Disclaimer: I still don't own any parts of the Harry Potter's world though I wish I did and while I'm wishing how about the entire Hershey Chocolate Company as well. Great now I'm hungry. Anyway...
RandomPerson619: Hehe lol. I know I thought about that as I was writing about it.
Chapter Five
Previously...........
"Well Harry, I know this might come as a shock to you but, I'm your.... father" James said hardly believing these words were coming out of his mouth.
And on with the story...
"No...you can't be my daddy's dead." Harry mumbled string at the floor.
Seeing their son like this made them both want to hug him but at the moment they knew this wasn't possible.
"Harry, it is me. I'm James Potter," He said. "I'm not dead...yet" James's eyes started to fill with tears.
"What do you mean? My daddy died when I was this big," Harry said holding his arms out to make the size of a baby.
"The hourglass you found that transported you here is actually a time turner." He said. "It brought you back in time. Trust me Harry. It's me your dad, and this is your mom." James said pointing to the woman smiling behind him.
"Mum...Dad...?" Harry asked not really to anyone. "But. I'm not back in time. It's impossible. It would take magic." Harry said sadly.
"Magic is real Harry." Lilly said looking him in the eye. "And, you my son, you're a wizard."
"I'm a wizard?" Harry asked. "My Aunt and Uncle said there made up in fairy tales and magic doesn't exist. It's just a frag...fragment of my emageneteion" Harry said having trouble pronouncing the large word.
"Lousy no-good excuse for muggles!" mumbled James. "James..." Lilly replied then sighed. "I suppose your right though. Petunia and Vernon are horrible. Vernon with his stupid purple beet looking head and no neck, and Petunia with her long bony one and a frown that looks like she smelled something foul."
"How did you know my Aunt and Uncle's names and what they look like?" Harry asked with something like hope flickering in his eyes.
"Were your parents Harry." James said. "Listen does anything ever happen to you? Anything you can't explain that happened when you are really mad or sad? That happens to wizard's and witches Harry and we your, parents are wizards and witches and you are too,". (AN:/ sound familiar?)
Harry thought back to the time when Aunt Petunia shaved his head and his hair grew back in the morning. Then there was the time when Dudley had beaten Harry up and started to pick his nose. Harry wished for it to get stuck and it did. For a week.
Harry started to laugh at the memory.
"I thought so," James said. "Wait watch this Harry." He took out a slim piece of polished wood. "It looks almost like a wand in those stories." Harry thought. James pointed the wood at a pot on the desk and muttered some word. The pot turned into a cat.
Harry's mouth flew open. He had never seen something so amazing in his entire life. James turned it back into a pot. He then muttered another word and levitated a bowl over to him.
Harry desperately wanted to believe them but it seemed so impossible. Hoe could he travel back in time to when his parent's were alive and how on earth could some like magic exist. It was all to good to be true.
Lilly took a bowl filled with a silver mist and motioned for Harry to come over to her. She put her wand on her head, muttered something and then put her wand in the bowl. "Harry watch this all right?" She asked. Harry still in shock nodded not knowing what to believe, his heart which desperately wanted to believe, or his brain, which told him, they were faking the names and magic. Lilly gave him the bowl and then her hand. "Harry, just grab my hand were going inside," she said
Inside a bowl? It was the most ridiculous thing he had heard. Well maybe not after today. Without any more time left to ponder Lilly grabbed his hand and put her head in the bowl followed by Harry. They landed into another room with a thud.
In were two people. One was Lilly and the other was...no it couldn't be. It was his Aunt Petunia.
"What's going on?" Harry asked frightened. "Why can't they see us?"
"You're witnessing my memory Harry," the Lilly with him said then turned to look at herself and Aunt Petunia.
"You freak!" yelled Aunt Petunia. "How could you marry him!"? She shrieked. "He's just like you!" "A wizard!"
"Petunia, please," the Lilly in the memory whimpered. "I love James."
"I'm the only one who sees you for you!" She yelled. "A freak! I'm not coming to your bloody wedding either! Vernon and I have better things to do." She said
Just then the James in the memory came through the door.
"You!" Petunia said. "You wizard freak! Get the fuck out of here and take HER with you!"
James took out his wand. "Don't say that to Lilly"
"James" said the Lilly in the memory crying. "Let's just go"
Suddenly Harry and Lilly returned to the office where James was. Harry sat on the floor for a moment stunned. That was his Aunt Petunia all right. She was always calling him a freak and now he understood why. He was a wizard. He felt something like hope again. All of the sudden he stood up. These were his parents.
He cautiously walked over to James. He got a chair and stood on it bringing him to James height He cautiously touchéd James 's face with his hand as if he was making sure he exists. Harry felt his stubbly chin and his cold pink cheeks. He looked into his eyes full of nervousness and excitement at the same time.
"Da-Daddy?" he whispered afraid if he said it to loudly he would be gone. "Mum?"
Lilly scooted closer. "Yes Harry" she nodded tears flowing in her eyes. Harry cried and hugged them but his small arms couldn't reach.
Lilly cried, "My son!", hugging him and putting kisses all over his face. James grabbed the both of them and picked them up laughing. All three of them continued hugging, laughing, and crying tears of joy. "Harry eh?" said James.
"That's a nice name," he said. "I bet it would have been my idea."
Lilly chuckled and Harry laughed.
Harry couldn't believe it. My mum and daddy are here! He never felt so much like he was home in his entire life sitting in his father's lap listening to him tell stories about his school days and his mum laughing along. Harry couldn't have been happier. He never was going back to the Dursley's house. He hoped.
"Mummy," Harry asked. "Wow, it feels so good using that word." Harry thought. "Am I going back to Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon?"
"Of course not!" Lilly said. "As long as I'm alive I won't allow it!" Realizing what she just said tears started to form once more. "Shh...Lilly" James said soothingly. "We might be able to prevent it." He said but without much hope in his words.
Harry crawled into his mom's lap confused but tried comforting her. As she calmed down Sirius and Remus barged in.
"Sirius!" Remus said. "We were supposed to give them time!" He warned.
"We did!" Sirius replied. "Anyway I wanted to see MY godchild."
Lilly, James and Remus laughed. Sirius already seemed attached to the little Harry who looked up at him with interest.
"Harry, I believe I haven't properly introduced myself. Sirius Black, nice to meet you," Sirius said. "This is for you Harry," he said giving him a sloppy, wrapped brown package. Harry stared at it. Sirius's face fell from his exuberant grin to a nervous frown. " It's quite all right if you don't want it Harry. I would understand. I mean you don't really even know me or anything," He said with sadness in his voice.
"No!" Harry said loudly. "No, I mean I would love it. It's just...Well, I've never gotten a present before that's all."
"Never?" they all said. Harry shrugged, "Umm..No sorry"
They all looked at Harry with sadness on their faces.
"Sorry?" said Remus. "There's no reason to be sorry Harry, if anyone should be sorry it's those bloody muggles your living with."
Harry nodded and opened the present to find a small broom. "Err...Thank you" Harry said. He was very confused as he had been for the last several hours. "Why would they give him a broom? Was he supposed to clean? Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon used to make me do it all the time." Harry thought and looked at the broom again. "At least it's my size"
"Sirius!" Lilly screamed. "Harry will not use that!"
Harry looked up at her and had a genuine smile on his face.
"Yes, they are much too dangerous, especially for a little boy" she continued.
"They are not!" said James and Sirius. "I've seen this model! It's called a Cleansweep Jr. and it doesn't go nearly as high or fast." James said.
"I use brooms all the time." Said Harry. "There not dangerous"
"You do?" James, Lilly and Remus said looking at him with bewilderment. Sirius on the other hand said defensively," See I told you so," earning him another smack on the head by Remus.
"Harry, I thought you didn't know about magic." James said.
"I don't, well I mean I didn't. My Aunt made me use them all the time." He said. "I had no idea they were magic"
"Wait! I get it" Lilly said. "I forgot muggles use brooms for sweeping the floor!" she said. "Not for flying."
"What a waste of a broom!" said James shocked and disgusted at the mere thought of it.
"You mean I was using it wrong?" Harry said.
"Not exactly," said Lilly. "Harry, in the wizard world we fly on them."
"Wow! Let's go and fly on them now!" Harry said excited.
"We can't" grumbled James. "Your mum thinks there dangerous"
"Please mummy!" Harry said.
"Well maybe." Lilly said. "But for know we need to get you check up on by Madam Pomfrey."
They made there out of the office and Harry sat on top of James shoulders smiling in what
seemed like a long time, a true smile.
Ok tell I think I might have gone on too much in this chapter. Is it too long? The main idea was just to get Harry and his parents to know each other better. Also Sirius and Remus a little as well. Tell me what you thought. So review! I really do enjoy it! Also, are my attempts at humor funny at all? Just wondering cause otherwise I can stop them or cut them back or whatever.
