Disclamier- I own none of JK's characters. I wish they were mine. However, any characters that aren't in HP belong to me.

Author's Note- I am so sorry to everyone that I haven't been updating. Everything has just been so hectic lately. My Badminton tournements are coming up soon so that will take up some more of my time but trust me, chapter eight has already been started and since I know exactly what I want to happen with it, it will take no time to write. Some good feedback for the last chapter, though. Thank you always to my wonderful reviewers;

Harry94Ginny- I don't understand what you are talking about. Chapter 6 isn't full? Seems full to me. Maybe its just your computer

GoSnOgGaTrEe- lol. Yeah. In the original chapter 6 I first wrote, he was in it for a little while. But then I scraped that because I really needed a break from him. lol. Yeah, I really hate him too. Sometimes I have to stop writing a scene that he's in because it pisses me off so much to write about him. lol. It would just make things so much easier on myself to make Ginny lose the baby and for Clay to die, but I am sorry x 1000000 because things like that probably won't happen. And unfortunately, Harry is not going to piece together the puzzle that quickly. Remember, he's probably lost alot of brain cells from all that shit he's been using. But when it comes time to Harry realizing that drinking and smoking his life away is bad, it will be a good scene, and I'm pretty sure everyone will be happy with it.

Chrissy- lol. Yeah maybe he is grumpy from not getting any. Hey, if I were 30 and not getting any, I'd be pretty grumpy too. lol! I think you'll be quite happy with this chapter :-D

Lisette Black- Another new reviewer. lol. Happy to see that you think my story is the best, because, well it is. LOL jk. Meh, I think its average. I'll try and update as much as I can.

Mister Bigbucks- lol. Yes, I've finally updated. It's taken me awhile because I had written this chapter a totally different way and then I scraped it because I wasn't happy with it. And then I've been busy with school, and exams and what not. So yeah, I'm glad you were happy with Chapter 6.

Bandolera- lol. Yeah, Harry is my little druggie! LMAO! Ginny, well, she's going to be taken aback when she finds out she is friends with Malfoy's daughter but all will be well. lol and Yes, Aidan is a cutie!

Justin- Aww thanks. You're such a sweetheart :-)

Awakening from the Past

Chapter Seven

His eyes in eclipse,
Pale-cold his lips,
The light of his hopes unfed,
Mute his tongue,
His bow unstrung
With the tears he hath shed,
Backward drooping his graceful head,
Love is dead:
His last arrow is sped;
He hath not another dart;
Go–carry him to his dark deathbed;
Bury him in the cold, cold heart–
Love is dead

-Alfred Lord Tennyson

Ginny tossed her keys onto the counter as she entered the kitchen. She had worked overtime that evening, in order to finish paperwork for the Minister, that needed to go out the next day.

'You're late.' Clay stated, as he entered the kitchen.

'I know. I had to finish some paperwork.'

'Normally, I really wouldn't give two shits about whether or not you were late coming home from work. But now that I'm going to be staying home and watching over you and our unborn baby, don't.be.late. Got it?'

'Wait a minute. You're staying home? What about Quidditch?' Ginny asked, taking a seat at the kitchen table and shut her eyes.

'Well, I'll be playing maximum two nights a week. '

'But you don't need to worry about me. It's not like I could go into labour at anytime. I'm not even that far along yet!' Ginny snapped.

'Don't you dare take that tone with me. I'm going to make sure that you are treating that body of yours well, god knows I don't want a fat kid. I'm going to be making sure that you are doing everything right so that my heir comes out nice and healthy. And most importantly...' Clay said, coming up behind and giving her shoulders a squeeze as he whispered into her ear, 'I'm going to make sure that you're not trying to get rid of our baby.'

Ginny pulled away from him slowly. 'Why would I try to get rid of our child?

'I think the more appropriate question is why wouldn't you.'

'I'm not as cruel of a person as you are.' Was her only reply.

'Whatever. Anyways, your daughter wrote you a letter. It's opened up on the kitchen table.'

'Oh so she's my daughter now! After you spent the past couple years making me say our daughter whether we were out in public or not.' Clay didn't reply though because he has already left the kitchen.

Ginny wanted to rip all her hair out, strand by strand, as she grabbed the letter and began to read it. However, her daughter's letter made her smile. She was having fun. She had made friends with Oliver and Katie's son and... Malfoy's Daughter! She couldn't believe what she was reading. Her daughter. Her daughter had made friends with Malfoy's daughter. It just didn't add up. Malfoy may be dead but if she knew Pansy, which she did, that girl would have grown up in a house full of lies, prejudice and corupption. Being the daughter of Draco Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson should make this little girl rude, bossy and downright cruel! And yet her daughter made her sound like a saint. But who was she to hold old grudges.

'At least if one of us gets to be happy, its her.' Ginny said.


Friday came in a bliss, and for Hogwarts new trio, this was a good thing because today they would be meeting their Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.

'I hope he isn't some old pervert.' Maykala said as she, Elizabeth and Aidan made their way to class.

'Why would they hire a pervert to teach here?' Aidan asked.

'They probably wouldn't know. I mean, would you openly come out and say "Oh yes, and before you hire me, I just need to let you know, I get off on young kids." I mean like, they wouldn't hire him. He was looking for a job, not to get fired on the spot.'

'Yeah but sometimes you can tell with certain people!'

Elizabeth shut her arguing friends out. They sort of reminded her of her Uncle Ron and Aunt Hermione they way they were bickering. But by tuning out her friends, she also tuned out the rest of her surroundings. She flat out, collided with someone, causing her to fall to the ground.

'You okay?'

Elizabeth looked up to see Noah smiling.

'I'm soo sorry. I was just trying to tune these two out and I guess I completely tuned everything else out too.' Elizabeth replied, as she picked herself up off the ground.

'It's alright. It's good to see you. I haven't seen you since you were sorted into Gryffindor. How do you like your first week of school?' Noah asked.

'It's been alright. Classes are pretty good. How has your's been?'

'Boring as per usual. Being a first year was great. Wish I was still one.' Noah replied.

'Why?'

'Because when you're a first year, everything is new and exciting. By the end of first year, everything turns into routine.'

'Izzy, let's go! Or we're going to be late!' Maykala called out.

'I better get going too. McGonagall will have my head on a silver platter if I'm late this early into the semester.' Noah said. Elizabeth smiled and turned to walk away but he called out her name. She turned back around. 'Maybe we could hang out sometime. On a weekend or sometime when you're not busy.' Noah said.

Elizabeth felt herself clutching her books tighter against her chest. 'I'd like that.' was her reply.

'Great! I'll see you later, then.' Noah said, walking off to join some of his friends at the end of the hall.

'Izzy! Let's go!' Maykala yelled.

'Coming!' Elizabeth replied.

'What did he want?' Aidan asked, when Elizabeth had caught up to them.

'He wanted to know if we could hang out sometime.' Elizabeth replied, smiling.

'And what did you say?'

'I said I'd like that.'

'Aw, that's so cute. Doesn't he have a girlfriend though? That strawberry blonde that was hangingall over himthe first night we got here?' Maykala asked.

'I don't know if she's his girlfriend or not.'

'Well just be careful. He's a Slytherin after all.' Aidan said.

'What! What's that suppost to mean? I'm a Slytherin.' Maykala stated, defensively.

'Well that's completely beyond the point. You don't even act like you're a Slytherin. Here you are, walking with the two of us, when both of us should be your rivals' Aidan replied.

'I may not act like a Slytherin, but I am one at heart. I am a Malfoy after all!'

'What's the point beyond the meaning of that!'

Aidan and Maykala bickered the whole rest of the way. When they got to class, Aidan sat at a deak with Elizabeth, while Maykala sat across from them with Flint.

'Where's the teacher?' Elizabeth asked, looking around the classroom after everyone had filed in and taken their seats.

'Probably drunk again.' Aidan replied, winking. As soon as he had said that, the door flung open and in ran a panting and tired looking Harry.

'Sorry I'm late. I had a couple of matters to take care of.' he said, placing his books down on his desk.

'Sure you did.' Flint muttered.

Harry turned quickly to look at him. 'What's your name?'

'Damien Flint.'

'Flint, eh? Should have guess by the teeth.' A few sniggers were heard. 'I knew your dad. Not a pleasent bloke. In the end though, he go what was coming to him.'

'How dare you, you fucking bast-'

'Fifty! Points from Slytherin and a week of detention with... with.. well, we'll figure that out later. No one speaks to me like that.' Harry snapped. 'Now, looking at this attendence sheet, a lot of you are the children of many people I went to school with. And.. also by looking at this, we have somewhat of a celebrity amongst us. Miss Weasley-Devereaux.' Harry looked at the girl who took after her mother in so many ways. Looking at her started to become quite painful because of the fact that she looked so much like the love of his life. He walked over and stood in front of her desk. 'I use to go to school with a "celebrity" myself. Name was Harry Potter.'

'You knew Harry Potter sir! What was he like?' Rubie-Sue piped up.

'He was a pretty good guy. Always put the needs of others before his own. He could be stubborn sometimes, though. Wouldn't accept help, even when he truly needed it the most. And it was that, that cost him.' Harry stated, then sighed, 'Big time.'

'So if you knew Harry Potter, then you must have known my mum.. and my aunt and uncle.' Elizabeth said.

'Yeah and my parents too.' Aidan replied.

'And mine!' Said a Gryffindor boy.

'Mine too!' a Slytherin piped up.

Harry looked only at Elizabeth but spoke to them all. 'Yeah. I did know them.' And he left it at that. 'Now, getting back onto topic, I'm Noah Weasnger. I'll be your Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Now, I don't know if you know this but back in my first year, we leanred very simple stuff. Minor counter-curses. Now, the Ministry wants you first years to learn about the Unforgivable Curses, the history on Lord Voldemort and even...Harry Potter. Stuff fourth years would have normally learned. So for now, I'll start by teaching you about the Unforgivable curses. Can anyone tell me how many there are?' Harry asked.

No one raised their hand and Harry smirked.

Pity Ron and Hermione haven't had kids yet... he thought. But suddenly, Elizabeth slowly raised her hand. 'Yes?' Harry asked.

'There are three of them.' She said.

'Good. Do you know why they're called the Unforgivables?'

'Using them is the most unforgivable thing you could ever do. Controlling someone to do you bidding, torturing someone until they wish they were dead or just flat out killing someone. All of them could land you in Azakaban.' Maykala spoke out.

'Very good, Miss...?' Harry asked.

'Malfoy.'

Harry's face became very serious. 'I knew your father, unfortunatly. He was quite an ass. He too, got what was coming to him in the end.' Harry stated, and with that he walked back to his desk. 'Now, I want you all to start on a foot long, point form note, on the history of the Unforgivable curses. It will be handed in for Monday. You can get started.' Harry sat down at his desk and put his head in his hands. He couldn't believe that his entire class, well the majority of his class, was made up of the children of his old school mates and rivals.

Guess a lot of them had the same idea Ginny and I had. Harry thought smirking to himself. Then, however, his smirk faded. Thank god I didn't end up getting her pregnant. I would have felt so terrible if I had left her by herself to raise a child of ours all on her own.

'Uh Professor?' came an innocent voice through his thoughts. He looked up to see Elizabeth's hand up in the air. He walked over to her deak and said, 'Is something the matter Miss Weas...'

'Elizabeth.' she replied, smiling.

'Elizabeth. Is something the matter?' Harry asked.

'No. Actually, I just wanted to let you know that I'm done but I wanted to know if you could check it over for me before I hand it in.'

'You're done already? Wow. Yeah, I'll check it over for you.' Harry said, kneeling down beside her desk. He couldn't help but gasp slightly as he read it. It was great. Better than great. It was amazing.

'Is it alright?' Elizabeth asked, 'I know I should have put more detail into it but-'

'No, no, no, no. This- this is amazing. You've got some wonderful knowledge about this stuff. Where did you learn all this from?' Harry asked, astonished.

Elizabeth blushed. 'Well, my mum always said I did inherit my dad's skills in the Defense Against Dark Arts.'

'Really. I never knew they taught that class at Durmstrang.'

Urgh. I should have said that. I should have just said Aunt 'Mione taught me. But then again, if he knew her, he would know that she's not very good. Hurry up and just say something! He's looking at you werid! 'I never knew either but hey, you learn something new everyday.'

'Indeed.' Harry replied and got up from his kneeling position. 'Alright everyone. There's about 30 seconds left to class so make sure it's done for Monday.' The bell rang. 'Have a good weekend everyone. Elizabeth, a word please.'

Maykala and Aidan looked quickly at her, puzzled. 'Go on. I'll catch up with guys.' Elizabeth said. She walked up to his desk after her friends had left, feeling slightly nervous. 'Did I do or say something wrong, Professor?' she asked.

'What! No, of course not. I was... I was just wondering what you plans are for the weekend.'

Elizabeth was confused but replied, 'Uh, probably just handing out with some friends and doing some homework. Why?'

'I was just wondering. If you're not busy on Sunday afternoon, I would like to have a little chat with you.'

'Uhh... sure. I guess...'

'Good. So let's say 4:30, Sunday afternoon, right here. Now go on and catch up with your friends.'


'Hey! Wait up!' Elizabeth called out to Aidan and Maykala as she ran to catch up with them.

'Hey, what did the pervert want? He didn't... trying anything on you, did he?' Maykala asked.

'No! Oh god, gross! No he just wanted to know if I would come by Sunday afternoon to have a "little chat" with him.' Elizabeth said.

'A chat? And that's it?' Aidan asked.

'I honestly don't see where you guys are taking this. Aidan, you said it yourself earlier that he couldn't possibly be a pervert because they wouldn't hire him. Besides, he was friends with my mum, my aunt, my uncle, all of their friends. They wouldn't have hung out with a pervert.' Elizabeth stated. She had no idea why she was defending him.

'Alright, calm down. People change though, Izzy. Just because he wasn't a perv when our parents knew him in school doesn't mean he hasn't changed.' Maykala said. Elizabeth didn't bother to reply. She didn't know why she felt she had to fight this topic with her friends. It was just something inside her that made her feel obliged to do so. 'Anyways, I'm going to head off to my common room. I'll see you guys at dinner.' Maykala said, as she headed off in the direction of the dungeons.

'Well I'm heading straight to dinner. You coming?' Aidan asked

'No. I'm not hungry. I'm just going to head to my dorm, maybe write my mum or something. I'll see you after dinner.' Elizabeth replied.


Dear Mum,

Hope all is well at home. Today was my first Defense Against the Dark Arts class. My teacher is alot better than I thought he was going to be. He use to go to school with you. His name is Professor Noah Weasnger. He said he knew you, Uncle Ron, Aunt Hermione, dad and a bunch of other people you went to school with. He knew Maykala's dad but he didn't have anything nice to say about him. And he said he knew Aidan's parents too. He wants to have a chat with me on Sunday afternoon but I have no idea what he wants to talk about. But I guess I better get started on some homework.

Write Back Soon

Love you for eternity
