Heya guys hope you liked the last chapter. Thank you for all the reviews and I'm glad to see my
Very first reviewer come back to finish the story (you know who you are). Here it is guy's chapter 22.
Chapter 22- Downfalls and ComebacksHarry laid there screaming in agony as Hermione helplessly begged him to speak to her. "Harry what is it?"
She cried, "My scar, it burns," he moaned. Her heart dropped to her feet, the scar was a warning,
and if it hurt, Voldemort was close by. She desperately tried to move Harry to his feet. No she wasn't ready
for this, she wasn't ready to send Harry marching into possible death. They had to get out of there and
quick. Making sure Harry was resting against the bars, Hermione ran to the cell door, tugging on the bars
"Damn" Hermione grumbled out loud, pacing agitatedly around the small cell.
The pain begun to subside allowing Harry to focus once again "He's happy" he spoke slowly rubbing
His head "I can feel him as if he's close by". Hermione glared " Harry I'm getting us out of here"
"You can't possibly challenge him, your not ready" her voice trembled as she pleaded with him.
She stood there silent, waiting for him to agree with her. Harry raked his fingers through his hair,
His frustration acute. What could he possibly say to her? The truth he supposed, that when he finally
came face to face with Voldemort, he would fight him. Yet the truth was not the truth anymore.
At least, not on his part, He did plan on fighting him. But now he intended to kill him.
But she didn't want to hear that. She wanted to be told that they were going to escape, leave, avoid
Voldemort a little longer.
Clearly, she was afraid for his safety, didn't want to risk it. Heck it felt good knowing she cared
so much, but he cared for her even more and for that Voldemort would not make it passed him.
He knew she would never be okay with him risking his life, but then again she knew his fate.
She learned it the first year at Hogwarts.
He understood her fear but they both knew it was inevitable. Grabbing her into a hug he sighed, "Trust me"
He said "The only thing we need to worry about is getting you to safety" As soon as she pulled away
From him, he felt cold. "Your insane, if you think I'm leaving you here alone" she cried.
Harry took off his glasses, he began to clean them on his robes "This is not open for discussion" he said
Shrugging, he wasn't even looking at her. "I'm not leaving without you" she glared at him
Neither bothered to say another word, both knowing very well what would happen.
He sat in his chair, the flames of the fireplace burning like his mind. He had to admit the mudblood's
words peaked his curiosity. Why would she call Harry her son, his mother was dead. Due to the fact is
was by his own hand that he was certain. Still she called him son and he wanted to know why.
Potter had already defeated him too many times; he would not allow him another chance. "Master"
he called coming into the room "Leave me Lucius" he hissed clearly annoyed. "Master, forgive me
for the intrusion" Lucius spoke carefully as he approached the chair "Potter has been taken to the cell."
"Very well" Voldemort answered grumpily. "Lord if I may? Upon bringing him, the girl referred to him as
James" pausing as Voldemort eyes widen like the flames from the fire. Lucius continued,
"I thought this was rather odd, and should alert you right away"
"Good choice my slippery friend, this just may play useful" Turning around he placed a wicked smile
on his lips, "Keep this up and I just might disregard you disloyalty years ago" Lucius bowed "Your too
merciful my lord" Voldemort waved a hand, before turning back around "Leave me" he said lowly.
Lucius knew better than to linger longer than necessary, bowing once again he took his leave.
Voldemort stared off, deep in thought. What was going on, he couldn't quite figure out what they
were up to. But he couldn't let the boy win this time. He was the Dark Lord, men and women everywhere
feared to even speak his name, then sixteen years ago he was forced to roam the world, searching for ways
to survive, forced to possess other people just to obtain a body for short periods of time.
The greatest wizard to live reduced to nothing by a mere infant. He received a fate far worse than death
that night and ever since then he dreamt of the boy's death, even came close a few times. Oh yeah, the
boy was lucky that night, saved by his mother. He was at Voldemort's mercy now, no Dumbledore,
no Sirius, plus no mother here to save him this time. All of a sudden Voldemort's eyes widen in awe
or was she?
Dumbledore reacted so fast; that it seemed to the others he walked on air. Standing on the very spot James
vanished from, he muttered a few words while waving his wand ever so slowly. Narrowing his eyes he
searched for something through the foggy mist. Ron watched the process impatiently waiting for some
inkling to where James went.
"Anything?" Remus asked hopefully when Dumbledore turned around. He nodded "I have found him, but
we must make haste" his face held a sudden look of warning "I must insist you use caution, be prepared
for anything" sighing Dumbledore clutched his wand "quickly" he said as they stepped through the mist.
Lily sat up quickly, she was in her room. She didn't understand one minute she was locked in a cell
declaring her undying love to James Potter and now she sat her in room as if it was all a dream.
but it wasn't a dream, she loved James and he loved her back. The very idea put a smile on her face.
Never in a million years did she think the words love and James potter would coexist in the same sentence,
but it did and she didn't mind. They were going to get married and have a son. A son; her smile faded
her son that man was going to kill him. She had to find James. Flying down the stairs she came face to face
With James. " Oh James what about Harry that man is going to kill him," she cried. Her heart
ached for the son she had yet to know.
"We have to go back," she said tugging on the front of his robes. "I don't think we can Lils" James told her
he knew how she was feeling, if they were back that meant his son had returned as well and now sat in a cell
not knowing what was going on. If he only knew how wrong he was. "We can use a time turner or something,
please James, let's go ask Dumbledore," she pleaded. It was worth a shot. They took off to Dumbledore's
office. Coming to the end of the stairs was Sirius and Remus "Have you seen the headmaster" James asked
quickly "Whoa, Harry what happened?" Sirius asked concerned. "Harry?" You know Harry" James looked
surprised.
Sirius eyed James with suspicion, "Why wouldn't I know Harry?" he said, "He's my son and I just found out
about him myself" James replied "Bloody hell, is it you James" Remus said. "Wait, your saying Harry was
Here?" Lily gasped, "I must have switched with Harry" James said as he realized what must have happened.
"Yeah, Harry was you and Hermione was Lily" Sirius added. "But who's Hermione" James asked.
Remus shrugged "Harry's girlfriend" he answered. "His what?" they said together.
"Look this can wait till later" cried Lily "Harry is in trouble, we must get to Dumbledore right away"
"What happened to Harry" Remus coughed "We just saw Dumbledore heading to his office"
"Let's go, I'll explain on the way," James yelled, pulling Lily behind him as his dashed down the steps.
The screamed the password, allowing the statue to move. Quickly the four students climbed the steps
after being filled in on everything Sirius and Remus planned on returning with them to save Harry.
to say he was surprised would have been an understatement as they four students burst through his office door.
it took everything he had to calm poor Fawkes down. "Good evening students" he began "Professor, we must
go help" all four of them began talking at once. "SILENCE" Dumbledore bellowed causing the kids to
stop talking abruptly. "One at a time" he chuckled, James stepped forward "Sir, Lily and myself have just
return from a different time" If he was shocked he didn't show it "Go on" he commanded
"Our son Harry is in trouble and we must go back and help him" James said "Please professor" Lily added
Dumbledore sat silent for a moment as he thought of everything they told him "Can you help us" they asked
hopeful eyes rested on the headmaster as he studied them long and hard. "I think I may have an answer"
he finally said. Standing up he made a move for his pocket, pulling out his wand he sighed, "Now I must
ask you to look at the end of my wand," he explained carefully. The four watched Dumbledore's wand
waiting for something to help them. "Forgive Me," he whispered "Obliviate"
Lily, James, Sirius and Remus each stood at Dumbledore's desk blinking, neither were quite sure how or why
they were there "Well I dare say congratulations to you both" he beamed at Lily and James. "Excuse me
Professor" Lily said, "You came here to tell me you two are in love and I must say I'm delighted in knowing
I won't see anymore pranks" he chuckled. James put his arm around Lily as they laughed. "I believe it's time
for dinner" Remus informed the group "Ah yes shall we students" Dumbledore smiled. Dumbledore followed
them as the headed for the dining hall, he would always regret what he had just done. Harry had to be erased
from their minds whether he agreed with it or not. Wherever Harry was he just hoped he was safe.
