"Yes Ginny, I am the one who is called Amanda, I am your daughter...,"
"M...My
daugter...," I stuttered
"Yes Ginny...In my time, in
this battle, both you and Harry were killed. I live in a different
realm to this so to speak. In our time, Voldemort was defeated by the
sons and daughters of the families. Me, Amanda Potter, Thomas Weasly,
the son of Ron Weasly and well I cant reveal that, Hannah Granger, I
use her maiden name as I can not tell you who her father is and
finally, Jake Malfoy. In this world, the battle is ours. We are all
friends; we are the next generation of marauders. In our last battle
against Voldemort, the others were killed...My only chance to bring
them back, was to travel back I time, and change time, so that in my
time, he would have been dead for years. It was hard to do, but with
the help of Lewis Lupin, Teresa Snipe, Keeli Longbottom and Jamie
Finnigan, it was possible. They created a spell, which could bring me
back as a ghost. I was that light in your wand Ginny. Before, when
died, I knew he would come back, but I tried to save him. I didn't
manage it, but I helped and made sure that you were kept safe. When
Harry died for the second time, I couldn't save him; I knew though,
that I had the power to maybe bring him back. I tried with all might
to summon a powerful spell, only preformed once, by you Harry in the
future. You use this spell to bring back someone you love, to test
it. I used it to bring you back,"
I smiled "Thank
you...Amanda...,"
"There is no need for thanks mother,
now in the future, you can live and see me grow..."
Then
slowly as it seemed, Amanda started to disappear, and the small baby
Amanda clapped.
"Huh?" Snipe bolted up grunting from
his sleep "What's going on!"
"Severus, you don't
want to know," smiled Harry
"Harry um your alive,"
"Don't worry Severus...We'll tell you later," Harry
smiled, thinking of Snipe with a daughter.
When we arrived back at
our house, Harry didn't make it inside. We'd had to help him walk
down the path, but apparaiting had taken his last bit of strength. He
collapsed and Snape had to pick him up and carry him inside. I held
tight to Amanda as she slept, looking at her smiling. She was going
to be so beautiful when she grew up.
When we walked into the
kitchen.
"Thank god! You found them Severus!" sighed
Sirus
He looked as if he'd not slept in a long time.
"Yes
I found them," said Snape bitterly
After all these years, he
refused to make friends with Sirus.
Sirus took Harry into his
arms and took him upstairs to bed.
"What's all this
noise," mumbles molly as she walked into the kitchen, wiping her
red eyes.
"Hi Mum," I whispered
"GINNY!"
she yelled and ran up to me
She squeezed me and Amanda tightly
"Oh god don't you ever scare me like that again! Never ever!"
"No Mum...Never ever..." I whispered back as I closed
my eyes, and passed out from exhaustion
I woke up the next day,
my body curled closed to Harry's. They must have placed me beside
him during the night. Amanda slept peacefully in her cot on the other
side of the room. This was just...perfect. Me and Harry were
together, Dad wasn't mad at me anymore and we were home with Amanda.
I heard a faint cry so I sleepily climbed out of bed I find Amanda
not there! I panicked, I ran towards the cry which was downstairs in
the living room.
"Amanda!" I burst into the living room
and sighed with relief...
Mum was sleeping on the couch and Dad
was sat in the chair, nursing Amanda in his arms.
"She's
so adorable Ginny...just like you were," Arthur smiled
"I
was scared Dad...I thought something had taken her away again,"
I whispered, still stood in the door.
"Come here baby,"
he smiled and shifted Amanda, giving me room to sit on his knee.
I
got curled up on his knee, a small child again. I rested my head on
his shoulder and sat curled up for a short time with him. If you'd
have walked in then, you'd have thought that Amanda was his baby, not
mine. She looked so happy.
She looked up at Dad with wide eyes;
"Grappa!" she yelled
"Aw Dad...Isn't that
cute?"
"GRAMA!" she pointed at mum
I smiled
"She likes you."
"Yeah I can see, come on you,"
he looked at Amanda "Time for bed I think, and you missy, you
can wake up that fiancé of yours...Or try to! He's been out
since you got here!"
I bit my lip, it scared me a little,
that Harry had been passed out for the last day, if he didn't wake
up today that would be 2 days.
I went upstairs and sat
down beside Harry. He was still sleeping peacefully, a smile on his
face.
I expected him to be exhausted, I mean, he had just
defeated Voldemort with my help. I was surprised that I was still
awake.
"Harry? Wake up baby," I whispered, gently
shaking him
Still Harry slept soundly on, not knowing what was
happening in the world.
"Please Harry," I sighed "You
have to get up soon...Please...,"
Still, nothing happened.
I sighed and then yawned. I was extremely tired still. I climbed
into bed beside Harry and closed my eyes, nuzzling up to him.
I don't know how long
I slept for, but I awoke to someone gently running their fingers
through my hair.
I nuzzled up close to Harry's body. I didn't
want to get up yet. I wanted to stay sleeping, and then I couldn't
continue to dream.
"Just a little longer Mum," I
mumbled
"Its not Mum," a male voice spoke up
"Ron?
Leave me alone I'm tired."
"Nope still wrong"
"Dad?"
"Nope!"
"Fred get the
hell outta my room now!" I grumbled sitting up ready to hit
Fred, and that was when I realized no one was there, the voice was
hot on my ear.
"Harry?"
"HARRY!" I
opened my eyes to see two green eyes staring at me.
"Hi
Ginny," Harry smiled, gently kissing my ear
"Harry!"
I threw my arms around him and held him tightly "Your awake!
Your here! Your alive!" I laughed with joy and kissed him.
"Yes
ok calm down, "grinned Harry as he held me tightly "I'm
here,"
"You're here...You really are...," I
started to cry all over again. It had finally sunk in now that he had
woken up that Harry was here.
"Yeah baby, I am here, for
good this ti...," Harry started
"Harry...Don't promise
that...Please...I couldn't bare it again!" I whimpered looking
down
"Ginny," Harry whispered into my ear, his breath
hot against my cheek.
I looked up at Harry.
"I won't
ever leave you...I promise you...and this time...I mean it,"
Harry whispered
I sniffed and Harry put his hands on my cheeks
and then gently kissed me, while my arms found their way around his
neck. From that moment on, I knew everything would be alright.
It was all a whirl the
next few months. We re organized the wedding for as soon as possible.
Harry and I never spent a minute away from our baby girl who was
growing up fast. She could now walk and say at least 10 words
including Mama, Dada, Grappa, Gram, Duck, Dog and Unk and Ant. Me and
Harry were so proud of her. Every night I said a silent prayer for
both my sons, wishing them love and a hug from Harry and me. At first
it was hard and I cried as I did, but now, it grew easier.
It was
the morning of the wedding now, and it was a full year after the
accident. When people discovered Voldemort had been vanquished, mass
joy rang out throughout the world. Harry and I tried to hide away,
but the mass reporters who knew we'd done it came to the house. It
sent us both into hiding for a while, but we managed it.
Here we
were, I was getting out of the limo with my Dad, and the ministry was
checking the church for any hexes. They'd checked the minister and
everything else, and now we're begging to leave.
