"Harry, are you alright?" Asked a nervous Professor Lupin.
'Merlin yes, I've never been better,' replied Harry as he stood up.
"Why?" Asked Harry.
Professor Lupin seemed to be looking Harry over as he said, "Everyone else has been back almost a half hour. You never returned. I had to remove you from the Weaver."
"You brought me back?"
"Yes, I was afraid something had gone wrong."
Harry was now becoming angry. He didn't get to see all that the Weaver wanted to show him.
"I was right in the middle of a very important part of my future, and then I'm wisked away. Send me back. I want to see what else there is." Harry's face was red from anger.
The other students in the class began to whisper amongst themselves.
"Harry, did you get to see much?" Asked Ron.
"Yes, but no more than you probably did."
"No, I only saw myself on a broom. The Weaver threw me out after that."
Harry was very confused. The Weaver had shown him a lot of things.
"Well surely someone else saw as much as I did."
As Harry looked around the class, he was shocked to see everyone nodding their heads no.
Harry turned his gaze to Professor Lupin.
"Harry, how many scenes did you see?"
"Well, counting the one that I was snatched from, I guess it was about 5 different scenes."
The class was in an uproar.
Harry looked to Ron and Hermione. Hermione's mouth was hanging open. Ron just sat in shock.
Hermione gathered her senses first.
"Harry, you were put into 5 possible futures?"
"Yes, Hermione. What's the big deal?"
Professor Lupin decided to join the conversation.
"Harry, its a big deal because no one has ever witnessed more than a few seconds of their future. Just enough to put them on the right track. Tell me, how long did your scene take?"
Harry looked shocked. He suddenly didn't want to tell them anything else.
"Professor, what is the big deal? So what, I saw a little more than most people." Harry smiled as he thought about everything he saw in the Weaver. "I did enjoy the experience, very much."
Professor Lupin watched the play of emotions run across Harry's face. He knew he didn't want to talk about his experience. He just hoped it was because he was in a room full of people.
The bell sounded. Class was dismissed.
'Harry, could you stay a little while longer, please?" Asked Professor Lupin as the rest of the class filed out. Ron and Hermione waved by to Harry. He knew they would corner him in the common room.
Lupin gestered toward a chair in front of his desk. Harry sat down and waited for Lupin to begin speaking.
"Ok Harry, what did you see through the Weaver? It's just you and I now."
Harry began to get nervous. He really didn't want to explain his feeling for Ginny now. He certainly didn't have any before he entered the Weaver. Or did he. Harry found himself lost in thought. He then realized Ginny had never been far from his mind. He knew that now.
"Harry, Harry!" Professor Lupin yelled at Harry.
"Who, what. Oh, sorry about that Moony."
"Were you thinking about what the Weaver showed you?"
"I saw a great many things." Harry said suddenly.
"Go on," urged Moony.
"Well, when I walked through the waterfall I appeared in my flat with Ron. He was giving grief about Ginny."
"Ginny?" Asked Moony with a smile on his face.
"Er Yeah. Well anyway, Ron was giving me grief because I was about the ask Ginny to marry me."
Moony's eyes lit up. "So, after that you went into the 2nd scene."
Harry looked up at Moony. "No, I actually went to the restaurant, met Ginny, asked her to marry me, and then went to the next scene."
"Amazing. The Weaver has never shown that much to any wizard or witch. What was the next scene?"
Harry squirmed a bit. "My wedding."
Moony's face broke out in a huge grin. "I take it you married Ginny."
"Yes. I was there for the entire wedding, reception, and wedding night." Harry's face was red from embarrassment as he spoke that last bit.
"Wedding night?" Asked Moon mischievously.
Harry sat up straight and looked Moony in the eye. "Yes, wedding night."
Moony knew not to kid Harry about this. He also knew the experience was very important. The Weaver had a reason to show Harry so much of his possible future.
"Ok, Harry. What was the next scene you went to?"
Harry took a deep breath to gather his thoughts. It was like he was reliving the experience in his mind all over again.
"The birth of my twin sons."
Moony's eyes grew wide. He was beginning to understand why the Weaver chose to show all of this to Harry.
"How did that feel Harry. What did you think when you looked upon your sons?"
"Not just sons. The next scene took me to my house when the twins were 6 years old. I had the most gorgeous daughter. She was about 3, her name was Lily. The twins names were Sirius and James. But what affected me the most was seeing Ginny, pregnant with my child again. She was in the kitchen, cooking dinner for our family."
"Just before you pulled me from the Weaver, I realized what I wanted most in the world was a loving family. Not just any family. I wanted a family that included Ginny, Sirius, James, Lily, and how ever many more children Ginny would give me. That will be my future, I'll make sure of that.
"It affected you that much, did it?" Asked Moony, but he saw the seriousness of Harry's face.
"You have no idea. I also came to another realization."
"Yeah, what's that?"
"Before going through the Weaver, I was still caught up with everything that happened during the war. I was still living in the past. Now, I have a future to live for, starting right now."
Harry stood up and pushed the chair he was sitting in to the side of the table.
"If that all Moony, I have to find my wife."
Moony raised his eyebrows. "Your wife."
Harry laughed. "Make no mistake, she will be my wife."
Moony watched Harry leave the room. He was happy for Harry. Harry had always yearned for a family. The Weaver showed him how he could achieve that.
Harry made his way to the common room. He took the stairs two at a time. Each step took him closer to Ginny.
As he stood in front of the Fat Lady trying to remember the password, the portrait opened and Ginny walked out.
"Oh, hello Harry. I almost ran into you there. "
Harry's face lit up when he saw her. He was holding his breath while thinking about how beautiful she was.
"Actually Ginny, I was looking for you."
Ginny looked at Harry strangely. "You were looking for me, why?"
Harry grabbed her hand and twined his fingers through hers. "Will you go with me to the Room of Requirement?"
"Why? Are you and Ron fighting or something?"
"No, we are not fighting. I need to talk with you about our future."
"Our future," asked Ginny softly.
"Yes, did you know that we are going to get married and have loads of children that look just like us?"
Ginny didn't know what to say. She was beginning to think her brothers were playing a prank on her.
"Ginny, I'm serious. Moony made us go through the Weaver of Life. I found out real quick that I didn't have a life if you weren't in it."
"Ron was talking about that. He said you were gone forever and Moony had to pull you back."
"Yeah, and I was sore about it," replied Harry.
"Why, they thought something had happened to you."
"I was sore because I was kissing my beautiful, red-headed wife, who was pregnant with my fourth child.
Ginny's mouth dropped open and she didn't know what to say.
"Fourth child!" That was all Ginny could manage to say.
Harry laughed. He knew he was shocking Ginny. He also knew he had to kiss her sooner than later.
"Yes, we had twin boys, Sirius and James. We also had a beautiful little girl named Lily. You were about 8 months pregnant when I was pulled away from you.
"And you saw this through the Weaver." Ginny asked.
"Not just that. I saw our wedding and the birth of the twins."
"Why are you telling me this, you don't have feelings for me. You never have." Ginny's anger finally took over.
"I didn't think I did either. Ginny, you have never been far from my thoughts. I didn't realize that I was in love with you. I know I'm a prat. But, I think I have been in love with you for a very long time. I just didn't want to acknowledge it."
"You love me?" Ginny was on the verge of tears.
Harry pulled her close to him. There body's touching as he leaned iinto her and whispered in her ear. "I love you more than life itself. I can't live without you."
He slowly lowered his lips to her trembling ones. He captured them in a passionate kiss. He never wanted to let her go.
"Cough, cough."
Harry reluctantly broke his kiss with Ginny and turned to find Ron and Hermione staring at them with their mouths hanging open.
"What are you staring at?" Harry asked.
Ron looked angry for a second, but shook his head and laughed. "Mate, I can't believe I walked up on you and my sister snogging in the hallway. Are you sick or something?"
Ginny turned red with anger towards her brother.
"For your information, I was kissing my husband who I have four children with." Huffed Ginny as she turned on her heel and left them standing there.
"Harry, what was that about?" Ron asked as he watched Ginny move out of sight.
"Sorry Ron, I've got to go after my wife. No way I'm ever sleeping on the couch."
With that said, Harry ran in the direction that Ginny took. He didn't look back, but if he had, he would have found a very confused Ron and Hermione.
