Hey. This chapter was a lot harder than I had originally thought that it would be, and because of that there might be a lot of mistakes, sorry if there is. Anyway, the wedding is almost here, for some reason she wants a winter thing, which is cool because I like the cold and snow, plus it is kinda how we met when we were seven, giant snowball fight, girls against boys. Yeah…we hated each other until middle school and didn't date until sophomore year.
Way off track. I hope that this is a little longer than my usual chapters, I did put a lot of thought into it, just didn't totally watch out for mistakes. Your input would be valued a lot. Thanks.
Harry awoke, Bellatrix still fast asleep. Carefully, Harry rolled out of his bed and walked down to the kitchen to find Sirius standing overlooking breakfast, acting as if nothing out of the ordinary was going on in Potter manor. Looking to Harry, spatula in hand, he pointed to Harry. "I'll kill you if you make any of them cry." Sirius said in a deadly tone, turning back to the counter he grabbed a plate and loaded it up with all sorts of foods. "Eat up." This time, his tone was friendly and kind. Harry felt a small sweat bubble role down the side of his head as he forced a smile.Sitting down at the table, Iris and Tonks came down, hands covering their mouths as they let out long yawns. "Wanna do it today Harry?" Tonks asked, looking into Harry's emerald eyes. Last night, Harry told Iris to inform Tonks and Narcissa about the ritual that he planed to perform, and if at all possible to get a hold of Nia so she could offer her own memories of her sister and brother-in-law.
"DO WHAT!?" Sirius said in a deadly tone, pulling a knife and cutting some toast and sausage right in front of Harry before setting it on his plate.
"Should we tell him?" Tonks asked, knowing that Sirius was making the wrong inferences, making her smile a smile that was only known to the Mauderers.
"Tonks, shut it, wait till we are ready." Iris rebudled. Sirius was a long standing friend of both James and Lily, chances are the idea of getting his friend back might make him want to rush things that needed a lot of time to get ready, such as the ritual drawings.
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY NEICE!?" Sirius shouted at Harry, who warily jumped to the other end of the table, trying desperately to dodge his godfather who was still holding a knife tight in his hand. Tonks found this to be hilarious.
Four hours later
Harry, Iris and Bellatrix stood in front of the fire waiting patiently for the ok from Draco. When he returned, he curtly nodded, his face slightly flush. Once again, Harry had returned to private drive. Taking in his surroundings, Harry found three of Dudley's gang laid out on the floor, blood splattered on their faces. Harry turned and shot a look at Draco. "Hey." Draco began as Iris made her advance on him. "It isn't what it looks like." Draco tried defending himself as he pointed to the fat one Vernon. "He had them here they were going to hurt chubbykins."
"Explain." Narcissa demanded.
Draco let out a long sigh "They were going over some kind of plan, they said that when he got home, they were going to give him some 'sense'. It wasn't what they said, just the way that they said it, I didn't want anything like that going on when you walked in, so I did what I could without a wand."
Harry sighed. "Alright Draco, we will talk to my aunt and see what she has to say…where is she?" Harry questioned, walking through the house, still no sign. Finally pulling a note from the fridge that he had found with his aunt's signature at the bottom. Harry smirked and walked back into the living room with everyone. "Check it out." Everyone read through the note as was relieved that Iris wouldn't have to endure Dudley hitting on her every moment.
"Who do you think it is?" Iris asked.
"Who who is?" Nia asked as she walked through the doorway with Dudley and another girl.
"Millicent?" Draco asked looking upon the girl who now had her head on Dudley's shoulder, an arm entangled with his. It was clear that the note was true, Dudley did have a girlfriend.
"Harry…I'm sorry…for everything." Dudley stated, his eyes down stricken
Harry looked upon his cosine's form, his stance and even his down stricken eyes. "It doesn't erase what you have done to me over the years, but it is a start." Harry said emotionlessly. No, he didn't forgive his cosine, it was a bit too quick for his taste, especially considering what Dudley has done to him over the years. Although it his face showed regret, and he did make an effort which now shows more character then Dudley ever had.
"Your cosine is Harry Potter?" Millicent asked. Dudley nodded shamefully. "Wow…I guess being cute runs in your blood eh Potter?"
"WHAT IN THE WORLD?!" Nia shouted upon entering the living room where Draco left Dudley's friends and Vernon, who he called the bloated one.
Childishly, Harry and Iris pointed to Draco, both saying he did it at the exact moment in time. Draco laughed while he and his mother took Nia into another room, and explained what had happened, at least from Draco's point of view.
They came out and healed all of the wounds that Draco made with the exception of Vernon of course, who seemed to have orchestrated this whole scheme to teach his son that dating a freak was absolutely not allowed in his family, which is hypocritical if you think about it. "Harry, you might want to sit down…Dudley and I have some news for you, show him Pumpkin." Nia said, turning Harry's attention to his cosine. Dudley then did something that Harry never would have thought he could do, he pulled out a wand, with a swish and a flick, Dudley cast a weak cutting curse. "While he will not be too strong in magic he will be able to cast it. You see, if you do not use your magic, it begins to wittle and rot, kind of like cabbage." Harry let out a laugh at his aunt's simile "or if you use it in excessive amounts, which most purebloods do, the result is an offspring is a weak wizard or a squib." Harry nodded in understanding, it made sense, seeing the black sisters for the first time, almost all they did was use magic, Draco was the same way, they used magic for almost everything, even getting the remote for the T.V. for god's sake, it isn't too hard to reach forward and pull it off of the coffee table. "Is there something that you needed Harry? You just don't drop by without a purpose."
Harry placed a hand over his heart and pretended to be hurt. "You wound me auntie Nia…your own nephew cannot come over for tea every now and then? I see how it is." With a 'humph' Harry turned around, his back to his aunt and his arms crossed.
"Since Harry is still being a child," Bellatrix said, placing the emphasis on child. "I will ask you, we are going to try and bring your sister and James back, we will need you. If you say no, then we will not be able to do this." Bellatrix finished in one breath, stepping out of the room to gather her thoughts and breath. Nia sighed and leaned forward, placing her hands together over her mouth, making a small platform for her chin to rest on.
"Do I even have a choice?" Nia asked, pulling her hands down and revealing a large grin on her lips. "Save my sister and help you get your parents back…or live with the whale? Easy choice." Dudley looked down on the form of the man that he once did admire and had apparently made a plan to put Dudley down and out for dating Millicent.
Gathering her belongings and what she would need for the ritual, they left for Harry's manor to bring back the ones that they have lost.
-Potter Manor-
Harry and Nia threw themselves back onto the brick wall before letting their legs sag and drop them to the floor. The blood that was required to make the ritual work was split down the middle, there was one gallon from Nia and another Gallon from Harry, and many empty blood replenishing potion bottles lay skewed down on the floor and all across it.
Bellatrix and Narcissa as well as Sirius were at work, making an uncountable number of hand seals and muttering incantations. Turns out that Bellatrix and Narcissa did know James and Lily very well, while they were not friends, simply because they were slytherins and James and Lily were Gryffindor, Sirius would always come and tell everyone about his friends or as their parents would say, the mudblood.
Sirius hand signs were meant to restore memories, while he didn't know exactly all of what they went through, he had the love that they shared down, they never really bothered to go to a bedroom to kiss or talk, Lily's mado was let it all hang out, let the world see what shouldn't be covered, and she followed that mado to the letter. He spent a lot of time with them while they were with Harry, and alone, meeting their parents and spending time doing what they wanted to do.
Bellatrix and Narcissa went for appearance. Since they were not in contact after graduation day, so they would look like average seventh years, this would give them the element of surprise when they fought Voldy and Wormtail.
Slowly, the blood came down from the walls, it seem to seep toward the center of the room where the rune symbols began to glow. They seemed to create a giant tower and began to take the shape of a man and a women. Silver strings like the memories that Dumbledore made Harry view last year shot out of each of their foreheads. If anything, the hand symbols that the three were making intensified and began to go faster as well as the incantations that they were muttering, to anyone other then the three, it sounded much like gibberish.
The three passed out from exhaustion as the blood towers began to form organs and skin. With a bright flash of light, a red orb came down followed by a green and shot themselves deep into the body of Harry's mum and dad. The bodies were dropped onto the floor and laid there, neither moving or breathing. After about a minuet, the bodies sprang up into a sitting position and measured the other up, acting as if they had just woke up from a dream.
"James?" The woman with copper red hair and piercing green eyes asked, bewildered with their current situation.
"Lily?" the man asked, he had a lean body, unruly hair that seemed to stick out in selected spots and a strange twinkle in his dark brown eyes.
It dawned on them, in the after life they managed to send a dream to Harry. "HARRY!" They screamed in unison, dashing forward to Harry and tackling him down to the ground.
"I LOVE YOU SON!" James shouted
"GET OFF ME!" Harry screamed back
"Let me hug him." Lily whined.
"NO!" Harry shouted over the both of them, there was something that they needed to know. "You guys cannot hug me…I won't allow it." Harry said, his eyes directed to the ground.
"What's the matter?" Lily asked, the hurt was evident in her voice.
"You…are…naked…It's weird." Harry said, putting emphasis on you are naked. They blinked at Harry, trying to understand what he meant. Finally it dawned on Lily as she shrieked and turned her back on her son, trying to cover as much as she could.
"YOU ARE GROUNDED! YOU JUST CAN'T LOOK AT YOUR MOTHER NAKED AND GET AWAY WITH IT!" James boomed, only half joking."YOU CAN'T GROUND ME! YOU'RE MY AGE AND I AM LORD OF THIS FAMILY!" Harry shot back, storming out for fear of not only his sanity, but losing his ability to see things, he just saw a sight that no one in his position should.
-10 min. later-
After much talking by their loved ones ( Tonks to Harry, Lily to James) the women were able to get the boys to talk and make up. Tonks said that she wouldn't forgive Harry if he somehow managed to screw up the first meeting with his parents and Lily had said that she would never leave it be if she didn't see her son soon.
It was an odd reunion, meeting someone for the first time, but still knowing that this wasn't your first encounter, and that they belong with you. Harry could almost feel his mother's tears as he watched her embrace him for the first time since she died all that time ago.
"I want to know all about you." Lily stated, James taking a seat beside her, staring at her son intently.
"Alright." Harry said, placing a hand under his chin. His mother's favorite moment in Harry's life was when he managed to kill the basilisk and save Ginny Weasley, and tell her brother Ron to get the fuck out. James loved the moments of Quitich and when he managed with the help of Remus to master the spell that blocked Dementors and their effects.
It took quite a lot of explaining by Nia for the years with the Dursleys, once again she showed the memory of Harry and Nia talking, the memory of Dumbledore's assault on herself and her family and finally, the memory of Harry being trained by the adults.
Lily and James were up to date and incredibly upset. "stop and think for a moment." Iris commanded. "Nia, you said that Dumbledore remolded your mind to make you think of Harry as an animal…why would he bother to do that if he is the so called chosen one that will someday kill Voldemort? What was the purpose in making you beat the crap out of Harry and put him through misery? I doubt that it is a simple stupid grudge."
In an instant, James was on his feet, his eyes wide with fear. "REMUS IS IN TROUBLE AT PADFOOT'S PAD!" On that note, Sirius and James sprinted out the front door and onto the front lawn.
"How'd he know that?" Harry asked, chasing after his father and godfather, his mum and girlfriend Tonks at his side.
"Well, you see…" Lily began "When they were younger, they bonded with blood to one another, the purpose was to help the others know whne one is in trouble, I think this is how Sirius knew when to come to our house and get you."
-Headquarters of the order of phoenix-
Dumbledore paced back and forth, he had major news to share with the order. First was a happy note, Remus was returning from his mission and was to go over the details immediately, then he would inform them of the disturbing news about the sensation that he just had flood over him. He felt the aura of James and lily Potter flaring up, meaning that someone somewhere managed to bring them back from the dead, more then likely Harry or Voldemort.
A door closed and Remus walked into the kitchen, tracking mud as he walked. He looked like death itself, his eyes held heavy bags and his gray hairs grew to greater numbers, almost one fifth of them were now gray. Walking into the kitchen, he found Molly, Kingsley and Dumbledore waiting. "They said no, and they would never." Remus said, taking a seat while cries of outrage rang out. "SHUT UP! I tried my hardest, the wolf clans want nothing to do with you Dumbledore, after what you have done to them, I can't say that I blame them."
"Yes, as disappointing as this information is, there is something just as bad, it seems that the Potters have been brought back to life by some dark wizard." Remus's head shot up, it had been almost 16yrs. Since he has last seen the either of them.
"What of Harry?" Molly asked in a overly worried tone. "What has become of him?'
"Stuff it Molly, everyone here knows that you do not give a damn about him, you only want him near you so you can continue to mooch money off of him and his account. Why didn't you tell me that my friends are back?" Remus demanded, Molly gasped at his abruptness and even rudeness toward not only the strongest wizard today, but to herself.
"Remus." Dumbledore began, letting out a long and low sigh. Turning from the voice of a leader to that of a grandfather. "they are traitors to the order and the light. They mine as well have handed Harry over to Voldemort in the very beginning. Since they are traitors to the order, they are traitors to you and everything that you stand for."
"No, no they are not." Hestia said, walking in and backing up behind Remus. "They fought to keep Harry safe from everyone, if that list includes you, then you must have done something pretty bad."
Remus smiled to his friend and co-worker. "I made a promise to them long ago" Remus stated. "I said that I would do anything I could to help them, and before they could call on that favor, they were taken from me, it is time that I try and come through for them."
Remus became weary as everyone took out their wands and closed in on him and Hestia. "I am sorry that you have said that." Dumbledore began. "as you know, dark creatures have security from certain contracts, such as the one that I issued to you before you entered the order, if I let you go…you will be able to tell them everything, that is something that I cannot have."
Remus and Hestia were ready to run or fight, perhaps do both, the cards were against them after all. The door burst open and Sirius stormed straight in. Moony nearly fainted at the sight of a young Lily, James and Sirius. They didn't look a day older than when they got out of school. "LEAVE MY HOUSE NOW!" Sirius barked, malice seemed to drip off of each word.
Harry, Tonks, Lily and James proudly walked forward, staring into the eyes of Dumbledore, the reason for everything that had went wrong. Now death or the dead was staring him down. Almost in a cowardly way, Dumbledore signaled for his order to back down, the Potters were a dark family of great power, they were out gunned here, where Sirius could turn the wards down on them.
Sirius sighed a heavy sigh of relief when the three left his house. He turned to his old friend Moony, who was now passed out on the floor. Anyway, I am using your ideas, and there will be a little fight between Voldy and Harry. Remus, Sirius, Lily and James against Wormtail. I know that fight seems one sided, but it won't be. Anyway, this may take longer since I do put a lot of effort into my fight scenes. Update and give some ideas and it will more than likely go by faster.
I know that it is a bit of a rip off, I should have written a fight scene, but there will be plenty of those, it would have been a huge fight, and this was hard enough to write and get my thoughts down.
