Chapter 31: James Potter.

Today.

"Blimy, Harry, did you see that?" Ron Weasley's eyes were glued to the display window and his mouth was gaping as he stared at the shiny broom that hoovered above the middle of the store. "A brand new Nimbus model! Faster then ever and it comes with a book of usefull charms…it could clean and polish himself and find it's own way home." Ron's face clouded a little. "Price will be advised upon request. That broom must be very expansive, right?"

Ron turned around when he received no reply, his eyes searching the crouded street. He saw Hermione reaching out for Harry when they both suddenly dissappeared. His heart racing, he leapt towards the place his best mates stood but a moment ago. "Harry! Hermione!"

What in the world were they playing at? He shouted in his head. This was no time for games. Where did they go? From his right he picked up a movement and saw professor Lupin hurring towards him. "Ron! What happened?" professor Lupin looked worried and Ron's eyes widened.

"They dissappeared, professor Lupin." He stammered. "I only looked away for a moment and they…" Ron felt his throat clenching painfully. "I wasn't there…"

"How in the world could you let it happen!" The scream echoed around the room and for a moment there Mrs. Weasley seemed more terrifying then the potion master himself. Dumbledore raised his eyebrows and Arthur Weasley made a small movement backwards.

"Now, Molly…" Remus started speaking.

"Don't you now me, Remus Lupin, I want to know exactly what happened there!"

"Apparently, Harry and Hermione were transported from Hogsmeade by a sofisticated portkey." Dumbledore spoke from his seat next to the large desk. "We have a pretty accurate guess of their location right now."

"Well, then why are we standing here doing nothing?"

"Molly, calm down." Mr Weasley said quietly. "Where are they, Albus?"

"We have reason to believe that they are being held in Godric Hollow, at the Potter mansion."

"But…the house was destroyed the night Voldemort killed them." Tonks spoke from the corner of the room.

"Voldemort used a powerfull charm to restore the house exactly as it was before." Snape answered. "The curse is powerfull and dangerous. It restores the house and restores the events that caused the house destruction."

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is that images of James and Lily Potter will move around the house, playing scenes the house saw. You may think of that as the house's memories but in the end the house will collapse, just like it did years ago."

"This is a ticking time bomb." Rose mumbled. "We have to get inside the house."

"Yes." Dumbledore nodded his head. "If I'm not mistaken, James build his house to be similliar to Hogwarts, right?"

Remus nodded. "There are numbers of hidden doors and passages that never appeared on the planing. I might be able to get inside one of them without being noticed. I only hope the house still recognize me as a friend."

"Do it." Dumbledore nodded. "We'll wait outside until you'll break the concealment charm Voldemort placed on the house and then follow you. Our first priority will be to get the children out of there." The order members nodded and Dumbledore looked at his watch. "We leave in one hour."

Then. September 1980.

"Well, there you go, Mrs Lupin. All clean and fresh."

Remus froze in his place, a soft snarl escaping his mouth as he heared the unfamiliar voice speaking to his wife. The stranger started humming softly and Remus raised his eyebrows in annoyance as he entered the room. "Who are you?" He demanded.

The young woman turned towards him startled. "I'm Annie. I work here. Who are you?"

"Why are you disturbing her? She's sleeping." He said sharply.

Annie moved her eyes between the angry wizard and the witch that lay motionless on the bed. "That's not entirly true, sir. She's in a coma and that's not at all like sleep." Remus gaped at her for a moment. "You're her husband, right?" He nodded. "You should try and talk to her, it might help."

He remained quiet while she collected her equipment. "Well, I must see other patients. I hope you're wife feels better, Mr Lupin and I hope not to see you again next year when I finish healing school."

Remus smiled a little. "Thank you." He whispered but she was already out the door and away from hearing distance. Remus gazed at his wife for a moment. Her skin was pale but clean and she smelled of soap. He reached out to take her hand and found that his own was shaking. He didn't dare touching her until now.

His hand touched hers and his body shook. She was warm, warm and still alive. Tears clouded his vision and he pulled a worn parchment from his pocket. "See this?" He asked quietly. "This is a letter from Lucius Malfoy, second in command to Voldemort himself, asking me to join them, promising me the freedom the ministry never gave me, promising me to treat you better…" He dropped her hand and it fell to the bed. Reaching out for his wand and mumbled a charm and the parchment caught fire. He dropped the burning letter to the ground and looked at his wife again. "Can I tell you a secret?"

He bent to plant a soft kiss on her wet hair and whispered in her ear.

"I was on my way to say yes."

Today.

"Oh, god…" Hermione mumbled as she opened her eyes and the world spinned around her. "Harry?"

"I'm here." He answered quietly. "Are you alright?"

"I think, where are you? It's horribly dark in here." Hermione blinked several times but still couldn't make more then dark shapes around her. A hand grabbed her wrist and she backed away, startled.

"It's me." Harry pulled her towards him and down so that she now sat pretty much infront of him on the carpet. The entire room was dark and Harry couldn't find his wand anywhere near him. He didn't want to risk crawling in the darkness.

"Harry, do you know where we are?" Hermione asked softly and he sensed that she was very afraid even though she tried to conseal it.

"No." He shook his head. "I havent got a clue. Maybe it's a dungeon or something."

They sat in silence for a moment and then Hermione tensed. "I think I hear footsteps." She whispered and Harry pulled her closer to him.

Harry heared it too. Someone walked quietly towards them. He heared the sound of chains being removed and then the heavy door opened quietly. A tall man entered the room and closed the door behind him. The room was filled with darkness once more and Hermione whimpered softly.

"Lumus." The man whispered and candles all around the room lited. Harry blinked several times, trying to get use to so much light. When he opened his eyes again, he felt his heart stopping.

He was staring at a mirror image of himself, only slightly different in the face. His mouth opened slightly and he faintly heared Hermione's response.

James Potter stood infront of them, gazing at them with cold eyes.
