Stranded love

Harry and Ginny have lost their way. Hermione and Ron cast a spell to show them how great they are together and how happy they once were.

Chapter 3: longing

Harry watched as the scene dissolved. He and Ginny were now standing back at the Borrow. A large aisle had been set up for the wedding. Their younger selves stood in front of the other

Ginny had tears in her eyes, after Harry had said his vows. But she was too proud to admit it to her husband

"So this is it then?" asked younger Harry before kissing her

"I think we've waited long enough Harry James Potter" they shared a sweet kiss and cheers exploded

"Well now that you've married my sister" Ron told Harry "I think you have my permission to snogg her, just don't do it in front of me, will you mate?"

"Sure" Harry chuckled. Hermione hugged him tightly "we are all a family now" she was crying

"We've always been a family!" Hermione kissed Harry's cheek "I'm so proud of you"

"Why?" Harry raised his eyebrows. Hermione took his hand and pointed to the sky

"Because I know they are, all of them!" said Hermione crying again

Harry felt tears rolling down his face. He could see James, Lily, Fred, Lupin, Tonks and Sirius all smiling

Present Harry was also crying. He too turned away from Ginny

At the Borrow

"I don't understand children these days!" said Mrs. Weasley

"Don't worry Molly I'm sure they will be all right" said Arthur

Hermione and Ron sat on his old bed, quietly

"I'm really worried about them" Hermione said sadly

"I am too; I mean you are talking about Harry and Ginny…" Ron hugged Hermione as they made their way downstairs. Rose and James came running

"So did it work?" Rose asked eagerly

"We won't know until the spell gets where it needs to" her mother said

Harry watched the rest of the wedding from the distance. He longed of the days when their mind were in sync, they were lovers, spilling passion everywhere they went. Harry had even selfishly thought that Hermione and Ron would be the ones in trouble in time. But sadly he had become victim to routine. Going to work, feeding the children, playing, tucking them to bed. Occasional dates with his wife

Harry certainly missed those days and as he watched the garden disappear before his eyes, he thought of the time when he hadn't been so trapped in family life.
