After the previous night's shindig of murder and who-done-it, Thursday was a semi normal day. Well, as normal as most days could go at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Each house had a history of magic lesson and at 9AM was Gryffindor's. Now the Gyffindors didn't mind going to history of magic lesson this morning, because, Biggs wasn't teaching it.

"Wicca, Witches and Ancestry is what we shall learn today." Darla exclaimed, excitably as she stepped in the History of Magic room.

The Gryffindors were not sure what to do, they never had a class like this.

Darla looked around. "Trust me; you don't have to do anything. Just listen to me talk, and answer questions, when and if I ask." Darla smiled, and wrote on the board...

WICCA, WITCHES AND ANCESTORY

"Anyway, Wicca is the muggle form of witchcraft." Darla looked at the class. "Halloween each year is the Wicca beginning of a new year. There are twelve Sabbaths of celebrations. They are Samhain, Yule, Brigid, Spring Equinox, Beltane, Summer Solstice, Lammas, and Fall Equinox. Each is celebrated with a holiday. Samhain you celebrate around Halloween. Yule is the winter solstice and it happens near December 21, Bridgid is around February 2 and it celebrated for the Goddess Bridgid: goddess of poetry, healing and metel smithing. Spring Equinox happens about March 21, Beltane is spent around may-day. Summer Solstice happens on June 21; it's the longest day of the year. Lammas is on August 1, and the Fall Equinox happens on or near September 21. For each of the Sabbaths have a special meaning. But I won't go in to that. To the Wicca community they worship different gods and goddesses, on different days of the year. Most Wicca spells or rituals are done on the full or New moons because that is when power is at its peak. There are some witches that have their own powers, like us, but then there are people, Wicca witches that have power from their own will and expand on it."

Hermione raised her hand. Darla stopped talking and looked at her. "Yes?"

"What does the five star pentangle stand for?" Hermione asked.

Darla looked over the class. "Good question. The pentangle stands for earth, air, fire, water and spirit. With the star being in the center of the circle, the power is balanced and continued. If the pentangle is facing up, the point upwards, then it is a summoning. The point facing down it is a banishing. Mostly everything is connected one way of another. Like ancestry. Take Miss. Granger for example." Darla said, while pointing to Hermione. "Most of her ancestry was lost, of course, if wanted she could tell you of her grandparents, or her family up until the 1800's or something, but I bet she didn't know that one of her ancestors was Mauve Ravenclaw. Cousin of Rowan Ravenclaw."

The class gasped at that. Hermione had a bewildered look on her face. Darla smiled and continued on.

"Yes, Mauve was married to Daniel Granger, a squib, but he divorced her. She never knew she was pregnant until after the divorce. Unfortunately her baby was a squib too. So were most of the Grangers after that, but every fifty years, or so, a witch comes into the family. Since Hermione is a strong witch now, if she marries or has kids in the future, her offspring will have strong powers."

The class clapped for Hermione. Hermione blushed and scooted down into her seat.

Darla looked at Hermione. "I only know this through a small fact of research. I noticed though some of the books that mention Mauve and Rowan that Mauve was married for a short while to a Daniel Granger and from there I took a hunch and I traced the line down and got some information from the ministry. Luckily for us magic folk, our ancestry charts are spelled for family trees so it is easier to trace family members if have too."

Hermione nodded at the fact.

The bell rang telling the students it was the end of class.

"As a lesson for everyone. Try and research your family tree." Darla stated. "Maybe you can find something of interest." As she let the class out and past her.

Harry, Ron and Hermione left. Ron then turned to Hermione. "See told you one day you'll be important." Hermione smacked Ron and made her way away from the boys. Harry frowned and then turned to Ron. "So Quidditch.?" Ron shook his head and followed Harry out to the pitch.

Thursday ended and Friday came around the school was in a bit of chaos. The teachers were muttering all around the place, snapping at students to get dressed for the dance. There where ministry officials around and Aurors around.

Tonight the great trio had dates. Ron was going with Hermione and Ginny with Harry. Unfortunately, they had to dress up. When Ron came down from the boys dormitories he was dressed like a king. Ginny then noticed Hermione in her low cut, red, Victorian gown and straightened hair. Ginny had to admit, she looked great.

Just then Hermione strolled over to Ginny.

"Jeez, Ginny you look great." Hermione said, while eyeing Ginny's outfit.

Tonight Ginny did look good. She was wearing a long black glittering strapless gown. In the back of the gown it curved into a v- shape. Leaving her back bare until her waist. With the gown she had a black ballroom gloves and a tear drop amber necklace on around her neck.

Ginny looked around a little, "Has anyone seen Harry? She asked.

Ron looked at his baby sister. "No, he left the dorms earlier."

Ginny looked saddened at the thought. Just then a cloak figure grabbed Ginny around the waist and hissed in her ear. "I've got you now."

Ginny screamed.

The figure backed off Ginny and lowered his black hood and white mask to reveal Harry.

Ginny glared at her date and slapped him a crossed the face.

Harry rubbed his check. "Ow, that hurt."

Ginny smirked. Ron and Hermione were silently laughing at the two.

Harry then pulled up his hood and offered his arm to Ginny. "So dance anyone?"

As the trio and Ginny made their way into the Great Hall they noticed that Dumbledore had gone all out. Besides the usual floating pumpkins and candles, the place was pitch black with laser lights flickering all over the place. The music was very upbeat too. Plus, since everyone took the advantage of dressing up, so none could tell who was a Slytherin and who was a Gryffindor.

As the music pulsed around, Sirena and Darla strolled up to Harry, Ginny, Ron and Hermione.

"Hey guys, you look great!" Darla exclaimed, running her eyes over Ron and Hermione's king and queen outfits and Harry's and Ginny's Lord and Lady of Death outfits. Sirena did the same.

"Yeah, you guys pulled off the costumes really well." Said Sirena, when she noticed their attire.

The trio and Ginny smiled nicely.

Sirena did a little twirl in her silvery cerulean and black evening dress, her curly black hair flying all around her. "I decided to be Artimus, goddess of the night and the hunt, but only a little more dressed up. Originally, I had a crossbow, but I can't seem to find it around here." She said, while looking over her shoulder at the crowded room.

Darla gave a short laugh. "Audrey took it away from you, just in case it went off."

Hermione and Ginny giggled at the remark, only Sirena gave a huffy sigh and stomped off somewhere. Most likely to find her sister.

Harry then turned his attention to Darla. "And you?" he asked, wondering what she was

Darla smoothed her hair down and straightened her long red silk skirt with her white tank top. "I am a gypsy." She exclaimed proudly.

Harry gave her a smile. "You look great."

"Thanks, now I have to go find Sirena." She walked off.

Ron turned his attention to everyone. "Well, that was fun."

Hermione looked at Ron. 'You don't need to be sarcastic about it." She said

"Oh, really."

Harry noticed that another fight was going to happen between his two friends and he took his opportunity to leave.

As a soft, slow music number came on Harry held out his hand to Ginny. "Ginny care to dance?" he said.

Ginny gave Harry her hand. "Love too." She said softly.

Harry led Ginny to the dance floor which was occupied with many different couples. He then put his hand on her waist and pulled her close. Ginny laid her hand on his chest and her head.

Just five feet away two people watched this exchange.

"Guess who they remind me of," said Darla softly

Sirena looked at her sister. "Lily and James."

"Yup."

In the pitch black corner of the room, a dark-haired man saw his son and the young lady dance. An image came to mind of his own 6th year Halloween ball...

James Potter walked up to the 6th-year Gryffindor red-head who was giggling with a dark hair brunette; his sister Tabitha.

"Lily, care to dance?" he asked the redhead, while holding out his hand.

Lily smiled at James and gave him her perfectly manicured hand. "Love too." She said softly as Tabitha gave her a push in James's direction.

James led her to the dance floor as a slow song came on and pulled Lily close to him. At that moment James Potter knew he was in the right place. He was with the one he truly cared for…

Suddenly, James was pulled out of the past when the doors to the Great Hall shook and exploded. The information James had received was correct! Voldemort arrived and along with him were his best deatheaters.

Students and teachers alike pulled their wands out and started to shoot spells, curses, and hexes at them. Right then, the Aurors arrived on the scene and started capturing and disarming Deatheaters.

James ran over to be in front of Voldemort.

"Glad aria Ra!" he shouted.

Voldemort screamed in pain and shot a 'stupefy' curse at James.

"You." Voldemort hissed.

James straightened up. "Me." He spoke quietly.

Out of the corner of James's eye he saw his son, Harry shoot the Avada Kavada curse at Belatrix Lestageue. It hit her square in the chest and she fell into a crumbled heap. Harry gave a trumpet yell.

Voldemort saw the same thing and gave James a snake-like smile. James eyes widened, he shook his head. "No, oh God, no please no!" he thought.

Voldemort pointed his wand at Harry and shouted the Avada Kavada curse. Harry turned and faced Voldemort. He saw the curse coming at him. The green light struck and Harry crumbled to the floor with a sickening thump. The last face he saw was his father screaming "No!"

(A/n: HAHA! I let Harry get his revenge on Bellatrix. :P He deserved it. I felt that was appropriate then a kiss of death on her. Btw: For the wicca lesson information: That is the info I received and looked up. I tried to keep it easy and not go into to much detailed. I did write this story a LONG time ago and that was the info I came across. Please don't hate me. )
