I didn't knew how it happened. It just did. I was so relieved when Voldemort died, but then I saw him. I saw his dead body laying on the ground, warm blood still filling up his chest. My husband, Harry Potter, not moving. He had no pulse. I couldn't belive it. The prophecy said it was only one of them who had to die. But it also said something we couldn't figure out. 'If the girl will play with the time, she might save the one she loves'. These words were playing around my head. Play with the time. How? All the time turners were destroyed. Nothing was clear, my mind was blurry, I couldn't process what was happening. Troughts were running around my head, a lot of feelings were playing with my heart. I had a sentiment of guilt for no reason. I felt I should've done more. I wrapped my hands around my lover's torso, crying in his chest.
I was laying next to his dead body, now on a hospital bed. 'It was all a dream, none of it was real' . I repeated, hugging my husband's corpse next to me. I closed my eyes, a few tears holding my eyelashes down. My breath started getting slower and my troughts weren't rushing around my head anymore.
'Wake up! Damn, y/n, we have to go to class. GET UP!', I felt a hand shaking my shoulder. I opened my eyes. I got up on my elbows, looking around. I was in my dorm and hermione was looking at me with an angry look.
'Now we're gonna be late!' she exclaimed.
'What day is today?' I said, completely confused. 'Lavander! You're alive!'
''Course I am.' she giggled and left the dorm.
'It's Thursday. And get up already!'
'Where's Ron?' I said and looked around. Everything was fine. You looked on the window. Hogwarts was untouched, it looked like in the 4th year.
'You said you didn't wanted to meet him after all I said about him and harry, and if you care, they are asleep. They won't show up in charms, they say it's boring. I don't like how they think, it should be one of their priori-'
'HARRY IS ALIVE?' I cut off hermione.
'you're getting suspicious. What's got into you? Also, you better get ready while you tell me'
'Nothing, all good. We're in 4th year!' I exclaimed, like I made a huge discovery.
'No shit sherlock. Grab your stuff and let's go'
I followed Hermione's instructions. She were oblivious about the fact that we just won in a war, that Harry was dead and-
'HARRY' I screamed. He was on the corridor. Apparently, he was not missing the charms class. But he was there. Alive. Like I wanted him to be. But he was different. His hair was longer, his muscles were smaller and he was way shorter then usual.
'Do I know you-. Oh! you're Y/n, aren't you? ' he asked.
'Uh- yes. Sorry, I didn't meant to- uh- disturb -'
'It's alright, don't worry. What's wrong?'
'Nothing - erm - I'll tell you later. We should go to class now.'
We got in the charms class, but I didn't pay attention at all. I was in 4th year, none of my friends knew where I came from. 'Is this what the play with the time thing means?'. I knew what was gonna happen. I knew where the hocruxes were. Maybe if I told dumbledore about all this? He probably wouldn't believe nothing. Maybe I was the crazy one.
'Class dismissed!' professor Flitwick said. I sighed. I should tell Harry what to do. It was one week before the first task and he was probably desperate for answers. Before the boys headed off to the divination class, I tapped harry's shoulder.
'Hey, um- harry?', I looked at him with concerned eyes.
'Meet me at 1 am in the Gryffindor common room. And come alone. It's nothing dangerous or stuff like that, you don't have to grab your wand. No questions. I'll answer everything tonight.'
'Only one question, um, how can I trust you? There are a lot of people who want me dead nowadays.'
Harry gulped and turned around to leave. I grabbed his wrist and sighed.
'Fine. Soon, you will see badges with Potter stinks and malfoy wearing one. You are meeting with sirius, your godfather, almost every week at hogsmade. You don't want any attention, but you still get it. There is gonna be a ball and you'll go with Pavarti. Everyone thinks you like hermione, but you've got a crush on cho right now. Belive me now?'
'The one with the cho is not true, but as you said, no questions. See you know-it-all-y/n'
I wonder how creepy I looked. Telling a boy I just met to meet me at 1 in the morning. But I had no other ideea.
I was on my bed, thinking about what should I say to Harry. Will he belive me? Will he accept my help? The only rule is,
Don't fall in love with him.
How could it be possible? Meeting my future boyfriend, husband, when he was 14. He was hot even if he was just fourteen. But this was not my problem. I had only to change harry's fate, not to mess up the whole time line. In the 3rd year heemione almost got caught for playing with the time. Who knew what could've happened? Got killed, or worst, expelled. Or maybe-
'So, why do you have to meet Harry at 1 o'clock on a Wednesday? You never talked to him because you said you were too shy and you didn't want to mess up your first impression with your dear crush' Hermione asked with a suspicious look, saying the word "crush" a bit louder. Lavander and Pavarti turned their head in her direction.
I woke up from my troughts and looked at her,
'Damn hermione, you don't have to expose me like that. And how do you know about har-
'I've got my methods. Now will you tell me? You've been acting all weird this morning'
'It's complicated. You wouldn't understand. I will tell you, but I don't think this is the right time. Now if you excuse me, I have to go'
Wow, the-girl-that-i-had-a-crush-on-for-one-year talked to me! And she also asked me to meet her at 1 o'clock in a night. Okay, not strange. That's what normal people do, right? Meet at night, talk, spend time together, kiss, make out, fuc- no that's too much. okay, okay, now let me come back to the reality. she will probably tell me something or give me something... I'm fourteen and I'm a virgin tho-. I feel sorry for my mind.
I look at the clock. 12 : 45. Maybe I'll go now and wait there, I don't wanna hear Ron's snoring anymore.
I grab my cloack and get out of bed. I open the door slowly, trying to be as silent as possible. I see the red, familiar light in front of the common room and a pretty figure, with messy hair and some oversized pyjamas. She turned around and looked all over the room. Her eyes were glossy, her lips looked soft and reddish and her cheeks were pink in the light.
"Who's there?" she asked, her voice sounded angelic and melodic, as always.
"The ghost of Merlin came to sacrifice you for the gods" I said jokingly.
Her eyebrows furrowed in concern, but then she relaxed when I took off my cloack.
"Not funny!" she exclaimed, letting out a giggle. "I have to tell you lots. We might stay here until the morning"
She pat on the couch, telling me to sit down, next to her.
"Listen very carefully. I will not tell you twice. Okay, harry, -" he shut his eyes. " - are you listening?"
"I have to keep my eyes closed, you're distracting"
"Stop flirting" she said, even if it was obvious she was blushing.
"Shut up and listen" she said and I grinned, opening my eyes. "I have a long story..."
"We'll have time for something else later? I said and raised my eyebrow.
"You're bloder at night, aren't you?" I was the one to blush now. I don't know what's gotten into me, I was way too flirty. And this doesn't happen very often. I felt a bond between myself and y/n since the day she got sorted into Gryffindor, even though I never had a chance to have a normal conversation with her until now. Or is this a normal conversation? It looked more like a secret date it the middle of the night. My troughts travelled then to the way y/n looked. Her pretty e/c eyes were looking at my scar, but I didn't care. Her beautifully messed hair was like Hermione's, in every direction. But it was way prettier then Hermione's. Her cheeks that turned rosy just because I said a simple pick-up line, and -
"I can take a photograph and you can look at it all day, but right now it's not the moment to admire my beautiful face. I'm serious, I've got a lot to tell you!"
"I trought Sirius was my godfather" I smirked.
"OKAY, LISTEN! I love your dad jokes but it's not time for them, understand?" when she reached the word 'understand', she grabbed my shoulders and pulled them closer to her, so our faces were just some inches away. I looked in her eyes. I could've get lost in those eyes, I always adored them. But I had to pay attention.
"Okay, don't get aggressive! You go, I'm listening."
"Good. Its very important. I have to tell you from the very beginning. First, you have to act like you're not interested in me until the 5th year. Got that?" I blinked in confusion, but I nodded. "Great. Let the things happen, do them your way, however you want. You're gonna do great. Bad thing are gonna happen. Very, very bad things. But you're gonna get through all those things. But what I want to tell you, is the future."
"Who are you, Trelawney?" I chuckle softly and her cheeks flush pink again.
"Very funny. Now listen. You might think I'm crazy or a psycho, but all I'm gonna tell you it's real. I'm from the future. More exactly, from your 7th year. There was a war, or better said, in going to be. And you died. So I'm here to tell you how to prevent that. "
I trought she was joking, but her eyes were full of concern and her lips were trembling worryingly. I sighed, wanting to belive her.
"How can I know you're not lying? Can you answer me some questions?"
"I've got all the time in the world." she said and smiled, but it was a kind of sad smile.
"Who do I like at the moment?"
"You've got a crush on me, but you think I'm too good for you"
I gulped. She was right, it was correct.
"C'mon, everyone knows that"
"What's Ron's favourite meal?" I asked, trying not to laugh.
"Why would you ask me that?"
"If you were my friend in the future, then you have to know that" this sounded so wrong, even if I sucked at grammar.
"Correction: girlfriend, fiancée. And that is a trick question. Ron loves every type of food."
"I WILL HAVE A FIANCÉE AT 17??"
"Yep, I'm also your first girlfriend"
So I did it. My future self did it. He proposed to the girl I had a crush on and I was daydreaming everyday. I smiled and hid my face in my knees, hugging them. Then, when I showed my figure again, y/n was looking at me with doe eyes. I took advantage of the small room between our faces and leaned in. Then it happened. I kissed her lips, her soft lips that I touched only in my dreams. They were way sweeter then I trought, I felt like I was drowning in a pool full of chocolate. It was definitely the best feeling in the world. How our lips moved in sync, how she was smiling in the kiss. The I pulled out to fill my lungs with the cold air in the gryffindor common room. I looked at her and she said:
"Now I have to obliviate you" she moved her lips, forming a little pout. "You're lucky I didn't bring my wand and hermione is a light sleeper."
"Please don't, I swear I will not touch you again until the 5th year."
She giggled. Music to my ears, I could've listen to it every day and every night.
"Don't worry, but listen. You will ask me out first at the beginning of the 5th year, on our first date you will bring dentalions and take me to the Black Lake, on a Sunday. I don't wanna change nothing about our relationship. Got it?"
"You think you got it? Or you're a hundred percent sure you got it?" she said, biting her bottom lip and looking straight in my eyes.
"A hundred and one percent sure"
"Okay, good. Listen very carefully. When you're gonna fight with Voldemort, you have to kill him with expelliarmus. You used avada kadavra, and you died. So use expelliarmus. Always. And please, stay safe. I have no ideea how I'm gonna get out of this time line, but that's all that I'm supposed to tell you. Or atleast I hope so."
"Okay, let me resume : in 3 years, there's gonna be a war, you'll gonna be my fiancée, and I have to use expelliarmus instead of avada kadavra?
"What about our first date?"
"Black Lake, Sunday, dantelions. Got it."
"Great. And don't tell the future me what happened now. She will probably don't know. And act like this didn't happen, okay? Hermione already heard of it and I have to obliviate her..."
I smiled and nodded. It's sad she will forget this moment. It is and will be very meaningful to me, even if I'm very confused. To know my future? That's huge.
"Don't you wanna stay here for a little more bit? After you obliviate hermione, of course"
"Sure, I'm not tired at all" she smiled and got up, trying to be as silent as possible.
I waited, hoping hermione is not gonna wake up. Maybe before she gets back, we could cuddle or something... I was scared. Truly scared. A war, bad things and all that stuff? It was terrorizing, really. I couldn't even think of what will happen. I just had to wait. Like y/n told me. To do everything I my way, how I think so. Maybe this could also be a life lesson for me...
"I'm back, harry!", her angelic voice exclaimed.
"Why, hello there, y/n. Did the spell work?"
"Yeah, I hope so. In the 4th year I'm not the best at charms"
"You better be sure, I don't wanna lose that know-it-all. I need the history of magic notes"
We both laughed silently. It was such a satisfying feeling to know that my crush likes my jokes, even if they're the baddest jokes I know. We both sat there for a few minutes, looking at each other and smiling. I couldn't belive this was realty.
"So.... What now?" y/n asked quietly.
"What we usually do in the future, like a couple?" I asked excited.
"Hmm... Make out, cuddles, massages, movies, chess, rendez-vous, sneak out at the Black Lake, dance, more cuddles... Future Harry loves cuddles"
"Present Harry also loves cuddles" I grin.
"Do you mind if we..?" we both said at the same time, with the same happy energy. Smiled even wider then before and I opened my arms for her. She leaned in hugged my torso, her head on my chest. She was so warm, I could've trought she's sick. But I was the sick one. I was sick of her, crazy for her love and personality, for her beautiful face and body, for her insecurities, for everything. I never realised that I loved her, I just trought I had a little crush.
"Don't tell this to future me" she broke the silence.
Then she held me tighter and closed her eyes, falling in a deep sleep. I was so comfortable with her, I wished that moment would never end. But it had to come back to normal. And she will forget, I couldn't spend any time with her before the 5th year. Her breath started to get slower, meaning she was in a deep sleep. That was my sign to bring her back to her dorm.
I carefully took her in my hands and started to walk in the girls' dormitories. I placed her on the bed, then I got out.
In my dorm, Ron's snoring was way louder then y/n's cute, little snores. I got on the bed and fell asleep in seconds.
I woke up on a hospital bed, surrounded by a lot of people.
"She's up! Hey, y/n can you hear me? Love?" a familiar voice spoke.
I opened my eyes and in a nanosecond someone hugged me, so tight that they could break my bones. But then I realised. It was Harry. Alive and safe.
"Yeah, sweetheart, that's me" his voice said in a meek tone.
But then I saw him, his messy hair, emerald eyes and his round glasses, right under his scarred forehead. He was concerned, very concerned. I could see it on the look on his face. A tear formed in my eye, then I hugged him.
"Never leave me again, Harry"
"I love you too, so much"
