A/N: This idea actually came to me in a dream. I don't know if someone has already done something like this... but oh well.. Can anyone guess who's that girl with Ron? :o) The characters, places, names and all other stuff you recognize from the books are NOT mine.. k.. on with the fic!
Ron rolled over in bed and felt the sunlight that shone through the window touch his face. He finally opened his eyes and looked around, not realizing where he was. The room had emerald carpeting and white walls with navy trim. There were two dressers, made of very fine wood on each side, and dark blue and dark green curtains hung beautifully in the window. A soft hunter green comforter rose to his chest, and his head rested carefully on a dark cerulean pillow. The bed was much larger and comfortable than normal, not to mention, to Ron's surprise, there was a girl sleeping in it. Alarmed, he jumped up. The girl rolled over, opening her eyes and smiling warmly.
"Good morning." she said. Ron looked her over. She had straight, waist length brown hair with hazel eyes. Not to mention she was wearing a (to him) sexy nightgown. Whoever she was, Ron thought she was gorgeous.
"Um...hi.." Ron said shakily as his face turned scarlet. My voice! What happened to my voice? It's.. well.. different.
"Excuse me for a second..." Ron said, as he ran towards the connected bathroom. He quickly grabbed the doorknob and closed the door behind him. As he looked into the mirror, Ron saw a man of 22-25 wearing a flaming red bath robe and Quidditch boxers. Even though he was older, his freckles still stood out on his face. He was still tall and thin, but was much more muscular than he was before. Ron's infamous red hair was perched upon his head in a sloppy mess not unlike Harry's. Ron closed his jaw because he realized it had been hanging open, but a lot of things puzzled him. What was I doing before I got here? All I know was I was 15 and at Hogwarts..Hmm... Oh yeah! I was looking into the Mirror of Erised with Harry and we got sucked inside...But how'd I end up here?"
There was a soft knock on the door. "Are you ok in there, Ron?" it was that woman's voice.
"Oh.. oh yeah.. I'm fine!" he yelled back. Something about the girl was extremely familiar. Her tone of voice and something about her face, and her eyes especially reminded him of someone.
"Alright. Well, I'll be downstairs getting my things together for work, I think you should, too. After all, you do have all-day practice today, right? I'll see you in a few minutes." Ron heard her footsteps out of the room and trail down the hall. Then he turned back to his own thinking.
I look like I'm in my mid-twenties! How did I get here? The last thing I remember I was with Ron...hmmm Harry's thoughts were interupted by a warm, gentle hand on his shoulder. As he turned around, Harry knew who it was immediatley. Even though she looked older, he could never forget the lovely Ravenclaw face of Cho Chang.
"How are you feeling, baby? I let you sleep in, but you've got to wake up sometime.. I mean, enjoy your birthday and day off of work!" She leaned over and kissed him. Harry blushed scarlet and Cho smiled brightly.
"After two years of marriage you still blush everytime I kiss you! Oh Harry, I love you so much.." Cho gave the presently petrified Harry a gentle squeeze and started to walk out of the room. "Get dressed and come down in a few minutes, okay?" she said, as she closed the door.
It took him a few minutes to get over it, but when Harry got back to his senses he was estatic. I'm married to Cho Chang! Harry couldn't help but grinning. He rolled over and hopped off the bed, walking over to his dresser. Strangely, everything was exactly where Harry guessed it would be on his first try. He pulled on a pair of slightly baggy levi's and a green t-shirt. Harry picked a hairbrush off the dresser and started to brush his hair. To his amazement, for one time in his life, he could feel that it stayed down. The only bad thing that happened was he couldn't find a mirror. He shrugged and figured he didn't need one anyway. Harry turned away and casually walked through the door and down the hallway. He went down the stairs and found his way into the kitchen. There sat Cho, with hot eggs and bacon on the table.
"I had to use a charm to heat it up so it wasn't cold. It might not be as good..." she said, looking really sadly at Harry.
"I-it's alright.." he said. She smiled a little, and tried to act casual.
Harry sat down at the square table and Cho handed him a plate. He took a fork and ate a bit. Cho was obviously a very good cook, because the food was excellent. They sat in silence eating for a few minutes, when Cho spoke.
"I forgot to tell you, a few people owled. Hermione, Neville and Ginny wished you a Happy Birthday, and Sirius and your parents will be over for dinner today... " Harry absorbed the last sentence and choked on his eggs.
"M-my parents?!" he said, gasping for air.
Cho looked at him strangely. "Yes. You know.. James and Lily.. Your parents? They want to spend your birthday with you. I don't see what's so weird about that." Harry looked at Cho, but something behind her caught his eye. Harry saw a mirror hanging on the wall. What stared back at him was almost the same face he had last remembered seeing. The only difference was... this time... there was no scar.
Hermione sat in the closest chair to the fire in the Gryffindor common room. She clenched her thick coat around her and finally was warm. Ron and Harry had been her partners for a Transfiguration assignment and at the current moment, they were supposed to be working on it. But no one Hermione had asked had seen them since dinner in the Great Hall. At first, she wasn't very worried. But as it progressed later and later into the night, a voice inside of her was telling her something was very wrong.
Think logically, Hermione. They were probably just sneaking off somewhere as usual and they got sidetracked. she thought. But something in her wasn't letting her believe this... No matter how hard she tried. There was a feeling in her bones that Harry and Ron were about to get in one of the biggest messes of their lives... and for once, Hermione listened to her instincts.
