Harry quickly hid at first; uncertain whether it would be wise to attack. After all, he'd be facing two Voldemort's this time, not one, and one was tough enough! He quickly reversed and crouched behind the door of WWW. Fred and George had gone; he was on his own once again.
Please, will someone out there help me decide what to do, he thought desperately to himself. Out of nowhere, there was a flash of red light and the door to WWW burst open. Harry suddenly saw no other option, but to fling himself into action.
"Expelliarmus!" he cried, aiming his wand at the culprit standing in the doorway. Lucius Malfoy stood there, eyes agleam as he only just managed to dodge out of the way. Harry gasped. There were a dozen Death Eaters standing behind him ready to come in to attack. What the hell was going on! Where was everybody? Wasn't there somebody out there ready to fight by his side? He knew Ron and Hermione would have done, but he couldn't risk losing his best friends. Where were Dumbledore and the Order? Had they all abandoned him at his time of need?
Harry felt anger surge through him. No one cared, no one at all. They'd all let him down like they always did. He'd finally had enough.
"Crucio!" he screamed, pointing his wand at Nott. He fell to the floor screaming in pain. All the Death Eaters stared in shock as Saint Potter used an Unforgivable curse.
"This can't be…" Bellatrix uttered in shock, before suddenly pulling herself together. "Let's get him!" she yelled.
"I don't think so!" came the voice of Sirius Black as several rays of light came flying into the shop, "Expelliarmus! Reducto! Rictusempra!" Harry stared in amazement as Black and Lupin came to his rescue.
"Harry, move! Get out of here!" Lupin shouted over the battle that was currently taking place "Get out of here before you get yourself killed!"
Harry stared disbelievingly as Lupin and Black carried on fighting. He couldn't leave them here to fend for themselves, they'd get themselves killed!
"I can't just leave you here…" Harry began, but was cut off by Black roughly shoving him out of the shop.
"Go…now! We'll catch up, I promise! Please, just go! Lily and James would never forgive me if something happened to you!" Sirius yelled, trying his best to fight and to get Harry out of harms' way.
"But Sirius…"
"Go!"
Harry took one last look back. He was torn between staying to fight and helping his godfather and Lupin, but he didn't want to go against Sirius' wish either. In the end, he chose to go, even though he felt strongly against what he was doing.
"Get Potter! Kill him!"
"Avada Kedavra!"
"Nooo, Harry!"
No Harry, it's not your time yet, hang in there…
Professor Dumbledore?

"Where is he! Where's my baby!" Lily screamed at the top of her lungs.
"He's here…" James winced on seeing the glare Lily had shot him.
"I mean…" she said taking a deep breath "Where's my other Harry! Hasn't someone been sent out to save him yet? I WANT MY SON!" She screamed, becoming more and more hysterical by the minute.
"Mrs. Potter, please try to calm down. Sirius and Remus have gone to help him." Madam Pomfrey exclaimed, trying to remain calm herself, but seeming to be having difficulty. She was also rather shaken by the events of two Voldemort's being in one time era.
"It's Harry, he's going to want to fight no matter what," George said quietly, going paler by the minute and looking incredibly sick.
"But I want him here with me!" Lily screamed, now beginning to try to get out of bed. James, alarmed, swiftly moved to push Lily back down on the bed.
"Lily, try to control yourself, remember you're holding baby Harry as well. He's your concern too, not just the Harry from this time. Look, please, just-just try to calm down a bit, we're all worried…" James' voice cracked as he imagined what Harry must be facing. Was he even alive? Writhing in pain? Was he facing Voldemort? James felt overwhelmed with worry by it all. He'd give anything to go out there and fight by his son's side, but the thought of leaving Lily alone in this world and time was too much to bear. True if they lost the Harry from this time, they'd still have baby Harry, but that wasn't enough. They needed hope and help from everyone who was willing. Harry couldn't face the forces of evil alone. James was sure of it.
Suddenly James felt ill. After all the treatment he'd given Harry. All the threats, hate and fights he'd picked with Harry, he still felt close to his son. Even through all the guilt, the pain was unbearable. He felt he owed it to Harry to be there with him. He couldn't just stand here anymore… he had to help, he had to fight!
Without warning, James drew his wand from his pocket and began to run. Lily screamed.
"James, where are you going! JAMES!"
Harry was in trouble, he needed him. James wasn't about to let his son die or get hurt without knowing that he was there and could've made a difference. He wasn't going to let Voldemort take him. He mustn't! James put on a spurt of speed and ran, ran as fast as he could. This time, he and Harry were on the same side and this time, he was going to do things the right way…

Harry, I'm here to help you. Please stay calm. I'm here for you, son. Harry, answer me? ANSWER ME!
Dad?
Yes Harry, it's me. I'm coming to save you, to help you. Father and son side by side, I'm sorry for how I've treated you, please forgive me. If I hadn't of been so stupid in the past, I just wish our relationship was better.
Dad I've forgiven you, you know that. Where am I? How are we talking to each other?
You're in a time warp.
What!
I've created a strong time warp, because of mine and Lily's strong feelings towards you. It's a powerful bond of magic between parents and children. Time has stopped and when I transport you back, no one will know that you'd even disappeared.
But why? Why did you create a time warp?
To try to buy us some time while I come after you. When I release you from it, you'll be in front of Voldemort and you'll have to be on your feet ready to fight. Do you understand me, Harry? BE READY!
I understand, Dad. And Dad, thank you. I do forgive you. If I get out of this alive, I promise we'll all go down to Hagrid's for a nice cup of tea!
Very well, I'm sorry Harry, I can't hold on much longer… I'm nearly there though so don't worry; you won't be alone for long. Aahh I'm sorry…
A blinding flash of light and Harry was standing in front of Voldemort, wand poised, a look of determination on his face. Thanks to James, he was ready.
"Harry Potter" Voldemort hissed. The other Voldemort was nowhere to be seen and he hoped that James hadn't been found yet. Harry glared nastily at Voldemort.
"If you want a fight I'll give you one!" Harry snarled. He raised his wand, but Voldemort got there first.
"Crucio!" Voldemort snarled as Harry collapsed to the floor, screaming and writing in pain.
"LEAVE HIM ALONE! EXPELLIARMUS!" Voldemort nearly dropped his wand in surprise as James ran in front of Harry, shielding him from harm.
"Harry, it's time," James said, pulling him up to standing as they both faced Voldemort. Both Potter's had their wands at the ready. This was it, there was no turning back. James knew Lily would kill him if Voldemort didn't. But he had to do this. For everyone's sake.
"James No! What do you think you're doing!" Black could be heard yelling at the top of his voice, "Get away while you can!" But James merely shook his head. He was going to fight. He had to.
"Are you ready, son?" James questioned, looking to Harry. Harry smirked and nodded. James turned back to Voldemort and swallowed back his anxiety and worry.
"Let's do this then!"
