Chapter 65: The Return
Note: Man I'm sorry about the updates, but the site was acting up and I wasn't going to add if no one knew that I had added another chapter. Well to another round of reviews.
To Kara Hitame: Moody isn't exactly dead. Remember Ron used a dark spell on him when he caught him spying on him. That's why he was able to talk to Dumbledore despite being removed from his body. The story is going to end, but I don't want people complaining that I rushed it.
To Hotkat 144: Thanks for your kind words about how Sirius handed Harry. Even though Sirius doesn't like Severus, he knows the law more then anyone.
To Moony's Fire: Voldemort used some spell to make people think that James was dead. No, until Severus and Marcus killed him, he wasn't dead. And yes, Sirius will find himself the subject of the law, but not right now.
To Princess Star Neko: You would think that Harry wouldn't really care about what the girl is called as long as she has a name, but he's getting a little out-of-hand about that. I'm not going to have the daughter named after Harry's mother. It would be too much like Luna giving into his demands.

Eileen Moody hurried up to Hogwarts, hoping that she would get answers from the Headmaster. She hadn't seen her husband in several months and she was afraid that he had been killed.
"Pepper Imps," she told the phoenix.
It moved aside to let her pass.
She stepped onto the moving staircase and let it take her up to the Headmaster's office. She made to knock on it, but then she heard arguments.
"I can't believe that you're throwing me out," she heard the voice of Madam Rosmerta.
"I can't live with you around me all the time, wanting this and that," she heard Dumbledore said. "I want you to leave and go to our home."
Eileen heard Rosmerta cry and then she burst out of the office, almost knocking Eileen on the ground. As soon as she was gone she turned her attention to the open door.
"Are you alright, Albus?" she asked.
"Ya, I'm fine," Dumbledore said. "What can I do for you?"
Eileen sighed and then closed the door.
"I need to know what happened to my husband?" she asked.
Dumbledore groaned and then disappeared. She stared at where he had gone, wondering what she had said that might of offended him (because she believed that she had), but he returned with a jar.
"This is your husband," he told her.
Eileen took one look at him and screamed.

Hermione arrived back at Hogwarts, glad to be back where she belonged. As she got nearer to the castle she saw Dumbledore's wife running out of the castle and down to the black lake. Hermione wondered why she was heading down there. She turned her attention back to the castle, wondering if anyone was coming after her.
She put her trunk down and headed down to where she went to. As she got nearer to the black lake, she noticed her going in. Hermione gasped as she got deeper and deeper into the lake.
"Madam," Hermione yelled.
But she didn't hear her and she never came back. Hermione raised her wand and shot red sparks and Hagrid appeared.
"Tell the Headmaster that his wife is dead," Hermione said.
Hagrid shook his head and Hermione disappeared.

"I still can't believe that she killed herself," said her sister when Hagrid brought the body of Dumbledore's wife back to Hogwarts.
Dumbledore sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose.
"It seems that she took being kicked out, hard," Severus said.
"Well, I'm going to take her away to be buried," she told them. "Let's hope your next wife doesn't kill herself."
There was a tone that told them that she blamed Dumbledore for her sister's death and Hermione knew that she always would.
"So how's mother doing?" Severus asked.
"She removed the spell that Ron put on the head," Dumbledore said. "Moody can now rest in peace, but she's starting to get notices from Half-bloods and Muggleborn wizards seeking her hand in marriage."
Severus rolled his eyes.
"So are you going to help her through this difficult time?"
"I have too," Severus said. "I'm all that she has left and I don't want her to kill herself because she's going to be all alone."
Severus saw Dumbledore thinking.
"Well, I'll let you go," Severus said.
He nodded and then Severus left.

Marcus walked along the corridor, hoping for an end to all this madness. Madam Rosmerta was dead, Alister Moody was dead, and goddess knows who else was already dead. As he turned to the Transfiguration corridor he ran right into Amelia Moon.
"Hello," she said.
"Um, hello," Marcus said, hating that he wasn't like his old self.
She smiled at him, which made his knees go weak.
"So where you're heading?"
"Defense Against the Dark Arts," Amelia answered. "So where are you going?"
"No where," he said. "Um, Amelia, would you like to go out?"
She stared at him, but nodded. She walked past him and Marcus felt as though maybe the world was right.
