A/N: Hey guys, HeyAssbutt21 here again, I promise that you that this chapter will be a lot longer than the previous two as I finally get more into Lily and James re-awakening and how they realise what is going on and everything else. So I hope you enjoy this chapter as much I enjoyed writing it and remember to leave a review at the end, telling me what you think.
Harry Potter and the Sudden Change of Life Itself
Chapter 2
Two Months Earlier
The whole house had been destroyed, rubble hung around the curtains, the windows had been blasted away, the staircase was crumbling and the house smelt of death so it was with a wonder when a young man of twenty-one sat up from where he had lain, back straight on the stairs and the look of shock, now replaced with a small stab of pain as he sat up, his hands immediately grasping in his pockets for his wand before remembering he had left it in the living room and he jumped up, ignoring the pain in the side of his head and running downstairs, throwing the living room door open and seeing his wand was still lying where he had left it, perched on the table top without a problem with it's outer-look at all.
Cautiously, the young man picked up his wand, feeling a spark of remembrance as the wand picked up on who it's master was but hadn't felt the warmth of his master in such a long time, the young man frowned and placed the wand in his back pocket, finally looking around the living room at hand and discovering that the living room was not the same way as he had left it minutes before..
But then he remembered something else and he had to clutch at his head as a memory overtook, a young man with snake-like eyes and slits for nostrils dressed from head to toe in a black travelling cloak had come to the house, had told him to move out of the way, how he could remember..
"Lily..."
And it was in that moment or so it seemed that everything seemed to come back to him in a flash, much like the flash of green he thought he remembered from earlier, his named was James Potter, he was twenty-one and he and his wife Lily had gone into hiding from an evil wizard named Lord Voldemort who wanted to kill his son since apparently his son was sent out to kill Lord Voldemort, so James and Lily and their son, Harry had had to go into hiding but mere hours previous, Voldemort had come from them, James could remember his voice, James telling Lily to take Harry and run, that he would off Voldemort, remembered Lily running up the stairs and himself blocking Voldemort but that was the last thing he could remember, so how was it that all of a sudden he was waking up, un-aware of how he gotten there and what had happened to his wife and son.
"James!"
The shout from above him, made James look up, remembering that he couldn't see through walls no matter how much he wished he could and instead, run out into the hallway, keeping his ears out for any other voice, any small noise or bump but there was none, was he sure that he had even heard the voice at all, it could have just been his imagination.
"James!"
The shout came again, this time much louder and more pleading from above and James knew he couldn't have imagined it, he knew that voice better than anything else.
"Lily!"
And James trampled up the stairs, taking them two at a time, hoping against any other hope that she was there, that his Lily was okay, he just had to get to her. He had to see her.
"...piss off and turned away from me and went to sleep like a big baby"
Harry had just finished explaining to Hermione, one of his best friends at Hogwarts about how his other best friend, well maybe not as best friendly now, Ron had reacted after Harry had returned to the Gryffindor Dormitory last night after his name had been pulled out of the Goblet of Fire and he'd had to endure twenty minutes of Mr Crouch and everyone fighting over whether he should be allowed to compete because he was underage before deciding that since his name had come out of the cup that he had no choice and would have to complete which was followed by being allowed to leave, even though the three other champions, didn't seem to think it was fair but Harry didn't care and had left, going back to talk to Ron who had turned on him, asking him how he had done it and that he should have told Ron about how he done it and in the end, Ron had overreacted, told him to piss off and turned away from him and now he was back to the here and now.
Hermione pursed her lips, looking up at Harry with her bright brown eyes as they sat beside the lake, Harry wondering what sort of sorry excuse Hermione would give Ron for what he had said when Hermione's words took him by surprise.
"Oh Harry, isn't it obvious?"
Harry could only stare back at her, head cocked slightly to the side and he was sure a look of utter surprise and confusion upon his face, no he was very sure that it wasn't obvious, or maybe Hermione was just trying to confuse him.
"Harry, he's jealous, now I know that Ron's you're best friend and all but you need to understand, he's coming from a family of seven other brothers so he's always pushed to the back and then he meets you and thinks that he'll get more friends but you seem to get everything thrown at you and Ron seems to come in second best again to everything and I guess this was just one step too far and he freaked out and got mad because once again you got something for nothing and Ron was pushed to the back of the line once again."
Harry jumped to his feet at these words, sending a few pigeons who had been idly walking along, fly in the opposite direction and a few people to stop what they were doing and stare, wondering what he was about to do.
"Oh that's right, stick up for Ron, if he wants to be famous so badly, why don't I curse something on his forehead and let him see how he feels, I didn't ask for my name to be put into that Goblet Hermione, I don't want eternal glory, I just want to be normal..."
"I know that Harry, you don't have to bite my head off about it and I'm not sticking up for anyone, I'm just stating what Ron is feeling" Hermione grabbed his arm and pulled him back down beside her, Harry stumbling for a few seconds as he tried to right himself and felt a slight blush cross his face as he realised how he had just snapped at Hermione again without even thinking about it, he guessed he was mostly just angry at Ron for the way he had been acting.
"Listen Harry I know you're worried about this tournament and what's to come but the most important we need to think about is who would put you're name into the Goblet of Fire who wished to do you harm, I mean no-one would have been able to do it under Dumbledore's nose unless they were really clever and had ways to bypass Dumbledore's age line so it must have been a teacher..."
Hermione took a deep breath here, Harry following her words every so often nodding and thinking about it himself, he had been wondering since last night who would have gone ahead and put his name into the goblet and at first had suspected maybe Karkaroff but from his vile and judgemental tone last night, he was sure it couldn't be, he just had to think harder and somehow find out who it could have been.
"...No one would be stupid enough to go against Dumbledore, but I think there is something that you really need to do and someone you need to talk to."
"If you say Ron, I'm gonna..." Harry started to retort but stopped at the glare from Hermione.
"I wasn't going to say anything about Ron at all, I was actually going to say Sirius, he'd wanted to know what's happening. You know I'm right Harry."
And with that, Hermione pulled herself up, grabbed her satchel and with a small smile to Harry, walked away up the front path leading to the front of Hogwarts to head to class whilst Harry sat in her absence, looking out over the black lake, thinking hard to himself, he knew he had to talk to Sirius, he just wasn't sure how.
A/N: And there you are guys, Chapter 2 is finished, I thought since it'd been a few weeks since I updated, I'd be nice and give you two chapters in one day since you seem to be loving the story already and I hope you enjoyed it once more, Chapter 3 will hopefully be up by next week at some point and I hope you enjoy reading this and just remember once again to leave me a little review of what you think and hope to see you again soon...
