6th year, during the welcoming feast, three unexpected guests show up. What happens?
"welcome, welcome to another year at Hogwarts! I have a few start of term notices I wish to announce. There is a new defence against the dark arts professor. Our own Severus Snape!" Dumbledore said, and the slytherins cheered with joy. Suddenly, the doors to the great all opened, and in walked two people. A lovely lady with red hair, thin, and beautiful green eyes, and a man with black untidy hair, and glasses.
"Well done Severus, I always knew you could do it!" the lady said, walking in with the man.
"Yes, well done snivelly." He said, and she smacked his arm.
"Stop it James." She said, and everyone gasped. Harry stood up. his eyes burned with tears, his mind telling him that this wasn't possible. This was a trick.
"Lily… it's him" he said, and she burst into tears, and pulled him into her arms, kissing his face.
"Oh my beautiful boy! my brave little man." She whispered, and he gasped.
"Mum?" he asked hoarsely, and she nodded, smiling a teary smile.
"It's me baby, it's me." She said, and he let the tears fall, as she held him to her chest.
"Come" James said, leading his family out of the great hall, back into the entrance hall, and sat them down.
"Oh harry" he said, and he hugged his father tightly.
"How… how is this possible?" he asked, and James smiled.
"I have no idea, but were here. We are never leaving you again harry. My son" he said, and began to cry with harry and lily. They sat there, through dinner and desert, holding each other, letting their emotions out. when dinner was over, Ron and Hermione appeared.
"Harry? are you alright?" Hermione asked quietly, and he nodded.
"This is my mum and dad. Mum, dad, this is Ron and Hermione. My best friends" he said, and they smiled at him. They hugged him tightly, and told him they were going up to the tower. He nodded, and they left again. Dumbledore came in after that, smiling at them.
"We should take you both to Madame Pomfrey, see what's going on." He said, and they nodded. They led the to the hospital wing and James smirked.
"I spent way to much time in here. Still smells like bleach and leeches" he said, and harry laughed.
"Mr. Potter, we do not use leeches!" she yelled, and he laughed.
"I know, I know." he said, and sat down on the bed.
"So harry, what's been going on?" lily asked, and harry grimaced, and began the very long discussion about his life. The dursleys, all his years at Hogwarts, Voldemort and the connection, Sirius passing away at the end of last school year.
"I… I'm so sorry harry…" lily said, and he held her hand.
"It's alright mum, you're here now." he said, and she nodded.
"This weekend, we'll go to potter manor, get everything straightened out there. Goodness knows it's going to need it." she said, and he nodded. Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape burst through the door, and McGonagall gasped.
"It's really you…" she said, and lily nodded, and went to hug her.
"I… I can't believe it." she said, and James smirked.
"Believe it millie, your star trouble maker is back" he said, and he went to hug her as well.
"Lily…" Severus said, and she hugged him, and kissed his cheek.
"Hello sev. Don't worry, I forgave you long ago. Thank you for taking care of him Severus…" she said, and he hugged her.
"Your welcome lily. You are very welcome." He said, and James rolled his eyes and sat down with harry again.
"So, ive done some tests, to see what's been going on. Amazingly, it wasn't avada kedrava that you know who casted. It was a sleeping spell. It makes you look like your dead, and my guess is that he casted it wrong, and misjudged how long he wanted you to sleep for. So, instead of being asleep for 15 minutes, you were asleep for 15 years." She said, and they nodded.
"Makes sense I suppose." Lily said, and James nodded. Lily shooshed everyone, as harry had fallen asleep in James's arms. He gently laid him down on the hospital bed, lily tucking him in, and kissed his forhead.
"I love you so much sweet heart. Pleasant dreams" she whispered, and they left with Dumbledore, giving them a room of their own to sleep in. Everything was good.
