I don't own Harry Potter or Inuyasha!
Harry Potter
And
Dumbledor's Secret
Chapter 42
"So, what have you all been up to while Drake and I were away?" Mary asked Harry as they entered Lord Gryffindor's chambers.
"Scouring the library and portraits to find out what had happened to you and interrogating random students that Neville knew would crack under pressure. And I was worried out of my bloody mind! Where were you?!"
"We were in the past and got to have a very nice chat with the founders. Even got a cure-all for Tom's not-dieing problem. Trained up on my Miko powers, and found out that Godric really wants us together as a couple," Mary sighed and snuggled into his arms as exhaustion caught up with her.
"I was worried, Mary," Harry frowned.
"So was I, Harry," Mary sighed. "So was I."
The final battle raged on Hogsmead grounds, instead of Hogwarts. Tom was winning, until Draco threw the potion to Neville, and Neville threw it to Mary, and Mary threw it to Snape. And then Snape hurled it at Tom and it shattered, showing him with the aging potion.
"POTTER! SNAPE! STAREYE!" Tom shrieked as he was dieing.
"Actually, it's Lupin," Mary corrected.
"Soon to be Potter," Harry smirked. "Mary, would you do me the honor of marrying me?"
"I…" it was then that a spell hit Mary in her back, causing her eyes to glaze over in pain and she slumped to the ground.
Draco had seen where the curse came from and hurled a silent-intent curse at the castor, and was soon gifted with screams of death. Luna walked over to the body and removed the mask. Draco only sighed in relief, "Knew it'd be him. Harry, will she live?"
"She's as good as dead…" Remus whispered softly. "That's the Rip Van Winkle spell. She won't wake for a hundred years…"
"No!" Harry cried out in horror.
"Harry…" James tried to comfort him…
"No!" Harry roared again and tried everything he could think of to wake her up, even kiss her, but to no avail. Harry broke down and sobbed his grief.
"Harry, wizards live a long time…" Lily reminded her son as she held him. "Perhaps you'll still be alive when she wakes up."
"But it won't be the same…" Harry whispered sadly.
100 years later…
"Do?" Mary looked around her in confusion, she was in Ravenclaw's rooms. Her hands were aged… and was that her voice?!
"Mary! You're awake!" a blonde haired man around fifty grinned.
"D-Draco? W-what?"
"Rip Van Winkle spell, 100 years… sleep of the dead," Draco frowned sadly. Then he smiled, "Here, drink this potion, it'll de-age you. Harry was told to drink his today, as were the rest of the crew. We'll all be the same age as when you left, including my wife, Sango Chang, she's Cho's 2nd cousin."
Quickly downing the potion, she soon returned to be as she remembered, and then Harry burst in with all the rest of their family for a well waited for celebration!
"Mary," Harry got down on one knee. "I'll ask you again, will you marry me?"
"Yes! I'll marry you Harry," Mary laughed and kissed him on the cheek.
"Harry, you forgot something…" Remus' eye glinted with something Harry couldn't identify. And then Remus began to chase Harry around the room.
"What did I forget?!" Harry yelped as he barely dodged Remus by hopping over a chair.
"You forgot to ask me for her hand!" Remus yelled back at Harry, causing everyone, even Mary, to laugh at the scene the father of the bride and the groom made as they chased each other around the room.
Severus looked to Sesshomaru and stated, "We've inherited a strange family."
"Agreed," Sesshomaru replied.
This is the end! I finally did it! Yea! It may be a bit rushed, but it's finished! I best leave the rest of their lives and the one hundred years that happened in this chapter to your imaginations... Thank you for your patients and I enjoyed having you ride this story out with me. Thank you again!
