Chapter 4

"Hello!" A tall boy with long black hair bellowed as he took long strides across the room that ended at Elizabeth's bedside.

"Sirius Black, do not yell in my hospital wing! I'll have to remove you if you can't respect my rules!" Madame Pomfrey said from her office door. She hurried over to Elizabeth's bedside. "How are you feeling dear?"

"I'm feeling fine, just a little dizzy." Elizabeth said.

"Yes, that is to be expected. Now, visitors only for ten minutes, then these two need their rest, especially you, dear."

"Yes Madame Pomfrey," rang a chorus of voices from around the room.

"Good, now I'll leave you to yourselves, and I'll be back in ten minutes, no more than that!" She said and once again disappeared into her office.

After a moment of silence, a red headed girl stepped forward and held her hand out to Elizabeth. "I'm Lily Evans, Head Girl. It's very nice to meet you."

"I'm Elizabeth Ri-Turner. Elizabeth Turner. It's very nice to meet you."

"I'm Sirius," he held his hand out for her to shake, and as she grasped it he moved it to his lips. "Anything you could possibly need, anything at all, I'm here, love."

Elizabeth smiled slightly and nodded. "I'll keep that in mind."

"I'm James Potter." Harry and James made eye contact, and silence descended on the room; it appeared no one had noticed Harry before. Now that they had, everyone was shocked at how similar he and James looked.

"Moony, is it just me or am I seeing double?" Sirius stepped next to a skinny boy with light brown hair.

"I don't think it's just you, Sirius." The boy said.

James and Harry stood starring at each other

"I'm Harry White." Harry said softly, his eyes not leaving James's face.

"And I'm Sirius Black! We match mate!"

Lily rolled her eyes, and looked back at Harry. "You look awfully similar to James, Harry." Lily's eyes locked on Harry's identical ones.

Elizabeth sensed the need to step in. "It's a strange coincidence isn't it?" She laughed nervously. "And who are you two?" She gestured to the boy Sirius was standing next to and the last boy.

"I'm Remus Lupin, and this is Peter Pettigrew." Remus introduced himself and the very round boy, who raised his hand and waved shyly.

Elizabeth looked up at Harry, whose eyes had left James and was now glaring at Peter. She reached up and took his hand, gently tugging. He looked down at her and his eyes softened. She smiled slightly.

"Where are you two from?" Remus asked, and Harry and Elizabeth abruptly looked away from each other.

"America, we're both from America. Harry was originally in England but decided to go to school in America for a few years, and now he's back. I just came with him." Elizabeth said after a slight pause. They hadn't exactly rehearsed this part with Dumbledore.

"I see. And what year are you in?" Remus said, although he didn't seem satisfied with Elizabeth's answer.

"We're in seventh year, both in Gryffindor." Harry spoke up.

"We're all in Gryffindor as well!" Sirius exclaimed and Lily rolled her eyes again.

"Well, I guess that means we'll be seeing you all around quite a bit then." Elizabeth smiled.

"When you both are released from this prison, we'd all love to show you around a bit and help you get to know the place better." James said.

"That would be wonderful, thank you." Elizabeth said, and before she could say anything else, Madam Pomfrey bustled into the room and shooed the five visitors out.

Harry sat down heavily on Elizabeth's bed once everyone had left. "That was overwhelming."

Elizabeth scooted over a little more and Harry climbed up into the bed with her. "So those were your parents?" She asked quietly.

"Yep, Sirius is also my Godfather." Harry rolled on this side and propped his head on his hand.

"It's wonderful that you're going to get to know them." Elizabeth looked up at him.

"It is," Harry paused. "I'm sorry that your parents aren't here."

"It's fine, really. It's probably better this way." Harry didn't say anything to this because he didn't want to have to agree with her. "Harry?"

"Hmm?"

"Is it strange that I feel so comfortable with you after I have only known you for a few days?" She stared at him with unguarded eyes.

"Is it strange that I feel the same way?" He whispered and leaned down to kiss her.

Elizabeth moved away abruptly. "Even though we are twenty years in the past, you still have a girlfriend, Harry."

Harry smiled sadly. "Is it any comfort to know that after our talk I was going to break up with her?"

Elizabeth sat up in the bed. "Actually it's not. I told you not to make a rash decision."

"I thought about it a lot, and I decided that it wasn't working between me and her anyway, regardless of if you had come into the picture." Harry sat up as well.

"You thought about it in the whole two hours after it happened?" She raised her eyebrows and smirked slightly at him.

"Yes, and I thought about it hard."

"Obviously." Elizabeth said sarcastically. "But, I still think we should wait until you've officially broken it off with her. I don't want to come in between your friendships."

"So you've said." Harry leaned down and kissed her lightly on the forehead. "Until then, we'll pretend like nothing happened." He got up and returned to his own hospital bed.

"Yes, we will." Elizabeth said softly, and laid back against her pillows, and promptly fell asleep.
