Love, Dreams, and re-tellings
Hermione knew that she would have to tell Ron about her decision. She caught up with him in the hallway before charms. She looked at him and said
"ROn, We need to talk." ROn knew what that meant.
"'Mione! WAit! Why do you want to talk? Haven't i been a good boyfriend to you? I could have sworn that you said that you loved me! I love you! Whats the matter?"
Hermione looked at him and just sighed. "I DO love you Ron! I love you more than anything! I just wanted to tell you that I don't think that tonights plans can go on. I know that I said that i would go all the way...but I don't know..I would much rather wait until we are out of Hogwarts!"
She looked up into his deep blue eyes.
He was momentarily stunned, but he eventually was able to regain enough of his mind to be able to say "Oh, I understand Hermione. I love you so much- i would never pressure you to do anything you aren' t ready to do...although I wouldn't mind being pressured..."
Hermione just laughed, a quiet laugh, but still a laugh. She took his hand in hers and they walked into the classroom.
After classes had finished for the day, Ginny walked over to the gargoyle to the Headmaster's office and climbed the stairs that appeared. When she reached the top, she found the door locked, but there was a note attached to the door by magic. It was in Dumbledore's small , neat handwriting.
Miss Weasley,
I sm so very sorry that I am not able to go over that diary any further , but the minister wishes to see me about some odd gnomes that are in the grounds.
Wishing you well
Headmaster Albus Percival Wolfric brian Dumbledore
Ginny pulled the note off the door and turned around.
She started down the stairs and when she exited onto the grand staircase, she felt oddly tired. She hoped that sitting by the lake would wake her up. She loved to sit under the oak tree and watch the giant squid swim lazily about. The day was different from yesterday, it was warm and sunny, with a slight breeze.
Ginny sat down and started to scketch the lake on a pad that she had pulled from her bag. She heard someone come up behind her, she pulled out her wand and whirled around.
"Whatch where you point that thing Gin! I don't think that it would sound very good if Harry Potter was attacked by his own girlfriend!"
Ginny put her wand down and blushed. "Sorry...I was just...well, I was alone and malfoy was saying that he was going to make me pay for something..."
Harry grabbed her hands. They sat down together and harry put his arm around her waist. She laened into hm and put her head on his chest. He kissed the top of her head and the two of them sat in happy silence.
Later that night, Ron was alone in the dormitory again. Neville had gotten trapped in the astronomy tower and would be able to get out in the morning. Dean had said that he was going...somehwere...
Ron guessed that it meant the 3rd floor broom closet, which was the largest, with Lavender.
Seamus and Harry were going to try to stake out the quidditch pitch to see if the slytherins were the one's who were enchanting the gryffindor side each night.
"I don't see why they do it when the bloody season's practices are three hours a day anyways." Ron had grumbled when Harry had said where he was going. Ron wasn't any closer to sleep then he had been when he woke up.
Over in the girls dormitory, hermione was also unable to sleep.She decided that she might as well go see Ron, although she guessed that he was asleep.
When she walked into the room, Ron sat up and pulled out his wand. Hermione walked into the light shed by his lumos spell.
Ron saw her and grinned. She decided that she might as well get on with he plan as long as he had seen her. She walked over to his bed and pulled the curtains shut. When all the curtains were closed she slowly took of every sich of clothing she was wearing.
Ron looked startled at first, but then followed her lead, pulling off the boxers he was wearing. Hermione got under the covers, she laid back and closed her eyes, sighing in comfort. Ron laid back and put his arm around hermione. Hermione laid her head on his chest. She could hear his heart beating, and was very content. Ron sat up and Hermione did so too. Ron cupped her face in his hands and started kissing her. They were soon snogging heavily. Hermione ran her tounge along Ron's. Ron moaned almost inaudibly.
Hermione put her hand on Ron's. She started to lift his hand. She brought it up to one of her breasts and put his hand on it. Ron cupped his hand to match the curve of her breast, but nothing more. After about 20 minutes of heavy snogging, Ron laid back on the pillows. hermione fell abck with him and laid her head against his arm. She smiled and kissed his cheek softly.
"I love you Hermione Jane Granger!" ROn said into her ear.
Hermione smiled "I love you to Ronald Weasley." She replied.
They fell asleep in eachother's arms, happier than even inside their curtain "room".
Ron, who was sleeping soundly was totally oblivious to the charm that Hermione had cast earlier, and thought that the dream that he was about to dream was just an ordinary dream. Hermione knew that the dream she was having was going to be the same one Ron was going to have, because she had made sure that they would share the dream when she had made the charm up.
Hermione stood on the sidewalk of platform 9 3/4, Rons hand in hers. They watched as a girl of about 11 with bushy brown hair and deep blue eyes hugged her father and then came over to her.
"Bye mum!" Hermione looked down at the girl, somehow knwoing that her name was jenna.
"Bye Jenna, have a great time at hogwarts!"
Jenna looked at her mum and dad.
"Do you think that there is a guy at school for me?" She whispered to hermione. "oh, well, you will see, but let me tell you, he might not realize that you like him until your 6th year! Thats what happened with...your father and I."
The gril grinned and hugged her mother. Then she ran to get onto the train. hermione watched with tears in her eyes as she watched her daughter go around the bend in the scarlet steam engine bound for the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Ron and her exited through the barrier into muggle london. They walked to the parking lot, where they found their car, somehow knowing that the sleek black mercedes was theirs somehow.
Ron attomatically knew exactly where they lived. They drove into a small neighborhood where several homes were situated in a beautiful forested lake setting. They parked the car in front of a georgeous two- story victorian home.
When they entered the door, Hermione gasped as she looked at her home. She wondered if this was really going to be her future home.
'but how far in the future' she wondered.
She looked around and found a newspaper. It was entitled 'The Daily Post'. She looked at the date, it was some 24 years into the future. She glanced down at her hands. She saw that, on her left hand she sported 2 rings. One was obviously an engagement ring, while the other one seemed jsut like an aniversarry ring or something. She smiled, she knew that it was only just a dream, but she wanted to savor it forever. Ron, walked in, looking stunned. He knew that it was a dream, but from the way he was looking at her, she knew that he thought that she was also part of the drream.
"Um...hermione...was that..um...our daughter?" Hermione smiled
"yes, isn't she lovely?"
Ron nodded and looked around once again. Hermione looked at the wall and saw a certifacate of marriage thet showed both her and ROn's names and a date some 8 years into the future from where they were out of the dream.
"We get married in 8 years!" She said in happiness.
"Wha?" ROn asked, looking very very confused indeed.
"Oh, Ron were dreaming. you and i are sharing this dream."
Ron , who was still looking confused, managed a smile and started up the stairs. Hermione followed, looking into every room. Ron was in what had to be the master bedroom, looking around in wonder. Hermione walked past him and into another room. it was obiously her daughter's room. The room at the end of the hall was one that surprised hermione.
She saw that there were two beds in the room. Each half of the room was totally different, on ewas pink and had stuffed animals and brabie dolls all over the floor, while the other was covered in legos and action figures. Hermione knew that this room could only mean one thing
'Twins! I have twins!"
She smiled, knowing that the weasley gene must be continuing on again. She heard the doorbell ring and went to answer it. She opened the door to an older woman who had two children by the hands.
"Here you go Mrs. Weasley, here are Kelan and Tara, all back from their first day of kindergarden!"
Hermione smiled and hugged both of her children.
"Thank you Mrs. Tyler." The two children said in usison.
When Mrs.Tyler left, hermione took a closer look at her children.
Kelan was a red head with some of the curliest hair hermione had ever seen on a 5 year old. He was wearing a shirt that had a picture of some muggle movie character on it, and was smiling so widley, showing of the gap where one of his bottom teeth should be. His sister was jsut like a girl vesion of her brother, the same red curly hair, the same dark brown eyes and the same wide smile, but hers had all of the teeth in it.
She was wearing a blue dress that looked very pretty with her red hair, her hair was pulled out of her face by a ribbon and she had on what looked like shimy new white shoes.
"Mummy!" Tara said happily , giving hermione another hug.
The boy looked around.
"Wheres Jenna?" he asked, when hermione explained about jenna going off to school, he looked very put out.
"Jenna said that she would be able to say buh bye to be!" He whined.
"Kelan, she left you a surprise in your room!" Hermione said, remembering the two packages on both of the twins' beds
" Mummy, wheres Daddy?" Tara asked, looking around for Ron.
Hermione stood up and looked up the stairs.
"Ron! Get down here please!" She yelled
Ron cam down the stairs and the two children ran at him. each on trying to get to ROn first.
"Wow...twins." He muttered as he picked up both of his kids and spun them in a circle.
The clock on the wall chimed noon, and the dream faded. Hermione came to 'consiousness' at the sound of ROn's watch beeping midnight.
"ROn..." She whispered, looking over at ron
. ROn had a huge smile on his face and he turned to face his girlfriend. "Hermione..I want that dream to come true..i really do!" Hermione kissed him
"oh! I do too Ron! It would be so amazing!" ROn smiled at her
"only 8 years." She laid back on the pillows and smiled, "only 8 years..."She fell asleep again, with a smile on her face and Ron's hand in hers.

When morning came, all of the boys, besides Neville, were in their own beds. Hermione snuck out of the dorm without waking any of the guys.
She hurried to her dormitory and pretended to be reading a book on the dangers of improperly used spells.
Ginny was the next to awaken of the 6th year girls. Ginny had had a dream about what it would be like had she not gone into 6th year instead. Ginny wanted to tell HErmione all about the dream she had yesterday. She went over and sat down on Hermione's bed.
"You will not believe the dream I had the other day!" She said quickly.
"Tell me!" Hermione said , smiling.
"Ok- so harry and I are getting ready to start the preperations for our wedding. I am addressing this MASSIVE stack of invites in an even more massive house! There is this picture on the wall of a family- HARRY's family! They are alive! He has a sister! And, the best part is.. There is NO voldemort!"
Hermione looked happy but stunned. "You said his name! you never say his name! And..you mean that its' pretty much a perfect world. Love, FAmily, and No Tom Riddle?"
"um...well, Tom Riddle is there..He's really nice though! he marries Moaning Myrtle!"
"Wow! We should tell Myrtle!" Hermione said, giggling.
Ginny giggled along with Hermione. "Tell me about your dreams!"
"alright! In the first one its Ron and I getting married. It is sooooo romantic! We are getting married in December..i can alredy see it! All of the guests are under heated cover, but the aisle is open so that the snow can gently fall. Then the whole alter area is covered, ecxpet for where ron And I would stand- so that The snow can be falling around us as we make our vows. You and Harry are already married in my dream though! In the dream i had last night- Ron and I have a daughter and twins! I love how that dream happened! We have a good amount of maney and we live int his great neighborhood in Muggle London. I want to try to combine those two dreams to make my future that way!"
Ginny grinned ""I can't wait to be an aunt! It will be soo cool!"
"Well, you should be and aunt soon! with Bill marrying Fluer and all." "yeah...yeah" Ginny looked thoughtful.
"i can't wait to have children of my own!" Hermione looked a bit embarrassed "yeah... you with harry and me with...um..."
"my older brother! dont' worry I think that it is sooo cool!" Hermione smiled reaqlly widely and then looked down at her hands, imagining rings on her left ring finger. The conversation ended without either girl rally noticing. The girls stood up and started to walk towards the grand stair case and breakfast.
"So...Hermione, what are your kids' names anyways?"
"oh, Jenna, Kelan , and Tara."
"How sweet!"
Hermione grinned and opened the door of the great hall.
When Ron awoke, he noticed that the bed he was in was somehow very empty. He looked around. He saw that Harry was putting his school robes on and that Seamus, like Ron, was just waking up.
Dean was already out of the room, and Neville wasn't anywhere to be seen. After Ron had finished getting dressed he thought about last night's dream. He knew that there wasn't going to be anyone to stop him from making that dream a reality.
Harry watched as Ron looked around the room and then , as if he was moving on auto pilot, walked out the door and down the stairs.
Harry followed him, wondering what was wrong with Ron. He saw Ron go into the great hall and sit down next to hermione.
Harry guessed what had happened the night before. He wasn't right about that though- Ron and Hermione had decided not to do that, but Harry didn't know that. Harry was jealous. He had wanted to do that with Ginny, he really had, so he had to make a new plan so that he and Ginny could prove their love.
