HUNTED BY MEMORIES

20 YEARS LATER.

CHAPTER 1: TIME TO FACE THE PAST

Ron Weasley had another dream, but this time its much more strange than usual. He dreamt of his sister Ginny, and this time it was more alive and her voice was more complicated than usual. Ron started to dream about Ginny since the war ended. She always visits him on his dreams. It's been 20 years now since they read they little announcement on the Daily Prophet but he was still-hunted by Ginny's memories.

After they found out that she have died during the war, all her belongings have been burnt. It was their father's suggestions. They felt terrible about it, knowing that Ginny had died without even asking their forgiveness from her.

If there is one person who felt sorry about her, it was Ron. He felt so bad about it; especially that he was the one who overreacted about his sister's relationship to Draco Malfoy. After all those years her voice was still on his head. Ron has kept Ginny's dairy, as the last remembrance from her. Nobody even knows that he have it. He stood from the bed and searched the drawer beside their bed. He glanced up to Hermoine making sure that she was sleeping, and he was relived to see that she is drowned on her sleep. He opened the drawer and took out the dairy.

Ginny's dairy was not just an ordinary diary; it was more to say a scrapbook. It contained a lot of little memoirs of her life. There are some pictures on it. Ron flip the first page, it was rather a thick dairy. Ginny started writing on it since her third year till the day she disappeared together with Draco. It has a lot of information on it, but somehow there's no single information where they planned to hide. Ron started to read the dairy randomly:

Dear Dairy,

Draco and I are now officially going out. I was so happy; I was never loved by any man before. And to make the situation more complicated he was a Draco Malfoy, he's a Slytherin and our families have been enemies for ages. But he doesn't care, I love him and I'll do anything for him. Crabbe, Goyle and Pansy are happy for both of us and they even teased us that they will pay for our next date. Ron was so mad he nearly trued to kill Draco and he threatened me that he will disown me. Hermoine never even tried to control him. On the other hand Harry was as mad as Ron. How could they do this to me? Aren't they glad that Im finally happy with Draco. With Draco I felt so secure, he showed me something that they failed to show it to me.


Dear Dairy,

I'm now Virginia Weasley Malfoy. Draco and I got secretly married; Pansy, Gregory and Vincent are our witnesses. I was so happy. The wizard who married us put drops of our blood into a vial and we are supposed to keep it. I have my own vial, and so with Draco and the other one is for the record of our marriage. We are now bonded to each other, and no one can take us apart.

Ron wiped the tears from his eye. It's been 20 years now since Ginny died. And has still regrets; if he has accepted Ginny's relationship to Draco none of this happened. Maybe she was still alive. When the war was over they never retrieved her body, more to say her body have been burnt on the battlefield. But to much everybody's surprise her diary has been enchanted with powerful magic that it will going to last a hundred years. They tried to burn the dairy but they are unsuccessful, until one night her dairy disappeared. Little did they know Ron steeled it from his father's safe. They never even retrieved any of Draco's belonging. A man from the minister told them that the only thing left from their corpse is their weeding band.

"How's your sleep?" Hermoine asked Ron during breakfast while she was serving a breakfast for her family.

"Its okay" replied Ron while he was reading a newspaper.

"Dad when are we going to Diagon Alley" asked Reigh, their 16-year-old daughter. She looked exactly like Hermoine only the difference is she has a typical Weasley hair.

"Ask your mom about that" Ron replied.

"But dad we don't have time for shopping, you promised us to take us to the Quidditch World Cup" whined John, their 17-year-old son who looked like exactly like Ron.

"Guys don't worry about your school stuff I already ordered it, all I have to do is to picked it up" said Hermoine.

Ron picked up another newspaper to read; this time it was a national muggle newspaper. It was then a certain article caught his attention:

Derek McBride, number one Hollywood producer and also a big time director announced to the media last night they are planning to settle in for good in London. As everyone knows McBride's producing career is still on the limelight for 15 years now. The reason why they decided to settle in London for good is because his wife Valerie McBride has been assigned in London for her job. Valerie has been the author of many best selling novel over the years, and also currently working on the United Nations. Their twins Jet and Destiny somehow pleased to stay in London and they even declared that they will never going miss their home in Los Angeles. "It seems that the kids love to the ides for settling here for good, after years of convincing me to move here in London" Derek McBride said to the media last night.

"Hon have you heard the name Derek McBride before?" asked Ron to Hermoine. She looked at him.

"Why on sudden interest of a muggle producer?" asked Hermoine.

"Nothing, its just seem that the name sound familiar" said Ron.

"Of course it is familiar, McBride is the number one producer in Hollywood for more than 15 years now" said Hermoine. Ron just stared at the paper, trying to find more information about McBride but it seems that it was a little bit of more confidential. Worst of all there's no picture of him on the papers.

Jet McBride and Destiny McBride are not ordinary teenager. They are have magical talent. That's the reason they got accepted in Atlantis Academy of Magic. It was the biggest wizard school all over America. They are talented young wizard.

Destiny sometimes wondered if one of their parents is a wizard. But she knows that before she can have the courage to ask her mom and dad she knows that the answer is no. Her teachers from their school told her and to Jet that both of them have unbelievable talent in magic. They said that it they have unique talent in magic that only pure blood wizard can do it. That made her ponder that maybe one of their parents is a wizard. Of course she knew that it's impossible since her parents are muggle born and somehow they are not even interested in magic.

Jet laughed at Destiny's idea about their parents. He told her that it was impossible since their father is a Hollywood producer and their mother is a best selling author of over a hundred books. And he added that they asking about their parents past are something that they don't want to discuss.

Valerie stop doing her paperwork from her laptop when she heard her husband and the kids voice coming in from the front door. She stood up and went to the living room. Destiny and Jet seems laughing at their father and Derek doesn't mind at all.

"I can see that your happy, I thought you'll buy your school stuff, how come you don't have any single bag with you" Valerie asked, while she went to Derek and Derek gave her a soft kiss on the cheek.

"You don't believe what happened Mom!" said Jet.

"Well we went to Diagon Alley, you know it's where British wizards buy their stuff. And you know, we went to the bank to exchange some wizard's money. And dad had a little argument with one of those goblins because they wont accept his credit card" said Destiny.

"And dad was like 'we do that in America, how come you don't do that here?' and the goblin answered 'Sir this is not America, this is England'" said Jet. Valerie shook her head, and controlling her self not to laugh.

"That's not nice you know" she said "By the way dinner is ready," she said and Destiny and Jet hurried to the dining room. And the couple followed their children into the dining room.

Harry Potter and Cho Chang have been married for 18 years now. They have four children. James, their first child is 17 years old. Next to him was Clarice, who's just a year younger to James. And their child is Harriett who's two years younger than Clarice. All of them of course go to Hogwarts. Except for Jonathan who received a full scholarship in Bauxbatton Academy and he is just a year younger than Harriett.

Harry owns a big Quidditch franchise team, and his wife Cho is the team captain of that team. Life with Cho was perfect over the years. They live in the neighborhood not far from the Hogsmeade village. After the war wizards built a housing area there. Ron and Hermoine lived there too. The family is eating dinner when the telephone rang. Harry stood up to pick up the call and four pair of eyes followed him.

"Hello. oh Ron, yeah.I think I have to ask the children about that.okay.but I don't think so.okay I'll let them know.okay." and he hang up.

"What is it dad?" all his children ask him in unison.

"Your uncle Ron was asking me if you we would like to go to a movie together tomorrow" said Harry.

"Can we dad?" asked James.

"The team has a practice tomorrow, I don't know if I could come"

"But dad, we can just go without you!" protested Harriett.

"Let them go, Harry" it was Cho. Harry look at her and the children look at him with a pleading look.

"Okay, you could go. I'll call Ron back after dinner" he said which made them smile.

"Are you sure they are Pansy?" asked Oliver Wood to his wife Pansy Parkinson.

"I'm sure they are Oliver" replied Pansy.

"Are you going to inform Crabbe and Goyle about it?" he asks again.

"Vincent knows about it, all I have to do is to inform Gregory. So here's the plan. We'll go and visit them. But please treat him nice. I haven't seen them for 20 years now. And call them Valerie and Derek okay" she said.

"Of course hon, I will. 20 years is long enough for a person to change" he said as he kiss his wife on her lips.

Later that night Valerie and Derek are on their bed.

"It's about time to face the past" Valerie said to her husband.

"Its been 20 years, do you think they still remember us?" asked Derek.

"I told you they will as long as one of them never tried to forget us" she said as they drifted off to sleep.
