'CRACK'
Three figures appeared on the front lawn of number 12 Grimmauld place that night. These figures were the Potters, and two of them were supposed to be dead.
"Come with me" ,Said Harry as he walked to the front door, "I have some veritaserum in my office."
The elder Potters followed Harry to the house , which James recognized immediately.
"What are we doing at padfoots house?" He didn't know what had become of his best friend, and was worried about why his son was living here.
"Sirius Black died in 1995. Since he was my godfather, he left it to me." Harry said as he unlocked the house.
James didn't know what to think. His best friend- no more like a brother- was dead.
"H-how did he die?"
Harry answered with a surprised look and said " Shouldn't you know? Your a death eater."
But James didn't know and kept on asking. "Please tell me. Please. He was my best friend. I want to know how he died. Please."
Harry sighed " Fine. Sirius died fighting death eaters in the department of mysteries. He fell through the veil."
James remembered all the times he had with Sirius black. All the pranks they pulled under the cloak. All the detentions they had gotten into in their Hogwarts days. The look on his face when he ran away from his home and came to his. All that and he was dead. Even worse was that James has died before him, and the grief he had felt was probably immense.
While he was thinking, Harry had opened his door and told them to wait outside.
"Ginny!! Get me the veritaserum from my office!"
Ginny? Who was that? Maybe a girlfriend? As I looked inside I saw a girl with crimson red hair at the door. Her face was splattered with freckles, and she was holding a baby. Who's baby was that? Surely it wasn't Harry's. I'm to young to be grandfather.
"Here Harry. What do you need it for?"
" Ginny, I found my parents alive at the graveyard. I need to prove it's them." Harry said to the girl- or Ginny as he called her.
"Harry, you know that's impossible. Dumbledore said so. No spell or potion can awaken the dead."
"I know Ginny, but I have to make sure."
"Well, ok then. Be careful."
"I will."
James watched as Ginny gave Harry the potion, and his son turned toward him.
"You first. Drink half", Harry said as he gave the bottle to James, "but save the rest for her.", indicating to Lily.
James drank half the potion, feeling as if he should spill every secret he had.
"What is your name?"
"James Fleaumont Potter"
Harry's face became sickly white, although James couldn't tell whether it was the moonlight reflecting off his skin or the blood draining from his face.
"W-what was your hogwarts house"
"Gryffindor"
"Turn into prongs"
James was taken aback by this question, he and his friends were the only ones ones who knew about their animangus forms. Stepping back, he transformed into a stag. Harry paled even more at this and whispered something incoherent.
"What?"
"I asked how to activate the maruaders map."
James was even more confused at this. Filtch had confiscated the map in their last year, how would Harry know about the map? But his mouth, under the influence of truth potion, replied anyways.
"I solemnly swear I am up to no good."
Harry visibly paled even more, if possible.
"Um ok, let's do you now." , pointing to Lily.
Lily drank the rest of the potion, her eyes glassing over.
"What is your name?"
"Lily J. Potter."
"Maiden name?"
"Lily J. Evans"
"Patronus?"
Lily pulled her wand out, saying the charm.
'Expecto Patronum!'
A silver doe erupted from her wand, dancing around the trio.
"W-what is your house?"
"Gryffindor, same as James."
Harry looked shocked to say the least. He invited them inside before giving them the counter potion. Harry then left the room to deal with some business.
Turning around, I took in my surroundings. There was a bookshelf, a couch, and a table. A black box was on the wall, and so were some pictures. I looked at the pictures, seeing a a family in one. There was a Harry and Ginny, and two other boys smiling in the frame. Another picture had a third child, a baby. Before I could look at them more, Harry entered the room with Ginny.
"Hey Harry, who are the kids?"
Harry looked at the pictures, and smiled.
"You'll meet them soon enough."
They welcomed us into the house, giving us some dinner and leading us to a guest room. Before we got into bed I looked at Lily. We both had the same questions. Why were we here? How were we here? What had happened while we were dead? And the most important, was Voldemort dead? Were we safe?
