When Harry and the others reached the Great Hall, they were greeted by a
huge burst of noise. The entire school body, with the exception of the
incoming first years, was there.
"Bloody hell..." James cursed.
"James!" Lily scolded. "You know how I feel about cursing!"
"What? I think Dumb-door over there should have warned us!"
"James!" Sirius exclaimed, mimicking Lily. "Do not mock people's names!"
They all laughed, and kept walking in.
As Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Sirius, Lily, and James made their way up to the head table, the room suddenly became silent. Everyone was staring at Sirius, Lily and James. They were supposed to be dead. They arrived at the head table and sat down at the extra seats. Ron was beaming; he loved the attention. Then the hall gradually became louder.
"Attention, students. I would like to introduce to you three people, Lily and James Potter, and Sirius Black. Lily, James, and Sirius were brought back to life using a technology that cannot and will not be used again. Sirius Black, as you all are probably aware, was thrown into Azkaban for murdering Peter Pettigrew, whom we now know is alive. He has been cleared of all charges and granted a full pardon, because he is an innocent man. Lily and James, as all of you are aware, were murdered by Voldemort," Dumbledore paused due to the many gasps that echoed throughout the hall. Not many of the students at Hogwarts were accustomed to hearing someone actually speak the Dark Lord's name. After a brief moment, he continued.
"I have asked you here today so that you will not be surprised if you see one of these three in the corridors during the school year. I expect you to treat them with the same respect you would treat me or any other teacher. Now we can eat!"
As Dumbledore finished his short speech, breakfast foods of all kinds appeared on the tables. They all dug in and began to eat.

After everyone had finished eating breakfast and had flooed home, Harry and his parents walked back to their common room behind the portrait of the mermaid. Harry had decided to tell them that he could do Wandless Magic. He would rather tell them himself than have them find out on their own.
They all sat down on the couch and began conversing.
"Harry? What was it that you wanted to tell us?" James asked.
"I can do Wandless Magic," Harry said in one single breath.
"WHAT?" James said.
"Yeah. Wandless Magic"
Harry then proceeded to tell them everything that had happened the previous day, July 27. He explained everything, including the part about him and Dumbledore being the only wizard who could do Wandless Magic in history besides Merlin.
When he finished, he began to discuss how he hated when people stared at his scar.
"Why don't we go down to the Library and see if we can find anything that may help us conceal or even get rid of that awful scar. We can enlist the help of Hermione, Ron, Ginny, and Sirius.
~~~~Three Hours Later, Down In the Library~~~~
"I think I found it", Ron said, as he looked through a book called "Spells and Potions that Turn Things To Vapor".
"Read it." Harry replied excitedly.
"Um . . . the vaporous charm will reduce any marking on anything, including the body, to vapor. Oh . . . It turns it to vapor and then the vapor follows you around. Oh well."
Fifteen minutes later, Ginny was pouring over a book called "What To Do When You Don't Want That Scar Anymore."
"I FOUND IT!" Ginny exclaimed as she ran to show them a page from the book she was looking through.
"What does it say?" Hermione asked; she was very interested in learning new things.
"It says here that there is a potion that you can make to conceal scars, and there are no side effects except drowsiness for a day afterward."
"What is the potion?" Harry asked.
"The Cicatrice Celata potion."
"How is it made?"
"Umm . . . you take these ingredients," Ginny said, as she pointed to the page, "and you let them simmer for twenty-one hours and thirteen minutes. Then you add the . . . uh . . . I have no clue how to pronounce THAT . . . and then you drink it. And then the spot where the scar is bubbles, much like the Polyjuice Potion, and then when it stops bubbling, the scar is concealed."
"Why twenty-one hours and thirteen minutes?" Lily asked
"I don't know . . . that's just what it says." Ginny replied.
"Let's try it!" Hermione exclaimed.
A/N: I know this chapter is REALLY short, but with the way that everything works out, it has to end here. I promise- as soon as I get at least 3 reviews, I will update (even if I get three by tomorrow : )
Thanks to all of my reviewers! I don't know what I'd do without you- actually, I do-I'd stop writing. That would be sad. (I don't have time to do individual responses right now- I am supposed to be doing an English essay.)
A/N 2: PLEASE REVIEW!!!
