Genre: Harry Potter AU post 7th book w/o second ending b/c it sucked in my humble opinion. Contains strong language, may contain sexual content, may contain strong graphic violence, angst, and a ton of other things that persons of weak constitutions would not find suitable… and parents would not find suitable. Please keep this in mind and stop reading if you feel like it is too much for you.
May contain vampires, werewolves, faeries, centaurs, giants, ghosts, and other magical creatures.
It will contain Witches and Wizards. (DUH)
THIS IS A YAIO which means… BOY/BOY. May also have girl/girl, buy most likely not.
Enjoy.
Chapter 1: Old History
It is a very peculiar thing when your journeys lead you back to where you began. Maybe it is a reminder of the hardships faced to get to where you are now. Or even more rarely, it could show you what you may have missed.

The way the Potter and Weasley houses split is explainable with the story of the most shockingly disastrous wedding the wizarding world had seen since Calwardarus Filtch and Haqidwen Algars sought to tie the knot where there was plum pudding and cappers everywhere. Naturally, to be worse than that, the Potter-Weasley wedding must have faced something completely disastrous. Something as completely unpredictable as the new found boldness of Neville Longbottom.
Looking back it should have been easy to spot. The most inept Centaur, with a crooked neck, glass eye, and two peg-hoofs, on a cloud-filled summer night could have seen it coming 1000 years from then. And she did, though none of the other Centaurs cared to remember anything she said and thus it was forgotten. Anyways, enough about how obvious Neville Longbottom's affections were…
Everyone was in attendance to witness the marriage of Ginny Weasley and Harry Potter. Hundreds of people spilled across a beautiful grassy plain not far from the Burrow that was surrounded with all the glory of spring. When the bride and groom met at the altar and said their vows, said "I do", and were about to seal it with a kiss, there came Neville Longbottom on a broomstick flying in to voice his objections first with a hard crash on top of a table set up for the reception after… then with a frantic, potato-salad coated objection.
"Ginny!" Neville screamed.
The poor bride simply looked at the objector with astonishment and a bit of terror.
Longbottom walked forward up the aisle. There was not a single of the hundreds of spectators that could move out of confusion. There was a collective murmuring that equaled building outrage in Harry Potter's head.
"Ginny… I can't let you marry him. Please understand." Neville looked pleadingly and apologetically around himself and at the bride.
"N…N…Ne..ville?" Shock held tightly onto Ginny's breathe.
"Ginny I love you. I always have." There was not a sound. Not a single solitary sound as if everyone in attendance and nature itself were afraid to take in a breath so not to partake in the violation of that breaking moment.
"Get the FUCK out of here Neville!" cried Ron, Harry's best man.
The red-head had his wand grasped tightly in his hand, contemplating striking the friend he now thought traitor, Neville.
"Ginny, please! Don't you feel anything at all between…" Neville was hit backwards with a spell from Ron.
"Neville! Ron don't!" Ginny screamed.
Harry felt her heart's betrayal.
Neville got to his feet and send a stronger curse back that toppled over the wedding arch with many of the attendees in the way. There was chaos and screaming. Spells were being flung in every direction as Harry and Hermione rushed Ginny out of the way of any misfired spells. Then there were quite a number that stayed, fighting over poorly shot curses and disagreements over Neville and the wedding. Ginny was in tears by the time she got back to the Burrow. Harry and Hermione sat her down in a chair at the large kitchen table. Harry kneeled down in front of her and held her hand as she cried.
After a while Harry spoke. "Ginny… Ginny"
The red-head peered up at her husband with confused and pained eyes. At that moment Harry could not explain to himself why he had never seen before what he had realized just now. Ginny loved Harry yes, but she loved Neville more.
Author: That is the end of the first chapter. A bit of back-story going on… This will be Harry/Draco so just wait for it. :D And Enjoy. If I get reviews, you get some more soon!! Thank you.
