The characters in this story does not belong to me. Harry Potter-verse belongs to J.K Rowling and Riddick-verse belongs to someone big-shot in Hollywood I think. This story is a fanfic of two previous works. I could never dream of writing as good as J.K Rowling or make as an awesome movie as pitch black. I get no money or royalties writing this story. Mere my idea of an interesting crossover, which means I'm not the original creator only the writer of this particular story.

*I have re-done a few things in the earlier chapters. I will correct more wrongs later during the summer.

*If you new to the story this chapter has now been made into one/two, will change number in later chapter since they used to be seven., that also will be fixed later.

* OBS! F.Y.I I´m also not native to the english language and a terrible speller. In the later chapters the spelling won´t be as bad for I got a great beta that has corrected most of my chapters.

Chapter one: The beginning

The war had taking a much longer time to end than anyone expected, wizard and witches had believed the victory was asserted with the death of Voldemort, but the death eathers proved soon after the lie of that idiotic illusion.

A week after the great battle at Hogwarts between he-who-must-still-not-be-named and the-boy-who-lived-twice the wrath of his followers made itself known when three Death Eaters one evening entered and killed over 50 patients at Saint Mungos Hospital for Orphan Children (SMHOC).

The aftermath was overwhelming. The brutal message paralyzed the community and the ministry, so once again Harry Potter was forced to fight for the wizard society.

The attack on SMHOC was the beginning of the silent war. A war that would frighten every magical being in Britain: The killings had no plan, reason or motive behind them. All the attacks that followed the dark lords death was just brutal and pointless. No one was safe. Pure bloods, half-bloods, muggle-borns, werewolves, vampires, goblins and other magical beings was all hunted down for slaughter.

The battles between the light and dark claimed many innocent bystanders life. The pure desperation on both sides to win the war had caused many fighters to take desperate action. Many had to sacrifice individuals in order to save whole populations.

Or in the bad guy's case take down anyone that is standing in their way.

Four years the war dragged on. Marred by dirty alley battles, shadow operation and genocide. It had not even been safe to leave the country. Butting Britain in a lock down. The survivors of the Domledores order fought bravely and when that wasn´t sufficient fought dirty. But alas, for a long time many believed the death eaters to be winning. Until one day the boy-who-lived stepped forward once again, challenging the remaining death eaters on a duel.

He prevailed. Bloody and weak Harry Potter had battle the dark order for three days on the high hills of Scotland. At last killing the last of the inner circle and thus winning the war.

Harry Potter had faced 130 dark wizards by himself on a Halloweens night five years after the Hogwarts battle and with one powerful sectumsempra managed to behead the last of the opponents, all in one sweep.

The war was over at last and the wizard world could finally celebrate the peace and start to heal their community.

Despite the heavy losses Harry Potter was, together with the rest of his family and friends that had survived, also celebrating by throwing a party at the Burrow in celebration of his and Ginerva Weasley's engagement.

…

It was the end of November and Great Britain was gifted by one last day of sun and warmth before the next spring and the Burrow was bustling with life.

The house was in uproar and exploding in activities, soon the first guest would arrive and the last touch were being made, all under the watchful eyes of Molly Weasley.

The Weasley family had not gone untouched by the war. They lost another three of their family members after Fred's death: Arthur Weasley, George Weasley and Charlie Weasley all died during the first year of the silent war. Only through cheer stubbornness and recklessness from Harry´s side did the remaining survivors make it.

Therefore Molly was not going to accept any imperfections or disturbers during the party and her children were terrified to draw her disapproval or attention. Bill Weasley and family were fixing the outside decorations that went in the classical theme of red and gold.

Billy was in charge of placing the table, party tent and other heavy objects while his six-year-old son Fredrick was helping his mother to place the silver on the table. Sharia their three-year old was helping granny Molly with the food,

Hermione Weasley, since three years back when Ron finally had the guts to propose to her, was placing out the flowers, lilies and roses enchanted to shift colours in different gold and red tones, around the garden and in the party tent. She was beautiful with her curled browned hair and deep red dress that was shoving of her pregnant body.

Ronald Weasley was in charge of securing all the devilish gnomes (NO WAY Molly was letting him anywhere near the fine crystals or any food items) and was running around with a big fish net. Even though it looked hilarious and everyone doubted his success Ron wasn't doing too badly. You could see little gnome's family's muttering and carrying their luggage toward the woods. The young man was prancing around afterwards and flexing his muscle which made all the women in the garden laugh at the redheaded chap who looked ridiculous in his orange and gold penguin suit which clashed with his brown eyes and freckled skin.

During the family preparation Ginny Weasley where spared from the chaos as she was getting ready. For the celebration Ginny had allowed Harry to buy an awfully expansive dress in pure cold, made of gold threads and coins seaweed on the top of the dress, and red silk band handmade by elves from Paris that were knotted in the back as a big bow. She looked amazing and couldn't wait for Harry to see her.

Ginny was by now 20 years old and a beautiful young women. Her red hair were cut short and framed her face in soft curls which brought out her ocean blue eyes and heart shaped face. She had reached a height of 167 cm and her body had developed to a pear shape figure. She was taller than Harry much to the man's annoyance so for the most part she tried to wear low heels.

Luna Lovegood and Sheila Wetterland, two of her closest friends, was there to help her get the dress on and beautify her even more for the day's events. Well, Sheila was doing the most of the work while Luna was chasing away all the workspurts that messed up people hair.

While the Weasley family was hard at work, Harry Potter was also preparing for the party in his home, the Tonks resident. After the death of her last family, the widow Andromeda Tonks laid claim on the young man in the name of her grandson Theodore, call me Teddy, Lupin. She and Molly had a big argument over what place was Harry's home, but thanks to Teddy the decision was easy for the young man for he did not want the baby to grow up alone or in want of anything.

The three members had a hard time at first since they had lost loved ones and the new war was raging with Harry in the middle, but they prevailed and soon they were inseparable as a family.

This day was no different, Teddy and Andy was helping our young hero to get dress for the part as both had already finished. Teddy was dresses in a golden suit which matched his gold tinted eyes and newly changed golden colour hair. At six years old the young genius was the spitting image of his father, but with his mother easy going temper and clumsiness. Andy was wearing a silver and green dress as she out most refused to be seen in gold or red, the colours did not suitable for an old Lady, and radiated maturity and wisdom. Her silver tinted hair, pale skin and deep black eyes made her boys realize what a beauty she most have been in her glory days.

Both Tonks members brought glory to their name and were trying hard to put together the assembly that Molly and Andy had agreed on for Harry. Both Andy and Teddy now how slow Harry can be so they more or less refuse the hero to fix himself. This was a good thing as Harry already before 7 o'clock that morning had tried to dress himself. The result of that had Teddy in a laughing fit for more than an hour, Andy in resign exasperation and an awkward barging deal from Harry to secure the secret of that incident.

The three family members were gathered in Harry's bedroom located on the second floor and Andy was trying to get the young man to undress himself so she could help him on with the suit.

"Come on Andy I can dress myself."

"Really… Harry… Dear. I love you, but you're a catastrophe when it comes to taste."

"ANDY."

"Granny isn't that a bit mean… even if it is true." Teddy said while looking with mischievous eyes on his father figure.

"TEDDY… you're supposed to be on my side." Harry exclaimed, looking with puppy eyes at his son.

"Sorry dad, but granny is the one with the candy key."

"Ahh… then I totally understand. You chocloholism is more important than your beloved father… sniff, very well I guess I just have to live with this betrayal." Harry made a dramatic gesture with his hand and threw himself backwards to land on the green covered bed. Teddy just bounced with the motion as he were placed at the head of the bed holding harry shirt in his hands.

"Dad, would you stop saying that. Granny is starting to think that is actually a disease that is called choclateholism and is thinking of putting me on a diet… A diet daddy."

"Oh, in that case… If that happens moonster, I promise to eat at least three chocolate bars infront of you every day." Andy just shook her head as her grandson made a war cry and attacked the half-naked man on the bed.

"BOYS." Andy bellowed. "Stop that at once. Teddy you will ruin your clothes and you Harry will get undress at once or I will show you how much of a Black I really am." Both boys force in the fake battle and looked at Andy with wide and scared eyes. Teddy jumped down from the bed and fixed his clothes while Harry got up and moved away from the scary Lady that had taken over his bedroom and closet.

Andy took a threatening step toward the young man who at the age of 21 still looked like a starved boy. His body was slim, pale and looked a lot like a women's body since it was more curved than sculptured. Not that the young man hadn't tried, Andy knew how much Harry had tried to get muscles and gain more height, but he was stuck looking like an elf with porcelain white skin, nest like brown hair that would never behave and at a height of 164 cm. His eyes were not helping with the boy like appearance either, since Harry had gone through eyes surgery to fix them during the war his forest green eyes dominated his angular face which more or less completed the youthful look.

"Harry… Place… Here… Now" Andy said as Harry wasn't moving fast enough for her taste and because she didn't want to think of the things that troubled her adopted son. Harry saw no way out of this humiliating event and with sloped shoulders and his head bowed he slowly approached his executor.

Teddy looked on as his grandmother dressed his 'daddy' and couldn't help to start laughing again at the resign look in Harry's eyes. Andy gave her grandson a stern look from her eye corner but Teddy just couldn't stop. Harry seeing the fun his 'son' had at his expanse decided for a little payback.

"Andy, did I forget to tell you but there will be no chocolate during the party today."

You could hear a pin drop. Teddy sat on the brown carpet that dominated the floor with his mouth hanging open and big horrifying eyes directed towards the adults. Andy tried not to smirk and concentrate on getting Harry into the almost black red pants and black socks.

"That to bad dear, I was looking forward to Molly's famous wild berry chocolate cake."

A whimper could be heard in the background and Harry's shoulder devil was laughing his ass of while the shoulder angel… was doing much the same.

"Mmhm. I agree, but we thought that chocolate would be bad with all the fine decorations."

"Oh, well. That was very mature of you and Ginny dear. "

Andy were done with the pants, socks and shoes and was by now working on the blood-red shirt and west with the golden snitches sewed in on the front that had a gold tinted tie to go with.

"But, but, but, but… You can't do that to me. I WANT chocolate." Teddy screamed when it had sunk in what the grownups were saying. The little six years old was suddenly feeling were sad and hurt for he loved chocolate so much. Harry seeing the tears in the boys eyes detached himself from Andy's caring hands and went down to Teddy's level and hugged him.

"Teddy, don't cry. I was just teasing you. Of course there will be chocolate."

"Sniff… You promise?"

"I promise, and I never go back on my promises to you."

Teddy hugged his dad back, peeking over Harry´s shoulder at his grandmother giving her a victorious smirk. Andy knew that even if Harry would never know it Teddy just won this round.

"Alright, that is enough; we still have a lot to do and so little time to do it. Harry, take your place again."

Harry looked up at Andy with exasperation and lifted teddy up to rest on his hip. He carried the little tyke to the bed so he could hand Andy the necessary items that was left and took his place in front of the women. Andy gave a humming approval as she buttoned up all the buttons, fixed the tie and combed through the hair nest on Harry's head the best she could. Soon Harry was almost ready; all that was missing was the golden jacket Ginny had decided on and the red coloured lily for the jacket pocket.

When Andy was done with the catastrophe by the name Harry Potter she took a step back and admired her work.

"It looks really great granny."

"Thank you sweaty, I must say I'm proud of the result."

"Does this mean I can go now?"

"Yeas Harry, you may go the Burrow now." Andy replied whiles rolling her eyes.

"Yes. Come on kiddo, time for some fun and party food."

"FOOD…. Let's go, let's go, let's go." Teddy shouted while rushing down the stairs with Harry close behind. Andy to a more dignified approached and walked down the stairs in a normal pace much to her boy's annoyance.

Together the family gathered outside the Tonks resident apparition pad and in 3, 2, 1 they were of towards the Burrow.

Puff…

Harry, Andy and Teddy landed outside the border of the Borrow in different stages of uprightness and as soon as Teddy got his baring he was of towards the other children who were playing in the enormous garden tent.

Andy waited for Harry to get over his travel sickness for he hated all types of magical transportation. When Harry finally could think again he gave Andy a smile and asked for some help up from the ground which had the old witch laughing.

As soon as Harry entered the Burrow garden he was flooded by the Weasley family who all wanted to give him a happy greeting on this wonderful November day. Molly pretty soon lay claim on her future son-in-law and shooed away the rest as they needed to do the last touches before the guest arrived.

"Harry my dear I was beginning to think you wouldn't come."

"Don't worry Molly. Andy kept a close eye on me the whole morning."

"That's good love, I hate to say it but you don't have the talent to dress yourself for big exactions."

Suddenly they heard a great number of puffs and pops that signalled the arriving of the guests. Harry had the chance for a quick look before Molly ushered him inside the house so he could collect his future bride. The first arrivals was the golden trios closes friends with family; Neville Longbottom with wife, Dean Thomas with children, Jonathan Sweety, Minerva McGonagall, Kingsley Schackbolt with some acquainted auroras, Penelope Clearwater, James Forrester, Kim Moll with his seven brothers, Horrace Smigure and Jossan Jomers with cousins. All of the arrivals played their vital role during the war and was dear friend of Harry, Ginny, Ron and Hermione.

While Harry were being showed into the house Ginny was finally ready to go downstairs and meet everybody. As Sheila helped her out of the bedroom Luna went ahead down and before going out to the garden stop before Harry and gave him a kiss on the cheek and gave him a warning.

"Many happy smullgers on this day for you Harry."

"Thank you Luna, I hope you have a good day to."

"Mmhm. I don't see why I wouldn't, but I will keep my eyes open. But keep those drewvenger in check Harry wouldn't want you to be lost in the mist… know would we."

"Um… I will try not to. Thanks Luna."

Harry looked after the strange girl who even after a decade he still couldn't understand. But soon all thoughts of Luna disappeared for when Harry turned around he saw on the top of the stairs the most beautiful women ever behold. Ginny radiated happiness for she could see the dumfounded look on her fiancé face after he spotted her. Slowly she walked down the stairs and towards her man.

"Harry, you look very handsome today."

"Um.. Yes.. Granny… Dress… Mmmm."

"Should I from that mumbling understand Andy dressed you and you think I look beautiful?"

Harry still just gaped at Ginny, choosing to just nod his head. When Ginny laughed at him he slowly could feel himself going red in the face he slowly cleared his throat and leaned down and bestowed his angel with a kiss.

"You look absolutely radiant my love, no women could ever compete with your beauty."

"Wow, what a silver tongue you had today Harry, I'm almost blushing." Ginny teased him and batted her eyelashes at him. Harry couldn't contain himself and started laughing and went down on his knees with a mischievous look on his face.

"But my golden treasure, I am your knight coming before you to confess eternal love and devotion."

"And in case of future poverty to pawn shop your dress."

"HARRY, don't even think it I love this dress and any knight who think he can sell it is getting my boot up his arse."

"Ouch, that sounded painful. Well to quell my damsel in distress fears of any future selling of said golden dress fear not, for I will sell my own first."

Ginny just looked down on Harry and couldn't stop the giggling that came forward at the ridiculous statement, but played along.

"Well, my fine knight, if you promise this you may take me from this place and into the garden to show me of."

"As you wish my princess." Harry raised his right hand up towards Ginny and waited for her to place her hand in his so he could escort her outside. Ginny rolled her eyes at Harry's mischiefs and put her hand above his and helped him up.

"I think it will be easier if you walk me outside and not crawled."

….

While the happy couple moved towards the door one forgotten guest stared after the pair with jealously eyes.

On top of the stairs Sheila, covered in the house many shadows, looked on as her friend left her behind in a dress that should have been her´s and in the arms of the man that should be in love with her, not Ginny.

Sheila had loved Harry Potter since early childhood after her mother told her about the evil dark lord and the little baby who saved the world. She had dreamed about the first time she would meet her hero, how they would fall in love and get married. Sheila was curtain no one had experienced as much happiness as she had when her Hogwarts letter arrived, for with it came the possibility to finally meet her soul-mate.

But what she hadn't planned was the trouble she would have to actually talk to the-boy-who-lived when she finally arrived at Hogwarts. He had been closed off from the other students all through her Hogwarts-years thanks to that stupid golden trio and the only time Harry had paid her any attention at all was when she stood next to Ginny.

For a girl deeply in love without a chance to gain her beloveds attention the agony and anger that had grown had left her bitter and cold young Lady. Many old friends of Sheila had started abandoned her and the woman's own family thought her strange and to interested in her friends future husband for it to be healthy.

It had almost broken her heart when Harry had announced the engagement to the newspapers, but her pain had grown into a cold-hearted hatred and a thirst for revenge when Ginny had visited her personally to give an invitation to the pre-party.

Sheila had almost attacked her own friend because of the smile on the woman's face while Sheila herself felt like she was dying inside.

To stop the injustice of the world and show Harry who his true lover really is Sheila had searched through her family vault for inspiration. She could vaguely remember a family secret told by her grandmother that had given her a wicked idea. If it could be used then that would give her what she wanted without she herself had to do anything, she would be blameless.

Her revenge as well as hope was place outside at the gift-table wrap to draw attention, just hoping that it would lure her prey into the trap.

…

While Sheila hides her dark thoughts away the happy couple had already reached the party-tent and the party was officially in full motion. The couple was guide around by Molly and Andy to meet and greet the different guests that had arrived and forced them to mingle with everyone.

Ron and Hermione was smart enough to avoid the main craziness that was the party, hidden behind the main table conversing with Neville and Luna, secretly laughing at the trouble Harry had landed in again and not planning on rescue him anytime soon.

Harry meanwhile was starting to wish he hadn't agreed to invite so many people as his right arm was starting to lose feeling and he was sweating because of the heavy, non-breathing, golden suit. Harry hated the mingle-part that came with every function he attended but for Andy sake and his own health he bore it.

Ginny on the other hand couldn't be more in her element and was thriving in the attention she was getting. For every congratulation and complement she got her smile just grew and with determined steps she followed her mother around happily welcoming the late-arriving guests.

Harry just bared it and plastered on a smile while he looked after his two friends hoping for rescue but when he made eye contact with Hermione she had just winked and smirk, so he wasn't holding his breath on the rescue happening anytime soon.

Before he could find an escape route and disappear another tall male guest had cornered him and much to Harry's annoyance he found himself having to look up again to do the standard greeting Andy had forced him to learn.

But before he could voice a quick greeting and move on he was blinded first by a camera-flash and then by the photographers bright golden neon-coloured hat that belong to one of the weirdest people Harry ever meet, Hedrick Lovegood.

"Harry, how are you young man?"

"Mr. Lovegood. I'm fine thank you, glad you could come."

"Luna said there would be smuggleborns and hobbtworters around and I was hoping to capture some."

"Aaa, I will keep my eyes open after anything smuttherlooking."

"Smuggleborns Harry."

"Right, that's what I meant."

Mr. Lovegood just smiled his mystical smile and disappeared into the crowed seemingly in hot pursuit after something invisible leaving a dumfounded Harry and party in his wake.

Ginny just looked at her fiancé and gave him an understanding soft smile and shook her head. Everyone was starting to think that it was better to just let the Lovegoods be the Lovegoods if they wanted to keep their minds intact.

In trying to bring Harry back to focus Molly took over the stagnant conversation.

"Harry, snap out of it and come here. This is Mr. Screw a good friend to the family, but he hasn't been in the country for many years."

Molly Weasley said and taking hold of Harry's elbow steering him towards a toad-looking man who locked ancient. After exchanging some more words Harry felt the need to extracted himself from the mingling giving Ginny and Molly the explanation that he needed to talk to Teddy, before the ladies could protest Harry took his escape.

….

After walking around in the crowed looking for the children and avoiding any of the guests looking for a quick chat with the hero Harry soon heard laughter coming from the left, just outside the tent, that sounded like Teddy.

After breaking free of the crowded tent Harry saw Bill and Fleur was playing hide-and-seek with the children. A soft smile touched his lips and Harry hurried over to join the kids which ended up in an all-out Harry chase when he stole Fleur's wedding-ring.

After being captured be Bill, tortured by Fleur and laughed at by the children Harry took teddy to the side for a quick conversation.

"Everything's alright or is there to many people?"

"Don't worry dad, Bill makes sure that we are outside the tent and Molly just invited kids that I know already."

"Good, I don't want you to stress out like you did last time; I took us a week to calm you down."

"I know dad, chill. Fleur knows better than you were my boundaries goes. Please stop worrying."

Teddy understood his godfathers concern for the little bit of wolf in him inherited from his father's curse did not like too many strangers around. Last time it had become too much when half of the English paparazzi had shown up at a party and he had totally wolfed out when some of the camera flashes had blinded him.

He had scarred half of the kids at the birthday-party and the event had made the front page of most English newspapers. Surprisingly too both his godfather and grandmother the wizard world had reacted badly to the paparazzi behaviour and not his which Harry had most feared. So now thanks to him no paparazzi were allowed within a 20 meter distant from any werewolf.

He had gotten many letters that thanked him after he had calmed down, but his Harry wasn't taking any chances of that happening again. Sometimes his father's over-protectiveness was highly annoying.

"Besides, I think Ginny wants you back in the tent; I believe it's time for the speeches and toasts."

As an answer Teddy got a resign groan from Harry and a look that pleaded for mercy. Teddy just laughed and kissed his father on the cheek and ran back to the kids for more playtime.

Before Harry joined Ginny who stood at the end of the tent waiting for him, he waited until Teddy looked back so that he could wave at him. Teddy waved back and gave him a big wolf-grin that made our hero laugh.

"Your bond is growing more strongly by the day."

Was the first thing Harry heard when he joined Ginny.

"We are the last of the maradoures, we are prongslet and moonster… We were born to be close."

Was Harry's answer and to most that short explanation would have confused them but to Ginny they was starting to make sense.

She would never understand the bonds that had existed between the old maradoures, but she could understand the importance for Harry and Teddy to keep the bonds strong and alive now.

Ginny just hoped that when she and Harry were married she could build an equally strong bond to them both. But sometimes when she was together with the two boys she felt like they were in a world of their own without a place for anyone else.

Shaking of the worries for the future she leant forward and gave her man a soft kiss and a smile before leading him into the tent towards the main table. She knew that Harry had wanted Teddy to sit with them while they ate and gave toasts. But for all the children's safety it had been decided that they would stay outside the tent until after the gift-opening. For that was when most of the guest would start to drift away for the tent or head home.

Harry let Ginny lead him to the main table and greeted along the way the people he had missed or wanted to say hello to again. When they reached the head-table Harry gave first Luna and then Hermione a kiss on the cheek and inquired Mione of the baby's health.

While Mione started talking baby facts he and Ron exchanged knowing smiles before Harry took f his robe and then took out his wand that had been placed in a wand holster attached to his right arm. He then let Ginny take over the on-going one-way conversation Mione was having and place a sonorous charm on his troth.

"LADY AND GENTLEMANS… AND EVERYONE ELSE." Harry started roughly. Everyone inside the tent quieted down and directed their attention to the main table at the same time they started looking for their table placement.

"I AND MY LOVLEY FIANCE WOULD LIKE TO ONCE AGAIN WELCOME YOU ALL TO THIS HAPPY OCCATION." At this he and Ginny raised their hand in a thank-you gesture.

"WE WILL SOON START SERVING THE FOOD MADE BY MOLLEY WEASLEYS LOVING HANDS. BUT FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A TOAST… IF EVERYONE THAT IS HAVE A GLASS AND HAVE FOUND THEIR PLACE?"

Here the few once that stood without a glass and the guest still looking for their seats laughed and with the help of the rest of the party soon found refreshments and their tables.

The organized chaos also looked very entertaining for the children that had sneaked to the tents entrance and was looking at the milling grown-ups. But soon Fleur found them and shooed them back towards their picnic place where Bill was taking out the huge three plain chocolate cake, being closely watched by Teddy of course.

While Fleur started cutting up the cake Harry was starting to feel a bit claustrophobic for right know it was his time to start the first toast and ALL eyes was on him. Ginny who was place at his side just gave him a kiss and a hand-squeeze.

The sonorous still in place Harry once again rise and greeted the guest before he presented the first toast.

"THE FIST TOAST I FEEL SHOULD BE IN THE NAME OF ALL THE LOVED ONCE NOT HERE TODAY THAT SHOULD BE, TO THE ONCE THAT ARE HERE AND TOO THE PEACE AND HOPE WE HAVE WORKED SO HARD TO SECURE."

After Harry stopped talking most of the guest had tears in their eyes and as one the entire tent rose from their seat and made the toast before sitting down again.

After Harry's toast it was time for Ron, followed by Ginny, followed by Molly, Andy, Neville and so on until half the tent was no longer anywhere close to sober and Harry declaring that anymore toast to be have had better be made in water.

By this point the guests was al relaxing, talking and for the longest they could remember having no worries. It was truly a wonderful party.

….

After many hour of drinking, dancing and eating all kinds of wonderful foods made by Molly the party was finally winding down and everyone started to move themselves towards the gift-table.

The many gifts that littered the table was gifted in all sorts of colours like red, silver, neon-pink, yellow, green, sky-blue and sizes, from snitch-sizes boxes too is that Hagrid wrapped in pink polka-dotted paper?

Harry had hungered after the gift table since he and Ginny started planning the party for he had hardly been given any presents in his life. Ginny had at first laughed at Harry's eagerness, but later when she had understood why Harry was looking forward to the present-opening she had only felt sadness for the pain her lover had gone thru in his short life.

But even though Harry wanted to be there to open all the presents´ Ginny knew from experience that there would be too many and after giving Harry a better picture of how many present there would be to open he asked that he at least could pick out some of them they could open together.

That was why Ginny and Harry had in beforehand decided whose presents´ they would open and had asked Molly to secure them on a smaller table behind the main one.

"ALRIGHT EVERYONE IT'S TIME FOR THE GIFT OPENING."

Shouted Molly for the once that was still lingering around their dinner-tables. The matriarch herself was place at the front of all the gifts and started to wave Harry and Ginny over to join her.

Harry practically run towards Molly but when he notice that Ginny was moving in a much slower pace next to Mione and Ron he stopped, turned around, marched back and lifted his golden flower in bridal style.

Ginny surprised at the sudden change of walking method just looked in disbelief at her fiancé as he marched her towards her mother while Ron was lying on the floor laughing himself sick. Mione just rolled her eyes at her husband and friends behaviour and hoped that her child would inherit her manners.

The rest of the guests was looking just as disbelieving at Harry as Ginny but soon Ron's laughing got them going and it was to the faces of a lot of laughing faces that Harry presented himself to Molly with his future bride in his arms.

"Harry. Put down my daughter this instant. I said we were doing gift-opening not Ginny-up endings…."

"Sorry Molly. But she was moving so slow that I thought she had hurt herself. I was just trying to help."

Molly didn't believe the boy who was looking at her with big innocent green eyes for one minute and just kept on staring. Harry soon under Molly stern eyes shamefully put Ginny down in front of himself and thus hiding his red face in her hair.

Ginny just looked at her mother and patted Harry's arms that were placed around her waist.

"Mother stop staring at him. He was just eager to start open a few gifts and if you keep staring at him we will open yours last…"

The treat hung between mother and child until Molly surrendered and moved to Harry's side and gave him a quick hug and kiss on the cheek. Harry just smiled back at his other mother figure and started looking for which resent to open first.

"Harry dear before you start opening any present it is costume to thank the guests beforehand."

Harry who had started to lift up a book sized present wrapped in purple paper let it go as if he was burned and once again red faced looked at the crowed surrounding them and gave an apologizing smile.

"Oh. I didn't know that sorry everybody."

"Uhm… Which one is supposed to do the thanking?"

Ginny and Molly just smiled at Harry while the rest of the party started laughing once again at the confused look on the young man's face. Harry knew they weren't laughing at him but it was still embarrassing not knowing the entire little wizard tricks everyone else seemed to even if you were twenty-one.

"I'm the one too thank everyone this time sweetie, next time at the actually wedding it is your turn."

Ginny softly said to Harry and lead him to the centre, in front of the table, and made them both face the hopeful faces that stared back at them. Everyone hoped that their present would be the first one to be opened, for the honour to be the first gifter to the future Potter-wedding was on everybody's mind.

"I wish to thank you everyone for all the blessings, presents and happy wishes you have bestowed over us. Both me and Harry are deeply moved by all your support and hope that we will see all of you again at the actually wedding."

Ginny's thank you speech made many guests emotional and happy for you could see in the young ladies eyes that she meant every word spoken.

Harry could not be more proud of his fiancé, that speech was a clear reflection of what a great women Ginny was turning out to be. But still for some reason looking over the guests Harry felt a tendril of worry, but since he could not pin point the feeling he moved on and helped Ginny pick out their first gift.

It was unfortunately not the same present Harry first touch but instead a big round basketball formed gift-wrapped in snitch colored paper. After helping Ginny rip the paper of the present both he and Ginny stared in disbelief. It was a crystal ball with purple and black colors swirling around within it.

"What the fuck is this?"

Ginny exclaimed and looked around at their closest family members. Her eyes soon focused on Ron whose face was turning deep red.

"Ron, what is this."

She asked and holds the ball up for all to see, while she stared accusingly at her brother. He knew how much she and Harry hated anything that dealt with prophesies and Trelawney.

"Well… it's something I found among the twins old stuff."

Suddenly everyone who ever meet the Weasley twins force and stared in horror at the innocent looking glob. Ron's face that at first been red now turned wicked and Mione, Harry and Ginny all looked in disbelief as their brother/husband /friend´s mouth formed a specific set of words.

"Ron, buddy…. Don't…" Harry said pleadingly, trying to stop him.

"SURPRISE HARRY…" Ron shouts, a grin on his face and an evil glint in his eyes.

After Ron shouted that sentence the ball flew out of Ginny's hands and up towards the tents roof. It started vibrating and every guest in the room threw themselves towards the ground. Harry was faster on the uptake then Ginny and threw himself over her and pushed her down and under the table hoping to protect her from the twin's last prank.

But the ball seemed at first only vibrate and soon some of the guest started to carefully get up. Harry refused to let Ginny move until he was sure it was over and realized at the same time Ginny started to demand to be let out that the one guest had finally gotten off the floor totally.

He didn't know why, but he just knew that getting up was a bad idée and shouted for the idiot to get down again. But it was too late.

The ball seemed to have waited for such foolery and started to spew purple lights that turned everyone it hit into a dancing, feather-boa wearing disco lover.

Ron was together with Mione, Luna and Neville watching the prank from under the closest table and taking pictures in a rabid speed.

Molly Weasley who at first been frozen by Ron's word and the at first innocent behaviour of the ball now woke up from her daze and she was furious.

"RONALD BILLIUS WEASLEY. IF YOU WISH TO LIVE UNTIL YOUR CHILDS BIRTHING YOU STOP THIS FULLY AT ONCE…"

Ron terrified by his mother pissed of face hurried to get out his wand pointed it at the ball and shouted.

"Mischief managed…"

The ball suddenly stopped spewing out more light and every guest hit by the purple beams stopped dancing. Unfortunately the beautiful accessories stayed on, but that was soon sorted out as they were wizard and witches.

Molly stormed over too where her son was hiding and dragged him out by his ear and started shouting at him while Harry first made sure the ball was sleeping or something with the help of few spells. After he had made sure it was 'dead' Harry bent down and helped Ginny out from under the table.

Suddenly much to the grownups there was laughter coming from the opening of the tent and as everyone turned to the opening they were met with the faces of kids. Harry just groaned knowing that Teddy would never let him live this down.

Fleur and Bill stood behind the kids with badly contained faces and holding their own cameras. When they realized that the grown-ups had seen them the kids just waved and then ran away before the adults could bribe them, because they were so telling everyone about this.

"Well, that was a new way to start a party."

The one that spoke was Minerva who was swiftly removing her boa and seemed to be looking for a chair to rest her tired legs in.

"I must agree with you there Minerva. That will teach me for underestimate the Weasley wickedness."

Kingsley answered her. The whole party just gave resign sounds knowing that this prank was going be told by every child in England and no bribing would work, not even Disneyland.

While everyone had pulled themselves together Mione had finally saved her man from the fire breathing dragon and was known trying to put everything to order from the temporary chaos.

"Okay everyone. Knows that's done and over with let's open the next gift."

"Mione's right. My brother was just trying to honour Gred's wishes no matter how stupid it was."

Ginny said while hitting her brother on the arm and giving him an evil looked that promised future revenge. The guest decided that the prank hadn't been that bad and some had even laughed as they had started to bogey down. Within couple of minutes everyone had gotten their spirit back and the present opening continued.

….

After opening a lot of gift of wearied sizes, prizes and stages of deadness, some weird thing from Hagrid (better not ask for your own survival) they finally come to the present that had an enormous red and golden bow on it and wrapped in red paper with golden snitches flying about.

Since the gifts where so many Harry and Ginny wasn't even near for the opening of most presents, just the one from the closest family members but Harry had been interested in that gift since he saw it and when it was opened by Percy of all people Harry made a point to focus on the proceedings.

What soon become apparent was that the gift was a mirror surrounded by a plane but thick silver frame which instantly killed most of Harry's curiosity, but the most embarrassing thing came when the mirror started singing the "I need a Hero" song which drew the whole party to look at the present and then at Harry and Ginny.

Beat red the couple endured the song and when it was done and the crowed stopped snickering Molly Weasley asked from whom the gift came.

"It's from me for Harry and Ginny… It's a family heirloom that is said to tell the people that looks into it their true desires and their destined soul mates." A timed voice was heard. Most people directed their eyes to a young woman in Ginny's age that was standing next to the mirror.

"The mirror was created from the tail of the legendary mirror of erised. " after the girl uttered those words most of the guest showed curious faces, but Harry froze when he heard the origin for the mirror and decided then and there that he wanted nothing to do with it.

He turned to Ginny, Ron and Hermione looking for support but all three of them looked like Christmas had come early and that scared him even more. Harry just knew that something bad was going to come of this.

Most likely scenario that emerged in his head was of Ron kissing the mirror when he sees the cuddly-cannons winning the quidditch world cup and getting cursed with snake hair or something.

"Ah, well it's a lovely gift… but it a family heirloom we couldn't possibly accept it." Harry said with exerted voice trying to stop the interest for the gift before people (Ginny) became obsesses with it.

"Don't talk nonsense Harry, it's a wonderful gift and it would be highly offensive to deny it" Hermione answered when it sunk in what Harry had said. All she could see was the beautiful mirror going away from her before she could experiment with it. It would be criminal of Harry to deny the gift.

"Yeah mate, the first bloody thing that looks interesting and you want to give it back… come on mate, can at least try it out first." Ron backed up, hoping to find out something dirty on his brothers or even better see if he was right that Hermione, the biggest bookworm in Europe much to his horror, was his one and only soul mate.

Harry just shake his head and tried to make the party to move onwards to other gifts or activities. Unfortunately for him no one was budging from the mirror business. Everyone wanted to try it. But the gift was for the couple so they had to try first.

"Come on Harry it's not going to hurt us. It's completely harmless." Ginny weeded to her fiancé, for she was dying to try out her friend's gift.

"Why are you being so stubborn? " She asked when she could see Harry wasn't giving in as she had hoped.

"Because honey, it's something that could be less than what you hope" Harry answered. He was trying not to hurt his lover's friend but the gift was really not a good gift and could lead to a catastrophe if it showed someone else… well, if it actually worked that is. "Perhaps our true soul mates are cows, how would that make us feel".

The rest of the party who already was dying to try the mirror laughed at Harry's words and sheered on even more for the engaged couple look into the soul mate mirror. Cows indeed.

Ginny encouraged by the crowed smirked at her fiancé and started tugging him towards the gift and with the help of her brothers Ron and Percy managed to get Harry to cave in.

"Come on love. I promise if you see a lovely cow I'm not going to be jealous."

"I might even let you find your perfect match and let it stay with us if that's the case" Ginny finished while laughing so hard her sides were starting to hurt. Her brother soon following when they imagined that scenario in front of their eyes.

Percy could just see it, Harry happily in love coming home with a big and black spotted cow with a golden bell around its neck and Ginny in front of the Burrow in a pink apron cooing at the lovely pair and offering fresh grass and tea for the happy couple.

"The same offer if it is a male?" someone in the crowed screamed which made Harry's face turn crimson red and the rest of the party to unsolved in gleeful laugher.

Ginny was by now almost in front of the mirror and laughing so much that she had tear track on her face with one embarrassed Harry standing beside her.

"If…If it is a boy cow… I promise…cough… to…ha, ha, ha…to… let it stay with us…gasp… Just for Harry's sake." Ginny finally managed to answer. The laughter making it hard for her to talk.

Harry crumbled and sighed but decided it was better to get this over with so that he could go and mope in the bathroom or extort a couple of kisses from the future wife for his misery.

"While thank you Ginny for your open mind, but can we do this so Molly can start making the tea for the cake?" Harry said at the same time he looked at the girl who gave them the gift and smiled.

Harry hoped she hadn't taken offense by their jokes and tried to muster some interest for the magic in the gift. The girl in question just looked like she would faint when her hero gifted her with a simple smile and tried to flirt back. But to Harry it looked more like the girl had some uncontrollable seizures, for her face was crumbling into strange grimaces.

Harry positioned himself and Ginny before the mirror with all of their family flocking around them and shearing them on or coming up with new lewd remarks which got the party people back to hysteric laughter.

"Soooo… what do we do? Say mirror, mirror?" At the blank face on most of the guest Harry understood that snow white was one story best left out of it and sheared a knowing look with Hermione.

If they get in on that story the chances were they would get stuck on the witch part (as they always did) and had to explain again and again why the witch needed to say a spell to look at the mirror when you couldn't shut them up in the real world.

Ron and Ginny seeing the exchange between their partners just shrugged and decided to ask later, all four looking expectantly on the gifter.

Little did they know how much they would come to regret their eagerness…

…...

Chapter 2: the journey begins

To make it clear the Harry Potter and Riddick character/world is not mine, they belong to J.K Rowling and whoever owns Riddick. This is a fanfic, which means I'm not the original creator only the writer of this particular story.

…...

"Uhm. No a simple question is all that are needed according to my ancestors' notes." Was the awkward reply. "So the mirror understands the exactly what it is you want to know."

That made Harry even more cautious, didn´t the girl even now what the thing did? But before Harry had time stop the whole event Ginny had already taken things into her own hand.

"Ah, well then mirror what I want to know is… Who are to become my future mate?"

The same moment the word were spoken the frame surrounding the mirror started to glow faintly and the words Ginny had spoken appeared across the glass reflecting the words back towards the speaker. Standing paralyzed before it were Harry and Ginny, caught helplessly in its magic for what the notes hadn´t told the conspiring hag was that the mirror didn´t single anyone out when ask a question.

It showed what you asked to anyone unfortunately enough to stand in front of it.

And unlike the simple construction of mirror of desire this ancient artifact, passed down from the ancient witch herself Morgana la fey, had a mind f its own and sometimes didn´t just show you your desires but brought you to them… or even worse bounded you to them, for the Lady la Fey had very early in her life tired of humans stupidity and wanted any asker of vanity or greed to pay the price for their idiocy.

Know you can imagine the vanity existing in a girl who is about to marry her lifelong obsession and not to mention her greed for not only was the Potter boy by no means penniless she had no plans of chairing his heart with another.

Don´t get the poor girl wrong, anyone are allowed to become possessive of her man but for a strong and independent women like Morgana le Fey the mirror saw a brat.

So it would show them their mates. Because it always gave an answer even if the asker was not satisfied with it.

…...

Ginny wrapped up in the mirrors magic saw nothing at first except smoke and darkness. But slowly in front of her a play started to form. It was a lifeless play that had no purpose to the young women, for it was filled with little black figures that seemed to be dancing.

But the longer she looked the clearer the figurines faces become until she realized that one of them was her and three of the others were children… her children for they had her nose and hair.

A happiness she had never felt before exploded in her chest and she looked to the fifth figure expecting to see the beloved face of her champion.

As she looked she could her the beatings of her heart echoing in the room.

Dum. Dum dum. Dum dum, dum dum.

What?

Dum. Dum. Dum.

That not possible.

Dum. Dum….

"No… NOOOOOO!"

Before her with a joyous face watching his family was not her champion. Not her Harry. But Dean… Dean T… Dean Thomas was standing there without a care in the world laughing together with her. HAPPY!

The rage that filled her heart made her lose all control and without thinking Ginny threw herself on top the play and started tearing it apart while screaming out her denial. But to the mirror she could scream al she wanted for it had only shown her what she wanted. If there was a problem, it was of no concern to it.

…...

Harry was not subjected to the same dark play as Ginny was imagining, instead a grey mist had surrounded him upon the mirrors activation. A thick, grey mist that showed him nothing.

Nothing at all.

It was strange, for he knew that something was supposed to happen. But only, it didn´t.

Harry just looked around. Grey mist everywhere. Even below him. It was as if he was floating, only he wasn´t moving.

He thought to shout, see if anything answered, but couldn´t bother with opening his mouth.

Suddenly, after what had felt like an eternity two silver spots appeared in the mist and were moving towards him. But Harry wasn´t scared, the spots seemed nice and warm. Without thinking Harry open his arm to embrace the lights.

But they weren´t lights.

For Harry saw when the lights came upon him, was eyes. Attached to the eyes was two dark arms that appeared in the mist. Arms that wrapped him in a snug hug and suddenly a dark rumble was heard in the void. Harry knew he should ask questions or search or a way out. He felt like someone was waiting for him.

But the arms felt so warm, the eyes so loving and the rumbling so soothing that he couldn't bring himself to break free.

And so without knowing it Harry surrounded himself to the mirrors magic and fell into a deep sleep.

To never awake again.

…...

Outside the world of the mirror, chaos erupted mere second after Ginny had spoken her world and every guest had tried to break the two lovers free from their trance for several hours.

Until suddenly a bright flash of white light spewed out from within the mirror blinding everyone.

When the light disappeared Ginny was lying crumbled and wounded on the floor but alive much to her family's relief.

But for Andromeda and little Teddy the ending was not as happy, for on the spot where their beloved family member had been mere seconds before was only a dark spot.

And so despite every attempt to free our find answers the wizard world greatest hero was gone, to never be seen again.

Long into the future Theodore Tonks-Potter-Black spent his last living years to make sure the survival of the mirror come hell or sunshine so that, when the day would come, Harry Potter could be freed from his prison and get chance at life.
