Chapter 2: Getting to know you

Sirius laughed nervously, "See, I told you, touched in the head.."

Dumbledore, however, looked at the young man appraisingly, "1997, you say?"

The boy gave him a "Yeah, duh" look before turning his head to look at Lily and James. The boy's face clouded, he growled out angrily, "So what is this? Some sort of Death Eater trick? Trying get revenge for what I did to Lord Chuckles by making me think I've gone mad? Well it wont work..."

"Death Eater?!" shouted Sirius, "Do you know who you're talking to?!"

The boy gave him an angry stare, "Well I'm definitely not talking to Sirius Black, he died back in my fifth year. Or Albus Dumbledore, he died a few weeks ago, took fifteen death eaters with him. And not Remus Lupin, he died just hours ago, saved me from a Avada Kedavra. And I'm definitely not talking to Lily and James Potter. They died when i was just a baby. So you tell me, who am I talking to?" he finished with a yell.

They all looked at the boy, shocked. Finally Dumbledore broke the silence.

"And who might you be?" he asked

The boy smirked, "as if you didn't know. But I'll humor you. I'm Harry James Potter."

"What?!" exclaimed James

The boy continued, "The Boy-Who-Lived. The Chosen One. The Gryffindor Golden Boy. Leader of The Golden Trio...the... only one left." he finished, whispering the last few words.

Dumbledore gazed at him, "I'm sorry to say, uh, Harry, But it is not, as you think, 1997. It is in fact, 1980."

The boy's eyes narrowed, "Prove it."

Dumbledore smiled, "ask me anything."

Harry thought for a second, then said, "On the count of three, if Fate could be called any name she wanted, what would it be? One, two, three,"

"Katrina." Both Dumbledore and Harry said.

Harry paled, "She... she told me you were the only one other than me to ask that... that... that means you really are... and its really...oh Merlin." he said, bringing his hands up to his face.

The room was silent for several moments, then, inevitably, a voice broke the silence,

"Um... what just happened?" asked Sirius.

Harry lowered his hands. He was grinning ear to ear.

"I know what she meant! I'm getting a second chance! I can save you all!" he said, springing up from the chair they had sat him on, "Okay, we need to start planning. Professor do you have any idea where Voldemort is hiding? Is Sev spying for you yet? You know, he never did tell me why he came back to our side. No matter, we just need information. Merlin, I wish Ron was here, he was brilliant at strategy. I need to keep training, he's at his peak, magically speaking, in this time, so its going to take a little more effort this time around. Where are we anyway? I know its not Grimmauld, Sirius' mum would still be alive. Oh, you know what we need is a few maps of London and the surrounding areas..." Harry rambled.

Several maps appeared in the table.

"Brilliant! Are we in the Room of Requirement? This room is perfect! Okay, we're going to need to stock up on potions... what?"

They were all gaping at him.

"Um.." started Remus

"Sev?!" shouted James and Sirius incredulously.

Harry rolled his eyes at them, "Anyway, back to planning. I can't believe I'm here in this room with all of you! I..." Harry's voice trailed off. He slowly spun on his heel to face Peter, "You!" he said, jabbing his wand is Peter's round stomach, "You're the reason I have no parents. YOU'RE the reason i had to live in a cupboard till i went to Hogwarts. You're the reason Voldemort came back to power. You! You... TRAITORUS RAT!" Harry shouted. The room started to shake, their dinner glasses shattered. Peter cowered in the corner, terrified of the glowing boy in front of him.

"Go on, show them! Show them what their friendship means to you!" Harry shouted, grabbing Peter's left forearm and shoving up his sleeve.

The room crackled with suppressed rage, a faint glow surrounding Harry. For a moment the others stood, stunned at the sight before them. Then they remembered to look down at Peter's bared forearm.

Lily gasped, James snarled, Sirius growled and Remus glared. Dumbledore just looked sad.

"Peter, why?" asked Lily in a sad voice.

"I... I..I.."

"Petey.." said James

Sirius flicked an apologetic glance over at Remus, who gave a slight nod, acknowledging it, before raging at Peter, "So you're the spy! You're the one thats been giving information to Voldemort!"

Peter edged further back, towards the door, his eyes flitting around franticly, before transforming into a rat and scurrying out of the room.

All eyes were on the door where Peter had just exited. Harry turned and punched the wall angrily, shouting, "Not AGAIN!," breaking the silence and bringing their attention back to him.

They all looked at him interestingly, this stranger who shook up their world. Once again, it was Sirius who broke the silence,

"Er... and who are you again?"

Harry grinned, "I've got plenty of titles, but you can call me Harry. Harry Potter."

Sirius squinted at him, "Are you sure you're not some kind of spy or something."

Harry laughed, "Yeah, cause if i was i would certainly tell you if i was. You know sometimes i wonder if Professor Snape wasn't half-right about Gryffindor's sometimes...:

"Snape!?" said Sirius incredulously

"...Professor!?" said James just as outrageously as Sirius.

Lily rolled her eyes "Boys."

Dumbledore finally spoke up, "This as quite interesting, however, i think, perhaps, we should now listen to Harry's story."

Harry grimaced, "alright but its not a real happy one.."
