History Repeats Itself
It was a normal day in the life/death of Lily and
James Potter. Every minute of the day, they watched there son because since
they would never have the parents/son relationship (A/N: Don't worry, no
incest or slash implied!) that they would have if they were alive. However,
they were invisible to him and everyone else.
Harry
had just gone on a date with Ginny, and he was satisfied. They went to Hogsmead
and got a butterbeer. It wasn't much, but it was fun talking to Ginny. They had
a very interesting debate and a conversation about the Chudley Cannons.
Lily
was uneasy about something that had been bothering her starting when Neville
had recently become much better friends with Harry, Ron and Hermione, and
increased during the date. She explained it to James.
"James, you know how Harry
looks and acts almost exactly like you?" she asked.
"And how Ginny is a
mirror image of you except for her eyes?" he added.
"Exactly. But that's not
the end of it. Have you noticed a similarity between Moony and Hermione? Both
quite brainy, but likeable."
"And Padfoot and Ron! I
don't know why I never reliezed it! They're both –"
"-jokesters and feel
overshadowed by their best friends. Neville and Wormtail are so alike there's
no use explaining it," finished Lily.
Harry's
feelings for Ginny had changed during his fifth year. He finally mustered up
the courage to ask her out, after Cho Chang dumped him. Now, in his seventh
year, they had been going out for a little more than a year. He went back to
his dorm, changed into pajamas and fell asleep.
"I
don't see what's so bad about these likenesses," said a puzzled James.
"Don't you SEE! It's
history repeating itself! If Harry and Ginny get married, Voldemort will come
after them. Dumbledore won't be around at that time, he'll probably be dead! My
theory is Neville will betray them, nothing against him now, because he's just
a kid. But James! I want to protect Harry! I don't want what happened to us to
happen to him!" cried Lily.
"Lily, first of all, the only way to accomplish that is to break
Harry and Ginny up. That would make them unhappy. Second of all, how could we
do that without freaking Harry out? If Harry is destined to have a short life,
at least it will be happy. Mere spirits can't change fate," said James grimly.
Harry had a
nightmare. He was married to Ginny, and he had daughter named Natalie. Then
Voldemort broke into their house. Harry insisted that Ginny take Natalie and
escape. She did. "Avada Kedavra!"
screamed Voldemort before Harry could mutter one spell. Then he watched
Voldemort kill Ginny as she tried to shield Natalie. Voldemort pointed his wand
at her and-
"Fine. We won't break Harry and Ginny up," replied
Lily as a silent tear rolled down her cheek.
Harry woke up
in a cold sweat, his scar burning.
