AN: This chapter will explain why Dennis has fixated on Luna and is obsessed with her.


Early the next morning, Harry and Ron were standing near one of the gates at Heathrow Airport, waiting on Amber's plane from New York. They dreaded telling her the news about Seamus' death while Ron was still reeling from the murder of his sister-in-law Audrey at the hands of this killer.

He hadn't wanted to leave Percy, who had been instantly brought to their childhood home, The Burrow, after finding out the news of his wife's murder. His older brother had been devastated at the fact that she had been having an affair and had been killed for it.

Molly Weasley's reaction to finding out that her daughter-in-law had been cheating on her son, had not been pretty. In fact the older lady had to leave her home and go to her daughter's house to voice her opinions on Audrey's behavior so she wouldn't upset Percy. Lily had then went home with her Grandmother so Ginny could go to Hogwarts with Draco and Luna so she could tell her nieces, Molly and Lucy about the death of their mother. Percy was too upset to even think about doing it and it had to be done as quickly as possible.

Rita Skeeter, who had somehow gotten a hold of classified information, had written an article talking about why Rolf Scamander and Astoria Malfoy had been killed. About the fact that the two victims had been having an adulterous affair for the last five years.

Harry spotted a petite red head in her early thirties, with a slender body and green eyes, stepping out of the gate and went over to greet her with Ron following in behind him. He shook the young woman's hand and started walking beside her as she went to get her luggage.

"Has something else happened, Harry, since you called me on the phone yesterday?" She had New York accent that had a faint touch of an Irish one too.

"Amber, the killer took two more lives last night and one of them was Seamus. He was having an affair with Audrey Weasley and the killer killed them both at an old country inn outside of London."

Amber turned to look at Harry, her eyes starting to swell with tears. She was so shaken up that Harry had wrapped a comforting arm around the younger woman's shoulder before going over to pick up her luggage himself.

The three of them quietly left the airport in a ministry car, not realizing that they were being watched by Dennis Creevy, who had seen the arm Harry had placed around Amber.

'So even 'Saint Potter' gives into possible temptation and looks at someone else beside his precious Ginny. Maybe he needs to learn a lesson that he won't soon forget about cheating on a wonderful woman like his wife.'


At the same time, Lucius Malfoy was storming through the offices of the Daily Prophet, looking for Rita Skeeter and looking angry enough to kill the witch with his bare hands. When he got to where her office was located, Lucius slammed into the room and found a very disheveled and physically drained Rita Skeeter sitting at her desk, with her head in her hands.

"What the bloody hell is the meaning of this?" Lucius stated as he slammed that morning's paper down in front of her.

"Mr. Malfoy, can you place a charm around this room to keep anybody else from hearing what we are saying." Rita's voice was subdued and the sound of it shocked Lucius, who considered himself pretty capable of seeing anything, that there wasn't not anything that would startle him.

He did as she asked before a memory was handed to him in a small vial by Rita. He looked down at it in confusion before finally finding his voice.

"What is this?"

"That is a memory of a visitor that I had last night. He told me a very interesting and scary story that is the reason for the article written this morning. It was the killer, Mr. Malfoy, the person who is doing this and he is bloody insane. He has a message for Luna Scamander in regards to your family and her own children, born and unborn, that scared the hell out of me just to hear it."

Lucius felt his heart beat faster at what she was telling him and knew that he had to get this memory to Harry Potter as quick as possible. The only thing would be to make sure it was done at Malfoy Manor where the wards were very strong because if Rita was right, this killer seemed to know what they were all doing.

"Get up! So you can apparate with me back to my home, now!"

"Mr. Malfoy..."

"You might be a hateful gossip that takes immense pleasure in destroying people's lives but even you don't deserve what this killer is capable of. So until the Ministry can get you under protection, you are coming my home where there are enough wards to prevent anybody but the members of my family let onto the grounds from getting in. Move!"

Rita stood up and took Lucius's arm so they could do a side along apparation, much to the fury of Dennis Creevey, who had just arrived from the airport. He clinched his fists in anger and vowed to find a way to make Rita Skeeter pay for her deceit. He was going to have to step up his quest to get Luna because his identity was about to be exposed to Harry Potter and his time was running out.


At Hogwarts, Minerva McGonagall and Poppy Pomfrey were waiting anxiously in the Headmistress' office for three of their former students to step through the floo. Neville Longbottom was waiting in another room with the Scamander twins, Scorpius Malfoy along with Molly and Lucy Weasley so those innocent babies could forever have their worlds changed. The teachers had prevented the Daily Prophet from getting into the school that morning after being warned about Rita Skeeter's article by the Ministry.

Ginny Potter, Luna Scamander, and Draco Malfoy all stepped out of the fireplace and into the office, each of them being swept into both witches embraces as they got into the room. The two women then quietly led the three of them to the room where Professor Neville Longbottom was waiting with the children. Ginny hugged her niece and nephew while Luna's boys ran to her side and Scorpius was embraced by his father.

"What's going on, Mum? Where's father?" Lysander asked, looking around the room as if he was waiting for Rolf to walk in the door.

"Lysander, something horrible has happened to your father...." Luna was fighting tears, knowing the pain she was about to cause her two sons, wrapping each arm around their shoulders and cuddling her babies close to her body. "Somebody came into our home and hurt him very badly. He didn't survive what this person did to him and he's gone."

Both boys burst into tears and laid their heads on Luna's chest, sobbing and wanting to be held like when they were both little. She held them tightly to her, looked across the room and saw that Draco had just finished telling his son what had happened. The little boy had burst into heartbreaking sobs and was clinging to his father as if he was afraid that his father was going to leave him the same way his mum had.

"No, Aunt Ginny! Not my mommy!" Lucy Weasley screamed out throwing herself into Minerva McGonagall arms as Molly was being held by her aunt, both girls crying hysterically and wailing. "Where's my Daddy! Why isn't he here to tell us."

"I think it might be best, Ginny, if I send not only Lucy and Molly with you but your own children and your other nieces and nephews as well. Once the news of the murders gets spread around the school, they won't have any peace from the other students and the best thing for all of you right now is to be with each other. The same goes for you Luna, Draco. Take your children home and send them back once the funerals are over."

Harry stepped into the room, a look of desperation on his face as he sought out his wife. He motioned for her, Draco, Luna, and McGonagall to follow him out of of the room and leaving Madam Pomfrey and Neville with the children.

As soon as they got out into the hall and back into the headmistress' office, Harry turned to the four people in the room with him. A look of fear that none of them had seen since the war was on his face.

"Harry, what's happened?" Ginny asked, walking up to her husband and taking his hand in hers.

"I just came from Malfoy Manor where I have left Ron and Amber, along with Kyle, Brian and other members of my team. It wasn't long after Ron and I had made it back to Headquarters with Amber that I was sent a message from Lucius Malfoy. I know that you have talked to your brothers and gotten permission to pick all of their's and our children up to take with you to the Burrow. There has been a change in plans. We are taking all of them along with Luna and Draco's children to Malfoy Manor where they will all stay until the same type of wards the Malfoy's have are put on all of our homes. We know who the killer is and it is the one person you would least expect."

"Who is it, Potter?" McGonagall asked, curious as to how finding out who the killer was could have shaken Harry Potter up this badly.

"Dennis Creevy and he has lost his bloody mind! I think his brother's death and some incident with his wife has made him go completely insane."

"The little boy whose older brother followed you around in our second year with a camera, taking pictures until all of us were ready to hex him. The one that was petrified by the basilisk?" Draco questioned. "There is something else isn't there, Potter?"

"Yes," Harry stated before turning to look at Luna, who was sitting down in a chair in front of McGonagall's desk. "How well did you know Dennis?"

"I didn't really know him except for the DA meetings during my fourth and sixth years. I talked to and knew his brother more than I ever did him. Although I did help him when Greg Goyle was bullying him during sixth year right right before Christmas and I was captured. I didn't see him again after that."

"Well I think he took that act of kindness and has turned it into something sick and twisted."

"How the hell did you get this information?" Draco's voice was filled with fear and anxiety as he asked his questions. "How are you preparing to protect Luna from this psycho?"

"It seems Rita Skeeter was paid a visit by Creevey last night, he confessed to being the killer and scared the hell out of her. That was why she seemed to get a hold of confidential information, the little bastard was bragging about what he had done. He forced her to write the article that ended up in the paper, under the threat of doing to her what he had done to the others. He also told her not to reveal who he was to me."

"Then how did you find out about him because I don't see Rita Skeeter putting herself in danger for anybody else?" Ginny asked.

"She found a way around it. Lucius Malfoy went to her office to confront her about the article she had written and she gave him the memory of her encounter with Dennis. He took her and the memory back to his home and after watching it, sent a message to me. Ron, Amber and myself went over there and watched the memory, he is sick and really needs to spend some time in a mental ward. That is if he doesn't get the Dementor's kiss, when they catch him. I have Amber and Ron investigating what he said about his wife and the stuff he said about Luna was so sick that Lucius Malfoy is finding a room at his home for her and her sons until Dennis is stopped. He has the strongest wards of anybody in our community and that is why the children are being kept their temporarily until we get the wards up at our homes and prevent him from getting into Hogwarts at all. Ginny, you, Hermione, Fleur, and Angelina are all joining them so they won't be so scared at being in a strange place. It is time to put aside any old grievances aside and work together to protect our families from Dennis until we can catch him. We have also put a curfew into affect, no exceptions and are putting Aurors or any experienced wizards at any all inns or hotels in our community. We have also contacted Scotland Yard and all muggle authorities in the area to keep an eye out for him because he can hide out there too. He has actually been living in that world since the death of his brother, it will be difficult to find him."

"What did he say about me, Harry?" Luna asked him, a firm tone to her voice. She had a tight grip on Draco's hand, who seemed like he was fighting not to lose his temper. Harry watched them with a curious look on his face before taking a deep breath and hesitantly answering her question.

"He told Skeeter to give you a private message to stay away from Draco or he would kill him and his whole family. He also stated that the killings would continue unless you gave up the custody of your two sons to their great grandfather and aborted the baby you are now having. That you are to give your self up willingly to him and he would leave everybody else in our world alone. He seems to have set you up as some sort of perfect angel that would never hurt him the way his wife did. We don't know how she hurt him or what happened to her. All we know it was bad enough for him to go mental or to quote Amber, 'He has lost his freaking mind."

"We will allow you to bring Aurors here to guard the front gates at Hogwarts, which I am pretty sure you have already done, and as of this moment, all floo acess will be restricted. Once all that is done, all of the children should be safe here and all you will need to do is keep Luna and Draco and their children safe until Creevy is caught. We can help them catch up on their schoolwork as soon as they are able to return."

"I am not hiding from this psycho. Keep my family, Luna and her children in hiding so all of them will be safe, but I am going to face that little shit and kick his sorry ass for all of the pain he has caused!" Draco declared before storming out of the room and going to the one place when he attended classes at Hogwarts that he knew he could be alone with the turbulent emotions going through his mind at that moment.

"I'm sorry, Harry but I'm with Malfoy on this one. If I come face to face with Creevy, I am going to make him wish to Merlin he had never been born." Ginny stated before walking out of the room to go back to her nieces and to find her own children.

Luna had slowly gotten up from the chair she was in and was walking across the room, towards the door. "I know where he is going and I will find him. There should be enough people looking out for me that I should be safe walking to the Astronomy tower. I have to talk some sense into Draco before he does something stupid and his children possibly lose both parents to this situation."

"Luna, what is going on with you and Malfoy?"

"Nineteen years of fear, needless heartbreak, and other people's selfish behavior will all come to an end and just maybe, I can finally have my happy ending."

She turned and walked out of the room, letting the door close behind her. Harry turned to McGonagall, who was just as stunned as he was and started to speak.

"You know, if she would have told me something like that 24 hours ago, I would have told her that she was mental and really daft for even thinking about becoming involved with Malfoy. Now, I'm not so sure."

"I have a feeling Mr. Potter, that the two of them getting their happy ending won't be very easy, especially if Mr. Creevy isn't caught any time soon. There is also the children they each have with other people to think about and those three little boys might not want a new mother or father that will try and replace the one that they have lost. This situation is far from over and and I hope they both have the strength to deal with what ever happens."


AN: This chapter was an emotional roller coaster ride for everybody and it will only get crazier. The next chapter, Luna finally tells Draco about the death of her daughter while Amber, Ron and Hermione find out about Dennis' wife and what has happened to her. Dennis will finally start to make mistakes in their efforts to catch him but it will still not be easy because of his ability to hide in both the wizarding and the muggle world as well.
