Meeting the Past

The trio opened their eyes, and saw the forest, greener then ever, and realized where they were. Quickly they made their way up to the castle and met the gargoyle that guarded the Headmasters office.

After finally guessing the correct password (Droobles Best Blowing Gum) they made their way up the steps and burst into the office.

"May I ask what the interruption is about?" said a voice from behind them.

Slowly they turned and saw a face they thought they would never say again.

"D-Dumbledore?" Harry stuttered

"But you're dead." said Hermione, before realizing that they were still in the past.

"I can assure you that I am very much alive thank you,"

"Please, listen Professor, we are from the future," explained Harry quickly," we are here to save my parents, Lily and James Potter, oh, and could you perhaps tell us what day it is?"

Dumbledore looked a little shocked at the fact that they were from the future, but all the same, he told them what he knew.

"Lily and James went into hiding when I received the warning that Voldemort was after them, and I believe that their Secret Keeper is Sirius Black. It is October the 29th. Now, some questions of my own. May I ask your name? Also, what do you mean, save Lily and James? Is Sirius working for Voldemort?"

This time it was Hermione who spoke," Well, I'm Hermione Granger, that's Harry Potter, and that's Ron Weasley. Sirius isn't the Potter's Secret Keeper, Peter Pettigrew is, and Pettigrew is working for Voldemort. "

"Very well," said a surprised Dumbledore," I will send for Peter and ask him where the Potters are. Accio Peter Pettigrew!"

They heard a squeal, and the next thing they knew, a rat was flying towards them, and Dumbledore caught it, and looked at it curiously.

"Oh, sir, Peter is an unregistered Animagus," explained Ron quickly.

Dumbledore only nodded and then prodded Peter with his wand. Immediately, Peter returned to his human form.

"D-D-Dumbledore! What a pleasure…" stammered Peter.

"Oh, no, Peter, the pleasure is all mine," said Dumbledore pleasantly," Would you care for a drink? Water, milk, tea?"

"T-Tea if I may," responded Peter.

Dumbledore nodded, and with his back turned to Peter, began to prepare tea, though Harry, Ron and Hermione saw him slip a little something extra into Peter's cup.

"Drink up, Peter," said Dumbledore, handing Peter the cup.

Peter was so thirsty; he drank in his tea in one gulp.

"Now Peter, may I ask you some questions? Firstly, are you the Potters secret keeper? Second, are you working for Voldemort? Thirdly, tell us where Lily and James are."

At this point Peter started crying, "Yes, Yes, and they are in Godrics Hollow, and Voldemort is going to kill them tomorrow night."

Dumbledore stunned Peter with a flick of his wand, and then turned to Harry, Ron and Hermione.

"Grasp my arms, I have lifted the Apparation spell, I shall take you to where they are."

A dizzy feeling came over them, like zooming down a thin tube, and then it stopped.

"Knock Harry," Dumbledore said simply.

Harry walked up to the door and knocked, and when it opened, a redhead answered.

"Mum?" Harry whispered.
