Meanwhile, within the castle of Hogwarts, as the Heads of Houses informed their students to stay in their towers, the Dead that have come to Life sat in the Great Hall, confused thoughts marring each and every one of them. Low hushes of conversations could be heard from all around the room.

No one was willing to stand up and ask questions, it seemed. The three teachers standing up front stood stiffly as their eyes repeatedly scanned the room, watching the inhabitants and making sure none of them did anything… curious to which would lead them to believe that they are threats.

The three teachers appeared not afraid, but on the inside they felt confused and lost as they gazed at faces they knew in the past, or knew of. Some of them they witnessed dying and, as Professor Jordan came across the familiar face of Cedric Diggory, some of them they have come to know in the very past.

But what surprised the three teachers- Professor Lee Jordan of charms, Professor Rubeus Hagrid of Care of Magical Creaturs, and Professor Neville Longbottom of Herbology- the most were the faces of people they used to care deeply about.

For Professor Jordan, it came as quite a shock to him when his scanning eyes came to a stop at the Gryffindor table, where he could see the very face he committed to memory all those years ago – Fred Weasley. A heavy pang hit his chest as he noted that Fred had a large smile on his face as he conversed with two other red-heads Lee could identify as his uncles, the Prewitt twins.

For Professor Hagrid, it was the faces of his favorite friends from back when he was only the groundskeeper of Hogwarts. Tears sprang to his eyes as he examined the faces of James and Lily Potter, as well as Sirius Black and Remus Lupin, along with his wife, Nymphadora Tonks. They all sat in a tight-nit group at the very end of the Gryffindor table, however they all sat in complete silence. The Potters had grim looks on their faces as Lily leaned on her husband, as if wanting him to support her up. Sirius Black sat next to the best friend he lost all those years ago, and Hagrid could see that he was clutching James' hand very tightly in his own. Remus and Tonks sat directly in front of the three. Remus was holding onto Tonks' hand gently, and every now and then, they would exchange looks.

Not only that, but the half giant noticed a familiar face he had despised for so long. A face he never wished to see again, and a face that tempted him to march forward and connect his fist to. It was the face of one Peter Pettigrew, the initial cause of almost every thing in the past.

He sat along, on the very corner of the room, and looked around apprehensively. Hagrid also noted that everyone seemed to keep away from the man, only glaring at him with hatred from afar. Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and James Potter, Hagrid saw with a pinch of pride swelling in his chest, seemed to be ignoring his very existence. It was as though they didn't care of what he's done, despite the fact that he was the cause of James and Lily's death, the cause of Sirius's imprisonment, and the cause of Lord Voldemort coming back to life all those years ago. Hagrid shuddered with disdain and turned away, choosing to do what the 3 boys were doing and act as though Pettigrew didn't even exist.

And lastly, for Professor Longbottom, it was the sight of his parents. The very parents he lost when he was only a year old. He never thought he'd ever see them, and when he found them sitting alone on the Hufflepuff table, his breath caught in his throat. He couldn't take his eyes off of them, except for when he swept them around the room quickly and then returned to staring at his parents again.

All three of them broke out of their thoughts when the large Great Hall doors flew open. The whispered chats ceased and all turned to the doors, where Headmistress McGonagall then proceeded to enter, followed by over 60 Aurors, and leading them was the one and only Harry Potter.

It was quite confusing for Lily Evans when she woke up on Hogwarts grounds. In fact, it was very confusing, as her last memory was in her home in Godrics Hollow, not in Hogwarts.

And she could also recall, quite clearly, that she died.

However, when she woke up and found over one hundred people as confused as her, she knew something must be off. She quickly found her husband, James, and together they entered the doors of Hogwarts, followed by so many more people.

And as they all assembled in the Great Hall, and were ordered to be silent by the three teachers up front, she knew her assumption was correct.

What confused her even further, however, were the tight hugs that Sirius and Remus gave them, and the tears they cried when they all sought each other out.

It wasn't long after that when they sat on the Gryffindor table and Sirius and Remus gave them a quick overview of what they remembered. They told the Potters of Harry, and his story during his school years when they both met him. When Sirius paused during his explanation of Harry's fifth year, and exclaimed that he couldn't remember anything after that, Remus told them what happened in the Department of Mysteries, and continued on with the story which ended with his memory of the Battle of Hogwarts and his death.

It didn't take long for them to all conclude that they died, and were returned to life. However, they were all confused as to how that happened. They didn't even know it was possible.

And now, there they sat, on the Gryffindor table in complete silence.

Lily took comfort in her husbands arms, and as she felt them wrap tightly around her body, she couldn't stop the feeling that something was about to happen. Something that would surprise her to no end. And she didn't know whether that feeling was a good one or not.

She glanced up at James and immediately, worry seeped through her body. He had an unreadable look on his face, and she also noted that his lips were tightly closed together and her brow was furrowed low. She reached her hand up and lightly touched his face, bringing him out of his thoughts. "James, honey, are you okay?" She whispered.

His lips parted into a small, gentle smile, "No, I'm not" He answered truthfully. "What Remus and Sirius told us was too much information for me to handle at the moment, I think" He told her, swallowing the lump that was forming in his throat.

Lily didn't know how to reply to that because, in truth, she felt the exact same way. She couldn't believe her Harry grew up like that. The way Sirius and Remus explained his story made him seem as though he never got the chance to actually be a child. It was as though he immediately skipped that stage, and went to being a mature adult with a lot of responsibility on his shoulders.

She never wanted that life for him. She wanted him to have a loving family and great friends. She wanted him to feel spoiled and loved, not to be abused and forbidden from acting his age.

Her thoughts, however, were interrupted from a loud disturbance to her left.

All five of them, James, Lily, Sirius, Remus and Tonks, turned to the doors of the Great Hall as they flew open, revealing Professor – or as they were informed earlier, Headmistress – McGonagall enter, with a large group of people they could all identify by the robes they were wearing as Aurors following behind.

Yet, what caught the eyes of the five of them was the familiar face that was leading the group to the front of the room. Lily's breath caught in her throat as she gazed at the face of which she knew as her son – he looked exactly like his father after all. The father, James, stared at his son with a look of awe on his face, which quickly turned to loving and tender. This was his son; this grown up, matured man was his son.

He stood at the very front of the group, next to a man only Remus, Sirius and Nymphadora knew to be Ron Weasley, and looked over everyone before him. They all noticed his eyes flash in their direction many times as he scanned the crowd silently. He looked like a fearless leader off to war, and his serious face only showed to the fact that he was, in fact, very serious.

And, although there was not a shadow of a doubt in any of their minds that this was, in fact, the only son of Lily and James Potter, the man's first words as the large group of Aurors reached the front only confirmed their assumptions;

"I am Harry Potter, Head Auror of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. You will do as I say, and you will not disobey me. If I, or any of the Aurors standing behind me, believe you are a threat, you will be disposed of immediately. We will not hesitate to take you down. This situation is serious. Every single one of you were dead up until very early this morning, and this brings many questions to every one of us. My Aurors and I will be questioning all of you until we decide whether we believe you are the person you say you are. You will also be given the Veritaserum potion - also known as the truth serum - so that we could know whether you are lying or not. Believe me, if you are a threat, and you were planning on causing some trouble, you will not get away from this. As I have said, this is serious. Very serious."

Lily and James Potter watched as their son, the leader of Aurors, the respectful man that is looked up to by every person in England, demanded authority. They watched as he covered every aspect of this situation, and they watched as he took complete control.

And they couldn't be any prouder than they were at that moment.

A/N: So, three days ago, guess what I watched? HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS! And I absolutely loved it. You have no idea how happy I was when I left the theater, and I felt as though they couldnt have done better than that. I am so proud, and so happy. They did an amazing job, and I cant wait to watch part 2! As a matter of fact, I'm going to watch it tomorrow for the second time, and the day after for the third time. SO EXCITED! I wanted to write this chapter the night I watched the movie, but I was still too excited that I couldnt. And the days following that, I was busy with an english project. So what better time to write this chapter out than early on a sunday morning? As in, 3:00 am early. xD

I'm so sorry it took me a week – a little of that, I know- to update you guys, but I've been swamped with work from school.

I'm not too happy about this chapter, but it will do because I need to get this, and the next few chapters, over with so that I can get to the actually story. I'm sorry if you're not happy either, but oh well.

Anyway, I would LOVE to state and THANK every reviewer's name, as well as the people who favorite and alerted this story, but I'm too exhausted to do so. It is 3 AM where I live, and I desperately need to sleep before I combust.

I'm sorry if you find any mistakes, but I was half asleep when I wrote this, and I still AM half asleep.

Also, I am ALSO sorry for the way I rushed the part where Lily is describing everything from her perspective. As I have said, I am quite disappointed with this chapter.

I am quite surprised that I have that many reviews and favorites. I didn't think my story would catch that much attention. THANK YOU.

Despite the fact that I didn't like this chapter much, I hope you enjoy it to your fullest and please please PLEASE review! Especially all of you out there who only favorite and alert. Id really really REALLY like to know your true thoughts (:

Sorry for rambling, I know many of you hate long A/U's but I tend to ramble when I'm tired xD
