Disclaimer: I still don't own Harry Potter, but I do own Sarah.

Chapter 3

"Where did he go?!" demanded Shacklebolt, looking frantically all over the room.

"Harry are you alright? You look like you're about to be sick" asked a concerned Hermione, slowly brushing the fringe of his hair out of his eyes.

Harry didn't hear her, he was too busy staring at his daughter and remembering everything he just saw, inculding her birth. He was eventually pulled out of his thoughts by Hermione's soft caress down his cheek.

"'Mione, I need you to be completely honest with me, do you love me?" asked Harry, his eyes never leaving Sarah, as she snuggled closer to him.

Following his eyes to their daughter, she took his chin and force him to look at her. "Yes Harry I do love you. I've loved you since you saved me from that stupid mountain troll in first year."

"Good, beacuse I tired of hiding how I feel. Hermione I love you. I have since second year when you woke up, but I didn't know what it was until after Sirius died. I love you so much that I stop breathing everytime you enter the room, every touch sets my blood on fire. I love you so much that you were the reason I beat Him. The power the knows not was my love for you..."

Hermione didn't need to heat the rest, she crashed her lips to his, careful of their daughter. Harry intantly responsed by flicking her bottom lip with his tongue silently asking her to open her mouth. She opened her mouth to him and he hungrily explored and tasted every inch of her mouth.

"I love you 'Mione. Always and Forever baby." said Harry, when he finally had to come up for air, resting his forehead on hers to look her in the eye.

"I love you Harry. Always and Forever baby." replied Hermione, looking into his emerald green eyes that were filled with his love for her.

"Excuse us but Harry what did he tell you?" asked Mr. Weasley, unable to keep quiet any longer.

"It was for me only. I'm sorry I can't tell you, that's just the way it has to be." replied Harry, finally taking his eyes off of Hermione. "But if you'll excuse us we things to do; mainly putting our daughter to bed. 'Mione, you ready?" He asked as he stood in front of her.

"Yes, I'm ready." Then without a second look they left the office. As they walked Harry made sure that Sarah was secure in his arms before using his free hand to take Hermione's and intertwined their fingers.

Once outside of the front doors Harry released Hermione's hand so he could make sure that Sarah was shielded from the cold night air. Once she was, he took her hand again. "'Mione, will you be my girlfriend?"

"What about Ron and Ginny?" She stopped walking when she said this, as if reality was just sinking in. Was this her chance to be with Harry? Will she lose both Ron and Ginny's friendships?

"We tell them the truth. Besides I think that Ron fancies Luna and Ginny fancies Draco anyways. I won't lie anymore I want to be with the woman I love, the mother of my daughter." replied Harry, looking straight into her eyes so that she knew he was telling the truth.

"Your right, we can't lie anymore. Besides I don't want Ron thinking he's Sarah's father or Ginny thinking that she's her mother." as she spoke a sense of protectiveness for her daughter cane over her. "But they can be Godparents if they want."

Harry couldn't hide his smile at hearing Hermione get protective of Sarah, especially since he felt the same way. "Love, neither will think that they are her parents, for one she has your eyes and two she has my hair. As for Godparents I couldn't agree more."

Once in Hogsmade Harry gave Sarah to Hermione so that he could apparate first to prevent any conflicts, should they arise. "I love you both." Before he left he gave them both a quick kiss.

When Harry arrived in Godric Hollow he was surprised to see everyone sitting in front of the fireplace cuddling into two sets of lovers. Ginny was sitting on Draco's lap while snuggling into his chest. Luna was sitting identical on Ron's lap. Both men had their arms wrapped protectively around their respective women.

Without letting them know that he was home he went outside to wait for Hermione and Sarah. Seconds later she appeared. "Is the coast clear?"

"I haven't told them we're back. I thought that you should see them first." He said, leading her into the house. He stopped just outside the living room.

"It seems that everyone's future will be changing tonight." said Harry, struggling not to laugh at the sight of the couples jumping apart.

"Whatcha talkin' about Harry?" asked Ron, trying not to look at either Harry or Hermione.

"Who's baby is that?" asked Ginny, noticing the black hair sticking out of the blanket.

Harry took Hermione's hand before he answered. "Our daughter, Sarah Lillian Potter. As for what I was talking about Ron, was that you seem to care more about Luna than you do about Hermione. You Ginny seem to care more about Draco that you do about me. So it actually all works out."

"How do you two have a daughter? How did you know about Draco and I?" asked Ginny, her face was almost as red as her hair.

"It doesn't take a genius to figure it out Ginny. It's in the way you look at each other, the way your face lits up whenever he enters the room. But as for Sarah, she's our daughter from the future. I came back in time to save her and to try to prevent Hermione and our son's death. I can't explain anymore. I'm sorry, Ron and Ginny but I love 'Mione and I'm tired of hiding it. I want to be with her and nothing is going to stop me. So as a way of a peace treaty Ron and Ginny will you be Sarah's Godparents?"

"You come here and tell me that you love my girlfriend and nothing is going to stop you, well sorry about your luck cause I'll stop you..." Ron didn't bother finishing his sentence as he sent the disarming charm at Harry.

With a wave of his free hand the spell changed direction and sent Ron flying backwards. "I'm stronger, remember Ron. But if you wish to continue." replied Harry, his voice surprisingly calm.

"Crucio"

After Harry caught the curse in his hand he let go of Hermione's hand, "Take Sarah upstairs to my room, I'll be up in a moment."

Hermione went upstairs horrified. If Ron could attack Harry, his best friend of nine years, he might attempt to hurt Sarah. And she was about to let that happen.

Once Hermione was out of the room, Harry squished the curse between his hands. "Draco, since Ron has obviosly declined being my daughter's Godfather, would you accept the position?" Ginny was your answer a 'yes' or a 'no' ?"Harry kept his voice calm.

"I would be honoured to be Sarah's Godfather Harry. Thank you for the priviliage." replied Draco, as he moved behind Harry, as if taking his side.

"I would love to be Sarah's Godmother Harry." said Ginny, moving over to stand beside Draco, and wrapped one arm around his waist as he wrapped arm around her shoulders.

"Fantastic. Now if you don't mind excusing us it's about time we lay it all on the table. Goodnight you, two." said Harry, hoping that he wasn't being rude but he wanted to deal with Ron on his own.

"How about we come by tomorrow for lunch to spend some quality time with our Goddaughter?" asked Ginny, catching Harry's intentions.

"Great, I look forward to it." With that Draco and Ginny disapparated out of Godric Hollow. "So Ron, care to tell me why won't accept that I love Hermione and want to be with her? Especially considering how close you and Luna seem to have gotten."

"She's mine, you can't have her. She said yes to ME not YOU! I won't let you take her from me." said Ron, as he pointed his wand at Harry and cast another Unforgivable Curse. "Avada Kedavra"

Hermione came downstairs after leaving Sarah with Dobby and Winky to see if Harry had made any progress with Ron. But instead she saw the green light shoot from Ron's wand to Harry, who jumped out of the way. "Harry!"

"Mione get upstairs with Sarah, now!" Harry hated to seem like he was ordering her but at the moment it was necessary. And as if somehow reading his mind, Hermione raced abck up the stairs to her daughter.

"Ronald, how could you do that? Let Harry have Hermione, we can be happy together you'll see." pleaded Luna, finally finding her voice.

"Oh shut up Loony Lovegood." said Ron, as he pointed his wand at her. "Avad..."

"Expelliarmus"

Ron flew backwards into the wall. "Luna get out of here before he wakes up and tries to hurt you again." said Harry, softly as not to scare her even more.

Without looking at the man she thought she loved, Luna apparated away in tears.
