Chapter Two: Harry's Wish Is Granted
Standing by the fire in the Gryffindor common room was a beautiful, young woman with gorgeous
red hair. The woman looked very familiar to him, but there wasn't anyway she
could be who Harry though she was. She was talking to someone he could not see.
"What are we doing here?" she asked the stranger. "I don't know Lily. I was wondering
that myself," said the stranger as he rose up from where he was sitting. Harry
gasped as his suspensions were confirmed. "It's my parents!" he said silently.
Harry stood there in shock and disbelief. "This cannot be real. They are
dead."
He slowly removed his father's cloak to reveal himself to his parents. For the first time in his life, he was going to meet his parents and remember it. Harry stood there, revealed, but they hadn't noticed him yet. He cleared his throat and said very nervously, "Mum? Dad?" Lily and James Potter turned towards Harry and returned the stare he was giving them. "Harry?" they both said at the same time. They began walking towards each other and stopped just a few inches in front of each other. Unable to control their emotions, Lily, James, and Harry flung their arms around each other. Harry felt that this was long over due. Through her tears, Lily said, "How is this possible? Oh my baby! I thought I'd never get to hug you again!" James couldn't help but smile as he saw his son for the first time in fourteen years. "My son! It's so good to see you! "Harry had to remove his glasses to wipe his eyes. "Mum, Dad, you don't know how many times I have dreamt of this moment." Harry had waited for this moment for nearly all of his life, and now it was here. He didn't care how it happened or why, he was just glad that it did. "So, where do we begin?" he asked. They had so much to talk about and no clue as to exactly how much time they had together. Harry didn't want to waste any of their precious minutes.
