Mystical Rose

It's the year 2006 and, nine years after the final battle, things have changed. Now a successful business woman, Hermione, fights for creature rights and is happily married - but not to Ron. Ron, meanwhile, is married himself and is on first-name terms with the Minister of Magic himself, but both have secrets they want to hide. Ginny is married to a dark-haired, green-eyed wizard - but it's not Harry. She hasn't spoken to Ron and Hermione in years, and a child will soon enter into her loveless marriage. And then a long-lost stranger turns up on Lupin's doorstep and changes it all. Where has Harry been? Why does everyone think he's dead? And, most important of all, how will things change now he's back for good?

Having broken up with Ginny just a few short weeks ago, Harry finds himself confronted with Ginny's unhappiness and his own guilt. Feeling utterly confused, Harry must decide what to do: to break up with Ginny for her own safety, or to seek the most happiness he has ever known. Luckily, an old friend comes back to help him make his decision, revealing two worlds: one where Harry and Ginny got back together and the other where Harry decided it would be safer not to. On a journey years into the future, Harry discovers just what an impact their relationship has on everyone else, enabling him to finally make his decision.
