DISCLAIMER:HARRY POTTER IS NOT MINE

Wanderer in time

CHAPTER 1:The Proposal and an Unexpected Letter

"Hello Mum? Harry proposed!"

10 hours earlier,

Ginny was lying in her bed. Harry had PROPOSED! She had been dreaming of this day ever since she heard the story of the Harry Potter-the boy who lived. And next month on New Years' Eve, she was going to be a Potter! Harry had proposed to her in front of Godric's Hollow. It was a beautiful and romantic full moon night and dozens of stars were lined in the sky. After they finished eating at this muggle place next to Godric's Hollow he pulled her outside on the porch,he stood on one knee and she had to suppress a squeal because Hermione had explained to her that particular Muggle tradition. He looked so handsome in his crisp white muggle shirt, she just wanted to kiss him. He opened a small velvet box and inside she saw the most beautiful ring she had ever seen. " Ginevra Molly Weas –" he had caught her giving him a glare, gulped and quickly changed to "Ginny Molly Weasley , I promise to hold you and love you in sickness ,in health and through Hermione's irritating lectures-" she had given a chuckle at that one,"-until the day I die. Will you marry me? "Yes! Harry, Yes!"

A wide grin had spread across his face as he slipped the ring onto her finger. The ring was a simple platinum band with a diamond on it

. It was his parents' and the only thing he had left of them. She smiled and they shared a passionate kiss until Harry broke off, took her hand and said, "Welcome to our new home!" Ginny smiled just thinking about it. She was bursting with excitement. She didn't know if she could be any happier! Who would be her bridesmaids? Hermione will be the maid of honour obviously. Luna,Lavender and Angelina can be her bridesmaids. Lavender had matured a lot after The Second War. Everyone changed after the war. Hermione had started dating Draco. The newspaper just ate that up.

'Golden Girl with Bad Boy Death Eater'

was the headline of the Daily Prophet for a few weeks. After that, Hermione snapped at anyone who asked her what was so great about Malfoy. The news changed Ron a lot too, he was heartbroken. Malfoy had changed the most. His parents' death had struck him. The Spoiled prat felt all alone in his manor. Andy gave him a place to live as well as company and since then he hung out with all of us. There was still the occasional snarky remark but lot less bitter. Everyone says that it was because of Hermione but Draco never said anything about it.

Dumbledore was put in a coma but had thankfully survived. Not everyone were so lucky. "Fred." Just thinking about it made her heart ache. George lost the most. He hadn't gotten over it he was too attached to Fred. It was only a few months ago most of the Weasleys stopped talking about it and tried their best to stop thinking about it. But she knew Fred would want them to make a joke about his death or something that was how Fred was. But nothing would ruin her happiness especially because she had convinced Harry and Ron to come to hogwarts. She was getting restless she had to tell Hermione. Should I use the floo network? But Mum won't let me in the middle of the night and they don't have a floo network . Wait! I have those muggle things called mobile phones, with that I could call Hermione right now. Wait a minute. How does it work? Damn it! I should have listened to Hermione when she explained how to use it when she was going to find her parents in Australia. Where was it anyway? Her room was a scattered mess. She was living in the Burrow until Hogwarts finished the re-construction because the death eaters had ruined the castle. Even with magic it was supposed to take at least 4 months to complete.

she finally found it and dialled hermione's number.

"You said YES!" Hermione squealed into the phone

"how did you know?"Ginny asked suspiciously

"i'm so sorry i kind of told him to take you to a muggle restaurant"

"you WHAT!''

He said he wont study for the NEWTS if i dont tell him where to take you to eat. but you have to admit it was sweet"

"i forgive you coz otherwise i wont have a maid of honour"

"im your maid of honour? Thanks!"she squealed again in a high pitched voice

"duh! see you tomorrow. Three broomsticks. Usual time and call lavender too if i dont tell her every detail she"ll probably use Avada Kedavra on me bye''

"True. bye!"

She smiled. Harry should have been in Slytherin. Starting of the new school year is supposed to be later than September and she couldnt wait to go to school as not weasley. she wanted her wedding dress to be either white or ivory. a muggle wedding was what she wanted just like the ones in the movies hermione showed her. She couldnt wait for her wedding to come. Suddenly an owl flew to her window and pecked her. She jumped up, startled and a bit irritated at being interrupted from her thoughts. The letter had a Hogwarts Crest, it was from Dumbledore and said:

Miss Weasley I trust you had a pleasant day. I have something to show you. I wanted to know if you could see me in my new and temporary office. It is in Hogsmeade. Ask Rosmerta of my whereabouts I trust you can find your way. 4pm sharp.

P.S my favourite jam is raspberry

Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore

(Order of Merlin First Class, Grand Sorcerer, Chief Warlock, Supreme Mugwump, International Confederation of Wizards).

She wondered where she was supposed to say the password since there would be no gargoyle. Then a horrible thought crossed her mind and she didn't feel like smiling anymore. Why did he send the letter in the middle of the night? It was obviously something very important. Voldemort can't be back and Mum killed Bellatrix Lestrange. The only person left was Draco. Did he befriend Harry just to trick him? She shook herself, NO. Draco would never do anything to hurt hermione. He wouldn't do that but what else could have happened? Tears were threatening to fall from her eyes but she quickly steadied herself and hastily wrote a reply:

Dear Professor Dumbledore,

I'm very interested to see what you have to show me. It isn't any bad news for Harry, is it? I'll meet you at your office in Hogsmeade tomorrow.

Ginny Weasley

Oh how she hoped it wasn't bad news for anyone. Tomorrow was going to be a very interesting day.

Only she didn't know how much...
