Chapter one
What was and what could have been
It was late; Harry Potter woke up for no apparent reason. He had had that dream again, the one about his old school friend Hermione. She said, "I love you Harry". This had happened once before in their 7th year at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He had chosen to ignore this because he thought she couldn't be serious. He got out of bed carefully trying not to disturb his wife Cho who was lying next to him.
He went downstairs and sat in his favorite chair in his living room. It was over stuffed and very comfortable. To help him think he pulled out the leather bound photo album which his friend Hagrid had given him after his first year at Hogwarts. This album had pictures of his parents in them who had died when Harry was just a baby. As usual they smiled and waved at him because these were not regular pictures these were wizard pictures.
Harry got himself a cup of hot chocolate and started thinking. Was he meant to be with Hermione Granger? Obviously she wanted to be with him. She had never married even though Ron Weasley had proposed three times.
Harry was a successful auror now along with Hermione. He saw her every day and he could tell she was still in love with him.
"But no" Harry thought, "I am not meant to be with her I am married to Cho and we are happy".
Was Harry supposed to marry Cho or was he just being selfish when he told Hermione that he didn't love her. Maybe he did. At this moment he lost his concentration and spilled his hot chocolate all over the ground.
"This will have to wait until morning" he said. He turned off the lights and went to bed.
