A Second Chance
"Listen, I know it's not much of a lead, but I'm going to go and look at this statue at least find out what the diadem looks like. Wait for me and keep, you know—the other one—safe." Harry says to Ron and Hermione as they go to the Chamber of Secrets.
"Harry, I can take you to the Ravenclaw Common Room and show what the Diadem looks like." Said Cho standing up
Ginny got to her feet but said rather fiercely "No Luna will take Harry won't you, Luna?"
"oooh, yes, I'd like to" said Luna Happily and Cho sat back down looking disappointed.
Cho stands back up not wanting her chance to make up to her ex-boyfriend that she never meant to hurt slip away. As Harry and Luna were about to leave the room of requirement Cho walked up to them ignoring what Ginny requested and said "Hold up Harry and Luna"
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Ginny questioned angrily "I thought told you to sit down and let Luna help Harry Chang."
"What does it looking I'm doing Weasley I'm helping Harry and I don't care what you say." Cho shot back. "And we don't have time for your petty ass behavior okay, you really need to grow up"
"Says the one who cried like a baby after losing a match" Ginny said callously
"Do you have to bring that up right now" Cho said annoyed
"It's just too funny to bring up Chang when beat you not once but twice." Ginny harassingly said
The crowd standing at awe watching the two young women that were romantically involved with The Boy Who Lived argue not wanting to take a side, Harry on the other hand didn't have the time for the two girls' their immature behavior at the cusp of the battle. He shouts, "BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP!" both Cho and Ginny stopped arguing and looked at Harry with everyone else.
"Now then Cho come with me, and Luna I would rather be three wands alive than two wands' dead" Harry said calming down
Ginny balls her fists as she wanted Luna solely helping Harry with finding the Ravenclaw's lost Diadem "B-But Harry-"
"I don't want to hear it right now, Ginny. Cho is going to help me whether you like it or not" Harry growled
Ginny sat back down not wanting to argue with Harry any longer with her scowl remains on the Asian Ravenclaw.
"Alright Harry" Cho nodded and joined him.
Cho stops and apologizes "Before we go, I just want to say that I'm so sorry about our fight that we had about Marietta betraying us. I thought she was a nice person, but she wasn't, I realized that she was manipulating me to stay away from you."
"Yeah, I'm sorry about mistreating you that year as well Cho but we don't have time to apologize to each other at the moment." Harry assured her.
"Okay let's go"
Cho, Luna, Harry head towards the Ravenclaw Tower sneaking past Death-Eater patrols under the Invisibility Cloak. As they reached the Ravenclaw Common Room, Luna solves the Riddle, and three of them enter Cho and Luna's common. Both girls were happy that their common room remained the same as they left it.
Meanwhile at The Chamber of Secrets, Ron and Hermione pulled out a Basilisk fang from the skeletal remains of the monster that terrorized the school five years ago, to destroy Helga Hufflepuff's cup with Voldemort's soul that they stole from Gringotts not too long ago. Ron places the cup down on the floor for Hermione who has the Basilisk fang in her hand to destroy it.
Hermione gazes at the cursed object and raises the Basilisk fang to stab it but she hesitates because it would affect not only Voldemort but Harry as well. Ron assures her by saying that he destroyed Salazar Slytherin's Locket, Harry destroyed Voldemort's Dairy even Dumbledore destroyed one as well. With that Hermione stabs Helga Hufflepuff's cup. Suddenly, a dark purple mist erupts from the cup and creates a tidal wave in attempt to kill Ron and Hermione, they ran to the exit. As the wave dies down Ron and Hermione share a long and passionate kiss.
On the other side of lake Voldemort felt pain all over his rudimentary body as he screams in agony, Nagini also started to twitch in pain as well. He then blasts the shield that was to protect the school Pius Thickinesse came up to Voldemort before he said anything Voldemort shouts, "AVADA KEDAVRA" The green light hits the puppet minister for magic square in the chest killing him instantly before he even hits the ground. Voldemort then blasts the shield that protected the castle.
At the same time, Harry looks at the Rowena Ravenclaw's statue but fell to his knees as his scar burns intensely, Luna and Cho quickly came over to his side and set him to sit on the couch. He smiled for a moment as Helga Hufflepuff's cup was destroyed, he sees a vision of the Diadem of Rowena Ravenclaw being kept in the Room of lost things.
"Harry are you alright?" Cho asked
"Yeah, I'm fine." Harry replied as the pain in his scar starts to go away, he then says in his normal voice, "I know where the Diadem is Cho."
"Where is it?" She asked
"The Room of the Lost Artifacts." He answers
"Okay." She nodded then asks "Do you want me and Luna to come with you to get it?
"Sure, you guys came this far why stop now." Said Harry
Cho smiled at that as well Harry and for a moment, they looked into each other's eyes and were about lean into with each other for a kiss until Luna says in panic as she looked outside the window, "The shield is down."
Harry and Cho looked over at the window and saw the barrier that protected the school was now broken and the Battle of Hogwarts goes into effect. As the Students, Teachers, and Members of the Order of the Phoenix battle the Death Eaters outside, Harry, Cho, and Luna exit the Ravenclaw Common Room. They find the Grey Lady Helena Ravenclaw and daughter of Rowena Ravenclaw confirms that Voldemort hid her mother's Diadem crown in the Room of Requirement.
Harry, Cho, and Luna continue forward under the invisibility cloak to the hidden room however they stop and see McGonagall arguing with The Carrows and Amycus spits into McGonagall's face Disgusted by this, Harry takes off the Invisibility Cloak and fires the curiartis curse at the Death Eater causing him to spazz out. At the same time, Cho hits Alecto with Petrificus Totalus as she was about to pull up her sleeve and attempts to call reinforcements by us her dark mark tattooed on her arm. McGonagall applauds the raven-haired teens after explaining to their former Transfiguration Professor what they were doing at Ravenclaw tower, she informs them that she will round up some students and teachers to defend the castle she then tells the three good luck as she leaves to join in the fierce melee.
Harry, Cho, and Luna continue going to the Room of Requirement fighting some Death Eaters that managed to get inside the castle along the way. They arrived at the entrance and walk past it three times until the doors open. As the three enter the Room of the Lost Artifacts Draco, Pansy, Crabbe, Goyle, and Millicent snuck inside with the intention of delivering Harry to Voldemort. Unknown to the five Slytherins, Ron and Hermione were right behind them after tracking Harry with the Marauders' Map.
Harry, Luna, and Cho walk deeper into the Room of Lost Artifacts Harry's scar starts to burn him both Cho and Luna stop and asks in unison "Harry are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm okay the Diadem is right there in that box on the small table" Harry said points at the small table.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure"
They approach the box on the small table, Harry opens the box and there it was the Lost Diadem of Rowena Ravenclaw. Both Cho and Luna were at awe at the sight of their founder's relic they were a bit eager to try it on but the two Ravenclaws knew it tainted with dark magic. Harry picks up the Diadem but he, Cho, and Luna hear a voice
"That's far enough Potter." Said Malfoy as he, Crabbe, Goyle, Pansy, Millicent pointed their wands at Harry, Cho, and Luna then tells three "Now drop the Wands and come with us the Dark Lord wants to see you."
"What I thought we were going to kill him." Crabbe Protested
"No Crabbe the Dark Lord wants him alive not dead you idiot!" Pansy shouted
. "Pansy is right you dolt the dark lord wants to kill Potter himself." Said Malfoy
"Fuck that I'm going to kill him myself Malfoy. He's going to be dead anyway, Let's face it your pathetic father fell out of favor with the Dark Lord like you are falling out of favor with me." Crabbe growled he points his wand at Harry then shouts "AVADA KEDAVRA!"
As the green light was about to hit Harry, without warning Pansy jumps right in front of Harry taking the killing curse full force killing her. Everyone in the room was shocked at what the Slytherin mean girl just did. Before Draco could say anything to his supposed best friend and bodyguard, Ron, and Hermione join in and now it's five on four Crabbe fires the killing curse at Hermione, but it misses and made a run for it like cowards Ron chases after them and yells "THAT WAS MY GIRLFRIEND YOU BASTARD!"
"So, Hermione you and Ron." Said Harry "About time"
"Yep, we destroyed the Horcrux." Hermione giggled
"Wow she looks pleased with herself about something else other than destroying the cursed founders' objects." Said Cho
"Yeah it looks that way." Harry chuckled
"AHHHH!" screamed Ron running past them "CRABBE SET THE BLOODY PLACE ON FIRE!"
As Harry, Ron, Hermione, Luna, and Cho ran the fire grew out control form in dangerous creatures like snakes, dragons, and chrimeas. Soon all five were cornered but with quick thinking from Ron, they hopped on some brooms with Luna going on Cho's broom, and they all flew off. Harry throws the Diadem into the fire causing the fire to accelerate even more. Draco, Crabbe, Goyle, and Millicent all climbed on to the junk pile Crabbe and Millicent fell into the fire due to their weight as Draco and Goyle climbed up to the top. Harry looks back at the two Slytherins and turns back to save them, Ron joins in, Harry takes Draco while Ron saves Goyle. They all manage to fly of the Room of Lost Artifacts with no more deaths. Draco and Goyle made run for it like cowards again.
"Um thanks." Said Cho disgusted by the two Slytherins cowardly behavior.
"It's okay Cho leave them." Harry assures her
"Harry where to now mate?" Asked Ron
"Voldemort is at the Shrieking Shack." Answered Harry
"Okay Harry." Hermione nodded
"Do you want me to come with you as well Harry?" asked Cho
"No, Cho I want you and Luna go join McGonagall and the others in the fight."
"Sure, thing Harry and good luck." Said Cho smiling at Harry
"Uhm... you too Cho." Said Harry as Cho and Luna leave to join the fight the others
Harry shook his head removing the thoughts of being back with Cho now as he, Hermione and Ron make their way through to the Shrieking Shack. When they were outside, they see all their friends and teachers fighting wave after wave of Voldemort's followers. At the corner of Hermione's eye, she sees her former dormmate and Ron's ex-girlfriend Lavender Brown and her other dormmate Parvati Patil and her Ravenclaw twin sister Padma are cornered and about get mauled by Fenrir Greyback, she, Harry, and Ron fired reducto curses at the Werewolf two in the chest and on in the head killing him. The girls thank the trio for saving them and left.
After Voldemort calls his forces to stop fighting and join him the Forbidden Forest as well as Harry to end it. Cho was standing with Hermione and Ron, after giving his last orders to his best friends, he looks at Cho. She was trying to hold back her tears, but she knew what he was going to do.
Harry begins with "Cho I-"
Cho places her hand on his lips and assures him "Don't say it Harry I know what you are going to do but just come back to me okay."
The two raven-haired teens leaned into each other kissed passionately a far better kiss than they had in the Room of Requirement three years ago before their Christmas Holiday. It felt like the universe gave the two raven-haired teens a second chance.
"I will Cho" Said Harry as they break off and he leaves for the Forbidden Forest.
"As the sun rises from the east, Cho and the others walked out of the Great Hall into the Courtyard and see Voldemort and his Death Eaters walking on the bridge with Hagrid holding Harry's 'dead' body. The Dark Lord steps forward gleefully at his accomplishment he set out to do seventeen years ago.
"HARRY POTTER IS DEAD!"
"No! NO!" Cho yelled as tears fell down her cheeks as the Dark Lord laughs at her anguish
"Yes Ms. Chang Potter is dead and if I were you, I would put that good little Ravenclaw brain to use and serve me" Said Voldemort then he turns to Harry's friend and other allies "As do you all. Serve me or die where you stand."
Draco and Neville walk toward the Dark Lord, he addresses Draco first "Welcome back Draco" Voldemort tries to hug Draco, but the Malfoy scion punches him in the face and snatches the Elder Wand from his hand this surprised everyone in the courtyard.
In a split-second Harry wakes and rolls out of Hagrid's arms then Draco then yells "POTTER!" as he throws the Elder Wand to Harry and runs to the Great Hall. Cho smiled when she sees Harry alive while Voldemort was furious at the sight of Harry being alive once more. Neville shouts as pulls the Sword of Godric Gryffindor out of the sorting hat, "YOU SEE VOLDEMORT HARRY IS ALIVE AND THE FIGHT IS NOT OVER!"
Harry runs into a corner in the castle and quickly pulls out his original wand and cast reparo fixing it brand new then breaking the first Deathly Hallow into pieces. In search of a wand Voldemort walks up to a Death Eater and telekinetically lifted him up and slamming him into the ground hard then taking his wand.
"Where are you, Potter?" Voldemort asked
"I'm right here." Said Harry standing on the top of the stairs leading to the grand staircase.
"Where's the Elder Wand" He questioned
"Oh, here I think belongs to you" Harry replies then throws the broken Elder Wand to the Dark Lord.
Voldemort looked at the broken Elder Wand then at Harry who had a satisfying smile on his face he screams "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA AT WHAT YOU DONE!"
"Yes, I have, and that wand never belong to anyone Tom, so why not we settle this like gentlemen."
"Fine Potter."
Inside the Great Hall, Cho, Ginny, Hermione, and Luna were battling Bellatrix Lestrange, Cho disarms the mad witch with Explliarmus the wand flew into Cho's hand and says to Bellatrix "I'd give up if I were you there's no point in fighting anymore."
Bellatrix look at Cho, Hermione, Luna, and Ginny all pointing their wands at her she looks out of the blown out great hall at Harry struggling with Priori Incantantem with her master at the courtyard. She lets out a maniacal laugh "If take you look outside Chang your precious little Harry is going fall is going to the dark lord."
Cho look out of the hole at the same time Bellatrix tries to sneak up on Cho attempting to take her wand back in Cho's pocket but Ginny fires reducto creating a hole in the dark witch's chest, Bellatrix looks at her chest the falls to ground.
"Thanks Ginny" Said Cho
"No problem, Cho." Said Ginny
"Say, Ginny are you mad at me for going with Harry and Luna?" Asked Cho
"I was at first, but I realized that if there was anyone that truly deserved a second chance it would be you and it was just bad timing that year." Ginny replied, "Besides you and Harry would make a good couple."
Cho smiled at the idea, but it turns upside down when more Death Eaters show up Ginny shouts "THIS IS THE LAST OF THEM GIRLS!"
all three Hermione, Cho, and Luna screamed in unison "YOU GOT IT!"
Neville sees Nagini all alone he charges at the snake and slicing her head off, now that the Dark Lord is mortal again Harry fires Expelliarmus once more and at the same time Voldemort fires Avada Kedavra. With no more Horcruxes Harry uses this opportunity to increase his power of his spell and with that Voldemort fell his body disintegrated and the Second Wizarding War is over.
As Harry was praised by everyone for defeating Voldemort, he sees an Asian beauty smiling at him and he smiles back.
"HARRY!" Cho shouts out running towards him
"Cho!" Said Harry as he catches her in his arms
"You did it it's all over." Said Cho placing her head against his.
"Yep, I did it's finally over." Said Harry he lifts his head and looks into her chocolate brown eyes
They leaned into each other and shared another enthusiastic kiss they break off smiled at each other then they leave for Harry's favorite spot which is a tree stump by the black lake hand in hand so that no one can disturb them.
"So, what's the plan now." Asked Cho
"Well with Voldemort defeated I want to travel the world." Harry replied
"Sound likes fun." Said Cho
"Do you to want to come with me traveling the world?" Harry offered
"Of course, Harry I'd love to travel the world with you." Said Cho in a delighted voice accepting the offer
Harry and Cho lookout over the Black Lake thinking about all the places to travel in the world as well as being thankful for another chance at their relationship.
