Chapter One: Tender Times
They Graduated. Got Married. Had kids.. well.. Some of them.. The kids from the days of Voldemort lived a happy, quiet life.. Judging by the way they acted..
Harry had gotten married to Ginny, shortly after she had graduated from Hogwarts. They lived not too far form St. Ottery CatchPole; in fact, they didn't live to far from the Burrow either. Their first baby was expected in about 6 months. Harry was an auror, he worked for the ministry, helping to catch and punish the few left, of the Death Eaters. Ginny stayed at home these days, but she would sometimes go out into Diagon Alley, and sell homemade sweaters.
Hermione was still single, well, still really isn't the word. She had been married once, for about a year. She and Viktor had eloped. The marriage didn't work out, she had found out Viktor was a death eater, and for a long time she wouldn't forgive Harry for putting him in Azkaban. Hermione taught transfiguration at Hogwarts. She loved it there as a teenager, and she loved it there now.
And Ron, who would have thought, that ickle Ronnykins would grow up to also be a teacher? He did not teach at Hogwarts though, he had moved to France, to teach at Beauxbatons, Harry still thinks he is still crazy for Fleur. He taught Defense against the Dark Arts. (Not like there were any left...). He was also single. Never married, but he did have girlfriend... no one really heard much about her.
Well, around Christmas, the three of them would spend the weekend together, and celebrate the holidays. They didn't know how it was going to work this year, with Ron and Hermione being teachers and all. So Harry and Ginny had planned a nice quiet Christmas with the Weasleys. (Christmas fell on a Sunday this year) Ron was trying his hardest to come home, even if it was just Ron Harry and Ginny, it would be worth it, they hadn't seen each other for a year. Then one day, Harry and Hermione had both gotten a letter from Ron.
Dear Harry, and Hermione, I'm so sorry, but I won't be able to make it in for the holidays. I tried, I really did, but there are too many students staying here this year. Tell Ginny I miss her, and good luck with the baby you two. And Hermione, hope you enjoy the holidays. Miss you two! Love, Ron.
Harry was upset, it would just be him and Ginny, and ofcorse, the rest of the Weasleys, and even Charlie was coming home for Christmas. Harry had gotten a letter the day before, from Hermione.
Dear Harry, Don't tell Ron this, but I won't be able to come this year. It's just too busy; I'm so sorry Harry. All my Love, Hermione.
Harry had to tell Ginny it would just be them this year. She was standing at the kitchen counter, trying to make..Something or other. He walked up to her quietly and put his hands around her "ever-growing" tummy.
"Boo." Said Harry in a whisper.
"AHP!!" Yelled Ginny, dropping her wand. She turned around and kissed him, then hit his shoulder. "Never do that again! You scared the daylights out of me!!" She then noticed the look on his face, like someone had died. To him, the holidays had died. "What is it?" She said, almost backing into the counter.
"I got a letter from Ron today."
"And...?"
"Well, he won't be coming in this year." Said Harry grimly.
"Aww honey, I'm sorry. You know what. I've been thinking.. Maybe you and I should go visit him."
This thought had never hit Harry before. Maybe they could. "Hold on Gin, let me write the Ministry,.. See how much time I can get off." And with that, Harry had rushed up stairs, and grabbed his quill.
A/N I know this was a short chapter, but I have tendency to do that! This WILL be longer than my other.. I PROMISE!! I just don't want to get into too much details.. Interesting things planned! SOMEONE COMMENT!!!
