Drabbles - A Harmony Story

Plot 06

Harry and Hermione's only daughter Veronica Lily Potter, age seventeen. Veronica is an orphaned since she was eighteen months old. Her birthday is Twenty July One Thousand Nine Hundred Ninety-eight.

Her parents were killed by the 'Light' in their own home in front of Veronica. It was Twenty-seven January Two Thousand. She has been whisked away from her once safe heaven, invented by her brilliant mother, just in case the enemies break in to kill.

They had never thought that their allies are actually enemies in disguise!

Veronica stares at the bulky scrapbook— at the moving picture of the family laughing and waving— her young parents both hold her tiny hands to wave. Harry and Hermione were very blissful and contented after Second War over. They kissed each other before kissing Veronica's temple. It repeats. Until her vision gets blurry even though she wears the glasses.

She holds the resurrection stone in her unoccupied hand.

Behind her, the 'Light' was dead and killed by Veronica, her fractured wand lays on the grass next to the severed head of Ginny Weasley.

She turned the stone in her hand thrice in the hope to see her parents again. Maybe, a high hope for her parents to come back alive. The resurrection stone is supposed to bring them back!

A sharp breath intakes when she saw the see-through figures materialized in the forest. She absentmindedly noted that it is not two, but six. But, she only focused on her parents stood to smile sadly at her.

"Mum! Dad!" She ran to try to hug her parents only to glide through them. She paused and blinked at her hands confused before turning to look at her parents. With the tears in her greenish-brown eyes, her hand reaches her parents only went through her ghostly parents.

"Mum, dad...Why can't I touch you? You're supposed to be alive."

"Oh Vonnie," Hermione breathed tearfully. "We're already dead, sweetheart. Do you understand? We're dead. That resurrection stone only brings our souls back but not our bodies. This world is already moving on without us. Veronica, you cannot anchor us to this plane."

Veronica dropped her knees on the grass, tears streaming down her flushed cheeks, staring at her parents. Harry walks up to his only daughter and knelt.

"Pumpkin, I know you are struggling without us. But, we had much hope...you get move on—"

"I never get moving on, dad, I refused!" She shrieked. "They took you away from me! Violence at that too! I saw you...I saw how you died! I remember everything that happened to you and mum! I won't move on! Not even after my death!"

The parents were shocked at these revelations.

"Veronica," the soft gentle voice capture the teenager's attention. She saw the redhead woman with green eyes stood beside the bespectacled man with brown eyes.
