Okay, so its seems I have a confused reviewer…so the following explanation should help. IMPORTANT FOR ALL; I'm very sorry if the first bit is slightly confusing, but I've had this next chapter in my mind for quite some time. Hope you like it! ALSO, IF ANYONE ELSE IS CONFUSED, IT MAY DO YOU GOOD TO READ THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE TO ANARRA

Anarra- I think you may have miss-read a chapter or so. I'm neither of the things you mentioned; this plot has been there all along. However, here is a brief explanation; Lily Potter was not brought back from death as such (it's all explained in this chapter below), but one of the glitches of being brought back was that she couldn't come back in her body. She was brought back in the body of James' ex, and Lily's enemy, Denise. Therefore, Dumbledore tried to fix this glitch, and came up with the potion in the last chapter two chapters. She got her image back. However, to keep her identity secret she had to use the potion to change her image into a different person, who she drew herself. So you see, in the last chapter, the potion wore off, and we saw Lily as Lily. Does that explain it? If not, don't worry, review again, and I'll explain again. It's not you, it's me; I'm confusing a lot of people lately. Read through the last few chaps, and that might help too. Hope I helped 

AND SO TO THE STORY!

Harry sat down in Dumbledore's office and stared out of the window. It was getting late. Dumbledore knew he was thinking, and so sat behind his desk silently for a moment.

'I realize you must be very confused. To you remember me telling you that people could never be brought back from the dead?' Harry nodded 'Well, your parents weren't exactly dead in the first place,'

Harry stared at the floor.

'I don't know whether to believe you, chuck something at you, cry, be happy, be angry…'

'That's quite understandable,'

McGonnagal walked into the office, bring Ron and Hermione with her.

'What's going on?' Ron asked, sitting in a chair beside Harry. Hermione sat down on the other side, her nose in a book.

'Harry, I think I got it,' Hermione passed him the book 'the map could have been effected by a simple spell gone awry,'

Harry shook his head.

'I don't think so,'

'What map would this be? No, let me guess, you found your dads map?' Dumbledore asked.

Harry nodded. 'How did you know about that?' he asked.

'I figured the marauders would do something like that,'

McGonnagal re-entered, and behind her came the order. The whole order. Chairs were conjured, and the noise level began to rise.

(somewhere else…)

Lily pulled the hood off the other figure, and gasped in horror. James grabbed her arm, but she stepped forward, and touched Sirius's scaled cheek.

'What happened?'

'Bellatrix…'

'What?'

'I'll explain later,'

The three raised there hoods once more and walked in silence down the halls, heading for Dumbledore's office.

(Dumbledore's office)

'As many of you will know,' Dumbledore said, standing up 'the Potter's have been dead for many years. As several of you know, Sirius Black is innocent. However, that is not why I have brought you all here tonight. Everyone in this room knows that once dead, there is no coming back. The Potter's did not die a normal death. No one, but Harry, has lived through the killing curse, and none have ever come back from it. When it is performed, the victim dies…but he or she dies through magic. When a magical being dies through a magical sense, the world almost stops and thinks 'that's unfair'. When a magical person dies, nature states that they should die through nature. Therefore, the world takes pity on the victim. It sends them elsewhere, other than death,'

Moody yawned.

'It sends them to the Department of Mysteries, in the room where you all fought the death eaters last summer term; where we lost Sirius. The veil. The world sends them behind the veil, which is why those who have lost magical beings can sometimes hear voices; they can hear the lost souls. Every time one being dies through nature, one is born through magic, and vice versa. That means that those behind the veil are stuck until pulled out by millions more dying through magic and nature…unless a highly complex spell is performed, one which was only discovered over the summer holiday.'

Everyone looked confused.

Dumbledore sighed, and tried to explain it again.

'Okay, so when a magical being dies through magic, the world knows it isn't fair; everyone in the world before human tapped into magic died through nature, and so the world knows that that is the way all people should die. The world takes pity on these people, and puts them behind the veil. Every time evil leaves the world, good is born into it, and vice versa. So when Lily and James Potter left the world, evil was born into it. The world placed the couple behind the veil to await re-awakening. The world knew it was unlikely anyone would discover the spell, but at least it gave these people a chance. From behind the veil they could watch over their loved ones, be their 'guardian angels'.'

Dumbledore sipped his water before continuing to let this sink in.

'You may not believe it, but I found the spell, and I performed it. I knew that Voldermort could barely defeat Harry, but with his parents as well, his chances of surviving were very slim. So I performed the charm. However, it had nasty side effects. At first I could bring back one, so I chose Lily; we do not need two James' in the world,' those who had known James well laughed at this 'She came back as her worst enemy, Denise. She started to fade out of life; as I said, nasty side effects. So I fixed the glitch, and allowed her to look herself. However, to keep her identity as secret, she changed her appearance once again.'

Everyone looked as though they thought it was a practical joke.

'Harry found out by mistake I'm sure; he looked at his map, and quite accidentally came across the came 'Lily Potter' where Denise was standing. However, before this, Denise had given away clues, again, accidentally. She got into a row with Harry, and I'm quite sure you all remember how it ended. Anyway, Denise – Lily – was angry at me for bringing her back, and not James or Sirius, who she claimed would have been the better choice. She then went on to say, what about all the people I had endangered by bringing her back. Voldermort would find out, surely? Well, this is your job. We have a plan, already and set up, but Voldermort must not even know Lily is back. Who disbelieves me? Rise,'

A few slowly rose.

'You are free to leave,' none of them moved. One by one the slowly sat back down. Dumbledore smiled.

'I have a surprise,' he muttered.

(Outside Dumbledore's office)

'How are they going to react?' Lily asked, nervously.

'I bet he'll believe in Sirius,' James said 'because he didn't die that long ago, and you saw him; he didn't want to believe it was true,'

'And Hermione…she'll be believing for sure; she's smart, and she should have read of the spell in one of her books. I bet she didn't tell Harry in case she gave him a false hope,' Sirius stated. 'And Ron will believe anything Harry believes, or, be the one to make him believe,'

'What about Harry?' Lily asked in a quiet voice.

'He already knows…but he won't want to believe; he'll think it's a dream that Voldermorts planted in his head. He won't want to believe in case you're not real; that would devastate him,'

'He won't believe in us, will he?'

Sirius hung his head.

'I really don't know,' Sirius said gloomily.

'I can't wait to see him play quidditch though,' James said, his eyes lighting up.

'He's better than you mate,' Sirius said.

'Not even my son is better than me,' James said, making the other two laugh. 'You're just jealous,' James said in a child-like way and pouting.

'Yeah right,' Lily took a deep breath 'let's go in,'

Three hooded figures made their way through the crowd in Dumbledore's office, and stood at the front.

After a nod from Dumbledore, all three lowered their hoods. Everyone gasped.

Lily quickly scanned the room. People were missing, and new ones had joined the order. She spotted something in the corner and her face turned stern.

'Arabella Figg, you get over here right now!'

A figure moved into the light and smiled. She ran forward. Lily's expression changed as they embraced each other in a hug.

'Bella, do I even want to know what you did to yourself? You look old,'

'Oh, thanks,' Bella said sarcastically as they parted. She then realized everyone but Dumbledore looked confused- including James and Sirius.

'Bella…' Sirius whispered. Arabella turned to him. 'Hello SiSi,'

After spending a moment staring at each other, they two embraced.

'I thought all of you were gone for good,' she muttered, hugging James too.

'Arabella, I think they need some explaining,' Dumbledore said.

'Oh, right,' Bella undid the charms. Her hair turned long and dark brown, her eyes blue and her skin smooth. She was thirty, her proper age.

'Uh…well, I'll start from the beginning; when the Potter's died, and my fiancé was charged with Peters murder, my life was pretty much in pieces. So I moved to America. I hated it there; I missed this place so much. I decided I would for-fill my duties as a god-mother, and keep an eye on Harry. So I moved across the street from where they were living. However, Petunia knew me, so I also changed my appearance, and told the council I was a squib…all lies. I became old, but I surrounded myself with cats, just like I used to. That's pretty much it,'

The room was silent. Until…

'Lily, didn't I tell you to put on your make-up when appearing in public?' Mrs. Weasley asked, standing up. Lily beamed.

'Yes, Molly, you did, but I don't have any,'

'Well, that's no good,' Molly said, walking forward. She too hugged them all, but she was hesitant at Sirius. Apparently she hadn't forgotten the argument they had had during the holiday before fifth year.

'You barely ever wrote to me after I'd left school,' Molly complained, smiling all the same. Molly had been in the year above Lily. (AN-I can't find anywhere in the books which tells you what age she should have been, so I couldn't work it out. However, I figured they would a bit older than the Potters )

Lily looked guilty, making Molly laugh. 'And you,' she said, turning to Bella 'I told you to come to me when you have problem,'

'Thanks Molly,' Bella replied. One by one each member of the order greeted them, then left. Soon, all that was left was Lily, James, Sirius, Bella, Dumbledore and the trio. Dumbledore left silently. It seemed everything was down to Harry. Hermione sensed his … nervousness, and made the first move. She stood slowly and stepped forward. She kept walking till she reached Lily.

'Welcome back, Mrs. Potter,'

'Please, it's Lily,' the two shook hands. Hermione moved on, and also shook hands with James.

'Harry really does look like you,' she said softly.

The she reached Sirius. She flung her arms around his neck in greeting.

'Never, ever, leave like that again. It totally messed us up,' she muttered.

'I promise,' Sirius whispered in reply 'but you should blame that bitch,' Hermione laughed.

'I think Harry took it out on Malfoy actually,' Hermione said as they parted. She wiped a tear from her eye and stood at the side.

Ron stood up next, but not before glancing at Harry. He looked ready to cry. Ron couldn't imagine what he'd feel like if it happened to him.

He too shook hands with Lily and James, but also said to James 'You know, I'm just going to warn you, if you ever play a quidditch game, don't go against Harry; he survived Malfoy at quidditch, who by the way is a bastard, so he can beat you,' James smiled.

'I told you!' Sirius said triumphantly. Ron simply shook hands with Sirius.

'I agree with Hermione, but I'm sending you a death threat; if you ever die like that again, I'll kill you,' Sirius laughed.

'How could you kill me if I died?'

Ron looked thoughtful for a moment before saying; 'I'd get Hermione to look it up,' Hermione clicked her tongue.

Everyone turned to Harry. It was his turn, but he didn't know what to say. He didn't know what to do…Finally, he rose, and stared straight ahead at his parents, Sirius and Bella. (Ron and Hermione had simply shook hands with her). Harry opened his mouth to speak.

'…

DUN DUN DUN! WHAT WILL HARRY SAY?

Do you mind the plot behind Bella? I've wondering for some time whether or not it would work, but I decided Lily needed a friend to confide in when the danger comes…OOPS, I just gave a way a bit of the plot! Lol, I hope this was good. Below are notes and replies;

NKB- Thankyou very much. Thanks for pointing that out, I'll try to remember to check over my work in future. Is the new twist in the plot okay? I wasn't sure…anyway, If there are any mistakes in this piece, I apologize, but I don't have time to read through it. Hope it's okay.

TheMaskedOne- Thanks for both your reviews. Yep, it's Sirius.

Anarra- I hope I answered any queries in the explanation at the beginning of this chap.

AND TO EVERYONE ELSE; (I have to many reviews to go through them all)

Sorry to all those that complained of cliffies, but I left another one! Yep, it is Lily, James and Sirius. THANKYOU SO MUCH TO EVERYONE!
