Chapter Twenty-Eight; To Heaven and Back

Alright thanks guys there's only a few more chapters left, so I hope you enjoy it!

Harry continued walking further into the Forbidden Forest guided by the light of his wand. That's when suddenly he ran into Voldemort. "Well if it isn't Harry Snape." He began. "The boy who lived come to die at last." He said.

"Just do it." Harry told him while closing his eyes and thinking about Ginny and the taste of her lips, the warmth of her skin. That's when all of a sudden Voldemort raised his wand high up into the air.

"Avada Kedavra!" he hollered as there came a flash of green light in front of Harry's face that knocked him unconscious

…

Harry heard an angelic choir ringing through his ears. He slowly opened his eyes and found himself surrounded in a white foggy mist. Although he wasn't wearing his glasses anymore and he appeared to be scar less. He glanced down at his body and realized that he was now dressed in bright white robes. He placed a hand on his forehead and groaned before he slowly stood up. For a moment he thought he was standing on a cloud, but he appeared to be inside a room instead.

"That's weird." He began as he started looking around. "If I'm in Heaven then where's the pearly gates?" he wondered when suddenly Dumbledore appeared. He started walking around the corner followed by a young girl about six or seven with bright red hair and dark eyes. The little girl clutched to Dumbledore's hand tightly as he walked closer to Harry.

"That's because you're not in Heaven Harry. Not yet anyway." Dumbledore told him. "This is where you come to be judged. And since I've been sent here to fetch you can probably already guess what that means." He told him. "You brave boy you." He added. "Or I suppose I should say man, since that's what it takes to be able to give up your life for the people you love." He explained. "You can come home now if you wish." He said.

"Do you mean I've got a choice?" Harry questioned him as Dumbledore nodded.

"Yes we always have a choice Harry, it just depends on if we still have things that we need to accomplish in our lives. That's the adventure that I was telling you about. After one ends the next one begins." He told him before he glanced down at the girl beside him. "By the way, do you know who this is?" he asked him as Harry quickly shook his head. "Go ahead and tell him then. After all, he is your brother." He told her.

"What?" Harry questioned with uncertainty and disbelief as Dumbledore nodded at her.

"Go ahead." He told her as he smiled warmly down at her before she let go of his hand and started walking over to him.

"Gianna." She said. "Gianna Snape. That's who I am. My name is Gianna Snape." She said as Harry gaped his mouth open at her while staring at her wide eyed with astonishment.

"Gianna?" he inquired as she nodded at him.

"It's me." She told him as Harry bent down and started blinking away his tears before he wrapped his arms tightly around her and embraced her.

"I want to go to Heaven. I'm ready." He said.

"Are you quite sure about that Harry?" a voice that wasn't Dumbledore's asked him. Harry quickly let go of his baby sister and stood up looking into the eyes of another man that were a light bluish green in color. He also had short brown wavy hair and a scruffy brown beard.

"Are you_" Harry began as the other man nodded at him.

"Yes Harry, I am." He replied.

"Then take me! Please take me!" Harry pleaded while continuing to cry.

"Oh Harry, you know how much I love you and I would love to take you with me." He told him.

"Then why can't you!?" Harry sobbed. "I finally got my baby sister back and now you're going to take her away from me!" he hollered.

"Please Harry calm down, I never took your baby sister away from you and I never will. As long as somebody lives inside your heart they can never truly be gone. But you still have so much to live for, so much work that you still have to do on earth." He told him.

"But what about Voldemort?" Harry asked Dumbledore with a sniff while he brushed away his tears. "The prophecy said_" he began.

"I'm well aware of the prophecy Harry, neither one shall live while the other survives. However it didn't say anything about having the choice to come back afterwards." Dumbledore said with a quick shake of his head. "You see you were the horcrux that Voldemort never intended to make Harry. And he unknowingly destroyed it a few moments ago when you willingly sacrificed yourself to him.

And it would be sort of pointless to have that kind of act go unrewarded now wouldn't it?" he inquired.

"I've really got to go back don't I?" Harry asked him.

"No Harry you don't have to." Dumbledore began with another shake of his head. "You get to." He said. "Of course the decision is entirely up to you. We both will stand by whatever you decide." He told him.

"If I go back, will I be able to come back here again someday?" Harry asked him as the other man laughed.

"You're the one who preached about in your sermon are you not? I am the promise that you spoke of." He told him. "And since when have I ever been known to break a promise?" He questioned him before bending down and picked up Gianna before hoisting her up inside His arms and then turned back around and started walking away with Dumbledore.

"Wait a minute, what if I have questions!?" Harry exclaimed as all three of them walked back around the corner. "Hullo!?" he called.

…

Hagrid came rushing into the woods and came to a complete stop once he caught sight of Harry's lifeless body. "Harry." He said with a sudden gasp of astonishment.

"I'm afraid you're too late Hagrid. Harry Snape is dead." Voldemort told him but Hagrid quickly shook his head in disbelief.

"No, I can't believe it! I won't believe it!" he hollered. "He can't be dead he just can't be!" he yelled as tears continued pouring out of his eyes and rolling down his cheeks.

"I'm afraid he is. Well in a manner of speaking anyway since that ignorant fool was a Christian, I guess you could say that he's with the angels now." Voldemort told him as Hagrid looked back over at him.

"You bastard!" he shouted on the top of his lungs before he bent down and scooped Harry's body up inside his arms. "I've got to bring him back to his father, that's the very least that I can do." Hagrid said as he started carrying him back through the woods.

…..

Everyone gathered around outside the castle since they had seen the dark mark in the sky and the group of death eaters marching towards the castle. Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Snape, Tobey, and Cowboy all stood together. "What's that that Hagrid's carrying?" Ginny inquired as they solemnly marched closer to the castle.

"Harry Snape,.." Voldemort began as he stopped in front of the castle along with Hagrid and the rest of his death eaters as Snape just stared at Harry with a state of shock and disbelief. "Is dead!" he hollered triumphantly.

"NO! NO!" Ginny shrieked as she sprinted towards him but Ron grabbed ahold of her collar and pulled her back.

"You foolish girl, Harry Snape is dead. Now you see ladies and gentlemen, evil really is stronger than good. All Harry had for support was his faith. Of course that wasn't enough in the end to save him." Voldemort said.

"You're wrong!" Snape snapped at him as Voldemort looked at him questioningly.

"I beg your pardon Severus?" he questioned.

"Harry's faith did save him, because now he is in a place that you'll never be able to see." Snape told him quickly shaking his head. "You see I've known Harry ever since he was a boy. And he was always good, honest, and true, not to mention a great love for the Lord and passion for dragons. And he's not gone, he'll never truly be gone as long as we're here to remember him!" he snapped when suddenly Harry's eyes shot open as his heart started beating again and started to feel his pulse.

He quickly dropped out of Hagrid's arms as the crowd began to cheer. Voldemort just simply stared at him as he quickly rose to his feet and withdrew his wand while Ron and Hermione exchanged looks of excitement. Feeling his cross necklace around his neck he knew that God was with him, and now he was about to defeat Voldemort once and for all!
