Location: Hogwarts property, treenext to the black lake.
Year: 1976


"HARRY" Ginny shouted as she and Hermione were thrown to the ground in Merlin knows where.

From the minute Ginny hit the ground she couldn't move, she felt as if she lost a part of herself. Part of herself died the minute she saw the killing curse hit Harry.

He can't be dead, he can't be. He wouldn't leave me, she thought. We're supposed to live together, we're supposed to grow old together, we were supposed to die together. Both of us against everything.

There's not an us anymore. A voice echoed in her head.

She barely registered Hermione wailing heart breaking sobs on the ground. Shouting

"NO NO NO" she launched herselfGinny and cried on her shoulder.

Ginny could do nothing but hug herand attempt to ease Hermiones pain as well as trying to ease her own.

After what seemed like forever Hermiones crying subsided. She was curled in a ball sound asleep, having tired herself out from all the screaming and crying.

As Ginny laid there all her thoughts were clouded with the memory of what had happened not too long ago.

She kept seeing the look Harry had given her. A look filled with love, regret and resignation. He knew, she thought. Tears streaming down her face as she looked up into the crescent moon.

Ron, she thought andsobbed. She pictured her overprotective goof ball of a brother. She remembered all the times he had gone out of his way to protect her and even though sometimes he took it over the top, she knew he loved her.

By now she was openly sobbing, she was crying so much and so hard she had problems breathing.

When she managed tocalm down, shestood up quickly and decided that a walk, might distract her, distract her from the pain.

She barely took a couple steps before she noticeda tree, but it wasn't just anytree, it was the tree by the black lake. She quickly snapped her head to the right and caught sight of Hogwarts.

Why were they here? She wondered.

But was distracted when huge pain struck her heart as she sat next to the tree, she remembered the way Harry and her had somehow found a way to sneak off during her fifth year and sit by the tree and talk about anything and everything.

She was so entrancedby the heartbreak she was in that her mind didn'tprocess that she wasn't at the Hogwarts she knew.

The Hogwarts she knew was destroyed and overrun by the death eaters.

This Hogwarts was peaceful and lacked the troubled atmosphere she was used to enduring.

All adherent thoughts aside she settled herself down next to Hermione and willed herself to fall asleep. Deciding it was better to deal with everything the next day.

Unknown to bothGinny and Hermione, that when they were to be awakened, they would get answers to everything.


Next morning

Three boys found themselves walking towards their favorite hangout place.

Which just happened to be the tree next to the Black Lake.

"THE MARAUDERS ARE BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER" Sirius Blackshouted, making sure he was heard.

"There's no one around padfoot, no need for you to shout!"Remus Lupin said whileshoving Sirius.

"Listen to Moony why don't you, some of us didn't get any sleep last night" James Potter grouchly said as he rubbed his eyes.

"Not my fault you stayed up all night trying to get Lily to accept your apology" Sirius snapped back massaging his shoulder that had just been roughly shoved.

"DON'T BRING HER INTO THIS" James screamed, Sirius had hit a sore spot.

"THEN DON'T TAKE IT OUT ON ME" Sirius screamed back.

All three boys were so enveloped by their argument that they didn't notice the two girls laying next to the tree, stirring up.


"Shut up"Ginny groaned while still attempting to get more sleep.

The boys stopped their arguing and looked down to where the voice they heard came from.

Utter shock was displayed on their faces as they took in the girls shriveled appearances and tear stained faces.

"Who are they?" Sirius whispered to James and Remus. Concern was written on all three of their faces.

"I-I don't know" James stuttered back finding himself wanting to wake up the girls and comfort them.

"Should we wake them up? I've ever seen them before." Remus said wrapping his brain around the concept that they had, to have had spent the night outside.

Ginny heard the whispering and turned over, feeling an empty feeling settleling down on her.

She couldn't remember, why she was so tired or why she felt so emotionally drained.

Then the memories of the previous night, hit her and they hit her hard.

She hadn't even opened her eyes, but she started sobbing.

This isn't real, this is all a bad dream, she told herself trying to repress the body shaking sobs that were threatening to start.

The boys stood there watching, not knowing how to approach the situation.

Then to their surprise James, the guy who usual ran when it came to girls and their tears, crouched down next to her and tried gently shaking her out of what he thought to be a bad dream.

"Hey it's okay" he gently whispered to her as she turned over to face him.

Her eyes were blood red, no doubt from the previous night crying, but besides that she was extremely pretty, James noticed.

Nowhere near as pretty as Lily he thought to himself, before snapping himself out of his thoughts and made direct eye contact with her.

She couldn't believe it, it couldn't be him. He was supposed to be dead, Ginny thought to herself.

But that didn't stop her from breaking out into a huge smile and lounging herself at him.

"Merlin, Harry I thought you were dead!" She sobbed into James shoulder. Happiness invaded her heart asshe hugged him tight, not paying attention to the fact that the boy she was hugging was stiff as a board.

"Did she just call James,Harry?" Sirius whispered to Remus who was looking down at the interaction between James and Ginny carefully.

"I think she's got him mistaken for someone else" Remus whispered back.

None of them noticed a certain bushy haired girl steering up next to them.

Hermione sat up and felt utterly hopeless as she also remembered that she'd lost her best friend and boyfriend.

She was starring at her kneees which she had brought up to her chest, before her brain processed the voices around her.

She snapped her head up and saw a young looking Remus and Sirius, two people she had seen die infront of her previous years before.

Being the natural gifted witch she was she put two and two together and understood what had happened, but that didn't stop her from screaming.

Remus, Sirius, James and Ginny looked up at her.

"Hermione?" Ginny's voice croaked as she saw the look of pure fear on Hermiones face.

That's when Ginny realized that something was wrong. She looked down to 'Harry's' eyes, something she always did when she wanted answers.

She expected to make eye contact with emerald green eyes, but instead she made contact with hazel ones.

This wasn't Harry, she told herself as she pushed away the Harry look a like and stood up next to Hermione and grabbedher hand.

By now James had snapped out of his utter shock at the red haired girl who had just sobbed into his shoulder while murmuring "Harry" over and over again.

Ginny's eyes followed the Harry look a like as he stood up next to two boys.

She saw Remus and Sirius and nearly collapsed on the ground from shock.

"WHO THE HELL ARE YALL" Ginny screamed as she and Hermione started backing away pointing their wands at them.

When no reply came she continued

"I SWEAR TO MERLIN IF YALL ARE BLOODY DEATH EATERS TRYING TO PLAY A JOKE ON US I WILL KILL YOU ALL" she shouted getting ready to attack them.

Hermione being one to always pay attention to detail noticed someone walking towards them.

She gasped as she saw that the person that was walking towards them, walking up to themwas a very much alive andyounger

Albus Dumbledor.
