Chapter 4 Questions and answer

After Harry had a good night's rest, he woke up wondering where he was. He remembered talking to Alexz and then he had questions about her. What was she doing here? Wait never mind her what was he doing here? He got out of bed and saw clothes laid out on a chair for him. There was a pair of black jeans with a Grey t-shirt, and also a pair of boxers, shoes, and some socks. He took the clothes and went into the bathroom to try to have a nice relaxing shower. He let the beads of water drop down his body, and right at that moment he thought he was feeling content, and then the face of Cedric Diggory came into his mind. He got so mad with himself that he punched the tiles in the shower, and he was positive he had broken his hand.

He thought back to the Dursleys, and he decided he needed to do some exercise. He got out of the shower and watched as the blood ran down into the drain and disappeared. He dried his body, off put on his boxers and did his push ups. He felt disgusted with himself. He kept thinking he should not be happy while Cedric is dead. 'I need to suffer, pay for what I have done to everyone.' Even with his broken hand, he got down his hands and knees and then began to do his push ups. His mind went back into zombie mode. He didn't notice that the blood was oozing from his wound, nor did he care.

After he was finished, he was like a robot getting dressed. He still had not notice the blood. He headed out of the room and down the stairs. He then followed the voices he heard. When he entered, everyone turned to look at him. It was then and only then that Harry noticed that he was covered in blood. Harry looked at his parents and saw his father trying to calm his mother. Then he looked at the four founders. They had natural faces. Then he looked at Alex and he was grateful he didn't see pity, disappointment, or any of the things he thought he would find. Instead, he found reassurance. She waved him over with a smile. He moved slowly over to the chair beside her. As soon as he sat down, Helga Hufflepuff rose from her chair gracefully and walked towards him. She took his hand and examined it, and then she lifted her own hand over his. His wound began to heal. When it was fully healed, Helga sat back down. Harry looked up and found everyone staring at him.

"Eh… Mmm I fell in the shower. I guess I cut my self and didn't notice." He turned his attention to Helga.

"Thank You for healing my hand."

She smiled at him as she accepted his 'thank you', and his mother cleared her throat and said, "You're a horrible liar, just like your father." She gave him a look that clearly said that this conversation was not over, that they would talk about it later.

Then Godric Gryffindor began to speak. "So Harry. I am sure you're wondering what's going on. Do ask all the questions you want."

There was silence at the table for a moment as Harry thought about what was going to be his first question.

"Where am I?" asked Harry.

"Ah, I was wondering when you are going to ask that question. Well Harry, we are in a place that no Muggles or wizards know about except those of us in this room. One thousand years ago, right before all of us, the founders of Hogwarts, died, we gathered, and with our last bit of magic we created this world. It is neither hell nor heaven, space nor earth. This is a world outside all the others. It is a universe all on its own. You can neither live nor die here."

"So what am I? Dead? Alive? What?" asked a very confused Harry?

"You are neither. Harry, this universe dose not go backwards or forward in time. You do not get younger or older here. Time stands still. Time dose not exist here." Harry did not speak for a while as he was trying to get his head around it, then he slowly began to speak.

"So… Time does not move, so when and if I go back to the Dursleys, it will be the same point in time and place. As if I hadn't left, like I was never gone?" asked Harry

"Yes that is correct Harry," replied Godric. Harry decided to ask another question.

"What am I doing here, then?" asked harry

"We have been watching you throughout your life, Harry. You have many different talents and have done many courageous and brave things. You have saved your friends from danger on more then one occasion. You saved the Philosopher's Stone, killed a basilisk, and cleared two men's name and reclaimed their innocence, all before your fourth year." After the last part, Harry bowed his head in shame, afraid to look at anyone in the eye, especially his parents. He was afraid of what they might think of him.

"Yea, I know in my fourth year I got someone murdered. I know you all think I'm just as bad as a murderer. God, you all probably hate me. God knows I hate myself." There was complete silence. Everyone was in shock. That was, until someone decided to speak out

"You really are an idiot, and a big one at that. No one hates you. Everyone sitting here thinks you are one of the bravest blokes to ever walk the face of the earth. Not everyone can say that they took on a dragon and did not die, went under water for an hour to rescue not just one, but two people they did not even know and nearly drowned. Then enter a maze where people were under the Imperious Curse trying to kill you, then mange to win the Tri Wizard Tournament. Then also, instead of giving up and hiding, a 14-year-old boy takes on a full-grown evil wizard while surrounded by Death Eaters. If you had not been there, Cedric's death would have meant nothing. You took his body back and helped his parents grieve for their murdered son. You also beat being under the Imperious Curse all at the bloody age of 14," finished Salazar Slytherin. There was a round of 'Hell yea's and 'here here' and one 'what the hell is everyone talking about, I'm so confused'

"But he…" begun Harry

"But nothing, Harry. There was nothing you could do about it. You cannot change what has been done, and I doubt that young Cedric would have the same thoughts and feelings as you on the subject at hand. Maybe you could talk to him at a later time about it, but for now, we will move on to the subject of why you are here." Harry was still kind of in awe, and shit scared that he might come face-to-face Cedric Diggory, the person that he had got killed. He just nodded his head in agreement.

"Ok Harry, pay attention, dear boy, this is very important and it will hopefully explain a lot. Many years ago, nearly 15 years ago, Hogwarts School was searching for a new divination professor and Albus was interviewing a very odd women, and that was a very odd interview. The interview was nearly coming to an end, when this women began to change. Her eyes became glassed over her, body became rigid and stiff. When she began to speak, her voice was different to her own, like the voice that was coming out of her mouth didn't belong to her but someone else anyway she said.

"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark lord approaches… born to those who have trice defied him, born as the seventh month dies… and the Dark lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have the power the Dark Lord knows not… and either must die at the hand of another for neither can live while the other survives… the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be Born as the seventh month dies"

It is a prophecy made about the one who would kill the dark lord. When she was finished talking she did come out of her trance and she did not remember anything she had said in the last few minutes, which included anything she said about the prophecy and with that Albus and the new professor Trelawney, professor of Hogwarts school of witch craft and wizardry didn't know was that outside the door, crouched down eavesdropping on there coversation was Severus Snape and he then returned to his master, at the time and told him everything that he had heard of the prophecy.

It was then found out then the prophecy could only mean two people and those two people were no older then one years old. The Longbottoms and the Potters, Albus went to both families and told them to go into hiding. But what they didn't know was that Tom already know about the prophecy and then one night, Halloween night, Tom made a decision and went to the Potter home. He entered the home after Peter had betrayed you and your family, Tom came after you and marked you as his equal and you know the rest harry" Harry touched his scar at the part of 'marking him as Toms equal' and all four founders nodded their head to answer the silent question.

There was silence for a long time while Harry absorbed all of this and then he finally spoke "So I have to kill vold... Tom or he kills me, that's it, one or the other? So what, am I here to learn to kill someone?"

This time it was his father who answered him, he got up and walked towards his son. He crouched down beside him, gripped his head and turned it to look at him and said "No son we are going to teach to save billions of life's." There was silence. Harry was looking at his father and then jumped forward to his father's arms and hugged him.

Then Harry heard Alexz say "What a line such a moving line don't you think? The first thing that comes out of his mouth" Harry just had to smile at that, the most inappropriate thing at an emotional moment. Then he felt his mother wrap her arms around him, he could hear the others leave so that the small family could have some proper time together. They sat and talked about everything the family went through, nearly every emotion there is.

After all that harry had just one more question. "Hey dad" said Harry after James had finished telling a story about the olden days.

"Yes son what's up?"

"why is Alexz here?"

"Well this is a complicated story, well Alexz arrived just about a week ago in your time. Alexz is about 10 months younger then you. When Sirius told me he was going to be a dad, I was over joyed for him when she was born, he was over the moon. He swore that she would never date a boy till she was over 45 and the guy would be nothing like he was. This was his little girl but then, when his wife was killed by Peter; Bellatrix and Malfoy who were also involved in Sarah's death. He was ready to kill Peter especially after he had heard that he was the reason we had died and then, Sirius was locked away and Snape was in no position to mind a four month old baby. She had no family and Moony couldn't take care of her cause of his "Furry little problem." So she went into muggle care, what happened there is something that made her as strong as she is now. But that's her story to tell. She is nice isn't she. You can see a bit of Sirius, well actually a lot of Sirius in her and she has her mother's gentle and caring side. She also has her mother's beauty and her father's smile and mischief and she has brains like her uncle." Said James and he then continued to explain why the girl in question was present "Well she is here to help you in the war, be your Batman to Robin, right that's the saying, isn't it?" said James with a huge smile on his face for getting a muggle saying right.

"Yea dad that's it" even though it didn't really mater, Harry didn't give shit, he had his mum and dad back and that's all that matters. He was a family, just like the Weasley's. How he missed Ginny's smile, she is so beautiful- wait stop where the hell did that come from?.
