[Kiara Johnson]

Max looked on in horror as the Horntail descended upon him. Try, as he might, no spell he could think of detoured it. Suddenly, it grabbed him and flew off. The two of them disappeared beyond the mist.

There was a loud POP and the castle grounds were full of Aurors. They began rounding up Death Eaters.

Harry and Ron had been forced in to another room. In front of them, stood Voldemort..

Harry and Ron froze. Harry looked between his father and Ron. Voldemort had his wand out and pointed at Ron's chest.
"It would seem Harry, that you have two choices." Voldemort sneered. "One, attack me and loose your friend. Sure, I'll be out of the way but what would Kiara think?" He paused. "Or two, you can let me go, I can't harm you so this would be beneficial to the two of us. We can always play again, at a later date. What do you do?" He finished.

Harry gritted his teeth in anger. This was the perfect opportunity to destroy his father, once and for all and he couldn't do anything about it.

"You win, Voldemort. Go, but remember, this isn't finished, I will kill you." Harry stated.

Voldemort laughed his vile laugh.

"Yes Harry, we will meat again. Only the next time we do, I'll be sure to have come up with a way for you to die. You can be assured of that." With those words left echoing in the air, Voldemort vanished.

{You do realize that by letting him go, you've let this game continue?} The fate echoed in Harry's ear.

"Oh, shut up!" Harry yelled with great anger in his voice.

{Really, you didn't have to yell.} The fate said then it was gone.

Ron looked at Harry.

"Let me guess. It's not over. Is it?" He asked.

"No Ron, it's not. Lets get out of here. I'm sure we'll see Kiara when we get back." Harry replied

[.:isis:.]

BUMP!

BACK TO SCHOOL








Harry and Ron walked into the Gryffindor common room. Everyone went silent. Hermione turned towards the door and froze. The two boys walked a few more steps into the room and stopped, both were wearing huge grins. Suddenly, Hermione gained herself again and ran to them, nearly knocking them both over as she hugged them.

"Easy Hermione." Ron said with a smile.

"Easy he says. Indeed. You two, I --" She was, for the first time Ron could remember, speechless.

"We two what, Mione?" Harry said as he pulled her closer and planted a huge kiss on her lips.

"I wasn't sure I'd ever get the chance to do that again." Harry smiled.

Hermione started to cry, as she held tight to Harry.

Ron walked over to a chair and sat down.

"Where is Kiara?" Hermione finally asked, after getting control of her emotions.

Ron looked at Harry then back to Hermione.

"Actually, she hasn't come back yet. Harry assures me she's fine though." Ron answered, not really feeling to sure.

"She is Ron, My chest has been radiating that familiar warmth she likes to send me when she is particularly happy. I'm sure she'll be back ---" He trailed off as the door to the common room opened.

"Miss me?" Kiara asked as she walked into the room.

Ron jumped off the couch and grabbed her up, swinging her around then kissed her, stopped, smiled at her and then kissed her again.

"I love you to Ron." Kiara said in a happy tone, almost too happy.

Harry gave her a sideways glance but decided to leave it be for now.

The whole of the Gryffindor House, by that time had begun to swarm around the three, asking questions and shaking their hands. After what seemed hours, Kiara told them she should really get to her own House. Ron insisted on going with her. Clearly, he had no intentions of letting her out of his sight, anytime soon.

Later, after things had calmed down and dinner was over. Harry, Ron, Kiara and Hermione, found a nice quite place to sit and talk. It had been quite some time since the four of them had sat together like this and it was a relief, to finally be able to do so.

"So you mean to tell me that it isn't over?" Hermione stated more than asked.

"No, Hermione. Not for me anyway. The fate says that Kiara has one last thing to do but after she completes it, she's done and can live her life. I, however, still have Voldemort to contend with. Evidently, it's my job to see to it that he is disposed of correctly." Harry replied, a little sarcastically.

"By the way Kiara, do you know what it is that you still need to take care of?" He finished.

Kiara looked at the three of them then to Harry specifically.

"It's something I will take care of tomorrow." Then she looked at Ron and smiled. "Sorry Ron, I will need to leave you for a few more days, but please, don't worry, I'll be fine." She finished.

"So, I take it your not going to tell us what it is." Ron said.

Kiara shook her head.

"No Ron, I'm not. I can only say that it is between Lucius and myself. There is nothing you can do to help it. I must talk with him. Now, no more questions." Kiara turned to Ron and kissed his cheek.

The four of them sat up most the night talking. When finally it came time to say their good nights, it was beginning to get light out. Kiara went with them to the Gryffindor common room, said goodnight to Harry and Hermione then turned to Ron.

"I'm leaving now. Please, don't follow." She said, kissing his cheek once again.

Ron frowned.

"Already?" He asked with a sad face.

"Oh stop. I'll be back before you know it then we can graduate and live our lives in peace. I just have to take care of this one last problem, that's all."

With that said, Kiara hugged Ron and left the common room.

On her way out of the castle, she crossed paths with Professor Dumbledore.

"Kiara, where are you off to this early?" He asked.

"Lucius. I must talk with Lucius." She replied, smiling at her godfather.

Dumbledore nodded and she was off.

[Damion]

yes, please continue. :)

Unfinished Business





Lucius stood against a tree at the spot he had last seen Kiara. He wondered what this was all about. Suddenly, he heard her voice behind him.

"Good Morning Lucius, I see that you did indeed get my owl. Good." Kiara said as she began walking towards him.

"Yes Kiara I did, what is this --" He trailed off and an angry expression suddenly took over his features. "What is HE, doing here, I thought you killed him." Lucius said furiously.

Kiara smiled as she pushed Max to the ground in front of her.

"What, and deny you the pleasure of watching? I wouldn't dream of it." She said with an evil grin pasted on her beautiful face.

Lucius began to grin, his anger forgotten completely.

"I knew I liked you." He said.

Then giving Max a harsh stare turned to Kiara.

"So, what do you have planned?" He asked.

This earned him a giant grin from Kiara.

"Well, I made him a promise that I intend to keep ---" She answered.

Max, let out a small feeble gasp as the realization set in as to how he was to meet his end.

The sun was high in the afternoon sky. There wasn't a cloud to be seen and they could hear the birds signing their songs as Lucius and Kiara settled in the lawn chairs they had placed next to the round table. The Champaign was chilled in an ice bucket. Lucius pulled the cork off the bottle and poured some into each of their glasses. Kiara looked down at hers.

"And to think, he actually wanted wine, but I insisted that our wedding drink would have to be champagne, and it seems as though, there is quite a lot of it. Shame Harry couldn't be here to enjoy it with us. But alas, he would have objected to our entertainment." Kiara said in an offhand manner.

She then waved her hand and suddenly an anguished scream could be heard over the sounds of the bird's song. Lucius and Kiara looked out over the cliffs as Max hung, suspended in the air alight with flames. Kiara turned to Lucius.

"A toast to out new friendship." She raised her glass. Lucius did the same.

"Here, here." He replied as they clinked their glasses together and drank.

"So, they really reinstated you?" Kiara asked as Max let out yet another scream.

"Oh, can't you die a bit quieter?" Kiara chided then waved her hand again and Max could no longer make any further sound. "Better, I'm sorry for that rather rude interruption. Well?" Kiara finished.

Lucius smiled.

"Yes they did, surprisingly. Also, I got the place back. You are more than welcome to come visit, any time you wish. As a matter of fact, I went so far as to put your name on my holdings as well. I guess you can say I, adopted you. So to speak." He told her.

Lucius and Kiara talked until well past dark when they decided to finally go inside. Max's body, as promised by Kiara, had been swept away by the evening breeze to be disintegrated in the ocean. Finally, Lucius and Kiara both found that they were satisfied that Draco's death, had been avenged.

{You did good Kiara; I'll miss talking to you.} The fate said its last words to her as she stepped inside the castle.

Kiara smiled. Good by and, hey, take care of Harry, will ya. She thought to it.

[Damion]

 :o  wow Kiara!

[_Lavender_]

BUMP!!! GREAT STORY!!!!! ;D ;)

[Kiara Johnson]

Kiara returned to school three days later, as promised. She looked and felt better than she had in years. The first thing she did when she got back was to go to Professor Snapes office and Thank him for watching out for her all those times when she had been forced to play her fathers games. Professor Snape didn't really know how to handle this but assured her that he had no choice in the matter and said that she was welcome any way.

Harry met Kiara in the hall as she was leaving Snape's office.

"What was all that about?" He asked as he peered inside the office at a very confused looking Snape.

"Oh that, I just thanked him, that's all." Kiara shrugged.

"No wonder he looks confused. I don't think anyone has ever thanked Professor Snape for a single thing. At least, not a student." Harry answered with a light smile.

"Where's Ron?" Kiara asked.

"Oh, he went into town with Hermione, they will be back shortly." Harry answered.

"Oh really? And Dumbledore let them go? How is that?" Kiara asked suspiciously.

Harry only smiled.

"It was for a good cause and Dumbledore seemed to agree to the fact." Was all he'd say in the matter.

"So, what now? I mean you still have to go after Father, right? Do you think it'll happen any time soon?" Kiara asked.

Harry winked at her.

"Kiara, I already took care of that but no, Voldemort isn't dead. I've sent him to a place to think about things for a while." Harry replied.

Kiara looked at him questionably.

"Where, or should I say what did you do?" She asked, her interest now peeked very high.

"Well, I had a choice, I could let him go and continue this stupid game. I could attempt to kill him and risk loosing Ron or, could let him think he was let go and trap him. I of course chose to trap him. He is sitting in a top security prison right now. You see, when I let him dissaperated, I threw a spell at him just as he was disappearing from sight; it knocked him off his track and sent him to this place. I can't tell you where, at least not now. So don't ask, please." Harry explained.

Kiara's eyes brightened.
"You mean to tell me we're free. No more Fate this or Fate that?" She asked excitedly.

"No, Kiara, I'm not. Not until that is I decide its time for Voldem0rt to die. The fate is really upset with me however. It would seem, they, the fates, hadn't planned on this option and we're too busy with you to stop it so, well, you know, I didn't let fate decide." Harry said with a very smug look.

Kiara laughed.

"Good, it's about time we had the chance to cheat."

"Yes, Kiara, I agree, only problem is, now that I tricked them, they won't let me near him which means I can't kill him. So, I suppose this may go on for longer than we really wanted. You won't mind that if sometime in the future, I ask for your help with something will you." Harry said with a slight look of apology on his face.

Kiara smiled at him, a smile that told him that no matter how hard it would be, she'd help him in any way possible.  She didn't have to answer.

[Sabastian]

I WILL POST THIS ENDING WITH IN TE WEEK>  THIS I DO PROMISE YOU< MY READERS>

[Kiara Johnson]

   
One year later, Kiara stands in the dressing room; Hermione is putting the final touches to her hair.

"You look so pretty Kiara.  I think Ron might faint when he sees you walk down that isle to him."

"I certainly hope not."  Kiara replied with a wink.

Some one knocked at the door.

"I'll get it Kiara."  Ginny said.

Ginny walked over and opened up the door and then stepped out side.

"What are you doing over here Harry, it's almost time."

"I need to talk to Kiara, I know this isn't the best time and all but. Come on Ginn, let me talk to her, its not like I'm the groom or anything."  Harry persisted.


"Oh, all right, but this better be quick, she needs to meet you and Ron out there in ten minutes."

Ginny opened up the door and let him through.

"Harry?"  Kiara said, looking confused as to why he was here and not with Ron.

"Don't worry, Ron hasn't fainted or anything like that, although, after one look at you, he just might."  He started then lost his smile and looked at her seriously.  "Remember last year when I asked if I could call on you if I needed you for anything?"  He said, looking at her, his emerald eyes matching the color of hers and looking for the entire world like he was very sorry.

"Now really isn't such a good time Harry."  Kiara replied, raising a brow.

"Well, not RIGHT now, but later, after the wedding.  I got a message and Voldemort has been set free again.  I need to go to the Ministry, they think you, for some reason set him free."

"WHAT!"  Kiara yelled then sighed.  "I suppose I'll have Aurors at my wedding then?"

"Absolutely not Kiara, that's why I need to make sure you will come with me after."

"Does Ron know?"

"Not yet.  I thought it best we didn't say anything till after you two got hitched."

Kiara smiled slightly.

"In other words, you're going to leave it up to me to tell him then."  He replied with less than a happy tone.  "Very well, you best get going, we'll straighten this all out after the wedding."  She finished, giving Harry a kiss on his cheek.

Harry turned to walk out.

"Oh, and thanks Harry.  I owe you one."

Harry smiled and then left.

"It's time Kiara, they are waiting."  Lavender some on and told her.

Kiara walked form the room and started her walk down the isle the wedding had started.


"WHAT!"  Ron yelled.

"Sorry Ron."  Kiara said, looking a little apologetic.

Ron kissed his bride then sighed.

"You better go, might want to get out of you're gown first though, you might look a bit crazy showing up at the Ministry wearing it."  He said.

"Oh Ron, I won't be gone long, I just need to find out why they think I did it.  That's all.  I'll be back before you know it and we can get on with our party.  Don't get too drunk with out me now.  K?"

"Be careful, this could all be a trick you know."

"I know.  See you in a bit."
