There was a loud crack.

"Oh, thank Merlin, Harry!" says Ginny sobbing, and running to give her husband a hug.

"It's alright Ginny!" says Harry. "I'm fine, and he's been detained."

"I was so scared!" says Ginny.

"I know," replies Harry and he raps his arms tight around her.

"Daddy!" cries Lily, running up and joining the hug.

"I'm okay, Darling," assures Harry, kissing his little girl on the forehead.

"What happened back there?" asks Sarah.

"Who was that guy?" asks Dudley.

"That was Theodore Nott!" says Harry, and Ginny looks shocked. "His father was a Deatheater, but after the First Wizarding War, he managed to escape Azkaban."

"Azkaban?" asks Sarah.

"It's our prison," explains Ginny.

"In any case, after the Second Wizarding War I ended up using my power against him; he and many others were tried for their crimes in both wars. I wasn't exactly quiet about pushing for the trials, and apparently his son wanted revenge," says Harry.

"You scared the crap out of us!" exclaims Ginny.

"Did he hurt you, dad?" asks Lily, still frightened.

"No Lil, I'm fine, I promise! And, he can't hurt anyone now," assures Harry.

"You took him down, like it was nothing!" exclaimed Dudley.

"Dud, I do that for a living!" says Harry; Ginny still shaking. "Although, normally it's just raids, more paperwork, and I am not specifically targeted."

"You threw him through the air!" exclaims Dudley.

"Well, he cast two Unforgivables! I had to act quickly, and it had to be something he couldn't recover too quickly from," explains Harry. "I could have done much worse, but I actually feel kind of bad for the guy; he never stood a chance given who is father is."

"You were bloody brilliant Harry, but you had us all scared!" says Dudley.

"And I'm sorry about that, but I couldn't very well just let him kill innocents because of me," says Harry.

"We know Harry, nobody is asking you to. Just please be careful!" pleads Ginny.

"I always am, Gin," says Harry hugging his wife and daughter again.

"Good!" says Ginny sternly. "I'd really hate to have to bring you back and kill you myself!"

"Ginny, you really are you mother's daughter," says Harry laughing.

"What's that supposed to mean?" inquires Ginny.

"Oh nothing Dear," says Harry grinning. "Just that you have your mother's temper."

"Oh really?" Ginny asks coldly, making Dudley shoot Harry a warning look.

"Yes, but that's why I love you," says Harry smiling. "You also have her heart."

"Nice save Potter," Dudley thought to himself with a smirk.

"Prat," says Ginny jokingly.

"Hey!" screams Harry.

"Get a room you two," says Sarah laughing.

"I'll get the shovel," says Dudley teasingly.

"You'll pay for that Dud," says Harry now laughing.

"Can Uncle Dudley, and Aunt Sarah, stay for dinner?" asks Lily.

"Would you guys like to?" asks Ginny.

"That'd be great," says Sarah, and Dudley nods in agreement.

"Sounds great guys," says Harry.

"I'll help cooking," exclaims Sarah.

"Perfect," says Ginny, and they head off to the kitchen.

"You up for a walk?" asks Harry.

"Sure," says Dudley, and they headed down Church Lane, to the square.

"My parents used to live here, you know," says Harry.

"Really?" asks Dudley interested.

"Yeah, here's the war memorial," says Harry, quickly mumbling an anti-muggle-repelling charm on Dudley.

"Wow, that's you and your parents!" says Dudley.

"I know," says Harry. "The house is still here, as well," leading Dudley to follow him.

"I never did thank you for the photos by the way," says Harry.

"It's the least I could do," says Dudley.

"Regardless it means a lot," informs Harry, "And ah, here it is," pointing to a very much destroyed house.

Dudley was shocked at the state of the house, and walked closer to read it. A sign that had been set in the ground just outside of the house, read "On this spot, on the night of 31 October 1981, Lily and James Potter lost their lives. Their son Harry remains the only wizard ever to have survived the Killing Curse. This house, invisible to Muggles, has been left in its ruined state as a monument to the Potters and as a reminder of the violence that tore apart their family."

This sign had been graffitied over the years with names and messages of support for Harry. All of them said similar things, along the lines of, 'Good luck, Harry, wherever you are!' 'If you read this Harry, we're all behind you!' and 'Long live Harry Potter!'

Reading these, Dudley felt a pang of guilt, but Harry gave him a soft smile.

"You're their hero Harry," states Dudley.

"My mum died to save me," starts Harry. "She did it, not me. I was only 1 years old."

"They're right you know. Look at everything else you've done," says Dudley.

"I don't feel like it, and I almost always had help with the things I've done; but, one thing I've learned over the years is that a hero doesn't have to go it alone," says Harry.

"That's very true! Want to start heading back to the house?" asks Dudley.

"Yeah, alright. Ginny and Sarah probably have dinner almost ready, anyways," replies Harry, and they head back towards the house, leaving Potter's Cottage behind them.
