This chapter is shorter then the last ones. I haven't had much time to write, but next chapter is longer, I promise.
Chapter 4Harry's mind was numb.
He, nor Ron, nor Hermione could comprehend what they had heard from Professor Dumbledore. Hearing that his parents and the Marauders were at Hogwarts, brought from the past, made Harry feel odd. He was just a year younger then his parents.
"They know you are here, Harry. I have told them everything about the future, apart from Peter's betrayal. You can meet your parents but it has to be between you three and no one else."
"Wormtail's here?" Ron asked, redness showing in his face.
Dumbledore nodded. "He is, but he is not yet a death eater. They will forget everything they heard when they go back, if we can get them to go back to the past."
"So we have to be civil to Peter as well?" Harry mentioned. How could he after all he had done?
"Yes. It would show you do not hold grudges. I do not want them to know who did betray them, so please, keep your anger until later."
Harry nodded silently.
"If you wish you can visit them now." Dumbledore offered.
James and Lily sat together in one of the chairs. James was playing with her hair and Lily was smiling. Sirius and Remus were playing Chess and Peter was flicking through various books on the shelf.
"We have a son." James said.
"I can't believe it, either." They had got over the initial shock that they were now dead in this time, and had decided to look forward to seeing their sixteen year old son.
They had not been told what he looked like, but Lily had a suspicion. "He'll be a year younger then us as well! I just can't believe it!"
James laughed. "Amazing. I wonder how good he is at Quidditch? I'd love to see him play. Maybe we will."
"I'm more concerned on getting back," Lily explained, "we could be altering the time stream with us here, James. We could accidentally destroy this future."
"I know, that is what I am afraid of." James murmured.
There was a slight knocking on the door. James and Lily exchanged glances, got off from the chair and walked towards the door. James reached it first, but stepped back. Lily grasped the handle and opened the door.
Her gaze fell on Harry, her son, who stood on the other side. His mouth dropped open as he gazed for the first time at his parents.
Neither moved for a long while, just studying each other.
James at last broke the silence. "My son." He said and smiled.
Harry smiled back, and stepped inside followed by two other people.
Lily could only stare.
