Harry had saved the girl's life. Madam Pomfrey had told him that if he had waited until they had fetched her, Ann would most likely have died.
He closed his eyes, looking at the young girl, her long blond hair splayed on her pillow, her small button nose was relaxed, her eyebrows were at ease, her lips emotionless, and she was breathing softly. He felt something in his chest, a brotherly feeling, as he looked at the girl, something he hadn't felt since Ginny.
"Is she okay?" A voice asked, and Harry looked up to see Lily standing there, unsure of what to do.
"Yeah, she is going to be okay." Harry answered, lightly brushing her hair out of her face. Her hair was silky to the touch, wisps of velvet brushing under his fingertips.
"Do you like her?" Lily asked sitting down next to him. Lily looked at him, her green eyes on his.
"No." Harry said, truthfully, because what he felt for Ann was platonic, almost sisterly affection. Lily looked at him and studied his face, almost sensing the sadness in him.
"Lily, I miss my friends, my family, I miss my old home." Harry whispered, tears sliding down his face, pain in his heart, longing to see Hermione, Molly, Fred, George, Ron, Ginny, Remus, any of his friends.
Lily wrapped her arms around his neck, and Harry tensed slightly, but soon relaxed, resting his head on her shoulder. Lily brushed her hands along his hair, running her fingers through it, soothing him gently.
James P.O.V.
The Marauders hurried to the Hospital Wing, hoping to see Ann, and to see if she was okay. James opened the door and his blood stilled at the sight infront of him.
Lily, sweet Lily, had her arms around Mr. Moon, running her hands through his hair, and he had his head rested on her shoulder. James felt his jealousy burn, more than it ever was when Lily was with Snape.
"Oi!" Sirius Black yelled, his eyes angry as well. Mr. Moon and Lily jumped apart, their faces both red with embarrassment.
"What do you think your doing?" James asked, anger coursing through his veins. James felt like he had a bucket of cold water splashed on him.
"We were just hugging, don't get your boxers in a twist!" Lily snapped, her face almost as red as her hair. Lily had never looked more beautiful, in James's opinion.
"He is a teacher's aide, you can't go around hugging them for no apparent reason." James snarled. James wanted to strangle Mr. Moon.
"He was upset, he misses his family and friends, how would you feel if you were away from Sirius? or Remus? How about your parents?" Lily hissed, her hair almost crackling with anger.
James felt terrible now, but his pride was too hurt to stop.
"Why did he leave, huh? Was it because they didn't want him? or they thought that he was evil?" James said, and then everything stopped. They saw Mr. Moon stand up, his eyes were shinning with unshed tears, and he briskly walked to the Hospital Wing doors.
"JAMES POTTER! I never want you to be near me, I don't want you to talk to me, I don't want to see you, and I sure as hell won't ever go on a date with you, I thought you had changed, grew up, but I guess I was wrong, your just another one of the bullying toe rags, who doesn't have a heart," Lily screamed at him, her green eyes flashing, " and don't talk about things you don't understand!" she hissed, running out of the wing.
Normal P.O.V.
Harry was numb, not acknowledging anyone who spoke to him, his heart hurt and his feet were moving of their own accord. He felt a hand on his shoulder, and he turned to see Lily, her eyes full of concern for him.
"I'm so sorry Alexander, he didn't mean it, he was just angry." Lily murmured, pulling him to the nearest bench, setting him down.
"What if he was right, what if they don't want me? What if they do think I am evil?" Harry asked. His eyes searching hers, hoping to see something that would make him feel better, selfish for Lily's love, wanting her to know who he really was, but knowing that it would probably distroy the future.
"You couldn't be evil if you tried, and who wouldn't want you? You're kind, brave, thoughtful, strong, and you are smart." Lily whispered, gently brushing her fingers through his hair again, in an almost motherly way.
"Lily, can I ask you something?" Harry whispered, hoping that she believed him, knowing he was breaking the laws of time travel.
"Yes." Lily said looking at him, her green eyes were searching his, hoping he will tell her. Harry, looked at her for a while and decided what he was going to do.
"Lily, what would you do if I told you I was from the... future? That I am your son, and that my parents are Lily and James Potter? That I am destined to be the one to defeat Lord Voldemort? That you had to die in order to protect me?" Harry whispered, wrapping is arms around her.
Lily stared at him, her eyes wide, her lips parted, and then her lips closed.
"Why are you telling me this?" She said, and Harry had to strain to hear her.
"Because eveything I just said was true, I am your son, I am Harry James Potter," Harry murmured, holding her tighter, "Hi Mum."
Well, 9th chapter, and a giant cliff-hanger! I am going to do more than 12 chapters. I need your opinions on something, should I do more time travel fics or should I do an alternate universe story?
