Return of the Marauders: Return of James Potter
Harry Potter is a normal man, as normal as every wizard. Last year he graduated from Hogwarts, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He lives in a small house in Diagon Alley with his friends, Ron and Hermione. Ron is his best friend and Hermione is... well, more than that to him. For seven years Harry has been in love with her, but he just can't imagine that she feels the same. Last year he saved her from his biggest enemy, Lord Voldemort. She kissed him after, but unfortunately Voldemort made a forget spell on her and then he Disapparated. Since then, Harry loves her more than he can imagine, but yesterday he found out that Ron feels the same. After a long day of thinking, Harry and Ron finally decided to tell Hermione what they feel for her, and then let her decide.
"Hermione, I... I mean, me and Ron have something to say to you," said Harry. "Something have been meaning to tell you for a long time."
"Really? What?"
"We... want to invite you to a... quidditch game," said Ron.
"Really? Who's playing?""Twiddle Dee and Twiddle Dumb. Look, Ron, if you don't want to do this, just say so," Harry said.
"No, I want to. But I'm scared."
"Then let me do the talking. Hermione," Harry's heart stopped beating. "We love you!"
"WHAT?! What do you mean? And what is with this 'we'? Both of you?"
"Aaaah, yes. We talked yesterday, and decided to ask you which of us you prefer."
"I'm already with Krum."
"What?" Harry and Ron said at the same time.
"That miserable..."
"Ron!"
"Sorry. I couldn't stop myself. Hermione, he lives four million km far away. How can you be with a person that lives so far away?"
"Love has no edge."
"And what's that suppose to mean?"
"Look, that's why I don't love you," said Hermione and rushed to her room.
"Harry," said Ron, "Do you understand any of this?"
Harry lifted his shoulders and went to his room with an angry face.
"First Hermione, then you. What's happening to this world?"
The next day, none of them said a word to each other. Ron went to Madam Malkin's to buy a new set of robes, Hermione stayed all day in her room, and Harry went to the Order of the Pheonix for new updates of Lord Voldemort or his Death Eaters. At the headquarters was only Dumbledore.
"Hello, Harry! What's new?"
"I was going to ask you the same thing, Professor Dumbledore."
"Please, call me Albus, like the others. Well, we have a list of people who Voldemort wants to make Death Eaters, but we already sent Lupin and Tonks to take care of them."
"Can I see the list?"
"Sure, why not? Here," Dumbledore said, handing Harry the list
"On the list, Harry saw many familiar names, such as Draco Malfoy, Pansy Parkinson, Crabbe, Goyle, Zacharias Smith, and many others, but Harry's view stopped at one name."
"Krum is on Voldemort's side?"
"Sure. He is in Voldy's side since he came back to life."
"Aaaah... professor..."
"Call me Albus."
"Can I take this list?"
"Well, everyone in this order is depending on it, but why not? I have all my trust in you! You will show it to Hermione?"
"How did you know?"
"Harry, what do you know about Voldemort?"
"He is a powerful maniac whose purpose is to become immortal and more powerful."
"Besides that."
"He always knows what the others are thinking. Oh, I see!"
"Well, have fun."
"Thank you, professor."
"Call me Albus."
Back at Diagon Alley, Harry was wondering how to tell Hermione more pleasantly.
"Hermione, Krum is a Death Eater. Actually, he is going to become a Death Eater."
"I know. I came up with the idea. He is going to be a spy for us and send us information about You-Know-Who. Sorry to disappoint you, but Krum is OK."
"But what if Krum is tricking you? What if he is a double agent? What if right now, he is planning to kill you and me and Ron? By the way, where is Ron?"
"At Madam Malkin's. Come on Harry, you are being paranoid. If you will excuse me, I will go to write a letter to Krum. He must be informed."
Hermione left the room, and in that same moment, Harry's scar started hurting him again. A scream confirmed Harry's thoughts. He rushed into Hermione's room and found a note on the bed:
Dear Mr. Potter,
When you will read this letter, your loved one will have disappeared. If you want to save her, go with your Muggle loving friend to Nocturne Alley, in front of Romulus-Cures and Dangerous Potions, at midnight to meet your doom. If you breathe a word to anyone else, you can say goodbye to your precious Mudblood.
Yours truly,
Viktor Krum
"Krum. I knew it," said Harry, and rushed off to see Ron and prepare for the final countdown.
Ron was at "The Golden Snitch", a new shop where you could buy different quidditch material from broomsticks, to Chuddley Towers T-shirts, to "Quidditch for Centuries". Ron was looking at the new Nimbus 2007.
"Ron, I want to tell you something very important."
"I know. The British Bludgers lost to 600-570 but we did good since last year. Total fiasco. The keeper didn't gain cochins for three months. I don't think he will revive faster this year."
"No, Ron. It's about Voldemort. Oh, pull yourself together, man."
"What has he done now?"
"I can't tell you now. Let's go back to the hotel."
"Why?"
"Because if I tell you here, she... somebody will be murdered."
Back at the hotel, Harry explained to Ron what happened and finally gave him the letter.
"That sorry excuse of a ..."
"We can't do any good to Hermione by insulting Krum. We need a plan."
"OK. Hm ... Let's see. I know. Go to Hawaii. Harry, it's a trap. If you go there you are going to be killed. Excuse me, WE are going to be killed. Why does You-Know-Who want me there? You're the sacred one. You are the guy from the prophecy.
"I think it has to do with Malfoy. Anyway, we have do be there. It's our only hope to save Hermione. And if she isn't there it's a good chance to get rid of Voldemort."
"Harry, why don't you say You-Know-Who?"
"Because it's stupid. It's just a name. But Ron, what about Hermione? We can't tell the Order of the Pheonix, and we aren't strong enough. The best thing to do is to plan a trap."
"You mean that Muggle thing? Forget it. He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named is too powerful."
"I meant to lure him in the Order of the Pheonix's hands."
"But I though only you can kill him."
"Indeed, I will. Quick! Take your wand. We have to practice curses."
"Not again!"
Harry and Ron practiced spells all day. At half past eleven they went to Nocturne Alley with the invisibility cloak to meet with the Dark Lord.
"Harry," said Ron with a frightened voice. "I don't think it's a good idea."
"Shut up, Ron. Somebody could hear us."
"Down the street, Harry swore he heard footsteps. His scar exploded and he knew exactly who it was.
"Your highness, are you sure it's a good idea?" said a voice like Krum's.
"The Dark Lord never makes mistakes. We will kill both of them. Too long have I waited this moment. I will get rid of Potter once and for all."
"But I still don't understand why you called Weasley here. What does he have to do with this?"
"It's a wizard duel. He needs an assistant."
"I don't get it. Why is the boy so special?"
"He is his father's son. His father is the only heir of Godric Gryffindor and his filthy mudblood wife was Helga Hufflepuff's heir."
"Lily Potter! But I though her parents were Muggles."
"No. They were Non's. But their daughter escaped the curse."
"Curse?"
"It's no secret that the Hufflepuff family isn't very good at magic, but once in four generations, a witch is born that can do extraordinary things."
"What do you mean, extraordinary?"
"When I killed her, she protected Harry. That protection isn't ordinary for all witches. If that boy survives, he will be more powerful than any witch or wizard."
"What about the heir of Ravenclaw?"
"Who do you think? It's that Muggle and Mudblood loving Dumbledore. If Harry Potter and Albus Dumbledore fought against me at the same time, I should have been gone.
"Why are you talking in the past tense?"
"Because Dumbledore is no longer a threat to me. I killed him two hours ago and now I'm going to finish off Potter."
"No!" Harry screamed. "You killed the last person, Voldemort."
"You heard all? Yes, Harry, I killed your precious friend in just ten seconds. Let's see how long you resist. Come on. Bow in front of death. Crucio!"
Harry felt his body explode under the pain, but with his last forces he yelled, "Expelliarmus!"
Voldemort, surprised by the attack, didn't have time to respond, so he was thrown to the other side of the street.
"Impressive. Your friend wasn't so brave to counterattack. He died a very short death, but I don't guarantee that will happen to you. Avada Kedavra!"
Harry knew exactly what to do...
"Expelliarmus!"
And for the second time in his life, Harry's wand connected with Voldemort's wand. But now the colors were different. A burst of blue and red lighted his eyes. Voldemort smiled and in few seconds Harry heard a POC! He woke up in a little street with a bunch of houses. Everything was in grey but Harry knew what it was. He had traveled in time through Voldemort's memories. In front of him was a little house and somebody was crying. Harry could see Voldemort in top of the street looking at the same house. He started walking and Harry imagined that house with a dark sign on top.
Voldemort opened the door and James Potter came to him.
"I don't know why you want my child, but stay away from him."
"Who's going to stop me?"
"I am. For too long people were scared of you. Now the time has come to give them the peace they deserve. I will give you ten minutes to get out of my house."
"Ha, ha, ha!" Laughed Voldemort. Harry's chest hair lifted. "YOU, are going to stop the dark lord? I can't wait to see how your face looks when there isn't life in it. Okay, let's do it. I am generous, so I will let you attack first."
"You think I will do what you want? Lily, take Harry and guard him well. I don't know how long I can keep him.
"Touching. But your time is up. Avada Kedavra!"
"Impedimenta!"
The curses met at the middle and disappeared.
"You fool. By stopping me you will make your situation worse. Avada Kedavra!"
James didn't have enough time to counterattack. The curse went to him and in the impact, James fainted.
"Noooo!" screamed Harry. "Why didn't you attack? Why?"
"Stupid human. He should have known he can't mess with me," said Voldemort, and went to the other room. "Give me the boy."
"Never. I will never give you Harry," said Lily.
"Then you will die like your husband. Avada Kedavra!"
And again Harry witnessed how one of his parents died.
"Now I will finish the threat. Avada Ke..."
"Avada Karavada!" The spell hit Voldemort with full power. Harry looked and saw his father with his wand pointed at Voldemort. "You will not die, but it will give Harry time to prepare, so the battle will be equal."
Voldemort, or what was left of him, exited the room and the last image Harry saw was James making Harry's scar with Voldemort's wand.
Another POC! And Harry was back to his own battle.
"You saw that didn't you? Now tell me the story that I have waited so long to hear! How did you survive? But if you don't, your friend is going to die.
Harry realized he had forgotten Ron. Looking down, he saw Ron bleeding, and Krum pointing his wand at him.
"Well, Harry. Are you going to say or do you want me to torture you?"
"OK. I will tell you. It was Sirius, Sirius Black. I don't know how he got there. Probably someone told him. Perhaps Wormtail."
"Wormtail was being tortured at that time. He couldn't tell anybody. As for Sirius Black, he was at Wormtail's house at the other side of the town. He couldn't be there. You lied and you will pay. Krum, finish him!"
"With pleasure. Ava..."
"Not so fast!" Yelled a person at the other end of the street. Harry looked and couldn't believe his eyes. Remus Lupin, Sirius Black and none other than his father were coming to rescue them. "Voldemort, let then go or you will feel the wrath of THE MARAUDERS!"
"But how? How can this be?"
"I told you, you can't kill me and I was right. You didn't kill me, or Lily, or Sirius. Give the girl and go away. We will handle this another time. Give the girl and GO!"
Harry was stupefied. His parents and godfather were alive and for the first time he saw Voldemort scared.
"Krum! Bring the girl. We will let them win this time. But we will meet again."
"I don't doubt that," said James. KRUM! You heard your master. Give me the girl."
"Do as he says. Believe me; even I can't fight all of them."
"Of course." Krum disappeared and appeared in ten seconds with Hermione. "Here she is."
"Hermione!" Yelled Harry and Ron at the same time.
"I'm sorry," said Hermione with tears in her eyes. I should have listened to you. It's my entire fault.
"Touching. Come on Krum. Let's let these hm... people alone. We have bigger fish to fry."
"Oh, Voldemort, in case you're wondering, Dumbledore is more alive than ever."
"WHAT?"
"That's right. Alive and well. Do you think you will beat us? I don't think so?"
Voldemort Disapparated with Krum. At the look of his face Harry could swear he would blow up in ten minutes.
"Dad ... how did you ... but how ...?"
"Calm down, Harry, I will tell you the whole story from the beginning to the end. But first we will have to get home. Do you stay near Diagon Alley?"
"Aaa... yeah. In a house."
"Good. We will stay there at the moment. Do you mind?"
"No. But we don't have any spare rooms."
"No problem. Are you OK Hermione?"
"Sure. Are you really James Potter?"
"Yes. But like I said, we will tell you all when we arrive."
Harry looked at his father with respect. He was alive and he chased Voldemort. But what was so important? Why had he been hiding all these years?
