At nine that evening a group of people knocked on Fred's door, "Who is it?"

Harry said, "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good."

Fred opened the door and stepped out, "This way." He led them to the lab and when all entered he said, "This lab's location is a secret make sure it stays that way."

Sirius watched the old man and said, "Uncle Fred, I thought you were supposed to be a crazy old coot?"

Fred said, "Just an image I push, you wouldn't believe what people say when I'm around. They don't think I'm coherent so they don't watch themselves, comes in very handy. Tomas, you need to watch Fudge and Walburton, they're planning a hostile takeover, Newbaker and Norwich will back you."

Tomas said, "Thanks, I have been suspecting something from them but not that, I'll take steps."

The woman that Harry guessed to be the Headmistress stepped up to Fred, "Fred, nice to see you again, it's been a while."

Fred hugged her, "Minnie, it's so good to see you."

She then introduced herself to Jane and Harry, "Hello, I'm Penelope MacDougal, Headmistress at Hogwarts."

Jane said, "Healer Jane Johnson and my cousin Harry Potter."

Penelope said, "My word any relation to the original one?"

Harry smiled, "That's what we brought you here to talk about. Ron and Fred both said you're trustworthy, but I still require an unbreakable vow for this information. For me this is life or death."

Each person made the vow promising to keep secret the location of the lab and any information that is divulged in this meeting talking only amongst the core group was allowed as long as you were in a safe location.

Ron started, "Mum, Dad I'm sorry but we haven't been truthful in everything we have told you about Harry. First of all he isn't Jane's cousin. The day we found Harry the three of us were exploring in the old Godric's Hollow. We were looking at grave markers and heard a yell and a crash. We ran to the source of the noise and found Harry lying on the ground. Jane and Ginny rushed him to St. Mungo's while I returned in my car."

Jane said, "We nearly lost him. He had heavy blood loss, multiple lacerations, and a nasty head wound. Yet he was only in the Hospital for a little over twenty four hours. He healed extraordinarily fast. But he had very little memory. We used legilimency to find a name and couldn't. Knowing how badly the ministry is treating strangers we decided to give him a name. He said he kept hearing part of a name in his head but all he could make out was potter. Ginny decided to call him Harry."

Ginny said, "The only thing he could remember was waiting in a white room for his turn to go. He had a job to do and people to meet but no idea what job or people it was. And no wand."

Harry said, "They wanted to make a cover story with Jane as my cousin to protect me. I told them I was an orphan raised by my muggle Aunt and Uncle, and I went to Hogwarts. I didn't exactly have a memory of it but I knew it was the truth."

Ron said, "We kept the orphan but changed his Aunt and Uncle to magical people. We added the abuse because he said his Uncle hated him and he had to have an excuse for dropping down in the middle of nowhere."

Harry said, "Then they told me I didn't go to Hogwarts, because Ginny and her brothers had been there and didn't know me. I was shocked by that and the fact that they didn't use the Express anymore."

Penelope said, "We haven't used that train for two hundred years."

Ron said, "And he told us he had been attacked by Dementors in his third year."

Tomas said, "So you're from two hundred years in the past?"

Ginny said, "If only it was so easy. He's from the past but ..."

Harry said, "Honestly I didn't really understand what was happening until a few nights ago when all my memories came back. My name is Harry Potter, I was born July 31st, 1980, I died in 2180. I have been sent back to do a job that apparently no one else can do. Fred, Ron, Jane and Ginny are also from the past, Fred is the only other with memories. They were born and raised here I was the only one dropped in."

Penelope was the first to respond, "Do you have any proof?"

Harry said, "Only my memories. Like for instance I gave Fred and George Weasley the startup capital for Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes. I was a silent partner until my death."

Tomas, Merry and Dean all gasp. Sirius and Penelope looked at them questioningly and Tomas said, "Welcome back Harry."

Sirius asked, "How does that convince you?"

Tomas said, "That's a family secret. To be passed down only to family bearing the name Weasley and only upon their employment in the company on a full time development or higher level basis."

Sirius said to Ron and Ginny, "You two don't look shocked by this."

Ron said, "Ginny and I have been employed for years on the research team. Part of our work consists of finding things people want and testing new products. How else do you think WWW's always came up with whatever we needed for a prank."

Sirius said, "I thought we were naturally brilliant coming up with ideas just before WWW's came out with them."

Harry said, "Sirius are you by any chance an animagus?" Sirius looked shocked, Harry said, "Are you a big, black dog?"

Sirius asked, "How did you know?"

Harry said, "I think previously you were my Godfather Sirius Black, Marauder, and dog animagus. You're old nickname was Padfoot."

Ron said, "As in Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs?"

Fred said, "You found the map, congratulations."

Sirius said, "Oh the password… who were the others?

Harry said, "My Dad, James Potter was Prongs, he was a stag animagus, Moony was Remus Lupin, ancestor of yours, he was a werewolf. Wormtail was a rat and a traitor, he's the reason my parents were killed."

Sirius said, "Ron and I have two other friends, Remus Wood and James Bridge. Remus is an animagus wolf and James is a stag do you think they may also be from the past?"

Harry said, "Possible, are you all registered?"

Sirius said, "Yes, it was a seventh year project."

Harry asked, "What's your form Ron are you still a red hawk?"

Ron grinned, "Yes."

Harry said, "You were an excellent spy for the Aurors. Fly in scout the area and report back. We never went into anything blind."

Penelope said, "Ok, if I were to believe this, what is the job you've been sent back to do?"

Harry said, "My best guess is to stop the Dark Cloaks and their leader."

Sirius said, "Are you him then? The prophecy that Minister Browning's wife made says something about the defender returning."

Ron said, "Do you know the exact wording?"

Sirius said, "No but I should be able to get it."

Harry said, "It's not life or death. We'll be fine with or without it."

Penelope asked, "So you all believe him?" Everyone nodded and she said, "The only people who you don't think have comeback are Tomas and myself. So why am I here?"

Harry said, "We are fairly sure Tomas is a new entity. But you, Fred thinks you were our Transfiguration Professor, animagus cat and head of house. If he's right your previous life was as Minerva McGonagall. When we left school we sort of adopted you into the family and started calling you Aunt Minnie."

Penelope turned to Fred, "You've been calling me Minnie since..."

Fred smiled, "I received my past memories in the accident that took George. I've been expecting Harry ever since those Dark Cloaks showed up."

Penelope said, "Fine, I'm in, what are we going to do now?"

Harry said, "I need to get into school first."

Fred said, "The history books say you were the DADA professor for fifteen years and then the Headmaster for another forty years after that. Why do you need to go to school?"

Harry said, "I do need to know any developments in the last couple hundred years. Plus looking to the future if I get to stay I'm going to need NEWT's to get a job. And we should probably restart the DA, under a different name of course."

Fred said, "Whatever, I think you just want to spend time with Ginny."

Harry grinned, "That's the main reason for me, the others are necessary though."

Sirius asked, "If I was your Godfather and Professor MacDougal is your old teacher, who were Ron, Jane and Ginny?"

Harry said, "Ron and Hermione were my two best friends, we did practically everything together, including fighting in the war."

Jane said, "My first name is Hermione but I hate it so I go by my middle name."

Tomas asked, "And Ginny?"

Harry said, "My wife, my life, my soul mate Ginerva Molly Weasley Potter."

Tomas said, "What?"

Ginny said, "Relax Dad, we aren't married in this life yet."

Tomas said, "Yet?"

Ginny said, "We'll wait until after we finish school."

Tomas said, "But you've just met him."

Ginny said, "I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever that we will be married."

Harry and Ginny were smiling at each other when Merry said, "Wow, I just had a sense of Déjà vu. That was weird."

Tomas said, "What caused it?"

Merry said, "When Harry and Ginny looked at each other after she said they would be married."

Jane said, "Me too, only I had a flash of memory of them in old fashioned dress robes."

Harry said, "Your memories may return. Mine started with feelings and glimpses like that. Jane you may need to stock more of that potion to have on hand just in case."

Penelope said, "Tomorrow I have scheduled you to come to Hogwarts for your OWLs. Ginny will you bring him with you. I want to chat with you while he tests. And you can accompany him on breaks."

Ginny agreed and the group broke up and headed home. At the door Harry stopped Merry and Tomas, "If you don't want me to stay in the house anymore I understand. I could find another place."

Tomas said, "I'm just a bit… worried about you and Ginny and the talk of marriage… I'm a bit uncomfortable but I don't think you need to leave. Just behave yourself."

Harry said, "I can do that."

Tomas turned to Ginny, "Can you?"

Ginny grinned, "I'll do my best."

Tomas glared, "You better or I will ask him to leave."

Ginny grimaced, while Harry chuckled. She turned and stuck her tongue out and he laughed out loud. The next morning Ginny and Harry left for Hogsmeade. Harry looked around at the changed buildings and said, "It doesn't look at all the same. WWW took the spot where the three broomsticks used to be."

Ginny said, "Some fifty years ago they had a massive blizzard up here. They evacuated Hogsmeade residence into the school through the floo. Some got out before the storm hit and stayed with relatives until they could dig out. Most of the buildings collapsed because of the snow and ice. Hogwarts was only saved because the Headmaster was a quick thinker and he set up some kind of protection."

Harry nodded and they continued to chat as they approached the school. When he got close enough he stopped and took a deep breath, "Now this is familiar." They were met at the gates by Professor MacDougal and she took Harry to the Great Hall.

Harry looked up at the ceiling, "Thank goodness some things stay the same."

Ginny said, "Good luck, see you after bit."

Harry walked in and started his OWL's while Ginny continued up to the Headmistress's office. They sat in comfy chairs and Penelope said, "His picture is over here. He's been asleep for the last week and I can do nothing to rouse him."

Ginny walked over and touched the picture, he was even handsome when he was old. She gently stroked the frame and he moved a bit.

When he open his eyes they were the same beautiful green that she loved, he said, "I can't wake now love. As long as I'm here I can't be here." He promptly went back to his sleeping state.

Penelope said, "Well now, that was interesting. I hadn't thought to touch the frame. But I guess that confirms it. I had been worried about his portrait. I loved talking to him, he is brilliant really."

Ginny smiled and sat back down, "What did you want to talk to me about?"

Penelope said, "Quidditch and head girl."

Ginny said, "Really?"

Penelope said, "Yes, you are the only returning member of the Gryffindor team. So you will be captain your head of house has already confirmed it. Now do you want to be Head Girl?"

Ginny said, "But… But I wasn't a prefect."

Penelope said, "You don't have to be. Now your schedule is going to be full just with quidditch but if you want Head duties too you have them."

Ginny smiled, "Oh, no I don't think I want that, thank you. Uncle Fred would be highly disappointed if I made Head. Besides between Harry, studying and Quidditch I think my time will be gone."

Penelope smile and said, "I thought you would say that but I wanted you to know that you were my first choice."

Ginny said, "Thanks, who is the next choice?"

Penelope said, "Your friend Ms. Carlyle. I think she would be a good second choice."

Ginny said, "Please don't tell anyone she was second choice."

Penelope said, "I never do dear. I have only gotten my choice Head boy or girl a few times. I always give them the chance to say no. I'll be calling on Ms. Carlyle later this week. Now tell me about Mr. Potter."

At the end of the day Harry and Ginny were sitting at the Gryffindor table eating. Professor MacDougal came up and said, "Well Harry you received O's on all your OWLs. No surprise there. Now if we can keep you for a little more time we can complete the sixth year tests and you would be done. We're going to skip the written tests and just do the practical exams."

Harry grinned, "I'm all for that."

When they finally made it back to the Weasley home they were questioned on arrival, Merry asked, "How did you do?"

Harry said, "Fine, I'm allowed into seventh year in all the classes I wanted."

Ginny said, "He got twelve O's on his OWLs."

Merry gaped and Harry said, "You do remember I got all my memories back. And I have a very good education."

Merry nodded and asked Ginny, "How did your chat go?

Ginny grinned, "I'm going to be Quidditch captain. And I got to see the portraits of all the previous headmasters."

Harry thought for a moment, "All of them?"

Ginny said, "I saw all of them but I wanted to talk to your name sake but he was asleep, he has been for about a week. Professor MacDougal had been worried about him but we were able to rouse him today for a few moments just long enough to get a word or two out of him. She isn't worried anymore."

Harry said, "I wonder if she would let me in the office to talk to a couple of them myself."
