Hey! This is the last chapter! I'm so glad that everyone who has reviewed has enjoyed the story you have no idea what that means to me! This is it; there is no sequel or anything. I would ask anyone who reads this to check out one of my other stories, "The Reluctant Hero." It's about Albus Dumbledore and the Marauders! So if you could please read it and maybe review it? I'm also working on a Harry suicidal story, it's a response to Kate the Great's challenge but since I began that one today don't look for it for like a week or two… or a month or two. Lol I don't know. Anyway, thanks for reading and reviewing this story, it was an awesome one to write. Peace! Oh I don't own Harry Potter, J.K.Rowling does! One more note… I don't write romantic scenes, I don't like it, I can't do it but there is some in this story and PLEASE be nice to it. I don't romantic stuff… but I had to put it in. So be patient with it.

Harry smiled and watched Dumbledore leave. He didn't want to sleep, he felt too rested. On the table next to him he saw candy and cards and he spent the two hours reading them and eating some candy. Finally after a last check up from Madam Pomfrey, he dressed and left. He went straight to Dunt's office and knocked.

The door was flung open and Dunt stood there and when he it was Harry he crushed him in a tight hug.

"Sirius," Harry moaned unable to breathe.

"Padfoot," Remus got Dunt off of Harry. "He's alive Padfoot. Good to see you Harry, come in!" They went in and closed the door. James Little sat in one of the chairs and smiled at Harry. He got up to shake his hand.


"I believe I own you my life," he shook Harry's hand and clapped him on the back.

"It was nothing," Harry shrugged it off.

Harry sat down and they talked about the battle. 50 Death Eaters were dead, 25 captured, and 10 of them because of Harry. The Ministry was dealing with these Death Eaters and Mr. Weasley had made it clear that they would not get off.

As he sat there Harry remembered his dream right before he woke up, "Sirius! Remus! I almost forgot!"

"What is it?" Dunt asked thinking something was wrong with him.

"Right before I woke up I saw my parents, and we talked for a minute," Harry said only realizing now how stupid this must sound. "They wanted me to give you two a message. They said to stop blaming yourselves for their death. And my father told me to tell you Sirius that he suggests a Hair Washing Charm on someone tonight at the feast."

Dunt smiled and nodded, "I know that one well, we used it all the time on Snape."

"You believe me?" Harry asked.

"It is said that when someone is waking up from a wizard's coma they are visited by someone," Remus nodded, "someone dead. We believe you. How else would you have known about the Hair Washing Charm?"

Harry nodded and then remembered Dumbledore. "I have to see Dumbledore. I forgot his message!" He ran out and ran as fast as he could to Dumbledore's office. Yelling the password at the gargoyle he ran in and went up the stairs. At the door he door hurrying and then entered.

Dumbledore was seated at his desk reading something. He looked up when his door was opened and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"Professor," Harry said out of breath. He stopped to catch his breath and then continued, "before I woke up I saw my parents. They asked me to give you a message and I forgot. But my mom told me to tell you that someone says thank you and she loves you."

It was a good thing Dumbledore was sitting. The effect of those two simple phases had on Dumbledore was amazing. He nearly fell out of his seat but caught himself. He turned away from Harry and he saw him take his glasses off.

Unsure what was happening Harry turned to go, "I'll see you at the feast sir."

"Harry," Dumbledore called still not facing him, "Thank you. You have no idea how much that meant to me."

When Harry was outside his door he stopped and looked back and it was only then he realized that the "she" was Mary Potter his wife.

At the gargoyle he stopped to consider his next move, he started to go up to the common room but he heard people coming down the stairs to go to the Great Hall and smelling food he turned around and went to the Feast. He took his seat in the Hall and kept his head down well aware of the whispers and the people passing to get a good look at him.

"Harry!" Harry looked up then hearing a familiar voice, it was Hermione and with her was Ron. "Dumbledore hoped you would wake up today. He's been expecting it since the beginning of the week."

"I've been up a few hours," Harry admitted, "I had to see Dunt and then I forgot to give Dumbledore a message."

"Its good to see you again," Ron sat down across from him, "everyone's been worried expect Dumbledore of course."

Hermione sat down next to him and whispered, "I need to talk to you alone."

He nodded and watched as the twins came in grinning evilly. They spotted him and came over, "We own you another one mate." George said.

"We were in that group," Fred explained. "They didn't have the sense to knock us both out so we had our fun with them." He leaned close to Harry and whispered in his ear, "Don't touch the pudding, gravy or the salt and pepper."

Harry looked up at Dunt and then at the twins, "One second." He ran up to the teacher's table and with a look from Snape went over to Dunt, "I need a favor."

"Anything," Dunt shrugged.

"The twins adore the Marauders and as a good bye gift I'd like them to meet you. As Dunt of course but they have worshipped the Marauders since their first year and they don't know who they really are."

Dunt laughed, "Yeah sure, tell them to come down to the office. They know their way."

Harry went back to Gryffindor Tower and went to the twins, "Tonight after the Feast go down to Dunt's office."

"Why?"

"Just do it," Harry grinned and went back to Ron and Hermione.

Ron started to talk about the things he had missed and Hermione didn't like the fact that he had missed the O.W.Ls.

"Dumbledore said I can make them up starting tomorrow," Harry assured her, "once you two are on the train. Then I'll go to Mansion and you two are visiting!"

At that moment Dumbledore got up and spoke to the school, "Another year has ended. I must ask everyone to remember all the valiant men who died in the attack a week and a half ago. A week and a half-ago 10 men were taken from us in the battle against Voldemort. They were very brave men who died without fear. I honor them tonight." He stopped and raised his glass to them and everyone did the same expect the Slytherins.

"I also ask you to praise one of your classmates who saved the lives of 50 our of students and showed outstanding bravery in the battle, Mr. Harry Potter." Dumbledore bowed slightly to him and all of Gryffindor clapped and cleared as did Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. Not a sound came from the Slytherins but Harry didn't notice this. He was watching Dumbledore who then raised his glass to him and smiled.

The feast then became and they ate and talked about everything. The Great Hall was again in Gryffindor colors because of Harry's points and the Quidditch Final. Harry ate and forgot everything that had happened, it felt nice not to worry about anything and eat as much as he wanted. He felt especially hungry after not eating for such a long period of time. Dunt caught his eye during the meal and nodded his head towards Snape whose hair was being washed. Harry nudged Ron and pointed and laughed. All of Gryffindor heard Harry's laugh and they looked too. Dumbledore couldn't hold back laughing and Harry caught Dumbledore's eye, which twinkled very bright.

When the feast was ended he met up with Dunt and telling Ron and Hermione to meet him in the common room later he went off with Dunt. In his office Remus was already there and they sat down to wait for the twins. They came in interested but very confused.

"Fred and George I need to introduce you to two of your heroes," Harry said and pointed to Remus and Dunt. "Meet Mr. Moony and Mr. Padfoot."

Fred and George's mouths dropped in surprise. They looked wildly at Harry and then to Remus, then Dunt and back to Harry.

Fred finally found his voice, "Mr. Moony, Mr. Padfoot we are your biggest fans!"

"You two are so worthy of the title of the Mischief Makers of Hogwarts," said George.

Dunt laughed, "So this is how Harry found the map." He shook the twin's hands.

"Your map was the secret to our success," Fred told him.

"Well boys," Dunt smiled, "I'd like to let you in on a little secret, and I know you won't tell anyone."

"Oh of course," they both stammered.

"Your parents know of course but lets keep this one between us," Dunt said and took out his wand. With a few words he changed back into Sirius Black, "I don't want you thinking that Orion Dunt is a Marauder."

If Harry thought that Fred and George's mouths couldn't open any wider he was much mistaken. They didn't know what was more of a shock, the convict Sirius Black standing in the room or being a Marauder. The twins looked at the three of them again.

"Its too long of a story to tell you but would you settle for a few things weren't told to people you could trust and the crime was committed by another?" He said carefully and looked at Remus. "And when the one who did commit the crime was going to be brought to justice he used a gift that his friends did for him and hid for 12 years?"

"Of course," they both stammered.

"But there are 4 Marauders!" George suddenly remembered, "Who are the other two?"

Sirius winked at Harry who then answered, "My father James Potter was Prongs and a servant of Voldemort is the other. His name was Wormtail but you would know him by the name of Scabbers. That is how he hid."

Fred and George stared at Harry, "We had a Marauder and a servant of You-Know-Who in our house for 12 years?"

"Well Peter Pettigrew came along for the ride," Sirius explained, "James and I did most of the work and spent the most time in detention though Remus came along for detention about 3 times a week."

Once more Fred and George shook the hands of the Marauders and George asked, "If we may be so bold, we are trying to set up a joke shop and we would like your opinion on some of our things and maybe some ideas?"

Sirius laughed, "Sure Moony and I will come around this summer." He stopped and thought, "Well it might be a better idea if with Harry's permission you bring the stuff to the Mansion, then your mom wouldn't be mad at us."

"Sure as long as I don't have to try any of it," Harry agreed.

Fred and George then left and Harry talked to Remus and Sirius for a few more minutes until he left remembering that he promised to talk to Hermione. He raced up to the common room hoping she waited for him. He said the password and walked in and saw her sitting by the fire alone, he sat down beside her.

"Hello," he said.

"Oh Harry," she replied, "There is something I must tell you." She stood up and looked into the fire. "I along with Fred and George were in that group… I thought I was going to die or something, I felt so hopeless. I didn't want to die without telling you that I have always loved you. As a friend of course but something more, deeper if you know what I mean. Ron of course is great but you are more understanding and kind."

Harry sat back and smiled at Hermione, "Wow um I haven't thought about it as much as you but I do love you too." He got up and stood next to her. "I think you've grown most beautiful."

Hermione smiled and wrapped her arms around him. Harry held her unsure what to do.

"I love you Harry Potter," she whispered in his ear.

"I love you Hermione," he whispered back and they broke apart. Slowly they looked into each other eyes and kissed. Harry put his arms around him again and when they broke apart Hermione whispered good night and left Harry standing there amazed. Getting his composure back he too went to bed remembering he had O.W.Ls to do tomorrow.

The next morning Hermione was waiting with her stuff in the common room for Harry and Ron. When they finally came down Harry smiled at Hermione and they walked down to the Entrance Hall.

"I'll owl you both when I finish my exams," Harry told them, "you have to come and visit."

"Mum will probably want you two to visit too, let's say end of the summer if Dumbledore lets you so we can get our stuff." Ron said.

"Sounds good," Harry told them and they got in one of the carriages.

Down at the train Harry helped them put their stuff on the train and they stood on the platform to say goodbye.

"Bye Harry!"

"See you Harry!"

Harry waved at Seamus and Dean as they hung out the windows and at a few others who yelled goodbye. Ron and Hermione got on when the whistles started to blow and Hermione stuck her head out the window.

"Bye Harry!" she blew him a kiss and thankful no one was looking out of the windows.

"Bye Hermione," he smiled and waved.

"Come on Harry, time to take those O.W.Ls," Dumbledore had come up behind him and Harry was sure he had seen Hermione say goodbye to him.

Harry turned to face Dumbledore and nodded. They walked together back to a carriage, "So how many O.W.Ls did my parents get?"

Dumbledore looked at him and laughed, "I don't think I should tell you."

Harry groaned, "That many? I'll never beat them," with another groan he got into the carriage with Dumbledore and they went back up to school laughing and talking about his parents.

THE END!
