Harry Potter and the Last Terrible Vision by DeanaZ
Summary: This is my take on what might happen in book seven. My take comes with a twist. Harry gets help from an unlikely mentor. She is both a Slytherin and a Malfoy! I have extended this chapter in order to develop her character as requested by the Mods. I wanted to share my thoughts on what might have happened to Lily's parents. Why were they dead? I needed to edit the warnings because chapters nine and ten are about the war and a major character dies. I'm sorry if I have caused any confusion.

Percy has returned home and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley could not be happier. Unfortunately, they are the only ones in the family that are overjoyed. Unfortunately for Percy, his siblings are not quite as receptive, especially Ron. How does one make a child understand a parent’s feelings for a child? Perhaps, Professor Albright has the answer.
I wish to thank Pheonixflame for beta reading this chapter. Her undying support has made it possible for me to get my story up on this site.
4. Chapter 4 Under Their Noses by DeanaZ [ - ] (4008 words)
Harry gets an unusual surprise for Christmas. The only problem is he doesn’t know how to get rid of it. Luckily he has a mentor, who just so happens to have a specialty in destroying these kinds of surprises. I wish to thank HarryKissedGinny for all of the time and talent she put into beta reading my story. Her generosity means the world to me.
5. Chapter 5 The Nightmare by DeanaZ [ - ] (4390 words)
What may appear like innocent fluff on the outside, may be in reality, a symptom of something much more terrifying and evil. Unfortunately for Harry and Ginny, this statement reflects a horrifying truth. Ginny’s behavior is becoming a growing concern for the trio, with Harry on the receiving end of its wrath. Will the trio ever uncover the reason behind Ginny’s irrational and sometimes violent behavior? If they can, they had better do it soon. The war is coming.
Some additional notes I would like to add. First, I wish to apologize for a pronoun mix-up that I made when thanking Harry_Kissed_Ginny. I said she when I should have said he. HE is a wonderful beta and his work on chapter four is the reason why it is up there now. Second, I wish to thank Thegirllikeme, for all of her beta work on this chapter. Please refer to the Recommend a Beta section of the Beta forums for additional comments.
6. Chapter 6 The Missing Links by DeanaZ [ - ] (8917 words)
The hunt for the Horcruxes is in full swing. Professor Albright and the trio know that time is running out. The war will be here in no time and there’s no time to waste. Ginny’s behavior grows more and more erratic, and the professor and the trio can’t figure out why. Ginny is becoming colder and more distant from her friends and family. Professor Albright knows he has a hold on her, but can’t figure out how. Will the professor and the trio find out in time? Will Harry and Ginny ever get back together? They had better! Harry’s very existence depends on it.
I would like to thank one of the greatest beta readers I have ever had. Without Thegirllikeme, this chapter would have been a disaster. She helped me to see the importance of sticking to my guns.
7. Chapter 7 Harry Scores Again by DeanaZ [ - ] (7670 words)
The trio has successfully destroyed two more Horcruxes, thanks to Professor Albright’s assistance. Everything should be wonderful, but, as usual, it’s not. Professor Albright knows that something needs to be done to help Ginny with her “problem”. She calls upon the trio for a little brainstorming session. When they figure out what is causing Ginny to behave so terribly, it is Harry who winds up sitting in the hot seat. So the debate continues. Is it Harry that looks for trouble, or does trouble manage to always find Harry?
Once again, I must thank my beta reader Thegirllikeme for all of her hard work and dedication to “the cause”. I highly recommend her services, but only after she’s finished beta reading my story.
8. Chapter 8 Beyond the Veil by DeanaZ [ - ] (8965 words)
Hermione gives everyone a math lesson with a calendar, fandom cliché plays on a statement that JK Rowling had said, about a character maybe getting a reprieve, and Professor Albright finally reveals to Harry where she’s been keeping herself all these years. Take a step beyond the veil and find out why Harry is confused, frightened, and happier than he could have ever imagined.
Once again, I would like to take this opportunity to thank my faithful beta reader, Thegirllikeme.
9. Chapter 9 The Weapon by DeanaZ [ - ] (7212 words)
There are many ways to fight evil. The greatest and most clever way to fight it may not necessarily require a fancy weapon or newfound spell. Perhaps, the only way to fight evil is to rely on the one proven method known by witches and wizards for millenniums. It is simply the old magic. In the meantime, sit back and enjoy as you get a close up view of Professor Albright’s pride and joy, better known as --The Weapon.
Thank you to Thegirllikeme and her beta mentor Lindsay for helping get this chapter right.
10. Chapter 10 The Professor's Dearest Secret by DeanaZ [ - ] (4731 words)
The war is over. Harry is victorious, but his celebration has been drastically cut short due to the Percy’s demise-- until Professor Albright returns to the Weasley camp. It is at this moment that we learn about a mother’s love”and her sacrifice. Telekinetics have a very dear gift. Unfortunately, they are given only one chance to share it. We also find out that the biggest secret that the professor has been keeping from Harry wasn’t The Weapon after all. It was something far more precious. There is some toying around with canon that might seem questionable, but it helps with the twist.
It is here where I have incorporated the laws of Mendelian genetics, information from the Harry Potter Lexicon on Squibs, and an article on wizarding genetics by Shinelikestars, from Sugarquill.net. More on this twist will be explained in detail in the next and final chapter. Be patient. There is a plausible explanation. Thank you to my beta readers, Thegirllikeme, and RonxHermione, for all of their hard work and dedication to this project.
11. Chapter 11Letters and Sermons by DeanaZ [ - ] (8192 words)
Get ready for a lesson in genetics. Harry learns how it was possible for his Muggleborn mother to be a witch, he receives some disappointing news, and he learns the most valuable lesson of all. In spite of what tragedy life brings you, life still goes on. Family is most important when pain and sorrow haunt your very existence. For family is love, and we all know by now what love is. It is magic. All we have to do is believe…
I took some information from articles I found on the Harry Potter Lexicon and an article written for Sugarquill.net. This is the information I used to support my theory on how a Squib and telekinetic is born, and how a witch or wizard could have Muggle parents. I want to thank again, my beta readers: Pheonixflame, Harry_Kissed_Ginny, Thegirllikeme and RonxHermione for all of their outstanding love, support and diligent work on this project. They are the reason all of you had the opportunity to read my story.
