Hi this is my first story so please be nice. I don't own any characters or anything but the story. Criticism is welcome but please don't be rude.
It was at the end of the war when the trio Harry, Hermione and Ron thought they would be able to rest. They had put so much effort into defeating Voldemort and the were expecting things to get better. They were wrong. In the six months since the war had ended it seemed that everything that could possibly go wrong had happened.
It started with literally everyone in the wizarding world wanting to get ahold of Harry either praising him for taking down Voldemort or demand compensation for their losses in the war. After everything that happened with the ministry, no one trusted them to help them and on top of that there were still some people who believed in what Voldemort was doing and were angry at seeing him taken and were constantly sending Harry threatening and cursed letters or trying to curse him whenever he went out in public.
Hermione and Ron were having similar problems, with people harassing them for being best friends with Harry. Ron was also delivered a shock when his mother started accusing him of being responsible for Fred death. Blaming him for befriending Harry and therefore dragging their family into the direct path of the war. Percy and Ginny were both supporting her and the rest of the family were too grief stricken to defend him.
Hermione was having her own problems with her family. Her parents wanted nothing to do with her after she found them and restored their memories. They were horrified to find out their daughter had been lying to them for years and had erased their minds to go fight in a war. They blamed the wizarding world and Hemione's magic for what had happened, They decided they wanted nothing more to do with their daughter as long as she was part of the magical world.
The trio were currently sitting around the table at Grimmauld Place looking physically exhausted and emotionally worn out. Hermione and Ron had been staying with Harry since their families had turned their backs on them. Harry couldn't help but think how unfair it all was, they given everything into defeating Voldemort and ended the war. He had almost given up his own life to do so. All he wanted was to be left alone, to live a normal life.
Ron spoke up suddenly, " Why don't we just leave?" Harry and Hermione both looked at gim surprised. "What do you mean?" asked Hermione. " All our families want nothing to do with, everyone else wants us dead or want to see what they can get out if us" he stated. " I say we just leave and start a new life somewhere else ". Harry thought about it for a second. "But where would we go? " " I don't know, anywhere but here." The idea sounded very appealing to the other two. Harry wondered if they would be able to to go far enough away that no one would know who he was. He had no idea how much people in other countries knew about Voldemort or himself but he couldn't be known everywhere in the world. Even Hermione couldn't think of reason against it. Her parents now hated for having magic and a good portion of the wizarding world looked down on her because she was muggle-born. Surely there were places elsewhere that were not so prejudice. "Let's do it" she said firmly. "I'm in" Harry said. "Brilliant" Ron grinned for time in a while. The other two smiled as well before Hemione let ou t a yawn. She checked the time and realized it was getting quite late. "Why don't we go to bed for now and start planning in the morning? she suggested. The other two nodded easily, getting up from there seat and heading to their rooms after a quick goodnight to each other.
As Harry laid his down in bed he couldn't help but imagine the different possible of the life he hoped to have once the three of them left. He did feel some guilt at leaving while they were still recovering from the war but he pushed it away. He had already defeated an evil dark lord while almost everyone else cowered in their homes. He more than earned the right to finally live his own life. He closed his eyes and let himself think of nothing but hopefully a wonderful future in front of him.
When he opened his eyes it was to complete darkness and then he heard someone speak his name. Looking around he saw Ron and Hermione suddenly appear in front of him. "where are we?" he asked. Both the other two just shrugged not knowing anymore than he did. They all jumped when a voice spoke out of the darkness "hello my children, do not be alarmed." "Who are you?" asked Hermione tentatively." I am Gaia I am the mother of earth and every living thing on it, I have been watching you and know of the suffering you have gone through." None of the trio knew what to say to that and the voice continued before they could think of anything. "I have also heard your desire to escape so I have brought you here to offer you chance for that very thing." "What do you mean?" Harry asked. " If you so desire I will send you through time and space to place where you will be able to start new lives without the worry of your pasts". "Why would you do this for us?" Ron asked suspiciously. "You three have done so much for this world. By ending the war you greatly helped to in keeping the balance between the magical and non-magical populations and the world as a whole" the voice explained. " Without you three the future for earth would be very bleak, so I offer you this as a thank you." 'Where exactly will you be sending us?" questioned Harry. "To a world much different than this one. However I will warn you that to do this as I must remove your magic as it will not be needed where you'll be going and once you leave you'll be under the care of someone much like my self, who will care and help you in your new lives." "Who?. " "Their name is Eywa and they will take care for you. Now why don't you think about what you want to do, if you decide you wish to stay here I will respect your decision."
Harry was having a hard time taking in what was happening. While losing his magic was somewhat disconcerting, everything else about the offer sounded wonderful. He looked and Ron and Hermione and asked "what do you guys think?" The looked a little unsure. "Well" Ron began hesitantly "we did say we wanted to get away." "But we don't really know that much about this place or how well we fit in or if there are any dangers we need to worry about." Ron shrugged " that is how it is probably going to be even if we try to go off on are own and this seems to one time opportunity, turning it down seems to be such a waste. I say we take it." Harry added " well it can't be any worse than what we've already been through and what ever happens we will do it together." Hermione still looked unsure so Harry said "Come on Hermione we won't do it with out you" She took a deep breath "okay lets do it." "Wonderful" Gaia suddenly spoke again " Now if you three are ready I will send you off." The three nodded "we're ready". There was a bright flash of light and as they disappeared they heard "good luck."
