Author Note: Hello People of The Internet! I have returned and life is good-ish. Yes I am back and Unemployed. No money but time to write. It may be a loss for me right now but a win for you guys.

Either way I do feel much better now. Your reviews were most appreciated; I even got some kind PMs.

E.L Girralo: Thanks for the suggestion but I'm not quite qualified. I suck with computers.

Sairen629: I was not that ill but thanks for worrying. I'm good.

Slynnr: DID YOU NEED TO SHOUT SUCH NICE MESSAGES TO ME! Hehe. Thanks. Also no Denny's in my country; no one provides free breakfast or Cake here. I had to buy my own. It was nice though; chocolate.

PoorlyThoughtOutPlan, AlexisJames92 and every one else who sent positive vibes and stuff: I am in fact religious. I follow Wesalic Wicca to be exact. Even so I am happy to accept help from any faith that will offer it. Your prayers are appreciated and vibes graciously returned. Thank you and may your days be as Blessed as you wish on others.

Then to everyone else who reviewed; Thank you so much for your comments. I appreciate every one of them, it helped me more than O think you could imagine and I am sorry I couldn't speed my return any faster though I did try.

I even appreciate that one review that wasn't quite so kind, it put up my review count. I'm nearly at 1,500 now.


Beta Note: Well damn. I've spent the last few weeks doing what I can to keep our Tia happy, and it was an incredibly difficult task! He just doesn't want to stay cheery for long. But, I can tell you that all of the nice responses he's gotten from you guys have been a real help. I've been scrolling through them every so often, and it cheers my up to know that the entire internet isn't a horrible cesspit of depravity.

However, whilst looking through them, I came across one, written Oh so Elegantly by one "Specky Clark", and I have a few choice things I want to say to you. However, most of them can't be put here, as would probably not be happy with me for it, so I have shall settle with something I am not perfect at. Logic.

Firstly, if you had read the not Properly, you would have noticed that Tia had stated that he would be back within five weeks, rather than abandoning the story entirely. You didn't pay attention, and made assumptions from there.

Secondly, this "Rule" you have proposed, some of the best stories I have ever read are unfinished, and never shall be finished, in one case because the author has passed away. If this were an imposed rule, Gems like Quantum Leap would be lost to us forever, and that would be a travesty.

And thirdly, what you have done is a seriously prickish thing to do. Tia stated that he is currently going through some stuff in his life right now, and you decide to use that as an opportunity to go on a fucking rant about how you hate the act of going on hiatus? Real dick move there, bud. If you do not like it, you are welcome to leave. Just don't make a fuss on the way out.

So, to summarise, you're a prick, shut the fuck up.

Celran Out! Turns and strides away into the shadows.


Daemon Sol Note: It elaborate on Celran's note, Fuck You, Specky Clark.

Author Note: Okay, how the HELL did you even get in here? You have your own story! Go work on that!

Daemon Sol: *Mysterious American Silence*

Author Note: sigh Okay, fine. If your interested, he has his own Harry Potter story. Its called 'The choice of Slytherin', and is defiantly worth a look. But not worth Swearing on my fan fiction, Mr Sol. That's Celran's job!

Daemon Sol: *Mysterious American Disappearance*

AN: Okaaaaaaay... Soooo, on to the story, I guess? I've kept you waiting long enough.


Chapter 85

"Morning, Luna." Sirius black greeted her from his breakfast table. Luna and her father were staying with Sirius, Remus, and Harry, for the weekend whilst Magical pest control was dealing with the Doxy infestation that had found its way into their house.

"Good morning, Mr Black." Luna smiled at the older man as she slid into the stool. Luna liked Sirius, he was a great parent for Harry. The older boy had gotten much more comfortable with himself since moving in with him. Sirius himself seemed in better shape since she had seen him last. When she has first seen him his aura was ever so dull, it was still grey now but seemed much brighter than it had been. "Has my father left for work yet?"

"Yes, he left about half an hour ago."

Luna nodded and poured herself a glass of the offered orange juice. "Is Harry awake yet?"

Sirius was always a tiny bit jealous of Potter men, as they always found their soul mates early in their lives. Sirius truly believed his chance for love had gone forever, he wasn't the same man since prison. "Yes. He was up pretty early, he's in his study, I think."

"I'll go interrupt him later." Luna nodded mostly to herself as Remus handed her the bowl of scrambled eggs. "Thank you, Professor Lupin."

"Just call me Remus." He responded, he had been telling the children this since the end of his teaching at Hogwarts. Luna knew she would likely never listen; He had the green colour she related to teachers although it was a little dull and shared with brown.

Luna nodded again and tucked into her breakfast. She liked this house very much, the people were nice and there wasn't a Nargle or Doxy in sight.

"Hey Luna." Fred and George came in to the kitchen too, they, and Ron, were also staying with Harry. Ginny was visiting with Fray.

"Hi."

"Looks like Ron's already been here." George laughed to himself. Ron wasn't the neatest eater in the world. Luna did wonder how Harry was able to tell the two apart, he didn't have the aura sight like she did. Even then it was hard. Fred's aura was yellow and George's was a light orange; she could only tell the difference if they were side by side. It was harder to tell when they were pranking; their auras filled with a playful pink passion.

"Fred, an owl left this for you." Sirius was another one who could tell the twins apart, he passed the envelope right to Fred.

"Who's owling you?" George questioned leaning over his brother's shoulder.

"Cedric Diggory." Fred shrugged. The twins shared a look, much like the ones she had seen the older Ravenclaw girls share on occasion. They both stood and hurried out of the room almost knocking their younger brother over in the process.

"Hey Sirius." Ron seemed a little uncomfortable addressing the man by his first name but was trying. "Is Harry out yet?"

The man shook his head finally giving up on reading the Daily Profit drivel for the day.

"I'm going to find him. Thank you for breakfast."

"Good luck getting in there." Remus took a mug of tea and walked out of the room; he thought if anyone could get Harry's attention away from his little study it would be his girlfriend.

Ron followed the blond girl up the stairs. She skipped on bare feet. It took a while for Ron to understand what Harry saw in the strange girl; she was nice but Ron couldn't understand the attraction. It had been- though he would never admit it, ever- one of his mother's romance books that helped him understand. Harry and Luna were quite alike, they understood each other on levels no one else could.

The door to Harrys second Study was open but Luna could see the wards strung across the doorway. Luna held her arm across the doorway to prevent Ron from entering although he wouldn't have been able to enter even without Luna's intervention.

This house may have been one of the entire wizarding world's newest buildings but this room looked old. Bookshelves lined each of the walls; sparing only the door and one small nook. Nestled in the nook was Harrys pensive; surrounded by sliver vials of memories.


Harry was sat cross legged on the soft brown rug that graced the floor of the room. His eyes were closed and his head dipped so that he was looking down into the pensive. His aura was a lovely vibrant shade of gold but Wrackspurts buzzed intrusively inside it. Luna watched a second as Harry took a breath red and green swirls melded into the aura for just a moment. These extra colours only came when one was being themselves, their truest, happiest, or just contentest selves. Harry glowed when he was alone in his own magic.

"What's he doing?" Luna placed her finger delicately to her lips in response. Ron's aura had nothing on Harry's but it was commendable either way. It was Chudly Cannon orange but Luna found out it filed with dark blue light when he was wand making. That was Ron's truest place.

Luna turned back to Harry. His magic buzzed through the air. Even she wasn't quite sure what he was doing but either way it was very powerful. It was obvious – at least to Luna – that Harry had become even more powerful since his birthday. Of course she didn't know why yet but she was trying to find out.

"Lun-" Luna lifted her hand and held it over Rons' mouth. She pointed to Harry who was now lifting his left hand wand. He was right handed but that wand was nowhere on his person.

Sparks flew dramatically through the room, whatever magic Harry was doing it wasn't visible on his person. He sat another moment, muttering and moving his wand around.

Then finally he sat up and placed his wand back in its holster.

"Do you know what he was just-"

"Ronald Shush." Luna scolded and tapped the wards covering the doorway. They tingled a bit but didn't hurt her; Even Harrys magic couldn't hurt Luna though they still wouldn't allow her entrance.

Harry looked to the door and smiled widely at the pair. He was wearing his basilisk hide suit, though the hood was sat on the arm chair with his regular clothes. Harry tapped the wards with his hand and invited the two in.

"Harry you've collected some Wrackspurts?"

"Oh, Sorry." Ron was taken aback by Harry waving his hands beside his head. "They gone yet?" Luna shook her head but Harry just shrugged and brought his hands down. "I'll deal with them later." He attached his primary wand back onto his arm and began pulling his casual robes on over the suit.

"What is this room?" Ron asked, looking around at the books, some of which were older than Hogwarts, while others were younger than he was.

"My just study, I like to keep my pensive protected. I was just going over some memories I have. I'm trying to stay one step ahead, you know?" Harry sat down on his desk and opened what looked to be a very heavily warded draw. He pulled out an even more heavily warded book.

"It looked some powerful magic you were doing." Ron commented trying to bring Harry back to the present.

"Oh those were just some mental shields. Nothing much." Harry was scratching across the pages of the book. "I've noticed something."

"Yeah?" Luna leaned opposite him on the desk smiling sweetly.

"There's some muggle theories on time travel." Harry's eyes strayed to one section of his book filled walls. "Wizarding theories deal mostly with the Ontological paradox."

"You said that like I'm supposed to understand?" Ron questioned.

"Give me a second. Right, it was named after a scientist. This basically means, in the most basic sense. Everything in the past has already happened, everything that you would do if you travelled back in time has already happened. Your travel is a fixed event and you can't actually change anything. It makes some sense in short travels like with a normal time turner."

"Okay I get that." Ron nodded as Harry turned to look at him. Luna nodded too.

"It doesn't work for what I did a few years ago. I've changed events. Some theories state creating of new dimensions which I'm led to agree with. However, things still seem to be happening in sort of the same order as last time. Things are changing but the big dramatic events seem to be coming back round to what I remember."

"And that's bad."

"Could be very bad."

"Alright, why though?"

"Maybe it's the universe trying to right itself or something, but I don't quite-" Here, there was a slight of pause. "Any way, that makes me worry about Cedric. I saved his life, right? He died last time. Maybe the universe will try and kill him differently to keep itself in order."

"Maybe if we keep Cedric alive it will force the –?"

"Timeline."

"Timeline," Ron agreed. "Into the way we need it to go."

"Ronald, you're a genius!" Luna exclaimed.

"No one has said that to me since mum saw my last report card." Ron's ear tips blushed.

"I agree with Luna. You're smarter than you look."

"Fred's getting letters from Cedric, so maybe we should ask him if Cedric's had any… accidents or anything."

"Good idea Love." Harry blushed ever so slightly at his girlfriend. "Let's go- I'm done in here for a while." Harry warded his book heavily, and they all went to hunt down a twin.


AN-/Umm after that speach from Celran I feel as if some of my Manilyness has been drained away/ *Sigh* Oh well.

What do you think? I would love it if you all reviewed your thoughts. I'll be posting every two weeks for a little while. So I will see you then.

You should also really take a look at 'The Choice of Slytherin' He's a great writer and has helped this fic on occasion.

Anyway until next time. ~T.I.A and Celran
