So this post is for Carly bringing with it the news that's there's only 10 more chapters of Choices and then you get the Quidditch one okay, so you can stop asking now!
Finally Potter
Chapter eleven
"Want a game of chess Harry?"
Ginny suddenly lost the mans attention as he turned to her brother and then looked back at her with a pleading look in his eyes.
"Oh go on, go play chess I want to talk to Hermione anyway."
He gave her one of his cheeky grins before leaning in and gently kissing her cheek. He was then gone into the living room with Ron and their game started. Hermione sat down at the table gently bringing her mug of tea with her.
"You okay Gin?"
"Yeah I've just had one hell of a day."
"Oh and of course you can't talk about it since you're an unspeakable."
"Maybe this once I can, I spoke to Remus but I think I need some girly conversation."
Ginny was glad when Hermione smiled. The woman was tired it was easy to see that much but she never allowed that to get in the way, she had never allowed tiredness to get in the way of a job that needed doing and Ginny had fashioned herself on her friend.
"Do you remember that night in fourth year, oh well fifth year for you?"
"When we snuck out of school, travelled to London and then broke into the ministry and ran around your department."
"Yep, do you remember the room right before the Prophecy one?"
Hermione had closed her eyes and her forehead was scrunched up. Ginny watched her for a moment as she reached back to the memories that they had all tried to bury tried to forget. Then her eyes opened and brown met brown and the older woman nodded.
"The room with all the hourglasses."
"Yeah, we call it the time room. Once every month we all take turns to sit in that room and stare at the hourglasses and our memories are brought to the surface."
"It makes you remember the past!"
"Yeah but what you see depends on how you are feeling and well I saw the battle and it just gave me that funny feeling in the pit of my stomach. It was like I was reliving it, I watched Ron fall and part of me knew he'd be fine since he's still alive but that panic that he was going to die was still there."
"I know how you feel, I still have nightmares. Ron doesn't realise it but only last night did I wake up in a cold sweat because I'd dreamt of the battle, I watched as those around me fell to their final fate and I always wake up as the spell goes flying at Ron. I had to check yesterday that he was still lying next to me, I thought that I was seeing things that he was dead and my mind just wanted me to see him there."
Ginny hugged her friend and then smiled.
"I had another vision though."
Hermione looked up at her.
"What was it?"
"Harry proposing, I was late leaving work because I got so caught up in it."
"How did he propose again?"
"He took me to a muggle restaurant then to Kings Cross and took me to the barrier onto the platform and proposed there because it was the place where he first saw me."
"That's so romantic, I wish he had taught Ron a thing or too."
"Why? What did he do?"
"He sat at this very table one night and just looked at me and said, we're getting married."
"He did what?"
"Yeah he looked at me and said we were getting married and then he pulled out the ring and put it on my finger. He didn't ask me he told me."
"Oh that's so romantic."
"Men!"
They laughed and Ginny got up and made another pot of tea. Once it boiled she poured two cups and went back to her seat.
"Hermione there's something else I want to ask you."
"What?"
"Today we received a new prophecy. It was given by someone named Brenda Tamara Michael."
"Mad Brenda no way she actually got a prophecy."
"Hermione, you were the witness to it, and the only reason I'm mentioning this is because well it was about Harry and me, that's what it says on the prophecy ball."
"Oh Ginny I don't remember."
"Please try Hermione."
Ginny took a sip of her tea while Hermione closed her eyes yet again and she shrugged.
"I think she mentioned children but I just shrugged that off. I'm sorry I really can't remember."
Ginny looked at her friend and smiled nodding slowly.
"I understand no worries. I think I better head off home it's late."
She stood hugging her friend as they both yawned and then headed into the living room to find her brother and fiancé locked on the game neither one seemed to notice her and she quickly tapped Harry's shoulder. He turned to her and grinned.
"I'm off home. Don't forget that we're going to look at the wedding places tomorrow, I'll be round by ten o'clock."
With that said she kissed him gently before giving Ron a kiss on the cheek and disappeared off home.
Okay so again not that much but the prophecy that's been added well that's the last you'll see of it in this story. I know Hermione is the sort of person that is unlikely to forget but she doesn't believe them a hundred percent and the prophecy is actually important for the third part of this story not this one.
