Soooo it's the last chapter of the Princess of Light. I hope you've enjoyed the new storylines and characters. I know a lot of new information was send your way in this one so I hope everyone still understands the plot.

If not, you can always ask!

In return I have something to ask of you. The new book is mostly written and will be published in the new year. But as with every book I need a cover. So if you're handy with that sort of thing. Message me please.

Enjoy this last chapter!

HE WHO MUST NOT BE NAMED RETURNS

In a brief statement on Friday night, Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge confirmed that He Who Must Not Be Named has returned to this country and is once more active.

"It is with great regret that I must confirm that the wizard styling himself Lord - well, you know who I mean - is alive and among us again," said Fudge, looking tired and flustered as he addressed reporters. "It is with almost equal regret that we report the mass revolt of the Dementors of Azkaban, who have shown themselves averse to continuing in the Ministry's employ. We believe that the Dementors are currently taking direction from Lord - Thingy.

"We urge the magical population to remain vigilant. The Ministry is currently publishing guides to elementary home and personal defence which will be delivered free to all wizarding homes within the coming month."

The Minister's statement was met with dismay and alarm from the wizarding community, which as recently as last Wednesday was receiving Ministry assurances that there was 'no truth whatsoever in these persistent rumours that You-Know-Who is operating amongst us once more.'

Details of the events that led to the Ministry turnaround are still hazy, though it is believed that He Who Must Not Be Named and a select band of followers (known as Death Eaters) gained entry to the Ministry of Magic itself on Thursday evening.

Albus Dumbledore, newly reinstated Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, reinstated member of the International Confederation of Wizards and reinstated Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot, has so far been unavailable for comment. He has insisted over the past year that You-Know-Who is not dead, as was widely hoped and believed, but is recruiting followers once more for a fresh attempt to seize power. Meanwhile the 'Boy Who Lived' -

"There you are, Harry." Said Hermione, looking over the top of the paper at him.

"I knew they'd drag you into it somehow." Sighed Aurora, resting her head on Caspian's shoulder and closing her eyes.

They were in the hospital wing. Caspian and Aurora were sitting on the end of Hermione's bed, all of them listening to Hermione reading the front page of the Sunday Prophet. Ginny, whose ankle had been mended in a trice by Madam Pomfrey, was curled up at the foot of Ron's bed with Harry. Neville, whose nose had likewise been returned to its normal size and shape, was in a chair between the two beds. And Luna, who had dropped in to visit, clutching the latest edition of The Quibbler, was reading the magazine upside-down and apparently not taking in a word Hermione was saying.

"He's the 'Boy Who Lived' again now, though, isn't he?" Said Ron darkly. "Not such a deluded show-off anymore, eh?"

"Yes, they're very complimentary about you now, Harry." Said Hermione, scanning down the article. " 'A lone voice of truth...perceived as unbalanced, yet never wavered in his story...forced to bear ridicule and slander...seeing his loved one die in what the Ministry called an 'accident'...."
