Disclaimer: Ok ok. You guys are right. I can't leave you in the dark forever. Only for one more chapter. Also, pretty soon Harry will have to be going back to his own time. It does not do good to dwell on dreams and forget to live you know. But I think I'll keep him in the past for like 2 more chapters. Something like that. At least long enough for him to know what exactly he has to do. Ah. And a couple mysteries will be solved in this chapter. Hence the title. Well. Enjoy you guys. And I hope this clears up a little bit of your confusion. And I promise you will know for sure next chapter who the DADA professor is. Ummm what other questions are there? I dunno. Any other questions you have, leave in the review and I'll answer them next chapter.

Ron and Hermione walked out of the Room of Requirement hand in hand. Hermione's bushy brown hair was everywhere and Ron looked like he had finished running a marathon. The two walked outside and began to sneak back into the common room during the middle of the night.

"Ow! What was that?" Thud.

"Ron? What's wrong? I tripped over something. It bloody hurt too. Take a look. Lumos."

"Harry? Is that you? Oh no. Mione what are we gonna do?"

"Calm down Ron. Here. Enervate." Harry's emerald green eyes fluttered open.

"Hermione? Is that you?"

"Yes Harry. Now tell me, what happened to you?"

"Well, we were going to surprise all you guys who were snogging," Hermione and Ron blushed again, "and me and James got near you guys and then something happened. But… I can't remember. I just remember me and James getting hit by a spell and fainting. Here check the map. Oh and wake up James too." Once James was revived and he also agreed on Harry's story, the foursome walked back to the tower in silence. Lily and Ginny had already gone up and a quick look at the map showed that Emma and Remus were back as well. Jen was already asleep and Sirius was off getting food. James walked up to his room and Harry grabbed Ron and Hermione. He sat them down and the sofa.

"We need to talk."

"What's up Harry?" asked Ron.

"Listen. Dumbledore and Professor Potter found some of the horcruxes. They left them there for me and we are working on finding the last one. Maybe though, not all of them have been made horcruxes yet. We don't know. We'll need to go back to our time soon. And that's what I was going to ask you. How and why did you come here?"

"Well Harry, Mione and me were sitting around talking at the wedding. Then Aberforth came in and said you and Ginny disappeared. He asked me if I had some watch or something with stars on it. I found it and he set it for us. It followed you guys' magical signature and sent us here. He told us that it would automatically send us back on Halloween. He said something about it making a quick stop though or something. He was pretty vague about it. But then he said would reappear in our own time at ummm I think September 1st or something. He tried to explain it. I got confused. Ask Mione."

"Well you see Harry He was telling us that the whole time and space thing had been disrupted and blah blah blah but I didn't understand all of it. He just explained that he didn't know what year you were in, that the watch would just send us, and that on Halloween night at midnight we would just all have to grab on to each other and it would send us along. So that was it really. Anyway, is that everything you needed?"

"Well, what do you guys know about Professor Potter? Do you reckon he's really related to me?"

"Well he does look a lot like your father. Except older of course. And well, to be honest Harry, if I didn't know any better, I'd say he was you."

"What? That's impossible though. Cuz I'm here now. I can't be here, and then here again can I?"

"Well look what happened third year. You cast that patronus to save yourself. It's possible. I mean I don't know how or why, but it's definitely possible. Ron and I saw him last night. He was talking to a house elf I think. When we walked out of the Room of Requirement. It was hard to tell and they both disapparated before we could be sure but-"

"Wait a minute Hermione. I thought you said you can't apparate or disapparate in Hogwarts?"

"You can't. House elves have their own brand of magic though. It isn't apparating, but it accomplishes the same thing. Anyway, I'm sure you have your reasons for not telling your younger self that you're you."

"Huh?"

"I said that, oh forget it. Is there anything else that we need to figure out?"

"No, we've got all the horcruxes and there locations aside from the pocket watch and the locket. Oh speaking of the locket, we need to figure out who R.A.B. is."

Sirius had walked into the room and was listening to his friends talking. He was under the invisibility cloak and was carrying some food but he stopped because their conversation was interesting. He heard them mention R.A.B. He froze. He took off the cloak and cleared his throat.

"What do you guys want with Rab?"

"Those are initials Padfoot. We don't know who R.A.B. is."

"Well I do. That's my brother. Regulus Alphard Black. I called him Rab when we were little. And he called me S.O.B. I always got mad."

"Why would he call you an S.O.B.?"

"Oh those are my initials. Sirius Orion Black."

"Oh alright. Thanks Padfoot. I'll meet you in the dorms in a minute."

"Ok Bolty. Later Furball, Mione." Sirius gave a quick bow to Ron, kissed Hermione's hand, and walked up the staircase.

"Regulus Alphard Black huh? So that's our R.A.B.?"

"Wait a minute Harry. Remember when we were cleaning out Sirius's place?"

"Yeah," Harry said slowly.

"Remember that music box that we all starting falling asleep to before Ginny closed it?"

"Yeah…"

"Well before that there was a locket that none of us could open. Do you remember now?" Harry swore.

"It's been right under our noses the whole time. We've got all the pieces of the puzzle now. We just have to go back home now. The 4 horcruxes left, the cup, the snake, the watch, and the locket. The snake is with Voldemort; oh be quiet Ron you have to get used to it, the locket is at Grimmauld Palace, the cup is in the chamber of secrets, and the pocket watch, Dumbledore said it might be at Godric's Hollow. So that's it. We'll just hang out here until Halloween and head back home. We have everything we need now. Go get some sleep you guys. I'll see you tomorrow."

The next month or so went by pretty quickly. The marauders were all coupling up except, to Harry's satisfaction, Peter. Remus and Emma were enjoying each other, Jen and Sirius were snogging every chance they got, and Lily was actually starting to be nice to James. The full moon escapades had gone by perfectly. And now they were coming up on the Hogsmeade trip and the Halloween Ball.

They all had their dates for Hogsmeade, and Peter was going home to his mom, who was sick. Harry had a sinking suspicion that he, even now, was working for Voldemort. But for now, like Ginny asked, he would try to have a good time.

"So Harry, where would you like to go first?"

"How about Honeydukes? Guys, we'll meet up with you all at the Three Broomsticks in 3 hours ok?" So everyone went their separate ways. Harry led Ginny to the candy shop. Ginny got a lollipop. (A/N sorry I kinda like that song. It just made me laugh. If you all caught that joke kudos to you. If not. It's cool) They wandered aimlessly through the store for a while and then left to Madam P's for coffee. Harry hoped he would better this time than when he was with Cho.

"Let's sit here Harry."

"Ok Gin. So what's up?"

"Well, I dunno. I missed you a lot during the summer. And I'm especially gonna miss you this year."

"Don't worry Gin. I'll be back before you know it. Hey I'm gonna get the coffee." Harry walked to the counter to order and slipped his hands into his pockets to pay and felt a note. He paid for the coffee and pulled out the note.

Harry,

Hey. I'm really sorry that James and I weren't there for you in the future and all. I want you to know you are the best son anyone could ever ask for. I was talking to Hermione and Ginny and they told me all about the things you have done. I wish my son hadn't had to go through that. That's way too much for anyone to have to go through. But I am still proud of you. And I noticed how you always look at Ginny. I wanted you to have this. It's something my mother gave to me and she wanted me to give it in turn to my daughter. I don't have one, but I think Ginny would be a very nice daughter-in-law. So I'd like you to give it to her. I know she'll love it, as it came from you. I approve of her Harry. James does as well. Now take care of yourself. We'll always remember you and we will always love you.

Love Mum.

Harry pulled a ring out of his pocket. It was beautiful. He walked back to their table with the coffee and handed it to Ginny.

"Ginny, I want to tell you something. No matter what happens, I'll always love you. Remember that. And here, give me your hand." Harry slipped the ring onto her finger. "That's my promise to you. And that's going to be your promise ring. I'll always be with you Ginny. Never forget that."

"Harry. I-it's beautiful. And you will always have a place in my heart. Forever. So make sure you don't get yourself hurt. But enough about that for now. You make it sounds like you are going to leave any second now."

"Well Gin, I've learned that one second, someone will be there, and the next, they just disappear." A veil fluttering in the wind was brought up to both of their minds. A tear slid down Ginny's cheek. He's had to put up with so much. She realized she was holding his hand and squeezed it. Harry looked up at her and pulled her into a hug. The walked out with Harry's arm around her waist and Ginny's arm around his shoulder. Harry took his free hand and tilted up her chin. He looked into her eyes and gave her a peck on the lips.

"Thanks Gin. I don't know what I'd do without you."

"You'll never have to know either." They walked the rest of the way into The Three Broomsticks and saw everyone else was already there. Sirius was sitting in the corner with Jen on his lap, Remus and Emma were across from them holding hands, and Ron and Hermione were next to them with their arms around each other's waists. Hermione's hair was filled with a little bit of snow and looked like they had been by the Shrieking Shack. It was obvious that Sirius and Jen had been snogging. As for Remus and Emma, it was too hard to tell.

"Hello guys. Sorry we're late."

"Don't worry bout it Bolty. It's all good. Take a seat. Oi Rosmerta!" Rosmerta came walking over, scowling. Then she saw it was Sirius who had called and her scowl softened a little bit.

"Can we get hmm let's see. 1-2-3-4- 8 butterbeers please?"

"Actually no you can't. We're out of butterbeer." Sirius's jaw dropped.

"W-what?"

"Oh I'm just joking. 8 butterbeers coming up." Everybody laughed at Sirius and the girls started to talk about what they would wear to the ball. The guys talked about Quidditch. After awhile, they walked outside, the guys to the Quidditch shop, the girls to go get dresses. They met up later in the common room.

"So Ginny, that's a beautiful ring you have. Where'd you get it?"

"Oh, Harry gave it to me." Lily beamed behind Ginny's back. Hermione gave her a questioning glance but then smiled at Ginny. The girls walked up to their dorm room. Now, only the marauders were left in the common room.

"Well now. Are you guys up for a prank. It's been awhile, people will begin to think that we've been slacking off-"

"Or else planning something huge."

"Right you are Padfoot. And we have been. Moony, did you get that spell?"

"Right here Prongs."

"Alright then. Bolty, Furball? You guys ready for some fun?"

"Yeah!"

"Ok, let's go. Destination: third floor."

They headed up there, Marauders map in hand and invisibility cloak in Sirius's pocket. There were too many of them so there was no use using it. They went to a painting of Boris the Bewildered and said the password: "I'm up to no good, as a marauder always should" and walked into the now open room. They got some 'ammunition' while Harry and Ron kept watch outside. Then they walked out.

"So you're Harry Potter then?" Remus asked.

"Huh?"

"Don't worry, James and Sirius just explained it to me. It's fine. I suppose we'll let Peter know as well once he gets back?"

"No." Harry and Ron said together.

"What? Why not?"

"Well it's because-" Ron started

"Because too many people know already," Harry added quickly.

"Oh. Ok then. I mean it is your secret. We're all entitled to our secrets…" Remus trailed off mysteriously.

"We know about that too Moony."

"W-what? James why did you tell him!"

"He didn't Moony. We already knew. And it's cool. You're still the same person."

"Oh." Remus let out a breath he hadn't known he'd been holding. "Ok."

They walked towards the kitchens and tickled the pear to get in.

"Master Sirius. Master James. What can we do for you?"

"Well Lucky, I need you to put this in the goblets for the Slytherin table for breakfast tomorrow. Can you do that for me?"

"Of course Master Sirius, anything you need Lucky is proud to do it."

"Thanks. Well we'll let you get to work then. Good night Lucky."

"Masters are too kind to Lucky. Lucky is grateful she met you. Lucky always tells of how you are the greatest wizards and pranksters to ever come to Hogwarts."

"Well I don't know about greatest wizards but thanks Lucky. We'll be seeing you." They walked out and once they were out of earshot Remus, Ron, and Harry burst out laughing.

"Great-Greatest wi-wizards huh guys?" They roared with laughter. James tackled Harry and Sirius hit Moony. They all fell on the floor laughing. Ron picked up the map and looked at it.

"Hey guys. Someone's coming." They scrambled up and ran into an empty classroom. Ron, Remus, and Sirius made it into one room, James and Harry in the other. Remus, Ron, and Sirius all looked at the map. They saw Harry and James in a classroom right across from them. They looked at the dot approaching them and gasped.

"It can't be," said Sirius.

"That's our DADA Professor's name? But that's-" Remus clamped a hand on Ron's mouth. The Professor was right outside their door. They looked fearfully at the doorknob and saw it slowly turning…
