CHAPTER ONE- The Box
DISCLAIMER- I own nothing I say, nothing!!
Harry sat on the floor of the East Wing Tower, cold and tired and waiting
nervously for his meeting with Lupin to begin. It was one in moring and Remus had sent
Harry a letter telling him to meet him in the room at one, and bring no one for something
important. Harry was boggled by this but did as his ex-professor told him to. He hadn't
even told Hermione and Ron about Lupin's note.
As Harry started to think that Remus wasn't showing up, he looked in the door
way and saw the darkened figure of a man with Brownish hair that had more specs of
grey than Harry remembered from the previous summer and he looked alittle thinner than
usual with bags under his eyes. Harry realized how much Lupin must be suffering from
the loss of his other best friend Sirius Black, probably the same suffering Harry was
feeling still.
"Hello Harry, sorry I am late, got a bit caught up with Molly for a few moments, no one
knows I came here." Lupin explained when Harry stood up to shake hands with him who
instead pulled Harry into a hug, and smiled at Harry with a very true smile.
"Oh it's alright, I don't fancy listening to Neville snore anyhow." Harry grinned back,
then added. " Why are we here?"
"Harry, there is something you need to see because in my opinoin, it truly is yours."
"What is it?" Harry asked, wondering what on earth could be his that was so important.
"Harry, two weeks ago I was looking at some photos of your parents, me, Sirius, and
Peter from our days at Hogwarts. And as they were moving around, I started to think,
wouldn't it be great if your parents had kept a Penisive so we could go back and see
everything. Now, at first I had just said this as a hope, not really thinking about it, but
soon I became obsessed with the thought, we would have never known if your parents
kept one would we. So soon I found myself in front of their old ruined house, digging
through where the den used to be, and I found your father's old desk."
"Oh, are you giving me the desk, because at the moment it cant really fit..." Harry said,
but then Lupin cut him off with "No Harry, I am giving you what I found in his desk."
Millions of thoughts came to Harry's head at once, was the gift his father's old
pensieve? Could it be that he would finally get to see more of his parents lives together,
or maybe it wasn't even a pensieve, maybe it was just a old photograph. With this
thought Harry's hopes dropped back down and he looked at Remus' shining face.
"Harry, look." At this Lupin reached into his long, torn black clock and pulled out a blue,
wooden box with the words "Property of The Potters" entitled on it in beautiful old curvy
letters. Harry stared at it in awe, it was his parents box, what was in it, Harry couldn't be
sure, but he had a pretty good idea.
"Its their Pensieve Harry, do you know what that means?" Remus asked urgently.
"It means we can see them." Harry said, his wildest dreams coming true, it would be
almost like having them, but he could get to see how his parents lived, why Lily, his
mother, changed her mind about James being an arrogant toe rag and falling in love with
him. he could see Sirius again, all this made Harry have the worlds largest grin appear on
his face, similar to the one on Remus'.
"Now, I haven't looked at it yet Harry, I thought you deserved that first, now you know
how to work it right?" Remus asked.
"oh, yes." Harry said fast.
"Okay good, now, just go ahead, it won't take you for long, I have put a charm on it so
when you come back, it will be as if you never left, time will stop for you at least."
Remus grinned. "Good luck."Remus added as Harry faced the glistening pensieve and
took out his wand.
"See you in a second." Harry answered and soon he was being plunged head first into the
icy liquid falling for about a moment before he landed safely on the floor of the
Gryffindor Common Room, though it looked alittle different, alittle older. Harry knew
why, it was how his parents remembered the common room, how it was for them. He
grinned and looked around to see a girl with red hair at her shoulders, startling green
eyes, and a book in hand. Harry was looking at his mother at his age.
