Harry groaned and woke up asking "What the bloody hell happened?" then stopped that train of thought when he noticed his voice seemed to have deepened by an octave.

Pleased with this though, he slowly opened his eyes and saw next to him was Hermione, who also seemed to be coming around. He forgot her temporarily when he noticed how much he had changed. He looked like he grew at least a foot in height and estimated he was now at least 5ft10in. He also was no longer a bean pole and seemed to weigh at least 200 pounds. However unlike his fat bully of what he thought was a cousin his body was all muscle, making him look like a male model.

He noticed he had on a full body suit with red boots and a scarlet cape, with a crimson belt around his waist. The rest of the suit was a deep azure, except for the front of his torso. On his newly broadened chest, he had a symbol that he recognized as the one that a vaguely familiar muggle on TV wore. When he looked down past his chiseled chest, he saw a bright gold ring with a blood-red lion in the center. He looked at his cape and found the same symbol there that he had on his chest.

Hearing a low keening, he looked up to see he was in what looked like the 9 ¾ train station for the Hogwarts express. The strange thing was that he noticed he was one of only three beings present at the place. Crying under a bench was what he realized was what looked like Voldy.

He heard Voldy as he yelled angrily between sobs things like "I was going to rule them all," "Curse you to hell Dumbles," "My horcuxes couldn't have failed!"

Voldy seemed so wrapped up in his temper tantrum that he looked like he was not going to notice anything that happened around him for a while. Harry would have found the sight of Voldemort crying like a little child rather amusing if the situation was not what it was.

Getting confused he starting to panic at looked back at Hermione who said in a nervous voice "okay Harry let's not panic, we should assess the situation before we act."

Harry in a highly uncharacteristic move agreed with her right away and thought to himself 'okay why am I not feeling like I should charge forward then think about it after like the Gryffindor I am, I am starting to get very worried.'

A familiar voice behind him said with mirth "It might be a good idea to not panic, and as for your answers we will give you them."

Whipping his head around he found himself seeing what he recognized as Lily and James Potter. Next to them stood what looked like another couple that seemed familiar to him who were wearing clothes that were in a similar fashion to his. Also present were five other women and a man he know he had seen somewhere in a book before. Finally the last person looked like a very pale teenager with black hair that ran down to her shoulders. Dressed up like a Goth she gave Harry a feeling like he was being judged when she looked into his eyes with her black eyes.

At this point Harry said with determination "Okay what the bloody hell is going on!?"


Hermione woke up to Harry next to her, and noticed she felt very different. She opened her eyes to see Harry looking like he could be a younger brother of that flying Muggle that she had seen on TV. As she looked around she found that she looked like she was in the Hogwarts train station at 9 ¾, but with almost no one there. He saw with her and Harry was what looked like Voldemort (he certainly matched the descriptions of the thing Harry gave her), but she found he was excessively busy having a temper tantrum to notice anything that happened around him.

Overlooking him for the moment Hermione looked at herself and found she had on black clothing that had white spots on it that glittered in the dim light, almost like the outfit was a view of the stars themselves. The outfit had short sleeves, and leggings that tapered down to a pair of high-rise boots. Hermione saw that she had a steel bracelet on each of her wrists that went down towards her elbows, and she somehow knew these bracelets could block any weapon from hitting her. Around her hips was what looked like a fancy strip of silver cloth with a black circle in the center that had a W symbol on it in silver.

Her body seemed to also look like a 16 year old version of that flying Muggle from TV that now seemed very familiar to her. To complete the ensemble there was a bluish colored rope with some length to it hitched onto her right hip. It was able to cause anyone wrapped up in it with less willpower than her to do what she wants and also had unlimited length, at least according to some very fuzzy memories that were gradually coming back to her. She got up and looked at Harry, who now looked like he was getting more confused and panicked by the second.

She said to Harry "Okay Harry let's not panic, we should assess the situation before we act," although, to be honest, she was rather panicked.

She found the clothes she was now wearing odd but familiar, to say the least. She looked at her outfit in a fit of confusion, before she turned her attention to Harry.

She looked away from him and began to look around for clues as to where they were when Harry said, "Okay I am really going to start panicking soon if I do not get answers soon."

A voice behind him said with mirth "It might be a good idea to not panic, and as for your answers we will give you them."


Hermione whipped her head around and found herself seeing what she recognized as Lily and James Potter. Next to them stood what looked like another couple that seemed familiar to her who were wearing clothes that were in a similar fashion to Harry's. There were also five other women and a man she know she had seen somewhere in a book and real life before.

Finally the last person had the looks of a very pale teenager with black hair that ran down to her shoulders. Dressed up like a Goth she gave Hermione a feeling like she was being judged when she looked into her black eyes with her amber eyes.

At this point Harry said with determination "Okay what the bloody hell is going on," at which Hermione said "Harry, language," even though she too was curious as to what was going on.

The first one to move was the Goth teenager, who walked over to Voldy and touched him on the shoulder, and immediately Voldy looked at her and seemed to realize who she was.

Voldemort started shrieking again as he cried, "this cannot be" repeatedly before he disappeared in a flash of dark orange, almost black, fire.

The fire was unlike the comforting flame of a phoenix, it seemed to be of pain and punishment. Harry and Hermione found it momentarily smelled like fire and brimstone before the smell slowly vanished. After doing this, the teenager vanished from the scene.

The newly 'soul bound' couple were now even more confused than before and Harry asked, "If I am seeing my dead parents then that must mean I am hallucinating or am dead."

Hermione had meanwhile recognized the five women and one man she saw in a group as the goddesses that blessed her and her sister. They were Demeter, Athena, Artemis, Aphrodite, Hestia, and Hermes of the Greek pantheon. Upon recognition of the identity of the six gods she immediately bowed. Harry, knowing that Hermione usually knew what she was doing joined her and bowed.

The fiery-haired, statuesque goddess Athena chuckled softly when she saw Harry's attempt to curtsey. Hestia smiled kindly, Demeter grinned in her good-natured way as Artemis burst out into silvery laughter. The others could no longer resist, and so everyone joined in, creating a musical harmony of joyous sound.

The one Hermione identified as Athena wiped tears of laughter from her wise gray eyes and said "Arise, Donna Troy of Themyscira and Har-El (pronounced hair-el) of Krypton." Upon standing up Harry said "Okay, what is going on?"

Lily answered "Well, son that lady over there that just made Voldemort vanish was Death…" "So wait we are dead, really? I literally got kissed to death? This…"

"No Harry you are not dead if you choose not to be for you see…" Those present then took turns to explain the manipulations of Dumbles plus what had happened because of their soul bond, at the end of which Harry and Hermione furiously proclaimed they were going to make Dumbles pay.

"So wait, I had relatives that I could have been staying with instead of the Dursleys for blood wards that Dumbles made up!? I am going to…" Harry went into a rant of what he planned to do to Dumbles in a very painful fashion, while Hermione described things she was going to do that made the men that were present cringe at the thought of it.

Lily stopped Harry and Hermione in mid-rant when she said "Harry you do not need to do that as when Dumbles wakes up, which he will do before you, he is going to be tortured by the people he brought torture upon before being shoved through the veil. In fact, as of right now, they are shredding his reputation, like a cat with a ball of string, while he is in the coma. Additionally, they have with the recent deaths of the death eaters and Voldy been able to get the living Sirius Black a trial. While your Uncle Giovanni is informing his friends of the situation; his daughter and some acquaintances are gathering up the people on the list for your adaption up to speak them all."

James continued with "Now Harry we were going to tell you when you were older, but in case we died we left a letter in our family vault that Dumbles as the self-appointed magical guardian should have told you about at the age of eleven. You see we are your blood adopted parents, so while we are related biologically, we are not your birth parents. The blood adoption gave you a magical core that when you hit magical maturity will mean you are as powerful as your uncle and cousin, who are more powerful than Dumbles and Voldy combined. You are not even close in power to the lords of order and chaos however. Anyways these two here are Jor-El and Lara-Lor-Van of Krypton…"

Hermione asked "wait krypton like the planet superman of the Justice League says he was born on?"

James looking slightly irritated answered "yes the very same, now please let us finish."

Continuing where James left off Jor-El started his part of the explanation; "you see Harry or as we named you Har-El, you were the identical twin of your brother Kal-El. When your ships carrying both you and your brother launched they froze both of you at your infant stage for the journey between Krypton and Earth. You were both supposed to be raised by the Kents like your brother was. Unfortunately a piece of kryptonite from the exploding Krypton struck and got lodged into the ship you were on and slightly damaged the propulsion system causing your ship to take about seventeen years longer to get to its destination. By the time your ship had arrived the ship did not have enough fuel to get you to the Kents so it went to the secondary family I chose, the Potters."

Lily picked it up from here with a "That is where we come in. Your father and I in July of 1994 had been very saddened when we got back from the hospital after our child came out stillborn, and further learned that due to complications from the pregnancy that I would be unable to have more kids. No one except the nurse who had been sworn to secrecy knew about the stillbirth."

James continued with "we were inconsolable and wallowing at the Potter Cottage in Gordric's Hollow when we heard a crash outside. Rushing to see what had happened we found the ship that had you on it, which had apparently bounced off the warded walls of the house and landed hard in the dirt meters away from the house. The ship opened up to show you crying loudly, and just as we were about to check to see if you were okay a hologram appeared with your birth parents explaining how you got there, what your powers would be, and asking us to take care of you. The A.I. of the ship informed us that your identical twin brother was set to land in Smallville, Kansas. The A.I. also told us about a green rock that looked like what was stuck to the top of the ship would be one of the few things able to harm you when you are under a yellow star. We immediately took the rock and sealed it in lead as the A.I. suggested, and then took you to get adopted by us."

"That day we blood adopted you with the help of the goblins at Gridgotts and officially made you a potter. When the adoption process was finished we noticed that your eyes had turned green like mine and that your hair became messy like your father's. This gave use the idea to tell everyone that you were the baby that I gave birth to so we could hide your unusual origin from unscrupulous parties. We only told Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Amelia Bones, your uncle Giovanni Zatara, Minerva McGonagall, and unfortunately Albus Dumbledore after spelling them to absolute secrecy. We planned on taking a family trip to Smallville to introduce you to your identical twin brother but put it off until I had found a way to protect you as much as possible, and by the time I accomplished this it was Halloween and Voldemort killed us."

Lily then said "now out of my worry I searched for a way to protect you from green kryptonite, but found out that your magic protects you from it when James accidentally knocked the lead case open when you were in close proximity of it. An interesting side effect of you being a full blooded magical Kryptonian was that your magic would greatly amplify the power level of your Kryptonian powers. Despite your great powers you would still be as vulnerable to magic as any other magic user. To protect you from the killing curse I devised a ritual that I found would only work with your special case of heritage. It required a mother to sacrifice herself for a child that was not of their own but was blood adopted. As you can probably guess the ritual worked as you lived through the attack. Now I am guessing that Death wants to speak to you two seeing as that she has come back."

And indeed the girl that Lily had identified as death was back and had an expression on her face that would suggest she had waited for an opportunity to talk.

She took this opportunity to talk when she said "Harry and Hermione I want to thank you for getting that &%$#% Voldemort for me as I could not do it even with my abilities, as my boss has put restrictions on what I am allowed to do. As a thank you gift for that I have made costume for you for when you go back. They are indestructible and look like the clothes you have on now. As a bonus for setting into motion events that will bring that horrible man Dumbles to me I made it so that unless they are someone you would want to know your secret identity will be unable to be uncovered, that is if you decide to become superheroes."

Harry in reaction to this thought that she sounded like she knew he would want to be a superhero was surprise, as he thought he might not want to.

As if Hermione could sense what he was thinking she said "Harry you know you have a people-saving-thing, you would never be able to resist being able to help people. As for me, do you think I would have worked so hard to solve the dangers that the school went through each year with you if I didn't have the same problem."

After Hermione finished her mini-rant (It reminded some of the men in the room of their spouse), Death continued with "Also Harry I changed your glasses to regular glass seeing as you will not need the prescription anymore, and I put enchantments on them to help keep your secret identity a secret."

After that Death whispered something that even Harry with his super hearing could not hear to Lily, and then disappeared once again back to where ever she went.

Hermione who was catching up to the information she was being told suddenly said "wait I thought we were dead?"

James Potter finished their explanations with "well as for whether you two are dead or not that is your choice…"

"Wait what?!" said Hermione and Harry simultaneously before looking at each other and blushing to the amusement of all the others present.

"Well you can decide to join us in heaven, but I should warn you that without your presence in the world that the world will end in less than fifty years. The reason you can go back is that as another reward for you Death made it so that you would have an opportunity to talk to us. By using the massive energies released from your soul bond and the destruction of Voldemort and his followers she was able to accomplish this. As a parting gift Death has given you a basic understanding of your powers to the point you will not hurt anyone, but you will still need to practice with them to get the hang of your new powers. Now Harry, when you go back I would suggest you go to Gritgotts and ask to have an inheritance test done" said James Potter.

Lily said "Death just told us that our time is up and you have to decide, but if you go back remember we will be watching you from heaven. Also thank you for finally completing your soul bond, it will prevent all attempts at mind control from working on you two. You know for generations now it has been Potter tradition to pair up with a genius woman that has a scary temper when angered." This comment earned a slap upside the head from Lily, to which they all had a laugh about.

Harry and Hermione decided to go back so they could reunite with their rediscovered family.

Harry then said, "We've decided to go back, and I'll try to make all of you proud of me."

"Oh Harry, we're already very proud of you," said a highly emotional Lily who had tears in her eyes like the rest of Harry's relatives that were present.

As the scene faded from Hermione's and Harry's view, they heard an "I love you" from the group.

What was a little embarrassing was the last thing they heard from James Potter, which was "Also don't have children too soon; we're not ready to be grandparents."

The last thing Harry and Hermione heard from the group was lighthearted laughter at the bright blushes that resulted from James' comment.


When Harry woke up the first thing he saw was a face that looked like his with sky blue eyes.


When Hermione woke up the first thing she saw was a face that looked identical to what she presumed hers would look like in her prime.
