Author's note: Ok, in this story Harry receives an odd gift and finds himself in his future! In his future he's married, has a kid, some ones dead, Hermione and Malfoy are married and also have a kid! What's going on, Harry thinks. Read and find out what's going on. I know it seems in the books Hermione and Ron and destined to be together, but I'm writing this story for some friends of mine and they all like Hermione and Draco. So, any way here's the story. Oh, I should warn you I'm not good at the romance parts. I own Hope, Tommy, Janet, the necklace, plot, and everything you don't find from the Harry Potter books. JK owns everything you know. Ok, please read.
Harry stared out of his bedroom window at the Dursleys. He was looking for Hedwig, she should be back with a letter from Sirius soon. Harry glanced at his clock 3:05. He was officially 15 now, he didn't know if that was good or bad. Right now he'd give anything to be 13 again, or 11, maybe even 12, or a year old. At least then he'd have parents. Harry saw the shape of an owl heading towards him so he jumped out of the way onto the bed.
Hedwig came through the window and landed in front of Harry on the bed. She held out her leg and Harry untied the parcel and letter. Hedwig took off back into the night. Harry decided to open the letter first, to see who it was from.
Dear Harry,
Hey, Happy Birthday! I know I don't have to tell you this but keep an eye
out. Be careful. ANy way here's a present for you. James gave it to your
mother in our seventh year. It has a charm on it too show you at age 27,
Lily didn't like how she looked at 27, she hated it because she was pregnant
with you! James and I teased her for ages about that. So I hope you like
this, Happy Birthday. Buckbeak and Remus say hi.
From,
Sirius
Whoa, Harry though. So this thing used to belong to his mother, and it shows you at age twenty-seven. Harry unwrapped at the parcel and found a gold chain with red and gold phoenix hanging from it. Written inside out the phoenix was esaelp taerg xineohp fo eht nuswohs em woh I ma ta ytnewt-neves. Odd Harry thought, he'd have to ask Sirius what it meant. Harry decided to try it out. He slowly slid the chain around his neck, there was a blinding flash of red, gold, and violet light. Harry felt like he was being stretched out or something.
Then in an instant it was all over, Harry got up and found himself in robes, and he was taller. He slowly went over to the mirror hanging in the closet. He found he couldn't see. Harry took off his glasses and could see perfectly. "Cool," Harry said. "I can see with out my glasses. WOW! I look so HOT!" Harry laughed, he really did look THAT good.
Harry then reached up and touched at the phoenix. He felt that, oh so familiar, tug behind his navel. Just like when he touched a port key, though this one was taking much longer than any other port key. Finally after five minutes, Harry felt his feet hit solid ground and he fell to his knees. Harry looked around, he was on a large field and in front of him was a huge mansion. It looked just as big as Hogwarts.
"Harry what are you doing?" a voice said from above Harry's head. Harry looked up and found himself facing an adult Ginny Weasley, but she looked about twenty.
"G..Ginny? What are you doing here?" Harry asked confused.
"Silly, I live here." Ginny said laughing.
"You do?" Harry asked still confused.
"Yeah, me, you, and our daughter Hope."
"I have a daughter?"
"Yes, Harry what's gotten into you? I think you must have gotten hit by a bludger at that last Quidditch match."
"Yeah, I think I did. Explain everything to me."
"Well, you and I are married. You asked me after you left Hogwarts so about since you were 18 and I was 17. We had a daughter when I was twenty, and now she's about six. Um...Hermione is married to Draco-"
"WHAT!"
"Harry hush. ANy way he turned out to be on our side and saved Hermione's life once and now their married and have a son, Tommy who's Hope's age. The three of them are coming over for dinner tonight, so is Sirius. So let's get going." Ginny reached down and pulled Harry up and the two of them started walking towards the mansion.
Then a little girl with long messy black hair, and brown eyes ran up to them saying, "Mum Dad! Sirius just owled and said he'd becoming late tonight. Tommy owled and said they're getting ready to go right now, which means they'll get here in about an hour. Remus owled and said he got rid of the boggart under my bed, and....Seamus owled to say sorry about not coming yesterday but Lavender had a baby boy named...Jacob. I think that's all, oh and Pig is flying around the kitchen again and Janet can't get him down."
"Who's that and who's Janet?" Harry whispered to Ginny.
"That's our daughter Hope, and Janet is our house elf," Ginny whispered back. "Thanks Hope for the messages."
"No prob I'm going to wait for Tommy." Hope said running off towards the mansion.
"Tommy and Hope are best friends," Ginny said smiling.
Harry then thought of his best friend. "How's Ron?" He asked.
Ginny stopped and stared at him tears in her eyes, "That bludger must have hit you real hard."
"What happened?"
"Harry....Ron's....Ron's...Well Ron's...dead. Voldemort killed him a month before we had Hope," Ginny said quietly.
"Oh....wow...god" Harry said he could feel tears starting in his eyes too. Then a tiny blur ran into him.
"Hi Harry!" it said. Harry looked down and saw a little boy with grey eyes and brown hair.
"Hey Tommy," Ginny said. "Hope's inside waiting for-" she didn't have to finish Tommy ran past the both of them, knocking them over, while he ran towards the house.
"Sorry about him. He got all excited when he found out we'd be arriving on time," a voice said. A tall women with light brown bushy hair came over, and helped them up. She kissed Harry on the cheek and then hugged Ginny.
"Hey Mione! Long time no see, it's ok about Tommy. Hope's just as excited, where's Draco?" Ginny said.
"Right here," said a voice, coming up behind Hermione. Harry recognized him right away as Draco Malfoy. Though Draco looked different, less Slytherin like and more...Gryffindor like. Harry never thought he'd see Malfoy like this.
"Hey Draco!" Ginny said running forward and hugging him. Draco hugged her back and sent Harry a wave.
"Well, glad to know I was missed. Who else will be joining us this evening?" Draco said, his drawl gone from his voice and a million dollar smile replacing his smirk.
"Well, you, Mione, Harry, myself, Tommy, Hope, and I think Sirius will be coming," Ginny said. "Let's go inside." So the lot of them headed inside. Draco even started a conversation with Harry about Quidditch. They reached the door and went inside to the living room.
It was a large circular room coloured scarlet and gold, it looked all most like the Gryffindor Common Room. They could hear laughter from upstairs and then someone entered the room. "Hey, everyone." Sirius said plopping down next to Draco.
"Hey, Sirius." everyone replied. Then Ginny and Hermione went back to their conversation about the newest article in Witch Weekly, and Harry, Draco, and Sirius started talking about Quidditch.
Then, an hour later, Dobby, and another house elf came into the room. "Ladies and Sirs dinner is ready," Dobby said. "I've already called for Miss Hope and Mr Tommy."
"Thanks Dobby," Ginny said leading they way into the dinning room. Harry sat between Ginny and Draco at the circular table. They waited ten minutes for the two kids to come down stairs. "Ok, I'll go see where they are," Ginny said getting up.
"I'll go too," said Harry, Draco, Hermione, and Sirius.
"How about we all go, it would make finding them faster," Harry suggested.
"Yeah, I last saw them in Hope's bedroom," Sirius said. "We should start there." Everyone nodded and they headed up the stairs. They made their way to a door covered in posters of Quidditch players and singing stars, Ginny reached out and tried to open the door.
"It's locked," she said sounding shocked. "It doesn't even have a lock, it can't be locked! Only very powerful magic could lock it." Ginny started looking very worried.
Harry took out his wand, "Alohamora." Nothing happened. He tried it five more times and still nothing. "Ok," Harry said. "I want everyone on the count of three to point their wands at that door, and say Alohamora. One...Two..Three. ALOHAMORA!"
Everyone shouted the spell at three and the door slowly opened. It was pitch black inside, Harry heard everyone else say lumos and he did too. The room was a mess, everything was torn apart. It looked worse than the Shrieking Shack. Ginny gasped, and Hermione choked on a sob. The there was a noise from inside the closet. Harry slowly walked over to it, and opened the door.
Harry looked inside and saw Tommy tied up. "Tommy," Harry said bending down to untie him. "Tommy what happened? Where's Hope?"
Tommy looked at him and broke into sobs. He pointed his hand at the far corner of the room, Draco bent down and picked him up trying to comfort him. Harry though went over to the corner. He held his wand up high and looked at the floor. Written, in what looked like blood, were the words Potter, I have your daughter. If you ever want to see her alive again I suggest you come and get her. Come alone and unarmed, if you don't she dies. You decide her fate, Potter. It's either your life or hers.
"Oh my god," Ginny said coming over and looking at the floor. She down and touched the red writing, it came off on her hand. "Harry it's written in Hope's blood." She got up shaking all over, and sat down on the bed. Harry sat down next to her. He put his arm around her, she turned and cried into his shoulder.
Sirius, Draco, and Hermione soon all came over and looked at the message. Hermione broke into sobs, and Draco comforted her. "So...what do we now?" Sirius asked, turning to Harry. Harry looked up at him.
"I guess I have to go get her back," Harry said.
"Your mad, the instant you get there Voldemort will kill you and that would leave him alone with Hope and he'd end up killing Hope. You can't help her or any of us by doing just as he wants," Draco said.
"But if I don't he'll kill her!" Harry exclaimed.
"Yeah well we just have to work around that now don't we," Sirius said. "All I know is that you going there alone and unarmed is like just handing you and Hope over to him. We need a plan."
"We need help," Tommy said finally speaking up. "This is Voldemort we're talking about. He's been pushing it forever with us and this time he's gone too far over the line. I think this is it, we have to end it now once and for all. We need to tell Dumbledore, and then we have to get everyone we can trust together. If we don't I think we'll never see Hope again." He said this in such a serious voice no one talked for a while after wards.
"I agree with Tommy," Sirius said.
"Me two," Draco said.
"And me," Hermione said.
"Me also," Ginny said. "Let's go and get Hope back."
Everyone nodded. "So," Harry said. "Where do we start?" Everyone was quiet and unsure of how to start.
