Chapter Six: A blast from the future

Ron slowly began to tell her everything, beginning with her love story with James. When he mentioned James' name, she winced but Ron put up his hand asking her not to interrupt him. He then continued to the story of how she and James will become head girl and head boy. Ron suddenly stopped with tears forming in his eyes, as he looked up to Lily. He couldn't continue, how could he tell her? It will break her heart, maybe she won't marry James and maybe she will leave the magical world and live as a muggle.

Lily stared at him, grasping the information he was providing her. What the bloody hell was happening to her? How could she love Potter? How could he become a head boy? He was not even a prefect. Suddenly the boy stopped and was staring at her with tears in his eyes.

"What happened?" She asked him, concerned as tears started to roll down his cheeks.

"What I am about to say may cause a serious problem, I think I should not have said anything." He said looking down, unable to face her.

"Come on, I promised I would oblivate myself." She said grabbing his hands and squeezing them.

"What if you don't, I don't even have my wand. How could not I stop you?" He asked frightened.

"Please trust me.'' Lily mumbled taking his face in his hands and looking at him closely.

Ron stared at her, at her beautiful green eyes. "Mrs. Potter." He said for the first time.

"What did you call me?" Lily asked bewildered backing away from him.

"Mrs. Potter, you married James Potter and gave birth to a son called Harry." Ron said to her, waiting for her reaction.

Lily couldn't believe what she was hearing, it was one thing falling in love with Potter but marrying him and giving birth to a child. Not in her dreams, she imagined marrying Potter. He always had a thing for her, he was true indeed but she didn't have anything to do with him except hate him. Was it hatred that she had for or was it something else? Has she fallen in love with him unknowingly? No that could never happen. Can it? There were hundreds of questions going on inside her head.

''Mrs. Potter, are you alright?" Ron asked, now it was his turn to comfort her. After all she was his best friend's mom.

"Don't call me that." She said wincing as Ron came close to her.

"Sorry, it is just you are my best friend's mum." Ron said to her slowly.

"You are friends with my son?" She asked, her face brightening up.

"Yes, Mrs. - I am sorry, Lily." He said trying to smile at her.

"How does he look? Like me or like." She couldn't continue.

"He looks exactly like James except for his eyes." He said.

"He has my eyes." Lily completed his sentence.

"Exactly, that is why you are eyes are mesmerizing." He said as he began to slowly pull out his cell phone from his pocket.

"What is this?" Lily asked looking at it weirdly.

"This is cell phone or a mobile phone. It's like a telephone but you can carry it anywhere you want. You can talk to people; take pictures and videos and also video chat with them. Hermione taught me how to use it.

"Who is Hermione?"

"I am sorry, she is mine and Harry's other best friend and I kind of married her." Ron said shyly.

"Congratulations." She replied punching him playfully.

Ron turned red in color when she congratulated him.

"I have seen this before. Oh yes, you are indeed Arthur's son." Lily said excited.

Ron opened the gallery in his phone and pulled up a photo of the Potters. He slowly and carefully showed it to Lily.

Lily carefully took the device in her hands as if it was something fragile and looked at the picture of a family. There were five of them, a father, mother, two sons and a daughter. The father resembled exactly like James except for his eyes and the mother looked like Molly but had red hair. Two sons resembled their father, the younger one a little more than the elder and had her green eyes too. The daughter looked exactly like Lily with her flaming red head but had blue eyes. Tears rolled down Lily's eyes as she looked at the picture. She slowly looked up at Ron and asked."Are they my?" She asked smiling at him.

"They are indeed you are grandchildren and she is your daughter in law, my sister." He said proudly.

"So my son nailed his best friend's sister, huh?" She asked winking at him.

"He kind of did and I nailed our best friend." He said winking back at her.

''So tell me more, what happened next? How many more children, did we have?" Lily bombarded him with questions.

How could he tell her that Harry was her only son? How could he tell her that Voldemort killed her and James and tried to kill Harry? How could he tell her that Peter, their best friend had betrayed them?

This was going to be tougher that he thought. Who said Ron Weasley had a emotion of a tea spoon. He was the glue that held the group together.
