Harry's eyes snapped open as he heard the small pop. It was 3 A.M., he noted, as he grabbed his wand and climbed out of bed.
In the hallway, he saw a slightly glowing parchment laying on the floor. "Harry, dear, what is going on?" Ginny questioned him.
Harry turned around, parchment in his hands. "Look at this, Ginny!" he whispered excitedly, "it's from Dumbledore."
"Dear Harry,
Gather your friends and family that have lost someone at eight o'clock this morning. You will be given a second chance.
Albus Dumbledore," Ginny read. She looked skeptically up at her husband.
Harry sighed. "I know it sounds crazy, but it might be true, Ginny. We ought to owl everyone at once."
"Harry, are you certain this is...wise?" she asked him gently.
Harry ran a hand through his jet-black hair and said, "No, it's probably not, but it can't cause any harm, can it? I'll owl everyone at seven." With that, he went off to bed and Ginny followed, part exasperated, part nervous.
Harry stood in front of the entire Weasley-Potter Clan plus the Longbottoms, Teddy Lupin, Andromeda Tonks, and Rubeus and Olympe Hagrid. "I got a strange summons early this morning," he began.
"Indeed you did," the voice of Albus Dumbledore swept through the Potters' house. He came into view, carrying a large boxed set of books and a Time Turner. "I decided that you need
to be with your families, so I have arranged that the dead will come to live with you for an undecided amount of time, through a time turner. You will read a chapter of an exciting book in the morning and night. You will make up for lost memories during the day."
And through the door came the original Potters, Fred Weasley, Sirius, Lupin, Tonks, Pettigrew, the Longbottoms, and Hedwig.
"Don't be shy!" Dumbledore yelled, and out came all the Malfoys.
"We will all be called the Potter-Weasley-Lupin-Tonks-Malfoy-Longbottom-Scamander-Black- Pettigrew-Snape-Dumbledore clan plus an owl."
"I have told these people from the past who you are, and after we meet each other and talk for a little bit, we can start in with the first chapter," he said.
"I can't believe I have a son," Lily Evans Potter said, still in shock. "And grandchildren too. How old are we by now?" James put in.
Harry exchanged a look with Ginny. "Erm..." he started to say, but was thankfully saved by Dumbledore.
"All will be revealed in our story."
