lea arrived in a old grey house, a small boy was sitting at the other end of the hall, he was crying silently, a portrait of an old woman was screeching in her frame but her voice was drowned out by the man standing over the boy, he was the spitting image of him but with hazel eyes that clouded with anger, 'why did we die for you? you disappointed us, you got padfoot killed. and moony, if you have never been born none of this would have happened!' the man morphed into a large beefy man with a belt, 'boy, why are you crying! I'll give you something to cry about!' lea jumped between them holding both hands up.

'NO!' the man was launched backwards, the boy looked up, he had startling green eyes and a large bruise on his cheek.

'thank you,' tears still ran silently down his face, he couldn't be older than fifteen, 'who are you?'

'my name is lea, i am going to get us out of here, but i need you help.' harry looked confused, 'where is here?'

she smiled, 'your trapped in this dream, your in st. mungo's, do you know what happened?'

'James.' he said suddenly, the memory flooding back to him, he got to his feet unsteadily and walked to the door and flung it open, he came to another corridor, running inside, closely followed by lea he saw a black tiled hall with a simple black door at the end, on the floor lay a thin man with straggly black hair, he grunted and rolled over.

'pup?' he rasped.

'lea,' harry sounded scared.

'it is not real, when you conker the fears and believe that completely you wake up.'

'just me?' harry questioned.

'i connected to your coma to help you, i can wake any time i want though,' to last part a lie, lea cursed herself silently but she knew that if she told him she couldn't wake until he did she knew he would panic and that could be dangerous.

'pup.' the man sounded more certain this time.

'Sirius,' harry made a move towards him but felt an arm on his shoulder, he looked round, he noticed that lea was slightly taller than him.

'it's not real,' she said gently.

he pulled from her grip and ran to him, the man harry called Sirius smiled softly, 'h-hey pup,' he said weakly.

'what happened?' harry sounded worried,

'Bellatrix,' he said and both harry and lea paled, 'why d'you do it p-pup,' harry was shacking uncontrollably. 'it w-was your f-f-fault pup.' the fake Sirius was slowly dying.

'i'm so sorry,' harry was crying again, silent tears dripped down his cheeks, lea knelt beside him, he felt an arm around his shoulders, he turned to her, 'i never got to say goodbye to so many.' he said, she nodded and hugged him, he rested his head on her shoulder and continued to sob.

'no wonder m-m-moony never tried for c-custardy, i mean we d-d-didn't want y-you and now you got m-me killed.' the fake Sirius' head lolled his eyes glazed, he was dead.

'he is right you know,' harry flinched.

'Remus?' harry had stopped crying.

'even after you got me killed, you never treated my son as your own,' Remus sneered, 'he was always second best. to Ginny, then James, the little brat, i wouldn't have put up with that nonsense from you so why do you put up with it?'

'he is my son and i love him just as much as i love teddy and al, lily and Ginny, the real Remus wouldn't say that!' the room started to swirl, lea and harry griped hands as they reached the brink of consciousness and sat bolt upright.

yell's of harry and daddy filled the room, lea slipped off the bed and out of the room, she reached the fire place and pulled out and small bag of powder, 'wait,' a twenty-nine year old harry was standing behind her his family attached to him, he smiled.

'hey, you alright?' harry nodded.

'yeah,' he sighed, 'you?'

'i have done that before, i was my aunt's test subject.' she looked down.

'what?' harry spluttered, the kids shifted at his outburst.

'the spell went wrong, it was meant to contact the dead by putting you on the on the brink of death but all it did was make you... well you know,' she smiled, 'it wasn't her fault, i wanted to contact my parents,' harry looked confused, 'they were murdered by the lestranges for being muggleborn, i miss them.'

'and you won't te...'

'no, of course not.'

'thank you for everything, would you like to stay away from school tonight i can arrange accommodation'

'no, i am going to have to go back,' she smiled.

'why?'

'i have to explain to my dorm why my identical twin came running into the room ranting about harry potter,' she cast a knowing look at teddy who was shift slowly towards the door, threw powder into the fire and disappeared. harry stood there for a moment before something clicked in his mind.

'teddy!'
