Frank came with family and surprisingly Professor McGongall. She came forward and hugged James and Lily and then went over to Sirius and hugged him and then whacked him on his head and said," you find it absolutely necessary to do things to send me to an early grave, don't you ? Did you really think that I wouldn't recognise you handiwork with the golum dropped of on Privet Drive."

Everyone stared at her. She truly was one smart cat.

James said," How ?? What ?? No..!!"

The professor arched her eyebrow and looked at him", just because I turn a blind eye to your antics, don't take me to be a fool, Mr Potter."

At this point Hermione lost and started laughing out at the expressions the marauders had. Everyone joined in.

Minerva came forward and caressed her chin and said " My dear child, it warms my heart to see you back with us. I wish you mother and father were with us . Alas !!"

James slapped his forehead and ran to his father's study and looked at the portraits of the elder Potter couple. It was frozen like the other in the manor. He quickly went to ward stone and chanted to unfreeze them.

The portraits awaken and looked around and his parent looked at him longingly. He understood what new they were expecting.

He nodded his head and motioned towards the living room. He then walked and could see his parents moving in the portraits.

He rejoined the group and sat next to his sister. " Mia, our parents has their portraits made but instructed me to awake them when you returned to us. I would like to introduce to you Charlus and Dorea Potter, our parents."

Hermione looked at the couple in the mantle. The man was handsome and broad with the signature messy black hair and the woman was regal and elegant , a true daughter of Blacks. Her eyes filled with tears things of the parents she lost and the ones she never knew but the truth remained that these were her parents.

Charlus said " Princess, I am sorry that I am not there with you physical but know this I have loved you with all my heart and even though this is an imprint of us, it's the truth that we have missed you all through our mortal lives."

Dorea Potter wiped away her tears and said " My dear daughter, you were my pride and I shall love you always. You have the strength and courage of the Potter but also cunning of the Black. Be proud of who you are. I have said this to James and I will tell the same to you my Mia. The house you were born to and the house you will go, they will be remembered after your conduct , wear the name as a badge of honour and live upto the name. Fate may bring different phases but you my daughter have the courage of generations, both of you are our children and we believe you will live upto the Potter name. But in all this never forget to live you life to the fullest , fall deep in love and stay true to it. We both pray to Lady Magic to bless our children and the generation to come have long and fulfilling lives."

Everyone had tears in their eyes from the heartfelt speech from Dorea and Charlus Potter. They touched so many lives and everyone missed them deeply.

Charlus then spoke " I would like to be updated on what has occurred since we last spoke son."

James took a deep breath and related everything from the beginning, from Hermione's arrival the previous evening.

By the time he was finish he was exhausted and his parents were seething in anger and other emotions. He could bet his entire fortune that Dumbledore would not have survived his parents had they been alive.

His father asked," James, why don't you have the cloak with you. What possessed you to give it to him like that. Didn't I make it very clear that it had to stay with you always?"

James looked at his father shamefaced" I am sorry dad, after your death I was lost and couldn't focus on which direction to move and welcomed Dumbledore's guidance and when he asked to examine the cloak I obliged. But I don't understand what the cloak had to do with the events."

His father sighed and said" my son the cloak was handed down by generation of Potters the cloak hold the family magic of Perevalls and the one who posses the cloaks has be masked from death himself."

James found it hard to digest but somehow felt it is true because of the events that happened on the previous evening.

Charlus continued" I don't know what it means with Hermione having the cloak and having brought it here from the future. But you need to recall the one you gave to Dumbledore."

James startled out of his train of thoughts and asked " Is that possible?"

His father nodded and said" just think about the cloak and say the true cloak of invisibility to me."

James repeated the words and felt the silky material in his hand, fluid like water and light as air. He took it and wrapped it around him and felt the cloak doing its job perfectly and realised that essentially they now had two awesome cloaks.

He settled back near his wife and son while the elves from the manor brought out refreshments and they all continued talking and discussing. Sirius and Hermione kept looking at each. Their minds on the behaviour of the raven totum. Both had million questions but were scared to go through the line of thought. Sirius knew he needed to talk to Aunt Cassie immediately before his head and heart go crazy with hope.

Hermione didn't know what she was expecting but she felt hopeful ,a lot , but her brain was currently on overdrive. She had many things to do but somehow she wanted time to stop for sometime so that she could think through about what she felt for Sirius. There was a swirl of emotions where he was concerned. Her crush from when she was 15, it didn't quite go away inspite of his death back in the future.

Thinking back now, the sixth year didn't make sense. She was in grief after Sirius's death , for some reason she was heartbroken and then she felt attracted to Ron and the jealousy she felt towards Harry and Lavender, in her heart she knew it was misplaced, it was not needed, the attraction stayed alive till Ron left them in the tent.

Then it dawned, she felt like kicking herself. There should have been potions involved, come to think they may have potioned Harry. He had told her he was attracted to someone and it would create a riot if he went through. At that time she thought it was Ginny and what he meant by riot was the Weasley brothers reaction owing to them being very protective of their only sister.

It was like jigsaw puzzles falling in place. After Ron left Harry stopped talking about Ginny and generally being obsessed about her rather he seem more focused. She felt like an idiot for not noticing.

Well she decided no more. They will never be able to get near Harry again.

She was lost in her thoughts while Harry toddled towards her and climbed onto her lap. She turned her attention to him and kissed him on the forehead, which resulted in him to start giggling. Everyone looked at the pair amused. It was a sight.

Sirius felt his heart swell, for some reason in his head instead of Harry he saw a little girl with curly black hair and beautiful hazel brown eyes. He shook himself and stood and said" guys I need to met Aunt Cassie to talk about some facts related to the House of Black and also pick her brain about Dumbledore."

James, Frank and Remus got up and went to see him out. Before Sirius could leave James put his hand on his shoulder and said " pads, we need to talk."

He replied " I know, we will . I solemnly swear that we will."

James nodded and said " Be careful."

He nodded and kick off his bike and took into the air.

James went back to the living room and sat down. He continued to watch his wife and sister play with his son. His heart felt full seeing his family here in one place. He could help shudder to think what would have happened if Hermione couldn't save them. To imagine his innocent son growing up with that vile and worthless blubber Vernon Dursley. He felt chills in his spine just thinking.

Meanwhile, Dumbledore was seething and had reduced to destroying his office. He could not for his life understand where his plans had failed. Every small detail was thought out and was to be executed flawlessly. Things did happen as it was meant to be. When Hagrid delivered the Potter brat to the muggles, he told him and Minerva that the Potters and Black were dead. Well Black dead was such a good news for him. Well it reduced the effort of having to silence him. But then not only were they alive, those brats took up their seats on wizengamot against his wishes. Don't they understand that only the ones he wanted there should be there. He was the leader of light. He decided on how things ran. To make things worse those useless death eater couldn't do a mission right atleast they didn't survive. The last thing they needed were to have them blab that Snape gave them the address and the way to break the ward. It would never be traced to him but Snape was too valuable to lost and he was soul that could be recovered. His train of thought was broken when he heard the knock on the door. He fixed his office with a wave of his wand. He check the glass mirror in his desk and saw it was Snape. He calmed himself and answered " come in Severus".

He watched as the dour man came in and sat down with an angry expression.
