Chapter Two: Harry's Prologue

A little way from Ginny and her problems, Harry potter was leading a pretty easy life. Living in a small flat in Godrics Hollow, he could visit his parents' graves when he wished. This pleased Harry very much and it also meant his surrogate family, the Weasleys, were only a few minutes away so they were always there whenever he needed them and regularly visiting him and accompanying him to James and Lily's graves with flowers. The only Weasley Harry never saw was Ginny, his ex-girlfriend. The last he had heard, she had married Draco and was expecting twins.

Harry, like Ginny, had hardly changed since leaving Hogwarts. His scar was now less noticeable under thicker, longer black hair and his green eyes sparkled now more than ever. He was quite tall and thin and was currently working at the Ministry of Magic, in the Magical Law Enforcement office, after deciding against becoming an Auror.

Harry had never married so, in turn, never had any children of his own but, as a result of this, became an immediate volunteer to Hermione and Ron, who had a daughter, Alyssa Kimberly Weasley. He didn't mind this one bit as he got on very well with Alyssa. She had long brown hair and big blue eyes that glistened softly in the sun.

"She's gonna be a little heart-breaker when she grows up," Harry told Hermione the first time he met Alyssa.

A few months after the downfall of Voldemort, Harry lost complete contact with Ginny, which made him worry about her. According to Hermione, she was really unhappy and wanted to leave, taking the babies with her. Harry would love to see her again, even if it was just as friends.

As Harry woke up on the unwelcome Saturday morning, the fireplace turned a venom green and Hermione stepped out, 1 year old Alyssa in her arms. As soon as Alyssa spotted Harry, her arms outstretched, a pleading look in her eyes.

"Hawwy! Hug Hawwy, now!" She demanded. Harry laughed, took her off Hermione and spun her in the air, making her giggle.

"I've just had these turn up at mine, but they all have your name on them. There are 12 in all. The earliest dates back to 12th of May, 2001." Hermione handed Harry a large brown envelope, filled with rolls of parchment.

"Thanks, any idea who sent them?" asked Harry as he took the envelope with his free hand and padded over to the calendar that was set up on his wall, opposite his mirror. 13th of July, 2002.

"No, but they were sent over a year ago, all by the same person." Hermione looked at the handwriting on the outer side of a near piece of parchment before unraveling it carefully.

Hope to hear from you soon Harry!

Ginny.

"Ginny," Harry said, reading over her shoulder. "Wonder what she's after."

"Well, I can't hang around to find out to find out, sorry, I'm gonna be later for work, thanks again for having Alyssa on your day off Harry! Be good for Uncle Harry Alyssa!" Hermione said, giving Alyssa a small kiss on top of her fluffy brown hair and giving Harry a peck on the cheek.

"I'm aways good for uncwe Hawwy!" Alyssa argued. This made Harry and Hermione think of when Alyssa had crawled behind the bookshelf and made it crash to the ground. The pair fell about laughing.

"I've really got to go, bye!" Hermione said to the pair as she stepped into the fireplace. Harry and Alyssa waved her off before retreating to the kitchen to get breakfast. With a few flicks of his wand, Harry had made egg and toast for the pair. As Alyssa was eating, Harry dug out the first letter that dated back to last year.

Hi Harry, it's Ginny.

Just thought I'd tell you that I had the twins nearly a year ago now and they're doing really well. I had a little girl, called Erin Isabel and a little boy called Reuben Draco. Obviously, Draco prefers Reuben and is a fantastic father to him, and to Erin, well…

I better go, "the master's" home.

Hope to hear from you soon,

Ginny x.

Harry's heart sunk further and further as he read more of the letters. Ginny sounded miserable and Harry couldn't help her as he had no idea where she lived. Malfoy Manor? No, it was destroyed. Slytherin Manor? No, Pansy lived there now. Harry was mad with himself for not writing to her. He was going to write to her today, now. Making sure Alyssa was occupied; he sat at his desk with a quill in his hand, parchment in from of him.

Ginny,

So sorry about the massive delay in writing to you…I have only just received your letters.

I hope the twins are doing well they must be about 2 now, am I right?

How are things with Draco now? Any problems, tell me, you can always come stay with me for as long as you need to. I'm here for you, Gin.

So where are you living now? I'm back at Godric's hollow, which is nice, I can see my mum and dad's grave now, whenever I like.

I've got Alyssa, Hermione and Ron's little girl, here for the day today. She's such a sweet kid.

Hope to hear from you soon. You can floo to me if you like. I live at 260. You won't miss it; I'm the only one who has a deep red fireplace.

Harry.

With that, he tied the letter to Hedwig's foot, opened the window and went to make sure Alyssa hadn't blown anything up.

A/N well, here you have it…Harry's side.

Merlin knows where this is going.

I'll think of something…Let's ask L'ange des miracles!
