Harry awoke at 7:30 the next morning in his room. An owl was perched on the windowsill, carrying the Daily Prophet. He took the prophet, and paid the owl. Harry glanced down at the Prophet. On the front cover, there was a photograph of Bellatrix Lestrage and a big, bold headline reading: BELLATRIX LESTRANGE STILL AT LARGE. Shows how much the Ministry knew... Below that was another bold headline that read: SIRIUS BLACK CLEARED OF ALL CHARGES. Although Harry had been informed of this two days ago right after the trial on Monday, he still decided to read the article. He took one look at the author and decided he REALLY wanted to read this. Rita Skeeter was know to mess up even the most serious stories somehow. Her and that Quick Quotes Quill of hers...

"Death Eaters captured at the Ministry a few weeks ago confess under Veritaserum in court Monday that Sirius Black, former inhabitant of Azkaban Prison, is actually innocent. They told Ministry officials how Peter Pettigrew, formerly presumed to be dead, had in fact been the one to blow up all of the muggles that day after the night that Lily and James Potter were murdered...

...The Death Eaters, including Lucius Malfoy, Goyle, Avery, Crabbe, Jugson, Rabastan and Roldolphus Lestrange, Walden McNair, Mulciber, Nott, and Augustus Rookwood were sentenced to the Dementor's Kiss after a court hearing on Wednesday. They will take place one person per day starting Friday with Lucius Malfoy. The punishment schedule is as follows:

Friday, July 25- Malfoy Saturday, July 26- McNair Sunday, July 27- Avery Monday, July 28- Nott Tuesday, July 29- Rookwood Wednesday, July 30- Rabastan Lestrange Thursday, July 31- Roldolphus Lestrange Friday, August 1-- Mulciber Saturday, August 2- Crabbe Sunday, August 3- Goyle Monday, August 4- Jugson...

...Sirius Black has been fully pardoned, and...

Harry laughed. Lucius Malfoy was finally getting what he deserved. He was also surprised that Rita Skeeter had actually written an article without messing it up.

He quickly got dressed and walked down to the small common room that he shared with his parents. He had agreed to meet them down there to talk at 7:45.

Once Harry reached the portrait of the mermaid, he told her the password "Under the Sea", and climbed through the portrait hole. Once inside, he took a seat on a couch next to a bookshelf.

"That wasn't here last night", Harry thought.

He walked over to the bookshelf and saw that it was empty.

"What is the use of a bookshelf if there is no books on it?" Harry thought as he went to sit back down on the couch. "I really wanted to look at a copy of Hogwarts: A History to see why rooms can just appear and disappear like this. The corridor we walked down yesterday has never been there before... Oh god... I am starting to sound like Hermione now."

Harry groaned. He looked back over at the bookshelf, and saw that one book was now sitting on the shelf. He got up once again and took the book off the shelf. It was one of the library's copies of Hogwarts: A History.

"Neat!", Harry thought. "My own personal connection to the library! Oh my god- I am turning into Hermione."

Harry sat back down on the couch and began to read.

As he was just about to finish the chapter about rooms in Hogwarts, Lily and James walked in to the common room.

"Good morning Harry", Lily said.

"Yes, good morning son", James added.

"Morning Mom, Morning Dad", Harry replied brightly. "You wanted to talk to me?"

"Yes, Harry. Seeing as we have been inside that veil for the past sixteen years, we would love it if you would tell us what has been happening." Lily stated as though she had memorized it.

"Okay, but where do I start?", Harry asked.

"You could start the night we died," suggested James. "Man, that sounds weird."

"Okay. I don't remember it, but I'll tell you what happened based on what other people have told me. Well, you know about everything before he killed you, but after he killed you, he tried to kill me. But because you died to save me, his curse backfired, draining him of all his strength and power. I escaped with only this scar"

Harry pulled back his bangs to reveal a long jagged scar in the shape of a lightning bolt. Then he continued.

"The house was in ruins after and Hagrid picked me up from the rubble and took me on Sirius' motorbike to the Dursleys. Dumbledore thought that it would be best if I grew up with my relatives. He left me on their doorstep in a basket with a letter explaining everything. I was raised as a muggle until I was eleven. The Dursley's told me that you two had died in a car crash. They told me I got my scar from the same car crash that killed you."

"A CAR CRASH!", Lily exploded "WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON MY SISTER, PETUNIA SHE WILL WISH THAT SHE HAD DIED IN A CAR CRASH!"

Harry waited for her to calm down and continued.

"Anyway," Harry continued. "I was brought up for the next ten years as a muggle, running away from Dudley and his gang, cooking, and being the Dursley's slave. I was underfed, and they treated me horribly. I had to sleep in a cupboard under the stairs. If I did something wrong, they would beat me with a belt, throw a hot iron at me, or do something equally similar. It was horrible."

"Don't worry, Harry. You will never be going back there," James interrupted.

"And the Dursleys WILL pay..." James added mischievously.

"Thanks Dad", Harry replied gratefully. "Well, that continued until I turned eleven. Lots of letters arrived at the Dursley's house addressed to Mr. H. Potter, The Cupboard Under the Stairs. The letters kept coming by owl. Uncle Vernon moved me up to Dudley's second bedroom, and then the letters starting being addressed to Mr. H. Potter, The Smallest Bedroom. They kept arriving, more and more at a time until there was hundreds at once. Uncle Vernon finally snapped and we left the house and spent the night at a house in the middle of a lake. This was the day before my eleventh birthday. Anyway, that night..."

As Harry explained how he had come to find out that he was a wizard, Lily and James listened attentively. They were extremely interested in what their son had to say. They had missed out on his whole life, and wanted to catch up.

"... and then he told me that I was a wizard and took me to Diagon Alley to get my school stuff..."

"...and when I got to the barrier of Platform 9 and ¾, I didn't know how to get through. But then Mrs. Weasley helped me and told me that all you had to do was run through it..."

"...and that's how I met Ron. Hermione came into our compartment later, but we didn't really become good friends until after Ron and I saved her from a troll on Halloween..."

"...and when we were walking up to get sorted, Ron said that his brothers told him that we had to wrestle a troll. When McGonagall told us that all we had to do was try on the hat, I was relieved..."

"...and when they finally called my name, I was still nervous. I put the hat on..."

"...and can you believe it? That hat actually wanted to put me in SLYTHERIN!!!..."

"... and then Hagrid accidentally let it slip about the Sorcerer's Stone..."

"...the year went by pretty fast. We thought that Snape was trying to steal the Sorcerer's Stone for Voldemort. Boy, were we wrong..."

Harry sat there and explained everything that had happened in their first year, even how the Mirror of Erised worked, and what he saw in it. He told them of how they got through all the obstacles that led him to the Sorcerer's Stone. They seemed very impressed that their son, at age eleven managed to escape Voldemort again.

Then Harry got started on his second year, with Dobby trying to 'save' him and the mystery of the Chamber of Secrets. When Harry got to the part where the basilisk started to attack the students, Lily gasped.

"I always thought that after what happened in the school when Hagrid attended, it would happen again.", James thought aloud.

Harry felt good getting all of his emotions out, and sharing what he had done his entire life with his parents. When he started explaining that he had saved Ginny from the Chamber of Secrets when she was in her first year, Lily started crying.

"What's the matter Mom?", Harry asked.

"It's just, when I think of how much of your life we have missed..." Lily trailed off. She finally got herself under control and Harry continued.

Harry then told his parents where the entrance to the chamber was located. He also told them how to get in. He told them that he could take them down there sometime if they wanted.

"How can you get in if you need to speak parseltounge to open it?" James asked.

"Because, I am a parselmouth." Harry said, cautiously.

"What?" James asked. "We are in no way related to Voldemort or Salazar Slytherin, how could you possibly have inherited it?"

"Well, when Voldemort gave me this scar, he transferred some of his powers into me. That's what Dumbledore says anyway. But, I realized that I could talk to snakes in the second year, at a dueling club.", Harry explained.

Then he talked about how he had killed the basilisk, and prevented Tom Riddle from becoming alive again. He then started on the third year, and explained about Sirius and Wormtail. Then he told them about a special gift that Fred and George Weasley had given them.

"They came to me one day, and told me that when they were in their first year, they saw a file in Filch's office marked 'Confiscated and Highly Dangerous'. Of course, Fred and George would 'Give Sirius and James a run for their money', according to Hagrid. So, they just had to check out what was in the folder. One of them created a distraction with Dungbombs while the other grabbed the folder and ran for it. They got back to the common room and saw that in the folder was a blank sheet of old parchment. They spent a while figuring it out, but finally worked it out. They showed me how to too."

With this, Harry stole a glance at James who looked as though he was starting to suspect what the blank parchment really was. Harry pulled it out of his back pocket and said:

"I Solemnly Swear I Am Up To No Good"

He then handed it over to his parents, James glowing with pride.

Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs present...

The words that appeared were so familiar to Harry that he didn't even bother looking at them. Then he said:

"When I was in my third year, I had snuck out to Hogsmeade using this map, The Marauder's Map. I had come back and Snape saw me in the halls. He stopped me and told me to empty my pockets, so I had no choice. He saw the parchment, which was luckily blank. He then threatened to throw it away, but I told him not to. He asked why, so I told him that it was part of my joke supply collection. He tapped his wand and said, "This is Professor Snape, I command you to show your contents", or something like that. But the Marauders started insulting him and his hair. It was really funny. Until Professor Lupin told him that it WAS a joke product, that is. He later told that he was Moony, and you were Prongs, dad. And Sirius was Padfoot, and Wormtail... I hate that rat, well that he was Peter Petigrew."

James then started laughing.

"I am proud of you, Harry. You figured out the map, and you escaped Voldemort twice, and Wormtail once, you saved us and Sirius, and..."

Harry then interrupted. "Oh, that reminds me. Do you want your invisibility cloak back?"

"Invisibility cloak? You have that?", James asked.

"Yeah, Dumbledore sent it to me anonymously in my first year, with a note saying 'Use it Well'. And you better believe I did..."

"Oh, in that case. It is now yours.", James stated.

"Thanks Dad!!!"

Then Harry went on to explain the rest of his third year, his whole fourth year including the Tri-Wizard Tournament and Cedric's Death, and then his fifth year including the D.A., The Order of Pheonix, and the night at the Ministry when Sirius had gone through the veil.

"Four times, Harry? You escaped Voldemort four times?" Lily asked, in awe.

"Yeah, I guess.", Harry replied shyly.

"And you saved the Sorcerer's Stone, rescued Ginny from the Chamber of Secrets, saved Sirius from the Dementor's kiss, competed in the Tri- Wizards tournament and WON, and then saved us and Sirius from that veil?"

"Yeah", said Harry, looking a bit uncomfortable.

"Well, I'd say that we have a quite talented son, Lily." James said.

"I couldn't agree more." Lily agreed.

"Dad?" Harry asked. "Could you transform for me? I want to see Prongs."

"Sure!" James said.

Harry blinked, and when he looked at his father again, there was a stag standing in his place.

"Wicked!" Harry exclaimed. "Bloody..."

"Harry!" Lily interrupted.

"Sorry- I'm not used to having a parent figure around," Harry said. "Though I should have known- the way Mrs. Weasley is around Ron and his brothers and sister."

"How many kids do they have?" Lily asked.

"Well... there's Bill, Charlie, Fred and George, then Ron, and then the last is Ginny. So... 6. They seem so happy- though they argue a lot. I've always wondered what it would be like to have a brother or sister." Harry said.

"Well..." Lily said.

"Well what?" Harry asked.

"You don't have to wonder anymore."

"What?"

"You see, I had just found out that I was pregnant with another child the day I was killed. When you brought me back to life, the child came back to life too. So, I am pregnant with your little brother or sister. You should have only been a year apart, but now you will be 16."

"Wow..."

"How far along are you?" Harry asked.

"Three months, so I am not showing yet, but I will begin to soon."

Harry, Lily, and James talked for around another half an hour, until James noticed the time.

"Oh no! It is almost nine o'clock. We better head down to the Great Hall for breakfast. But, Harry. Do you think we could meet this Fred and George Weasley? And I would love to see the Chamber of Secrets if you can get permission from Dumbledore to let us go down there. But let's focus on eating right now. I am starving. Haven't eaten in about fifteen years", James said.

So, they walked out the portrait hole, down the stairs and into the main common room where Sirius, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny were waiting for them.

"Lets eat!" Ron said, "I am hungry!"

They all clambered out the portrait hole and set off for the Great Hall, talking excitedly.

A/N: 8 pages! Yay! I have had this all typed up- in fact, I have up to when the school year first starts written. But I won't post until I get reviews (I don't want to have to beg for reviews, but I really would like to know what people think, and make sure that I am not writing this for my health. I also want to improve my writing). So if you read this, please review even if it is just a "like your story, please update soon". I would love some ideas though (

Tina: Glad you like it! I'll try to be a little bit more creative with passwords later, but in some of the chapters coming soon that I have already written, there is some Italian in, like names of potions, and stuff.

Bookworm04: Thanks! Yep- you were my only reviewer, but you telling me to update, I felt like I should. Hope 2 days isn't too long (

A/N 2: PLEASE REVIEW!
