Please review. This is my first story and I'd like to know what you all think of this story and I wish but I'm not J.K. Rowling. I don't own anything except the plot. And why does some people think that a fan fiction writer is the J.K. What is this world coming to?

********************************************************************************************

One BIG Surprise

His eyes fell upon a very interesting object. It looked like a pocket sneakoscope. There was one thing different about it. It had a lip. Harry picked it up.

"Harry, you will have great surprises in your future" said the sneakoscope. It then started spinning and showed a red blur. Harry thought this had something to do with the prophesy about great surprises. The sneakoscope started spinning again and with Harry's sharp eye he caught a glimpse of something gold fly around really fast in the image. "A Golden Snitch".

Harry heard Ron's voice call from outside his door. "Harry! Hurry up! We'll be late for breakfast!"

Ok, I'm coming. Don't have a cow over it!"

"Good, we need to hurry. Potions is our first class today. We don't want to be late for Snape's class."

Harry got all his books together and went out the door and met up with Ron. They saw Hermione and met up with her in the common room. Harry made sure no one was listening when he told Ron and Hermione about his new dormitory and all it's gadgets.

"Wow Harry. It would make good old Fred and George jealous. You know how the marauders are their heroes." Said Ron.

"Yea, they would flip at all the things in that loft. When lessons end lets go and explore the rest!" said Ron

"Hey, what about me? I'm your friend too you know."

"I know Herm-o-ninny" said Harry

"Stop calling me that! It's SO annoying!"

As the trio went down to breakfast they met someone very unwelcome in the entrance hall, Draco Malfoy.

" So" said the cold, drawling voice, " It's famous Potty, Weasel and miss. Mudblood, suck-up and scarlet woman." Draco Malfoy was standing in-between his two bodyguards Crabbe and Goyle. They were like dumb and dumber. They were large, strong and stupid as one might call them. They were blocking the way into the great hall.

"Move Malfoy" snarled Ron. Malfoy, as the trio suspected, didn't move.

"Make Me" said Malfoy (d. I LOVE tormenting Malfoy. :))

Just then Professor McGonnagall walked up to them. " Mr. Malfoy! What are you doing blocking the the whole doorway?!"

Malfoy seemed to be struggling with his answer.

"Well if you can't answer me then MOVE! Ten points from Slytherin for your attitude!" Cried McGonnagall.

Harry, Ron and Hermione were pretty happy until they got to their next potions class. It was worse than usual today. Malfoy must have told Snape about the doorway incident. To get even Snape took away a round 50 points from Gryffindor. At the end of the class he remembered the other map. Snape had been plotting to get Harry Potter. He really must be careful around Snape.

When lessons finally ended he took Ron and Hermione up to his new dormitory. He immediately went to the loft while he let Ron and Hermione look around a bit. They both loved the dormitory. When they saw all the marauder's things and all Lily and James's things they gaped. They couldn't believe their eyes. When they started looking at all the things they saw some really wonderful objects that Harry had overlooked. They found directions to do some of the marauder's most famous pranks and they found recipes to all of his mom's favorite foods. Harry looked at the note from Dumbledore once more and saw it had changed.

Dear Harry,

If you would please meet me in the common room at 2:00 in the morning tonight it would be great. I have something important to tell you. Would you please not tell Ron or Hermione about this until after the meeting? Thank you.

Professor Dumbledore

Harry quickly hid the note in his pocket and continued searching through the stuff. All the rest was jewelry, clothes and even love letters from his parents. He couldn't wait for what Dumbledore had to say. He wondered if it was really important. When he finished his homework with Ron and Hermione and they all went up to their separate dormitories. Harry rushed up to his own and finished the homework he had left up in his dormitory. It wasn't due for a while so he decided that he could do it while he waited for 2:00 to come. He had finished his essay on the how the ministry of magic picked beings, beasts and spirits. He looked at his new watch which was one of Dudley's old ones. It was 1:55. He got up and got his invisibility cloak out of his new trunk and went out of his dormitory. When he got to the common room he saw Dumbledore sitting in one of the puffy armchairs near the fire.

"Hello Harry" Dumbledore said as Harry took of the invisibility cloak. "I need to tell you something very important. I hope you find it worth your time as I know you could be fast asleep right now."

"I hope it is worth my while because I am very tired. I just finished an essay for History of Magic and that tired me out" replied Harry. Harry had the distinct feeling that he was being watched.

"Professor Binns does give hard assignments but to get to the point. Harry, those objects in your dormitory are there for a reason. Your dormitory is large for a reason also. You will be sharing it with two other people. And don't worry, I put a spell on your curtains when I got them ready so no one outside them can hear you scream and wake up."

"O good" Harry thought.

" I will introduce to you your new roommates in a second. First I advise you not to scream or give a loud outburst that might wake the other students. Ok?"

"Ok" unsure if he could keep this promise.

"Their names are Lily and James Potter"

Harry looked up at Dumbledore. He didn't believe what Dumbledore said. "How could his parents be here, now? They were dead and there was no spell to awaken the dead."

"Here they are" said Dumbledore pointing to two armchairs away from them. Harry had been so keen on looking and finding Dumbledore that he had overlooked these armchairs. Sure enough there was Lily and James Potter sitting right in front of him. There were looking a bit older than the pictures in Harry's album.

"How can you be here, I mean your dead aren't you?" Harry stuttered.

"O Harry. I've missed you so much" said Lily. "We haven't even been dead all these years. We have been here at Hogwarts and for a while, on Privet Drive. We both have been watching you. We had to be kept secret from everybody because they all thought we were dead. Do you know the story about Sirius and the fidelius charm? Sirius only had the fidelius charm on me and your father and Peter had it on you. You can't do it to a child and an adult at the same time. You must see, Voldemort was more powerful than you could have imagined. He could break the fidelius charm easily. As long as he could get to you with Peter's help he could see all of us. We didn't know he could do that Harry. He tried to kill us but we had, some things that are now in your loft, two vests. They protected the whole body from the avada kedavra curse. The only downside to it is that it leaves you "dead" for about an hour after the curse hits you. See Harry, I didn't die saving you, you saved yourself. We don't know how you survived but after that encounter we were taken to Dumbledore. He knew we weren't actually dead and kept us with him. He told everyone that he needed our bodies for a secret reason. We have been living in Dumbledore's office ever since."

"But how could you have been watching me and not having me see you?" asked Harry.

This time James answered, giving Lily a time to rest. "We have been drinking this potion that has allowed us both to watch you while we are invisible and not solid. We were both in the cupboard under the stairs with you. We were there on the hut on the rock. The only people who know we are still alive are Sirius, Snape, (James said this in a very bitter tone) and good old Dumbledore. Hagrid didn't know that we were still alive so he told you the story about your parents. I can't believe Vernon and Petunia told you that we died in a car crash. We both tried to avoid them when we could. You couldn't help avoiding them on Lily's family occasions like Easter. Even then we never talked. But I must say Mr. Dudley is looking quite big now and he looks really funny when I see him eating his diet. Sorry, I can't go on" James broke down laughing.

Lily was looking at her husband almost disapprovingly. Harry saw that Lily had managed a small smile and soon was laughing too. Harry joined in to see even Dumbledore laughing with them all. Soon Dumbledore got his voice back and whispered, "There's someone coming". Lily and James quickly hid behind their armchairs while the people walked down the staircase. It was, to Harry's great relief Ron and Hermione. Hermione came rushing toward them.

"Harry, Professor Dumbledore, what are you guys doing down here?" said Hermione.

"If Harry wants to say he'll say and if he doesn't you will have to wait" said Dumbledore quietly. Dumbledore turned to Harry, he nodded.

"We'll tell you" said Lily and James. They jumped from behind the armchairs they were hiding behind.

Ron and Hermione almost screamed. Harry put his finger to his mouth to silence them. After Ron and Hermione had heard the story they were both amazed. They couldn't believe their famous orphan friend had a family the whole time. Harry was surprised on how well they both took it.

"Well, lets move you two (he pointed to Lily and James) up to your dormitory. The potion is already up there" said Dumbledore.

"What potion?" asked Harry as soon as Dumbledore had said his last words.

"A potion that will make both of them 16 years old. It is the opposite of the aging potion. How good it will be to have you both back here. Remember, we are the only ones that know about this. And if you three (he pointed to Harry, Ron and Hermione) are going to talk about Lily and James lets call them Jimmy and Lillian ok?" said Dumbledore.

"Ok" the trio said together.

As Ron and Hermione headed to their dormitories Dumbledore, Lily, James and Harry went up the stairs to magnificent dorm. Inside on one of the bureaus was two goblets. Dumbledore led everyone toward them.

"You two will drink this whole cup and you will turn the age of your choice. You better pick 15. When it is time to become your actual ages again you just say Sigossi. Is that understood?"

"Yes", replied Lily and James at the same time.

"You two will be sorted tomorrow at breakfast. I have already told the sorting hat where to put you. It would put you in Gryffindor anyway but it's just a precaution. You two will also get your schedules. You will have the same classes as Harry. And that includes Divination too but please don't be upset. I think spending quality time with your only son is much better than being mad about a class. I must go and also, you beds are over there."

Dumbledore left and the three looked at each other.

"Lets go to bed. It's really late and we have a lot to tell Harry in the morning" said Lily.

" I think we have too much to tell Harry" replied James while he closed the drapes on his own four-poster.
