To sjrodgers108: Thanks for your review and I'm coming back.

To brighteyes343: Nah, I don't think that's even going to happen, he'll never be Headmaster. Also she's dead, he's going to bring her back.

To Luiz4200: Actually his mind has blocked out what he's done, so he doesn't remember. Also only the diary remains so once that's gone then that's it.

To Desire Passion: The reason why Draco's magic is acting odd is because of the death of his mother, yes Dumbledore is bringing Lily back, the diary will land in Harry's lap, and Snape is looking for a way to bring Tom's magic back. Of course the diary landing in Harry's lap...literally was in the book after all.

To Puritey: Yep, Dumbledore's evil and he's so going to be taken care of.

To murdrax: It's all part of forcing Harry's hand but also Neville's.

To notwritten: Their having a hard time finding him but he's going down.

Chapter 36: Forcing Harry's Hand

"Are you sure that Ginny wasn't there," Ron said the next day.

"I'm positive," Harry said, "But she was there during the feast."

"Do you think she could of left," Hermione said to him. "I mean, none of us would of noticed."

"I'm sure that she did but I can't just go to the Headmistress and tell her that I believe that Ginny had some hand in it."

Hermione was in deep thought while several Hufflpuff's talked about what had happened.

"Is there a plan or great and wise Hermione," Nott asked and Hermione stuck her tongue out. "Nice, real nice."

"Oh shut up," Hermione snapped, "Well we know that Ginny won't admit to where she was but I think that it's safe to say that there's only one way to find out."

"How?"

"A truth potion," Hermione said, "Have Professor Snape give you a truth potion."

Harry crossed his arms, "And how do you think that I'm going to explain the reason for wanting it?"

"I'm sure that you'll think of something," Hermione said and she walked off.

"Great, that leaves us with no clue on how to get it," Ron said.

Harry sighed, nothing was going right here.

The match between Gryffindor and Slytherin took place a few days after the attack on Mrs. Norris. The Slytherin's were upset about the attack but Harry was. He sat next to Snape, since he was the apprentice, and at once he asked how Snape was managing to stay awake.

"I found a potion," Snape told him, "I've been working on it for awhile and I've managed it."

"I'm glad to hear that," Harry said, "Oh where's Lupin at?"

"Sick," Snape answered shortly.

The match started with Slytherin taking the lead. Harry was all excited about it and then something strange happened two minutes into the game. A bludger came at him and Snape had to use his wand to keep it from hitting them.

"What's wrong with that damn ball," Snape hissed.

"I have no idea," Harry answered as it came at him again.

Once again Snape used his magic to stop it.

The match ended up become a battle of wills. The bludger just decided to go after Harry. Finally McGonagall destroyed it and the game was allowed to continue.

"We have everything that we need," Dumbledore said to Slughorn.

They had broken open the Potter's grave and pulled out what was remaining of Lily's body. It was almost to the bone but her wand was still with her.

"Place her body on the slab?" Dumbledore ordered and Slughorn gently placed it on the slab that had writing so old that not even Dumbledore knew what it meant.

Dumbledore started working on the potion, Slughorn making sure that no one got near the body. All the ingredients were dark in nature and they would release her soul from the Underworld. Finally after three hours the potion was complete and Dumbledore forced open her dead mouth and poured the potion down her throat.

"Come forth, from the Underworld, Lily Evens," Dumbledore chanted, "Elnore tempus trollmine tempira."

Black smoke came out of her mouth and her body started to repair itself.

"Come out of the bowls of the Underworld and live," Dumbledore yelled and just as the body had finished repairing itself a black hound appeared and threw itself against the circle. "You have no power here, Anubis."

"You dare take a soul from my world so that you can have the means to destroy your enemies," the dog said, "Death shall follow you wherever you go."

He took out the Elder Wand and hit the dog with it, it laughed.

"You can't kill Death assistant," it said, "The Elder Wand has no power over me."

A ball of light came out of nowhere and went into Lily's body. She opened her eyes and gasped for breath. Before Dumbledore could move she pointed her wand at him and knocked the Elder Wand out of his hand and grabbed it.

"Thanks for bringing me back, Dumbledore," Lily said, smiling, "But I'm afraid that you won't ever get me to turn."

She bolted from the circle while in the distance a rider looked on. It was Death and he grinned.

"NOW WERE TALKING," he said.

Death always talks in uppercase.

McGonagall thought the match had gone very well and even though her house didn't win…again, she felt that maybe they still had a chance. She drank a cup of hot coffee and thought over what had happened. The Chamber of Secrets had been opened and she feared that Hagrid had been the one that had done it.

"YOU KNOW YOU WITCHES ALWAYS THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX," said a voice.

She turned to see Death setting there, reading a book. She gasped.

"DON'T WORRY; I'M NOT HERE TO SEND YOU TO WHERE YOU NEED TO GO, NOT YET ANYWAY. I'M HERE TO INFORM YOU THAT DUMBLEDORE HAS BROUGHT LILY EVENS BACK."

"What!" she gasped and Death laughed.

"HE ACTUALLY THOUGHT THAT SHE WOULD HELP HIM, GOOD SOUL THAT ONE."

"Can't you take her back," McGonagall asked.

"NO!" Death answered, "SHE HAS ANOTHER LEASE ON LIFE."

"Until you take her again," McGonagall said and Death nodded.

"I FIND ALL THIS DUMBLEDORE BUSINESS CAUSING ME TO TAKE A VACATION. I'M SURE THAT YOU CAN HANDLE HIM YOURSELF."

"Of course," McGonagall said.

"GOOD GIRL!" Death said and then vanished.

McGonagall was shaken from her visit with Death and she hoped that Lily found a way back to Hogwarts.

11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

Lily appeared outside the gates and looked up at the castle. True she loved being with her husband but she missed her son and Severus. She had learned a lot from being dead and she was happy that she might have a second chance at being with the people that really cared about her. Suddenly she heard movements and bolted for the gates, sending up a warding spell as she went. Good things she did because Dumbledore and Slughorn had just appeared. They couldn't get past the ward so they knew they had to wait.

She entered the castle and the first thing that she saw was Snape. He stared at her and then said, "No, this isn't-."

"Dumbledore brought me back," Lily said, "Please I need to see the Headmistress."

"I-"

"Please," Lily begged.

"Fine but I don't believe for once that you're really Lily," Snape said to her.

Lily fully understood and she hoped that he would believe her.

When they entered the Headmistress office McGonagall stood up and went over to her, hugging her.

"Where you followed?" McGonagall asked her.

"Yes, Dumbledore and Slughorn," Lily said, "Gods I was in the Underworld and now I'm here. What's Dumbledore planning?"

"He wants to take over the entire Wizarding World," McGonagall said, "And right now he's forcing Harry's hand."

She saw Snape looking at her. "Why?"

"Because, Severus, he wants war," McGonagall said, "At least that's what I'm getting."

"I saw the Death Eaters get judged," Lily said, "They were really scared."

"I know and I promised the children that their deaths would be avenged," McGonagall told her.

"I'm glad," Lily said.

"So what are we going to do now?" Snape asked.

"We'll have to tell Harry that his mum is back due to Dumbledore," McGonagall told him.

"He won't believe it," Snape told her.

"I know he won't but he'll believe that Dumbledore would do something like this,"

McGonagall said. "No spell that can be used to bring back the dead, no wonder. Dumbledore had created it so that he could bring back all the pawns that he wanted."

"True," Lily said.

The next morning Lily was there when Harry was summoned to the Headmistress office. She knew that he had no idea why and when she told him what had happened he stared at her.

"Are you telling me that my mum is back," Harry said.

"Yes, I am," Lily said and she revealed herself.

Let's just say there were a lot of tears.

"So where did Harry go?" Hermione asked.

"No clue," Nott said, "He just said that the Headmistress wanted to see him."

"I hope he's not in trouble," Hermione said, frowning.

"I highly doubt that," Nott said, though he wasn't sure if he believed his own words.

111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

Note: Well Lily is back and she's going to kick Dumbledore's butt. I'll post tomorrow.
