Harry was standing at the front of the church. He was looking up the isle between the pews. After a few seconds two people came through the doors.
Tim was escorting Hermione who was in a beautiful wedding dress with a long trail of fabric behind her. As the "Here Comes the Bride" music played Hermione smiled straight at Harry. Harry smiled back at her.
She reached the end of the isle, right in front of Harry. She stood hand-in-hand with him as the minister began.
"We are gathered here today..."
Harry was really trying hard to pay attention to what the minister was saying, but he just couldn't keep his mind off of Hermione.
"I love you Hermione," he mouthed to her.
"I love you too," she replied.
"Speak now or forever hold your peace," the minister continued.
"I object!" yelled someone standing next to Harry.
Harry turned to face him and saw it was a black-haired boy laughing at him. His face fluently turned into that of Lord Voldemort.
Someone was shaking Harry by the shoulders
"Harry!"
Harry opened his eyes.
He was in the hotel and Hermione was leaning over him, trying to get him up.
"Get up, we're leaving for breakfast soon," Hermione said with a huge smile on her face.
"Alright, but why are you so happy today?" he said sleepily.
"Nothing, but did anyone ever tell you that you talk in your sleep?" she said as she headed for the door.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
About 15 minutes later Harry went out of his room and into the living room where Tim and Ivy were.
"Morning Harry," Ivy said, "You should get ready because we're leaving in about 10 minutes."
"OK, where's Hermione?" Harry said, noticing she wasn't there.
"She's in her room getting ready, could you tell her to hurry up?" Tim asked.
"Sure."
Harry went back down the hall and opened the door to Hermione's room.
"Knock, knock," he said, although it was already open.
"Oh, it's just you Harry," Hermione said when she turned around from looking in the mirror.
"Don't sound so disappointed," he said as he came inside.
"I daresay that you had an interesting dream last night didn't you?" Hermione said, "I know it was just a dream, but my mom did once tell me that a dream is the heart's desire..."
Harry went over to stand next to Hermione. "Well, if that's true, isn't it interesting?"
Hermione giggled and looked at the two of them in the mirror in front of her.
Harry did the same and jumped.
In the mirror were the two of them, as you would expect. But even though they were just standing there in real life, in the mirror they were kissing. Harry just looked at it for a while. What on earth was going on?
"Hermione, is this a normal mirror?" he asked after a while, trying to sound casual.
"Not really, it's something my mom gave me as a birthday gift one year. When someone looks in it, it shows the best moment of the person's life."
"So it shows the future?" Hermione nodded, "So whatever I see will happen?"
"Yes, but don't let it go to your head," Hermione said seriously.
"Harry, Hermione!"
Ivy was calling them from the living room.
"Coming!" Hermione shouted.
Harry started for the door but Hermione grabbed his arm.
"Could we just try to have a good time today, no adventures that could endanger our lives for once OK? I don't think this would qualify as a perfect vacation if one of us died," she said with a grin on her face.
"Of course," Harry said, also grinning.
"Come on you two, I'm not going to say it again!" Ivy called.
The two of them headed out the door, Hermione conveniently forgetting to let go of Harry hand.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
While in the car, Harry had a lot to think about. He had known Hermione for almost 5 years now and he didn't think that things would get so serious between them. Actually, now that he thought about it, when they first met he hadn't thought there was going to be anything between them
He was about to tell her this when Ivy said, "This is going to be so much fun! Last time I came here I was your age."
"You've been here before?" Harry asked.
"Only once. I came with my friend Nikki. She did live in England around where we live, but they live somewhere near here now. I haven't seen her in years. Not since your parents wedding Harry. She was pregnant with twins then so they must be about your age now."
"Did she go to Hogwarts?" Harry said.
"Yes but her last 2 years she went to Salem in America. They have a really great charms class there and she wanted to try it out."
The rest of the trip they were rather quiet until...
"Here we are," Tim said as he pulled into a parking space.
Harry looked out the window again. He could now see the top of an extremely tall green roller coaster and a tall tower with black and yellow bands on in.
The foursome walked through the ticket booth and got a paper bracelet that said "Kennywood" on it and a stamp on their left hand.
As they walked through the gates, Harry looked at his first amusement park. The green roller coaster he had seen before was now only about 50 feet in front of him and he could see it was called the "Phantoms Revenge." There were a lot of people walking around, playing games in one of the booths, or waiting in line for a ride.
"OK you two," Ivy started as they stopped walking, "We are going to get a look around. You can get a start on riding some of the rides. We will meet you here at 4:00."
Hermione nodded and Tim and Ivy headed off to the left.
"Where should we go first?" Harry asked.
"To ride your first roller coaster," Hermione said smiling at him. "My mom has told me enough about this place so I kinda know my way around."
They walked down a path until they came to a lake that had people in paddleboats on it. A little to their left, there was a roller coaster called the Jack Rabbit.
"Are you sure this is safe?" Harry said looking at it, "There's only wood holding you up."
"Of course. Unless your afraid," Hermione said.
Harry was about to say he wasn't when someone beside them said, "If it's your first time on, you should be afraid."
Harry looked over and saw a girl that was almost a mirror image of Hermione, except she was about 3 inches taller. She had a sweet American accent that seemed abnormal to Harry and Hermione because he was so used to English accents.
She noticed that they were both staring at her and said, "I'm sorry, I just couldn't help but overhear you talking. This is a great ride, I've ridden it at least 200 times over the years."
Harry looked back and forth between Hermione and then girl. They just looked too much alike.
"Well are you going to get in line?" the girl asked them, "I know I am! Come on Alex!"
Harry just then noticed that there was a boy with black hair was next to the girl. Harry immediately noticed that he was the boy that had been laughing at him in his dream. There was just something about him he didn't trust. Hermione shrugged and they got in line after the two of them.
"My name is Aubrey and this is my friend Alex," the girl told them.
"I'm Harry, and this is Hermione."
"Harry...Harry...you look so familiar..." Aubrey was thinking hard," Of course! You're the famous Harry Potter!"
"You're a witch aren't you!" Harry exclaimed.
Aubrey looked pointedly at Alex and put a finger over her lips to make him be quiet.
Harry caught on and changed to subject. "So do you come here every year?"
"I live about 45 minutes from here, but sometimes I stay at the hotel, so I come here every year at least twice. Last year I got a season pass so that I could come every day."
"You stay at a hotel even though you live so close?" Harry asked.
"Well it's not like I pay or anything. Oh, and I know you're thinking this, but I don't break in either."
"Your name is Aubrey right?" Hermione asked and she nodded. "Then you own Aubrey's don't you? That's where we're staying. And," she gasped, "You must be Aubrey Yelantes!"
Aubrey sighed, "Guilty as charged."
