Chapter 1

"James, Lily! We got him!" Sirius Black shouted as he entered the Potter cottage in Godric's Hollow. Lily looked up from her seat at the kitchen table and saw her husband do the same from across her.

"Padfoot, calm down!" James shouted as the tall man burst into the kitchen. Remus followed more sedately just as Danny Potter came barging in with April and Pearl hot on his heels.

Sirius took a deep breath before grinning, "We found Harry!"

"What?" "Really?" "YES!"

James was on his feet with Lily as they looked at each other in excitement. Harry had run away seven years ago and they had been looking for him ever since.

"Where is he?" Lily shouted as she hurried past Sirius to the fireplace. Remus grinned, "he is in Dumbledore's office right now – you are never going to believe what you see, guys."

James and Lily shared a nervous look but didn't hesitate in whizzing through the fireplace. Danny, April and Pearl rushed into the fireplace next before Sirius and Remus followed.

Entering the headmaster's office, they found Lily with her arms wrapped tightly around an uncomfortable looking boy. Even as she hugged him, Lily noticed how Harry shifted and how thin he was.

And when he started coughing, she pulled away quickly in concern, "Did I hurt you? Harry?"

Harry raised a finger to signal her to wait a minute before pulling out a tissue from his pocket and coughing into it. When he stopped, the tissue was covered in blood though he didn't seem to care as he tossed it in the trash.

A woman none of them had ever seen before hurried forward and handed him a vial of green potion. Harry grimaced at it before drinking it down. Throughout all this, Lily took a look at her son. Once identical to Danny, Harry was quite different now. He was extremely thin and pale. His eyes were sunken and the emerald shine in them was dim. And when he glanced at her, his eyes were full of pain and wisdom – something she had only seen in Dumbledore's eyes.

"Whats wrong with him. Harry?" James spoke up.

The woman whispered in Harry's ear. He smiled softly at her and smiled back before turning to face them all.

"Sorry about that. Hello mum, dad." Harry's American accent was very prominent as he turned to his siblings and nodded at them too.

"James ask him where we found him" Sirius looked eager as he stepped forward. James raised an eyebrow at his friend before turning to Harry questioningly.

Dumbledore stepped forward just then and said, "Why don't we all take a seat. Harry, maybe you would like some water or food?"

Harry looked at Dumbledore oddly, "I am fine." He did however take a seat in the couches next to the woman. The others sat down in the couches facing them before Dumbledore asked from his armchair, "Harry who is your companion?"

The woman looked at him, her features hard. She was tall and exquisitely beautiful. Her hair was blood red and was pulled into a high ponytail with a few strands falling about her face. She was dressed in a dark red corset top and black leather pants with tall black biker boots. A black leather jacket was draped around the arm of the couch. Next to her Harry was dressed simply in dark blue torn jeans and a loose black t-shirt that showed off the tattoos completely covering both his arms.

He ran one tattooed arm through his suddenly free hair and said, "This is Alex Rogers. Alex meet my family. These are my parents James and Lily Potter."

Alex looked at the tall black haired man who looked a lot like Harry and the redheaded woman and nodded.

"That's my twin brother and younger sisters April and Pearl."

Alex nodded to the three he pointed at. Danny was very similar to James Potter in looks. April and Pearl both had dark red hair like Lily Potter and hazel eyes. April looked more like James Potter while Pearl looked like Lily.

"And you know the ones who brought us here. Sirius Black and Remus Lupin. And that man is Albus Dumbledore."

Alex nodded to the final three before glancing at James and Lily who seemed to be bursting with questions. But it was Sirius who said, "Come on Harry! tell them what you were doing when we found you!"

Beside her Harry looked slightly annoyed before saying, "We had just retrieved a most wondrous set of pink diamonds from Marguerite's boutique when we bumped into Mr. Black here."

"Retrieved?" James asked faintly, "You mean stole?"

Harry rolled his eyes, "Tomato, Tomaato. Same thing."

"You know we have a ton of money right? You could just have bought it" Danny said.

Harry snorted at him before coughing again. Cursing as more blood came out, he growled, "Fuck, I must have overdone it again."

Alex rolled her eyes, "Nah, you didn't even use magic for the job. It's the damn school. Its saturated with magic."

Harry frowned as he threw another set of red tissues into the trash.

"What is wrong with you? Tell me right now!" James Potter spoke up angrily making them both pause. Harry groaned as he saw the expectant faces around him. Next to him Alex crossed her legs and leaned back as though enjoying the show.

He glared at her before turning to them, "Eight years ago, there was an accident in Diagon Alley. A group of death eaters attacked as we were shopping."

"We already know that Harry" April cut in.

"Yes but you don't know all of it," Harry said patiently before continuing, "When the death eaters began torturing dad, I guess I lost it. Something broke within me and before I knew it, there was this swirling green magic seeping out of my skin. I couldn't stop it and it kept growing in my panic. And then I only remember a swirling ball of green as the magic attacked everything around me. I remember running at the death eaters and watching as they fell to the ground lifeless before falling unconscious. When I woke up ten minutes later, I found myself in the middle of a completely silent Diagon alley. The green magic or aura was still leaking out of my skin and all around me, people were lying dead. Afraid, I ran away through the streets. It wasn't until later I found out that only the death eaters and some civilians were dead. The rest were unconscious. But it was too late by then. I was already in the backalleys of London where I quickly found out that anyone who came close to me and my magic died instantly. So I ran."

Absolute silence greeted his speech before Remus asked, "Is that why you are sick? Your magic?"

Harry shrugged but didn't say anything about it as Lily asked, "And Alex?"

Alex shared a look with Harry before saying, "We met around five years ago in Egypt. We were both trying to steal a particular time turner that would take us back to particular moments in time before returning us at the same age."

"The Heh! You found it?" Dumbledore looked amazed as he leaned forward in anticipation.

Harry looked at him oddly and nodded, "Among other things, yes. After trying to kill each other, Alex and I simply used it together to go back in time."

"You went back in time?" James looked shocked. Harry grinned slightly and nodded.

"Like where? Merlin? Hogwarts?" Danny asked eagerly.

Harry shrugged and looked at Alex again before she said, "We visited many time periods and ages before the Heh broke. We did get to see the Merlin and the founders if you were wondering though."

"That's… that's amazing! I wish it wasn't broken" Danny said.

Harry didn't look very upset as Sirius asked, "So…. Why were you stealing the diamonds?"

Harry rolled his eyes as the man came back to the same topic. He pointed at Alex who looked smug, "She wanted them."

Alex waved her wand at her neck and the necklace there shimmered into existence. It was beautiful with five large pink diamonds set as drops on a light gold chain. Matching earrings hung from her small ears.

"They are lovely" Pearl said as she took a closer look. Harry shrugged and Alex smiled brightly.

"So you have been in different periods all these years? That explains why we couldn't find you!" Remus noted.

"Actually Alex and I only travelled back in time for about a month of our time though we were gone for longer in the past" Harry said.

"Why are you back in Britain if you knew how to hide so well then?" Dumbledore asked cleverly.

"Because I forced him to come back" Alex replied to the question, her eyes stern, "I wanted the diamonds yes. But I heard of this Voldemort problem you are having and I think that Harry and I could help you all."

Harry looked annoyed as there was silence. "Can you help us?" Danny asked eagerly, "There is this prophecy that I have to defeat Voldemort but if you could…"

Harry shook his head, "Sorry but I don't use magic unless I want to kill everyone around me. I suppose you could put Voldemort in a room with me and he would end up dead…"

Alex swatted his arm and looked at Danny, "I was thinking more along the lines of training you Danny. We know of the prophecy and we want to help."

"Absolutely!" Danny nodded. A sudden clearing of the throat however had them all turning to Dumbledore who looked bemused.

"I think it is a splendid idea for you to train Danny. In fact, the two of you can join as new sixth years in Gryffindor house with Danny and his friends."

Harry blinked at that and groused, "Hell no! I aint no sixteen year old!"

"Harry!" Alex swatted him in the shoulder, "You will join us and you will like it."

Harry grumbled about sixteen year old brats, pigheaded women and old goats as the amused group all stood up. Sirius spoke up, "So want to meet the other sixteen year old brats?"

Harry glared at him as he stood too. April and Pearl laughed with Danny at his expression while James said, "What are you thinking Padfoot?"

Sirius grinned, "I am thinking we should move to Order headquarters early."

James looked at Lily before shrugging, "Sounds good."

"Oh and we need to get some food into you Harry. you are way too thin" Lily said nonchalantly as she stepped forward.

Harry glared at Alex like it was all her fault as he was ushered to the fireplace. Alex snorted before turning to James Potter who was staring at him.

"What is your relationship with my son?"

Alex raised an eyebrow, "Nothing until Harry comes to his senses."

James smiled at that and put an arm around her shoulders, "In that case welcome to the Potters."

Alex snorted as they all disappeared in the flames.

Harry blinked as he fell out of the fireplace into a plush red carpet. Someone laughed as he pulled himself to his feet. Looking around he found his mother with a big smile on her face as April laughed next to her.

"What? Do I have something on my nose?" Harry touched his nose.

"No honey" Lily patted him on the back as James Potter landed the same exact way on the carpet, "You just look exactly like your father."

Harry rolled his eyes at her as James stood up looking confused, "Watz going on?"

Lily rolled her eyes and explained it to him as Harry looked around. They were in a large living room of some sort with tall ceilings and golden chandeliers. A door led to a kitchen cum dining hall and a staircase led to a second floor that looked down upon the living room.

But even as he was watching, Harry felt a stabbing pain in his heart. The house they were in was extremely magical and the magic was piercing him.

"Harry!" Sirius was the first to notice as Harry clutched his heart and fell to his knees. As everyone turned and moved to help, Alex shouted, "No stay back!"

Harry was still doubled over as his skin began turning green. As the magic began leaking out, Alex ran over to him and knelt in front of him. in a forceful tone she said, "Harry look at me."

Harry shook his head and Alex growled, "Harry LOOK AT ME."

Harry blinked and raised his head, showing off anguished eyes as he looked at her in the eyes.

Alex looked into his eyes, "Take a deep breath Harry. take big breaths and don't think of anything else. You can control this. Deep breaths. Deep."

Harry followed her advice maintaining eye contact. It was five minutes later that the aura began receding into his skin and the second it completely faded away, Harry slumped to the floor, unconscious.

"Harry!" Lily rushed over to him ignoring Alex's previous words. Alex glared at her before reaching past and feeling Harry's pulse. She cursed loudly making several people send her surprised looks as she stood.

"Move aside!"

Danny who was leaning against the wall looked confused but moved as Alex pulled out a longer chain around her neck. She opened a locket there and pulled out a miniature door. Setting it against the wall, she chanted quickly, not reacting as a full sized door appeared against the wall.

She yanked the white door open before turning to James Potter, "Can you bring Harry?"

James nodded to her before lifting Harry up. He didn't pause before following Alex into the space the door connected to. He did pause however in the living room he had entered. It was long, the size of the Great hall at Hogwarts. on the other side of the living room, half the long space was sectioned off with glass. Several rooms could be seen there, closed with curtains.

"Here!" Alex shouted from a small box like room that connected the two halfs. James ran in there closely followed by the rest of the group. Alex was dressed in light pink scrubs and was scrubbing up. A light on the top of the room turned red as soon as they entered and the door behind them shut.

As Lily tried to open the door on the other side, a robotic voice spoke, "Not cleansed yet. Wait until light turns green."

Lily gaped, "What is this place?"

Alex put on gloves before saying, "This is a cleansing room as Harry calls it. It removes all pathogens from the people entering before they can go to the other side."

"And why are we here?" James asked angrily. His son was sick in his arms and he wanted to take him to a hospital.

Alex frowned at him as the light turned green and the voice said, "All Clear. You may proceed to authorized areas."

Alex ran through the door and shouted, "Mr. Potter, follow me!"

They all entered a room full of computers and other large equipment but Alex was on the far end of the room that was sectioned off with another glass barrier. She was entering a passcode into a keypad there before she allowed a laser to scan her eye, "Access granted."

Running to the next room, it was revealed to be a modified hospital room. Alex pointed at James to lay Harry down on the bed before ushering them all out.

"You can see what is happening from the other side" Alex pointed at the living room. Everyone looked annoyed at being pushed out but they ran out the same cleansing room to the other side to look inside.

Alex didn't even miss a beat as she wheeled a large machine over to Harry and a tray with surgery implements. As she hooked him up to a heart monitor, Lily gasped loudly as a straight line was seen, "He is dead! James, he has no heart beat!"

James felt his heart breaking as he wrapped an arm around her, "Hang on Lily. Look Alex is doing something."

Looking back into the room, they noticed that Alex was indeed doing something. Within moments, she had Harry's chest open and hooked up to a large machine that seemed to mechanically start his heart again. As a steady heartbeat was seen on the monitor, she paused to take a breath.

Also at this time, she opened a drawer in the bedside table and pulled out four sets of illuminating blue handcuffs. She swiftly cuffed each of his wrists and ankles to anchors on the side of the bed.

"What are you doing?" James shouted knocking on the glass.

Alex didn't pause as she said, "I have to restrain him. If his aura takes control of him, he will not hesitate to kill me and you all."

James gaped and Danny said quietly, "Dad, let her do whatever she is doing."

James nodded dumbly. Near him, Dumbledore looked fascinated by Alex as she hooked up more monitors to Harry and began operating expertly. Within half an hour, she stepped back proudly as Harry's heart beat on its own, though erratically. She sewed him up, set up several potions on IVs before walking out of the room.

"Is he going to be alright?" Lily asked in worry as Alex stepped out dressed in her old clothes. Alex nodded as she took a seat in the couches near them.

"Don't worry Mrs. Potter, this happens often enough that he is going to be perfectly fine – probably pissed off but fine."

"He stops living often enough?" Remus asked skeptically.

Alex laughed, "Weird isn't it? Anyways, something happened when he landed there that caused him to lose control of his magic and he usually has a tight reign on it. Any idea what?"

"Its probably the Potter family wards" James Potter said angrily, "I didn't know they would do that to him! they are powerful yes, but they shouldn't do that!"

Alex waved her hand placatingly, "its alright Mr. Potter. I doubt anyone could have known. I imagine the wards have a mechanism of judging him worthy?"

James nodded and she shrugged, "They probably recognized that he has warring magic within him and began attacking. There is a simple method of getting around that in the future."

"Like what" Dumbledore asked curiously. He was fascinated by the pair.

Alex smiled, "We just mask half his magic with a modified internal glamour. It creates a knot of magic that will lead the wards to believing he is a muggle or a person with very little magic."

Dumbledore nodded, "Absolutely fascinating. I must ask what you did in there. I know of no mechanism that can restart a person's heart after they are dead."

"He wasn't dead" Alex rolled her eyes, "What most wizards don't know is that magic keeps your body alive even after the heart stops for almost half an hour. With the proper training in muggle medicine, you can heal the repairs to the heart and get it going again."

"Amazing. Muggles are amazing" Remus commented mirroring the dazed looks everyone was sharing.

Alex shrugged and looked up into an intercom system, "Harry you awake yet?"

They all looked into the room as Harry shifted and groaned, "Alex, what the fuck did you do to me? If you unleashed that griffin on me again, I swear I will kill you."

Alex rolled her eyes at the questioning looks around her and shouted, "You did this to yourself, jackass. Apparently the Potter wards thought you unworthy."

Harry didn't say anything for a second before, "That explains a lot. They probably have an intrinsic judgement mechanism weaved into a coronal network of wards. And they probably have some arx wards keyed in with a custodial complex of-"

Alex walked out of the cleansing room into the hospital room, "shut up Alex. You are boring me."

"Amazing! I haven't heard of half those charms" Dumbledore whispered under his breath as the group followed her into the hospital chamber. Alex was undoing the cuffs as Harry sat up. He glanced at the IVs and yanked them out of his arm, not reacting as pain flooded him.

"Are you supposed to do that? Don't you need to heal?" Pearl asked intelligently.

Alex shook his head, "I will heal faster anyways as a side effect of my aura. The IVs are only pain relief potions which well, I don't want to get to addicted to again. Once in a life is more than enough."

They all nodded dumbly as Alex threw a shirt at him. Harry pulled it on before looking at his parents, "What the heck are you looking at me like that for?"

"You almost died!" Lily screeched before pulling him into a hug. Harry patted her back awkwardly before looking at James Potter who was hiding a grin.

"Mom, you seriously need to stop hugging me. I swear you crush more of my ribs than a bulldozer" Harry said moments later. Lily sent a half laugh before pulling back with a smile on her face.

Harry smiled at her before looking at Alex, "You glamour-woman fire away!"

Alex snorted indignantly before jabbing him in the ribs with her wand and chanting a spell. Harry winced a little when he felt the magic but shrugged it off and stood.

"Where are we Harry?" Dumbledore asked as they walked out.

Harry shrugged, "My personal space. This is where Alex and I do a good portion of our research among other things."

"Research?"

Harry nodded and slipped a hand around Alex's waist, "Yep. Its here that we found the wolfpax potion."

"Wait a minute." Everyone stopped in their tracks to look at Remus. The man was gaping along with some of the others, "YOU found the wolfpax potion?"

Harry looked at Alex and they shrugged, "Yep. Pity it only saves werewolves from transforming if they take the potion. We were hoping for a more permanent cure."

And before anyone could stop him, Remus had the two of them enveloped in a huge hug, "Thank you so much!"

Harry looked at Alex in confusion, "You have any idea whats going on?"

Alex shook her head dumbly as she ducked out of Remus's hug.

Sirius laughed and pulled Remus off, "You guys are just fool of surprises aren't you? Our friend here is a werewolf and your potion prevents him from transforming every month."

"Oh, then you are welcome" Harry said understanding.

"But the potion was supposedly invented by a mysterious company – BlueMoon incorporated" Danny said as they exited the door. Alex took a moment to shrink the door and return it to her necklace as Harry said, "Well neither of us wanted the credit for it. What are we going to do with the money? It goes to a bunch of charities around the world."

"That's awesome Harry!" James looked extremely proud as he clapped Harry on the back. Harry smiled at his father as Dumbledore said, "I am going to leave now. I don't think I can take any more surprises at my age."

Everyone waved at Dumbledore as he took off.

"You really are full of surprises Harry. have you discovered the Fountain of Youth by any chance?" Sirius asked brightly as they walked into the kitchen.

Harry shrugged, wincing as his chest ached in pain, "Unfortunately no. we did find a small stone in Romania though that lets you take the youth of another person and give your old age to them. You could live forever that way but the only downside if you will be sterile."

Sirius looked horrified, "Er no thanks."

James laughed loudly as Lily pushed Harry into a chair and began loading his plate up with food.

"Woman I cant eat all that – I will probably burst!" Harry gaped at the mountain on his plate. Across from him Danny snorted as Lily did the same to Alex's plate.

"You both are much too skinny. I have to fatten you up!"

Harry exchanged a horrified look with Alex just as the door opened and a boisterous redhead ran in, "Dan!"

Danny grinned widely, "Ginny!" They hugged before sitting down next to each other and across from Alex and Harry.

Another redhead came in more slowly with a bushy haired girl. They took seats next to Danny and Ginny as more redheads came into the room.

"What is this? The red inquisition?" Harry asked curiously.

"Er no, its close though. We are the Weasleys" one of two twins said. Harry nodded dumbly and Danny laughed before introducing everyone.

"Oh and this is my brother Harry and his girlfriend Alex" he sent Harry a smirk.

"She is not my girlfriend!" Harry said indignantly as he looked at Alex. Alex rolled her eyes, "He is actually right. We are more friends with lets say, benefits."

"Uh huh" Danny said in a disbelieving voice. On the other side, James and Lily Potter were explaining to the newly arrived Weasleys how their son had returned into their lives.

"Harry…."

Harry looked at Pearl with a raised eyebrow as she dragged his name out, "Yah?"

"How come you have an American accent?" Pearl asked curiously.

The others in the table stopped talking to listen as Harry shrugged, "Alex and I learnt medicine in the states and I like the American way of speech better than the British but I can switch accents, like this."

Case in point, he finished the last part of the sentence with a British accent.

"Cool! Can you teach me?" Pearl looked excited. Harry grinned at her, "Why not?"

"I have a question."

Harry turned to look at the girl Hermione, "huh?"

"are you in the Order?"

"Don't know, are we?" Harry directed the question to James Potter. James looked surprised before nodding, "Don't see why not Harry. the rule is that you must have completed your magical education and you both seem to have done that several times over."

Harry and Alex shrugged identically. Hermione looked indignant and was about to argue something when a blaring sound had them all looking at Harry.

Harry didn't pay any heed as he pulled a circular mirror out of his pocket and looked into it, "What?"

The face of a man who looked like he was running propped up. And when he spoke it was with a British accent, "Mate, care to help a brother out?"

Harry rolled his eyes, "Eames, who did you piss off? Somalians? Cubans? The French?"

Eames rolled his eyes, "Oh no, no." He ducked into a dark alley that obscured his face, "Just the Russians."

"Oh yah just the Russians" Harry rolled his eyes at the group, "What do you need?"

"An AK-47, a bottle of whiskey and a way out of here" the man clipped back.

Harry snorted and stood, "Well I need a smoke anyway. What are your coordinates?"

Eames said some numbers and before anyone could do anything, Harry had vanished from the table.

"What the hell?" everyone turned to Alex.

She just shrugged, "He does that a lot. Don't worry – he will be back soon enough."

"A smoke, wait, he said he needed a smoke. Does Harry smoke?" Lily shrieked.

Alex raised an eyebrow at the woman, "yah, he smokes, drinks and does a lot of stuff you probably don't approve of. But come on woman, live life a little."
