Disclaimer: As if I could come up with seven huge books of magical perfection-ha! This little story, with borrowed characters, and a unique plot, is all that I can lay claim to.

Harry sat up in bed and rubbed his eyes, groaning as he remembered the night's events. He checked his watch-it was three in the morning. He heard a pop outside, then laughter. Bloody teenagers, he thought. Why on earth was anyone out this late-or early?

He ran outside to warn them that the neighbours didn't like being woken up.

Once outside, Harry could see them. They weren't exactly teens; rather, they were about his age (twenties). He gasped once he got closer because they looked exactly like him and Ginny. He forced himself to do some fast thinking, which was quite difficult, considering it was now 3:10 AM.

Right, let's see. If that really is Gin and I then I should leave right away. They can't see me; it'll ruin the future. Or the past, since I don't know where I am, it's hard to tell which. Unless they're the ones stuck somewhere, in which case, I should help them get back. Where's Hermione when you need her?

He walked closer. The couple turned toward him, and he dove out of sight just in time. He was able to get a better look at them and realized with a jolt that they were his parents. He then realized that they were his parents out at 3:15 AM. He grinned.

Harry ran behind a bush as they turned and walked past him. They looked so happy, holding hands. Hands! Harry looked for their wedding rings. After scanning both hands of both of them, he realized they weren't wearing any. They must not be married-or engaged-yet.

Harry had been in the past for a few days now, observing his parents. They went somewhere almost every night, the others, he presumed, they worked. Harry felt as he always did when he learned something new about his parents-elated. But this wasn't a memory, a story, or a picture; it was his parents, as real as he would ever see them.

Present Time:

Hands shaking, Ginny dialled the number. Thank Merlin Harry had taught her to use a telephone! Come on, come on, she thought to herself, pick up, pick up…

"Hello?" someone answered.

"Hello, Hermione?" Ginny asked.

"No, it's Ron, Ginny, is something wrong?" Ron asked worriedly.

Ginny was on the verge of tears, but she couldn't let Ron know. He would be angry with Harry and Ginny didn't need that right now. "Er, no, Ron, I just needed to talk to Hermione-wedding stuff." She explained, which actually was true, sort of.

"As long as you don't make this wedding more expensive than it already is, you can talk to her," Ron laughed, "Here she is. Bye Ginny, it was good talking to you."

"You too, Ron."

"Hi Ginny," Hermione came on.

Finally, Ginny could stand it no more; she burst into tears. "Hermione, Harry's gone, I have no idea where he is or when he'll be back, and it's all my fault!"

Hermione was shocked; Ginny usually didn't act this emotional. "Let's think," she said logically, "What did you say or do that might have made him want to leave?"

"I told him I wanted to get married, but he doesn't feel like he can propose because he has no exposure to romance. The only times he saw his parents together, they hated each other!" The words tumbled out quickly.

"Well, he probably went somewhere to think about his parents. Godric's Hollow is probably the first place to look."

"Thanks Hermione," replied Ginny, calming down already, "I knew that talking to you would make me feel better."

"I'm happy to help, but Ginny, when you find him, talk to him, and try to be understanding."

"I will. Thanks, bye."

"Bye Ginny."

That night, Ginny packed her bag and apparated to Godric's Hollow.

Author's Note:

Sorry for the wait, but I'm busy. Please just be patient, (review) and I promise, I will update. Try to remember that I'm only human, and don't have much spare time (and try to remember, that cliffhangers are fun, well, for me!) Thanks for reading and reviewing! Also, for the purposes of this story, pretend that feminism doesn't exist in the wizarding world. I know that Ginny could just as easily propose to Harry, but that would make my story plotless and boring. Please review!!!!
