The first week of school dragged by slowly and all Harry could think about was his parents.

On Friday Harry sat in between Hermione and Ron in Defence against the dark arts. It was the

last lesson of the day and Harry was eager for it to end so he could go see Dumbledore. Quickly

Harry finished copying the notes off the board and put his things away so when the bell finally

rang, He was first to leave the classroom. Hermione was right behind him and once they reached

the end of the corridor they both stopped.

"Hermione are you sure do don't want to come with me?" said Harry, not wanting to leave his

girlfriend with Ron again.

"No Harry. This is something you have to do your self. Anyway, The common room will be packed.

He couldn't possibly try anything." Said Hermione, giving him a reassuring kiss. Then she turned

and disappeared into the crowd.

Harry watched her until she was out of sight then turned and made his way to Dumbledore's office.

Just as he was reaching the last hallway, he began to wonder what Dumbledore's password was. But

he didn't have to worry for long, for at the end of the hall was Dumbledore himself, waiting, as

it seems, for Harry.

Before Harry could even open his mouth, Dumbledore had ushered him up the stairs and into his

office, and over to his desk.

"I know why you're here Harry. Its James and Lily. You want them back. And I'm going to help you"

Dumbledore sat back in his chair and peered at Harry over his half moon spectacles. Harry stared

at him.

"How did you know?"

"Oh I've been thinking about it for a while. I've just been waiting for you to think of it as well.

Severus, please come forward."

Harry span around in his chair and watched Snape strode out of the shadows, carrying a large cauldron

full of strange ingredients.

"Do you think its wise, headmaster, to bring the boys arrogant parents back to one who is as arrogant he?"

slurred Snape as he placed the cauldron on the desk.

"Now Severus, you and I both know that Lily and James Potter will be helping the Order once they are back"

Dumbledore smiled lightly as he unpacked the ingredients and placed them on the desk. Then, quickly, but carefully,

he chopped up three frogs legs and threw them into the empty cauldron, at the exact same time Snape threw in a handful of

powdered dragon scale.

In a flash of light and a puff of smoke, the dry ingredients turned to an acid green liquid.

"Now Harry, I need you to stir this mixture once every three seconds. Do you understand?"

said Dumbledore, handing Harry

a wooden spoon. Harry dipped the spoon into the mixture and began to slowly stir it.

Mean while, somewhere high above them, Hermione sat in a comfortable armchair doing her homework.

But at the same time she was keeping a careful eye on Ron, who was practicing a silencing charm

on his owl, Pig.

There were two other people in the common room. Lavender brown and Ginny Weasley. Everyone else

had gone to dinner.

"Finished" muttered Ginny after a while. She threw down her quill and left the room, also going

to dinner.

"I'm finished to." Said Lavender. She got up, smiled at Hermione, and then strode out of the room.

Hermione made to follow her but Ron blocked off.

"Ron please don't," she said, backing away.

"You told him," He snarled and Hermione turned and Ran to the girls' dormitory.

Ron was right behind her and when he hit the sixth step, the staircase turned into a slide.

Hermione screamed as Ron grabbed her ankle, and together they slide back down onto the Rug were

Ron began to grab and claw at Hermione's clothes and face.

"Ok Potter the last ingredient we need is a few drops of your blood." Said Snape, gleefully,

handing Harry a knife. As Harry cut into his hand he couldn't help but ask;

"If I fell asleep then who put blood in for Sirius?"

"Remus did, Harry, Remember, he and you Sirius were best friends. You need blood from someone

who dearly cares or has that persons blood running in their veins." Explained Dumbledore as Harry

squeezed his cut. A few drops of blood leaked out and into the mixture, which immediately turned

white. Harry, Dumbledore and Snape each stepped back as a figure began to form in the potion.

It rose up and up then began to take the form of a human. A few moments Later, Harry's mother

stepped out of the potion. Harry stared at her. She looked just like she did in the photo album

that Hagrid had given him in his first year.

"Mum?" Harry dared to whisper. Lily turned to face him.

"Oh Harry," she cried, scooping him up in a hug. "Harry looks how big you are! James look at

our son!" Harry pulled away from his mother to see his grinning father standing by the cauldron.

"Leave him alone Lily. You might suffocate him," laughed James, also giving Harry a hug.

Harry's heart was overflowing with joy. He had his parents back and he couldn't be happier.

"Harry. I am going to let you go and stay the night at Sirius' house with Lily and James. But

remember, only a night. We don't want anyone knowing they're back. " Said Dumbledore, breaking

Harry's thoughts. "Now go up to the Gryffindor tower and collect some clothes then meet us back

here."

Harry didn't need telling twice. He rushed out of the office and ran the whole way to the Gryffindor tower.

"Hermione! They're… Hermione? What happened?" Harry had reached the Gryffindor common room that was now

flooded with people, all surrounding the body of Hermione. As Harry moved closer, everyone turned to face

him and he immediately noticed that Dean had a black eye and Seamus was stemming a bleeding nose.

"He attacked her Harry," said Neville who was also bruised in a few places. "Me, Dean and Seamus

found him hitting her and we tried to stop him but he was overwhelmed with rage then Ginny and

Lavender came and Ginny cursed him. He's over there," Neville pointed to one corner of the room

where an unconscious Ron was starting to stir.

Harry glanced at him then moved over to Hermione.

"Hermione? Can you hear me? What did he do to you?" He whispered, pulling her up.

"Oh Harry...it was..." she gave a small cough before trying to continue "...Horrible..." she sighed and closed her eyes.

"No Hermione stay awake stay with me" Harry gave her a little shake and she stirred but stayed asleep.

"Harry we better take her to the hospital wing" whispered Ginny.

Harry shook his head.

"No I'll take her to Dumbledore" He stood up with Hermione in his arms. Just as he was about to leave, he heard a laugh behind him. Ron.

"She doesn't love you Harry, she loves me" Ron was standing up now and everyone was facing him.

"Yeah that's right. She even told me so. Just before. She even gave me a little kiss."

That was all Harry could handle. Putting Hermione down in a chair he turned to face Ron, then, fists clenched, he ran at him,

landing a neat but hard punch in Ron's jaw. Ron tried to fight back but Harry, to Angered to let him, used his quick and nimble

seeker skills, and bashed the living daylights out of his ex-best friend.

It was only when Ron finally sank to the ground, utterly defeated, did Harry leave him and go back to Hermione.

Carefully he picked her up again and, with the whole of Gryffindor following him, made his way back to Dumbledore.

Ok I hoped you liked that chapter. I tried to make it as action packed as possible but anyway. *Shrugs* please Review!!!
