Harry felt a a deep, soul crushing tiredness that had become a part of him since his fifteen. Year, after year he was somehow put into mortal perial that should have been impossible to escape from, let alone win.
He was barely sixteen and Voldemort had decades of magical experience but he perserved. He learned and focused on things he did know and took them to the highest level possible.
Apparition, transfiguration, charms, Occlumency. It also helped that one of his friends was a literal genius and he was no dunderhead.
It also helped that when he turned seventeen he received two journals; One from his mother lily about the subjects she was most interested in such as charms, potions and later in life, blood magic.
And other from his father; James about transfiguration and few pro tips about dueling at the higher level. Take all that with his own interests, and knowledge along with his title as the Master of Death and you get a wizard that was Voldemort's equal.
It was, still is, a tough road. And 'NOW' he was in a alternate dimension looking fourteen with Voldemort running around somewhere.
If Harry was lucky he was stuck in the same postion as he was but considering he was dead and buried in a unmarked grave most likely the Dark tosser was in this life manged to separate him from his parents, and kill him.
His Tom has probably combined with that voldemort and now has the power of two fully realized dark wizard with absolutely nothing standing in his way.
'Why, why I'm I fates bitch? Was I a bad person in another life? Did I hurt someone?' Harry thought as he walked through Diagonally with the moons light beating down on him with transfigured clothes; blue jeans, green shirt, and black boots.
He walked towards the Daily Prophet ready to spend hour, days, weeks learning all he could about this world right up until he saw the headline of today's paper. "Quidditch World Cup 1994: Who Will Win?!" it took only a moment before Harry mind was filled with memories of that horrific day and if his theory was true then it would become a thousand times worse.
Without hestaintion and without thought Harry did what he always does and leaped with both feet towards the unknown and apparited towards Dartmoor national park where the campsight should be.
Two twin boys with silky smooth dark brown almost black hair held onto their parents hands, their amber brown eyes were filled with curiosity and wonder. "Ma!" "Dad!" the two cried out in the same time. "This place is amazing!" one twin exclaimed while the other nodded in agreement.
Their father who stood at six foot laughed and ruffled his son's hair causing them both to giggle. "Good! I'm glad your guys are enjoying yourselves." he quickly pushed his glasses back against his nose and turned slightly towards his teenage daughter who was an almost perfect mix between him and his wife.
She had long messy auburn red hair, with tanned skin, a small button nose, and a narrow face with hazel brown eyes. "Rose! How are you liking the place?" the girl put on a thinking pose for a moment and gave a two thumbs up with a chessy smile that causing her mother to roll her eyes and laugh.
"You get more and more like Sirius everyday my little rosebud." the petite woman told the girl who smiled in gratitude.
"Thank you Mama." Rose stated and hugged the woman from behind.
"Well Sirius is hardly the worst person the emulate my Lilypad" the raven haired man stated with wiggling fingers.
"Yes, yes James." Lily waved him off and hugged her thirteen year old daughter. "Sometimes I wonder why you never married him." James shrugged in reply.
"I probably would have if your sexy self didn't walk into my life." he wiggled his eyebrows at the woman who slapped his arm, trying and failing to keep the smile off her face.
" "Ewww!!" " the twins gagged at their father who chuckled and lifted his two eleven year old sons off the ground onto his shoulders. "Why is Papa such a sap!?" the boy on the right asked with his twin nodding in agreement.
"Now, now boys, trust me, when you find yourselves a women like your mother, you'll understand why Papa is such a Casanova." Lily rolled her eyes at her husband.
"That's not what they said." She told the man who scrutched up his face in thought.
"Are you sure? I'm pretty sure that's what they said." she shook her in denial at her husband.
"Nope." James shook his head in disagreement, knowing what his ears had told him.
"Yep." Lilly and Rose shook their heads together.
" "Nope." " James let his head lose strength at his sons words causing his family to laugh.
"Hey your suppose to be on my side Evan, Derek!" James whined slightly at his sons who simply patted his head in comfort.
Several explosions went around the camp sight. "Aghhh!!" "Death Eaters!!" Run! Run for your lives!!" "Dear GOD!! He's back!!" James immediately set his sons down and drew his wand.
"Lily take the kids and run!" the red head nodded and took the twin in her arms and turned towards her frighten.
"You have to keep up Rose, no matter what happens, no matter what you see, Do. Not. Stop. Running." the girl nodded and they took off in the opposite direction of the chaos.
James felt his breath hitch looking at the form of the greatest monster the Wizarding world has ever known." James how good to see you, I was hoping to run into you here!" James eyes widen at the man before narrowing.
The ravenette quickly shot off several spells in quick succession at the dark wizard who quickly sweeped them away with the tip of his wand with no strain what's so ever. "I don't care what happens to me Voldey but I won't let you hurt my family again!" the dark lord didn't so much to twitch.
"Oh James, I'm not here for your family," the red eyed man paused for a moment and shook his head. "Actually, yes I am but not for the reasons you think." he explained and snapped his fingers two of his Death Eater disapparitied and a few seconds they reappeared with with his entire family held at wand point.
"Fuck!!" James raged at the man who simply smiled. "Ava.." he was quickly stroke in the chest with a paralyzing spell, snapping his limbs tightly together.
"Don't worry James I'm not going to kill them," Voldemort rolled his eyes back and forth. "Well I won't kill them right now. You see, your family is going to be used as a barging chip to defeat my true enemy, my only equal." James eyes narrowed and tried moving.
"Albus will never be defeated by the likes of you!! He will never stop fighting you!" Lily screamed, trying to rip herself from one of her capture's and Voldemort snorted.
"Him? No I'm not talking about Albus fucking Dumbledore, I out stripped him in power and skill in my fourties." Lily went still at his words. "No I'm talking about a man who has fought me his entire life and kept stopping all my plans right in there tracks. I'm talking about a man who at this very moment is desperately trying to locate me across Dartmoor. Who, if I'm right has lost all his advantages against me and will finally, finally die tonight leaving the entire world to me." he cackled with a large, inhuman grin causing the Potter children to whimper at the sight.
"Yes." Voldemort whispered opening his mind and forcing the imagine of the Potter family through his metal connection to Harry. "Victory is so close I can taste it." he licked his lips.
"CRACK!!!"
"TOM!!" a young voice roared in fury the very air slightly distorting by his very magic.
"Harry! I'm glad you could make it." Voldemort clapped in slight excitment. "This must be unfamiliar sight to you isn't it? Your family alive," Voldemort narrowed his eyes before the widen in fake realization. "but then again maybe not as they are only moments away from death."
Lily eyes looked at the young boy across from her in disbelief. "Har..Harry." she whispered feeling tears gather at the corner of her eyes."That's... that's not possible." tears flowed from her face.
"Mama, who... who is he? why did... why did Vo..voldemort say we're family?" Rose asked the older woman who confusion and fear clear in her voice.
"That's... I think that's your older brother." Rose blinked along with the twins who took a closer look at the teen and saw a uncanny resemblance to their father but with their mother's eyes.
"Merlin's beard." the young red head whispered as Harry stood tall and with confidence that she only saw in her father and Uncles as he strutted towards the man the entire world feared.
"Take another step and I'll slaughtered them again." Voldemort stated in a cold, lifeless voice stopping the boy in his tracks and Rose felt the bile in her thoart rise.
"What did he mean again." Rose asked with fear and Lily simply shrugged, lost as her daughter.
"You've been a thorn in my side for too long Potter!" he spat at the boy who kept an indifferent expression. "So you will stand there and die and if you do, your parents and sibling can walk away." Lily shook her head and felt tears fall from her face.
She just got her son back. Someway, somehow her son was safe, she couldn't lose him again!!
"Not again, not again! Please don't hurt him! Don't take him away again." Harry momentarily made eye contact with the woman and she felt her breath hitch.
"I'm not their son." Lily felt her heart break at his words, felt the hope in chest vanish. "You know that, my parents died for me when I was child, these people mean nothing to me." Rose looked at boy in hurt before her face twisted in a scowl.
"Come off it Harry!" Voldemort laughed. "I can feel your emotions! No matter how strong your shields are, when were this close to one another I will always know what you feel and you feel nothing but love for these people. The moment you laid eyes on your siblings I literally felt your heart swell, it's disgusting really." Rose's scowl dropped and her confusion increase while Lily eyes gained their light again.
"You and I both know that despite them not being the actual people who made you, these are the people they could have been, these are the sibling you could have had and that's enough for you to immediately place them into heart. If you have any weakness, its no matter what you've been through, your heart is always big enough for another person and that's what's going to make you stand right there as I kill you." Evan and Derek felt so lost right now, apparently they have an older brother who was Voldemort's greatest enemy but as they saw Harry sigh and close his eyes exactly like their father when he was about to give in to they're demands they knew they shouldn't keep quiet anymore.
"Don't do it Big brother!" Evan screamed, trying to get his sibling attention.
"We want to get to know you, and pull pranks on..with you!" Derek stated with a blush, after tripping over his words.
" "So please don't die! Please!!" " the begged together and Rose nodded along.
Harry blinked at his family and smiled at them, they felt there hearts swell thinking they convinced there new brother. "Swear to me on your magic you'll release all of them and make sure your followers won't harm them in any shape or form if I let you kill me." he stated and the three sibling faces fell and there mother screamed trying to escape the hold the Death Eater had on her.
Voldemort laughed and turned towards the shock children. "If there's one thing you should know about Harry Potter kids is that when he loves you, he will do absolutely anything for you, the moment you called him your brother you sealed his fate." Voldemort twirled around and rasied his wand.
"I, Lord Voldemort swear on my magic that I nor those who bare my mark will harm James or Lily Potter nor their three children if Harry James Potter dies by my hand this night. So mote it be." Harry nodded and closed his eyes ready for his fate.
Voldemort's wand began glowing green with pure power, and as he was about to cast the killing curse a red light striked the monstrous man hand and his wand flew out of his hand.
Several loud cracks were heard and Harry eyes snapped opened seeing several Aurors surrounding the Death Eaters with wand pointed at there heads and other escorting the Potters away from the battle zone.
"Took you long enough Pads!" James called and Sirius patted the man's shoulder in comradery
"Sorry Prongs, trying to find the right moment to intervene." the long haired ravenette replied before his eyes fell onto the James look alike. "So what will are we going to do with... um.
Harry?" The man shrugged looking lost as his bestfriend, wife and children.
Voldemort sighed causing most of the people to tense. "This is what happens when I try the easy way, I knew you were weaken but despite that knowledge I tired to take the safer route and now I'm surrounded by Auors." the man shook his head in disappointed. "I'm guessing our deal is off?" he asked and Harry nodded.
"Yeah." the teen simply nodded Voldemort rubbed his temples before raising his hand and releasing a green bolt of energy full of hate and malice that Harry blocked with a beam of power full of peace and love.
"Shit!" James cursed in surprise and before long a full on battle began.
Harry forced the killing curse back and broke the stream of power the dark lord had. Both Wizards reach out their hands and summoned wands that from down Death Eaters.
the ravenette released yellow lightning from the tip of his wand as Voldemort raised the ground to block the spell before transfiguring the wall into spikes and directed them towards the teen who with pure skill and precision dodged the spikes, destroying them as he created a shield to block a snake of fire and manipulated the shield into a bubble to contain the dark fire magic.
Harry took a deep and spit up some blood from his mouth as he shrinked the bubble as small as he could and froze it through,letting it fall to the ground and shatter.
Harry coughed several times, whipping his nose from the blood that was leaking from it, he dropped to his knees in exhaustion but continued to swip away several spells from Tom and several of his followers that were still conscious.
"Haha! Look at you Potter, on knees like you were always meant to be." The man laughed at the pathetic sight as several Auors shot different colored spells at him that he froze in midair and sent back, knocking all of them on their backs. "I know this isn't your original body which means it's filled to the brim with the magic of Archmagus. That much magic forcible squeezed inside a ill equipped container? Frankly I'm surprised you didn't immediately explode after your first high level spell." Harry tried to retort but vomited a good amount of blood onto the ground.
Lily shook off one of the Aurors and ran towards her son who looked towards her and sent her back with a push of his magic finally burning out the wand he took.
"You must be ashamed Harry! No wand," his eyes looked towards the burnt wood that was barely holding together. " No title," Harry fell to his elbows. "A body that can barely hold your magic." Harry tried to take a deep breath only fall into a coughing fit. "You are no longer my equal." he shook his head with a smirk.
"I really was to cautious. I could have killed you immediately and be done with it." he tossed the broken wand away from his grip and summon his from one of the shaking aurors. "After I'm done with you, I'll kill everyone here, then Dumbledore and the world Will. Be. Mine!" he screamed sent the killing curse to the boy.
"No!!" Lily screamed and tried escaping Sirius renewed hold on her. Harry himself didn't even raise his head but smiled when a familar wave of magic met his senses. "Squeak!" Fawkes fell to the ground died and Harry let out a sigh of relief.
'Two buckets of mint.' he thought to himself.
"Tom, it was a mistake for you to come here." a pale, old man with wrinkles on ever corner of his face with dazzling white hair and a beard reaching his chest appeared wearing a bright blue robes and Voldemort rolled his eyes at the man surpising the ancient wizard.
"Yeah, no. I'm no longer afraid of you Dumbledore." Albus raised a eyebrow at the statement, "You will never kill me, your too much of a coward. To stuck on your moral high ground to actually do something and stop me. After years of fighting a true warrior who would sacrifice everything he holds dear just for a chance to kill me I've realized how childish and foolish my fear of you actually was." Harry struggled onto his feet and summoned another wand to his hand and stood up.
"Love you too Tommy." Harry slurred his words and pointed his wand towards the ground and made a large spike that he directed towards Tom as the man apparited he forced the spike to separated down to the tip and as the red eyed monster telported across the ground.
Harry apparited his body towards his blind spot and waved off a spell the dark wizard sent out and quickly transfigured the spikes into hundreds of humming birds and charmed them into attacking and then exploding when making contact at Voldemort.
"BOOM!" "BAM!" "BOOM!" Harry once again vomited an unhealthy amount of blood, and passed out against the cold hard ground a moment later James rushed over and pulled him far away from the second half of the battle where several Aurors were waiting along with Lily, their three children kept at arms length from the unconscious body.
Voldemort sighed and with a wave of his wand every hummingbird disintegrated. "You truly are no match for me Dumbledore, and without my fear holding me back your as good as dead." he rasied his wand transfiguring pebbles into a dozen ravansish lions that leaped towards the ancient wizard who waved him wand and banished them away.
Another wave and the grass elongated and streched across the Death Eaters and Voldemort.
It rotted against Voldemort's pale skin and several dozen crystals formed in the air and flew towards the his enemies. Albus created a fire shield with little difficulty that melted the crystals away.
Lily held her son's body in her arms as James waved his wand across his prone body. "Ubi iniurias." a blue glow encompassed Harry and a list of injuries entered the brown haired man's head. "Several of his organs are bleeding and his magical core is severally exhausted. He also has magical burns across his left arm." Lily whimpered as she held the ravenette's head close to her chest.
Sirus and several Auror's surrounded Harry's body. "Let's preform organum restituet and then Auror Potter will preform the magically core restoration before the boy suffers perment injury and magical loss." everyone nodded and pointed their wands at the unconscious boy.
"Organum restituet!" "Organum restituet!" "Organum restituet!!" "Organum restituet!!" "Organum restituet." " "Organum restituet." "Organum restituet!!!" every Auror chanted the spell while James bit his lip with a little too much force and was so distracted that a stray dark spell almost hit him.
"James now!" the Head of the Potter House nodded and pointed his wand towards his supposed son and Lily quickly followed his lead. " "Restituere magicae, magicae Noli enim mori!" " " "Restituere magicae, magicae Noli enim mori!!" " a bright green glow encompassed his body and both parents felt a deep exhaustion and their magic depeting to dangerous low levels.
Harry eyes snapped open and lily released a sob before a giant flame dragon flew from Voldemort's wand and tried to kill his reawaken opposition.
Harry quickly raised his hand. "Rigescunt Indutae!" the dragon turned to pure ice and shattered across the plain.
"Don't use you magic!" Sirius bellowed to the boy who struggled to his feet. "We don't have another magical donner to help you if you over tax your core again!" the lily tried to keep the boy from standing on his feet.
Harry took a breath apparited next to Dumbledore who looked towards the boy in surprise and Tom sighed. "Accio lost wand." a abandoned magical focus flew to his hand.
"I see your chanting spells, so sad." Voldemort faked concern and Harry snarled in reply.
All the Aurors stood up and prepared to back up the two wizards. "Looks like the table have turned Tommy now you can handle Dumbledore Or I on your own but together and eight highly skilled Aurors at our backs, I think even you know your outmatched right now." the pale skinned dark wizard superior face dropped into a scowl.
He looked at his Death Eaters either dead, trapped or unconscious and the enemies he now had to face alone with half his reserves gone.
After a moment a wave of intense magic encompassed the entire area and he along with all his followers disapparitied and the now fourteen year old boy sighed in relief and dropped on his ass.
After a second he heard a cough and looked up towards several eyes that wanted awnsers and without a drop hestaintion disapparitied from the area.
"Fuck!" James bellowed and Rose eyes widen with hurt and disbelief that was mirrored by her mother and brothers.
"Dont worry James we'll find him." Sirius told his friend who rubbed his forhead.
Albus cleared his thoart and with a smile pointed his wand where Harry dissappraited from. "Redi." a large crack was heard and the clone of James starred wide eyed at the group of Auors and his 'family.'
He soon sighed and looked towards Dumbledore with a slight glare. "Your going to keep doing that until my magical reserves run dry, aren't you?" the grand wizard simply smiled.
Harry rolled his eyes and threw his second-hand wand away and dropped to his knees with his hands behind his back and laid his forehead against the grass. "What are you doing?" the head of the black house asked with confusion.
"I know protocol." Sirius looked at James who once again bit his lip and looked towards his silently begging wife before rubbing his eyes from beneath his glasses.
"Arrest him and prepare Veritaserum." Lily felt her heart break as magical rope was tied around her son's hands and he was hauled to his feet without any resistance.
A moment later he and two Aurors disappeared most likely back to the Ministry.
"I'm coming too." Lily announced to her husband and James seemed ready to argue before she glared at him with her fericest, nastiest, coldest glare he had ever seen and simply nodded.
" "We want to come too!" " the twins exclaimed together with Rose nodding along with a resolute frown.
James sighed before simply nodding.
Harry was thrown into a interrogation room by an Auror and was left their for several long minutes. A moment later the man who could have been his father in another life stepped in with his dead Godfather.
Sirius stepped besides Harry and fished out a bottle of Veritaserum, the once Potter Scion opened his mouth and sticked out his tongue without wait and the raven haired man squeezed out three drops.
After a moment Harry felt a his sense of self fade away leaving behind someone who only knew of Harry Potter. "What's your name?" James asked with a hard yet hopeful tone.
"I have many names, many titles." Harry responded with a blank tone and both men sighed.
"What are they?" Sirius asked and his friend shot him a annoyed look.
"The Boy-Who-Lived, The Man-Who-Conquered, The Master of Death, The Rival, The Liar, The Chosen One, The Golden Boy, Boy, Freak, The Champion, Harry James Potter." Both Aurors blinked at the many names he seemed to have but both held their breath at the last one.
"So you are my son?" James asked with dread, anger and above all hope, aware that his family and most likely Dumbledore were on the other side of the Window watching this.
"No." he told the man who seemed to deflate on himself but Sirius quickly asked another question.
"Then who are your parents." He asked.
"James Potter and Lily Potter nee Evans." James head shot up with a look of confusion.
"If you are James Potter son, and he is James potter," Sirius pointed at his friend. "Then how are you not his son?" Harry remained quiet for a few seconds.
"I come from a different world where my parents; James Potter and Lily Potter nee Evan died. They are my parents, you and her are just the people who could have been them." James and Sirius didn't looked shocked at the information as they should be, of course they both made their own ideas as they heard the conversation the boy and Voldemort had.
"So your really not 'my' son?" James asked with heartbreaking tone.
"No, not really." Sirius cleared his thoart.
"I'm assuming, that since He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named knows who you are, he's not are version of him?" He asked putting together the clues he was given.
"Depends." James sighed at the answer.
"What does it depend on."
"Well when I arrived I was seven feet under the ground trapped in a baby's rotting corpse, It took me months to make a ritual to age the body and bring it back to life and once I did I realized it was the body of my counterpart, so that means Tom most likely merged with his counterpart. So if the counterpart was dead then, yes he was my version but if he was alive then a argument could be made that he is neither my version or your version but a mixture of the two." James was about two seconds away from vomiting as his not son explanation.
'He was stuck in my son's rotting corpse?!' James thought in horror and disgust.
"Is.. is that bad?" Sirius asked with clear fear. "Will he more powerful then before?"
"Maybe, my magical core is still intact despite this body being dead for over fourteen years, so that means when I traveled here my magic traveled with me, if your Tom was alive when the merge happened then this new version could be twice as powerful." Both men felt a chill travel through them at the thought.
"How do you and He.. Tom," Sirius began asking. "know each other?"
"There was a Prophecy saying that either I or Neville Longbottom would one day defeat him, he choose me and has been a thorn in my side since." James eyes widen and he began to wonder how similar their two realities were.
"We had a prophecy like that too, Do.. do you know who leaked the prohocey to.. Tom?" Sirus laid a hand on James shoulder trying to calm him down.
"Severus Snape." the raven haired men teeth grided together at the name and anger busted from his body.
"Snivillus?! Of course it was that greasy haired bastard! I'm going to kill him!!" James roared with fury at the person responsibility at sending his son to his death.
"We don't know if that's true here James! You need to calm down." Sirius tried to calm the man. "We need to see how much our two worlds match, for all we know his could be nothing like ours." James looked away and nodded after a moment.
"When were you born?"
"July thirty first, nineteen-eighty."
"Who was your Godfahter?"
"Sirius Black."
"Did you have any siblings?"
"No, I was an only child." the two men looked at each other in confusion.
"Lily and I always talked about having several children why would we stop?"
"They didn't have a choice, they died after my first birthday." James eyes widen at that nugget of information.
"On October thirty first, nineteen-eighty one right?" Harry nodded in confirmation and James felt something break; so in one reality his son diedd leaving him and Lily broken and in another they died leaving their son to fend for himself?
"What is England's Magical school called?"
"Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
"What are Hogwarts Four houses?"
"Gryffindor, Hufflpuff, Slytherin, and Ravenclaw."
"Who is the headmaster of Hogwarts?"
"Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore."
"Head of each house in the order you gave before." Sirius asked.
"Minerva McGonagall, Pomona Sprout, Severus Snape, and Filius Flitwick."
"Head of Ministry of Magic?"
"Cornelius Oswald Fudge who was then cast out after his destrious hadleing of Tom's return and was replaced by Rufus Scrimgeour who was murdered and replaced by one of Tom's followers by the name Pius Thicknesse." James eyes widen at the familar name.
"What? No! I know Pius, he's a good man." James exclaimed in shock and anger before he was calmed down by a gently hand of his friend.
"Can you tell us any differences you've seen?" Sirius asked.
"Your an Auror, this world's timeline is seven years behind my own." Sirius looked confused.
"I've always wanted to be a Auror, what was I in your world?" he asked with some hestaintion.
"Your were imprisoned for twelve years before breaking out." Both men eyes widen at the information.
"Why was I imprisoned?!" the raven haired Black asked with anger, wondering how different his counterpart was to himself.
"Peter Pettigrew framed you for the murder of fourteen muggles and his own death after betraying my parents." Sirius looked both relived that he wasn't some evil Death Eater in another reality but also sick to his stomachs of what actually happened.
"But there's no way that would hold up in a trial!? They could check my wand, my memories?! How was I imprisoned?" he asked with rage dripping from his tongue.
"You had a mental breakdown after realizing your best friends were died because of your other bestfriend. You went to confort him and he started yelling about how you betrayed my parents, he then cast some curse that killed fourteen muggles and cut his finger off before transforming into a rat and escaping. After realizing what had happened you started laughing and cackled how you killed my parents. That was as a good as a confession for the head of Magical Law Enforcement at the time; Barty Crouch Sr. who snapped your wand on site and tossed you in Azkaban without a trail." the two men sat stunned at the infomation given to them.
"And everybody just believed it?! No one thought anything wrong of me not having a trail? What.. what about Mooney?! He couldn't have believed it?!" Harry stared blankly ahead.
"Rita Skeeter caught your emotional break down." Sirius groaned at that nugget of info. "And Corch Sr. was under pressure to capture as many Death Eaters as possible, So he falsified trial records to speed up the process thinking he knew who was guilty and who wasn't." the two Aurors couldn't believe their ears. "Also everybody thought you were the secret keeper when my parents went into hiding since you were James's best and closest friend and when they died, blame was immediately set on your shoulders."
After a moment the older Potter turned to the Black. "Merlin's hairy nutsack! We need to retrial every Death Eater don't we?" James questioned his friend who shrugged in reply before something clicked in his head.
"Wait!" Sirius exclaimed. "I was your Godfather and since I was in Azkaban who took you In?" James eyes widen and stared at his son from another Universe.
"My mother's sister and her husband; Vernon Dursley and Petunia Dursley nee Evans." James gagged at the thought.
" "Whose brilliant Idea was that?! Petunia hates magic!" " both men snarled togehter.
"Dumbledore didn't want me to become arrogant from being the only person to have survived the Killing Curse and my mother also studied blood magic that protected me from said curse so in exchanged for her life, a blood relative could take me in and I would be protected from all dangers until I reached magical maturity." James looked at the window where he knew his wife was standing behind.
"Were... were you abused?" James asked with some hestaintce, knowing Petunia and her toxic jealousy and hoping that it died down for the sake of his not son.
"Yes, I was starved for long periods of time, kept in a enclosed space without light for several days, I was whipped and beaten a few times and was forced to cook and clean for them." James face twisted into a harsh scowl that was matched by Sirius which became more produced when they heard a wail from the observation room.
"I think we got all we need, why don't we give him the antidote?" Sirius asked and James nodded after a moment.
Sirius stood up and walked around to the teen and was seconds away from reversing the effects. "Wait." Sirius stilled his hand.
"...Do you really not consider me your dad, or Lily your mom?" James asked with a soft tone.
"No." James looked down, before asking another question.
"Then why did you protect us, why did you almost sacrifice yourself for us?"Sirius looked at the blank face teen.
"Because your still Harry James Potter's father and I am Harry James Potter." James looked confused and looked towards his bestfriend who seemed to be in thought before snapping his fingers.
"Your talking about intellectually! The fact is the Potter family isn't really yours since you come from another universe but emotionally, despite knowing they aren't your real family you still love them?" he asked and James looked hopeful for a moment.
"Yes." James looked ready to cry and a moment later the door swung open revealing a crying Lily who walked over to the raven haired teen and hugged him tightly.
"I love you to, Harry." she whimpered in his shoulder and after a moment Rose walked into the room with her brother and James sighed and waved them in.
A moment later three fourths of the family was hugging Harry and James stood up wrapped his arms around the boy. Sirius poured the antidote for the Veritaserum down the boy's thoart and the green eye man in a teen's body blinked before a large sigh broke from his mouth.
