The End
As controlled as she tried to be, on the slow ascent upstairs, Amelia felt herself beginning to panic. Her breathing was thick and heavy in her throat, and it felt like she was gaining weight by the second, each step becoming more and more difficult. Questions surged through her head without intermission, a blur of fear and doubt.
'What if I can't do it? What if it doesn't work? What would Mother think if that happened? What about the girls at school?'
"It'll work. Just believe, this is what you want."
Sophie's voice rattled in her head again with each weighted footfall on the exceptionally carpeted stairs. Everything was spick and span as usual, glistening with the latest decorations of her mother's interior design friends. It was home - yet it wasn't anymore, and that was what frightened Amelia. She knew, that once she closed her bedroom door - and locked it, just to be sure - she wasn't coming out...
First, she sank down on her bed, the covers cold and spread tautly over her high mattress. It was here that David had first told her he loved her, both of them half-naked on top of the covers with just a blanket and the complete collection of Lost. Her response had taken a while, and it had been pitiful - "thank you." He hadn't spoken to her for a couple days after that, until she'd told it back to him, and they'd been closer than ever.
'David, oh David. I'm so sorry. But I know you'll be alright.'
Amelia spent a while trying to catch her breath, exhausted as if she'd just run a marathon. She scanned her room, the flatscreen television mounted on the wall, the dressers covered in phone covers and make-up, three different outfit sets screwed up in the wicker basket. It was all hers, all gifts and privilege, and she knew she should have been happy. But the emptiness in her stomach burrowed deeper, feeding off of her from the inside out. There was no other option. Reaching into her handbag, she pulled out the ampule and set it down on the dresser. The pills glistened through the orange container, the label addressed: MRS LAURA MCADAMS. Her mother didn't know, of course, that Amelia had decided to pick up her sleeping medication today.
* * *
First, she felt tired, as if her head was becoming heavier and heavier, dragging her down, busy with voices shouting and slurring.
"You no-good, air-headed SLUT...David'd be bett'r off witho't yo'! Honestly, Amelia, what IS the point of you?"
Before she knew it, there were tears in her eyes as she dry-swallowed the next, and the next. Sophie was right, Sophie was always right, how could she ever doubt her best friend like that? She stared at herself in the dresser mirror, propping her head up with her hand, ruffling and tangling the neatly combed fringe she'd worked on for quarter of an hour this morning. Her brown eyes were wide and her pupils had swelled like pools of oil. She wasn't herself, she wasn't Amelia anymore, and that was for the best. She would never do something like this, everybody would be ashamed of her if they knew what she was thinking.
Rising slowly, her arms becoming slack at her sides, she walked slowly towards her bed where the pills were spread out on the covers, gulping down one more until her eyes tried to close on her. No...more, I need more, otherwise it won't work! It has to work!
I can't wake up...not to this...I don't want to...
She slipped from the bed to the floor, clutching for more of the glistening, white pills but they were too far away. The ground seemed to sink, everything rising higher and higher above her, twisting and blurring out of place. Finally, the strength in her neck failed, and her head fell to the floor, staring up at the ceiling with glow-in-the-dark stars that her father had put there when she was five. She'd remembered ordering him where to put them, which made the right patterns, and he'd laughed, moving the ladder and doing exactly as she'd said. It was too happy a memory for her to take them down years later, and now, they glowed a little, her curtains shutting out the afternoon light just enough. Tears seared the corners of her eyes, like molten metal welding them shut, and all of a sudden there was a rush of cold up her body from her feet to her throat, goosebumps rising on her arms before darkness scrambled around her...
She was gone for just a moment, and then came the heat. It burnt her at her fingertips, painful enough for her eyelashes to flicker and for her eyes to open just the slightest. Blurred, she saw him. She knew him, but she didn't. He was a stranger, but his thick-lashed eyes locking onto hers made the heat bearable, even as she tried to scream unsuccessfully from an aching, dry throat. His eyes were like the sky, like the beautiful blue beyond the clouds, and leaning down, his dark hair cast shadows across his cheekbones. He was speaking, she saw his mouth moving. She tried to reach up and brush her fingers across them - he was so beautiful, radiant, like a dark star - but her body wouldn't move. Her ears felt as if they were burning, and then she could barely hear him, his voice deep and fading in and out like a dying signal. She realised there was a device to his ear, a silver phone.
"#A8-9-932...one dosage...emergency Grace revival...give a seraph's ass..."
Like drops of snow, Amelia felt his fingertips stroking her cheek, and she was fixated on him as he snapped the phone shut and pocketed it so that both hands were on her cheeks. Something in his hands began to glow, she wanted to wriggle away, to stop him from whatever he was doing. But she was numb and helpless as the glow began to spread, burning bright and white like the depths of fire. It seemed to engulf the whole room, everything bled of colour, and then she felt the light at the backs of her eyes, burning her nerves so that she could feel again. Her veins were alight and she swore her skin was melting, rising into a climax of agony that set her free from the darkness and let her scream aloud.

text: No matter the sport, it's always a big deal when Bangor and Brewer get together. Last week they faced off in basketball with Brewer coming away the winner in the boys game and Bangor winning in the girls game. Tonight the two schools faced off on the ice and like so many times before, the two schools did not disappoint.Tonight's game taking place at a packed Sawyer Arena…We start in the second period. Brewer up 3-1 and the Witches attacking again. The puck lands in front of the net and Tyler White buries it home to put Brewer up 4-1. Then White and the fans exchange some choice words. Three goal lead for Brewer means the game is over, right?Well, not so fast…Later on in the second period, Bangor begins to come back. Ryan King gets the puck after the delayed penalty and fires it into the net to make it 4-2 Brewer…Then in the third period, after a Brewer goal made it 5-3, Nic Cota scores for Bangor to make it 5-4. The Rams would then get a goal in the final minute to complete their comeback. It was another classic at The Sawyer… 5-5 the final score.

Boris Johnson's dedication to ushering as much road traffic as possible into London and helping it through the capital as fast as it can go has been a hallmark of his mayoralty. Halving the congestion charging zone, re-phasing traffic lights and describing Westminster's abandoned plan to extend parking charges as "completely mad" are just some examples of his dedication to the fixed false belief that more motoring makes modern cities more pleasant and prosperous. Though cars, vans, lorries and cabs will always be a part of London's transport mix, most good judges abandoned that urban freeway fantasy long ago.
The funny, enlightening short documentary by Jay Foreman from 2011 embedded below gives a vivid idea of how and why London has escaped the sort of fate politicians like the mayor still seem to long for.

It Could Happen to You : The Inspirational Story of the Crime Victim Who Became the People's Crusader Paperback
by Helen Newlove
When Helen was 20, she met Garry Newlove at a local disco.
They married in 1986 and had three daughters. On 10 August 2007, Garry was brutally beaten by a gang of youths outside the family home in Warrington.
He died two days later. It was an act of violence that shocked the nation and would have a profound impact on the lives of Helen and her children.
After the ordeal of a ten-week trial and the murder conviction of three youths, Helen held a press conference, giving a speech that attracted national media attention and propelled her into the role of a campaigner for victims' rights and against the lawlessness that blights so many of our towns and cities. In 2010, Helen was appointed a seat in the House of Lords among some of the most powerful and influential people in the country.
Today, she is Baroness Newlove of Warrington, a tireless campaigner against antisocial behaviour and for the rights of victims and witnesses.
In this engaging memoir, Helen recounts how her family was shattered by Garry's murder and how good unexpectedly came out of evil.
Her remarkable story is not one of politics and committees; it is about real people and the impact that crime has on us all.

Two independently owned Vancouver theatres will be sold to Cineplex Entertainment, but their tradition of showing art, foreign and independent films will live on.
The Fifth Avenue Cinemas and the Park Theatre will be added to the company's portfolio on March 1, it announced Friday.
"I'd been operating movie theatres for 35 years now, and both my partner, Tom Lightburn, and myself turned 65 this year so it was time to retire," said Leonard Schein, the theatres' owner and founder of the Vancouver International Film Festival.
Mr. Schein's company, Festival Cinemas, was forced to close its Ridge Theatre two weeks ago after property owners decided last spring to tear it down to make way for a retail complex and condos.
The Fifth Avenue Cinemas and the Park Theatre are the company's last two theatres.
"I felt they [Cineplex] were the best operators of movie theatres and they would keep these theatres going, and pay landlords and keep staff," said Mr. Schein, about his decision to sell to the company. "I have confidence in Cineplex that they will keep these theatres going for the long term."
Pam Marshall, Cineplex's vice-president of communications and investor relations, told The Globe and Mail that the company has every intention on continuing the tradition of showing art, foreign and independent films in the theatres.
"Our plan is to absolutely keep the programming in the same format that's been successful for many years," she said. "We don't see that it makes sense to make any changes on that front."
Ms. Marshall says that movie prices will remain the same, but added that moviegoers will now be able to save money through SCENE cards and discount programs like Cineplex Tuesdays.
Mr. Schein said he wanted to thank all those in the community who had attended Festival Cinemas' theatres over the last three and a half decades.
He says he believes his legacy will continue to be felt.
"When I started 35 years ago, Vancouver really only had Hollywood studio films," he said. "Festival Cinemas has really helped nurture the audience and appreciation of independent, art and foreign films."Report Typo/Error

Faris Khoury went on to become Prime minister of Syria from October 14, 1944 to October 1, 1945 and from October 1954 to February 13, 1955. Khoury's ascension to the upper echelons of Syrian politics is remarkable, in light of the fact that he was Christian. Faris Koury's position as Prime Minister is, till this day, the highest political position a Syrian Christian has ever reached. Khoury's electoral popularity was due in part to his staunch secularist and nationalist policies. As a die-hard Syrian nationalist, Khoury never compromised on his principles and was resolutely against pan-Arabism and the ill-fated union between Syria and Egypt. Khoury opposed the short-lived union between Nasser's Egypt and republican Syria, the United Arab Republic. Through it all Faris Khoury served his country for almost 50 years.

About the Competitive Process
ACF first indicates that funding will be available through an announcement on the Department of Health and Human Services' Grants Forecast site. On this website you can search by agency to view planned ACF funding opportunities Forecasted opportunities are subject to change based on enactment of congressional appropriations.
When funding is available and ACF is ready to accept applications, ACF will issue an official notice as known as a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), which will be available on Grants.gov, the same place you will go to submit your application. As ACF's FOAs are announced, the full FOAs are also posted on ACF's website.
Each funding opportunity announcement will include a due date of not less than 60 days from the posting date of that FOA. Applications must be submitted electronically and received and validated through the Grants.gov system by the due date and time to be considered in the competitive process
How Will My Application Be Evaluated
Grant applications receive a comprehensive review, conducted by a panel of independent subject matter experts who are selected from a group of qualified individuals to become grant reviewers and/or a panel chairperson.
Applications are reviewed by at least three reviewers, who separately score the application according to evaluation criteria found in Section V.1. of the funding opportunity announcement (FOA). Each panel also has a chairperson that does not score applications, but facilitates the review process with reviewers and compiles comments for the Applicant Panel Summary report. This report describes the consensus of the panel reviewers' comments and the overall average score for the application. The full panel reaches this summary based on individual reviews of each application according to the published evaluation criteria.
Evaluation criteria vary for each FOA, and applicants should refer to the specific FOA to which they are applying, but some common categories include:
- Objectives and Needs for Assistance;
- Approach;
- Program Performance Evaluation;
- Organizational Capacity; and
- Budget and Budget Justification.
If marked differences of opinion about an application exist among reviewers, the panel chairperson and reviewers will discuss the reasons for these differences and seek consensus. Once reviewers have reached consensus, the chairperson will send the Applicant Panel Summary report to the federal staff member(s) overseeing the panel. The federal staff member(s) reviews comments to ensure that they correspond to the appropriate published FOA evaluation criteria and substantiate the score on the Applicant Panel Summary report. Once approved by the federal staff member, the final score for each application is sent to the program office for consideration in making their funding decisions.
In 2013, ACF implemented a new policy that requires all applicants, whether successful or unsuccessful, to receive a copy of their Applicant Panel Summary Report. The Applicant Panel Summary Report is a compilation of the reviewer's strengths and weakness statements on all criteria from the reviewed FOA.
This information may be helpful as constructive feedback for future applications specific to that program.
Agencies interested in applying for funding are encouraged to review the ACF How to Write a Strong Application webpage.
The content on this page is for informational purposes and should not be construed as instructions for submitting an application. Please refer to the Funding Opportunity Announcement of interest for detailed instructions.

Applicants should use their best judgment in determining whether they are able to meet the requirements contained in the funding opportunity announcement (FOA), whether they are able to develop an application they believe to be responsive to the FOA and in designing and writing their applications.
Applications will be reviewed and evaluated by objective review panels using the criteria described in Section V.1 of the FOA. The review panels will use the FOA as their principal guidance available to them in the same way that it is the principal guidance for applicants.

ACF program offices will notify applicants that were not funded either via email or through hard copy mail. These applicants will also receive a copy of their Applicant Panel Summary Report. The Applicant Panel Summary Report is a compilation of the reviewer's strengths and weakness statements on all criteria from the reviewed FOA. If the application was reduced in response to FOA requirements, the applicant will also receive a letter explaining why the application was reduced.
Interested applicants may email the OHS Operations Center at firstname.lastname@example.com for additional information.

In response to an Associated Press article Nov. 19, 2011.
November 22, 2011
Dear Editor:
I write to correct the inaccuracies and false claims that permeated a recent Associated Press story regarding a delicate medical training procedure that saves the lives of infants who are on the verge of ceasing to breathe.
The story about the use of cats to teach residents and first responders how to perform tracheal intubation on infants failed to include critical facts about the training procedures at the University of Virginia.
As background, more than 1 million newborns either die or are seriously injured from perinatal asphyxia each year, but the majority can be successfully resuscitated if an adequate airway can be secured – in less than a minute after the breathing difficulty has been detected.
While we use simulators whenever possible, we have carefully determined that in the case of infants weighing less than four pounds, no current simulator provides adequate training in tracheal intubation – insertion of a tube into a baby's airway when he or she is in distress. At the same time, we continue to work actively on an adequate simulator substitute.
Here are some important facts about this life-saving procedure at the University.
• We conduct two or three training sessions a year here in Charlottesville, with approximately 10 trainees per session.
• Three cats are used in rotation, never all of them in one session.
• During a session, cats are anesthetized and carefully monitored. The session stops if a cat shows any sign of trauma. They are watched carefully afterwards and treated for signs of pain.
• No cats have died or suffered permanent injuries as a result of this training.
• After the cats retire, they are adopted, most often by our animal care staff.
• The USDA regularly inspects our facilities and procedures. The Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care accredits our program.
According to our physicians in the program, the benefits of intubating a live animal have not been successfully duplicated in a mannequin. Our training is invaluable in the seconds one has to successfully intubate a sick newborn.
In contrast, our doctors say, they have seen sick newborn babies who had undergone intubation attempts by those who received different training and the infants had suffered "irreparable damage to their pharynx, vocal cords, and trachea, sometimes resulting in the need for palliative/reconstructive surgeries, tracheostomyinsertions, prolonged mechanical ventilation and most obviously pain and emotional distress."
The expertise gained in intubating cats in a carefully supervised setting, and with no harm to the animals, prevents the damage done to babies by inexperienced responders.
Our physicians believe that the approach we take is far more humane than sending physicians into practice to have their first real-world experience with this life-saving procedure occur on someone's critically ill newborn baby.
Our goal in training physicians is to save the lives of their tiniest patients. We take great care of the three cats that have become our working partners in training physicians to help us reach that goal. They are an integral part of our team and are treated as such.

Rahama Indimi Accuses Ex Husband Mohammed Babangida of Sending Thugs to Abduct Her Children
By Sugar Daily 2 2016-11-10T09:45:00+01:00 Bitter Divorce , Say What?!? , Society
Billionaire rich kids Muhammad Babangida and his wife Rahama Ndimi, went their separate ways earlier this year after 12years of marriage.
Ever since their divorce became public - the pair have been entangled in a bitter custody battle for their kids.
Rahama has on multiple occasions used social media to raise alarm over threat to life and constant victimization from her ex husband.
This morning, she took to Instagram to reveal that Muhammad had sent thugs to "snatch" her children away from her. She also claims the thugs were also under instruction to kill her.
According to her: "Mr Muhammad Babangida,pls understand sending thugs to abduct my children is not helping matters. You have traumatized the kids by sending ur goons to kill me, arrest me while they are watching. Then today you send your thugs again to snatch my children (and they almost killed my precious daughter by grabbing her neck and choking her, thank god the school has good security system otherwise only God knows what will happen) while we are in court! Why won't you allow the court to pass judgment? Are you afraid that you can't corrupt every one? Haba muha, enough is enough. I'm truly blessed the school were quick to react, my driver was quick to respond and my nanny telling the kids to run while she held on tight to the kids that your stupid goons beat her. Allah ya isa. #iamafighter #willfighttilltheend."

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.
Author's Note: Well this is it; my first published Harry Potter Fanfiction. I confess I have been around the block or two reading my share of Harry Potter fanfiction, and I decided to take the premise of one of the more popular ones around her and spin my own tale instead. I'm not going to lie, prepare for a few cliches here, and seemingly similar plots to other works. However, stick with me, and I will try my best to give you my interpretation of the characters in this story. Enjoy!
The Consequences of Revisiting
A Hundred Years Gone, But Only a Night Has Passed
Harry Potter calmly sipped his tea, the hot liquid bringing much relief as it poured down his throat. His muscles relaxed significantly as well as bringing clarity to his dreary mind. He stared at the beautiful woman right in front of him who was at least twenty or so years younger than he was, but to a casual observer, she didn't look much older than Harry. After all, what was one hundred something versus ninety something? However, despite how gorgeous she was on both the outside and inside, there was no way he would ever fall in love with her; Harry Potter was in love with her mother, and forever shall be in love with her only.
Rose Malfoy née Weasley had always enjoyed Harry's company. He was like a father to him, and during her early years, he was a constant factor in her life that it was almost inconceivable for her to separate from him even when she had reached adulthood. Her mother always did say that he would always be there for all those that he cared for, and that was all true…until the day her mother, Hermione Weasley née Granger passed away. When she died, a part of Harry died with her. She was only in Third Year then, but like her brilliant mother, Rose knew the reason why Harry decided to become a hermit.
Harry Potter was in love with Hermione Granger, and it broke his heart to see her gone.
Yes, her surrogate father was in love with her mother. Although he began to grow estranged from almost everyone that knew him, Harry always welcomed her (and Ted, his adopted son) with open arms. He was always there for her. When her mother died, her father, Ron, wasn't much of a father anymore. Although she loved the man for raising her, his neglect over her in her teens caused by the death of her mother created a rift in their relationship that never recovered. Harry replaced him as the man she looked up to in a time of need. Whenever she felt self conscious about her looks, Harry would tell her that she was just as beautiful as her mother when she was her age. Somehow, his words always made her feel better.
"What are you thinking about my dear?" Harry's voice broke through her thoughts, causing her to look up and see his smirking face.
Chuckling softly, the old woman placed her empty cup down and responded, "I never did thank you for taking care of me after mum died."
Harry waved his hand dismissively, "A child needs no reason to thank the person that cared for them as living out life the way that makes you truly happy is thanks enough."
"Well, yes that's true." Rose smiled as she thought of the embarrassing time she admitted having a crush on her husband, then rival, Scorpius Malfoy, back in her Fifth Year. "Though, I remembered you handled me being attracted to Scorpius better than my father ever did."
"Ah yes. Ron never did take a liking to that nice boy did he? He was so very shy in his first year. Not like his father at all!" Harry remembered the memory fondly and then frowned, "I still wished that it was Ron that gave you away instead of I at your wedding. He could be such a git."
"I never forgave him Harry." Rose whispered softly.
"He was your father…" Harry started.
However, Rose interrupted with a shake of her head, "You were more my father than he ever could be. Yes. I knew he loved me Harry. But being a parent for years now, I know that it takes more than love to raise a child."
Harry only nodded his solemnly. He knew the reason why Ron never took after Rose as naturally as he did with Hugo. Although Ron may never have known, Harry could guess that he always had suspected. Staring at the bright, mature woman in front of him, he could see all the familiar traits that he saw in Hermione. However, there were so many traits from her father that was there, most of them subtle and really hard to find if you didn't know what you were looking for. But, the most attractive aspect of her countenance was what gave way as to who her real father was; her piercing green eyes.
"Rose. When your mother died, did she ever leave you a letter?" He asked quietly. Perhaps he was many years too late, but he had to know. Harry had to confirm his doubts.
Rose grew silent for a moment. The letter! She had read the contents of that letter soon after her mother died. Although she acknowledged the truth written in the words that her mother left to her, she never placed it at the forefront of her thoughts. Looking at Harry, light green eyes meeting dark ones, Rose breathlessly murmured,
A flash of green erupted from the fireplace, and stepping out from the green flames covered in soot was none other than Ted Lupin. The younger gentleman sneezed slightly as the dirt tickled his sinuses. It didn't take long for him to absentmindedly take out his wand and performed a quick cleaning spell. He looked around the living room of his adopted father's house to see if he was there, but figured if he had been, he would have greeted him. Stepping out the living room and calling out 'Pop' and 'Dad' here and there, Ted could hear the melancholic sound of a guitar playing from the front porch.
Exiting through the main door of Harry's small, country home, Ted looked to his left and smiled as he saw Harry sitting comfortably on the familiar rocking chair with his guitar on his lap strumming a few notes of a song he never heard of. Grinning from ear to ear despite his old age, Ted enthusiastically greeted his father, "Happy birthday Dad!"
Breaking from his reverie as he played the instrument, Harry looked up and smiled at his son. "Ted! You just missed Rose. We had tea. Would you like some? I could always brew another batch." He made the motion to get up, but Ted quickly told him to just sit as he respectfully refused the request for a drink.
Ted took a seat on the bench and turned to Harry, "So Pop, how does it feel to be 118?"
A low chuckle erupted from the former Boy Who Lived as he leaned back on his own chair, "Well. I'm tired most of the time. I can't eat as many treacle tarts as I used to do. And I can't exactly get on my broom and go flying while doing dangerous stunts anymore I suppose."
Laughing with him, Ted felt comfortable in the company of his father. The pair relaxed in companionable silence as the only noise that could be heard was the pleasant summer wind blowing by and the quiet notes of Harry's guitar as he began tuning the instrument.
"I think it's time I head off to the next grand adventure Ted." Harry announced casually.
Ted's eyes widened in shock as he leaned forward to look at Harry, "Why dad? You're one of the most powerful wizards I know. You could probably live up to a thousand if you wanted to!"
This time, the older man sighed and set down his guitar, "That's the thing Ted. I don't want to. I have not been happy for many years, and it's time I allow myself to go peacefully. I completed my promise, and since I have nothing to look forward to, I want to move on."
"What promise?" Ted asked, confused.
Harry smiled wistfully as he rested his hands on his lap, looking out into the vast plains in from of him, content with how peaceful the day was, "It was before the final battle with Voldemort. Hermione made me promise to her that when I survive the battle, I would live for a hundred more years before I even start thinking about death. It's funny. At the time, it was such a ridiculous request made to lighten the mood, but it is one of the few things I have left to remember of her, and I fulfilled it."
Ted sighed; he knew that when his father was adamant about something, nothing could deter him from following through. Although he would miss him, Ted understood why he wanted to go.
Harry never married. His relationship with Ginny ended as soon as Ron had asked him to be the best man to his and Hermione's wedding and realizing he was in love with his best friend all along. Although Harry knew he could build a future with Ginny, it would be unfair to her. He loved her, but he didn't love her as much as he loved Hermione. In his youth, he was selfish. So very selfish. Seeing Ron with Hermione tore at him until he snapped. He had confessed his feelings to Hermione months after the wedding, and everything that was bottled up inside the two of them exploded in a single night of passion. Harry never regretted it, but Hermione was still married, and she will never leave Ron. Even when she felt the same.
When his two friends started a family, Harry was there to help since he had adopted Ted soon after the war. For years, Harry was always there for Hermione. He supported her, and did everything he can to help. Harry was resigned to the fact that he can never have her, but he was still happy. As long as Hermione was happy, Harry would feel the same.
Her death was an accident. Everyone seemed to have been completely busy on his birthday. Ted was off in Auror training, he had sent Ron off to investigate a new lead on his case and there was a delay, the Elder Weasleys were on vacation in France with Fleur and Bill, George was stuck overseeing some new shops of his that opened up, and Ginny was covering the Irish Quidditch team in their home field for the Prophet. It was only Hermione that was free to spend time with him, and he was elated. It was Harry's suggestion that they spend his birthday the Muggle way and meet at a restaurant in London. She never got to the restaurant; she was killed in a car accident while on the way.
Harry never forgave himself for that.
He moved into a small house in the English countryside away from most people. He closed himself off from so many of his friends, and the only people that wanted and were able to visit were Rose and Ted. From then on, he lived the life of a recluse. Harry learned many things during his time alone. Solitude brought him patience and understanding. He picked up the guitar along with several other instruments, and surprisingly, Harry found writing to be something he enjoyed doing. He began expanding his library and increasing his knowledge (both magical and other) so much that Rose and Ted had once jokingly said that he was channeling Hermione's spirit.
Harry wouldn't be surprised if he had been though.
Now, decades later, Harry was ready to move on to the next great adventure, and Ted couldn't do anything about it. "Well dad, if you feel strongly about it, I'll support you. But so you know…everyone will miss you; and I mean everyone, me, Rose, my family, her family, the Weasleys, and the whole magical community in every corner of the globe."
The tired, old man let out a hearty laugh at that single thought. He had come to accept his fame, and would allow interviews here and there to appease the media. It was a grace that he allowed them if they respectfully don't intrude into his privacy. Looking back at Ted, Harry didn't see the old man, but the cute five year old that was desperately trying to look like his adopted father, "Tell me Ted. Was I a good father?"
Rolling his eyes, the Metamorphmagus crossed his arms and shook his head as he sarcastically said, "No pop, I'm a terrible person. Your upbringing is the reason why I became a prefect and Head Boy in Hogwarts, and the reason why I became Head Auror to catch criminals."
"I didn't think I raised my son to be a sarcastic git…" Harry said his tone playful.
Ted grinned, "Well, for what it's worth, I got my sense of humor from you old man."
With that, Harry smiled; Ted would go along well without him. However, he couldn't help but make one last jibe, "Says the 100 year old who still acts like a teen."
"Oh shut it." Ted muttered, he hated to be reminded of his age.
Harry sat at the edge of his bed, ready to end the day and his life. His affairs had been ready weeks before, and Gringotts would notify everyone in his will upon his death. Most of his fortune would be divided up towards Ted's and Rose's family, while the rest would be sent to other close friends and acquaintances. His grandchildren and great grandchildren would benefit greatly from some of the personal belongings he bequeaths to them. Though he knew everyone close to him would be saddened by his departure, Harry knew for certain that this was what he wanted to do.
He was tired. He had been tired for years, and he finally wanted the rest he richly deserved. Harry hoped that he would see Hermione again, and finally be with Sirius and his parents who had long since been gone.
Harry moved into the covers of his bed and turned to his side. He reached for his glasses before a picture frame on the desk next to his bed caught his gaze. The old wizard reached out towards it and grabbed it. He brought the picture close to his face, his eyesight, despite wearing glasses, was not as good as it used to be. A nostalgic smile appeared as he studied the magical photograph.
It was one of his favorite pictures of himself with Hermione only. It was taken a little bit before the announcement of a Yule Ball during their Fourth Year. It was just the two of them, and it was taken on a whim during a trip to Hogsmeade. Ron hadn't gone despite having made amends with Harry for his earlier mistrust with Harry's motive for participating in the tournament. After having had a great time with Hermione, Harry decided to take a photo commemorate it. Pulling Colin aside for a moment, he asked him to take their picture.
Standing there in front of the camera as happy as they can be was Harry and Hermione. They were grinning from ear to ear, obviously overjoyed at taking a picture and having found some time to relax. Hermione's arms were wrapped around Harry's neck while Harry's had one hand holding Hermione's arm while the other waved at the camera as they stood in front of the entrance of Hogwarts. On occasion, the picture would show Hermione shyly kissing Harry on the cheek as his face blushed from the sudden display of affection.
They were so young back then, and just thinking of the memory tugged at his heart. He had wished he had the Gryffindor courage to acknowledge his feelings for her early on. Of course, he had been stupid then. The saying 'youth is wasted on the young' was right. If he had known some of the things he had known now, Harry was sure things would have worked out differently. If only he could go back to that time. There was a reason why that was his favorite picture aside from Hermione being there. It also showed a time where no war was looming over their heads and that the only thing worrying Harry was surviving through a tournament instead of the threat of Voldemort taking over Britain like in his Fifth Year and beyond.
He placed his glasses on the desk next to his bed and performed a bit of wandless magic to turn off the lights. Sighing, Harry hugged the picture close to his chest.
It was time.
Harry relaxed as he made himself comfortable on his bed and closed his eyes; hoping that the next image he sees when he opened his eyes was Hermione.
Harry's eyes bolted open as he frantically searched the room for what was the cause of his disturbance. He groaned; his muscles were stiff from whatever amount of rest he had. The world was blurry and Harry began to reach out to his right for his glasses but stopped when he felt the familiar pair feeling of his eyewear placed on him by some unknown force.
He blinked a few times, his eyesight adjusting to the corrective lenses. Staring straight ahead was a familiar face of a certain bushy-haired witch. Her nose was scrunched up as she frowned. If Harry was honest with himself, he couldn't help but find the action cute.
"Honestly Harry, falling asleep in the common room…" Her familiar lecturing tone was there, and Harry couldn't help but smile. He looked around to see where he was and noticed that he was in the Gryffindor Common Room; a place he hadn't been for decades. The fire in front of him was slowly dwindling down giving off very little light and warmth, but outside; the early morning sun was rising as it peeked shyly from the horizon. He felt his arm being tugged as she pulled him forward, forcing him to stand up. "You're an open target for the twins' pranks! Be grateful they never wake up this early!"
Suddenly becoming aware of what was happening; Harry stared blankly into his best friend's chocolate brown orbs.
"Harry?" She asked as she met his gaze, her tone questioning and unsure.
With a small smile, and his emerald eyes sparkling in pure joy, Harry breathlessly whispered, "Hermione." Then, Harry quickly wrapped his arms around Hermione's small frame and hugged her close.
"Harry!" Hermione shrieked in surprise, but nonetheless accepted the hug. She chuckled as she patted her friend's back affectionately, "Really Harry, it's as if you hadn't seen me in years rather than last night."
She had no idea. Harry missed her for years. He would always feel a deep ache in his heart that grew and grew after her death. It was the reason why the rift in his heart became wider and bottomless, holding little care but the small family he had. Although Harry allowed himself to show love for those close to him, their love would never reach him and he would never muster up the energy to enjoy the happiness that surrounded him without her. She was everything to him. Hermione was part of his life, and when he lost her, there was a void that would never close. He lost his other half, and now it was here again.
Hermione looked even more beautiful than he could remember. Her hair was still bushy and nearly untamable, unlike how her hair would be in later years when it would become as soft as silk and flowed down in wavy curls. Her eyes still gleamed with the excitement of intellectual pursuit and innocence; there was none of the hardened gaze she adopted shortly after the war. This was the Hermione he had fallen for but never realized until it was too late.
Harry had no idea what was going on though. He had fallen asleep, willing his magic to finally give him peace and let him continue on to the next great adventure. He had wished to see Hermione again, but never before his wildest dreams would he be seeing her like this. A thousand and one theories could be made, but there was no doubt in his mind that this was not a dream. Her touch and reaction were too real. There wasn't the surreal feeling he would have when he dreamt, this was real. Had he somehow gone back to the past? It was plausible, but Harry wasn't sure. However, if he had, then what were his options? Was this a mistake and he had to find a way to get back? Or was this a godsend that the fates finally allowed him to have a chance at happiness? Time travelling to change events was frowned upon, but…the temptation was so great. What should he do?
"Harry? Anything wrong? You're lost in thought, and seeing you think…is a little disturbing." Hermione quipped jokingly with a slight smile.
Harry grinned. His decision was an easy one. For once, he will think for himself. He will try and make the most of this second chance. This time, Harry was going to follow his heart. Ethics and morals be damned, "Nothing. Nothing is wrong. Everything is as it should be."
He leaned forward, planting a firm yet tender kiss on Hermione's lips.

Climate Change Threatens Coffee Production
According to a new report, climate change threatens coffee production. Not just at some far-off date in the future. This is happening now.
According to a new report, climate change threatens coffee production. Not just at some far-off date in the future. This is happening now.
A chilling study has found that climate change could kill more than 500,000 adults in 2050 around the globe.
Is lettuce worse than bacon? Let's look at the math.
Vegetarians are not killing the planet, and a Carnegie Mellon press release suggesting that they are gets it wrong.
What are the biggest threats posed by the amount of food we waste? Decreasing landfill space? Hunger? Water and energy waste? Yes, all of these are important considerations. But another one we tend to overlook: food waste is a cause of global warming.
Climate change and wine production are so delicately intertwined. What is the future of the wine industry in a warming world?
Okay, hipsters, you got us. Here's something we didn't expect to see in your fancy craft cocktails: really expensive environmentally irresponsible artisanal ice.
We all know how to eat less and why it's better for our health. It's as simple as not taking another bite of cake. Or twenty. But even though we know how to eat less, we don't often do it, especially this time of year when sweets and treats abound. But eating less is not just an issue about our preserving our waistline and reducing our risks of becoming obese or developing diabetes. It may also help reduce our impact on climate change and food waste.
If you're not concerned about climate change, you're not well enough informed. Part of the reason its impact can be hard to understand is because modern humans have never faced a threat like this before.
Could climate education help kids make food choices that are healthier for them and for the planet?
Think letting that banana rot is no big deal? New stats on wasting food will have you rethinking wasting even a crumb of bread. Seriously.
Beef is contributing more to global warming than poultry, pork, eggs or dairy, finds a study published in the current issue of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Vermont boldly goes where no state has gone before, and food industry moguls mobilize to resist transparency. The USDA gets something right, surprising local food enthusiasts everywhere; and Katie Couric's new documentary cheeses off the food industry's obesity profiteers. Meanwhile industrial ag causes problems for bees, food eaters, and the whole planet actually. What else is new in the world of food? Glad you asked!

Jump out at them
You decide to jump out at them. They stop in the middle of the road and look at you.
"Who are you?" one of them with straggly brown hair says.
"Me?" you say.
"Yes, you," Straggly says.
"I'm someone in need of a lift to a town called Crown," you answer, not wanting to give out too many details.
"Ah, Crown. Well, we're passing by there. Would you like to hitch a ride with us, then?" Straggly says.
You nod, then a question drifts across your mind.
"Can I ask a question?" you say as you're climbing onto their cart.
"Yeah, ask away," the one with the bad breath and black hair says, sitting beside you. Straggly's out the front, trying to get the horses into motion.
"Are you bandits?"
They burst out in laughter. "Bandits?" Straggly wheezes, laughing. "No!"
"We're fishermen," Bad Breath says, waving towards the back of the cart. "That's not my breath you're smelling, that's the fish."
You turn scarlet. "Right. It was just the conversation that I heard before..."
"Ah, yes. That. We were talking about surprising people with our catch, were we not?" Bad Breath, or Not-So-Bad Breath says to Straggly.
"Yeah, that was right. We always surprise people with the amount and quality of our fish. If we didn't, then we'd be out of business, because there's plenty of people out there with a consistent amount of fish able to be sold, and we're the surprisers." Straggly flicks a grin into the back of the cart. "Bandits, no!"
