Hope you guys enjoyed the last chapter! I'm sorry I hadn't updated for a while. I kind of forgot about this story. Oops. Sorry guys. Anyways, here's the next chapter…
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, even though I wish I did! I also don't own the changing universe theory, which came from Doctor Who. WHY CAN'T I OWN THEM! Oh well, I will have to survive.
Chapter 3 - He's Gone
After almost 3 hours of playing a very fast-moving game of rounders that included much cheating, a nosebleed and one very unhappy six year old, Harry, Reo's and Duncan's team were victorious. They all cheered when the final scored were announced and congratulated each other and the other team. Then it was time to get back to Reo's house and have some dinner before turning for it was past ten thirty and they were shattered.
When they reached Reo's house, which was just down the road from the park, they rushed in through the front door laughing at one of Reo's jokes. Reo's mum was waiting in the kitchen for them with dinner ready for them. It was sweet and sour chicken.
"Hi, Mum. Food looks great," Reo said enthusiastically as she seated herself at the table. "Oh, yeah, Mum, this is Harry Evans. You know, the exchange student."
"Yes, I remember, dear. I'm not that old," Reo's mum laughed. She had a laugh that reminded him of Mrs Weasly. In fact, her personality and stature reminded him very much of Mrs Weasly. "Well, it's very nice to meet you Harry. I hope Reo and Sophie made you feel welcome?"
"Very, thank you," Harry answered. He glanced down at his place almost expecting it fill with food magically but instead Reo's Mum just put down a plate of food. It smelled delicious.
"Well, tuck in!" Reo said happily. Harry didn't need telling twice.
Ron, Hermione and Ginny sat in Dumbledore's office…waiting. What they had just witnessed would change the lives of the worlds' people. But they could do nothing. He was gone. He was dead and there was no way of bringing him back. Voldemort would take the world by force. The death eaters' numbers would be on the rise once it got out that Harry Potter was dead.
The office door opened and Dumbledore walked in. the three of them stood up as he entered but he merely nodded at them indicating them to sit down. He sighed heavily and took a seat behind his desk. The chin of the old man rested on the tips of his fingers, which were pursed together.
"I need you tell me what happened tonight. It could seal or save the fate of the world." The words that Dumbledore uttered rang through the silence in the room. It was as though this awoke the three from a deep sleep.
"I'm sorry, sir. There was nothing we could do," Hermione almost sobbed. "He was trying to save us when…" Her voice trailed of and she began to sob quietly into Ron's shoulder. He patted her on the back and continued for her in a strained voice as though it was taking all his strength to keep talking.
"… When V-V-Voldemort hit him with the Avada Kedavra. He fell to the floor and his scar, well, it kind of burned a blinding gold colour then the light engulfed him and within a couple seconds Harry and the light were gone. Even if the light had only transported his body to another location he would still be d-d-dead…" and Ron trailed off like Hermione. He couldn't continue.
"I think I am going to have to agree with you Mr Weasly. I have heard of this happening before. No one has ever returned after that has happened and, as you so rightly put it, even if they did return they would be dead. I'm so sorry. There is nothing we can do. He is gone and cannot return," Dumbledore stated.
"What will that mean for the wizarding world? I mean Harry was the only one who could stop him." Ginny said the word him with such force and anger that Ron was almost scared.
"Yes I am afraid so. He will no doubt try to take over the ministry of magic before trying to wipe out the mud-bloods, half-bloods and blood-traitors. This will most probably be war that we will never win. Voldemort has the unfair advantage of successfully killed the only one who could stop him. All we can do is try to hold him off for now. Right now Hogwarts is the safest place you could be," Dumbledore finished.
"So, there is nothing we can do?" Hermione asked.
"I'm afraid not," Dumbledore replied. "I think you had better go to the hospital wing and let madam Pomfrey check you over then give you a potion for dreamless sleep." He wrote something on a scrap of parchment. "Give this to her. She'll do the rest."
The three teenagers left the office in silence. Still not being able to accept that Harry was gone.
Sorry that chapter was so short but that seemed like a good place to end it. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed writing it. But I need some advice- should Harry find out about:
A)The Harry Potter Books
B)The Harry Potter Books and Films
C)None at all
