I do not own any of the characters or their relationships. The idea is however my own but I am using material from J. . Please leave feedback and I shall try to keep a steady upload throughout. I am not yet sure on how many chapters it will consist of.
Chapter 1- Starting from the end
Harry Potter had by the time this story takes place defeated the villainous and murderous Lord Voldemort who was christened Tom Riddle; once and for all I should add. Tom Riddle had died a mortal death equal to those of his victims; though for years to come the exact scene of the death was made much more interesting than it actually was, as it naturally is with rumours.
Hogwarts was largely destroyed after the great Battle of Hogwarts. Many of the stone walls had been blasted down with multiple curses and spells of both defenders and attackers wands. Many of the defenders who weren't majorly injured helped repair much of the castle, sometimes repairo wasn't enough to fix the damage, for you cannot repair objects broken by curses sometimes.
The repair of Hogwarts took many days, many of the defenders family came to help which greatly sped the process up but as the term was practically at an end, the newly appointed headmistress Professor Mcgonagall, decided that due to recent events and a lack of pupils that Hogwarts would close to pupils for the year; but would be open to anyone who wished to stay for mourning and those who were family-less and homeless. It was defiantly one of the lowest times Hogwarts had witnessed for even stone has memories and those memories would be forever fixed in the stones memories.
The Weasley's were just one of the many families who chose to stay at Hogwarts. They got a room in the Gryffindor common room; several beds were added for Harry and Hermione who both also decided to stay. Harry now was as Mrs Weasley put it "under her care" but Harry didn't mind this because he was now closer than ever to Ginny.
"Harry, what will happen now?" Ginny asked one evening in the common room; Ron and Hermione were present but were too absorbed in a game of wizard chess to be paying much attention.
"Wherever we want to happen." Harry replied "the worst is over."
"What about…us?" Ginny said quietly.
Harry looked at Ginny seriously with a look of a lover, and replied equally quietly "we can go forward, if you want, we can stay as we are now or we can end it which I should voice now that I don't want to end it."
"Ending it is out of the question, Harry." Ginny said firmly. "As to moving forwards aren't we a little young?"
Harry confirmed that they were still quite young and that moving forwards didn't mean marriage as such; which was what Ginny was thinking about. He also said that they should tell Mr and Mrs Weasley if they were to think of moving forwards in any way, as to spare any confusion. Ginny naturally agreed and plans were made. I shan't tell you of these plans, they aren't needed in the narration of this story but I will say that Mr and Mrs Weasley were delighted at the news (although they already knew as much from mere observations).
Ron and Hermione likewise were just as happy together, they were happy taking things slow, but already Ron was Hermione's happiness and world. They got along silently together and when the time came they each told their parents, who were happy for them.
I must now go forwards, to September first of that same year. The Hogwarts Express as you know departs for Hogwarts on that very date, at eleven in the morning. Sitting in one of the compartments were Harry with Ginny huddled up against his side, Ron and Hermione holding hands, along with Neville and Luna (I am pleased to tell you that the feelings which Neville expressed to Luna on the night of the battle were returned with mutual affection) who were submerged in a copy of the Quibbler.
Harry, Ron, Hermione and Neville had decided that they would come and return to complete their seventh year at Hogwarts. It was one of Professor McGonagall's offers that those who wished to repeat their final year could, for some had been taught naught for their N.E.W.T's final exams. It was decide that the two final years would be joined together, meaning Harry and Ginny spent much more time together than was necessary but it suited the couple perfectly.
I shall now yet again move forwards in time, but to two years after they had all completed their final years. I need not tell you that Hermione got top marks in all of her subjects, Harry, Ron, Ginny, Luna and Neville each got good marks, enough to allow them to do what they liked in the future.
In this time, Harry and Ginny moved in together, Harry had enough gold to buy a house, he did have a small fortune locked away in vault 687. A house was brought in Godric's Hollow, a place where both Harry's parents had lived and Dumbledore's as well. It was a place where Harry had strong ties towards. They were happy together and at the end of their seventh year in the house (in the year 2005) Ginny had given birth to the first of their children: James Sirius. I cannot describe Harry and Ginny's delight at their first born's birth but I will say that it deepened their marriage life.
Harry and Ginny were married in the year 2000, it was a quiet wedding, considering many of their closest friends were dead, but the whole Weasley family attended (as you know there is a lot of them), Hermione's parents were likewise invited as well as the remaining members of the Order of the Phoenix and Harry and Ginny's old school friends. I should amend my statement now for it was rather a large gathering of people. The minister of magic himself (a Kingsley Shacklebolt who was once head of the Auror office) was present at the actual ceremony due to his being a member of the Order.
A few years after leaving school, Harry decided he would become an Auror, a dangerous job which is that of catching dark wizards. This is where the story begins:
