Ten years

Hermione's POV

It has been 10 years since the end of the Golden Trio. 10 years since his death. 10 years since I turned my back on the only people I had left to call a family. And now I am going back to face the people I left so long ago.

My life is so different now; I am no longer the person I was then, the bookworm who was too afraid to be anything else, the brains behind the Trio.

After Ron's death I could not face his family, there were too many faces that reminded me of that fiery red head who captured my heart. But I couldn't run forever, eight months after leaving the Burrow for the last time my daughter, Melissa Jayne Weasley was born, (MJ for short). She is so like her father, with the same flaming red hair, and his sparkling blue eyes, not forgetting the famous Weasley appetite. At times I found it hard to raise her alone, her every saying or her little smile broke my heart as I saw my Ron looking out of her eyes. That's the reason I have to go back. MJ will get her letter to attend Hogwarts this summer and I know that Harry has gained the post of DADA teacher. When she enters Hogwarts she will meet many of the next generation of Weasley children. Even though MJ has heard all about the entire Weasley family they know nothing about her as I didn't have the courage to tell them I was going to have Ron's child.

MJ's surname will also cause problems as the Weasley's had no idea that Ron and I had secretly got married only days before the final battle. I know that it will not take Harry long to link her looks and personality together and work out who her mother and father are. Even though she has Ron's looks she acts exactly like me. By her third birthday she started to ask questions about why she didn't have a daddy like the other kids did, by age four she started to ask about her grandparents and I decided that I should tell her everything. She is now ten years old and reads everything that she can get her hands on. When I look at her I can see that she is going to be top of her class just like I was.

In ten minutes I will reunite what is left of the Golden Trio. In ten minutes I will go back to the family I left behind all those years ago. In ten minutes I will once again change my life forever.

Fred's POV

I was so shocked when I received her letter telling me that she would be bringing her daughter with her, and asking me if she could have a place to stay for a few days. I can remember the night she left as if it were yesterday:

Flashback

The entire Weasley family sat around the fire in the kitchen of the Burrow, it was unusually quite. Fred stood up and looked around the room only one of them was missing but it left a huge hole in there family. He looked over at Hermione and saw that she was no longer crying, she had run out of tears but the pain on her face was too much for him to bare he looked away, how could anyone make her smile the way Ron had done in there final year together. They had been so happy and Fred had been certain that Ron had been planning to propose, He was gone and now the will no longer be the Golden Trio.

At that moment Hermione stood and said " I need some fresh air" the rest of the Weasley's looked up but knew that this was Hermione's way of telling them she wanted to be alone. That night they were all awoken by a scream from Mrs Weasley. They all dived out of their beds to see what had happened. A look of dread filled Fred as he walked into the room where Hermione was supposed to be staying and his heart stopped when he saw the note in his mother's hands. He ran over and read the letter over her shoulder with the rest of his family:

To my family

I cannot stay with you as it breaks my heart every time I look at His brothers. I will miss you all and I will contact you as soon as I feel I can face you all again. I am sorry if I am causing you all pain by leaving but Ron meant too much to me and now that he is gone I do not think I can remain with his family. I want you all to remember that I love you all and that I will remember you no matter where I go. Please do not try to find me I will contact you when I am ready.

Forever yours

Hemione Granger Weasley

Fred had found it odd that she had signed it Weasley but he did not say anything he took the letter and looked at it closely it was tear stained and smudged but this only made him feel worse. He had never told her that he had loved her as well; He slipped the letter into his pocket and left for his flat.

End Flashback

Fred stared at the letter he had just received and wondered what had made Hermione contact him. Why hadn't she written to Harry or Ginny they had been her friends. He was confused and read over the letter once more before looking at the clock and realising that Hermione was due to arrive in ten minutes.

In ten minutes he was going to meet the girl of his dreams once more. In ten minutes he was going to find out why it had taken her ten years to return to him. In ten minutes his life was going to change forever.
