Chapter 2;
What's going on?
I literally fell down from my chair, a small gasp emitting from my deathly white lips.
Oh my lord.
My mother just wrote to me. My mother just wrote to me! I practically screamed it aloud, but I didn't want to appear crazy to any who might be eavesdropping. I glanced down at the fading letters of my mother's scrawl. Her words appeared in a neat yet fancy cursive scrawl.
I dropped the quill on the table and took a deep breath. 'Don't freak out Harry,' I thought. 'Don't freak out. Just reply back nice and comfortable.'I took a deep breath and tried to do just that. Though I didn't exactly do this calmly.
Mom? What's this book? Is it your diary? What does it do?
I took a deep breath as I waited impatiently, in anticipation for the answer. There it was.. I watched in earnest as the words faded in.
I can't tell you Harry.
My jaw dropped, and I leaned back in slight irritation. Why the hell couldn't she tell me? I glared down at the notebook. Surprisingly, I didn't want to reply to her. I continued to glower at the notebook, my eyes widening a tad when she answered.
Harry, please. I can't tell you. Throw this book away.
I stared at the words upon the page as the comforting scrawl faded from view. "But why! Damn, this isn't fair." I hissed, clenching my fists. I rolled my eyes at the next words that came upon the page, then did a double-take.
Harry, I forbid you from swearing in my presence. If you would like to swear with your friends, then do so, but I will not allow you to curse before my very eyes.
"Merlin's beard...." I whispered, picking up the book, my fingers trembling terribly. Well, I was trembling. My eyes contininuing to broaden as I gazed in astonishment at the book.
"Hello Harry."
There, before my very eyes, was the image of my mother smiling at me from the book. Her almond shaped optics of a green hue twinkled as if excited, her long mane of thick, crimson curls tumbled gently around her shoulders, and her milky skin seemed to glow in the sunlight around her. She was standing at the glittering waters of the lake, outside of Hogwarts. My heart thumped faster, yearning to be there with her. "Mum?" I whispered, still unable to believe it.
She just laughed, her eyes closing in happiness and a bubbly, infectious laughter emitting from her pink lips. "Yes Ha-"
"Lily, who're you talking to?"
I jumped, literally. "Who was that!?" I asked, careful to keep my voice toned done a bit. My mother just waved my question away, rolling her eyes as she turned to view someone outside the picture. "James, what the bloody hell do you want? I don't have time for kicking your ass right now." she snapped, but a light smile danced around the edges of her lips.
I quirked a brow. And she was the one who forbidded me to swear. Alas, I had figured out who she was talking to; James Potter. My heartbeat sped up even faster, and I contained my urge to jump up screaming aloud.
"Dad...?" came my unbelieving voice, in a hoarse whisper. I watched in excitement as my father strode into the picture, and tears began to well up in my eyes. His messy, unkempt black hair; I unconciously put a hand up to me jet black hair. His large, hazel eyes jumping out mischieviously from under black spectacles. His slightly tanned skin clashed with Lily's fair white. His tall, well-built body, with her small, nimble one. Oh, how perfectly well they went together.
My dad's eyes met mine, widening to a large extent. "H-H-Harry?" He whispered, coming as close to the picture as possible. I began wondering how they saw me. Was I a floating hologram to them, like in those Star Wars movies? Naahh...
My dad turned to my mother, and he took her by the shoulders. "Did you do the Rencontrer le passé curse again Lily?" He asked urgently, gazing deep into her eyes. Lily glanced sideways at me then met his gaze once more. Her head drooped and she looked down at the ground. "Yes." She mumbled, toeing the grass with her sneaker. I raised an eyebrow. Wasn't Dad the mischievious one? Oh well, this was interesting.
"Harry, if you'll excuse us for one moment." my Dad said, still looking at me in disbelief. I narrowed my eyes, ready to protest, when he shot me the evil 'eye'. "Now Harry."
I nodded my head, walking a few feet away. I slumped down against the sofa, trying my hardest to listen to their conversation. Alas, I only caught bits and pieces of it.
"Lily, you know..... illegal spell.... from the past!" "Damn it.... I know it's... illegal, but.... who cares! At least we can..... No, James!"
Illegal spell? Past? What can they do? Holy.... I paused as I gathered bits and pieces of the puzzle. I stopped suddenly, as loud voices began to shout from the book. I leaped up, nearing the book. Damn it, I didn't want all of Gryffindor to hear this.
"Damn it Lily, you know what could happen! Even if we're from the past, that's still a bloody illegal spell! Harry will not keep this book- No, he will throw it away! I will not endanger him!"
"Just shut the hell up, I know what could happen! I went through many safety precautions to make sure nothing of that sort would happen! I wanted Harry to have something to remember, something to know, just in case we aren't there for him later. Don't you get it?!"
The voices began to die away as I stopped, listening in shock to their conversation. Endanger me? They WERE from the past? They didn't know they were dead? They didn't- My thoughts broked off in the middle of it's train of thought as their voices, fading away still, suddenly ceased.
What was going on?
----------
