It was getting too close to time to get off the train when Ginny excused herself from the compartment. Dylan sat thinking about the last thing his parents had said to him. "Remember son, this year maybe the most important one out of all your school years." Both of his parents had teared up but said nothing more leaving unsaid the fact that it had been his sister's most important year. Dylan knew how his parents felt about him attending Hogwarts for his last year. It would be no surprise to him if he got letters every day.

The sound of the compartment door brought back to reality just in time to see Ginny pushed inside. Standing behind her was a girl with long white blonde hair and dark brown eyes. Standing up Dylan helped Ginny to her feet before looking the other girl in the eye.

"What's your problem?" he asked the girl who stood in the doorway with her hands on her hips.

"She is my problem, her and her whole family." The girl said meaningfully.

"Well I suggest you get over it." He told her.

"What are you to do if I don't." she said

"Make your life miserable." He replied with a smirk and a burst wind that pushed her out of the door.

Ginny stared at him like he was crazy for a few minutes then she started laughing. The sound of laughter made Dylan smile and he turned around. He was meet with a sight more beautiful than he could have imagined, her long hair fell around her shoulders, her deep blue eyes were out lined with a deep black liner and she had light pink lips. Her uniform fit her like a glove and her robe hung around her in such a way that she looked like an angel.

"Why are you staring at me?" she asked once she stopped laughing.

"What?" he said snapping back to reality again?

"I said why you are staring at me?" she repeated.

"I didn't even know I was." He replied.

The two of them sat back down and he asked her who the other girl was.

"Her name is Tabitha she's a slytherin and like her whole her family she hates us. She was always trying to the attention of my older brother Ron and he ignored her. Well that pissed her off. When Voldemort was defeated her parents were convicted of being death eaters." She explained.

"I really don't know what Death eaters are Ginny, In America we weren't being bothered by this Voldemort guy." Dylan said

"Death eaters were his followers and they believed that Muggles and muggle-borns were less then scum." She said "They would kill muggles by the dozen."

"That sucks, they must have been terrible." He said

"You have no idea, I was worried for my brother and his two best friends all the time." Ginny said sighing. "I guess that just came with the territory of being friends with Harry Potter and a muggle-born witch who was always the head of her class."

"What house are you in?" Dylan asked noticing for the first time that her tie was maroon and gold.

"I'm in Gryffindor." She said "Seventh year."

"Yeah." He said

"What house do you think you'll be in?" she asked

"I don't know." He said.

The train stopped and they got off, Ginny stopped and stared the thestrals were beautiful but it was eerie that you couldn't see them until you had seen death. She knew that she and most of the other kids could see them now. She looked at Dylan and found him stroking the mane of one. She walked over to him.

"You can see them?" she asked he nodded and gave her a sad smile.

"My best friend growing up passed away a year ago, he had cancer." Dylan told her then the two of them got in to the carriage.

"You'll have to be sorted with the first years." Ginny said "I hope the rivalry between slytherin and Gryffindor doesn't affect our friendship if you get placed there."

"I won't let it." He said sure of that fact. He knew how his visions worked he only got them if he they were going to come true or if he could change them for the better. He had gotten his powers just before his best friend had passed away. He had gotten a vision a week before and spent every day with his best friend making sure he didn't die. Then on Friday night his parents made him stay home saying that his friends parents would call if something happened. That night at midnight his dad came and woke him up with sadness and agony etched on his face. He knew then.

Thinking back on it now he knew that he had reacted badly and it was inexcusable. He had dressed quickly and ran to his best friend's house tears running down his face mixing with the rain that seemed to have come out of nowhere. He had pounded on the door until it had opened and rushed past his friend's parents up to the room where his friend was supposed to be.

He remembered running into the room to find the bed empty and all the pictures turned down. It felt eerie to him. Not more than twenty hours ago he had been sitting there talking to his best friend and now he was looking at an empty bed with an equally empty feeling in his heart. He fell to his knees and continued to cry. His heart was in ways shattered, the only person her had ever talked to was gone. The person he turned with all his secrets the one who knew everything about him.

It was that same day his parents had decided to go back to England. A week after they had arrived in England a letter came by owl and his parents told about being witches and wizards as the men were called of course. Then they told him they had thought he was squib because he had never shown signs of having any powers. It was that night that he had told them about having the "Dream" as he called it. They told him it was called a premonition and that it made him seer. He didn't ask anything about it. It hadn't been until the day his friend would have been seventeen that he realized his power over the weather. That day he had shut himself in his room and starred out the window tears again streaming down his face. He watched as dark clouds rolled in and burst in to rain. Just as soon as he had quit crying the rain stopped and the clouds disappeared.

Now he was sitting against the back of the carriage across from Ginny who was staring out her window.

"Ginny?" he said causing the red haired girl to look over at him. "What do you think will happen when I get sorted?"

"Personally I think you'll be in Ravenclaw." She replied

He smiled at her than hopped down before turning back to help her out. When he did he saw that she had gotten out on her own. They walked up the stairs together and to the doors of the great hall, there she left him.

Some thirty minutes later a hush came over the hall. Then all the girls started whispering. Ginny looked up and found her eyes meeting those same eyes that had sent her into fits on the train. He smiled at her as he walked up to the sorting hat never taking his eyes off of Ginny. The girls around her noticed he was looking at her and a few of them complained that all the guys looked at her.

The hat took its time with his placement than called "Gryffindor!" to which a huge applause was heard.

Ginny smiled at him and scooted over so he could sit down next to her.

"Where are you from?" a fourth year asked as he finished off his dinner.

"America." He replied.

"Why did you move here?" asked another.

"My parents wanted to come back." he answered "I was born here but moved at a young age."

"I never did ask when did your sister graduate?" Ginny said

"She graduated when I was three." Dylan replied

"How old are you Dylan?" she asked

"I just turned eighteen." Dylan replied

Ginny didn't think he looked that old but then she was often told that she looked fifteen which was a year and a half younger than she was. In two months she would be seventeen of legal age in the wizarding world.

A month after school started Dylan received a letter from home.

Dylan,

We are very proud of you son. In the month you have been gone we have found a few old friends. We have set it up with the head mistress for us to visit soon as we haven't stepped foot in Hogwarts since before Rachael's death. We are also going to meet with an old friend of hers. We hope you will meet him with us. His name is Charlie. As we understand it his younger sister is now a seventh year student there as well. Please meet us at the main hall two weeks from today.

Love always

Your parents.

He shook his head. His parents knew he didn't remember his sister. He didn't understand why they thought he would want to meet this Charlie person. As it was they kept trying to prove his memories were there somewhere.

"Dylan?" Ginny said causing him to break out of his trance.

"Sorry Ginny it's just that my parents are coming to visit in a couple of weeks." He said

"Is that a bad thing?" she asked looking at him with her dark blue eyes sparkling.

"It's just that my parents won't give up on reminding me of my sister." He replied shaking his head which caused his hair to swing.

"Why is that a bad thing?" she asked again smiling to herself. "That would be like if my parents tried to make me forget my brothers."

"How is that the same? I really don't remember her." He said his head down.

"Look me in the eyes and say that." Ginny said

He looked at her but found that he could not tell her what she asked of him. When he looked in her eyes he saw not Ginny but a girl with long flowing dark hair and deep green eyes staring back at him. Her lovely smile was merely a shadow in his mind.

"See you can't do it." She exclaimed before losing herself in his deep brown eyes.

"I remember what she looked, but I don't remember her voice." He said with a sigh. "They expect me to remember all of that stuff."

"My older brother Percy is gone." Ginny said "He isn't dead but he is out of lives."

"I'm sorry." Dylan said

Two weeks later Dylan found himself waiting for his parents. A small smile on his face when they showed up.

"There's someone I want you to meet." He said "I'll go find and be back." he took off toward the common room about two corridors away he looked down one and found himself in the one from his premonition. Ginny sat in the window and was smiling slightly as she looked out the window this time he knew what she looking at and one looked proved it right.

"Ginny." He said and she looked up at him, gave him a smile and turned to look at the two couples again, then she looked over her shoulder and his gaze followed. The man with the pony tail was walking toward them. Just as he had seen Ginny through herself into the man's arms exclaiming… "Charlie!"

Dylan stood still as it hit him like a brick. This man was who his parents wanted him to meet.

"Who's this Ginny?" the man asked

"Charlie, this is Dylan." Ginny said in way of introduction. "Dylan, my brother Charlie."

"Your brother?" He asked

"One of them yes." Charlie answered "I'm the second oldest."

"It's nice to meet you." He said finally remembering why he had been looking for Ginny. "Ginny my parents are here and I'd like you to meet them."

She smiled and we all walked back down to the main hall. His smile faded when they got closer to his parents and he saw that tears were running down his moms cheeks.

"Mom." He aid stopping in front of his parents.

"I'm sorry son, your mom is just realizing how long it's been…" his dad trailed off.

"Mrs. Carpenter?" Charlie said moving to the crying woman.

"Charlie?" she asked looking up from her husband's shoulder.

"It's nice to see you again." Charlie said

"We haven't seen you since before Rachael died." Mr. Carpenter said

Charlie nodded "This is my little sister." Charlie said pushing Ginny forward.

She froze, her eyes traveling from the man to the woman. Dylan smiled at her and she got a funny feeling in her stomach.

"This is the girl I wanted you to meet." Dylan said

Ginny smiled at the couple then curtsied. "It's a pleasure to meet you Mr. and Mrs. Carpenter."

"She certainly has grown up." Mr. Carpenter said looking at Ginny. "The last time we saw you; you were only two and just started walking."

Ginny and Dylan shared a look that said they were confused.

"Ginny they used to come to the burrow on the weekends and holidays." Charlie explained.

"Rachael and Charlie dating in their seventh year and when we decided to move to America she wanted to go to." Mrs. Carpenter said

"By then we had gotten engaged." Charlie said causing both teenagers to look at him. "In March I got the letter that broke my heart."

"Rachael's death." Dylan whispered Charlie nodded.

"I went off and became a dragon keeper after that."

"Dylan I want you to meet the others." Ginny said

"Go ahead son." His father said and then watched as Ginny grabbed his hand and pulled him out the door. He felt a shock as she took his hand and pulled him out to the quidditch pitch. Ginny smiled to herself she felt the shock.

"Guys!" she called out causing the two couples to stop and turn around. She brought them to a stop and pushed Dylan up to her brother and friends. "This is Dylan."

"Hello." He said looking over the four people. Three boys and girl like his premonition the red haired boy was holding the blonde boy who smirked at him and the boy with messy black hair was holding the brunette girl around her waist.

"Hello Dylan, I'm harry." The black haired guy said "This is Hermione." The brunette waved.

"I'm Draco." The blonde said "This is Ron." He said pointing to the red head behind him.

"I'm also Ginny's big brother." The red head said

"Ron!" Ginny yelled blushing bright red. "He and I are just friends."

Ron nodded as Draco leaned against him. The blonde smiled at Ginny and she knew he was sorry for what her brother and said.

"Ron's very protective." Draco said "You see Ginny is the only girl to be born in the weasley line in hundreds of years."

"Yes, and that's why there are so many of us." She snapped.

"Whoa calm down." Harry said stepping in between the two hot headed Weasley's.

"Move Harry." She said

Dylan stared past them as if in a trance and only Hermione noticed. His eyes wide as if in shock. Turning to look where he was she saw a ghost.

"Guys." She exclaimed causing the two fighting Weasley's, Harry and Draco to turn and look too.

"Rachael." Dylan called out before he ran toward the ghost.

"Rachael?" the others asked in confused.

"His sister." Ginny said taking off after her friend. When she caught up with him he had stopped just in the ghost.

"Dylan." Ginny said placing her hand on his arm.

"Rachael." He whispered

"baby brother." The ghost said "I wish I could have been here for you."

"Why are you here?" Came another voice and both Ginny and Dylan turned to see Charlie.

"To tell you to move on." She said "Charlie, I love you but you can still have a family, still have a life."

"I'm trying." He said

"No, you're not Charlie." She said "I'm here now only because I know there is someone else who loves you."

"I still love you." He replied

"I know." She said moving closer to him. "But I'm gone." She gently kissed his cheek. "You won't see me again Charlie." She turned back to Dylan and smiled. "Now you'll have at least one memory of my voice. Take care of mom and dad." She sighed "And don't let anything happen to Ginny."

Dylan nodded then without thinking asked. "How did you die?"

"It was someone I trusted with my secret that I shouldn't have." She said

"Goodbye Rachael." Dylan said with tears rolling down his cheeks. She went over to him and placed a kiss on his cheeks that felt like a tiny breeze.

"I'll see you all again when it's your time." She said before she disappeared.

"Dylan." Mr. Carpenter called from the door.

Dylan wiped his tears away and turned back toward his parents. Ginny walked back to her brother and the others.

"Gin, I'm sorry." Ron said as she walked past him.

"Ron, you treat me like I'm a little girl. I'll be of age in a few weeks." She said "and you embarrassed me."

"Gin, I don't care how old you are your still my baby sister." He replied.

"Ron she's right." Charlie said joining the group. "Besides, I trust Dylan."

"Thank you Charlie." She said hugging her older brother than running toward the castle.

"Hermione can we go talk alone?" Harry asked

"Of course." She said

The two of them went to the tower where Sirius had been kept in their third year. Harry sat her up on the stone and got down on one knee. "Hermione Granger will you do me the honor of becoming Mrs. Potter?"

She jumped off the stone and pulled him in for a long kiss. "I love you, Harry Potter."

"Is that a yes?" he asked

"That's a defiant yes." She said as he put the beautiful diamond ring on her finger. It was a half karat diamond placed on a white gold band. They stood there on the tower staring at the sun which was setting. It painted the sky orange, yellow and red. Far below the could see others talking at the pitch, the Carpenters leaving the grounds and Ginny and Dylan could be found sitting on the steps.

"What a day." Ginny said

"You have no idea." Dylan replied.

"Dylan, do you want to go to Hogsmade with me this weekend?" she asked

He stared at her for a few minutes not knowing what to say then he smiled. "Yes."
