Time's a Gift

Chapter Two

A/N: Thanks for the reviews, I really appreciate it when people review my work, criticism or not, so keep reviewing. I usually, just so you know, take 1 day to write the next chapter, then another or two to go over it and add/omit stuff. I hope you enjoy chapter two.

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

Harry Potter strolled to the Gryffindor dormitory, thinking of all Professor Dumbledore had informed him of. Harry was sent into his past, to become acquainted with his parents, Lily Evans and James Potter, something Harry never thought could happen, he dreamed it, yet never thought it was possible. Harry Potter was ecstatic, for the first time in years. He smiled. It was odd for him. He hadn't smiled in a long while. But it felt good. He felt light, like a feather. Like a small breeze could lift him up from the ground. He liked it, very much.

"James Potter!" a female voice yelled. Harry turned around, to see who was calling his father. He saw a beautiful girl, the Head Girl of Gryffindor, Lily, his future mother. He looked at her, so happy to see his mother. Her hair was red and glistening, her eyes were emerald, like his. Her's were angry, making him wonder what his future father had done. He was a prankster, after all. One of the best. The best in Fred and George's eyes, they would bow down and kiss the Marauder's feet if they met them.

"I'm sorry, but you must have me confused with James, I'm Harry," he replied.

"Oh, sorry. I'm Lily, Lily Evans," she replied, shaking his hand politely. This was very eccentric for Harry, since he was shaking hands with the 17 year old version of his dead mother.

"Pleasure," he replied," And it is all right, I've been confused with James before. People are always telling me how much I resemble them."

"Yes, you do resemble him, except your eyes, glasses, and scar," she replied," You are new here, right?" Harry nodded,"7th year, Gryffindor, I hear. I am in Gryffindor, 7th year, also. I'm Head Girl, and James, I don't know how, is Head Boy. I think he paid Professor Dumbledore."

"I see," Harry replied,"Do you fancy him?"

"Who?" Lily replied,"Oh, do you mean James?" Her cheeks soon matched her hair. Harry smiled and nodded, curious to see what his mother would say,"No...well, you promise you won't tell anyone?"

"I promise,"Harry replied sincerely. He wouldn't tell, that could ruin things.

"Well...I think, I mean, he is quite attractive, and, well can be amusing," Lily replied,"I know he likes me, he's always asking me out."

"Why don't you say yes?"

"I don't know, I'm afraid to, I guess,"Lily replied,"One day I may. Why am I telling you all my private stuff? I just met you. I guess, I feel like I know you, I feel like I've known you forever. It's kind of strange. How I can trust you, you know?"

"I know,"Harry replied," And...sorry."

"It's okay, Harry," Lily replied,"I'm the one who told you all this. But you won't tell anyone? I'd die if James knew." Harry nodded, *And your going to marry him* Harry thought.

"Don't worry, I can keep secrets,"Harry replied," I'm good at that."

"You know, it is rather uncanny how much you resemble James? Are you related?"Lily replied. Harry's eyes widened. He didn't want to tell her yet. You can't just tell someone you are the future son of theirs and the person they hate. It wouldn't be pleasant, and they would call you crazy. Insane, whichever you prefer.

"Yes, he just doesn't know it yet,"Harry replied," You can't tell him, though."

"Are you his long lost twin brother?" Lily asked.

"Not exactly."

"It would be funny, you know, if you were his son from the future,"Lily replied, almost to herself. *Funny thing is, I am his son from the future* Harry thought to himself.

"Yeah, funny." Harry thought it was really strange that Lily mentioned this, for it was true. How uncanny!

Lily led Harry to the Gryffindor common room, making him say the password, 'Alohomara,' which Harry didn't understand. Lily reminded him of Hermione, and James would probably be like Ron. "The boys dormitories are to the right," Lily said,"2nd floor, is where you should be, I believe." Harry nodded. "Goodnight."

"'Night,"he replied. He walked up to his dormitory, and opened the door, to find the Marauder's up and chatting.

"Shh....someone's here," one whispered, he couldn't quite tell who it was, for it was rather dark. No lights were on. When they saw him, they immediately hushed up.

"Oh, it is just the new kid," another whispered, turning on a light.

"What's your name, again?" James asked.

"Harry," Harry replied,"Harry P-potter." They all looked at him strangely, not thinking that Potter was a common name. Even though it was. Vernon Dursley thought it was a nasty, common name.
