Future

Chapter 8:Setting Ron Straight

Harry had been looking all over for Ron for about a half hour. He went back to the common room and saw the red haired boy sitting in a chair infront of the fire. Harry walked over silently and stood over Ron who had yet to notice he was there,and gazed down at him. "Ron,we need to talk." He said,glaring at the prying eyes of Lavender Brown(who just happened to be Ron's ex -girlfriend and Pavarti Patil). Lavender and Parvarti quickly turned away from the scene while still eavesdropping obviously. With an impatient sigh Harry grabbed one of Ron's arms with his hand firmly and pulled Ron out of his chair and torwards where he knew the Head dorms and commonroom where. He stood outside a portrait of a deer drinking from a lake at night,then looking up and staring and he said the password "SPEW' and then pulled Ron into the comfortable room. "Ron! What was that all about?"

"I don't know what you mean." Ron said innocently,crossing his long arms over his chest.

"Don't give me that Ron! You do so! Why didn't you talk to your kids? How can you not believe that they are yours? Why where you such a prat torwards them? Hermione and I trust them so why don't you?"

"Piss off!" Ron muttered loudly as he walked past Harry torwards the dorm. Harry's eyes lit up like an emerald fire and he grabbed Ron by the back of his shirt roughly and tossed him onto the couch.

Ron glared at Harry,the tips of his ears turning red in anger. He stood up abruptly,towering over Harry by about six inches. Harry stared back with just as much anger as Ron was showing at the moment.

"Harry, Percy deserted the family,Snape betrayed Dumbedore and he is a Hogwarts teacher,Mione almost died during the summer when we went Horcrux hunting. How am I supposed to trust them? Anyone can be a deatheater!" Ron explained,looking down at his large feet.

"Look,I know what you mean. I didn't believe them at first either but I promise that you CAN trust them. They are yours and Hermione's daughter and son and my godchildren. So apologize to them!" Harry said exasperatedly.

Ron smiled at that and said,"They are my children aren't they?"

Harry finally smiled at the fact that his friend was coming around and said, "Yes. and your daugter is s much like Hermione it's scary. Your son is brilliant like Hermione but he looks and acts like you. You should be proud of them Ron."

Ron swallowed and said,"Harry? I am sorry for being such a prat. I didn't mean it. It's just..."

Harry laughed and said,"Your temper. I know,but Ron? I'm not the one you need to apologize to.

Meanwhile in the library,Hermione was sitting at the table Alexandria and Harry Arthur had been at,with them on either side of her. Lexi was still sniffling quietly over the books spread out on the worn,wooden table.

"How did you two get here in my time anyway?" Hermione asked,looking at the two redheads beside her curiously.

Alexandria looked up,smiling widely. Wiping the tears from her dark eyes she giggled softly and said to her mother,"I was in my room reading Pride and Prejudice when Harry came in. We where out of school for the summer and I still had this timeturner that I had gotten the previous school year. Harry picked up my timeturner and started playing with it. I ran over to stop him and he kept holding it above his head so I couldn't get it. I tripped over the rug in my room and accidentally knocked the timeturner from his hand and it broke. You and daddy walked into the room to late."

Hermione snorted softly. "Figures the son I had with Ron would do something like that." she said amusedly.

"Hey!" Harry Arthur exclaimed,pretending to be offended but he was smiling and as Lexi and their mother began to laugh more loudly he joined in.

Sobering quickly,Hermione looked at her children again and asked in a wavering,terrified sounding voice,"Does Harry defeat Voldemort?"

Alexandria and Harry Arthur looked at eachother then Harry Arthur said,"Yes he did. His followers are either dead or in Askaban. But..." he trailed off,not looking at his mum

"Oh!!" Hermione gasped in horror before taking both her kid's hands in her's. "Harry dies doesn't he?" She questioned,looking sad.

Alexandria and Harry Arthur both nodded sorrowfully.

"You and dad named me after him. You told us how excited he was that he was going to be a godfather. He sacrificed himself to kill Voldemort shortly afterward.

"Harry's the last horcrux? He...he has to kill...himself?" Hermione said in wide-eyed horror.

"Yes. He kills himself at the end of May of this year. Right after you and daddy find out that your pregnant with Harry." Lexi said.

"I can't believe Harry is the final horcrux. I can't believe that he'll die. We have found all the horcruxs except this one." Hermione muttered in shock.

Suddenly someone spoke from behind the three,the voice was very familar. "I have to do what?!" Harry Potter said loudly.

Hermione,Harry Arthur, and Alexandria whipped around in their seats and looked with wide eyes at Ron and Harry,who both looked rather shocked.
