Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, even if I wish I could

The Roads Not Traveled

If you ask me if I'm happy, I'll say yes in a heartbeat. However even I wonder if my life could have been different. I'm sure it could have been if I'd wanted it to be. I just couldn't't take that leap of faith. I am deathly afraid of rejection, so I've always stuck to the expected path. Truth be told, I even have a list of people I might have head a future with.


Harry:

He was my first true friend and he still is my best friend. I'm not sure if he knows I was ever in love with him but at age eleven he was so cute and sweet. Though he's not so cute anymore, Harry can still be the sweetest guy around.


Malfoy:

Right after the war I went through a bad boy phase. Draco was the obvious choice. It never went past one ride on his motorcycle but that was enough for me. Motorcycles are almost as bad as broomsticks. Draco has moved on from that phase too. He's also recovered from his temporary insanity.


George:

Two years after Fred's death I was in the store and Great Aunt Muriel popped in. She was so cold and denounced everything it had meant to be a Weasley twin. She cruelly told him that she hoped that he was happy making fun of life while George was six feet under. She didn't even realize that George was alive and that Fred had died. I quickly shooed her out of the shop and closed up for George while he went up to his apartment. I learned more about him that night than anybody but Fred knew. We fell asleep huddle next to the fire and we've shared a special friendship ever since. Not best friends like me and Harry, not girlfriends like me and Ginny, but close friends nonetheless.


Blaise:

Zabini might be the best dancer I've ever met. He says the same thing about when he sees me at the Ministry. He usually adds that I need a shot of fire whiskey to loosen me up first. We never did go out but I saw him at Ginny's Club ever so often. He even took me home the night Draco hexed me. It was really nice of him to pick me over his best friend. Crabbe and Goyle were already taking him to St. Mungo's Department of Insanity. I sometimes wonder if I was really at fault for him going crazy.


Neville:

I never really had a shot with him. I wasn't one of his devoted fangirls after the war. Neville was actually kinda cute in a dorky way. The confidence he gained in his seventh year helped him gain the notice of almost every girl around our age. Neville is still a good friend of the family, just as he's always been.


Ron:

My husband, my friend and the father of my children. I love him more than anything and he loves me. We really are good for one another. We no longer have fights because now we have marital spats. I even think a little disagreement is good every now and then. He is a wonderful father to my beautiful children and I am fortunate that he is mine.


If you ask me if I'm happy, I'll say yes in a heartbeat and mean it every single time.
