"Okay, so this is it?" asked Ron skeptically.
"Yeah, I guess" said Harry.
"How does it work? It looks like a cauldron right out of like a fairytale, you know, where the evil witch brewed up poisons."
Harry laughed. "I think were supposed to put her body in it or something, but we can't do that, so I think we could use something personal of hers. Like her locket." He said as he pulled it out of his pocket.
"When are we going to do it?"
"I don't know. I have to see Dumbledore. I would use him to channel through, no offense, he's more powerful, but I'm not as attuned to him as I am you. But I want to do it soon." He sighed.
Ron looked at his best friend. He could tell he was feeling very guilty about deciding on Hermione. Guilty for not giving his parents another chance at life.
"Harry, whatever made you decide to choose Hermione, you can't be guilty. It will eat you up, it can't be goo-"
Harry bowed his head. Harry had been afraid he would say that. Ron could read him so well. Too well at times. Against his will, hefelt his temper flare. "How! How can I not be guilty? Do you know why I chose Hermione? Do you know why?!"
"Harry, calm down. I just-"
"No, Ron! You don't get it. My mother was powerful. She came to me. She was there... floating...Her power was fading on the plain... on the edge... keeping Hermi for me... told me not to... made me stop..."
Now he was totally losing it.
"Harry calm down. You're not making sense. Tell me what happened."
"She was there... told me choose her... I couldn't do it... wouldn't let me..."
Dumbledore suddenly appeared behind him.
"Leave him, Ron. The spell weakened him, especially emotionally. He'll explain it later. I'll take care of him. Meet me in my office in two hours."
Ron hesitated, but turned to leave seeing the look on the headmaster's face. He was almost out the door when he said,
"Ron, we'll get her back soon." He looked at Harry on the floor. "I'm afraid of what will happen if we don't. His mother was always the best at Divination, but... Arabella Figg, an old friend is helping me. We've got a watching crystal on him. We know what he's feeling. But he has to do it soon. And you have to help him. I can train you in minor Druid spells, you'll never be like Harry or Hermione, they have the Lia Fail Rings. But you have to help him more than just the channeling."
Ron was puzzled, but nodded and left.
"Harry, please get up."
"I can't... she wouldn't let me do it... she made me promise... not fair..."
"Harry get up."
Harry slowly stood up. "She told me not to.... I killed her.... She could've lived..."
"Harry!" said Dumbledore. "You didn't kill her. Look at me. You didn't kill her." His blue eyes sparkled with intense determination, determination to make the confused boy see. "Tuisligh bàs!"
Harry looked up. There stood his mother. She looked completely normal. Human. Alive.
"She smiled. "Hello, Albus. Harry."
"But I thought you... how can you..."
"I can't do this for long Harry." The old man was already showing signs of strain. He left them alone.
"Are you..."
"Yes" she said through tears. "I'm here." She pulled him into a hug.
"Mommy" he said. He cried into her dress. She began to sing.
"Baby mine, don't you cry
Baby mine, dry your eyes
Rest your head close to my heart
Never to part, baby of mine
Little one when you play
Don't you mind what they say
Let those eyes sparkle and shine
Never a tear, baby of mine
If they knew sweet little you
They'd end up loving you too
All those same people who scold you
What they'd give just for
The right to hold you
From your head to your toes
You're not much, goodness knows
But you're so precious to me
Cute as can be, baby of mine..."
Lily sighed as her son fell asleep in her arms as she sang, just like when he was a baby. She kissed him on the forehead.
Suddenly Ron ran into the room. He stared at Lily for a moment.
"Lily, he collapsed. Called for you."
"Albus?"
He nodded.
"Harry, wake up! Now!"
"What?" he asked sleepily.
"Come." He followed sleepily as she ran down the hallway. She rapped on Professor McGonagall's office door.
"Wha- Lily?" she stared at the woman. 'Wha... how..."
"Minerva, he tried to do. Now, of all the times... but we need the apparition shields down, Albus collapsed."
"What?"
"Just do it!"
The Deputy headmistress muttered a spell. "They're down but not for long."
"Ron, where is he?"
"In the Entrance hall. Come on!"
They ran, and Harry, now awake, and being the fastest runner, reached him first.
"Professor! Are you okay? We're taking you to the hospital."
"No. Don't take me anywhere. Lily."
"No Albus, you mustn't." Tears ran down her cheek. "The school, the children, everything. Voldemort. You can't."
Harry and Ron looked at each other, puzzled.
"Lily, I won't be here long" he breathed in deeply. "You deserve... anther chance with Harry... I couldn't save you once. I was too coward... should have done this a long time ago... I can do it now... now I have the chance... to make up for not doing it at first... I killed you... you and James... you deserve-"
Both of them started to fade.
"I won't do the life spark charm! I'm not worth that!"
"Yes... yes you are.... Harry.... He can have you both...you and Hermio-" he passed out.
"We have to get him to a hospital. Now." She muttered a spell and the little group disapparated.
**************************************************************************************
"Where's Fletcher?" asked Lily at the desk when they appeared.
"On a break."
"Page him now!"
"Whoah, what's so urg-" He stopped and stared. "You're fading..."
"Get him!" said McGonagall. The young clerk cowered under his previous teacher's voice. He paged him.
Mundungus came running down the hallway. "What happe- Lily?" he paused, like everyone, and stared. "What's happening?"
Dumbledore was on a stretcher. "He collapsed."
Gus looked at her. "You?"
She nodded.
"Bring him in here" he led them into a room nearby. Him and a nurse checked his vitals, got him stabilized.
"I can keep him comfortable, but" he paused, and looked from Dumbledore, to Lily, to Harry and back again. Lily and Dumbledore were fading by the minute. "You have decided soon." He pulled Lily into a hug and whispered in her ear. "It's good to see you, but do what's right Lil. Do what's right."
"I will " she whispered. "But I don't know if he will."
Gus left them alone.
"Lily, what's happening?" asked Ron. "Frankly, were confused."
"I'll try to tell you as quick as I can, but we don't have much time." She looked down at her fading form. "Dumbledore is a Druid, as you know. But everyone thinks he doesn't have power. But he does. He's extremely powerful. But he hid his powers, it was dangerous. Originally, I thought, he made me think he would just bring me back to make Harry see that he can't bring me back. Hermione is on the border of Tir nan og. The minute she steps over the line, she'll forget everything. You wouldn't have been able to bring her back. I help her remember, kept her outside. But Harry could never bring me back, it would kill him, I've been gone so long. So I used what power I had left to project myself to him, me and Hermione. I thought he understood until this afternoon, when he broke down. So Dumbledore used his power, for the first time in years, at great risk of losing them or even his life to bring me back fully just for a while. Or so I thought. He trying to perform the life spark charm. He wants to give up his life, so I can live. But he can't. He old, and he very well might die soon, but not for a while. He may not have saved James and I, but he's saved others. And he still has to protect the students. In reality, for the charm, I should be getting more solid, and he fading, but since I'm protesting it, we're both fading." A tear slipped down her cheek. "He's giving up his life you Harry. For me. And I'm not worth..."
A hand came up and gripped hers. She looked down at the pale headmaster.
"Lily... you... you and Minerva." He smiled. "We're like daughters to me. I can do no more here. Something good has to..." he coughed. "Come of my death... let the spell... work."
"Albus" said Minerva, wiping away a tear. "Don't. It's not safe, with Voldemort. He killed Hermione Granger. You are one of the only one who can stop him."
"No... Harry... Ron... Hermione... Lily you know... show them. Show them what I didn't... get him... get him for me..."
Lily and Dumbledore almost weren't there.
"Albus, let me go! Harry can't bring Hermione back if I don't help form the other side. It will kill him! Let me go!" She was screaming. "You'll kill yourself, and him! Let me go!"
"Albus?! Lily?!" cried McGonagall.
They were barely a shimmer.
"Mom?! Dumbledore?! Don't! I'm not worth-"
"I will try again Lily... I promise...."
There was a snap and a flash of light. The last traces of Lily disappeared. The Headmaster slowly began to reappear.
Harry and Ron stared and Dumbledore materialized before their eyes, in a deep slumber.
"I'll get Gus." Said McGonagall. "Wait outside." She walked off.
**************************************************************************************
"He's stable, but in a coma. We'll keep our fingers crossed, but there's a chance..."
"He could die?"
Mundungus nodded. "He tried to do something very noble, Harry. I promise you I will do everything in my power to save him."
He bowed his head and left.
Harry, Ron, Sirius and Minerva sat all against the wall in the waiting room. They were silent for an eternity, until Sirius finally broke the disturbing silence.
"You guys never heard any stories, did you?" asked Sirius.
"When we were young, there was a big group of us. We were inseparable." continued McGonagall.
"There was your parents, of course, Harry. Sirius, Arabella, Remus, Mundungus, me. Then there were Frank and Krista, Neville's parents. They're-"
"I know" said Harry. "They're insane."
She shuddered. "Tara Bones, and the twins, Carly and Dylan Prewett. They were killed by Voldemort."
"Peter?" asked Ron quietly, hissing the name.
"That bast-" Sirius stopped himself and took a deep breath/ "He never really was part of the group. Just the Marauders. Followed James and I around like we were gods. Remus really was the closest to him. James also trusted him right away. If he had only took a moment to see..."
"Sirius, you can't blame him. Not now. Not ever. Especially not now."
"Isn't there anything we can do? I mean with magic? We can't wake him?" asked Ron. "I'm tired of waiting."
"I've waited for worse things" said Harry in a barely audible whisper.
"So have I" said Sirius. "So have I."
********************************************************************************
"What?" came the response from the school.
"You heard me" said Professor Snape. "The Headmaster had fallen ill. Professor McGonagall is with him at the moment at the hospital, so I am in charge for now. Classes will resume as usual, except transfiguration. You are dismissed."
"Great." said Ginny to Seamus, Dean, Lavender and Pavarti. "Of all the people to take over..."
"I hope Dumbledore's okay."
"Me too."
********************************************************************************
"I came as soon as I could. What happened?" A tall woman with blond hair stood there.
Sirius and Minerva both got up and gave her a hug.
"Albus collapsed. Trying to do the life spark charm."
"You're kidding! Lily?"
"She tried to resist. He only let go just in time. Or at least we hope. He's in a coma."
She sighed and sat down beside Sirius, gripping his hand.
She turned and half-smiled at Harry and Ron. "I would say nice to meet you both, but under the circumstances..."
Harry looked in her eyes, and saw something like pity, sympathy. But then he realized it wasn't. It was empathy. She had a death grip on Sirius' hand.
"Wait a sec. How come all of you know about the life spark charm... Dumbledore's powers? No one else knoew? Why you guys?"
"Lily told us that she was a Druid." Said Arabella. "Dumbledore knew she had told. We were all were close to the Headmaster, much like you, uh, three were. We knew about the Life Spark charm because after Lily and James died, Dumbledore said he'd do it. We all tried to stop him, knowing that if he was gone the problem with Voldemort would get worst. He eventually gave in to us... but never really got over the guilt. He blames himself for their deaths."
Harry thought about that one. "I don't know how he can carry that on his shoulders and still be so cheerful."
Minerva laughed. "I don't know either.
They satin silence for a little while longer.
"You were telling us about when you were little. Keep going. I'd rather not sit in silence." Said Harry.
"Yeah" said Ron. "Me neither."
"I remember, Harry" said Professor McGonagall, "Right after your dad proposed to your mum. We had all watched through the door using a spell. After that we all went out side and had a huge snowball fight by the lake."
"And as I recall, us guys kicked your butts."
"Hey, at least we admitted it when we lost."
"What about that time we bewitched a bucket of paint and dumped it on Lucius Malfoy. It flashed insults about him every three seconds!"
"And when Sirius and Arabella went out to the rose garden for shall we say... a midnight stroll, and we locked all the doors to the castle. Neither of them had their wands."
Both oh their faces were slightly red.
Suddenly a big smile spread across Arabella's face. "Sirius, I have two words for you. Truth of Dare."
Sirius immediately paled. "You wouldn't dare, Bella, you wouldn't dare."
"Watch me." She turned to Harry and Ron. "Want some real dirt on Sirius? We were playing truth or dare. We dared Sirius to go and stand naked outside. He did it, because compared to some of our other dares, this was an easy one. Or so he thought."
"Please don't tell them, Bella, please."
"So, he was standing right under the tower window, because we had to see him, to make sure he was actually outside. James and Frank dumped a huge bucket of Fast Drying super glue on top of him. Lily and I dropped about two hundred pink flowers on him. It took him two weeks to get all the petals off. He never heard the end off it."
Despite being in the hospital, all five of them were in tears, laughing their heads off.
********************************************************************************
Okay so I had to make the end a little light hearted. This part's been kind of depressing. Oh, and if you want to know, the spell Dumbledore used to Bring Lily back is Gaelic, it means "Death Totter." Original, Huh.
