Usual Disclaimer: This world does not belong to me. I just borrowed it along with its inhabitants. Thanks J.K. for lending me your ready made world of magic.

AN: I know I know an inexplicably long wait for the last chapter but to tell the truth I completely forgot about it so now I've decided that despite the distinct lack of reviews for this story I might as well post the last, very short, chapter as there is no point leaving it without an ending. Do Enjoy!

"I think a 'welcome back to the present' is in order." Came a soft voice from an armchair in front of the fire and it was only then that Harry and Ginny looked up to find that they were not alone.

"Professor Dumbledore!" Ginny said in surprise and Harry hurriedly dried his eyes.

"Miss Weasley." The headmaster returned amicably. "Mr. Potter." He smiled at them both. "I take it the spell did not show you exactly what you wanted to see?"

"No not exactly..." Ginny replied hesitantly as she and Harry broke their embrace and instead stood side by side, hands clasped together tightly.

"It was not exactly what your father expected either Harry although it did somewhat cure his obsession with the passage of time." Dumbledore smiled. "I would very much like to hear what you did see, if you are willing to tell of course."

Harry and Ginny took seats across from the Headmaster finding it acutely strange to be sitting in the Gryffindor common room with him. They began to re-tell their experiences of the past the present and then of the future.

"It didn't show us what we wanted. It brought us back before I could find out the reason I cast the spell... We weren't there long enough to see if... if Voldemort was dead." Harry sighed. "It didn't show us anything significant."

"That may be true but there is a reason for that I promise you."

"You mean it pulled us back that soon on purpose?"

"Indeed. There is a lesson to be learned from this particular spell and you must learn it out as your father did. However I do hope it ha quenched your thirst to decipher the reasoning of Father Time." Dumbledore smiled mysteriously, his eyes sparkling and he rose from his armchair and left two bewildered students in their common room.

"Well if that wasn't weird." Ginny commented but Harry didn't seem to hear her as he pulled the Marauders guidebook towards him and found the time travelling spell once again.

"What lesson?" He muttered as he searched the pages for any hints of something else to do with his father's spell. "Why didn't it show us anything certain in our future?" Harry addressed nobody in particular. Ginny sat and watched as Harry searched his brain for reasoning and they sat in silence for what seemed like an age before harry looked up at his girlfriend.

"Because nothing is certain, the future could change tomorrow.." He voiced his realisation.

As he said it, more writing appeared on the page Harry's hand rested on giving them a cryptic message.

'Somebody once told me that only one person understood time and his teachings said this: Time and it's incomprehensible dimensions should not be toyed with for the consequences could drive a man to insanity. Though it must be remembered that while the past cannot be changed and so should not be dwelled upon, the present, well it could alter the future.'

Harry smiled as they read it and kissed Ginny softly.

"The future is ours for the making." He smiled and Ginny smiled back knowing that they were going to be truly happy because they wouldn't let it be any other way.
