Chapter 2 - The Dream

Disclaimer: I don't any Harry Potter stuff, I could never come up with anything that good.

Nothing really important in this chapter, it's short, just setting up stuff for a third chapter.

Harry suddenly woke up to find someone standing at the foot of his bed. Harry couldn't tell who it was for he didn't have his glasses on. He reached over for them, and put them on his face. He saw it was Hermione. He said,

"Hermione, what are you doing here? You're not supposed to be up here." She simply said,

"I'm not Hermione."

"Then who are you? Her evil twin?" The supposeable Hermione look alike didn't change her expression, she just stared at him with a stern look, almost identical to the one Hermione had on her face a lot. She said,

"I am merely a spirit. Whenever I'm needed, I take the form of someone close to the person I am helping, hence, I have taken the form of your friend Hermione Granger."

"She's not the person I'm the closest to, though."

"I said just someone close to you, not the closest person. But anyways, she's a lot closer to you than you think, or she will be."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Harry asked, defensively. The Hermione look-alike scowled and said,

"Good Lord, Harry, don't get so defensive on me. Do you want to know why I'm here or not?"

"Ok, sorry, why are you here?"

"Let's just say, I heard your wish."

"What wish?"

"Your wish about never being born. It was serious enough for me to come to you in this dream and help you."

"How are you going to help me?"

"You will be given a wonderful gift, Harry Potter. You will be able to see what the world would be like if you had never been born."

"It'd pretty much be like it is now, wouldn't it?" She didn't say anything right away, and her look gave nothing away. She merely answered later,

"Come, Mr. Potter, the night is young. We have much to see." Harry stood up to follow the woman, and asked,

"Wait, what do I call you, if you're not Hermione?"

"Just call me Lily." Harry froze, looking at Lily. He said,

"What, do you take the name of someone I long to know, too?"

"Simply a coincidence. My name is just Lily. And it just so happens to be your mother's name too." Harry nodded, and stood by Lily. She said,

"Take hold of my hand." She offered her hand, and Harry took it. He thought he'd never see the day when he would be holding hands with Hermione. Lily said,

"Brace yourself, Harry." There was a jerk like traveling by Portkey, and Harry closed his eyes. He opened them five seconds later, and his jaw dropped. It was like watching his life in reverse. He saw the conversation with Hermione. Sirius falling through the veil. Cho coming to him underneath the mistletoe. Arriving at Grimmauld Place. Seeing his parents through Priori Incantatem. Voldemort returning to his body. Cedric dieing. The third task of the Triwizard Tournament. The Quidditch World Cup. Producing the stag patronus. Finding out that Sirius was his godfather, and that it was Wormtail that betrayed his parents. Winning the Quidditch Cup. Blowing up Aunt Marge. Killing the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets. Dobby dropping the pudding in Uncle Vernon's house. Saving the Sorcerer's Stone. Becoming friends with Hermione. Fighting the troll in the girls bathroom. Getting sorted. Making friends with Ron. Finding out he was a wizard. Getting beat up by Dudley and his gang. Suddenly, he saw things that he couldn't remember, his parents being killed, seeing his parents hold him for the first time, the celebration when Lily Potter told her husband, James, she was pregnant. Seeing his parents again made tears come to Harry's eyes, but he quickly wiped them away before Lily saw them. He looked over at her, and he could tell that she saw him. They stopped going back through time, and everything looked as it did before Harry's dream, but little did he know how different it actually was.

A/N: I know I started to get a little windy there with Harry seeing all his memories, but I decided that all those events have a sort of importence later on. Also, sorry for ending on a cliff hanger. So, what do you think?? Keep going, or no?? Don't forget to review, remember, I'm open to all comments/suggestions.
