Stranded love

Harry and Ginny have lost their way. Hermione and Ron cast a spell to show them how great they are together and how happy they once were

Chapter 1: the overturned fight

"Get out!" snapped Ginny "I can't even look at you" she muttered. Harry turned his back to leave. He stopped cold. Albus and Jack were looking at him. Jack was crying

Harry smiled weakly at them and they trailed behind him. Jack, clutching his father's arm

"Listen kids, don't worry" he told them, making some tea

He handed them, two cups of hot cocoa "here"

"Dad?" Albus asked "what happened?"

Harry sighted "you can't understand Al, you shouldn't even try, and it's up to me and mummy to do it"

They watched Ginny enter the kitchen. They remained quiet. James, Lily and Paul at her tow

"I'm going to my mother's" said Ginny "I need time to think"

Harry was about to argue, but decided it wasn't worth it

"Can I go with you?" asked James, apparently he didn't want to stay at home. There was too much tension in the air

Ginny nodded. She stepped inside the chimney, holding flu powders.

Harry watched as she and James disappeared. The rest of the children were looking at Harry with a puzzled look. He stood up and headed to the bedroom. Hannah was sleeping soundly, Harry felt his heart melt. Why hadn't Ginny taken the baby with her? Had she forgotten about her on propose? Harry hoped not

"Ginny?" Hermione asked when her sister in law landed on the kitchen floor gracefully. James stumbled out

She didn't speak. Neither did James. He just went looking for Rose and Hugo. Hermione could see that Ginny's eyes were puffy

"What happened?" she asked, sitting on the kitchen table "where is Harry?"

"We had a fight" Ginny said coldly. "Again"

"Why?" Hermione asked

"Because of his …" Ginny stopped. "I forgot the baby" she said suddenly. Hermione's face froze

"I was so mad…" she was now sobbing, "that I left her on the crib"

"I spouse Harry is there?" Hermione asked. Ginny nodded. She gasped

Harry was sitting on the bed staring at an old scrapbook. His parents were smiling at him. Sirius, Lupin, baby James, Al…

He felt socking tears down his cheeks. He looked up

"Dad?" Albus was standing by the door "we are hungry…." He instantly felt ashamed. He could see his father was in pain. He sat next to him by the bed

"I'll be right there" muttered Harry "is your sister awake?"

Albus nodded. "When is mum coming back?"

He didn't answer; an awkward silence filled the room

"Don't worry Al" said Harry. "She'll be here tonight"

Harry gave the children some cake. He wasn't in the mood of cooking anything. He sat on Ginny's usual place so he could feed the baby. He was doing so absentmidedlntly

Lily and Albus shared a look. "Where is mummy?" Jack asked innocently "I want her to come home"

"Shush!" snapped Lily

Harry tucked the four children to bed that night. It was bedtime and Ginny wasn't home yet

"Daddy?" Paul asked "why was mummy crying?"

"Because she was sad" Harry told him

"Are you sad too?" Harry gave him a sweet smile

"I am" he admitted. He couldn't even remember the moment when they had lost their way.

Harry lied down on the bed, he placed Hannah by his side surrounded by pillows so she wouldn't roll off the bed, and he closed his eyes. His hands rested on his daughter's tummy, he could feel her breath, so innocent, so pure. Sadness took over him and he cried himself to sleep
