Chapter 1: The Star
Harry had just finished his Quidditch practice. It was now when he could finally understand the pressure Oliver Wood had, since he found himself in the same place. He had stayed behind for flying a bit more but anyway…
At the beginning of his sixth year he had been chosen captain of his team. Since he had been the oldest member in the team McGonagall had without a doubt given him the charge, but of course he had had to get his Quidditch ban annulled. His ban had certainly been unfair. Good thing they didn't have that old bat that called herself a witch anymore. But Quidditch was still good and after some getting used to he realized he rather enjoyed being in charge.
His stopped for a moment to watch the sky. He loved watching it, he had always loved it that had been one of the few things that kept Harry sane enough during his childhood with the Dursleys. He always wondered how the stars where and the planets as well, but he always kept his thoughts to himself. At least his grades on the course were good.
After a lot of meditation (over two years), he had finally realized that Cedric's death hadn't been his fault and had stopped feeling guilty about his parents', but Sirius' had been an issue no one dared to mention, Harry had made it clear enough that he was not ready for a closure, maybe not by words but words aren't always needed. He had blocked himself of that pain and tried to think of his godfather as little as possible, he was not ready yet. He had been going through a path of self discovery since his fifth year when he realized he was indeed a good teacher. While in that path he had discovered some powers, abilities and secrets he didn't know he had.
He discovered his low marks weren't due to his lack of magic, but that he closed part of his power to be "normal" as he had always wanted, and to go unnoticed. He copied other people mistakes and when he decided to stop doing that he surprised himself with an amount of power he would have never dreamt of having and with how easily magic was for him then. He could understand everything much better and he felt more like himself, he felt like he knew and understood himself.
But lately he had been feeling rather sad. He had been like that since Halloween, his parents' death's anniversaries. Everyone who had noticed the change in his mood had tried to cheer him up, but it had been to no avail. Sometimes he really missed the Weasley twins, who in his fifth year had been at their seventh and last year at Hogwarts, he missed all the fights they had had, the noise, the explosions and specially, how they managed to make everyone happy and cheerful.
It was January, in a couple of weeks they were going to play the game against Slytherin and Harry was sure that they were going to win. Luckily, he hadn't had to pick a whole new team (that was the only good thing the bad had brought). They had already had the beaters, keeper and a chaser (Ginny had taken it after Harry returned to his seeker place) The other two chasers had been chosen on trials and were fairly good when they started but now the three girls made a wonderful trio. Harry wondered if that was the key to the Gryffindor's victories. Three girls and four boys in the teams in the same places since he started and they had always made a great team. Harry had also manage to get himself a reserve seeker (other than Ginny), that wasn't as good as he, but could work.
He had made it to the Common Room. He looked at his watch, it said nine o'clock. He had promised Ginny to help her with her Astronomy homework. He looked around and found her, waving and calling him with her hand. He didn't hesitate and did as told.
"Ready," he told her.
"Mmm…" she got close and tried to smell him. "I think it would be better if you take a shower. I'll wait"
Harry looked at himself and grabbed his clothes. "I think you're right. A side from being wet I kind of stink."
She smiled and nodded. He climbed the stairs and went towards his room to get his clothes and then went to the bathroom.
It had been less than a year since he had started dating Ginny. In his fifth year he had kind of dated Cho, but that had ended up in a disaster as he finally realized he didn't like her anymore. Since his fifth year he had gotten to know more and more on Ginny and they had become really close friends by the time Harry realized that what he flet for her was something stronger than a simple friendship. On another side, Hermione and Ron had finally admitted their feelings for each other and had been a couple since then. It had been hard for Harry to convince Ron about his true feelings for Ginny but finally, after a well aimed punch by the female redhead he had accepted it and finally everything had worked out.
"Ready?" Harry asked Ginny.
"Yes," she got closer and smelled him again. "You smell nice now."
He just blushed a little and she smiled. "Er- Thanks. But you smell much better," and he winked, she smiled. Harry got closer and kissed her softly on the lips.
"Harry, not now. It's almost ten and I really have to do my homework." Harry's smiled faded but he still nodded.
"You're right. Here's the cloak. Cover yourself well," he answered. They got the cap on themselves and walked to the Astronomy Tower.
After a very long walk they finally arrived. Everything was dark. The sky was the only thing that could be seen, every star on the exact place. Everything shinning as it should be. Everything was calmed, it looked perfect.
"Venus is shinning very brightly tonight," said Harry after a brief inspection to the sky.
"As if I understood what you just said," answered Ginny, he smiled.
"You know that Venus represents
love. It means love's in the air. It's a beautiful day." He said while smiling.
Ginny had to smile too. She loved watching him smile, he didn't do it often,
not after all he'd been through, but after all, if anyone had lived like him
they wouldn't smile much either.
"Or something like that," concluded Harry.
"Well, let's get started. It's almost ten thirty," said Ginny.
After and hour and a half of hard work they both finished their maps. They were perfect. Harry was really proud of them; he had never got them that right. Ginny's was much simpler and that was due to her being a year after Harry, she was just in sixth grade, he was in seventh, his last.
He wondered how it was possible that time passed so fast. He still remembered like it was yesterday when Hagrid took him to Diagon Alley for the first time, the Sorthing Hat, when he, Ron and Hermione stopped Voldemort from getting the Philosopher's Stone; the Chamber of Secrets, where he saved Ginny for the first time; when he and Hermione saved Sirius, the Triwizard Tournament; The DA meetings, The Order of the Phoenix, Sirius again… he tried not to think of it. So many discoveries, so many fights. He felt as if it had all happened in a blink of the eye.
They were sitting on a blanket Ginny had brought staring at the sky. Ginny got closer and more comfortable next to Harry. "Beautiful, isn't it?"
He smiled. "Yes, it's perfect. Just Perfect."
"Yes. Harry, sometimes I wonder what would have been of me if you weren't here." He hugged her.
"But I am. I'm right next to you. Don't think about that."
"Yes," she looked lovingly to his emerald eyes. "I love you Harry Potter."
"I love you too Ginny." They kissed softly and kept on looking at the sky. "To be honest, I also wonder stuff."
She raised an eyebrow. "What kind of "stuff"?"
He sighed, "I know I shouldn't leave on dreams, but I wonder about how my parents were." She hugged him very tightly.
"Oh, Harry. You don't know how much I suffer when I look at you like this. If there were some way that you could meet –"
"I wish there was. I wouldn't change history, but like, meeting them before they become my parents."
"You mean when they were young. Let's say seventh year."
He smiled. "Yeah. I wish I could travel to their time and get to know them. I'd really like that."
Ginny was still looking at the sky when she saw one different, she decided to wish upon it. She hugged her boyfriend tight. Star, please. I wish you could make Harry's wish come true. He deserves happiness. I promise to help him in it if you make it, just, please…
"Gin, it's midnight. I say we should go baaa-"
But he never finished what eh started to say. A white light surrounded them and the last thing he saw was Ginny's happy and satisfied expression. Something very strange had happened, he just didn't know what."
