can't help it.
AUTHORS NOTE: Hello everyone. I am really sorry for the delay. But I assure you, I am not becoming a lazy bone. It's just that I have other things to catch up that made me delayed with the updates. I feel really guilty about not updating my other story - "Sword of Power". But once this ends (which might happen after a couple more chapters), I will continue on that one. Thanks for all the wonderful reviews.

Chapter 6: Truth unfolds
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Harry trudged along the grounds towards the Quidditch pitch. It's been quite some time since he last played Quidditch and his muscles ached for it. He pulled out an old school broom, sighing for not able to fly his firebolt and zoomed into the air. Harry felt very much at peace when flying. He did some flips and a nice dive before pulling a couple of feet from the ground.
'Not too rusty', sighed Harry.
"Harry", called someone and seeing down Harry found his father waving to him. Harry flew down to him.
"You fly well Harry", remarked James, making Harry beam wide.
"Why don't we start a game?" asked James. Harry looked at him puzzled. The golden snitch was released.
"Harry, You said you are a seeker, right? Catch the snitch before I put 10 goals with the quaffle", smiled James. He then opened two sets of bludgers and bewitched them to knock both himself and Harry off the broom. Harry smirked and both raced into the field. There was a pair of bludgers for each, trying to knock them off their brooms. James raced towards the hoops and plunged his first goal. Harry bent low escaping the bludgers trying to knock his head off his shoulders and searched for the snitch. As James approached 5 goals, Harry spotted the snitch and raced towards it. The bludgers tried, but missed him on several occasions. Finally when James finished 9 goals and closing in on the 10th, Harry caught the snitch.
"Well done Harry. I never saw someone catch the snitch that quick", patted James. Harry smiled. He really enjoyed his stay with his parents, well, except for the fact that he couldn't acknowledge them.
'Atleast I am closer to them while being alive', sighed as he accompanied James back to the castle.
* * *
"Where have you been?" asked Lily glaring at both Harry and James.
"We....have been playing Quidditch", answered James rather apprehensively.
"You know I can't stand it when you play in the matches. Do you need to do even now?" asked Lily making James stutter.
"And now, you are spoiling Harry too", said Lily making Harry relax from the tension of facing his mom's wraith.
"Lily, come on. It's not as bad as it looks. Besides, Harry is one excellent player", said James pleading Lily.
Lily tried to hide but couldn't stay without smiling at his puppy eyed face and soon they both were kissing.
'My parents were so like Hermione and I or should I say the opposite....' smiled Harry.
* * *
Hermione completed reading the books she took out of the racks. She walked back to replace them and get some more. She quickly turned to the aisle where the books were kept.
"THUD!" Hermione hit someone head on and both fell on the floor.
"Ms. Granger. I am sorry. Are you alright?" asked professor Wilbur, rubbing his head. Hermione quickly stood up and wiped the dust of her robes.
"I am alright professor. I apologize for not watching where I was going", said Hermione.
"Don't bother Ms. Granger. Here let me help you", said Wilbur picking up the books for her and placing them on the table. He then wished her again and left the library.
Hermione went back to her book and after a long stretch of studying, she realized that it was getting late in the night. In fact it was past dinnertime. She was surprised that she didn't realize the time.
* * *
"James, Harry", shouted Sirius running to them. James and Harry who were discussing about their homework, looked up at him. Sirius was laughing his head off as he slumped near them.
"What happened?" asked Harry trying to understand his maniacal laughter.
"You....won't believe....it. You should've....seen it...." continued laughing.
"Padfoot, either you laugh completely and then tell or tell us first before we join you", said James trying to understand his behavior.
"Don't bother asking him. He is too high with fun", remarked Remus.
"Slytherins called Lily a mudblood", said Remus making both Harry and James furious.
"WHAT?" shouted James.
"Calm down Prongs. Padfoot set all the Slytherins hair to pink and when ever they open their mouths to say anything about Lily or us again they would sing-song a derogatory word about themselves", said Remus smiling.
James calmed down. But Harry was still furious about someone calling his mother like that.
"The Slytherins were furious. But Snape stopped them from attacking us", continued Remus.
"Was Snape one of the people who said that?" asked Harry. Remus looked at Harry curiously.
"No, Snape was not there when Strider said that word. But he did complain to Mr. Wilbur about it and as a prefect, he warned to take points away if the rest attacked us", said Remus.
'Well, Snape is not such a slimy git after all', thought Harry.
"Maybe, he got scared of us", said Peter who was silently listening to them.
"Where is Lily?" asked James, very concerned, only to find a tear eyed Lily walking into the common room. James immediately walked towards her. Lily hugged him close and started sobbing into his neck.
"Shh....calm down Lil. Those slimy Slytherins will pay for it dearly", promised James.
"No, Jamie. You won't do anything as such. I am offended for what they called me. But Siri has already done enough. Don't get into trouble for me. It's not worth it", said Lily with tear filled eyes. James wiped her cheeks and looked into her eyes.
"Don't you ever say that Lil. You are worth more than a million of those Slytherins. Nothing would ever repay for the grief that you had" smiled James.
"Oh James", hugged Lily and continued her sobbing. Harry's eyes misted on seeing his parents like that.
'Voldermort is really an animal for doing such a thing to my parents. He really deserved what he got', thought Harry.
Meanwhile, James walked with Lily to her dorm and tucked her into bed.
"Siri, How nice of you to do that for Lily", smiled Arabella, taking his hand into hers.
"You know Ari, that comes to me naturally. I am always there for my friends and apart from my charming, wonderful and gallant nature, I am also gifted to be compassionate and loyal friend", boasted Sirius, taking his chance. Harry had to work hard to control his laughter.
"But I like 'just Sirius' ", said Arabella feigning a whine.
"Of Course, though I am such a stud for all the girls at Hogwarts, I am just 'Siri' for you", grinned Sirius as Arabella closed in for a kiss.
"Here we go again", nodded Remus and Peter as they walked away to their dorm, leaving a passionate Sirius and Arabella kissing each other.
Harry found it funny, his Godfather and Godmother engaging like that, but he suddenly remembered Hermione. He didn't see her from the afternoon. Harry sighed and walked out of the common room to see her.
* * *
**PRESENT**
"Professor!" called Sirius and Remus, walking with others into Dumbledore's office.
Dumbledore who was sitting and reading some parchment looked at all the people barging into his office and smiled.
"Professor, Harry and Hermione, they disappeared", said Sirius very tensed.
"Sirius, calm down. Why don't you all take seat", said Dumbledore conjuring more chairs to accommodate everyone.
When everyone settled down, Dumbledore looked at Sirius and Arabella.
"Now, tell me what exactly has happened?" asked Dumbledore peering over his half-moon glasses.
"Professor, Harry and Hermione returned from the Grangers and that night, Arabella and I went to bid them goodnight. But we found them nowhere. After looking around, we found this empty box in the basement and something tells me that this has to do with it", explained Sirius, apparently very concerned.
Dumbledore took the box and observed it carefully. He then looked at them for sometime before speaking out.
"You are right Sirius. If my guess is right, they have traveled to the past", said Dumbledore making everyone in the room gasp.
"What do you mean past? Which time? And how can we get them back?" showered Sirius with questions.
"One question at a time Sirius", smiled Dumbledore and then looked at everyone.
"This box has a lot of history. It acts like a portal, not exactly the one through which everyone can travel, but through which only the chosen ones would, into the past or future. When James, Lily, You, Remus and Arabella were in school, I stumbled upon a prophecy of the founders about the defeat of the dark lord who was then steadily gaining power. It also said that the dark lord, who was also familiar with the prophecy, would try to destroy the children of light. I also read another prophecy that said the protectors of light will save themselves in the past, which was quite surprising to me", paused Dumbledore looking at everyone.
(A/N: This is the same prophecy as in Founders prophecy)
"After certain events, I realized that the purpose of the box would be best served in the future. So I sealed it and charmed such that only the chosen ones can open it. Later I hid it with my friend, Nicholas Flamel. I knew that the box would find the ones that are required to do the job and so I was relieved of responsibility. The box moved from one place to another, finally resting in the now Marauder's mansion. It is this box that probably attracted Harry and Hermione and one of them must have opened the box", finished Dumbledore.
"What happens now?" asked an eager Remus.
"I will have to consult my pensive. I am sure I must have had an entertaining time with those two. But, worry not. Nothing must have happened to them for they were in our present", assured Dumbledore.
Everyone nodded at him trying to comprehend the situation.
"But why were they sucked into past Professor?" asked Ron.
"Like I said, Voldermort was still gaining power at that time and just learnt about the prophecy and must be trying to destroy the threat that would pose in the future. Harry and Hermione must save themselves", said Dumbledore.
"Professor, If We all realized that we were the Order of light in the present, how would You-know-who knows that Harry and Hermione were? Besides, it's not like he knows them or he is expecting them to arrive into the past", asked a curious Ginny.
Dumbledore chuckled and nodded.
"Right on target Ms. Weasley. You are right. Voldermort is not trying to kill Harry or Hermione. But the very origins of Harry", finished Dumbledore.
Sirius and Arabella looked at each other with horror.
"James and Lily", whispered Sirius.
**END PRESENT**
* * *
'Soon, my mission will be accomplished', laughed a dark figure maniacally.
'It's almost ready', he smirked, brooding over a bubbling potion. Silently, the stranger put the last ingredient into the potion and eagerly stirring it.
* * *
"Wow, it's already past 10 and I told Harry that I would join him for dinner", mumbled Hermione. She also wondered why Harry didn't speak to her or communicate with her telepathically. She walked out of the Library.
'Harry, Where are you?' Hermione tried to communicate telepathically. She didn't get any answer. She tried again but Harry didn't respond. Slowly but surely panic started creeping into her mind.
'Why is he not responding? Did something happen?' Hermione started to get scared. She wanted to see James or Lily immediately.
The corridors were silent except for the eerie sound from her footsteps. Hermione walked quickly towards Gryffindor common room. Suddenly, someone caught her from behind and forcefully pulled her into a classroom and locked the door.
Hermione, who was about to curse the person, realized it was....Harry!
"Harry! You gave me a heart attack", gasped Hermione. Harry smiled at her.
"Sorry Hermione, if I got you worried. I just wanted to surprise you", said Harry.
"Surprise? You made me sick with worry. Never do that again Mister. I am so mad at yoooo...." Harry pushed her to the wall and kissed her very passionately. Hermione, who was feeling too lonely from lack of his touch, immediately succumbed. But one part of her mind was scared of getting caught.
"Harry....we might get caught....please stop...." But Hermione didn't want him to stop. In fact she would have been disappointed if Harry stopped. But Harry knew her too well. He smirked and continued kissing her while his hands explored all over her body under the robes. Hermione groaned into his mouth when he touched her breasts.
He quickly pulled her robes off and slid his hands into her tank top while kissing fervently all over her face and neck before recapturing her tender lips. Hermione was feeling nothing short of bliss from his actions. She then pulled his jumper off and tickled his chest using her soft hands. Harry couldn't take it anymore. He pulled her top off as she fumbled with his pants. Soon both were crawling on a table, pulling each other's remains off. Harry bent and captured her breasts with his mouth and Hermione moaned his name out loud. Harry chuckled and continued his assault on her soft body, kissing all over making her squirm with pleasure. Their bodies rubbed into each other making it a very pleasurable sensation. Hermione pulled him back to a deep kiss.
Harry looked into Hermione's eyes to find desire etched all over her face. Without warning Harry plunged into her. Hermione threw her head back and laced her legs around his hips. Harry went on as Hermione whimpered with pleasure.
"Faster....Harry", moaned Hermione making Harry continue his assault with renewed vigor.
It took some fifteen minutes for both of them to release the pressure that has been building for such a long time. They were panting and sweating from the strenuous 'workout' session. Finally after both were sated, Harry kissed her moist lips one more time before speaking to her.
"It was getting so lonely without your company and spending time alone was getting to be impossible. I couldn't control myself when I saw you walking out of the library. Please forgive me, if I have hurt you in any way", whispered Harry looking into her brown eyes.
"Oh Harry! We had such a wonderful time and thanks to you for that. You know, I was feeling the same too. Please don't be sorry about it", pleaded Hermione.
Harry smiled and kissed her eyes and she laughed.
"Next time, I need to arrange for a bed", smirked Harry making Hermione blush. She couldn't believe they did it on a table, none other than flitwick's.
After dressing, Harry lifted a protesting Hermione into his arms and carried her all the way to the common room. He then proceeded to walk into the girl's bedroom and tuck her in.
"Thanks Harry", mumbled Hermione, drifting into sleep.
"Love you Hermione Granger", smiled Harry kissing her forehead.
"And I love you Harry Potter", replied Hermione completely drifting into sleep.
Harry shook his head smiling and walked out of the dorm. What they didn't realize is that there is another person in the room who was not asleep and is currently the most shocked person in the world.
Harry walked out of the girl's dorm and walked towards his.
"Harry, stop", called someone from behind.
He turned around only to find a shocked Lily staring at him bewildered. Harry himself was puzzled at her expressions.
"What's going on? Who are you?" asked Lily, slowly pointing her wand at him.
"What are you talking about Lily?" asked Harry, growing a bit apprehensive about her reaction. He knows she couldn't hurt him, but still his mother doubting made him feel very uneasy.
"James doesn't have a brother or a cousin and I don't know any Potter of our age in his family. Now what do you mean you are Harry Potter? Why did you lie to us?" pressed Lily still pointing her wand.
"I can't tell you", said Harry casually staring at her. Lily was a bit relieved to see Harry not carrying his wand.
"Then I will have to take you to Dumbledore", said Lily, annoyed that she couldn't get anything out of him.
Harry sighed. He knows that he cannot change past. But telling the truth wouldn't hurt. Would it? After contemplating for several minutes, he gave up.
"Alright. I will tell you", sighed Harry making Lily relax a bit.
"Lily....you see. Hermione and I came here from the future, by accident. We opened an antique box and were thrown into the past, into your time", said Harry making Lily stare at him with awe.
"The reason my name is Potter is that, well....I am son of James and Lily Potter", finished Harry making Lily gasp out loud. She blinked at Harry for a few seconds and promptly passed out, collapsing near the stairs.

"Harry....we might get caught....please stop...." But Hermione didn't want him to stop. In fact she would have been disappointed if Harry stopped. But Harry knew her too well. He smirked and continued kissing her while his hands explored all over her body under the robes. Hermione groaned into his mouth when he touched her breasts.
He quickly pulled her robes off and slid his hands into her tank top while kissing fervently all over her face and neck before recapturing her tender lips. Hermione was feeling nothing short of bliss from his actions. She then pulled his jumper off and tickled his chest using her soft hands. Harry couldn't take it anymore. He pulled her top off as she fumbled with his pants. Soon both were crawling on a table, pulling each other's remains off. Harry bent and captured her breasts with his mouth and Hermione moaned his name out loud. Harry chuckled and continued his assault on her soft body, kissing all over making her squirm with pleasure. Their bodies rubbed into each other making it a very pleasurable sensation. Hermione pulled him back to a deep kiss.
Harry looked into Hermione's eyes to find desire etched all over her face. Without warning Harry plunged into her. Hermione threw her head back and laced her legs around his hips. Harry went on as Hermione whimpered with pleasure.
"Faster....Harry", moaned Hermione making Harry continue his assault with renewed vigor.
It took some fifteen minutes for both of them to release the pressure that has been building for such a long time. They were panting and sweating from the strenuous 'workout' session. Finally after both were sated, Harry kissed her moist lips one more time before speaking to her.
"It was getting so lonely without your company and spending time alone was getting to be impossible. I couldn't control myself when I saw you walking out of the library. Please forgive me, if I have hurt you in any way", whispered Harry looking into her brown eyes.
"Oh Harry! We had such a wonderful time and thanks to you for that. You know, I was feeling the same too. Please don't be sorry about it", pleaded Hermione.
Harry smiled and kissed her eyes and she laughed.
"Next time, I need to arrange for a bed", smirked Harry making Hermione blush. She couldn't believe they did it on a table, none other than flitwick's.
After dressing, Harry lifted a protesting Hermione into his arms and carried her all the way to the common room. He then proceeded to walk into the girl's bedroom and tuck her in.
"Thanks Harry", mumbled Hermione, drifting into sleep.
"Love you Hermione Granger", smiled Harry kissing her forehead.
"And I love you Harry Potter", replied Hermione completely drifting into sleep.
Harry shook his head smiling and walked out of the dorm. What they didn't realize is that there is another person in the room who was not asleep and is currently the most shocked person in the world.
Harry walked out of the girl's dorm and walked towards his.
"Harry, stop", called someone from behind.
He turned around only to find a shocked Lily staring at him bewildered. Harry himself was puzzled at her expressions.
"What's going on? Who are you?" asked Lily, slowly pointing her wand at him.
"What are you talking about Lily?" asked Harry, growing a bit apprehensive about her reaction. He knows she couldn't hurt him, but still his mother doubting made him feel very uneasy.
"James doesn't have a brother or a cousin and I don't know any Potter of our age in his family. Now what do you mean you are Harry Potter? Why did you lie to us?" pressed Lily still pointing her wand.
"I can't tell you", said Harry casually staring at her. Lily was a bit relieved to see Harry not carrying his wand.
"Then I will have to take you to Dumbledore", said Lily, annoyed that she couldn't get anything out of him.
Harry sighed. He knows that he cannot change past. But telling the truth wouldn't hurt. Would it? After contemplating for several minutes, he gave up.
"Alright. I will tell you", sighed Harry making Lily relax a bit.
"Lily....you see. Hermione and I came here from the future, by accident. We opened an antique box and were thrown into the past, into your time", said Harry making Lily stare at him with awe.
"The reason my name is Potter is that, well....I am son of James and Lily Potter", finished Harry making Lily gasp out loud. She blinked at Harry for a few seconds and promptly passed out, collapsing near the stairs.
