Chapter 17 Years later…
19 Years later, Asheara was already a married woman. She's married to a man named Orion Prewett, related to the weasleys at their mother's side. Orion is a wizard working at the ministry as an auror. They had two children namely Leilina Ginevra, 13; and Gideon Fredric, 11. Asheara was not unhappy marrying, in fact she was glad that she met someone that would help her carry on.
Both children start schooling at Hogwarts. Both sorted to Gryffindor. Many rumors said that they were in Gryffindor is that because of their uncles, the weasleys and the prewetts. Asheara was happily tending their home and she would drop in at the burrow when Molly invites them dinner every Thursday. It was quite a happy reunion with everyone in the family. James Sirius and Fred the second would make the entire racket to make things go worse. But Molly never fussed; in fact she was enjoyed by the mischief of her grandsons.
When alone, Asheara would visit her mother and Fred's grave to talk to. Not that she's all psyched up, but she felt like talking to the stone. This made Orion go nuts. He would never understand why a person talks to a stone.
"You're too thick to understand it Orion, I just wanted to talk to them" Asheara snapped at her husband. Asheara's physical features changed. She no longer has the waist length hair, but she reduced it to shoulder length. She was also gaining weight, but still she looked still beautiful even at 39 years of age.
"Alright, alright" Orion said sighing but still frowning at the thought. "Do you want me to side-long apparate with me before I go to work?" Orion offered.
"Of course" Asheara said.
They reached the cemetery and Orion conjured some flowers to give to the departed. Orion kissed his wife good-bye and apparated to work. Asheara walked to the rows of the grave stones and found her mother's. She placed a bunch of flowers to the stone. She stayed there for several minutes then moved to the top of the hill where one grave stone awaits for her. When she reached it, she removed a week's worth of weeds. Then she placed a rose beneath the grave stone.
Asheara sighed. "You know Fred, I missed you. Even we only shared few days with each other, but my feelings for you were sincere. You were the only one who could make me smile like I did ever since my mum died. You know, Gideon starts to look like you and I have second thoughts if Orion is the true father" Asheara chuckled. "But of course, you look like your mother and Orion inherit his face in the Prewett's side. And you know, Gideon is so mischievous especially when combined with Albus, Fred and James; then maybe in the near future the burrow will explode.
"Maybe he inherited his prankster stuff from you and George. I can't tell. But anyway, I got to go back now… I'll come and visit next time…"
With that, Asheara called a cab to take her home. When she reached Orion and her house she felt a bit drowsy and she resolved getting a nap. Then, she had a dream…
They were in some place… a deserted place that seemed familiar to Asheara. Asheara was in her 19 years old look. She look around, there was no one there. It was the road leading to London.
"Nice seeing you" Says a voice that Asheara felt a pang on her chest.
"Fred" Asheara said breathlessly as she turns around.
"Hi…" He said sheepishly. He was wearing a wizard's coat that she once saw on the photograph when the Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes opened. Asheara smiled.
"Why did you bring me to this place?" ASheara asked looking around. "And why did you show your face just now?"
"First of all, I brought you here because this was the first place we've met" Fred said confidently. Asheara looked at him disbelievingly.
"I think it was at the hospital because you were actually unconscious when I saw you here" Asheara said mockingly.
"Oh… well—this is the place you saw me and that" Fred said rubbing the back of his neck. "I only showed myself to just now… because I want to evade you"
"Why would you do that?" Asheara asked. "You've done that before you pushed me away"
"I only did that mainly to protect you…" Fred said. "Now… because I want you to find someone better, I want to see you happy that you already moved on."|
"I wasn't entirely moved on" Asheara said. "I thought I was also dying when I lost you… it could've been you and me, Fred"
"It could've been… but—"We could spend time with each other without you erasing my memories" Asheara said with all of her sentiments filled her mind.
"That already happened… I didn't regret it; you have a happy life now with your kids…" Fred said.
"I know Fred… it's just that… it's not fair…" Asheara said and Fred caressed her face.
"I longed to touch your face ever since we parted…" Fred said looking hungrily at her face. "And every night when I watch you sleeping" Asheara gave a small laugh.
"Isn't it funny? You visited me every night but still alive… now me, visiting you… but already departed" Asheara said.
"That's what we call bittersweet irony" Fred said.
"May I ask why have you visited me?" Asheara asked.
"To give you my last good bye" Fred said. "I see you were better off now…" Asheara smiled. "You know I was wondering… how you felt very same when I erased your memories." Fred said still caressing her.
"It's because… the heart remembers what the mind cannot" Asheara said and Fred pulled her into a hug.
With that, she woke up… shaken by Orion. "Are you alright?" Orion asked her anxiously.
"Yes… of course" Asheara said, still bleary of her image.
"I was worried… I was shaking you for two minutes and you weren't waking up" Orion said and hugged her.
"I'm fine Orion…" Asheara said and hugged him back with a kiss on his lips. "Yes, it was what it is… the heart remembers what the mind cannot… Do you understand Fred? Every beat it makes was for the person who touched it…"
