes…I love em too (not really but ya know). Thanks.
