The next thing Zuko knew, it was morning, and he awoke with a start. Looking around him realizing he was still in the hospital wing, Madame Pomfrey approached hastily. "You're free to go today! As long as that bump on your head is gone." Zuko rubbed the back of his neck, not feeling a lump, Madame Pomfrey released him. He walked through hall, after hall, not finding the person he was looking for.

So I DID dream the whole thing…surprise, surprise, did I really expect my mother to show up suddenly after four years of absence. Finally Zuko made it back to the bender dorms. Where Katara, Sokka, Toph, and Aang all greeted him.

Katara flying into his arms. "You're ok!" she exclaimed. Zuko embraced Katara, happy that at least he wasn't totally alone. "Of course I'm ok, just a little bump to the head is all…had the weirdest dream last night."

Katara pulled away, looking at him concerned. "Really, what about?" Zuko scratched his head not sure how to explain, or where to start. "I had this dream, that my mother came to me in the hospital wing and she was here to stay…of course I dreamed the whole thing…I haven't seen my mother since she was banished…four years ago."

Suddenly Zuko realized that everyone was grinning at him, he felt a little offended by that. "What are you all grinning at? It wasn't a happy story." Katara was beside herself with joy when she explained.

"Zuko, it wasn't a dream at all! Your mother really IS here! Oh and Zuko she's had such wonderful stories to share about you!" "She is quite a charming young lady; I think I finally understand where that soft side of yours comes from." Sokka added. "She really is a wonderful woman Zuko." Aang chimed in. "Alright everyone stop confusing "sifu hotmaster"." Toph exclaimed, using Aang's nickname for Zuko.

"Really, it's bad enough I spent the night in the hospital wing having crazy hallucinations but then when you guys…" suddenly Zuko saw his mother coming down the stairs, he flings himself at her, Ursa embraces him tightly. "Mom! You really ARE here!" "As I said, I'm not leaving again." Ursa replied.

Katara and the rest of the gang had never seen Zuko so ecstatic. "HEY! Today is uncle's lesson! Mother you must come see uncle! He's teaching a class here, it's first on our schedule today!" the next thing anyone knows Zuko is dragging Ursa down the halls of Hogwarts to Iroh's lighting control class.

When Iroh first saw Ursa walk through the door, he was on the verge of doing the same thing Zuko had done, but was able to compose himself at the last minute. "Ursa! What are you doing here? I haven't seen you in four years!" "I'm back Iroh! I was banished from the fire nation four years ago, I'm pretty sure you know the story, Iroh I'm so sorry for what I did but Azulon, he was going to make Ozai kill Zuko! I couldn't let…."

Iroh interrupted "My dear sister in law, I do not blame you for what happened that fateful night four years ago, had I been in the same situation I probably would've done the same thing, and I'm glad you did it, raising Zuko, it's as if I had my own son back, don't get me wrong the pain is still there, but Zuko brought much joy to my life."

As he was saying all this he first embraced Ursa, and then walked to Zuko embracing him as well. "And as you can see he's grown into quite the young man, he might have got lost along the way, but look at him now!"

Ursa was beside herself, tears were streaming down her cheeks she embraced Iroh vigorously. "Thank you Iroh! For all you've done for Zuko, and for raising him for me when I wasn't there to." "It was not a problem Ursa, I've much enjoyed the years I've had with him."

"Yea, he might've been a pain in our side for the longest time, but now he's probably the best fire teacher we've been able to find, without him Aang would still be far from becoming a full avatar." Toph stated punching Zuko in the shoulder, her signature way of showing friendship or appreciation.

Zuko was the one crying now, he had been wrong for so long, all those years he sought his father's honor, he'd had people who loved him all along, even if he couldn't see them.

"I don't deserve, any of this, I've done so many wrong things." "But Zuko, you've done so many honorable things too, you can't always blame yourself for the wrong." Ursa replied embracing Zuko in a hug.

"I'm just glad you came back, and you too uncle!" "I'm glad to be back!" Iroh responded cheerfully, looking at the time. "My my! Look at the time, it's almost time for class, students should be arriving soon, Ursa are you staying to watch?" Iroh asked. "Of course! I must see how much better my Zu Zu's firebending has gotten since I left."

"Mo-om." Zuko mumbled under his breath. He always felt weird when people used Azula's pet name for him. Though he couldn't help but hide a grin. Everyone laughed as the kids started filling in for class, and it wasn't long before they recognized Ursa either.

They think she's betrayed the fire nation too! Zuko thought to himself. Something tells me this is gonna be a loooong hour.

MEANWHILE

Harry was sleeping in, he didn't mean to, but he was having another one of those dreams, a flight of steel ships, with an emblem of a flame on the side, were invading the lake surrounding Hogwarts. How did they get here? Harry wondered. Suddenly his scar started to burn, as he heard a voice, the voice of a king; ring out from one of the front ships in the fleet.

"I AM FIRE LORD OZAI OF THE FIRE NATION, SEEKING TO DESTROY THE AVATAR AND RULE OVER THE OTHER THREE NATIONS, AN INSIDER TELLS ME THAT I CAN FIND, NOT ONLY THE AVATAR, BUT HIS GANG, AND MY SON, ZUKO, HERE AT THIS SCHOOL, SURRENDER THEM IMMEDIATELY AND NO HARM SHALL COME TO THIS SCHOOL…REFUSE…AND YOU SHALL SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES."

Harry's scar burned even more when he saw Voldemort come and take his place on Ozai's right hand…this was bad, harry knew it was bad, he assumed the voice that was speaking earlier was Zuko's power hungry father.

"HARRY!" Harry snapped awake, again it was Hermione who had woken him. "Harry, are you ok? You were thrashing in your sleep again!" for a while harry didn't answer as the events of his dream played out again in his mind.

"Harry?" Hermione asked again, worriedly. "Get McGonagall, find Aang and his friends…he's coming!" "Who? Who's coming?" Harry paused. "Harry?" Hermione pressed seriously. "Voldemort, and Zuko's father, they're coming here! Judging by my dream, they'll be here sometime before nightfall…we need to be ready!" Hermione nodded her head as she went to find Aang and his friends.

Harry quickly got out of bed, got dressed, and went towards the transfiguration room, he didn't have transfiguration anymore, but he needed to talk to McGonagall.
