Prologue
"Must you go?"
"We talked about this before 'Mione, I want to make a name for myself that isnt anyone elses. Now that Voldemort is gone its time for me to go do something that i love for a while, not that i dont love you, 'cause i do but this is something i need to do for me and i need to know that this will be the best thing for both of us, we havent been apart for almost 2 years now and maybe before we decide to take this any further... we should take a break, i dont want you sitting hear waiting for me. I love you and you need to know that but there is so much else that I need to know before this can happen" Harry brushed Hermiones curls back away from her face as he kissed the tear that had trickled down her cheek.
Reluctantly he was leaving her, and for the first time in his life he felt detached. So much of the last two years he had clung to her, like a fawn in need of strength, but now he was grown and needed to be out on his own and he hated himself for it. What had she ever done but love him? He took Puddlemore United up on their offer to have him be their premier seeker. And he was excited but he knew Hermione couldn't come with him, and she couldn't be there waiting for him she was too good for that, so he had to leave her. He hoped though and prayed that if she REALLY truly loved him she could wait.
Years passed and he didnt hear from her, and soon he began to see other people, more specifically Cho Chang had made Puddlemore United as reserve Seeker, and they had been seeing each other on a frequent basis. Still though he couldn't help but remember her as a curly brunette would brush past him, or as he walked by Flourish and Blotts.
In Hermiones head, he lefther he wanted to break it off, did she love him yes, did she want to be with him, of course, but he had been away for almost two years, and hadnt "found his place yet". So she did what he wanted her to do... move on. She met Viktor Krum at a party between mutual friends, he had gotten out of the Quidditch world and was now working on getting his visa so he could work in the English Ministry. He had just recently proposed and their engagement was all over Britains announcement papers.
Barely a week later, Harry proposed to Cho, though they didnt make it public until about a month and half later. The birth of their first child Lily left their marriage in a new spot, at first it was good but before long Harry saw the old Cho returning, the one who couldn't stand being alone, the clingy Cho that Harry thought she had outgrown. Harry loved his daughter more than anything in his life, and so often he felt Cho suffocating her as to make her a child forever. Cho's family refused on letting Lily go to Hogwarts so instead she attended an all girl school in upscale Britain. He grinned and bore it, he had married her, she was his wife and he couldn't do anything about it now, just love her now matter how hard it may seem.
Hermione found herself in never ending bliss with her son Troy, and Viktor, though there relationship was not by any means on the rocks Hermione found it difficult at times to not wonder about Harry and the passion that they could have shared, wondering if it would be different than this seemingly best male friend that she moved in with who just happened to be her husband.
Twenty years later their reunion is coming and Harry is debating as whether to go to Hogwarts or not. To face Hermione could be one of the greatest disappointments of his life. To see her face, happy in the arms of another man, the dream of what might have been tugging on his every thought or whim. Thinking of conversations that would be appropriate seemed to be essential, from what he could tell she had a son that was about Lily's age, good for conversation he supposed but still the agony burned on his mind. He was so unsure.
As Hermione walked up the steps that had once seemed so large and magnanimous now seemed a little dimmer, and she knew it was not only them who had changed, over the years she too had changed a great deal. She left these steps in the arms of Harry and was now arriving in the hands of her son and Viktor. She didnt know if she could face harry again, the look in his eyes, would he be with his wife, as happy as they could have been?
As she signed in with the current head girl her son stopped and talked for a bit (they were in the same year) and he congratulated her on making head.
Hermione walked through the doors to the great hall, and without even looking she saw him...
Hey guys new story based on the 1950s movie a Summer Place... GOOD MOVIE... BAD SCRIPT... lol but i love it!
