Harry Potter and What Happened After - Sahits

his best friend and thanking the gods for the day he'd decided to sit with him in that compartment on
the Hogwarts express.
"No worries mate, see you there," Ron answered back, walking out of the door and disappearing down
the hallway.
Harry pulled a red velvet box with a gold fastening out of his dress robe pocket, inside was a note with
his name on it, it read
To my little Harry,
Your father gave me these on our first valentine's day together, I wore them on our wedding day only a
year later. Throughout the generations of Potter's, these have been worn by every woman on her
wedding day to 1000 years. Please carry on this tradition by giving these to your lovely bride. We're so
sorry we couldn't be there to see you grow up but one day we'll all be together again.
We love you so much,
Mum and Dad
A stray tear escaped his emerald eyes as he read the letter again, before placing it on his bedside table
and leaving the room, the box still clasped in his hand.
As he walked up the stairs to the room he and Ginny shared he thought about how he had found the box
a few days before while searching his family's library. The box had been in the desk that Harry had
been using to do his research. He had found it when he opened one of the draws looking for more
parchment to take notes on. There the box had been, a thick layer of dust coating it. He had picked it up
and opened it, finding the note to be amazing, and what was inside even more so.
Once he reached Ginny's bedroom door, he wasn't sure what to say to her. What if she didn't like them
or already had jewelry? Pushing his fears aside, he gathered all his courage and knocked on her
bedroom door, promptly hearing Hermione telling Ginny to disappear in case it was Harry.
"Gin," he called to the closed door as he got to the room, "I need to give you something."

Ginny was in the bathroom of the room she and Harry shared. The white fabric of her dress flowed
down Ginny's smooth, pale skin as she slipped into it, her feet covered by the many folds of fabric. The
dress was made of a flowing white material, so soft to the touch that it felt like water, the top was a
strapless corset with tiny diamantes sown on in an elegant pattern.
"Hermione," she called, "do I look ok?" she asked as she stepped out of the bathroom and into the
bedroom Harry and her shared at Potter manor, Molly just behind her.
"You look amazing" she said, a tear coming to her eye as she glimpsed at her soon to be sister-in-law,
"truly beautiful."
And she did, Ginny's hair was curled loosely and pinned on top of her head; a few stray ringlets
framing her face, mixing beautifully with her slightly glossed lips and pink eyelids.
"There's something missing though" said Hermione voicing her thoughts out loud, noticing the lack of
jewelry, just then there was the sound of footsteps coming up the stairs.
"Get inside the bathroom Ginny, that might be Harry!" whispered Hermione, gently nudging the teen
back into her bathroom. Hermione shut the door quickly, and could still hear Ginny's protests that she
and Harry weren't doing that stupid muggle superstition thing.
"Gin?" called a familiar voice through the closed door, "there's something I need to give you"
