Chapter 13: Spider Web Tattoo Girl

December 19, 2019; Present

Everyone looked between the two Hermiones.

"How?" Ginny asked. "Well… That's a question I can't answer but I can tell you a bit of it, OK?" Without waiting for confirmation, she took a deep breath and began. "There are five main people leading to the demise of Voldemort, only three of which are still alive to this day. Professor Dumbledore, for one, found out the way to defeat him then passed the information to Harry. After Professor Dumbledore died, Harry defeated Voldemort with the help of Ron and Hermione. Voldemort's rebounded curse killed him."

"Who's the fifth person? You said that there were five," Hermione said.

"Professor Snape but I'm not going to tell you how."

"That git?" Ron wrinkled his nose.

"That git," Ron confirmed. Ginny shot him a look.

"When did Voldemort die?" Arthur asked.

Ginny winced slightly then said, "May 2nd, 1997 at the Battle of Hogwarts."

"Harry defeated V-Voldemort at- at seventeen?" Augusta gasped. Neville squeaked.

"Yes," Ginny frowned.

"There was a battle at Hogwarts? Were many people killed?" Molly asked.

Everyone was watching Ginny, which was good because it meant they didn't see the way that George turned his face away, Angelina shuddered, Hermione's grip tightened on Ron's hand, Molly squeezed her eyes tight, Arthur gulped, Neville bit his lip and Luna lost her usual dreamy air. Ginny's grip on her knee tightened until her fingers turned white. "A lot of people died."

"Was it anyone you knew?" Molly pressed.

"Many… Many people I knew…" She looked out the window, lost in thought. Then suddenly her head snapped back. "Anything else you'd like to know?"

"Yes… when did you and Harry… you know… start… dating?" Ron asked, disgusted.

"When did Ron and Hermione start dating?" Ginny countered.

Ginny laughed. "Me and Harry started dating in the year that your from and-"

"Wait, this year?" Ron gasped.

"Yes… you and Hermione started dating in 1997," Ginny smiled.

The door opened and a gorgeous brunette walked in. Her eyes were sparkling and her wavy hair fell just below her shoulders. She was wearing a bright red robes and combat boots. She looked to be in her early thirties though she was actually late thirties.

"Wow, Audrey, that was quite the knock," Ginny said dramatically. Audrey threw her head back and laughed.

"Audrey? You're the Audrey that married Percy?" Fred gaped. George stared at her.

Audrey Weasley, formerly Jones, was in the year above the twins' in Gryffindor and had gotten in quite a few arguments with the third eldest Weasley son after she had been made a Prefect. She would help Fred and George test their WWW's products and give them ideas when they went to school. She was the last person they had expected to end up with Percy.

"Yep. For those of you who don't know me I'm a Muggle-born who was in Gryffindor and I'm married to Percy," Audrey said.

"You're married to Percy?" Molly gasped. She had a spider web tattoo peeking out of her robes on her neck and she looked too carefree to be with the uptight Percy.

She was about to answer her when Ron spoke, "You're married to Percy and you have a tattoo? Percy hates tattoos."

"He does," Audrey nodded as if that was the saddest thing she had ever heard.

"Actually," piped Hermione cheerfully, "Aud has six tattoos." The past Weasleys gaped at her.

Audrey grinned.
