Summary:  Lots of things are said about stars; like that they make dreams come true, guide and even predict the future. At midnight, Harry and Ginny discover a shooting star that will make three of their wishes come true. Are they ready for them? Time Travel fic!

Diclaimer: I own none of the characters, just the plot. Everything else belongs to JK Rowling, publishers and people involved. I just borrow the story to have fun for a while.

A/N 1: This is the first Fanfic I post on English (that's not my 1st language) so please be nice. This is translation of the original version "Tres Deseos" in Spanish, done by me.


A/N 2: Thanks to everyone that reviewed! Sorry that it took so long, but I promised myself I would translate a chap every time I updated the Spanish version (that isn't finished yet) I was going to translate a chap, that or extreme boredom. So, I don't think the chaps will be too quickly posted. I also saw some mistakes in the 1st chap, I'll fix them sometime. I'm too tired now - 11:30 pm.  

Three Wishes

Chapter 2: The wish

He smiled. "Yeah. I wish I could travel to their time and get to know them. I'd really like that."

Harry was looking at Ginny. If I had only known them… I would really like that… He turned his head towards the sky and he saw a shooting star. Star; make my wish come true… He looked at his watch.

"Gin, It's midnight. I say we should go baaa-"

But he never finished what he 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."

There was a lot of noise in the Great Hall. It was breakfast and the headmaster, Professor Dumbledore was there. Everyone in the Hall was recovering from a serious fit of laughter. The Marauder's had stroked again, this time to the Slytherins. Miraculously, when they had taken they breakfast they had suffered of several transfigurations. Their skins had turned red and their hair had turned into a bright shade of gold. The effect had only lasted a few minutes, but those where enough to call the Headmaster's attention and later amusement.

At the Gryffindor table James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew prepared themselves for the punishment they knew would receive by the end of the day. They weren't ashamed of what they had just done, in fact, they were very proud, and that was what one could see just by taking a look at their faces, they were wearing their typical mischievous grin, saved only for their mischief.

Suddenly a white light surrounded the Great Hall. The laugher got quiet and everyone's eyes were turned to the source of the light, everyone was wondering what that was, most were frightened. Like they all knew, Voldemort was getting more powerful everyday, and they were afraid it were him. But it wasn't. Two young people appeared from the light, they got themselves up from the quiet fall they had just been through.


"Ouch… Shit," said a young boy of dark black hair and bright green eyes. "Ginny?"

"I'm alright, Harry. Language…" answered a young girl with a beautiful and bright red hair. She accepted the look of apology give by the boy with a nod. "Er… Where are we?"

The boy looked around, he didn't blushed when he realized everyone was staring at him, he had already gotten used to that feeling. "Looks like the Great Hall."

The headmaster had been walking over to where they were, and then he finally got there. "Excuse me," he started, but was cut by the strangers. 

"Professor, we don't know what happened!" started the girl.

"We were at the Astronomy tower when suddenly-" continued the boy. They had said all that in a very soft tone, like a whisper.

The headmaster looked at them confused. "Who are you?" he asked. The stranger's faces fell.

"Professor, it's us. Harry and Ginny!" said a very surprised Harry. Meanwhile Ginny had been taking a look around.

"Professor, excuse me. Could you tell me in which year we are?" she said.

Dumbledore found that question quite odd but answered it. "1976"

The teen's faces change completely to panicked expressions when they heard that. They looked, confused, surprised and very shocked. The headmaster heard them say things like: 'What?', 'How?!' and decided what to do, he had a feeling he knew what was going on.

"I think it's better if we go to my office to discuss this matter, it's quite a surprise. Follow me," they both nodded and did as told, not saying a word.

Meanwhile, at the Great Hall murmurs burst out from all the tables, even some teacher were like that.  Everyone was really confused and very surprised.

"Who were that girl and boy?" asked a very shocked Minerva McGonagall to the Charms teacher.

"I don't know, Minerva," he answered. "I've got no idea who they are."

At that time, at the Gryffindor tower the Marauders were asking themselves the same question.

"Who were those?" asked James Potter.

"No idea," answered his best friend, Sirius Black. "But the one that had your same hair looked a lot like you, James."

"It was really odd, the way they appeared. Just from the light," commented Remus.

"Oh, please. They probably were two new students. Could you pass me the marmalade?" said Lily Evans while showing Remus what she wanted, he gave it to her.

"If they were, Why was Dumbledore surprised?" said Sirius. "And if they were he would have said so earlier."

"Maybe he was told today and wasn't expecting them to arrive so soon," explained Lily, while her boyfriend James was holding her hand.

"Could be," James commented, giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"Maybe. But It still stink, it's not right," finished Remus.

"Wow! I didn't know your senses were so developed that could smell situations, Moony!" said Peter.

They laughed at their friends silliness and then Remus answered. "Shut up, Wormtail."

At another side of the castle Professor Dumbledore let the teens into his office.

"Are you alright?" he asked.

"Er…" Harry answered. "A little-"

"Confused," stated Ginny, who had cut Harry. The professor nodded.

"Well, do sit down, please," he said, they did as told and then he seated on his chair. "Now we can talk properly. May I know who you are?"

"My name's Harry Potter and she is Ginny Weasley."

"But, how-" he started but was cut.

"We don't know how or what happened. We were just at the Astronomy tower –doing homework- and the star, and-"

"Calm down, Miss Weasley," said Dumbledore.

"Well Professor, we come from the future," the headmaster looked at them confused. "Twenty-one years into the future," said Harry.  

The professor looked at them stunned. "I see now, Do you know how this happened?"

"Like I said, we were at the tower, looking at the sky and-" started Ginny.

"There was a shooting star and I-" Harry was cut by Ginny.

"Made a wish," they looked at each other and said at the same time: "You did too?"

"Well, I see what happened. It seems, according to the year I assumed that the star you saw was the star of Hope," Harry's eyed widened, he remembered something about that star. "It is said that this star makes three of the wishes of the one who sees it come true. Once it is seen by that person the star will reappear when the wisher wants to make another wish. It only is seen by the pure of heart," he looked at them and smiled. "I hadn't heard about it in years."

"Yes, but Professor. Not every star that legend says that makes wishes true does," said Harry.

"That is true. But the fact that this one was the one of Hope, this one is the one more believed in, and the fact that you both wished for something, that I suppose was the same thing, probably did the last magic needed for it to work."

"Oh," was all Ginny said, still not over the shock.

"What are we going to do with our studies?" asked Harry. Then, from thin air, Harry's and Ginny's trunk fall next to them.

"I believe that answered your question," he looked at them kindly. "Traveling through time doesn't make anyone loose track on their studies," they both nodded. "Well, what year are you in?"

"Seventh and sixth. Both from Gryffindor," answered Harry, he continued after hesitating. "Professor, Is there any way we were both at seventh?" Ginny's eyes went to the headmaster, they looked like begging.

The Professor looked at them surprised. "You want me to put her forward in her studies?" he asked Harry.

"Yes, Professor. Don't worry about how she'll do. Ginny knows more that any other sixth year. I know she is in seventh year level, that or further," Dumbledore was surprised the twinkle in his eyes looking very merry, he looked at her and she blushed, he turned to Harry.

"And, you?" Ginny asked Harry turning to Dumbledore. "Profesor, Harry is the most advanced student in his year." Harry blushed a little at that. He still remembered the shock it had been for him, and specially Hermione, he had beat her perfect scores by only letting his powers flow. "And I assure you you'll never find anyone who knows more about defense against the dark arts and about them than he does. Not even you have been able to pass his knowledge. Now Harry's face looked so red he knew it could have easily been confused by a Weasley hair.

Dumbledore was stunned. Admirable. One can see in their eyes, specially in the boy's, how hard they life must've been. Looks like the boy has the weight of the world on his shoulders.

"All right," they grinned. "But first, although I know you've already been sorted, I'm going to take you downstairs with the Sorting Hat for you to be sorted infront of the students and staff. We'll say you are knew students coming from a little school in Ireland. Any questions?"

Harry got a deep thought look and then smiled. "the other classes, professor"

"Oh my. You are very right. Looks like age is finally affecting me," he said smiling. "Which one's will you be taking?"

"Divination, Care of Magical Creatures, Medical Charms" said Harry.

"And Muggle Studies," said Ginny. Harry send her a quizzical look.

 "Muggle Studies, Gin?" she nodded finishing the discussion.

"That class is one of the Favorites, if I may say so. It seems our Professor makes the class rather enjoyable. If I am not mistaken, the last movie they saw was called 'The Sound of Music' "


Harry was surprised and finally accepted, and that made Ginny very happy. "Any other question?" They both shook their head. "Well, I have two, one for each. Harry, are you a relative of James Potter?"


Harry smiled. "Yes, he's my dad. Lily Evans is my mother." Dumbledore raised an amused eyebrow while smiling.


"I always saw the spark between them. The other one's for you Ginny. You are a relative of Arthur Weasley, am I right?"


Ginny smiled and nodded. Dumbledore suddenly remembered something. "We will also have to change your names," they both showed their agreement.


"How about Harry Larson and Virginia Williams?" asked Ginny. Both, Dumbledore and Harry agreed.


"That settles it then. Now we have to return to the Great Hall. I'll take the hat. The next class you have is Defense Against the Dark Arts, I advice you to take your books out now, that's your class assuming you stay in Gryffindor after the resorting. The trunk will be taken to your rooms."


Harry smiled. My favorite class.


After a few minutes Harry, Ginny and the headmaster, who was carrying the hat, returned to the Hall. Everyone looked at them surprised, waiting for an explanation or at least some information. They just walked to the front.
