CHAPTER 2 : SHOULD I OR SHOULD I NOT?

Present time:

"Hello? Mum? Harry proposed!"

Molly Weasley's face went pale; her eyes widened as she dropped the bowl from shock and the contents flew out and said

"What! Wait... Oh Harry proposed did he? He did come by and talk to Arthur yesterday. So have you set a date? Have you called the florist? What about the Cake? Will it be homemade like how we did for Bill and Fleur's wedding. And Oh! Where's the ring ? And-""Mum. You're going to have a heart attack. See... here's the ring." Ginny showed her ring. Molly slowed her breathing and tried in vain to look calm. "Oh! It's beautiful! did Harry buy it or is it a family ring?

"Its his Mum's"

"Oh Darling, look at you all grown up. But aren't you a little too young to get married? You'll just have been seventeen! Oh Ginevra-" "It's Ginny for Merlin's Sake!"

And her mother burst into tears in front of her. Ginny stared at her mother stunned. "Mum? Please don't cry. I'm not changing at all well apart from the surname. It's the ring which makes it most special. We've decided on muggle New Years Day. It was very romantic. And I'm not too young. How old were you when you got married again?"

"You got me." Molly said "Congratulations! But you do know you need to plan your wedding with your Maid of Honour and me to follow tradition, right?" Ginny had no idea but nodded and said:

"Yes Mum. In fact I'm going to meet Hermione right now I'll tell her to meet up with you. Okay? Bye!"She rushed out before her mother could say more.

The rest of the day was a blur. There were lots of 'Congratulations' and 'When is the date'. When she finally got home and glanced at the clock it was already 3:30. She remembered the letter from yesterday. Worries came flooding to her mind and she felt a bit queasy. She got up from the couch fixed her hair, put on some decent clothes and apparated to Hogsmeade.

She found Rosmerta "Umm... Rosmerta? Where exactly is Dumbledore's new office now?""Ah Yes. He told me to expect you. Come Follow me."Ginny followed her through a passage and whispered "Raspberry" after Rosmerta had left back to the Three Broomsticks. The door opened to reveal a room just like Dumbledore's old one. Dumbledore appeared behind her and said "Ah! Miss. Weasley please make yourself comfortable" and without another word he walked out.

Ginny sat down on the chair feeling slightly irritated. 'He called me here to leave me alone? How dare he?' She thought. Ginny kept on muttering something about Dumbledore and stupid beards until her eyes fell on a circular device. It had some swirls and in the middle there were numbers in it. she remembered seeing some picture of it in some book Hermione left lying around. It was actually kind of interesting and that was a first. She looked at it again. She tried to remember more about it. She took it in her hand and examined it.

"Interesting isn't it?" she jumped. Dumbledore was standing at the doorway and getting in."I got it from my cousin Lucinda Rookwood. A Great-Aunt of the deceased Death Eater, Augustus Rookwood." She knew who Rookwood was. Her father had mentioned him. What was it called anyway?

"Vagus Tempore." He said as if he read her mind, which he probably did.

"Wandering Time." She said thinking out loud."Is that why you brought me here? To show me this". "I thought you would like to see it." He said

"Well... Apart from me finding it interesting, I presume you have a use for it."

Dumbledore smiled "Nicely put, Miss Weasley. I do as you put it 'have a use for it'. I would like you to see James Potter and Lily Evans in their seventh year. No changes in time will occur. Everyone will simply forget you."

"Why me? Harry is the one who deserves to see his parents."

"Harry has an uncanny ability to find himself in between trouble. It might be most saddening if he went and got himself killed there. I think you will do just fine and you are getting married and i think you should meet them . But after all it is your decision. Should you choose to go, meet me at this office at 9:00 am tomorrow."

"Professor, will any time pass over here while I'm there?

"I'm afraid so Miss Weasley. A month spent there is a week passed here you shall be spending 3 months there".

"But we have our wedding to plan and school! Mum won't allow this."

"You shall leave a note to Harry saying 'Shall be back soon' and I'll pacify your parents. See you tomorrow." And saying that he walked out of the office leaving Ginny Weasley all alone.

'See you tomorrow? I didn't even agree to it. Oh No there is no way I am doing this. Leave everyone alone for 3 weeks! i cant do it' She thought as she walked out and apparated back to the Burrow.

"Oh! Where were you darling? We were all so worried." Asked her Mum.

"Oh you know Mum, Looking for good wedding dress designs." She internally winced as the lie came easily to her.

Having dinner was like being back home for holiday. It was kind of a reminder of Ginny's fifth year where Ron was dating Lavender. Of course now that they were back together he raved about her more often. And she was a good person to talk to for fashion advice.

But while going to bed, only one thought was there on her mind, 'Should I or Should I not?'
