Lily sat down in Hagrid's hut, tears still running down her face. Hagrid bent down to put the fire on and Fang was jumping up Lily.
'So … Cup of tea?' Hagrid asking Lily, who looked up sadly and nodded, He went over to this little pot and boiled it over the fire, soon turning back to Lily.
'Oh Lily, What's the matter?' He asked and Lily started sobbing even more.
'Hagrid … oh Hagrid … Why did I have to come here … why? I was so happy … and now everything's messed up' Lily sad in between sobs and Hagrid moved over to her and put his big arm around her tiny shoulders.
'I understand its difficult lying to everyone Lily, but Dumbledore's right, it's for the best' Hagrid said awkwardly, looking after crying girls wasn't really his strong point, Hermione had come to him once or twice crying, and this wasn't any easier.
'Harry knows Hagrid … I didn't lie to him…' Lily said putting her head in her hands, the tears falling faster; just thinking about Harry made her feel sick.
'Oh … Right ok… Well it's good to see you anyway' Hagrid said on edge … he really was lost for words.
'Why because I'm dead?' Lily said looking up to Hagrid, who looked down straight away.
'Oh so you know then…' He answered and she nodded.
'Yeah apparently honesty with Harry goes two ways, I tell him something he has to tell me something, unfortunately it was that myself, James and Sirius are all dead here … unfortunate …' Lily said as the pot squealed over by the fire, indicating that the water had boiled. Hagrid got up slowly and walked over to the fire, grabbing the pot and pouring the hot water into two mugs and handing one over to Lily. Who took it and put it straight down on the table in front of her.
'I hated it here at first, then I started warming to the idea that it was a change, it was an adventure, now I don't know where I am, I'm lost … and I really do just want to go home … I hate it …' Lily said rubbing her hand over her forehead.
'Lily I'm sorry' Hagrid said but Lily cut him off.
'Its fine, not your fault I'm dead is it … or are u secretly an axe murderer in a secret life' Lily said and Hagrid smiled.
'No thankfully not, but I am sorry, Harry shouldn't have told you, He probably thought it was the right thing to do knowing Harry, but still…' Hagrid said and Lily nodded.
'You know he is so much like you and James its shocking, you know since you didn't bring him up …' Harry said and then cut himself off, realising he was probably saying the wrong thing.
'Yeah I've heard' Lily sighed.
'All that matters really Lily is that in the life you belong, back then, you're alive and well. And here, even though you may have passed on, you're still loved by a lot of people, Harry included … every time someone mentions you or James, He gets really excited and happy, he loves you both so much, that's easy to see … Harry hasn't had the easiest life, living with your sister and brother in law was hard on him, him leaving the place was probably the best thing that's ever happened to him' Hagrid explained and Lily lifted her head.
'Harry lives with Petunia and that mongrel?' Lily said disgusted and Hagrid nodded.
'Yeah, Dumbledore decided it was the best place for him, it was complicated' Hagrid managed to say and Lily stood up.
'No you mean it'll be to hard for me to here … how am I supposed to go back home now and live with this, knowing that as I hit my twenties I'm gonna pop my clogs' Lily said getting angry.
'Lily … calm down! This is exactly why Dumbledore set up these fake identities, so a situation like this wouldn't turn up' Hagrid explained and Lily sighed.
'Yeah so we didn't know the truth' She said and sat back down slowly, she turned her head when she heard a bang on Hagrid's front door, she looked at him as he got up to see who it was, he opened the door to Sirius standing there, soaked through due to the rain.
'Is she here?' Sirius asked and Hagrid nodded, opening the door wider for Sirius to come in, as he shut the door Hagrid grabbed a towel that was behind the door, and threw it over Sirius for him to get dried off.
'Are you ok?' Sirius asked while approaching Lily and pulling her into a big hug.
'No … I hate this place Sirius …I want to go home … even though technically I don't know where home is, as I'll go back knowing our fate anyway' Lily said sadly pulling away from the hug.
'I no it's really messed me up' Sirius said with a single tear running down his face.

'Harry, come on just come out … please' Hermione said outside the boys dormitory bathroom, Harry had locked himself in there after Sirius had left the common room.
'Yeah come on mate, it'll be ok' Ron added and they could hear Harry sarcastically laugh through the door.
'Yeah sure it is, I've just ruined my Mums and God Fathers lives, why was I stupid enough to open my big mouth!' Harry shouted and Hermione rested her head against the shut door, she tried really hard to take in all the events from tonight, it seemed really difficult, everything had moved so fast, and everything had changed, and she wondered weather or not for the better…
'Harry please, you did what you thought was right, and it was right, it wasn't fair on you to lie to them, you did the right thing, how do you know they'll even remember this when they get back to their own world? They more than likely wont, I've read loads of stories in my history books about people, who have accidentally travelled in time and can't remember even going, they know they went somewhere, but can't remember where or what happened, what if that's the case? You'll be kicking yourself …' Hermione explained and Ron smiled at her, hoping she had a breakthrough.
'Yeah well it'll be hard to kick myself if they remember and I end up not being born' Harry shouted, through what Hermione guessed as tears.
'Harry if that was the case we wouldn't be having this conversation, history would have changed the second you had told her, which initially it didn't because you're still here in the flesh, now stop being so dramatic, I know a big thing has happened, but you need to be an adult about it, you can't change the past Harry, you know that better than anyone I know … so please just come out' Hermione said and was greeted with silence. Ron and Hermione looked sadly at each other, knowing they weren't getting anywhere, and slowly turned away and went back down to the common room. Inside the bathroom Harry was staring out of the open window out to the grounds, wondering if Hermione was right, this was a question fit for Dumbledore; So Harry got himself up and walked into his dormitory to look for his invisibility cloak.

'We'll be ok Lils … I promise' Sirius said stealing a sip of Lily's tea.
'How can you say that while when we're talking we've probably been blown up' Lily argued.
'Well there are worse ways to go' Sirius said smiling.
'How can you find this funny Sirius?' Lily said giving her friend glares.
'Because Lily, it really got to me, it did, it would to anyone, and I've just realised, why be depressed … lets live our lives the way we would have, everyone dies at some point, what if we died for a good cause, protecting people, being heroes… isn't that a better way to go then to be remembered as dull, boring and depressive' Sirius argued and Lily pondered this point.
'I guess you're right …' she said quietly and he nodded, along with Hagrid.
'And here, you get to spend time with the Son you never had a chance to really get to know…' Sirius said and Lily nodded, and eventually smiled a little bit.
'Hmm… I guess you are right… but after what I said to Harry … he'll never want to talk to me again!' Lily said sadly and Hagrid cut in.
'You'll be surprised, what did I tell you earlier Lily, Harry loves you … he'd do anything to have you in his life, and even if it's only for a brief time, he'd do anything to have you back, and here you are, he's not going to let this get in his way, trust me' Hagrid said and Lily looked up.
'How do you know that?'
'Because I've known Harry a long time; and like I said' he's more like you than you think' He said smiling, along with an eventually smiling Lily.

'Professor …'
'Harry, what a surprise, sit down' Dumbledore said looking up from his pensive and walking over to his desk.
'What's this visit in aid of?'
'Well, I know about my Mum, and Sirius, and I think I reacted badly, really badly, I kind of told them that they were dead, not in a way to get back at them, I just, had a spasm I guess, I had this big voice in my head telling me it'll be better if I told them, if I told them the truth, and they both flew off the handle…' Harry explained.
'As to be expected, it's a big shock. You do realise I told Lily and Sirius specifically not to tell people their true identity from students, you and your friends included, so a situation like this wouldn't come into the equation' Dumbledore said and Harry nodded.
'I know professor, and I can't believe how stupid I've been telling them about everything' Harry said looking down.
'Where are they both now?' Dumbledore asked and Harry shrugged his shoulders.
'Well knowing those two it could be anywhere…' Dumbledore said with a smile.
'Professor the real reason I came here, was to ask you a question, when my Mum and Sirius return to their real time, will they still remember everything I've told them?' Harry said awkwardly, and Dumbledore raised himself up from his seat and walked over to his pensive.
'I'm not sure Harry, before you arrived I was trying to locate this situation through my pensive, but all I can seem to recall is Mr Black and Miss Evans being in some sort of coma for a few weeks, but saying that I doubt highly they would have remembered, else the course of history would have changed…' Dumbledore said but Harry cut him off.
'Immediately yeah Hermione said that' Harry finished and Dumbledore nodded his head.
'Smart girl that Miss Granger. If it changed the course of history you would either not be here, we wouldn't be having this conversation, or you would still have your parents or a few more memories of them then you had before. Just think back a while, do you remember anything that you didn't before' Dumbledore said and Harry shut his eyes, retracing his memory for any sort of difference and opened his eyes again.
'No nothing, everything is just blank…' Harry said sadly.
'Well then you've answered your own question. Generally when people are in a coma, their mind or soul travels to a different place, they know that they have been somewhere, but when they wake up it seems like a distant dream … So don't worry Mr Potter, although I would prefer it if you kept this piece of information to yourself. I'm trying particularly hard to try and send Mr Black and Miss Evans back to their original time, which at the moment is being rather useless' Dumbledore explaned and Harry nodded.
'But wouldn't it be better if they knew that?' Harry said and Dumbledore shook his head,
'I'm sure they have enough problems and thoughts to deal with, without the trouble of something else, why worry them about something they won't even remember…' Dumbledore said with a tilted smile and Harry smiled back slowly, getting up off his seat, thanking the professor and walked out of the office back to the Gryffindor common room.
