Author's Note: Okay, so I've recently started re-reading the Harry Potter series. . . . . .and it got me in the mood to write a Harry Potter fanfiction. :D This one will be about Harry and Ginny, and Ron and Hermione, how they got to where they were 19 years later. :) Takes place 18 years before the epilogue. It's a year after the events of the seventh book.
Chapter 1
A Love Renewed
It took only weeks after the war for Harry and Ginny to get back together. It was as if they had never broken up. As if they hadn't just fought a war and been inches from death. It took no time for them to grow back together, or become comfortable with each other. They were meant to be. They were in love. And when you're in love, time is but an occurrence.
The same can be said for Hermione and Ron. Two halves, finally united.
In the years that followed the war, there were many weddings and many celebrations. There were still days of sadness, but when those days came, the four friends-now family-would meet together, and talk over things.
Harry and Ginny's story to how they came to be married is the bumpiest of the two duos. Whilst Ron and Hermione were married a mere four years after the war, it took Harry and Ginny seven long years. It wasn't for lack of commitment, or lack of love, no, those were plentiful.
It was lack of happiness. It was too painful for Harry to find himself so deep in euphoria, when so many were still hurting from the war. Ginny still had problems foreseeing a future, her vision too clouded with pessimistic views.
Still, both managed to rid themselves of these problems, and come together in holy matrimony. They bore three children after the marriage, two boys and a girl. Beautiful children who inherited only the best traits from their parents.
But we have not arrived to that portion of the story. For now, we must make do with a year after the war.
Let me catch you up a bit.
Ron and Hermione are of course together, and are looking at returning to Hogwarts for their seventh and final year. Harry and Ginny are thinking of doing the same, but aren't quite as sure as Ron and Hermione.
With the Burrow destroyed, a few fellow witches and wizards, with the likes of Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick, the Weasley's and Harry and Hermione are happily installed in the newly restored Shrieking Shack. With it's plenty of rooms, there is more than enough space for Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, George and Angelina, Bill and Fleur, and of course Harry and Ginny and Hermione and Ron.
Seeing as the Shack is not far from Hogwarts at all, the prospect of returning is ever more viable and tempting.
But now we must start the story.
It was a day like any other. Unless you're Harry Potter, of course.
