(Harry Pov)

A warm glow from the fire cast a shadow on two figures Harry Potter and His best Mate Ron Weasley.

"Hey Harry I know it doesn't matter with the law but What happened after the war with you and Ginny neither of you have spoken of your relationship?" I turned to look at Ron.

"I knew you'd ask eventually. Well mate I love Gin I do but I realized that my feelings for her were the same as my feelings for Hermione she realized the same we are better off as friends we would have only hurt the other had we stayed together." I replied as two owls flew in one dropped a letter on Ron the other on me. I reached for mine watching my friend open his.

Dear Mr Potter,

We are pleased to report the love charms success we are pleased to announce the two candidates for your bride the first Miss Cho Chang and the second Miss Pansy Parkinson. You have 24 hours to make your choice please send a return owl no later then midnight tomorrow.

Yours truly,

The Ministry of Magic,

department of Marriages

His choice clear he pulled his parchment quill and ink out of his bag wrote a letter back.

Dear Ministry department of marriages,

My choice is clear I beg for the hand of Miss Pansy Parkinson I sware on my love for her to always put her needs and wants before mine. I would be honored to have her as my wife. And will place her and our children before myself.

Yours

Harry James Potter

I turned to Ron who was also was writing.

"Who'd you pick mate." I asked

"Well my choices were Eloise Midgen or Millicent Bullstrode I'm asking for Bullstrode at least she's grown up filled out in the rite places and year before last I saw her protect a first year muggle born girl from a group of older Slytherin girls She cant be all that bad you know. Who'd you chose?" He asked

"Pansy Parkinson. It was between her and Cho and I would most likely end up miserable with Cho She's got no personality at least Pansy will make things interesting. Here I'll call Hedwig ( A/N:I know she's dead in the books but I can't accept it so she's alive here.) She'll take yours for you to." He nodded folding and sealing his letter handing it to me I walked over to the open window and whistled three notes loudly. A rush of wind blew with her as she flew in landing on my shoulder I tied the letters together and attached them to Hedwig's leg. She hooted and flew away ever faithful I sighed turning back to my friend.

"I'm gonna turn in Ron night mate." He raised a hand in farewell i walked up in to the dorm room I shared with Ron and the others my age fell back on my bed setting my glasses on the bed side table falling back sprawling on my pillows thinking. 'I sure hope she accepts me Pansy has never really been a supporter of mine but she sure has gotten pretty and she was crying on Hermione earlier she must have changed. Hermione trusted her enough to be that close to her.' My thoughts ran along those lined until I fell asleep.

(next day Hermione's pov)

A fluttering of wings woke me from a deep sleep a sputtering hoot made me sit up right. I looked at the brown owl on my pillow it held a letter out I untied it the owl hooted happily and took off. I sat up and opened the letter.

Dear Miss Granger,

We are pleased to report the love charms success we are pleased to announce that there was much interest in yourself as a bride you have three candidates for your Groom the first Mr Victor Krum the second Mr. Cormac McLaggen the last candidate and the one from what his letter said the most interested Mr. Draco Malfoy. You have 24 hours to make your choice please send a return owl no later then midnight tonight.

Yours truly,

The Ministry of Magic,

department of Marriages

Draco asked for Me! Oh god he's saving me from Krum and McLaggen I was gonna kiss him thoroughly Oh shit I have to write his mother back! I flew outa bed pulling my wand out of the cloak pocket summoning my writing stuff with a flick of my wrist I flew towards me I wrote my response to the Ministry naming Draco my choice. Then sat to writing my mother-in-law to be.

Dear Mrs. Malfoy,

I apologize for not writing you back when Draco handed me your letter yesterday it was a eventful evening. I am pleased to forgive the past and to be fair to you you never hurt me directly so in all honesty there is nothing for me to forgive you for. As far as Draco is concerned he has proven to me that he has changed for the better he even saved me from a nasty fall yesterday. I am more then willing to give him another chance. In fact I just received my marriage letter barring the candidates for my groom. Draco's name was on it I hope that you will keep my decision of groom between me and you. I chose Draco as my groom and I hope you will be happy with our choices and grant us your blessing. I should get ready now and send my answer letter and this letter off and get some breakfast. I hope you find this news good and know that I am happy to write you you are going to be my mother-in-law after all and I hope we can have a good relationship.

Yours truly

Hermione Granger

P.s. I also insist that you call me Hermione.

With that I sealed the letter grabbed both of them walking out of my room into the common room which was empty to my relief bounced out of the head dorm's with a small wave and smile to the portrait that hid the common room from everyone.

"Morning Professor Snape lovely morning is it not?" I paused speaking to him.

"Indeed it is Miss Granger Off to breakfast?" He nodded hands folded

"Yes after I stop at the owlery to send these and please call me Hermione." I added

"Only if you call me Severus or Sev deal." he chuckled.

"Deal Severus I better send these off I don't want to be late on my first day back."I Smiled he nodded, waving at the former Potions master I made my way up to the Owlery. Calling two school owls down and tieing my response and my letter to Draco's mother to them and watched as they flew away together until a cretin point then splitting up. I smiled humming to myself and made my way to the great Hall in what was to be a good day.

(Ginny pov)

I had just opened my letter from the Ministry I had frozen when I saw the two Names listed as my Groom's. 'Damn you Dean Thomas damn you you cheat on me with a Patil twin and you have the balls to ask for my hand . I looked at the other name the letter bore. Blaise Zabini he had never said more then two words to me he was the second hottest guy at Hogwarts the tall tan Italian man was intelligent always came in 3rd behind his best friend Malfoy who had held his number 2 spot behind Hermione all thru their schooling. 'Well better the Italian then that cheating ass Thomas. My mind made up I wrote a quick letter to the Ministry making Blaise my chose. Putting the letter in my pocket I strode out of Gryffindor tower and up to the owlery calling Ron's owl down knowing Pigwigdon loved me more and it would make Ron mad that I didn't ask first. I smiled as I watched the little owl fly away in a better mood I walked out of the owlery bouncing down the stairs halfway to the great hall I slipped falling forward in the air falling down a flight of stairs dreading the pain that was to come I shut my eyes waiting for the pain it never came instead a deep gruff voice and the smell of expensive cologne came from a body that had wrapped itself around me.

"Damn Weasley if knew you were gonna fall for me I wish you wouldn't have done it so literally are you hurt." the voice joked then turned serious My eyes snapped open Blaise Zabini was sprawled under me completely shielding me from the hard castle floor.

" N no I'm I'm ok you you saved me." I stuttered pulling my self back of the hard body he sat up groaning i added. "Are you hurt you took all of my weight and force from the fall?"

"Ah I'm ok just a little sore is all nothing broken thou I'll be as good as new in a few days."He smiled at me standing stiffly then offering me a hand i took it and was pulled up.

"Thank you would you allow me to help heal you?" I asked pulling my wand out. "I'm no Madam Pomfrey but Hermione taught me well ." I added he nodded consenting I muttered a quick healing spell it was mainly for aches pains and bruises He sighed as the pain started easing.

"There that should at least make it easier to sit thru class but if anything aches later you should go up to the Hospital wing and have Madam Pomfrey look at it." I babbled blushing.

"Ok Will do can I ask why you were going so fast down the stairs in the first place?" He cocked a dark eyebrow at me.

" I was on my way from the owlery giving my answer to the ministry and was happy with my decision. I should have been more careful thank you for saving me Blaise." I smiled at the Italian who looked confused I turned giving him a smile and a small good bye he stood there stunned as I walked away. I giggled at my future husband's cute expression. I walked away singing to myself even more pleased by my decision then I was before this time walking carefully down the stone steps. He mite not be there next time I fell and even if he was I wouldn't want him to get hurt on my behalf again I walked in to the great hall happy for the first time in forever.

(Pansy's pov)

I ate my breakfast dreading the day my letter from the ministry unopened in my pocket I didn't want to open it I knew the person's name I wanted on it would never petition for me it made my heart ache I was in love with Harry Potter and I would never get to tell him how I felt tears fell from my eyes I stood fleeing the hall unable to face the letter. I crashed into a hard chest a the worried voice of my beloved I looked up into brilliant Green eyes filled with worry for me .

"Pansy are you ok what happened did someone hurt you?" He asked I couldn't speak just sobbed harder. He pulled me away from the great hall and into the closest deserted room were he let me sob all over his robes.

"Pansy tell me what happened please I'll take care of you . Did someone hurt you tell me who so I can go say a few choice words to them?" He asked again voice hard i looked up into the Green eyes and saw a hard determined look in them. I spoke voice quivering.

"N no no one hurt me i it um well I'm, just really stressed what what with my Father being in Azkaban and this this law I'm scared of what's gonna happen I don't want to be with someone who who will treat me the way my father treated my mother." I hung my head my fists clutching his robes I spoke my fears to him not even realizing I feared this situation till it was out of my mouth.

"He hit your mother.?" He asked voice hard again I nodded

"Yes he he even occasionally hit me." I spoke truthfully Scared of what his reaction would be.

"He hit you?" he spoke voice full of hate. I shuddered nodding again

"I I'm afraid the ministry will pair me with someone like him." I shuddered and strong arms pulled me to a hard chest.

" I will never let any man Hit you ever again Pansy do you hear me I will kill any man who tries it do you understand me Pansy." He held me close voice full of truth and anger at the thought of me me Pansy a person he hated being hurt.

"Thank you Harry I think I can open my letter now." He allowed me to step away from him he nodded.

"I'll leave you alone with it then If you ever need anything at all please don't hesitate to ask me what ever happens I will always be around to help you understand?" He spoke his deep voice gentile and true.

" I will come to you thank you Harry." I gave the person of my affection a small smile he beamed back and left me alone. I tore the letter open and read it and gasped when I read one name not even bothering to look at the other I held the letter to my chest caught up in happiness. 'He chose me he picked me he wants me' I ran out of the room down to the Slytherin dorm's into my shared room writing my reply grabbing my books and flying out and up to the owlery to send my Owl Athena with my reply. Walking to my first period class in a happy mood that no one would ruin I was gonna get to marry the boy I loved and spend the rest of my life trying to earn his love.

(Lunch hour Hermione's Pov)

I sat at the Gryffindor table as Professor McGonagall addressed us .

"Now Students I just received some good news We will be holding a Ball to celebrate the Unity of Wizard kind all of age Witches and Wizards from our sister schools Beauxbatons Academy and Durmstrang Institute will arrive tomorrow the Headmasters and a chaperone from both will join us. The ball will be held next week so please be on your best behavior while they are here . Forgive my lunch interruption." She sat back down I groaned knowing my luck Victor would be the volunteer hopefully Draco would have my reply from the Ministry before then. As if it heard me a owl flew to him I crossed my fingers hoping it was my reply I was distracted by a beautiful Owl who dropped a letter in front of me I recognized Narcissa Malfoy's elegant hand writing I laughed at her haste to write me back slid it in the pocket of Draco's cloak giving a small giggle ( I don't think I'll ever take it off now). I would read it during History of magic and start my reply to her. I forgot about Draco receiving a letter it might not be my reply anyway. Lunch wore down I walked into History of Magic took my seat pulling out Narcissa Malfoy's reply.

Dear Hermione,

I shall call you By your Name only if you do the same call me Narcissa or Cissy please! This is indeed wonderful news I sware your decision is between us we have our first mother in law daughter in law secret I'm so excited and pleased my idiot son chose wisely! This is so wonderful as soon as you and Draco pick out a wedding Date we are going to have to go dress shopping (that is if I can get out of the rest of my house arrest sentence at my hearing this Friday) Oh and I do hope you will consider having it here at the Manor I just finished remodeling it but I understand if you chose someplace else. I am so ecstatic to welcome you to our family oh I can't wait for it! I love that you are willing to forgive me and love that you are giving our family the much needed light it needed. Talk soon love lots.

Cissy.

I laughed after reading the letter she was so happy she jumped around She seemed truly happy with me as her Daughter in law it warmed my heart that she accepted so readily. I pulled my Parchment ink and quill out and began writing her.

Dear Cissy,

I'm glad that you approve of me and Draco and consider me part of the family even thou I'm technically not yet. It makes me miss my mother terribly but knowing I have Molly Weasley and now you as mother figures makes me feel so blessed. My mother would have been ever so grateful for your support and care towards me. Oh dear me if I continue that I may cry again. I hope your hearing goes well and you'll be able to help me pick a dress and we get to spend time bonding in person instead of these letters not that I mind letters but It'd just be nice to speak in person. History of magic is almost over (shh don't tell the professor I haven't been listening i can only handle Binns so long before I fall asleep.) So I'll send this off during my free period which is next. Talk to you soon!

Love,

Hermione

Folding the letter up I slipped it in to my robe pocket and slid Cissy's letter in my bag. Binns dismissed us we fled the room I took the stairs up to the owlery Sent my letter off and made my way back to my dorm for my hour free period.

(Draco's pov)

I walked to my dorm I shared with my fiance reading the one word that made my entire life I absently gave the portrait of my Godfather the password walked in and found myself looking at her sitting book in hand on the sofa reading content.

"You said yes to me?" I asked hardly believing my luck She looked up.

"Damn did Cissy tell you she swore she'd keep it a secret until you received my reply." She answered a little miffed I was baffled she addressed my mother by her nickname.

"Mother didn't say anything I just got your reply." I said waving it in the air. She smiled pleased that mother hadn't broken her word.

" Oh good I'm glad Cissy kept her word I feared based on her exuberant reply to my letter that she mentioned it. What does it say about when we have to marry by or does it say anything else." She asked

"You accepted me!" I asked again still shocked she laughed putting her book down standing and walking over to me hesitantly hugged me laying her head on my chest I returned her embrace.

"Corse I did silly I'd rather you then the other candidates they had for me." She giggled

" What horrid people did they give you to chose from?" I asked breathing in the strawberry sent of her hair.

" Victor Krum and Cormac McLaggen were my other choices." She said snuggling in to me more. I was stunned she chose me over a fellow Gryffindor and a famous Bulgarian seeker both of who she dated.

"Wow What did they do to piss you off enough to say yes to me." I asked still stunned.

"In all honesty I chose you because I thought we had a better connection then I have with the other two. And well the only reason I dated McLaggen was to prove that I was capable of getting a guy I never liked him quite the opposite he was annoying selfish self centered ass. Victor was pleasant but we had no chemistry he'd rarely talk to me. I'd rather have a partner who could match me someone with a brain. And well even when you were insulting me I enjoyed matching wits with you I'd rather spend the rest of my life with arguing instead of silence besides he let his fame get to his head became almost as bad as McLaggen." She replied.

" I see so based on the fact that I can keep you on your toes you'll marry your enemy." I laughed

" We aren't enemy's anymore Draco I that's in the past and I thought we were a rather good team last night handling an army of kids and only having one bruise . You have also not insulted me for a couple years. I enjoyed the conversation on the train here and thought why not you deserve another chance." She spoke happy.

"Well that's good. Are you happy with this love?" I asked hesitantly

"Yes I am more then you know come sit with me till next class?" She asked I nodded allowing her to sit me on the sofa she collected her book and sat in my lap side ways leaning into my chest.

"So will you go to the Ball with me?" I asked hesitantly placing my arms around her.

"Well considering I'm your fiance that's a given that I'm going with you." She laughed.

"I'll have to write Mother and get your ring from her for you." I laughed with her.

"Ring?" She looked at me head turning from her book.

" Yes the Malfoy family has a tradition of using a family heirloom ring . No reason to brake tradition then I'll buy you your own wedding ring for the ceremony. Oh speaking of the letter said that we have to have the wedding by the 3 month deadline." I said

"Oh good Lets wait till after Friday to chose that way we know wether or not Cissy will be able to make it. She wants to take me dress shopping." She smiled.

"As you wish love I'm glad your getting along with Mother. I'm sure she enjoys speaking with you." I smiled letting her turn back to her book man I could get use to holding her while she read. I squeezed her happy to finally have her were I want her.

"I'm gonna speak to McGonagall about living arrangements I hope she'll let us stay here in the head dorm." She spoke I hummed content not caring either way as long as she was with me.

( Same time as Draco Blaise pov)

I strode into the Slytherin common room avoiding everyone to collapse on my bed in my dorm. My body still tingling from having Ginny pressed fully in to me how it craved to have her to have her fully on me was heaven I hit my head "Damn Blaise snap out of it she's technically taken you know she never would have picked you idiot you had to ask she was so damn happy. A sharp tap interrupted my thoughts I sighed standing to unlatch the window a owl flew in dropping a letter on my bed then flew away. I snatched the letter up not delaying the inevitable opened it and read I dropped to my knees in disbelief She had said yes to me chose me before I saved her she chose me over another. Tears streamed down my face at the relief that flooded I get to marry the woman I've been desperately in love with since the moment I saw her I was a damn lucky man I gotta find her, shit class after dinner I'll catch her after dinner Yes and plan from there I was gonna enjoy the chase for her heart.

(Harry pov at dinner)

My head had been filled with the image of tearing hazel eyes filled with such fear and sadness i was unable to concentrate on anything managing to get thru all my classes on automatic pilot Potions would have been a disaster had I not asked Snape for help yesterday I was creating another half-blood prince in my newer advanced Potion making book. He even went as far as to give me all his created spells which I dutifully wrote down in the margins of the book swearing I would pass em down along with my Invisibility Cloak. He only gave me the short cuts one at a time but giving me the instructions for the potion Slughorn had planed for todays lesson. He must have over heard his replacement's lesson plan and noticed my inner turmoil the man could always see thru me. A barn owl flew towards me while I idly played with my dinner I untied the letter it flew off I slid the envelope in my pocket as another familiar owl landed on my shoulder it was Andromeda's owl barring her update on My Godson Teddy She agreed to raise him till I finished school and got a steady job and house. I had number 12 Grimmauld place the Weasley's helped me make it habitable found a way to get rid of all the portrait's including Mrs. Black's thou I allowed Kreacher to keep it on the condition he kept her quiet and didn't listen to any orders from her He agreed and so far he had kept his end of the deal. I ripped Andromeda's letter open a photo was tucked in it I flipped it over and busted up laughing there was My god son standing in a puddle of ink his clothing soaked black his hair bubble gum pink the way his mother typically wore it with a I'm innocent look plastered over his toddler face lip quivering. Hermione cocked a eye brow at me I was laughing so hard I couldn't speak just handed the photo she joined me in laughing passing the photo to Ginny who laughed to then she passed it to Ron who rolled with laughter.

"Oh God he's defiantly your Godson Harry." He roared handing me the photo I stood walking up the way to the teachers table and handing the photo to the other two people in the room who loved my beloved Godson. First was Hagrid he beamed at the little boy chuckling fondly then I took it to Professor McGonagall who surprisingly started laughing so hard tears rolled down her face the entire hall fell silent shocked at the ever stern headmistress laughing at a photo her voice filled the hall as she spoke between her laughter.

"That boy is certainly your Godson Harry not even two years old and already causing trouble he is gonna be a handful when he's ready to come to school Hahaha I hope I'm retired by then." She laughed

"And miss out seeing him bounce up to your office with candy for you squealing when he comes in 'aunty minny I got some chocolate'? Tut tut I'm disappointed Professor. " I mimicked her harsh tut smiling broadly that set her off again along with my friends laughing at the mental image of a 11 year old boy with bubble gum pink hair a pigs nose hands full of chocolate for McGonagall. I took my picture turning away from the laughing woman I beamed proudly down at my Godson feeling a slight ache in my heart that Remus and Tonks wouldn't get to see him grow up I kept walking past the tables my mind else were.

"Harry you forgot Dromeda's letter you ok?" Hermione ran up grabbing the back of my robes I stoped when I felt the tug I turned she handed me the letter I took it her voice came again.

"Harry?" I shook my head giving her a sad smile.

"I miss them I miss Remus so much Mione it kills me that he's never gonna see Teddy never teach him how to take care of himself how to fight how to cast a Patronus it should be me Mione I should be dead not him not Tonks." This must have made her angary never piss off Hermione Granger she slapped me across the face I looked up at her seeing her cry for me.

"How can you say that Harry James Potter your alive to take care of that boy to give him what you never had a father that's why Remus named you Godfather He knew how much you'd love Teddy and want those things for him! He left Teddy to you because He loved you Harry! Remus loved you and knew you would Die for Teddy that you would give up everything to make sure Teddy was happy and Safe!" She screamed tears falling in anger I softened at my sisters rage knowing she was rite I reached out my free hand brushing her tears away. I looked up to see Draco Pansy and Ron standing behind her.

"Yeah mate Mione's right Harry Remus knew what he was doing when he named you godfather. You are a great Father to Teddy don't think we didn't know you disappeared to Andromeda's every day for a few hours I found you there one day Sprawled on Andromeda's sofa passed out with a blue haired Teddy passed out on your chest I took this that day." Ron said pulling out his wallet and pulling out a photo of just what he said he added after I took the picture. "I meant to give it to you I forgot but I wanted to show you how much you need Teddy and how much he needs you Harry. Remus trusted you with him trusted you to show him what you learned from Him. There is no one better suited to raise Teddy think Harry if not for you who is gonna tell Teddy Stories of Remus of how his father was a great wizard and died to help make this new world for him. Who would describe Remus better then you James your Father is dead so is Sirius you are the only one who can. Wouldn't you have loved to have had Sirius or even Remus growing up to tell you stories of James instead of waiting 13 years for them. Waiting 13 years for your Father figures to be a part of your life you should know that's why Remus wanted it to be you. I reckon it was his way of trying to make up the 13 years he didn't get to see you Harry." I gapped at my best friend the redhead smiled at me .

"Wow Ron that was." I mumbled

"Please I can come up with em occasionally to I may not be smart like Hermione or Ballsy like you. But I get why Remus left Teddy to you I can't fathom any one better and I'm not even his dad Mate. So stop bloody feeling sorry for yourself use that ballsy courage your famous for and go back to flashing Teddy's picture to any one who will look like the ridiculously proud Father you are." Ron said slapping me on the back I blinked smiling at him

"See dummy even Ron knows how much you love little Teddy come on lets all go up to mine and Draco's common room and you can brag about him some more maybe annoy Severus again with your pictures you know how he enjoys that." Hermione beamed

"Maybe tomorrow Mione I should read Andromeda's letter and reply to it oh shit I gotta read this one too from the ministry probably my conformation letter. I forgot about it when Andromeda's owl dropped this off ." I said pulling the other out .

"Oh Merlin what if she wont take Teddy in?" Ron burst suddenly I looked at him trying not to glance at Pansy.

"Well if its the girl I chose I think she'll be understanding and care for Teddy as much as I do. If its the other then she'll have to bloody suck it up I will not give up that boy for that stuck up broken girl that cannot let her dead boyfriend stay dead." I said

"Your kidding she was your other choice you didn't tell me that Harry James Potter I know why you chose the one you did but you never told me your other choice was Her! How dare that insensitive back stabbing wench be your other choice. " Hermione yelled

"Wow Mione I'm sorry its not like it matters any way doesn't matter who the other choice was I still would have made the same decision. It was just sprinkles on the already iced cake to turn her down." I said trying to calm down the mad witch so i turned it around on her.

"In any case shouldn't you be worried about Krum coming to tomorrow knowing your luck he'll be the chaperone for Durmstrang."I laughed at her as she hit me playfully.

"Well lucky me I have My fiance to keep him and McLaggen off me." She said crossing her arms.

"Oh ya who's the lucky guy? You told us you had three choices but you never told us the third was the one you chose." Ron asked.

"Funny you should ask Weasley cus I'm standing rite here I think I'm more then capable of keeping that Bulgarian ass hole off her." Draco's voice spoke making me whip to him.

"YOU!" I gasped

"Got a problem with it?" he cocked and eyebrow at me

"Hell no one less worry off me Draco I trust you to look out for her and give her everything she deserves." I smiled placing a hand to her shoulder Pansy shrieked tackling Hermione in a great hug.

"Why didn't you tell me Hermione that's awesome!" She cried

"Well I wanted to tell the boy's first seeing's as they can be stubborn and I wasn't sure how they'd take it." Hermione said giggling happier then I've seen her in a long time.

"I approve congratulations little Sister." I turned to the duo kissed Hermione's forehead Ron just nodded.

"I was um Harry would you walk me down the Isle and give me away?"she asked I looked down at her taking both girls in my arms and squeezing as tight as I could.

" I thought you'd ask Arthur to do that." I said with all honesty.

"Well I do love him like a dad Harry but he's not you in my heart you have a bigger roll in my life your my brother forever we have been thru so much together thick and thin hell or high water and we always will do that together. You have been my truest most loyal friend. That's why I want it to be you to give me away to stand by my side thru a good day like you do for all the bad ones." She replied tears falling which set me off I held Pansy and Hermione tears streaming down my face.

" I will always stand with you Hermione nothing will change that were ever you want me to I'm there." I said voice thick

" I know thank you Harry." she said smiling and crying at the same time just like me. I let them go brushing Hermione's face free of tears she laughed and wiped mine away I laughed stepping back retrieving my letters and pictures from Ron I must have dropped them and he'd picked em up I put them in my pocket.

"bye see you later." I said turning to walk away

"Harry are you going home for Christmas?" Hermione asked

" I don't know that will depend why?" I asked turning to face her.

"Well I'm trying to plan our visit to Godric's hollow if your home at Grimmauld place it will be much easier to get you there as your room is two doors down from mine and Apparate directly into the cemetery. They deserve flowers and last year I swore to them I would bring you back next year you and me just like last year." she smiled giving me a small smile I rushed foreword grabbed her around the waist picking her up off the floor and holding her to me.

"What would I do without you reading my mind Hermione?" I whispered she giggled and I set her down.

"You'd be a complete basket case Harry and well in all honesty probably dead."

She laughed.

"Damn that's right he almost got me in the hollow." I laughed turning away and walking up the stair to the 7th floor to the room of requirements thinking to myself as I passed it three times. ' I need someplace private were I can read and reply to my letters without interruption' on the third pass the door appeared I opened it glad to see the room still worked I didn't see or hear the disillusioned person following me they rushed in the room behind me I didn't notice. Inside the room was a plush arm chair a fire crackled in the fire place parchment quills and ink lined a large display like bookcase another book case stood filled with what I guess were blank books. I walked over and pulled a soft leather one out it was similar to Riddle's journal I flipped it open blank pages greeted me i put it back maybe I'd take it and fill it with Severus's spells later.

" I love this room." I spoke to myself grabbing a hard back book to write on a bottle of ink and a quill read Andromeda's letter wrote my reply folding the letter up and slipping it in my pocket. I took the other out turning it over in my hands a few times not opening it I wished there was someone I could talk to about it other then my friends someone I trusted when a familiar voice spoke.

" Your entire future rests in such a small object again. Quite like the prophecy once did?" i looked up at the voice a large portrait had replaced the fire place Albus Dumbledore sat life sized in front of hands folded resting on his lap exactly the same way he had in real life I smiled at the man.

"Albus this room is truly amazing." I said addressing the older man by his first name he didn't seem to mind.

"Yes it is Harry my friend now back to the letter in your hand which by my guess holds your future in it." the deep familiar voice spoke to me.

"Not easy to distract you and yes it does all of my life has been dictated for me already the reason I wanted to beat Tom so bad was to free myself of a written future to save others from a written future I wanted it to end with me and him Albus." I said he nodded understanding

" Ah Harry I do forget how young you are way to often in our friendship. You who have shouldered a grown wizards burden since you were 11. You have proven to me over and over that you should never be underestimated you learned a N.E.W.T level spell at 13 you faced danger over and over and over . Yet you have no real knowledge of the world I forget those deplorable relatives of yours literally locked you away from the world until I sent Hagrid to get you. This law is nothing new it has been a law that has been on and off over the years my own grandparents were wed this way after a war the law abolished when the wizard numbers were up this has happened over the years since the beginning of our history I do not expect this law to ever go completely away. It is a by product of evil trying to take over. While it is outdated it is unfortunately necessary even I see the sense in the law."He spoke confirming my worries.

"I see you really have a talent for rubbing salt in my wounds all the time ." I said icily he chuckled.

"Ah well that is the privilege of the old Harry ." He replied eyes twinkling

" Well I know of one old man who excels at it I sware he dose it to get me riled up." I snapped back at him He laughed again slightly louder.

"Yes you and Severus were my favorites to play with ." He confirmed

" Poor Sev its a wonder he didn't kill you sooner you senile old fool and I wonder at my own sanity for being loyal to you even now. Thou I will give you this whenever you set a plan and drug me in it I usually did end up coming out of it so there is that." I said rubbing my nose with my thumb and fore finger he laughed again not offended he knew my insults were not meant as such but were merely a way i expressed my frustration with him.

"Open the blasted letter Harry your driving me crazy." He laughed

"Driving you crazier is my mission." I teased the old man he chuckled but I did as he said opening it and reading it with relief. I sat back more settled and content then ever I couldn't help but smile.

"Good news?" He smiled

"Better then good I got the hand of the witch I wanted." I said leaning in to the chair and added "I know your gonna ask so I'll say it before you do I asked for the hand of Pansy Parkinson I have always thought she was pretty she has also changed for the good. I just hope she'll accept Teddy." I said

"Ah yes little Teddy Lupin your Godson how is he?" the old wizard beamed I pulled the pictures out of my pocket stood and brought them closer for him to see. He laughed

" I see he takes after his Godfather a little troublemaker , he looks so much like Remus but that hair he's a metamorphmagus like his mother." He smiled fondly at the boy.

"Yes he does most of the time he has pink hair occasionally he'll do blue or green but seeing the photos of Tonks at Andromeda's he copy's her pink it is amusing to watch a mini Remus run down the hall with Pink hair. He loves to fly I take him up on the Firebolt Hermione and Andromeda get mad but he likes the wind it makes him laugh and giggle. I miss him Albus him and Sirius I wish they were here with me I would give anything to have them both standing with me at my wedding."I said sadly.

"And your parents?" He asked

"Well of corse but I never knew them its easier to take them not being there cus they have always not been there. But to have Sirius to know him love him know he would kill for me die for me and then to fuck up and loose him after only 4 years I would have joined him if i could have. Remus wouldn't let me he pulled me back reminding me that I still had someone. I had Remus for another year and then he was gone to. It scares me cus everyone I love ends up dead the number of times I almost killed Hermione and Ron just last year scares the hell out of me . And Teddy I love him so much so deeply I'm scared that he'll slip thru my fingers to I'm afraid to love the woman I'm gonna marry for the same I fear I already care to much about her. I want them both Albus they were my Fathers I need them now more then ever my head is so full of blood and war I need the light they always brought me the hope and faith and love they had for me" I said glancing at the photos in my hand tears falling down my face.

"That is the pain of we fools who love so deeply my friend when we lose someone we love it makes life seem dark and barren. You are wrong about one thing Harry you haven't lost them they live in you the resurrection stone brought them to you in the last moments did it not? The Resurrection Stone dose not pull them from the land of the dead Harry it pulls them from your heart and shows you them from the depths of your heart and soul. They reside in your soul Harry see for your self I warn you again about that mirror I will only allow the room to produce it for you this once." He said pointing to a tall mirror that stood by the window that was not there I gasped.

"The Mirror of Erised I thought it was broken." I said standing and walking over to it pausing then standing in front of it. It wasn't the same as it was last time last time I was surrounded by the Potters only this time it was my dead family Lily, James, Sirius, Remus, even Severus and Albus. I touched the mirror looking to the handsome faces of my surrogate Fathers first Sirius who laughed a arm carelessly around James the other in his hair pushing the black locks back. Then to Remus who waved at me kind and happy looking like he was a second from giving me a lecture that I would dutifully sat thru hanging on his every word. Then to my Third surrogate Father Albus looking exactly like his portrait jovial and serene. Then fourth to Severus he stood behind Lily but when my attention turned to him he put his arm on her shoulder she stepped back he sank into a crouch to look me directly in the eye his Dark ones sparkled I smiled back at him sparring my real father a glance nodding to him then nodding to lily who stood with one hand on my shoulder the other on Severus's who was still crouched. I tore my gaze away after what felt like a eternity realizing that the crazy old man was rite I didn't need a mirror or a stone they were there at all times with me. I walked back over to the chair facing the portrait .

" You have always had a strange interaction with that mirror Well?" Albus asked

" I am one lucky man I had more fathers then anyone could imagine I had five vastly different men love and teach me different things over the years. I am a lucky man thank you Albus." I said softly he caught it nodding not speaking anymore I stood walking to the shelves and pulling out a black soft leather bound book perfect for writing all of Severus's spell's and their affects down. I held the book bidding Albus good night and walked out of the room feeling better then ever.
