"Three, two, one, OW! Son of a..."

"Hey, Fred, glad you could make it."

"Hey, Harry. Man, from reading the books these portkeys didn't sound that bad, but it hurts like hell. I felt like someone was trying to yank my liver out through my spine."

"Sorry about that, it does take some getting used to. Anyway, we're all assembled in the great hall for you."

"Excellent, Harry. Lead the way."

Harry then led me across the entryway of Hogwarts over to the massive oak doors that marked the entrance to the great hall. Once inside, I strolled up to the podium in front of all the students and gave a little wave to the professors. Everyone seemed a lot happier to see me than they did the last time I was here.

"Hey, everybody! I want to thank you all for inviting me back to talk to you today. Uh, I guess I should start off by asking if you had any questions for me. I know I've had you all doing a lot of stuff over the last couple months, so go ahead and let me know what's on your mind. I'm sure the readers would appreciate hearing what you have to say. Ah, Ginny, what's your question for me?"

"Hi, Fred! Yes, I was wondering if you were going to do any continuation of 'Girl'. That had to be the saddest damn story ever. And you had me pregnant with Neville's baby? Yuck! You better have something good planned for me in the future."

"Er, yes, well, 'Girl' was a bit sad, I suppose. As for you in the future, I'm sure Neville will grow on you eventually. Besides, he's a pureblood, you're a pureblood, it's all good. And Neville, hey, you know what they say, 'red in the head, fire in the..."

"Hey! My sister happens to be fifteen!" Ron said angrily.

"Oops, forgot for a second. My bad. Anyway, next question. Ron?"

"Are you finally done with that stupid story that started in 'Silent all these years'? I never did like that one. And that last part you just did, 'Baby Girl', was really stupid. Why in the hell did you make me a singer? I can't sing worth a damn."

"Yes, sorry about that. I just always thought that the trio might have a falling out over Hermione. And who says you can't sing? It's my story! I have you sounding like James Taylor most of the time. In the future, I'll have you being a lot happier, trust me. Cho, how about you?"

"I wanted to know what you're going to do with me in the future. I come off as a bitch in most of your stories, but I'm really not. It feels like you don't like me, or something.

"Do you really think so? I'm sorry; it's not that I don't like you, not at all. Oh, wait, yes it is. Hermione should have kicked your ass when she had the chance. Next question. Hermione?"

"Thank you, Fred. I was wondering why you are still so keen on getting Harry and I together. J.K. has gone on record saying that we will never be. Why fight a losing battle?"

"A valid question. Yes, I am a die hard Harry and Hermione person, and J.K. has indeed said that you two aren't going to get together. However, she has also stated that the character of Ron is based on a boy from her own teenage years who drove, strangely enough, a Ford Anglia. She never married that guy, though. Have you ever seen her current husband? Dark hair and glasses? I think the similarities are there. I'm proud of the trilogy I did about the two of you recently. But, as I've said many times, I support any kind of 'ship' that people do. I'm glad nobody picked up on the Grawp-Winky connection, though. That was just a joke. Ron, you have another question?"

"Are you going to make me a jerk in the future? I'm tired of being an ass in almost every Harry/Hermione story that people do."

"Not at all. I have you being a perfectly good person coming up. You'll be no more of an ass than you usually are. Ernie, do you have something to ask?"

"Damn straight I do! I want to say thanks for ruining my relationship with Hannah. We were doing great until you did that story on us. I'd never do anything like that to her! What am I supposed to do now?"

"Well, just go out with someone else."

"Like who?"

"What about Susan Bones? She isn't dating anyone, is she?"

"Of course not! She's about as plain as a lettuce sandwich."

"Hey now, that's not nice! Where is she? Is that her next to Finch-Fletchley? Woof. Point taken. Ok, how about I change how she looks? There, now she looks like Anna Paquin. Happy? Good. Luna, do you have something to ask me?"

"I'd like to know if you were planning on doing another story like you did in 'Your body is a wonderland.' I'd rather like to be in one of those. Harry can park his firebolt under my bunk any day."

"Yowza! Well, I tell you, if Harry isn't game I'll be right up. You're a lot cuter than the books do you credit for. I went to college with a girl like you. Harry, you have a question?"

"Tell us about those stories that you gave up on. What's the deal with that?"

"Ah, yes, the lost episodes. The first was called 'Like everyone she knows.' The idea was that the trio was at Grimmauld Place during the summer after book five, when Tonks tells them all that her cousin is coming to visit for the summer. The cousin turns out to be Luna. Hermione isn't thrilled with the idea, but later realizes that Luna has a crush on Harry and helps her tell him so. It was cute, but I couldn't get the structure right on it. I've mentioned before that I've been told to get a Beta, even though I've had one for a while. His name is Steven Frederick Bline, and he also happens to be my three month old nephew. I read him every one of the stories I finish, and it he doesn't experience some kind of bodily function, I know I've got a winner. The second one was called 'Angel.' The idea of that one was Harry, Ron, Luna, and Hermione are together at the Dorchester for Harry's birthday. While there, a girl from Harry's non-magical past comes up and wants to get together with him. In that one, I had Luna and Ron together, and Hermione with Harry. Did I mention that I think those pairings make more sense to me? Ok, last time, I swear. Luna you had something else to ask?"

"What was the deal with your first humor stories that were song-fics from some group called The Uncle Devil show? They were really awful."

"Hey now! You just got a lot less cute. They weren't that bad. Well, ok, they were a little weird. I'll explain. One of my favorite bands is Del Amitri. They broke up, and the lead singer formed the band The Uncle Devil Show. So, I wanted to involve them somehow. Sorry about that. Ron, you have another question for me?"

"Don't you think doing a story like 'I Panicked' and this one is just a cheap way of telling people what you think?"

"Ron, you are absolutely correct. Sadly, you will still have to spend the rest of this story with your head in Hagrid's armpit. Hagrid, would you mind? Thank you. Next question. Ah, Dumbledore, what would you like to know?"

"I was wondering what you were thinking about for your Schnoogle length story."

"Excellent question! I was hoping someone would ask me that! Well, first off, I'm not sure if I'm going to do one story or two. My original idea was to do a story on year seven, and then do another one set about five years later. I'm not sure what I'll end up with. Anyway, here are a few teasers for all of you to ponder.

1. Is Peter Pettigrew beyond saving?

2. What exactly is the connection between Harry and Luna? Is there more than we know of that they have in common?

3. Why does Dumbledore trust Snape so much? How can he be so sure he's reformed?

4. How the hell old is Dumbledore? How has he lived so long?

5. How much does Petunia Dursley really know about the magical world?

6. What does the prophecy really mean? Is there more to it than even Dumbledore and Harry know? How will Harry turning seventeen, thereby being an adult, effect things?

7. Who will Hermione end up with? And why would Voldemort like to kill her just as much as he would Harry?

8. Will Ron ever get things right?

9. Will Draco and his father ever have a parting of the ways? Will Draco ever get tired of looking like Richie Rich?

10. Will Neville ever come into his own?

11. Will Percy come back to his family? Will they take him back?

12. Are Harry's parents really dead?

13. What is Voldemort's master plan? Or is he merely following someone else's orders?

14. Have we seen the last of Sirius?

15. Will everything end happily ever after? Who will be the next to die? Can the trio stay together through it all?

So, that's a few of the things I'll be covering. According to my watch, I've only got about two minutes before I have to get back to my world. I'd like to thank all the characters and all the readers for sticking with me. I've loved reading all the fan-fics, and I hope you've liked reading mine. To wrap up, I will now sing a little verse that another of my favorite bands used to wrap up their own story. Thanks again, everyone. "

If I could only hear what you all are saying

Maybe we could talk and get along

But I can't hear myself playing

There's so many people under these trees tonight

I never dreamed we'd meet so many of you

When we started so long ago

But there's some things I've got to do now

There's so many places I've got to go

I'd like to stay

But I couldn't stay with you

I've got to go

There's a lot I want to do

Will you miss me when I'm gone?

I know I'll miss you

Especially when the sun goes down

My baby says she mine you know

She tells me all the time you know

She said so

She said so

My baby says she mine you know

She tells me all the time you know

She said so

She said so
