After a long afternoon of playing quidditch with Ron and Ginny, they all sat down for dinner which was a rather quiet affair. They settled in the living room and spent the rest of the evening chatting. An owl came to the open window and Harry greeted Pig with a sweet hello. He traded the owl treats for the letters it carried.

“Looks like they are letters from Hermione.” Harry said while passing one to Ginny. Ron stood up and snatched his letter out of Harry’s hand and hastily made an excuse as he ran upstairs with the letter. Harry and Ginny burst out laughing at his antics. “Geez do you think they will finally get a clue?”

“Well in my experience in can take boys quite awhile to get a clue.” Ginny’s tone of voice was almost accusatory. Harry absentmindedly nodded. “I’m going to go upstairs and read this and reply, then I am probably off to bed.” She stood and yawned as she said this.

“I should do that too. Goodnight, Gin!” Harry followed her up the stairs and went to his room.

“Goodnight, Harry.” She said to his retreating form, thinking to herself, ‘Since when does he call me Gin?’

‘Harry,

Ron told me you were at the Burrow already! I am so glad that Professor Dumbledore let you leave your aunt and uncle’s so soon. I will be joining you guys in 2 days! Can’t wait to tell you all about my summer.

Love,
Hermione’

Harry penned a quick response and put it to the side for Hedwig to take with Ginny or Ron’s if they wanted. As he crawled into bed he just realized how tired he truly was. His mind wandered back to the red head across the hall as he drifted off to sleep.

Harry recognized where he was immediately. He was in the graveyard where Voldemort was reborn and Cedric had died. He started walking towards the cauldron that was placed in front of Tom Riddle Sr’s grave. Out of the cauldron came the ghostly figure of Sirius Black.

“It is all your fault I am dead Harry.”

Next came Cedric Diggory saying the same sentence. Then his mother and his father. Harry was brought to his knees by the grief and guilt. He felt a warmth spread over him as someone wrapped him up in their arms.

“Don’t listen to them Harry, this is just a cruel dream.” It was Ginny. “I am right here, Harry.”

“You have forgotten us, Harry. You no longer remember us for you are blinded by your love.” His mother stepped forward saying these words angrily. Ginny didn’t know what she meant by Harry’s love blinding him. Who did he love like that? But she knew they couldn’t stay here. She held him close and shut her eyes willing for a new dream to take over.

“It is all gone Harry, they are gone. And you know that wasn’t real. Open your eyes, Harry.” Ginny herself looked around and was a tad confused. They were in some sort of bedroom. It was decorated beautifully with a huge bed. Harry lifted his head and also looked around.

“Where are we?” Harry asked. Ginny shrugged as she continued to look around. Just then they heard tiny footsteps and loud voices coming close.

“Mum! James broke my toy…again!” The bedroom door burst open and a young girl about 6 came rushing in. She had red hair and green eyes. Behind her was an exasperated boy about 10 years old. He had black hair and brown eyes. Then behind him was a small boy about 9 years old, he had black hair and green eyes. He was the spitting image of Harry. And the others looked related but like a mix of Harry and Ginny.

“Woah Dad, are you okay? You guys look startled.” The younger boy said concerned.

“Daddy! Do something, James is being mean to me!” The young girl launched herself at Harry. His eyes went wide and Ginny stifled a laugh.

“James, what have we told you about messing with your sister?” Ginny said, it just came out of her mouth like she knew exactly what to say.

“Then tell her to stop touching my quidditch stuff! She isn’t big enough.” The older boy whined.

“Lily? Were you trying to ride your brother’s new broom again?” Harry said, looking at the young girl. She became shy and snuggled into her dad.

“I did but I never get to play! I won’t fall off I promise.” Harry looked at her softly.

“Your mother used to do the exact same thing to her brothers. I know it sucks but you just aren’t big enough for a big kid broom. How about we look at the quidditch store and see if they have one better suited for you now?” Harry hugged her tightly. “Now go on and play you lot, I need to speak to your mother.” The kids all grumbled a ‘yes dad’ and left the room.

“What the bloody hell was that?!” Ginny exclaimed.

“I have no idea, but I just somehow knew who they were and what to do. Did you feel that way too?” Harry asked. Ginny nodded. She finally got up and looked at the pictures strewn about the room on the walls. They all showed the five of them as a happy family. There was even one of Harry, Ginny, Hermione and Ron. It looked to be a photo taken at Hermione’s wedding as she was in a beautiful white dress. But Ginny looked very slightly pregnant in the photo. She felt Harry step up behind her.

“Say…you don’t think Hermione and Ron are married in this dream, do you?” He pointed to his and Ron’s dress robes and the slight difference in them.
Ginny giggled. “Of course they would finally get it. So what do you think all of this is?” She said.

“Looks like it is your dream, and a much better one than mine. So why don’t we just go explore it for a bit?” Harry reached out to grab her hand and pulled her towards the door. Just then Ginny caught a glimpse of them in the mirror above the wardrobe. She gasped and it caused Harry to stop in his tracks and see what she saw.

There in the mirror stood two older versions of themselves. Ginny was as beautiful as ever, but you could see some wrinkles and smile lines painted on her face to show she had aged. And Harry still had his jet black messy hair, albeit maybe some of it was a tad gray. He had clear signs of living a stressful youth. But both looked healthy and happy.

“Woah, glad to see we still look good after all these years.” She said chuckling.

“I am not surprised, you’ve always been beautiful.” Harry said softly, then he grabbed her hand again and pulled her along before she could respond to what he said. They walked down the long hallway and saw several rooms. One with a sign that said “Lily’s room”, another that said “Jame’s room”. The last one caught Harry’s eye as it read, “Albus’ room”. They heard three children giggling downstairs so they rushed down the steps and saw the three kids running around what appeared to be the living room. Ginny glanced at the clock and saw it looked to be about lunch time.

“Who wants some lunch?” Ginny asked as she came down the last few steps behind Harry. All three kids hollered their agreement to lunch. Ginny left Harry with the kids and wandered about to look for the kitchen. On her way she noticed plenty more pictures on the walls. Some were of the whole family. There was one that excited her immensely of her on a broomstick wearing a Holyhead Harpies uniform as they one the world cup. She finally found the huge kitchen but gasped as she looked outside the backdoor to find a huge yard complete with a half sized quidditch pitch.

Ginny couldn’t let herself get caught up in these little details. She examined the ingredients she had in the kitchen and whipped up some sandwiches and a light potato soup.

“Time to eat!” She hollered. A mere seconds later she heard what sounded like a pack of hippogriffs running through the house. The kids all took seats around the table and Harry soon followed. Once they all sat down the kids said thank you to Ginny for lunch and dug in.

As Harry started to dig into his food, there was a loud knocking throughout the house. The kids and Ginny did not seem to notice but it was followed by a loud voice, “Harry! Mate, wake up!” It was Ron. Next thing he knew he was opening his eyes to see his best mate standing in his room with a letter in his face.

“Hey mate, sorry to wake you. I was just hoping I could borrow Hedwig to respond to Hermione.” Harry yawned and rubbed his eyes, he was grumpy now that Ron had interrupted the best dream.

“Yeah, fine. But don’t send her out yet. I want to make sure Ginny can send a letter too if she wants to.” Ron nodded and left his sealed letter near Hedwig and quickly left muttering his sorry for waking him.
