Lija- I guess my math must have been off in in the cases of Harry's birthday/age. Sorry about that. As for Gringotts…that is more of a writer's block then anything. Harry needed to get in the vault and well he is Harry Potter so he can do anything right? Ha-ha. I'm aware of the whole Trevor thing; the frog is actually where the name came from.

Sorry for the long delay with this chapter. School and my new job have kept me busy.

The troll was now in place. Everything was left up to fate now. Like the rest of the journey so far it wasn't as difficult to find it, capture it, and transfer it, as the group had expected. Now it was the waiting game again. They would campout for a few more days and then return to Hogwarts and see if it worked. It was hoped that there would be no need for a plan B after that.

The group attempted to play games and have a little bit of fun in the meantime. It was however in the back of everyone's minds that they might have changed their whole relationships forever. Harry and Ginny had made it a ritual of "sneaking off" to their spot quite often. Harry lay with Ginny in his arms, brushing her hair, reminiscing about the day they had gotten back together.

It was just over a week after the final battle and all the funerals had taken place. The Wesley's were still mourning Fred of course but most of the emotional break downs had stopped at least for the moment. Harry of course hadn't wanted to break up with Ginny in the first place. While allowing Ginny time to mourn her brother, and allowing himself some time to mourn as well, Harry was secretly waiting for the moment her could ask her to be with him again.

It was early afternoon when Harry spotted Ginny walking alone in the garden. He was allowing Ron and Hermione time alone. He really hadn't known what to do with himself. When he saw her, she seemed to be glowing in the sunlight. He walked over to her. "Mind if I join you?" he asked her. "I guess", she replied "You doing okay, Harry?" He nodded. "I should be asking you that though. You've been going through a lot as well." She nodded and said, "I'm healing."

"It will take a while, but it will get better, at least for the most part" he told her. "I suppose" she replied. "I've lost most of the people I care about, I learned to live without them, but I'm still afraid of losing the few people that I have left" he informed her. "Like Ron and Hermione" Ginny stated. "And you. But I guess in a certain way I've already have lost you" he said. She pondered this for a moment "You broke up with me. I'm the one that lost you" she replied.

He placed a hand on each of her shoulders looking her in the eye. "Ginny, I loved you for quite some time now, I never wanted to break up with you" he said. "Then why did you!" her voice raised a little. "I was trying to save you! It was bad enough I had several people willing to die for me, and a few who did. I couldn't lose you! If I lost you, I would have lost my will to live". They were both seconds away from crying now.

"Can you forgive me? I never meant to hurt you". She brushed his hands of her shoulders, and turned away. The tears began. "I would marry you right this second if you wanted me to. I would do anything, and I mean anything, that you might need or even just want, to prove my love to you. Just tell me what it is; just tell me what it will take for us to be the same again".

"All you have to do is ask, Harry" she turned back to look at him. They both wiped the tears from their eyes. The words took some time to come up, for whatever reason. Harry finally took a deep breath and just before Ginny had almost decided to walk away. "Will you be my girlfriend….again?" Ginny quickly wrapped her arms around him and they kissed. It was a very passionate kiss more towards making out really.

"Is that a yes?" Harry asked, almost laughing now. Ginny nodded and they kissed again. They took hands and walked around the garden until Mrs. Weasley called everyone together for supper. When Harry and Ginny entered the house hand and hand there were several approving looks, and even a few smiles. Nothing was said however until Ron and Harry climbed into bed. "I'm happy for you, but don't break her heart again, I'd hate to have to kill you" Ron told Harry half-serious, half joking.

The next few days will filled with more of the same. Harry replayed every fund memory he had. He knew full well, that when they went back to their time, those memories could and most likely would be gone forever. It was finally time to return to Hogwarts to see if the troll had done it job. It was harder to get around, staff was on high alert. It was reasonable for them to question had a troll had gotten into Hogwarts.

They found Hermione in the library of course, and slightly please to see Harry and Ron at her side. The grouped moved in closer to hear the conversation. "Honestly, you two are never going to graduate if you can't bring yourselves to study for five minutes!" Young Hermione stated. "I would if you just let me peak at your exam" Young Ron replied. Hermione gave him a disgusted look. "Just because you're one of the first friends I've ever had doesn't me I'm going to let you cheat off me!"

That was all they needed to hear though, they stuck around a little bit longer. When they arrived back to camp the conversation was mostly joyous. They all still had nerves about things totally working out and wondered if they should jump a year or two ahead to make sure things truly had worked out. They decided to head to 1994.

It would be late enough in their lives that they would see if Hermione remain friends with them in this reality, and that the love bug would have at least started to bite. It would also still be a couple years from 1997 incase Hermione missed calculated. As they packed and got ready to head out Harry mentally prepared himself for what he would see in his 3 year.

Yay or nay with the flashback? Should I do more? If so what? Any ideas as to what Harry, Ron, and Hermione would be up to in the 3rd year now?
