This is the 25th chapter and in honor of the number, it is the 25th of December.... which means CHRISTMAS!! Harry has a very [i]family[/b] christmas and enjoys it completely...... well, all but the part where he ended up stuck in a snowbank, the wet socks, giving Ginny her gift in front of all her brothers, and the fact that his favorite mutt wasn't around to celebrate with him.

Can we get any more exciting then the last Quidditch game of the year? And Harry hasn't been in the hospital wing yet for a Quidditch injury! Can he possible make it without getting hurt? Would this be a HP fic if he did? But don't worry, there's lot's that happens after... Exams for one...

We find out the fate of our foolish, yet brave hero. But what happens to those left behind? Could everyone truly get out without a scratch? Physical or emotional?

The D.A. has craft time followed by story time. We learn some interesting facts about Thia and her friends. But let us not forget the hero of our story. Harry finds something to occupy his mind and is moved to a new cell.

Voldemort uses his new found entry into Harry's brain to torture him. The only question is: what are nightmares from Harry's mind and what are the nightmares from Voldemort and what are the visions of real life? That's technically three questions, but they are the most imortant!

Draco has good news and bad news for Harry? Which does he find out first? Harry finds out both, but only one makes sense. Read the chapter to find out how Wormtail fulfills his debt... or does he?

Harry finds out several important things from several interesting source. Should he believe them? What happens when several people he doesn't expect meet?

Here's the start of the happy ending folks! Just two more chapter of Loss of Innocence. The wedding goes as well as planned... with a few slight, er, changes. I'm sure the twins had nothing to do with them!

Well, tis the end folks. Harry stands up for himself, until he realizes that some battles can not be won. He reads the letters that Ginny has written him in their notebook. And... *drumroll* Harry opens the gift from his mum... the gift Thia delivered on his birthday. Some endings aren't perfect, but this one is happy... And happy does not mean perfect.
