Disclaimer: In case you haven't noticed by now, I'm Not J.K. Rowling so I don't own the original Harry Potter characters. I do own the plot, and any other characters you know weren't in the book. I wish that I was as talented as Ms. Rowling but seeing as I am not I'll just write a fanfic to help us struggling Harry Freaks (I mean this in the best way, it's an inside joke sorry if you take offense.) until the next book!!!
A/N: This story is a separate story, but it does have flashbacks to another story of mine called Harry Potter and The Betrayal. If you haven't read it that's okay, if you have then this takes place about 15 years later. If you know anything about my previous fics, then you know that I am a hopeless romantic, so even though this story may be about the children on the surface, they are just a top layer to the undercurrent. I am really discouraged at this moment because I know people are reading my story but they aren't reviewing... I wish you would because it helps me to figure out if the direction I am going works or not, and I don't want to have to say I need so many review to add another part, so please don't make me. Also I know that my grammar and spelling isn't the best, I don't mind flames just not about that. Flames about the story's plot are welcomed as are REVIEWS...
A/N: I made a typo in my first chapter, James Potter is alive. This goes back to my story, Harry Potter and the Betrayal... Also if you haven't read that story then you don't know that Harry was taken prisoner and forced to relive the deaths of the people he cared about. Then Voldemort mysteriously let him go. Voldemort never died he just got bored...
AND NOW THE PART YOU ALL ARE LOOKING FOR......
"In the desert of my dreams I saw you there
Walking towards the water steaming,
body cold and bare
but your words cut loose the fire and you left my soul to bleed..." Vox by Sarah McLachlan
Harry Potter and the Return of A Stranger
Harmony combed through her choppy brown hair. Last night she hadn't slept well at all. It was that same dream, with a flash of green light and words, words that weren't English, or were they? Harmony knew the dreams were getting more and more desperate to show their true meaning, but she was as ignorant as before the dreams started. In one she was standing in a dark room, with giant chess pieces. Other times she felt as if she were flying. Some were absolutely marvelous. Others were the most depressing, scary times she had every seen. One she felt as if she were excited for some reason, though she didn't know for what. Sometimes it was hard for her to escape the feelings she had in that world, that dream. The feelings were so amplified in these dreams, more real then those in her own life. In those dreams she had a husband who loved her...
And now could we please clear the floor for the new Bride and Groom, so they may take their first dance.
"You know I love you right?" a tall man with dark messy hair asked. His beautiful emerald eyes reflecting his heart.
"Of course I do, why?"
"Well I just wanted to tell you that I thought you looked beautiful tonight. So young, and then all I could think of was the time that Ron and I locked you in the bathroom. The fear that I saw on your face made me want to protect you forever. I will always protect you even from Voldemort!"
"He wouldn't dare would he? I mean Voldemort no he couldn't, please let's put that name, that evil behind us..."
A family, but they were never solid they were more like phantoms, never fully formed, always present. Harmony was supposed to meet her friend Lisa for lunch. Every Monday the went somewhere new today they were trying a place called the Drippy Cauldron or something like that. Lisa was about 20 years older then her, but they had bonded after Harmony was in the hospital. Lisa was Harmony's nurse and often shared the latest gossip with Harmony. RMT Private Institute, only took in one new case a month,or so Harmony had been told. Then again most the patients had been there their entire life. The owner was a very wealthy man who lived somewhere in Eastern Europe and was never seen. Harmony had gotten so attached to the members of the facility where she was treated that she became a certified nurse's aid so she could help Lisa. ********************************************************
Adia sat in the compartment on the Hogwarts express looking as the houses began fading away. She felt so worried about what had happened. A sense of understanding and confusion came over her that morning. She finally understood why her father was so overprotective. She just wondered why that man had looked at her mum like that. Like he knew who she was. Adia felt bad for the way she had treated her dad last night and apologized. She didn't tell him about the dream figuring she was entitled to her own secrets.
"Earth to Adia. Do you want anything off the cart?" Dario asked. Silke looked at Adia with a questioning eyebrow. They hadn't told Dario about Adia's dream yet. "Later" Adia mouthed to Silke.
Then she turned to Dario, "Yeah I want a bag of Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans." The lady on the cart handed her a bag and Adia handed her 3 sickels and 3 knuts.
"SO, what did I miss, because you two are sitting over there with those silly little looks. I deserve to know!" Dario asked.
"Oh, you mean like I deserved to know about my mum? You were there that day Dario. You could have told me but you didn't."
"But I- well I-uh-I" Dario mumbled
"It's okay I forgive you but still, I wish I would have known. You could have told me last night when I told you about what I read. Instead you kept the bombing a secret." Adia stopped to look at Dario who looked shocked to hear her outburst.
"Listen they told me not to tell you, I couldn't help it. I know I shouldn't have listened to them, I'm sorry. I gues-"
"I forgive you okay, but we need to do something to prevent anything like this from happening again. From now on we tell the adults nothing, and if they tell us to lie to each we won't. Come on put your hands in the circle." Adia said as she put her hand into the middle. As she did the other two.
"How about saying something like, We solemnl-" Adia was interrupted by the sudden jerk of the train. It had stopped. The lights had gone out.
"What the heck?"
******************************************************** Harry had never been one for drinking but he liked the familiarity of a bottle in his hands. He was meeting James, who supposedly had something to tell him. It still felt strange to confide in a father he had once thought to be dead. Infact it was a long time before Harry even acknowledged his father as a part of his life. It had been right around the time Lydia was born.
"Damnit Harry, why do you have to be so stubborn?" Hermione scolded him.
"He knew where I was for 19 years before ever doing anything about it."
"Harry you know how it felt to live without any family. Do you want are son or daughter to live with a grandparent?"
"No, that's what your family is for."
"Were the Dursley's and muggle England enough for you?"
"All right I'll try harder. You know you are way to spoiled..."
"If only I took better care of her. I promised I would." Harry mumbled out loud. Harry's life was filled with "if onlys" and he knew that wasn't anyway to live a life.
"May I sit here?"
Harry looked up shaken from his reflection and saw James Potter standing next to the chair in question.
"Yeah, of course it's okay."
"Good. God, I can't wait to tell you the good news!" James smirked a little at the thought.
"So what are you waiting for?"
"Well I'm kinda waiting for the good news to arrive." James said aloud while thinking to himself, "I hope Lisa does show up." It had taken all of James's cunning to get Lisa to believe him and then to get her to show up.
"Harry what would you do if your Mum or Hermione were to come back into your life?"
********************************************************
"Dario, Silke are you there?" Adia was worried she didn't think this was suppose to happen.
"Yeah, and Dario, what did you just put on my wrist?" Silke said. Seconds before Adia felt something on hers also.
"I didn't put anything on your wrists you put something on mine." Dario drawled back.
"Well somebody did." Adia stated frustratedly. "Shh..., Did you hear that?"
"No. What did it sound like."
"Someone said something it sounded like they were muttering a curse." Adia explained. She was ready to open her mouth one more time to tell her friends to be quiet again when her mind went dark.
********************************************************
Harmony and Lisa were walking down the streets of London, Lisa looked nervous about something.
"Lisa are you okay? You look kind of nervous."
"Yes I'm okay, but to tell the truth I am a bit nervous. We're meeting James."
Lisa had told Harmony all about James. They had met one day by accident. Then they started "seeing" each other. Lisa had become a lot more open since then.
"Oh, so we're meeting that strange man from the street?" Harmony said as straight faced as she could, but it didn't do any good and she laughed.
"Honestly, one would think we were teenagers. Beside's he isn't homeless and he isn't that strange. He has been a tremendous help, I can remeber my life before RMT!"
"I believe you fancy him!"
"Well that may be, but well he thinks he could help you. And well I think that you need all the help you can get. I see your face in the morning, you're having those dreams, the same ones I had."
"And I suppose he is supposed to help me. I mean is he a doctor or something, heaven knows I've had enough of them."
"No he's not a doctor, he just know what he's talking about. What I mean is that he has opened up a whole new world to me. One that I thought would never be there. One in which my dreams make since. You know that American movie, The Wizard of Oz?"
"Yes I do, but I'm confused I thought we were talking about you."
"Well we are,just like Dorothy, I found that I didn't have to search any further then myself, because the answers are all there. Harmony do you believe in magic?"
