Little introduction to the story:
Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny are all happy. Well, until the accident. Harry, Ron, Ginny and all their kids are on the way to the beach while Hermione is away with work. The car crashes and only some of them survive. This is a story about what would happen when Harry, Hermione and the children have to deal with the loss of their family, friends and love. Can they get through it without splitting up their family any more or will it all end in more of a disaster then before?
Okay, I know, this is pointless. However, I'm just writing to tell you that if this story doesn't go down… Okay? Then I may stop writing, not for forever just long enough to give myself a break and stop rushing things to get them finished or to the good part.
I tried to stop for a little while but I always found myself on word thinking up new ideas and ways to try and intrigue you guys a little more. Anyway back to the point, all I'm saying is that after this… well you probably won't hear off me in a while.
I'm not sure if that is good news or bad news but I know it is going to be difficult but I think all I need is to take a little brake because I think I'm trying a little too hard to impress you and I know that if I keep rushing it around you definitely won't enjoy my writing.
Anyway back to the whole point of this chapter, the story! Hope you enjoy (I've spent a while on this so…) and yeah :)
Harry POV
I smiled slightly to myself when Albus and James came thundering down the stairs and into the kitchen where I was reading todays newspaper, The Daily Prophet, while Ginny and Lilly were baking. The cookies were fresh out of the oven and the smell was purely heaven. Quickly, before the boys reached our large kitchen I slyly took two of the cookies and bit into one of them. I breathed the two of them in ignoring the burning in my throat as the smoking still runny chocolate chips slipped down my throat.
"Hey mom,-" James sang as the door of the kitchen burst open and two eager looking boys fell through the door in hope to get one of the sweet cookies. "Where's Mum?" James asked me. "To the car" I answered.
"Hey dad,-"Albus continued. Looking around the lime green kitchen curiously to where the scent was coming from and when their eyes fell on their younger sister they looked at each other and yelled:
"Bonjour Lilly!" Lilly giggled shyly at the two of them but waved a small hand in response. Shaking their heads they tip toed up to her and whispered in her ear not so quietly. "Where'd mommy put the cookies?" She shook her tiny head making the curly fiery hair shake from one side to the other and make a zipped lips motion with her hands over her mouth.
They both scowled at her but she carried on smiling happily at her two older brothers. James Serious Potter, named after my dad and my god father, was the oldest of them all at 14 but he got along so well with his two younger siblings it was surprising. Albus Severus Potter, named after two headmasters at Hogwarts, was the middle child, aged 11, and also got along with his siblings very well. Albus and James were always together though, forget the age difference, they reminded me of brown haired duplicates of Fred and George. Finally Lilly Luna Potter, she was named after my mum and our great lifelong friend Lune Love-good, was the youngest as she had just turned 7.
James and Albus began their hunt around the kitchen checking all the cupboards and drawers. Good luck with that boys because seconds before you came in your mom took them to the car so when we went to see Ron and Hermione we would have some, I thought smirking. I looked down at the moving pictures on the paper in front of me, still smiling, when I heard the familiar rattle of the keys.
"What're you guys doing?" She asked the wide eyed boys standing on the kitchen counter with all the cupboards doors and drawers open. They shook their heads and sinuously cried "Nothing!" before jumping down and running out the room so fast that they turned into a blur.
"Harry!" Ginny cried. I looked up concerned and found her glaring at me, I quickly widened my green eyes and stuck my bottom lip out in an attempt to guilt my way out of this. "Don't do that face, you know it's not fair… All I needed you to do was watch them" she whined, Lilly stood in the corner giggling. I carried on putting on my best baby seal face and watched in victory as her hardened eyes softened bit by bit.
"You know what they're like… They are carbon copies of Fred and George, it's impossible to keep them out of trouble so I gave up trying" I told her my bottom lip still jutted out childishly. Pain washed through her eyes as I said Fred's name but was instantly replaced by love when I droned out the word 'Impossible.'
Her bell chiming laugh rang through the house and I smiled slight at the sound of it. She laughed slightly and told me, her voice sincere with a hint of mischief behind it "Yep, that's our boys." I smiled warmly at her and muttered "Wonder where they get it from…" She turned around quickly and glared at me but I stood up wrapping my arms around her waist and pressed a light kiss to her lips.
Hers instantly wrapped around my neck as she deepened the kiss slightly. We quickly broke apart to see Albus and Lilly staring at us horror struck looks stained on their pretty little faces. James just stared at us shaking his head but soon snapped out of it and glared at us lightly before clamping his hands together once and exclaiming "Well, seen as the cookies are in the car I assume we're going to Uncle Ron's and Auntie Hermione's house. Can we please Go I can't wait to torment, I mean play with, my ickles cousin Hugo."
We both nodded and headed to the door. Lilly and Albus had run out but we were both stopped when James turned around and asked us in a sickly sweet voice "As much as I love it that you guys are so in love can you please keep the PDA to a PG!" He exaggerated a little on the words 'so' and 'please' but we nodded trying to keep the embarrassing grin off both our faces.
We walked to our sparkling black Lexus car, and Ginny quickly belted Lilly in while the boys got in beside her car seat. Ron's house was not far away, a 5 minuet drive, if the traffic was empty. All through the drive we heard bickering from the back seat:
"You're practically sat on my lap!" James argued.
"No, your big butt is taking up too much room!" Albus countered.
"Lilly! Your car seat takes up too much room!" The both chorused. Lilly's small cheeks blushed a vibrant red and I quickly turned around and shot the boys a look which quickly shut them up.
"Would you rather her be dead and you be comfy or her be alive and you being un-comfy for five minutes" I asked them. They sighed and both muttered "The first one" I ran a hand through my hair and adjusted my glasses slightly before nodded and saying "Exactly"
The car was deathly quiet and I found myself wandering back to when I proposed to Ginny, the love of my life.
I had taken her out on our… 23rd date? And I already had everything ready, to be honest I have had for weeks now but always chickened out at the last minute. We had just walked into a small corner Italian restaurant called 'Mamma's and Co' this was where I had taken her on our first real date. It was kind of cute the main colours of the restaurant were red and it was mostly made out of a mahogany wood.
I grabbed her warm soft hand in my larger rough one and rubbed comforting circles over her knuckles. She looked down at our joint hands then up at my face, she stared into my eyes: brown meeting green then lent of and pressed a small kiss to my cheek.
I turned so I was facing her and looked her up and down, her normally straight flaming red had now been curled into loose curls. Her tanned face had a small amount of blusher on and she was wearing little mascara, eyeliner and lip gloss. That's all she needed. She was wearing a white loose blouse and pale blue denim jeans with green vans to complete her outfit. I don't know how she managed to turn something so simple into something that looked as if it belonged on a model.
She caught me staring and pulled my chin up to her eyes. I smiled at her sheepishly but she just waved me off with a sigh and a smile I kissed the top of her head. A waiter met us at the small bar at the front of the restaurant and escorted us to a table. I pulled out her chair and tucked her in as any gentlemen would then walked to my side shuffling into my chair not so gracefully.
We ordered and then sat in a comforting silence. I was planning to do it when the desserts came so instead of talking I just leant my hand over the table and grabbed hers. She smiled up at me which I returned easily our relationship was so effortless it was as it we were a match made in heaven.
"Hey, did you hear… Ron proposed to Hermione the other week she told me when we met up yesterday" she told me, looking at me pointedly. I raised my eyebrows at her and nodded smiling at her, she's not expected this…
"Yeah, he has been planning to it for a while but kept chickening out… I was the one that brought up the idea, actually." I informed her by the loo of shock on her face she definitely wasn't expecting that.
"Really?" she whispered. I grinned at her and nodded. She stared at the table her face expressionless and thoughtful. We sat in silence until our food came which thankfully wasn't long after.
We finished making small talk every now and again and suddenly she scraped her chair back making a sound relatable to nails on a chalk board and muttered "Just going to the… toilet." I nodded and carefully adjusted everything so it looked natural but it sort of looked to perfect so I messed it all up.
When she came back she raised an eyebrow at the now messy table and I smiled at her. She had applied at little more blusher and lip-gloss while I the bathroom. I stood up and she looked at me confused and expectantly but I shook my head and her curiosity.
I sighed and ran a hand through my black hair before moving so I was standing in front of where she was sat and she turned so she was facing me. Clenching my fists I pull the black velvet box out of my pocket but still left it out of view. I looked at her one last time before I dropped down on to one knee the knee on the floor suddenly realised how cold the floor was and my arms got Goosebumps.
I held out the new opened black box revealing a small diamond ring. It was nothing much just a simple engagement band with the main diamond in the middle and carved into the silver where smaller diamonds, it matched her perfectly. I chanced a look at her face and was shocked by what I saw; she had tears running down her face and one hand covered her now open mouth.
"Ginny Weasly, I learnt a long time ago that I couldn't live without you. I have tried to do this so many times and even had a bet with Ron to see who could propose first, he won. I didn't know how you would react so saved it until the right time more precisely- now. I hope you know by now how much I love you and I also hope you know that I would ever leave for someone else. Ever. You're my best friend, girlfriend and lover… Ginny Weasly will you please become mine forever and… Marry me?" I spoke sincerely and by the look on her face se believed me.
I waited silently and finally, she nodded. Slowly and then she sped up quickly before tears were streaming down her face and she launched herself at me whispering "Yes, yes, yes, yes" over at over again. I smiled to myself and motioned to everyone who had stopped to watch to carry on with their meal.
"We're going!" She declared, love and lust evident in her chocolate eyes. I raised my eyebrows at her and left a £20 and £1o on the table that should cover it. She half dragged me out of the poor restaurant and pulled me into a cab which was going to take us home.
She ran to my door, me in tow and unlocked it with a small smile plastered on her face. She turned around and launched herself at me for the second time this time but it caught me off guard and we fell to the floor her on top of me. She leant down and pressed her soft full lips to my own, Peppermint and Strawberry filled my mouth as are lips danced in sync. I turned my face on an angle and deepened the kiss opening my mouth as she complied with my requests.
I carried her to my room and laid her onto the bed, not once breaking the kiss. One thing led to another and I can safely say that was one of the greatest day of my-
"Harry…!" "HARRY!" "Daddy" I blinked into focus and found myself looking into some deep chocolate brown eyes. My response came out something like "Urghmm" She rolled her eyes and turned around to thank Lilly who had shouted me the last time.
"We're here. Kids go ring the doorbell and tell your uncle Ron to get his butt out here so we can carry all this stuff in" They answered with a bunch of okays and five minutes later a hyper little ginger 11 year old opened the door a wide toothy grin on his face. Hugo Weasly one of the two children Hermione and Ron have.
"Hey, aunt Ginny, Uncle Harry!" He called "Dad will be out in a minuet he is trying to get Rosie's head out of her book and to have some fun which she is seriously lacking!" He informed me when I was about to ask where Ron had got to. "Mum, is away with work in… Scotland?" I nodded and tried to balance the 5 or so trays of cookies and all the drinks to their house.
"James!" I yelled. His familiar messy raven hair peeped around the door frame and I continued "Come and get the rest of the stuff!" He started to protest but I cut him off with a stern look and a simple "Now." He sighed casting a glare to his snickering brother before nodding and heading out to get the other things.
We finally moved everything, might as well of brought the kitchen sink while we were at it, I thought while Ginny complained we didn't have enough things. Surely we did I mean everyone had at least: 2 packets of crisps; 3 bottles of 500ml water; 2 cakes; 2 and a half sandwiches; sausage rolls and a pork pie. God how much more does the women want? I asked myself a small smile on my face.
We all talked for a while while the kids all played on the X-Box bar Lilly and Rose who were drawing in Rose's room listening to pop music. "Can we go yet?" I whined, Ginny slapped me on the back on the head while Ron nodded his head agreeing.
"I know I'm kind of bored now" A whack was heard as Ginny's hand hit Ron's head. "Kids, we're going now! Meet us down stairs in 5 minutes, want you all to use the toilet so we don't have to stop and rose will you please quickly put Lilly's hair in a plait!" Ginny called up.
Yes's were heard from all around the house and I reached for my shoes which were kicked under the middle of the table. Coming back up I hit my head on the side of the wood leaving Ron on the floor crying with laughter however tables turned because when he went to stand up he hit his head on the bottom of a metal handle for a drawer.
I laughed until tears leaked from my eyes and finally we were all ready. We piled into Ron's Mercedes Benz which had a charm put on so that it can seat as many people as you need. Everything was in the boot and the kids were all strapped in, brilliant! I decided I would sit in the back with the kids so I could was cartoon network while Ron and Ginny talked about boring stuff like Jobs, or Money.
The motorway was busy but the weather was divine and I called up to the front "Trust Hermione to go away on a day like this!" I heard Ron chuckle and he quickly agreed.
"I know, this is just her all over. That women..." Another slap was heard and a cry of pain before Ron quickly amended "However, that's why I love her"
Nothing.
We drove in silence apart from the chortles of the kids, and admittedly me, as we watched the invincible cat on the screen get hurt in every way possible without dying.
A gasp was heard up front and I tried to look out of the tinted windows but I could see nothing but the blinding sun.
With a cry something slammed into the car and shouts were heard as the car rolled over sideways. I heard glass smash and looked over to the kids to see they all had panic stricken looks on their faces as the car continued to tip us upside down and throw us all around.
The window by my head smashed and I heard a blood curdling cry of pain from the front and then it all went silent. Nothing could be heard. I looked around to see the children hanging in painful positions but they were all wide awake and staring at me wide eyed tears streaming down all their faces.
I tried to sile at the reassuringly but it must have looked bad because the continued to look around wildly for help. That's all I knew because as the car flipped the final time my head hit the concrete with an ear piercing crack and everything went black. My focus was hazed and everything was spinning, I tried to move but I couldn't I tried to speak but I couldn't.
The last conscious though I had was: I love you all!
