Story Line: What were Ron and Hermione doing while Harry was at the Dursely's? What were they thinking about while they were hunting for Horcruxes with Harry? What was Ginny thinking through it all? The picks up where Half-Blood Prince left off and includes what I think happened during the 19 years between the final chapter and the epilogue.

I know the whole 19 years thing has been done a million and one times, but hopefully mine will be different! I got the inspiration for this story after reading "Hermione, Ginny and the Half-Blood Prince" by Mokimik. It's brilliant so if you haven't read it check it out!!

Read the first chapter and let me know if I should continue please!!

Ch Ch.1 On the Hogwarts Express

Stepping on the Hogwarts Express to go back to the Dursley's was never something Harry had relished in doing for the past six years. He always felt so alive during the school year at Hogwarts despite the fact that he spent most of his time there nearly dying or worrying about dying. He always had friends and people to count on though, so that somehow made everything bearable. Those feelings always changed the minute he stepped onto the train to go "home". It always felt like his life was ending, only to be rejuvenated each fall as he was on the train going back to Hogwarts. This year though, his life might really be over by the time autumn rolled around. He shook his head in an effort to shake those thoughts out of his head. He didn't want to face that unnerving reality just yet. He just wanted to enjoy the last day of peace he had with Ron and Hermione. Speaking of whom, they were being uncharacteristically quiet. He looked to either side of him and found Hermione on his right and Ron on his left both as lost in thought as he was.

Hermione was completely lost in her own world full of books and school and planning. 'Ok what will we need? What do you take with you on a trip that will last for an unknown amount of time during which you will be hunting down the darkest, most evil wizard in the history of the wizarding world? We won't be able to fit everything we will need in one knapsack. I suppose we will all have our own which will help. Oh! I could deepen mine to hold more things in case Harry and Ron forget theirs! Yes, that's it. Now, what books will we need? Defense Against the Dark Arts books for sure and a Standard Book of Spells couldn't hurt either……come to think of it, most of the books from our first year may be helpful. I'll have to talk to Harry about it….'

Ron was trying to wrap his mind around the situation. After six years of trying to avoid You-Know-Who at all costs, they were finally going to finish him off. Or he would finish them off. Either way someone was going to finish someone else off. Was he nervous? Um yeah. He wasn't crazy. But he knew that it had to be done and he would never forgive himself if he let his two best friends go off and risk their lives for the greater good of the wizarding world while he stayed at Hogwarts. Would his mum and dad like this? Bloody no. That's why he wouldn't tell them exactly what they were doing. He would figure something out. Hermione was probably figuring all this out at that very moment. Speaking of Hermione……

The three best friends snapped to the present reality and who was right in front of them. They had subconsciously made their way back to the same compartment they had been in for the past few years. There, waiting in front of the door, were Neville, Luna, and to Harry's great surprise (and delight), Ginny. The six friends didn't exchange any words. Neville simply slid the door open and the six of them walked through the doorway one by one, Ron sliding the door closed behind them.
