A/N: I just
want to say: This story will involve some romance between Harry/Ginny and Ron/Hermione.
This story starts in the future. To be exact in the year 2006, which means that
Harry/Hermione/Ron are 26 and Ginny, is 25.
Chapter 1: 18.November 2006
It was a wonderful morning in little Ottery St. Catchpole. Ron Weasley
had just prepared breakfast for himself and his wonderful wife Four years ago
he had married Hermione Granger, his long- time crush. Ever since then, he had
the feeling that he was the happiest man. Suddenly he heard a horrible scream,
which went right through him. "Noooo, help!! Ron, please help me."
Ron rushed upstairs. When he reached the door, he saw his sobbing wife.
"Another nightmare?" he asked concerned. Folding her into his strong
arms.
"Ron they get darker." She spoke totally out of breath, "They are awful!
Ron I'm frightened; what do they mean?" Hermione sobbed into Ron's shoulder.
"I don't know," he whispered into her ear. Ron Weasley had had a very
hard time: He was really concerned about the nightmares. When he thought about
it, he realized that the dreams started with Hermione's pregnancy. "We'll
manage them." Ron assured his wife." Do you feel strong enough for Ginny and
Harry's visit?" he asked looking straight into Hermione's bloodshot eyes.
"Yeah. I want to see them. They will help me to forget the nightmares. I want
to see Joshua" she closed her statement.
"Okay, then I think you should get ready. The Potters 'll arrive soon."
He smiled a little smile for her. Ten
minutes later Harry was standing, along with his wife and his little son,
outside of Ron's house. Ringing the bell they were waiting for somebody who
would open the door.
"Coming" Ron, shouted inside. A few seconds later the door opened and
Ron was smiling at the Potters. " Jo," he teased, "come to Uncle Ron."
"Ron stop it." Ginny snapped, „ I don't like giving him nick- names like
that." But when she heard Harry and Ron laughed at her she smiled a little
smile too. "Are you making fun of me?"
"Us?" Harry asked with an innocent smile on his face. "Never Darling!"
At that Ginny burst out laughing and handed the toddler to Ron. " I think you
should learn to handle a baby!" Ginny teased her brother, knowing exactly that
being a daddy still frightened him a bit.
"Will you let us in Ronnie, or should we go home again?" Ginny asked, when
she became aware that they still stood in the doorframe.
"Oh, sorry, where are my manners?" he asked laughing but soon enough he
became a serious face again. "Come in, I just wanted to warn you, Hermione
isn't under best conditions. Just thought you should know." He muttered under
his breath.
'Being not in the best conditions.' seemed a little understated
to Ginny. Hermione looked exhausted, her hair not longer glancing and her eyes
bloodshot from crying. Her hair remembered Ginny at Harry's.
"What's wrong, Hermione?" Ginny asked her sister-in law.
"Nothing," Hermione answered forcing a weak smile.
"Who do you think you can fool with this play?" Harry asked, slightly
annoyed because of Hermione's stubbornness.
"I'll tell you, but don't freak out, okay?" Hermione answered hugging
her nephew tightly. " I have terrible nightmares, but I don't want to talk
about them" she said, her lips trembling.
"What are your dreams about?" Ginny asked as stubborn as Hermione. "And
since when do you have them?"
Ron sighed knowing exactly that he didn't want to come between the
fronts.
"About a women and her child. But I'll not give you more information!"
Hermione almost shouted, so that Joshua started to cry. Hugging him a bit more
Hermione continued. "They are awful and I don't want to speak about them. And I
really don't know when they started!" Hermione finished before she started to sob
again.
Harry carefully observed the situation before he took his son from
Hermione. Then Ron spoke again while he knelt next to Hermione, he hugged her
tightly.
"The nightmares started in September. When we discovered that Hermione's
pregnant." Ron said.
At the last sentence Ginny and Harry's eyes locked both nodding
slightly. Finally Harry raised his voice again. He spoke very quietly but his
voice made sure that he didn't want to hear any contradictions. "We should go
and talk to Dumbledore! He'll know, what we should do." Ron made eye contact with his sister, and
then he looked at his wife and spoke again. "Harry's right. We should go to
Dumbledore." Hermione looked into her husband's eyes and only nodded.
A few hours later they arrived
at Hogwart.
They saw a few teachers and made a little small talk. At last they met
Professor McGonagell. The head of Gryffindor saw in the first seconds that her
best student, she ever had, was under very bad conditions.
"Nice to meet you again" she greeted her former students. "What can we
do for you?" the Professor asked gently.
"Do you think, that we could talk to the headmaster?" Ginny asked
politely while she hugged her son.
"Sure. I'll guide you to his office. Even, I'm sure that Mr. Potter
would find it on his own." she said. Harry blushed at these comment, he knew
perfectly well that he was more often at the headmaster's office then every
other student in his year.
"Hello" their former headmaster greeted them " I believe this is little
Joshua." Professor Dumbledore said when he pointed at the little child in
Ginny's arm.
"Yes Professor, meet my son: Joshua William!" Harry answered obviously
very proud.
"What is the reason of your visit?" the Professor asked searching their
eyes.
"Professor," Ron said "Hermione has nightmares since we discovered her
pregnancy."
"Oh I see your problem." his face looked a little worried. "Since I have
no other idea, I think that maybe you should talk to Professor Trelawney." he
raised his hand when he saw the protest in Hermione's face. " I know she may
not be the best in divination but she may be able to tell you more about your
dreams, Hermione." He looked into the young women's eyes as if he wanted her
permission for his logical next step.
Hermione was still sceptical but eventually agreed that listening to the
Professor, wouldn't hurt too much. "As long as she doesn't see any death
omens." Hermione snapped.
At this comment Professor Dumbelore took a little breeze of red powder
and shot it into the fireplace. In the flames the face of their old Divination
teacher appeared and looked rather puzzled. "How can I help you?" The professor
asked.
"I think you should come down to my office. I-we need your advice." The
headmaster answered. In the same moment the face of the witch faded and soon
was gone.
"If she could really read the future, she would have known about my
problem." Hermione nodded knowingly at the other people in the room. The former
students looked rather annoyed, at these comment. Hermione blushed slightly
under the gaze of her friends. "Okay, we'll see…" she whispered her eyes never
left the floor. "This is my little Gryffindor. " Ron told his wife proudly
while he gave her a warm hug.
Five minutes later they heard a knock on the door. "Come in" the
Professor said politely. The door opened and Professor Trelawney entered the
room. She looked at her former students and seated herself next to the other
Professor. However, before she could say another word or could be asked any
questions, her eyes got wide and she started trembling. Her head started to nod
uncontrollable, but suddenly it stood perfectly still, and her voice had become
a rather low tone. Her eyes fixed at Hermione were narrowed.
"Listen to your dreams. They should be a warning. Rescue me, or the
child is lost."
At the last words Professor Trelawney closed her eyes again and
collapsed into her chair.
"Noooo,"
"Mione, everything will gonna be all right!" Ron told his sobbing wife.
'At least I hope so.' However
Hermione collapsed against Ron's shoulder, she was trembling.
"Mr. Weasley, I believe you should bring your wife to the hospital wing."
the headmaster told his former student. Ron nodded and left the office
immediately, he carried his wife. Harry and Ginny stood up and wanted to follow
their friends, but however the voice of Professor Dumbelore let them stood like
frozen.
"Harry and Ginny, please just a moment." At these, Harry and Ginny sat
back into their chairs although they were slightly uncomfortable and looked
into the worried face of the old man.
