"Hey Mega, what's going on and why should this lad ignore me?" The girl asked as she glided through the portrait hole.
Harry heard Megan take a sharp intake of air as the girl said this. She can't see me, can she, Harry thought. I'm just a figment in this timeline I haven't even been born yet no one should be able to see me there must be someone else in here. Just as this thought reassured him that the girl couldn't mean him she started to walk slowly towards him.
"What are you then?" She muttered as she started to walk around him "are you a ghost?"
As she asked this she swept her hand through the middle of Harry's stomach leaving no time for him to react and move out of the way.
"No," she muttered starting to walk around him again "you're not cold enough to be dead but your also not warm enough to be alive well not at this time anyway maybe in 10 to 20 years. You haven't been born yet so what are you doing here kid? Mega want to explain this?"
The girl then turned her attention towards a very pale and nervous looking Megan who was staring at them with her mouth hanging open she looked just like a fish Harry thought.
"Mega hello?" The girl said waving her hand in front of the stunned girl's face.
When she saw she was going to get no response she tutted and turned her attention back to Harry.
"Well kid it looks like I'm going to have to figure this out for myself doesn't it unless you're going to help me?" She asked.
"You can see me?" Harry asked bewildered at how this could have happened.
"Yeah kid I can but I don't think you're going to tell me who you are, are you?" As Harry shook his head she continued to talk "well since you won't help me I'll just have to work it out for myself. Lets see now I know this isn't your time line and that you haven't been born yet what I don't know is why you're here and who you are. Hmm…"
Harry felt very uncomfortable as the girl continued to study him. How can she see me, he thought. Dumbledore said no one would be able to see me but for Megan, Sirius and Remus but for some reason she can as well, why? Where's Megan gone he wondered as he looked around the room for a glimpse of her I'm sure she was here a minute ago? As the girl started to speak again though all his attention was taken away from Megan's disappearance.
"Hmm that messy, black hair, those glasses, even the way you're standing all remind me of James Potter but your eyes they definitely aren't James' those look like Lily's eyes, but they can't be can they? That would mean they…? James and Lily…together…? It can't be true, can it? If I didn't know better I'd say you are Lily and James' future son…" The girls mumbling suddenly stopped as a sharp cough from behind her made her quickly turn around.
Harry looked at Remus and Sirius standing in the entrance to the boys dormitories with identical looks of horror on their faces about what they'd just heard. So that's where Megan went, Harry thought to get those two.
"Mega what are you doing with Black and Remus and who is this kid that looks so much like Potter?" The girl asked a now much calmer looking Megan.
"Oh I'm dating Black," Megan said waving a dismissive hand at the still dumbstruck Sirius "and I can't tell you about the kid Sparks so please don't ask me to".
"Hang on your dating Black? Does Lil know?" Sparks asked with a look of puzzlement on her face.
"Course Lil knows Sparks think I'd keep that from her?" Megan said quietly.
"And you're still alive?" Sparks asked with a mischievous smile.
"Just about," Meg answered her smile matching Sparks'.
"How can she see him?" Remus said nodding his head towards Harry.
"Can I tell them?" Megan asked Sparks not wanting to give away her friend's secret if she didn't want her to.
Sparks thought for a minute and then nodded her head in agreement.
"Sparks' mum isn't a witch but she isn't exactly a muggle either her mum's family are Romanies who are otherwise known as Gypsies to muggles. Now Romanies have special magic of their own which wizards do not have one of these is called The Sight, this means that they can see into the past and the present. Sparks has this gift but it's a lot stronger in her because it's been mixed with her dad's wizard blood, she can now see into the past and the present but she can also see things that aren't in their right timeline. That's how she can see him," Megan said.
"Can't we make her forget all this?" Sirius asked under his breath.
"I wouldn't recommend that Black!" Sparks said waving her wand threateningly at him.
"There's no point Si she'll just see him again anyway," Megan answered quietly.
As the others in the room looked at each other Harry continued to stare at Sparks her eyes had turned pure white now rather than the black they had been a few minutes ago. No one else seemed to have noticed this change in Sparks or the fact that she now seemed to be standing as still as a statue and not noticing anything around her. Harry could hear snatches of words and sentences coming from her lips:
"Potion…I love you…James and Lily…marriage…baby…Harry…NOOOOOOOO!"
Everyone turned around then and looked at Sparks. Her face was awash with tears and her eyes were pleading with them to tell her what she'd just saw wasn't true.
"Please tell me that wasn't true? They don't die, not like that, please tell me they don't Mega, please," Sparks had grabbed Megan's hands as she spoke.
Sparks looked at the eyes of the people around her and started to cry again loud sobs, which sounded like her heart would break.
"I saw them Mega they were so happy, they'd had a baby called Harry but they didn't even get to see him grow up Mega, please don't tell me that really happens to them, please," Sparks continued to cry against Megan's shoulder when no one responded.
"We can't tell you what happens Sparks, I wish I could, all I can say is that we are here to help," Megan said patting her shoulder the tears pouring down her own cheeks.
"I can Megan if you want me to Professor Dumbledore didn't make me take the potion that you lot had to," Harry said quietly.
They all turned to face him then and Harry felt himself go red as the four pairs of eyes stared at him.
"Do you think this is a good idea Remi," Megan asked wanting to know whether they should tell Sparks or not.
"We can't leave her like this," Remus said waving a hand at the still crying Sparks "she's seen most of it Harry might as well tell her the rest".
Megan nodded her head quickly and started to manoeuvre Sparks over to a chair. Once she was sat down Harry started to tell her why they were there and what they had come to do. It was four hours later when they all went to their beds after a lot more confusion and tears knowing that the next morning it would all start again when they needed to finalise how and what James was going to save Lily from. The four from the future however took refuge in the knowledge that they had another person on their side not realising that they hadn't been the only ones in the room that night.
