Harry Potter and What Happened After - Sahits

"Now that that has been settled," said McGonagall, a confused look on her face, "I can tell you what the
plans for the school are."
But before she could start Harry interrupted, "Professor, as much as I'd like to hear about the plans for
next year, I'd like to get some sleep even more, and I'm sure my friends agree. We've been up for almost
two days straight, and I even died once." This drew a look of surprise from McGonagall, Ron and
Hermione, but Harry gave them all a look that said I'll explain later.
"Very well Mr. Potter. The Head student's dorms are located at the exact center of the castle. The
password is Balderdash at the moment, but it can be changed at any time. If it is changed, please
inform me of the password change." Professor McGonagall said, "Mr. Potter, I think it would be wise if
you stayed in the same set of rooms with Mr. Weasley and Miss. Granger next year. I think that you
would be in danger, from both admirers and enemies alike. There are some extra bedrooms in the Head
Student's dormitories, usually they are used for visitors or students that need a bit of privacy for a
while."
"Thank you Professor," said Harry as he tried to stifle a yawn, he was suddenly very tired, "I'll come to
your office after I wake up to discuss next year with you."
"Thank you Potter," she said, "the password will be Dumbledore."
"The pass…" started Harry, "Oh, you're the new Headmistress, congratulations, there is nobody that is
better for the job."
"Thank you Potter," said McGonagall, "now go to bed." She suddenly seemed very weary and tired
herself, it was as if she had suddenly aged 15 years. Harry could still see a spark in her eyes, the spark
that had caused her to be such a good teacher and loyal member of the Order, but there was something
more there. Suddenly Harry recognized a depth that he had seen before, when he looked in the mirror.
Harry realized that McGonagall now carried the responsibility of overseeing the education of hundreds
of young Witches and Wizards, as well as rebuilding Hogwarts. It was a daunting task, but Harry had
no doubt that McGonagall could handle it.
Harry, Ron and Hermione left, taking the spiral staircase down, and then started a long, silent walk to
the short tower at the center of the school. Harry had known the tower existed, but had always assumed
that it was either unused or used for a class he didn't take.
Some where along the way, Ginny joined the group, taking Harry's hand and holding on tight, as if she
thought he would pull away. But he didn't, he felt no need to, and after a few seconds Ginny relaxed her
grip and Harry pulled her a bit closer. When this happened both Ron and Hermione looked over, but
neither of them said anything.
A few minuets later they arrived at the tower, they stopped in front of a stretch of wall that looked the
same as any other. Looking around Harry noticed that the battle damage to the inside of the castle here
was minimal.
"Why did we stop?" asked Ginny, "I thought we were taking the long way to Gryffindor tower."
"No," said Ron, a small smirk spread across his face, "Hermione and I have been made Head Boy and
Head Girl for next year, and McGonagall said that Harry, and us could use the Head Student's dorms so
we can get some privacy."
"Oh, congratulations," said Ginny with a smile on her face. "Good for the two of you, I don't think
there's anybody else that deserves it more. But I guess this means I have to leave you guys here." Ginny
said as she started to walk away. But Harry was still holding her hand, and wouldn't let go.
"No, I want you to stay. I need you to stay" said Harry, tears coming to his eyes. Ginny just nodded and
