What If….

In the 1950's, the wizardry world began a half a century of changes. Discuss.

Harry Potter bit the end of his pen. It was two days before he would arrive at Hogwarts and his mom had been screaming at him because he hadn't finished his homework. His father however had been very interested in how he went to the pavilion with three hundred fifteen galleon notes and returned with ten. Harry sighed and started writing.

     In the 1950's, the International Confederation of Warlocks decided to adapt muggle technology to the wizardry world. With this decision came many angry rioters but by 1959, the technology was fully adapted. The Confederation soon was disbanded and replaced with the United Magical Nations much like the muggle United Nations. In 1972, The ministry of magic was replaced with a system much like that of muggle United States, called the Magical Democracy of Britain (MDB for short) now working in cooperation with the muggle British government. In 1978, the MDB embarked on a campaign to literally expand Britain for the magical community with out muggles finding out. The MDB spent 9.5 billion galleons on construction of an enchanted island north of present day Whales. Today even the world of Wizardry entertainment has magic in them. Of course, the MDB has a tough time keeping these items out of muggle hands.

Harry laid down his pen and checked the clock. It was almost Twelve O' clock and Harry had finally finished his homework. He turned off the lights and went to bed. 92 miles away Ginny Weasley was lying in bed debating with herself.

I can't believe he got me the bracelet! It was three hundred galleons maybe he does like me!

He probably just felt bad about forgetting your birthday and decided to get you the bracelet.

Why do you always have to ruin my day?

It's my job to keep you down to earth. Ok, let's assume for a minute that he does like you. What would you do if he asked you out? Blush and get all tongue-tied. Come on Ginny, you weren't made for this type of thing.

Ohhh what do you know. And why do you always have to be negative huh?

I have to be negative cause you always take the positive role.

Ohh be quiet.

With that Ginny drifted off into an uneasy sleep.

"Hey, Mum can I talk to you," "Sure Ginny. What is it." "Well Mom, it's like this: Harry and the guys forgot it was my birthday yesterday so I made them buy me something. When they came back Seamus and Dean got me some usual presents but Harry got me this," said Ginny lifting up her wrist. Mrs. Weasley dropped the pan she was cleaning as she looked at Ginny's bracelet, shimmering in the morning sunlight. "Ohh My Goodness! Would you look at that!" "Yeah I know mom and guess how much it cost." "It must have cost a fortune!" "Close. It cost three hundred galleons. And now we come to my paradox. Do you think this means that he likes me or not?" "Ohh honey… you know I don't know the answer to that. But if you want to find the answer then you'll have to look in Harry's heart." Ginny gave a sigh. "Thanks any ways mom." "Your welcome honey." Ginny went up to her room and jumped on her bed. If you wanted to find Ginny when she's thinking, your first place to look would be here. She was going over every movie she had ever seen in case there had been a clue to solve her current situation. After an hour, she gave up on that and tried to find away using her own originality. By noon she was getting hungry and still hadn't solved anything (unless you count finding out who really shot JFK).

Wow! So it was Castro!

 You're not helping.

 Sorry, but still. Castro!

Will you concentrate?

Well why don't you just ask him?

You know I can't do that.

Well then why don't you just…….

Well if there's no other way.

Brrinng, Brrrinng, Brring

"Hello"

"Hey Harry. What are you doing?"

"Playing Zone of Enders."

"You free later."

"Yeah what do you want to do."

"Well I was hoping you could come to the forest."

"You still scared of it huh? What about Seamus or Dean?"

"They didn't pick up."

"Ok fine. I'll meat you there."

Ginny was elated. She had it all worked out and if all went well she would have her answer by the end of the day. Even though her mom was asking why she wanted to go to the forest so badly, she told no one. She had butterflies in her stomach. She was tingling from head to toe. Her mind raced. Her mother asked if she was feeling well. Even though she felt like throwing up she replied "I am fine mum." Ginny maybe you should back out. You, Conscience, told me to do this and I am not backing out. Fine be that way. After getting out of the car, she sat outside the forest, waiting for Harry. In five minutes Harry arrived riding his bike. He locked it up and said "Where to today."  "We are going to go over the creek." "But we didn't map out that part yet." Ginny flashed one of her golden smiles and said "So?" They walked deep into the forest before reaching the creek. Truth be told it was a more of a rushing river than a creek. Harry was scared out of his wits but followed Ginny over the stones. After crossing it, Ginny looked quite shaken and Harry asked if she wanted to go back. Ginny refused. Harry didn't know it but it seemed Ginny's own sanity was relying on this plan to work. They hiked the forest for an hour before they arrived at Ginny's point of destination. At the top of a small cliff face, a little stream came trickling out of the rocks. It was the most beautiful thing Harry had ever seen. Everything seemed to be at peace up here. Then he realized something. "Ginny, how did you know about this place if we never crossed the creek?" Ginny flashed another golden smile and said "Just because we never came here doesn't mean I didn't." Harry was confused but unless Harry was greatly mistaken, he was beginning to catch on. Ginny began to walk closer to Harry. "Harry I brought you hear to ask you a question that no words, that I know, can actually capture the meaning." Ginny was now so close to Harry that there noses were almost touching. Ginny lead forward and planted her lips on his. Harry then gave her the exact answer she had been hopping for by kissing her back. They stood there for ten minutes, lips interlocked. Ginny hoped it would never end. But like all things in time all things must end.

"I love you Ginny."

"I love you Harry."

They then returned to their embrace.
