Story: The Titans of Secrets
Epilogue

Seven years hence the Battle at the Department of Mysteries. . .

It was a bright sunny day: the third of September. Gilligan had invited all of his friends to his house as he had recently gone engaged to his workmate Helena Wilde. The excitement was high for the young Potter's brother.

"Harry! Stop messing your hair!" Ginny exclaimed. "And who's gonna tie your shoelace? Your mum? Tie it right now!"

"I'm sorry," Harry apologized with a grimace before bending down to tie his laces. Something or rather someone bumped into him which caused him to fall forwards and onto the wooden floor. He felt a weight on his back and chuckled lightly. "Getting clumsy are we, Dragonfly?"

"Get that damned troll leg stand off of there! Who the hell even uses a troll leg for a unibella stand?!" she exclaimed, getting off him.

"Umb -" but Harry could not complete his sentence for he burst out laughing at her pout. He touched her cheek with a finger before whispering, "It's Umbrella, Gin."

Ginny forcefully turned away from his twinkling eyes and crossed her arms tightly. "Whatever, just throw it out," she said before walking out. She heard her fiance chuckle before following her out to the hallway. They reached the door and stepped on the first stair. Ginny held onto him and he smiled at her before Apparating them to Gilligan's flat. When the uneasy sensation abated she chided him again. "Just remove the damned anti-Apparition charm. No Riddle is gonna show up at your doorstep and say 'hi Shade. I'm here to take vengeance!'"

"What if he asked, 'hey Dragonfly. You look gorgeous why not kill that books you are with?'" he argued back jokingly. Ginny rolled her eyes before snapping at his collar.

"Not the time for childish charm, Shady."

"Indeed lovebirds. Can you stop this? I wish it wasn't so damn hard to see my best friend and my sister showing open PDA!" Ginny tore her eyes from Harry to look at Ron sitting on the couch, a frown creasing his features and his arms folded in front of his chest. Beside him was an amused looking Hermione.

"Hey! That's not called PDA, dear bro-" Ginny exclaimed before she was forcibly interrupted by Harry's lips on hers. He backed away when they heard Ron shriek like a teenage girl.

"No!"

"You asked for it Ron. Face it," Hermione stated before waving them over. They walked to the couch and settled on the floor in front of the small fire burning in the fireplace.

"Where's my brother?" Harry asked.

"He's gone to his office, DoM. He got an emergency call from Nev. Ron knows more about it than I do. Y'know, you are the Head Auror here Harry. You must know what's happening with your aurors!" the bushy haired witch reprimanded. Harry raised his eyebrows at Ron.

"Don't ask me. The bloke was on a time travelling mission to collect a Devil's Snape sample when he tripped and fell. That mad device broke and he's stuck in time. Gilligan's in charge of those legendary turners so I suppose he's the one who's trying to locate Neville," Ron answered and popped a cookie into his mouth. He offered the bowl to Harry and he took two: one for himself and one for Ginny. She smiled at him before taking the cookie from him. He was still as same as Shade.

"It's a Devil's Snare, Ronald," Hermione corrected. Ron shrugged.

"Snape however is a devil," he replied and grinned at her. She rolled her eyes and Ginny nudged her ribs.

"Learn to take a joke, Hermione!" she said, grinning.

"Says the one who –" Hermione was interrupted by Gilligan and Helena Apparating in.

Helena was a beautiful brown haired girl with a dark skin tone. Her eyes were hazel and filled with anticipation as she and Gilligan approached them. Harry stood up and hugged Gilligan and Ginny followed him, hugging Helena as well.

"Welcome home, Harry, Ginny," Gilligan greeted with a small smile. Harry grinned.

"How have you been Gil, Helena?" he asked. The sound of something crashing was heard before either of them could answer and Ginny looked over to see Ron standing beside an overturned chair. Ron grinned sheepishly at them. Ginnya rolled her eyes and flicked her wand. If she was clumsy, he was clumsier.

"Anyways, we are good Harry but I'm afraid I need to have a word with you and Phoenix," he said and his emerald eyes flicked to Ginny. "Hermione, you as well. I'm sorry Ron, ministry business." Ron frowned and was about to protest but the others nodded and he led them to the bedroom. As soon as they were inside, he shut the door and Helena placed a silencing charm around the room. "Harry didn't you tell me that the Titan was on Shelf 99?!"

"Yeah. I guess. . .?" Harry replied, unsure. Gilligan started pacing.

"It was and we got a use for it. Shade and Dragonfly, they must be rechosen!" he said.

"Rechosen? How? Why?" Ginny asked.

"Riddle and Grindelwald are in 1998. You both must go back in time to my sixth year and allot your previous Unspeakable Accessories to your younger selves. You guys take Helena and my Accessories. We have applied for a leave already," he explained. Ginny's mind started processing everything at breakneck speed.

"Does that mean. . .?" Hermione started, turning to look at Ginny and Harry. Ginny looked back at her best friend with disbelief in her brown eyes. The two girls knew what happened in the past.

"Mean what?" Harry asked impatiently. Gilligan turned to face his brother.

"You were Silverflight and Blackburn. Your future selves travelled back to 1998 in the disguise of Silverflight and Blackburn and handed out their Unspeakable Accessories to you for you to become Dragonfly and Shade."

______________

Ginny's pained eyes met Harry's hard ones. They were alone in their bedroom. Four Unspeakable Accessories lay on the bed: a ring, a hairband, a bracelet and a pendant. All of them were out of their usual black box.

"Isn't it lovely? Our future selves travelled back in time to save us," Harry spoke slowly. Ginny nodded and looked down at his feet. "So everything was done on purpose. . . Including exposing us to the world by the Prophet. . .leaving us to fight Gel and Confusion. . . giving me the Unspeakable Accessory instead of Hermione. . . letting us in on information and spells to finally fight Gel and Confusion. . . Everything! But. . . we'll mess ourselves up if we meddle with time. . . Riddle looked older than he was supposed to be because of the Titan!" he exclaimed in disbelief. Ginny looked up and met his eyes with determined ones.

"We'll make it out of this Harry. Even if it takes over a hundred years, we must help our past selves or we won't come to see this day. . . the day you proposed me. . . our past selves would never see that. . . never feel that. . . We must do it, Harry," she encouraged him. He looked up at her with sad eyes so she moved closer to him and caressed his cheek. "You'll always be my Shade, my Harry, my handsome Potter no matter how messed up we look or become. I love you, Harry, no matter how you look."

Harry smiled a little and pecked her lips. "I, you. I know we'll make it through. Are you ready then, Dragonfly? Or should I say, Silverflight?" he asked. Ginny smiled fondly at him before nodding. He took her hand and threw the Titan around their necks. They grabbed the accessories. Ginny wore Helena's bracelet and looked at him as he wore Gilligan's pendant. Their eyes met with a fiery determination.

"I am ready."
