Hi. Just so my loyal reviewers know I have changed chapter nine. I have made the 7 new Gryffindors all fifth years. This will fit into the story better down the road. And without further antincipation...

CHAPTER 10

Professor Lily Potter

"Professor Lily Potter."

Lily Potter stood up and let her shoulder length red hair wobble a little. Harry stared at her and emerald green eyes met emerald green eyes and Harry knew that this woman was his mother. He could do nothing but stare.

"Thank you, Professor Dumbledore" said Lily Potter. "I am happy to take this job. I always wanted to teach ever since my years at this very school. I wanted to teach Charms but as the current professor" she winked at Professor Flitwick "has yet to retire I will settle for the DADA job. Believe me this job is not cursed and you will have me teaching for a while." and with that Lily Potter strode over to the Gryffindor table and wrapped her son in a gigantic hug.

"Mom?" was all Harry could say.

"Yes honey. I am alive. So is your father, he is here at Hogwarts although he is not teaching. Don't worry it is really me. Come to my office and your father and me will explain everything. With that Lily Potter left the great hall.

"Harry Potter" the voice of Dustin Coons said. "I know all about you. I have read about all of your adventures. These are my friends Steph, Katie, Jennifer, John, Allen, and Adam. We are so happy to actually meet you. Since we know who you are and you know who we are can we come and meet your parents? I really want to see your dad."

Harry nodded and they set off to Lily's office. They reached it in 10 minutes. As soon as Harry knocked a man with untameable, raven black hair, and glasses answered the door and Harry came face-to-face with his father for the first time since he was 1.

"Dad?" Harry managed to choke out.

"My son." James exclaimed and wrapped Harry in a hug.

Within 5 minutes Harry had introdued Dustin, Steph, Katie, Jennifer, John, Allen, Adam, Hermione, Ron, and of course his girlfriend Ginny. They sat now sipping tea.

Dustin spoke first "Mr. James Potter. I can't believe I am meeting the creator of the legendary prank squad The Marauders. I myself along with my friends here" he pointed at Jennifer, John, Steph, Katie, Adam, and Allen "kept up your legendary work over in America making our own Marauders squad. I am Prongs Jr. I know you would want Harry to have this nickname but my friends picked it not me. Adam is Weapon, and Allen is The Beholder. Jennifer, John, Steph, and Katie still need their nicknames. Adam, Allen, and myself are all animagus and the rest are trying to learn. My forms are a Phoenix and a Stag." Dustin finished by turning into a Phoenix and then the Stag.

"You look like I did when I transformed. But you are wrong about the nickname. I want Harry to be Animal. Yes, Harry I already heard you are a Magical Animagi. I am so proud of you." James said as he wrapped his son in a tight hug.

"So Dumbledore teld us you can produce a Patronus. Is this true Harry?" Lily asked softly.

"Yes. EXPECTO PATRONUM" yelled Harry and the huge silver Stag jetted out of his wand. Lily and James hugged their son like there was no tommorow.

"Guys, I think we should leave Harry and Ginny here and go back to the tower so Harry can reaquaint himself with his parents." Ron said to the group.

So everyone said their goodbyes and left Harry and Ginny with James and Lily.

"Mom, Dad I have one question. How?" Harry asked.

"Lily I think you should field this question." James said to his wife.

"Ok. First off Harry yes we did know that Voldemort was after us. James insisted on using Sirius as our secret-keeper. But, Sirius convinced us to use Peter. We thought that Peter could not be trusted. So we had Dumbledore make clones of us and we hid here at Hogwarts until Voldemort was gone. We were there when Sirius cornered Peter. So yes we know what Peter did. So the reason we have been gone is that we thought that Voldemort was not dead. We thought he had returned 2 weeks later. But now that we know he has returned for sure we needed to protect you." Lily finished looking at her son with pride, worry, and love.

"Mom, Dad I don't care why you were gone I am just so glad that you are still alive. Mom after I tell you what Aunt Petunia did to me while I lived with them you will want to kill her." Said Harry.

So 20 minutes later stood a very pissed off Lily and not to mention James. Harry had explained everything as he remembered it.

"I am going to kill that woman. No not kill but I will hurt her severely." Shouted Lily.

"Okay mom. I am going with you but I have to do something first." Harry turned to Ginny and got down on one knee. "Virginia Ann Weasley will you do me the honor of being my wife?"

James, Lily, and Ginny all gasped.

"YES" Ginny practically screamed.

"Ginny, I am so happy. I have loved you since the day I met you at King's Cross. Now you will be my wife. But lets wait till after you graduate okay?" Harry said.

"Of course Harry" Ginny said as Harry slipped the ring on Ginny's finger and kissed her on the lips.

Lily and James only stood there, hugging their son and soon to be daughter-in-law. They both thought one thing though. "We are so happy for him. He has his family now."
