Living in the Past

Chapter 4:

The child sitting at his accompanied bed was berating with lots of thoughts in his mind. It had been his longest stay in the hospital compared to the other stays. But, then in the past he was not killed and re-lived. A week had passed since his REST in St. Mungos. During this stay, he was put in potion induced-sleep most of the time for his magic and soul restoration due to the war and time-travel. He hadn't known that getting de-aged was so much painful.

Yes, he had not only rejoined the living of world but also got de-aged. Once again, he had proven to himself that what a freak he was. The boy-who-is-anything-but-normal was now once again 12.

His TALK with 'fate' was still running in the raven-haired mind. And the boy-who-became-child-again was wondering where his parents could be? Healer Bushbee had told him that it was now 1975. That means his father would be 14 years old, that means a year older than him.

"Hello child!", an unknown female startled the boy from his thoughts. Looking out for the source through his framed glasses, he viewed an aged but beautiful lady who was standing right next to his bed. Somehow she was reminding him of someone, not looking so foreign. Next to her was a male wizard standing resting his hand on the fine lady's waist. They would be a couple.

"Hello, Madam... sir!", the only child answered politely nodding to each one respectfully while greeting. His polite yet respectful greetings bring some spark in their eyes with fondness? The witch's eyes were very motherly , while wizard's aura shows strictness but love at the same time. And by the expression of the couple, the raven saw proudness for himsef.

"How are you feeling?", the male wizard asked whose voice was known to him somehow.

"I am fine, thank you sir"

"My name is Healer Charlus Potter and this is my wife Dorea. I had met you once when you was unconscious..."

'What! My grandparents? That's why they felt so familiar...'

"Ok..."

"Do you remember something? Anything? Your name?". The male healer continues his conversation.

'I can't tell them that I am their future grandson. I don't know what error will occur if I changed the time-line. And anyway! They probably won't believe me. So I should play along, acting like some injured child who loses his parents.'

So arranging his face into a frightful cry and making the puppy-dog expression, the boy-who-lived started to act:

"No! I can't remember anything. Sir, will you please help me to find my parents?"

"Oh poor child! We will help you. Don't be afraid", his grandmother replied desperately and started to stroke the injured boy's hair and continues her conservation, "Since, your parents had not yet approached, we wanted to offer you our house."

The witch's face was so affectionate that it brings a huge lump in his throat. These were those people who he had never seen and had never known about their affection love.

"Sweetheart...?"

"Huhhh...?"

"It's ok, honey. If you don't wanted to live with us you can say so. We will help you to find your parents, anyhow. ", The motherly figure says by sharing a concerning look with her husband. For that, she was thinking the child was feeling disheartened by believing that he will never will be able to meet his parents.

"No. I mean... I wanted to live with you. I accept you offer... Hmmm. Thanks."

"Ok then, we will arrange for your discharge till tomorrow. Take care, child!" The male wizard said after squeezing the child's shoulder fatherly. The healer's wife who was gently stroking his hairs, kissed at his forehead and then both wizards leaves.

End notes:

As the majority of you wanted to make Harry younger so I had made James a year older than him. My semester had not yet finished and I am lacking some inspirations. So, please give me some ideas or any prank that you will like to play Harry or James with.

Also, I had not decided that what should I name him...?

Any prank you had in mind, pm me...

Any idea for the story-line, tell me...

Any critique, say it to me...
