CHAPTER III

"After the funeral we went to go get stuff go to the Dursley's. We had to go to Hermione's house but she made us stop by the Order.And that's when we met Nixxy. Nixxy is Remus' daughter. And you told me later that was the most beautiful girl you had ever seen. Well she came with us to the Dursley's. And she kept us sane, I swear. She handled like a pro! Then afterwards we went to Bill's wedding. Nixxy was dating Gorge back then. But they ended up being friends instead. Then we went away. We went to Godric's Hollow. Where Nixxy happened to live. From there we faught the war. About a two years later we faught that final battle. You gave orders to the Order and DA, who were working with us sense the beginning. Then you told everyone good bye just in case. You turned to Hermione and hugged and kissed her. Then me and you hugged. Then you turned to her and kissed her. Something you had never done before. I won't forget the look on her face when you did that. At first it was pure shock and then she got into it. After you won…You started to date. A year later you proposed to her. Hermione and I are married by the way. You live in Godric's Hollow. Hermione and I live with you. You were married only two months ago. Hermione and I were married four."

"You two are MARRIED?" Harry wasn't totally shocked by this, but at the same time it hurt his brain even more. "How old are we?"

"You'll be twenty-two next month. And Nixxy will be twenty-two in November." Harry sat quietly for a few moments. Everything was just so confusing! Why couldn't he remember anything about his life beyond Dumbledore's funeral? Harry started to wonder about his other friends and old mates. Wondering if they even still breathing. And if not, why not? Were all the Weasleys still alive? What had happened to Ginny? And Luna? And Neville? And everyone else? All these questions swirled in his head, unable to choose which to ask first. But at that moment Nixxy and Hermione walked back into the room.

"Where are we?" Asked Harry

"In the Caribbean. Beautiful isn't it? View is even better on the beach." Answered Nixxy. Hermione started for the other door.

"Come on everyone! It's BEAUTIFUL outside! Lets get our suits on and have some fun!"

"Yeah ok. We'll meet u two outside." Ron said. Nixxy turned from the closet between the door and TV and towards Ron.

"Make sure you two actually show up in the next hour please!" Those three laughed but Harry remained silent on the bed. Hermione and Ron left the room. Nixxy dug in the closet for a few moments and came back out with two suits. One was a pair of swim trunks that she tossed at Harry. Then other was a bikini top and boy-shorts. She started to take off her shirt. Harry turned from her, not wanting to be rude, watching a girl he didn't know. Although to her it wasn't a big deal. I mean, she was married to him after all. Harry rolled off the bed and started to undress. But he couldn't help himself. He had to take a peek at her. In her clothes she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. In here bikini she was a GODESS! Despite his efforts he became…excited. She turned to him as her pulled up her boy-shorts.

"What?" The look on her face asked 'is there something wrong with how I look?' But she didn't say it out loud.

"Nothing. Its just-never mind." Harry broke off.

"No, really. What is it?" She was really curious.

"Its just that umm….Well you're the most beautiful woman I have EVER seen." Harry blushed and looked down at his feet. He took off his shirt. Nixxy giggled.

"You're blushing! AWW! That's so sweet love!" She stopped laughing. Nixxy looked very serious. "You know, you tell me that about everyday. But you haven't blushed in years." There was a silence that fell over them. To Harry they were strangers. To Nixxy they knew each other better than anyone else is history. How very confusing. The wind shifted through the open window. Harry smelled something so sweet. It reminded him of one of the smells he smelled back in Slughorn's class. It was a flowery smell. But Harry couldn't name the flower for the life of him.

"This might sound weird but…what kind of perfume do you wear?" Nixxy laughed again. And again it was music to Harry's ears.

"You know what? It is weird but whats even weirder is that was the samething you asked me when we first met! I don't wear perfume, but the smell is Tiger Lily. Its in my shampoo! And by the way, Ginny use to wear it as a perfume too." They both laughed at this weird little thing. Everything seemed to loose that tense edge and became more comfortable. "Come on. Lets go to the beach." And with that they walked out the glass window and off their porch. And on to the beach.
