Chapter 1

It had been three years since the final battle and things in the wizarding world were finally getting back to normal…well as normal as witches and wizards could be. Everyone went on about their everyday lives as though he who must not be named had never existed, as though Harry Potter had never existed. Oh sure he was talked about in the History of Magic class and Defense Against the Dark Arts, but to most people the name no longer meant anything. But there were those who would always remember the boy who lived, who had spent countless hours, days, and even weeks looking for their friend. Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger had never given up hope that Harry had survived, but with the passing year they began to move on with their lives…

"I still can't believe Ron finally asked Hermione to marry him. I was beginning to think he was to be a bachelor his whole life." Ginny said with a smile.

"Well, Step down Ginny we don't want that dress to be all wrinkled for the wedding, now do we?" Mrs. Weasley replied.

As the wedding day drew closer a black cloud engulfed the burrow. With each passing day the Weasley twins pressured Ron to hurry up and pick his best man.

"Ron, your wedding is only a week away, now will you tell George that I'm your best man so he'll button up!" Fred cried as he tossed a piece of bacon at George.

"No, he can't do that because I'm his best man" George replied.

"Why don't you two leave him alone!" Mrs. Weasley said as Ron left the room.

"Ron are you alright?" Hermione asked.

"Yeah, I just don't know what to do…that's all." He replied. With a heavy sigh he added "Do you think he's dead?"

"No, never" Hermione cried throwing her arms around him. "Harry was always stronger than that."

"Yeah but what if…"

"Don't do this, we'll find him." Hermione said has hot tears poured down her cheeks.

When the wedding day arrived everything was perfect. The sun was shining, birds were singing, and the Weasley garden was packed with wedding guests. Ron stood at the gate with Mr. Weasley and greeted the guests as they arrived. The twins were seating people and Ginny and Mrs. Weasley were helping Hermione get ready.

As everyone took their seats the musicians began to play. Ron took deep breaths as each minute passed then he heard it, it started out faint but began to get louder. It was at this moment that he got his first glimpse of Hermione. Her dress was a white lace strapless wonderment. Ron's heart began to beat faster as the bridal march continued to play. He took Hermione's hand and little tear drops began to form at the corners of his eyes.

Once the vows were exchanged the Minister announced "Ladies and Gentlemen I give you Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Weasley."

Everyone clapped as they made their way down the aisle. Mrs. Weasley began to cry as Ron and Hermione danced as man and wife for the first time.

As the night drew to an end and the guests were leaving Ginny thought she caught a glimpse of a very familiar face, but it was gone just as quick as it had come. Chalking it up as the effects of too much to drink Ginny retired for the night.

The next morning Ginny awoke to the smell of fresh coffee. Throwing on a robe she descended the stairs and found Mrs. Weasley in tears.

"What's wrong Mum?" she asked.

"All my children are leaving me." She cried. Ginny laughed as she began to fill her plate.

Finishing her breakfast Ginny decided to go and take a shower. As she bathed her mind began to drift to the night before. Had she really imagined the Harry was there? After all he had been gone three years. What could make him come back now, just when she was getting over him? Returning to her room Ginny was surprised to find a piece of parchment on her pillow.

Ginny,

Hermione and I are going to look at houses. We will meet you at the Three Broomsticks at 12.

Ron

Ginny laughed at herself. How could I forget our lunch date!

Why am I not surprised their late? Ginny thought as she played with her napkin. She smiled as Ron and Hermione entered, arguing as usual.

"Just be quiet Ron!" Hermione cried. "Ginny sorry we're late."

"It's no problem" Ginny replied. "In fact I …" she began but stopped as she saw what appeared to be Harry. But then with a blink of an eye it was gone.

"What are you looking at?" Ron asked scanning the room.

"Nothing, just my imagination again. Did you find any houses?"

"Oh yes" Hermione cried as she began to tell Ginny in detail the house they were to buy.

Ginny's mind began to race as she lay in bed that night. I must be losing my mind. She thought. She couldn't stop thinking about what she had seen at the wedding and the Three Broomsticks. He's back! She thought as sleep over took her.
