A/N Hello! This idea just popped into my head, and the story just developed from 
there. This is a Ron/Hermione and Harry/Ginny romance story. It is set on a 
tropical Island about a year after they have all left Hogwarts. They are the 
only ones living on the Island (that's Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Fred and 
George) I hope you like it, please review!

Disclaimer: Okay, okay, I hate doing these, but I have to otherwise everyone 
will shout at me. Here goes: Everything you recognise from the Harry Potter 
books belongs to Joanne Kathleen Rowling. The book 'What Katy Did' is by Susan 
M. Coolidge. If you think that either of these belongs to me, you are strange.

I Had A Dream


It was a beautiful hot sunny day, and Harry Potter was lying beside the swimming 
pool in his back yard. He had a tall glass of Gillywater resting on his chest, 
and a packet of 'Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans' open beside him. It was 
funny, thought Harry, that he had ended up living on a tropical island with his 
best friends. After he had left Hogwarts, Dumbledore had advised him to 
immigrate to another country, so he could escape the grasp of You-Know-Who. So 
far things were working out okay, but it was only a matter of time before Ron 
and Hermione had another big row, and before Fred and George had blown up 
another toilet. He was speculating these things when his friends came outside. 
They were all wearing their bathing suits, as he was. Hermione had tanned a dark 
brown, and really looked quite beautiful, but she wasn't the one that Harry 
liked in that way, not really. He took a deep drink of his Gillywater, but spat 
it out again as he saw Ginny. She was wearing a silver bikini, and she had done 
her hair up, but so that a few curls were left hanging around her face. If 
Hermione had looked beautiful, then Ginny looked astounding. He shook his head, 
he had to focus!

They all came and sat in sun loungers near him, except Ron and Hermione who 
climbed into the pool and began swimming.

Fred and George put on identical pairs of sunglasses, so you could not tell who 
was who. Ginny took out a book. It was called What Katy Did. Harry had never 
heard of it before.

"What did Katy do?" he asked Ginny.

"What? Oh, I don't know, I've only just started it." Replied Ginny.

"Oh. Is it good?"

"Yes, so far, I've got to the part when Katy has just lost her bonnet." Said 
Ginny.

"Oh." Said Harry again. "Who wrote it?"

"Susan M. Coolidge." Said Ginny without looking up.

"Oh." Replied Harry, yet again. 'What is with me?' he asked himself 'Why am I 
doing this? I've always been able to talk to Ginny normally before, she's the 
one who has a crush on me, not the other way around!' but these thoughts did not 
comfort him.

He decided to tear his thoughts away from Ginny for a while, and instead 
concentrated on Ron and Hermione. They were having a furious water fight from 
either end of the pool. They looked like they were having fun. Harry lay back in 
his lounger and stared up at the piercingly blue sky. A dark shape was moving 
towards the villa, it was still quite a way off, and Harry couldn't make out 
what it was. As it came closer, Harry could see that it was a beautiful 
colourful parrot. It had a large parchment letter grasped in its beak. It 
swooped down over the villa and landed on Harry's shoulder, it's claws digging 
into his bare skin.

"Hello," he said, "what do you want?"

As if in answer, the bird dropped the letter it was holding into Harry's lap, 
and took off, scraping it's claws on his shoulder causing it to bleed.

"Ow!" he said.

"What's wrong?" asked Ginny looking up from her book.

"A parrot just came and delivered this letter, and his claws dug into my 
shoulder." Said Harry.

"Ooh, this cut looks quite deep, let me sort it out for you." She came and knelt 
down by Harry and used her wand to magic some antiseptic and plasters.

"Hey, birdbrain! You're a witch!" said George.

"Oh yeah!" said Ginny.

She took her wand, held it to Harry's cut and said 'mendus'. The blood and cut 
disappeared. Ginny smiled and ran her fingers over the place where the cut had 
been. Her touch made Harry feel all tingly inside.

"There. Is that better?" she asked.

"Yes thanks." Harry replied.

"So, who's the letter from?" asked Fred lifting his glasses to look at Harry.

"Oh, yeah, the letter." said Harry. In the confusion, he had forgotten about the 
letter. He slid his fingers under the seal and took the letter from the 
envelope. He began to read it out loud.

"Dear Mr Potter and Friends,
Our school, Robertson's College of Magic is having its annual ball on the fifth 
July. We would be honoured if you could come. It would mean so much to us, the 
small school that we are, to have a famous face in the crowd. Partners are 
required. Please could you reply to us as soon as possible? Thankyou.

Yours Graciously

Ida Robertson Headmistress"

"Well. What do you make of that?" asked George.

"Shall we go?" asked Fred.

"Partners are required," said Ron, "How are we going to manage that? There are 
only two girls on this entire Island!"

"Well, we can't go with Ginny," said George indicating himself, Fred and Ron, 
"so that leaves you Harry.

"Hermione can go with Ron." said Fred, grinning devilishly.

"What if I don't want to go with her?" asked Ron indignantly.

"Look Ron, you have to!" said George impatiently.

"Well what about you two, eh? It says partners are required, that means you have 
to have a partner." replied Ron.

"We know that, we can use a spell!" said George. He raised his wand, and cried 
"Accio Alicia!"

"Hey, great idea!" said Fred, he too raised his wand and said "Accio Angelina!" 
Everybody looked up at the sky expectantly. Soon, two girls came flying through 
the air, and landed in the swimming pool with a splash.

"How come I can't use a spell too?" asked Ron.

"Because then Hermione wouldn't have anyone to go with. Stupid!" replied Fred.

"But, but!" cried Ron.

"Oh fine! So now I'm not good enough for you to take to a dance, am I? You'd 
rather have someone who is pretty, wouldn't you! Yes, I know I'm not pretty, but 
there's no need to rub it in!" cried Hermione, and with that, she stormed off 
into the villa.

"Oh really great Ron, here we are on a tiny Island with no where to go, and you 
have to go and put your foot in it." said Ginny, and she too ran into the Villa, 
obviously to try and comfort Hermione.

"Nice one Ron." said Fred sarcastically.

"Yeah thanks, now we're going to have to listen to her moaning for the rest of 
the day!" said George.

Ron stared open mouthed at the group, and then he too stormed off into the 
Villa.

Fred and George then helped Angelina and Alicia out of the pool, and dried them 
off with a wave of their wands.

"What are we doing here?" asked a bewildered Alicia.

"We needed dates for a ball." said George simply, and the two girls seemed to 
accept this as a reasonable explanation.

Alicia and Angelina lay down in two of the empty loungers and lay back to enjoy 
the sun.

"I can't believe Ron, he really knows how to put his foot in it doesn't he? He 
knows how touchy Hermione can be." said Harry.

"Yeah," replied George idly, "but I didn't notice you objecting to going with 
Ginny, I thought you would, you know how annoying she can be."

"Well I didn't want to cause any trouble." said Harry. He hoped this sounded 
convincing, because really, he didn't mind going with Ginny, not one bit.

"Yeah sure," said Fred, "I saw you ogling her when she came out here."

"I was not!" said Harry. 'Please don't go red now, please don't go red now.' he 
thought to himself.

"Sure." said George almost lazily.

"It's true!"

* * *

"Ooh I really hate Ron!" said Hermione to no one in particular.

"Yeah, I know, I can be a real jerk sometimes, can't I?" Ron stood in the 
doorway. He grinned almost apologetically.

"Ron!" said Hermione surprised.

"I'm sorry, Hermione, I didn't mean it that way, you know I'd love to go to the 
ball with you."

"Ron, you're mad!" Hermione grinned.

"Friends?" Ron asked.

"Definitely." replied Hermione, and she flung her arms round Ron's neck.

Their hug lasted longer than it perhaps should have, and as they drew apart, 
Hermione could feel Ron's eyes boring through her.

"Ron I-"

"Shhh." Ron put his finger to her lips, and then they kissed.

"Hermione? I just came to see if you were all right-" Ginny stopped, "oh," she 
said as she saw Ron and Hermione. "I guess you are."

Ginny ran down the stairs and bumped into Harry who was coming up the stairs.

"Sorry Harry," she said glancing up, "you'll never guess what I just saw!"

"Umm, Professor Snape dressed as Neville's Grandmother?" Harry guessed.

"No! Don't be stupid. I just saw Ron and Hermione, and they were, you know, 
kissing!" Ginny giggled.

"Did you just say what I thought you said?" asked Harry. "Did you just say that 
Ron and Hermione, the two people who have had more rows than anyone actually 
kissed?"

"Yep! Wait 'til I tell Fred and George!" Ginny dashed off in the direction of 
the pool.

'Who'd have thought it? Ron and Hermione?' said Harry to himself.

* * *

"Well, goodnight everyone, I'm off to bed." said Ginny happily. She'd just had 
the best night of her life, Fred and George had teased Ron mercifully, and he 
looked as though he'd be red forever.

She hurried up to her room. The Villa was so large that there was enough space 
for everyone to have their own room. No one had to share with anyone.

'But,' she thought, 'sharing with a certain someone wouldn't be so bad.' she 
smiled inwardly, glad that her brothers couldn't see what she was thinking. She 
climbed into her bed and drifted off to sleep.

The next morning was sunny and bright, and Ginny awoke with a strange feeling. 
She had had a very weird dream last night, and she had to tell someone about it. 
She decided that she didn't particularly want to tell her brothers; they'd make 
fun of her, and there was no way she could tell Harry, no way. So that left 
Hermione. She'd always been able to tell Hermione anything, she was a kind of 
big sister to her.

She got dressed and tried to tame her unruly hair. She then walked up to 
Hermione's room, and knocked on the door.

"Come in," said Hermione's voice from inside.

"Hi Hermione, it's me." said Ginny.

"Oh, hi Gin," she said, and then caught sight of Ginny's troubled face, "what's 
wrong?"

"Oh, it's nothing much, I just had a really weird dream last night, some sort of 
premonition."

"Not turning into Harry are we?" Hermione joked. To her surprise, Ginny started 
crying.

"Hey Gin, it can't be that bad, I mean, dreams don't always come true you know." 
Hermione said, she had always thought any sort of Divination to be stupid.

"It was that bad." Ginny gasped.

"Do you want to tell me?" Hermione asked. Ginny nodded.

"I was having a swim in the pool, when this thing came flying through the air 
and landed beside me, with a big splash. I was scared so I climbed out, and the 
thing followed me. I was really surprised when I saw that it was a house elf. I 
asked the elf it's name and it said 'You is not knowing my name! My name is 
Dobby, and I is Harry Potter's friend.' I asked it what it wanted with me, and 
it said 'Begging your pardon miss, but I is not entitled to be telling you that, 
but I is thinking that this letter will explain it.' Then it gave me a letter. 
Then it said 'I is awfully sorry miss, but Dobby is having to go now miss, and 
don't be upset miss, because you is who Harry Potter loves the best.' Then it 
disappeared." Ginny said the last word with a sob.

"It's just a dream Ginny, nothing is going to happen." Hermione put a comforting 
arm around her.

"But it seemed so real, and," Ginny faltered, "I found this under my pillow when 
I woke up." She handed Hermione an envelope.

Hermione opened it and read the content in silence.

Dear Miss,
I is a humble house elf going by the name of Dobby. I is too cowardly to be 
telling you in person, so I is thinking I should write it down. Harry Potter is 
going to die by the work of a man called Wormtail. I is sorry to be the one who 
is having to tell you, and I is thinking that you is the best to be telling as 
it is you who Harry Potter is loving the best. Harry Potter is being killed on 
the fifth July at a dance. There is only one way of stopping the man called 
Wormtail, and that is to be showing Harry Potter that you is loving him too, 
because nothing is being stronger than the bond of love. I is humbly sorry for 
troubling you, and I is having to go now. 
Dobby

"Is this the letter the elf gave you in your dream?" breathed Hermione.

Ginny nodded fearfully.

"Oh Ginny! I don't know what to say! Do you think we should tell Harry?" said 
Hermione.

"No." replied Ginny. The two girls sat in silence for a few minutes, silent 
tears running down Ginny's cheeks.

"Do you love him?" Hermione asked quietly.

Ginny nodded, the tears streaming down her face harder than ever.

"That's okay then, it says in the letter that he won't be killed if you love 
him." said Hermione.

"I know, but how do I show that I love him?" Ginny asked.

"Just do what comes naturally, and you'll be fine." said Hermione.

"I don't want him to die!" cried Ginny.

"He won't, but it's up to you," Hermione gave Ginny a quick hug, "come on, we 
have to go down to breakfast, the boys will be wondering where we are."

Ginny gave her a watery smile. She stood up and dried her eyes. At that moment, 
someone knocked on the door. The someone pushed it open. It was Harry.

"Come, on, it's time for breakfast," he said cheerfully, "you all right?" he 
asked Ginny noticing her red blotchy face.

"Yes I'm fine," she lied. She smiled at him, "come on, then, lets go." She was 
smiling on the outside, but on the inside she was aching. His green eyes had 
looked so full of concern, how could she live if he died? It was up to her to 
make sure he didn't die, but she wasn't really sure how she was supposed to go 
about it.

* * *

Two days later saw the night of the dance on the next Island. Ginny was nervous. 
Tonight she would have to face the unknown to stop Harry dieing. She had tried 
to make herself look as nice as possible. She was wearing floaty blue robes and 
she had her hair up again, letting a few curls fall around her face. She 
descended the stairs slowly, dreading what was going to happen.

Harry didn't feel that confident either. He was going to a dance with Ginny, the 
person he had fallen for, and he hadn't even had the bother of asking her, it 
had been arranged like this. He looked up at the stairwell as Ginny came down.

"How do I look?" she asked.

"Enchanting." replied Harry. Ginny gave him a strange look.

"Shall we go then? Everyone else already has." asked Ginny.

Harry nodded. "Okay, after three, one two three." with a small pop, they 
disapperated and then apparated on the Island next to theirs, where the dance 
was being held.

Harry took Ginny's hand in his and walked into the large hall, where the dance 
was being held. The hall wasn't as large as the one at Hogwarts, but it had the 
same sort of enchanted ceiling. As they entered the hall, a silence fell and 
many of the students looked at his hairline, where the lightning shaped scar 
was. After a few seconds, a thin woman came over to them. The noise resumed.

"I am Professor Ida Robertson, the headmistress of Robertson's College of Magic. 
Welcome." Ida had a sharp cold voice, unlike any Harry had heard before. "Come 
this way." she said.

Harry and Ginny followed Ida to a large table where Fred, George, Angelina, 
Alicia, Ron and Hermione were already seated. She led them to the centre of the 
table and instructed them to sit. Ida then stood up, and waved her hands. 
Immediately, the hall fell silent.

"I would like you all to resume to your seats. The feast will now begin." she 
waved her hands again, and food appeared on the tables. "Tuck in." she said to 
the students.

The food was marvellous, and it wasn't very long before it had all been eaten. 
Once again Ida stood up, waved her hands, and silence fell. "I hope you all 
enjoyed the feast. The dance will now begin." She waved her arms and the tables 
and chairs disappeared. Music began playing from somewhere.

"Shall we dance?" Harry asked Ginny. She nodded mutely. Harry led her onto the 
dance floor. He put one arm around her waist and the other on her shoulder. They 
began to dance, spinning around. Neither said anything, they just stared into 
each other's eyes. They were still dancing four songs later, and were enjoying 
themselves thoroughly. Ginny had even forgotten about Dobby's warning. The 
happiness wasn't to last though.

The music faltered, and the hall fell silent, but this time it was not Ida's 
doing. A short fat man wearing robes of black entered the hall. He pushed his 
way through the crowd, and made his way to where Harry and Ginny were standing. 
The crowd encircled the three of them watching intently. Ginny was trembling.

"What do you want?" asked Harry.

"I have orders to kill you." said the man, who was unmistakably Wormtail. The 
crowd gasped.

"What?" replied Harry.

"I am going to kill you Harry Potter, nice and slowly." replied Wormtail.

"I should have let them kill you when I had the chance!" cried Harry.

"But you didn't, did you. And this time there's no one to save you, unless you 
count that pathetic piece of scum!" he spat at Ginny's feet.

"When you save someone's life, you don't expect them to kill you!" said Harry.

Most of the crowd didn't have a clue what he was talking about, only Ron and 
Hermione knew.

"Yes, but I am not ordinary. You only stopped them killing me because they were 
your Father's friends, but I was also your Fathers friend, I helped kill him, 
and now I shall kill you." said Wormtail, a smile playing on his lips. "Nothing 
can save you."

He raised his wand and pointed it at Harry. "It's time to die Harry Potter."

"Ginny, I never had time to tell you before," said Harry hurriedly, "I love you, 
I always have, and I always will, don't ever forget me."

"Avadis Kedavras!" shouted Wormtail. A shot of purple light came out of his 
wand. It hit Harry, and he fell. Harry knew what Wormtail was doing, he was 
using the Avada Kedavra curse in a different way, he was using the curse that 
killed slowly, draining all their energy, and causing them great pain. He could 
feel Ginny's arms around him, he could hear her crying, he could just see the 
outline of her vivid red hair. She was saying something.

"I love you Harry, I won't ever forget you, I love you." she lay her head upon 
him and cried.

Harry felt himself floating. He could still hear Ginny's voice. She was still 
crying. Slowly, her voice echoed away into nothing. Harry looked around him. He 
could see a woman with long red hair, and a man with messy black hair, not 
unlike his own. His parents. They smiled at him.

"Harry, it is not time yet. You must return. She needs you, can you not see?" 
said his mother

"Go back Harry." said his Dad.

The ghostly forms of Lily and James took him by his arms, and guided him back. 
He could hear voices again. He could hear girls crying and boys shouting. He 
opened his eyes and everything came back into focus. He saw Ginny still crying, 
leaning over him, and beyond her he could see Ron, Hermione, Fred and George. 
They were all pale, and Hermione was crying.

"He's opened his eyes, look!" he heard an unfamiliar voice say. He felt Ginny 
sit up, and stare into his eyes.

"Harry, you're alive!" she said.

"Shhh." said Harry. He pulled her closer and kissed her. The kiss lasted a long 
time, and when they broke apart, Ginny began to cry again.
"Shhh, I'm here now, it's all right, I'll never leave you again." said Harry. 
They kissed again, and didn't pull apart for a long time.
