AN: Sorry for the long delay. What can I say? I was infected by Twilight Fever. I don't know how that happened, I still remember thinking `What is all the hype about?´ after finishing the first book ...

The following chapters are short and each featuring reactions and thoughts of a few of our favorite people. So far I have finished Molly, Hermione and Snape, so updates should follow in short order.

After the Meeting: Molly

Molly Weasley hardly knew what to think. There had been so much going on since yesterday evening. First, there had been Dumbledore's question after her family. She had almost panicked, thinking that there would have to be a good reason for that inquiry, but when she had raced to the family clock to check, the ten fingers featuring Arthur, herself, their children and one daughter-in-law, had merely shown their current location.

Bill was in Egypt, Charley had come home on a vacation and was currently snoring in his old room, Percy and his wife had joined the family Halloween celebration, but had left early for their home in a London suburb. The twins were still living at home (saving money for that infernal joke shop they were planning) and Ron had opted to sleep in his old room for tonight (he was usually living in London with one of his old dorm mates). Ginny was at Hogwarts, as she should be. None of the fingers had pointed to "Mortal Peril", "Hurt", or even "Travel".

Dumbledore had reassured her that he had no reason to assume that her family was not all right and that he was just making sure and that she would probably get to know the reason soon.

Then, this morning, she had gotten a floo call from Lily Potter, who had announced an Order of Phoenix meeting for the evening. Again, she was told that there was no need to panic, it was just because new information on You-Know-Who had been discovered, but there was no immediate danger. The whole of the Weasley Family was invited, which included Ginny.

When Molly had resolutely refused, based on the fact that none of her children had been in the Order the first time around and that Ginny was not even out of school, Lily had looked very seriously and had said, "Please. I can understand you worries, believe me." Molly had blushed at her lack of tact; after all, the whole wizarding world knew that Lily Potter had lost her son to You-Know-Who. Lily had continued. "This is not going to be like last time. And there is a special reason, why we need Ron and Ginny there." And so Molly had agreed.

What she had heard and seen at the meeting was unbelievable enough to require the almost laughable amount of security spells they had to get through to reach the Potters' house.

Dumbledore had started the meeting by announcing that they had discovered a way to end the threat of Voldemort returning for good. Then he had introduced a young man, whom Molly had instantly wanted to mother and feed. His eyes had such a look of loss and mourning. But when he had started to speak, he had suddenly changed, grown somehow, cloaked in an air of authority almost as strong as Dumbledore's.

"I would like all of you to watch a memory first and then listen to some explanations. I know you will have trouble believing me, but I want to get the basic information across before I start proving my story and answering to your doubts." He had hold his wand above a pensive standing next to him and a memory had started to rise from it. Molly had heard Ron giving a short gasp.

"Trelawney." The Divination Professor?

`The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches… born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies … and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not … and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives … the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies …'

"This prophecy was given by Professor Trelawney to Professor Dumbledore 17 years ago. Voldemort was informed about the first part by a spy. There were actually two boys who fitted that part, Neville Longbottom and Harry Potter. Voldemort decided to go after the Potters. This prophecy is the reason of the attack which led to his downfall.

When Voldemort entered the house in Godric's Hollow, there were two possible outcomes and – Professor Dumbledore will explain this in greater detail later – basically, the universe split. In one reality, this one, Harry Potter died and his parents survived when Voldemort's killing curse towards them rebounded on him. In the other one, the universe I am from, James and Lily Potter died and Harry survived a killing curse aimed at him, which again rebounded on Voldemort."

The young man took a deep breath. "I am Harry Potter." Shocked murmurs had followed, but he had not paid attention. "I haven't come back from the dead, but I have somehow crossed the lines between the two separate universes yesterday evening. Now, Professor Dumbledore will explain his guesses about how that came to pass."

And Dumbledore had explained. Molly thought now that it was the greatest show of respect ever given to him that the members of the Order had actually listened. In the long discussion that followed (more of a questions and answers session, really) he and the young man who called himself Harry Potter had managed to convince most of the audience. The last doubts had been dispersed when both Minerva McGonagall and Severus Snape had performed a complicated spell designed to reveal a true identity and had declared themselves convinced by the results.

When Molly had thought that nothing would be able to surprise her further, Harry Potter had spoken again. He had explained how in his world, You-Know-Who had regained a body and returned to power, starting a second war. The story of how he, a muggle-born classmate of Ron's, who was also present and (Merlin!) Ron himself had managed to finally defeat him, had been the most outlandish of the evening. Another, even longer round of questions and doubts to be answered was following.

Dumbledore had presented two items, one burned beyond recognition and one still intact, and had explained that they had already started the road towards the ultimate destruction of You-Know-Who, but would need help with the rest of them. A lot of details had followed, but Molly only remembered that they had asked for Bill's help specifically for something involving Gringotts.

Finally, at the end of the meeting, Harry Potter had spoken again. "In my universe, we managed to defeat Voldemort in the end, but the costs have been too high, and it was never really over, because the Death-Eaters continued their fight, and the death-toll rose even higher. As long as Voldemort is not really dead in this universe, he will search for and finally find a way to regain his power. The only hope we have is to be fast and make him mortal again without him noticing, so we might be able to kill him before he regains full power."

Merlin, Molly thought, please let us be fast enough and please don't let any of my family be hurt in the process.

Thanks for the reviews and for the people who told me to continue the story, my brain needed some incentives to return to this plot.

Review, please?
