Chapter fifteen, 1997

a/n: hope you like this chapter, i'm not sure about it. it's a bit short!

i love my reviewers.

disclaimer: and then the author came down off her cloud and made a statement for the media, it consisted of two words.

"not mine."

"The healer lives at number 13 Lardan Place, and her name is Genika Hangart." Remus said, reading off a piece of paper. "We should apparate."

James nodded as they turned into an alley, to see a very big man punching a little boy. "Oi!" he yelled as he realised the big man was actually Dudley Dursley, the boy who had been yelling at him earlier. "Dursley, let that boy go now!"

"Or what? You'll tell my parents."

"Dudley you know I can do a lot worse than that." He said

"You can't, you're not over seventeen. You're supposed to be at that school."

"I am over seventeen and I don't go to that school, I told you that." He said in an unkind tone, James wasn't about to let Dudley hurt a young boy.

"Why? Did they expel you?"

"No, I finished ages ago. I already told you that. Now let him go."

Dudley released the boy, James watched him scamper away like a mouse.

"Who are you anyway?" Dudley sneered

"James Potter. You know that, geez how dumb can you get?

"James Potter? You're Harry's dad? You can't be, you're dead!" Dudley said quietly getting more afraid by the minute.

"What? Who's Harry?" James was getting frustrated

"The boy, your kid, you were blown up. How are you here?"

"Just, shut up and go home." James shouted.

Dudley ran off, just like the little boy had done

"And don't you dare hurt anyone else!" he called after him. "Ok, let's go."

They apparated to the address of the healer, it was a grungy old cottage and the garden was overgrown. They walked up the old, eroded cobblestone path and knocked on the door.

A thin old witch with scraggly grey hair answered, "Yes?" she asked politely

"Genika Hangart?" James asked

"Yes, that's me."

"You're a healer, am I correct?" he continued

"Yes."

"And you are a friend of Albus Dumbledore?"

"Yes. He is a wonderful man."

"Yes, he is." James said. "May we come in?"

"Why, of course, I just put a pot of tea on." She said as she led them into the house.

She poured three mugs of tea and set them on the table

"My name is James Potter and this is…"

"James Potter? How did you… when did you… a time turner?"

"Yes, and this is Remus Lupin."

"Ah, Remus how is your mother?"

"I'm not sure, I haven't spoken to her since she disappeared." Remus said and took a sip of his tea.

"Well I saw her the other day when I was playing bridge."

"Oh, well, we have come about another matter." Remus said, "James' girlfriend Lily, has a disease called Tuberculosis. She is very unwell, healers back in our time cannot help us and neither can muggle doctors. We were wondering if you could help us?"

"Well, I may be able to help." She smiled, her kind blue eyes shone, "The healers of England have come up with a new method of healing, it will take about a month but it will prolong her life and she will be restored to full strength."

"That is wonderful, thank you so much!" James jumped out of his seat and hugged the old woman.

"But how am I going to heal her when she is in 1978?"

"Can you come with us back to our time?" James said

"I'm sure that can be arranged." Genika smiled again. "Can you give me a day or two, I just need to let my children know what is happening. I might go and see my husband while I am there; he died in 1982. I imagine he will be quite surprised. "

"Ok, we will come and pick you up on Tuesday, at around eleven o'clock." Remus said

"Twelve. I need sleep." James said

When they left Mrs. Hangart's house James walked with a skip in his step. He was ecstatic about having this healer come back to 1978 with them! His Lily would survive!
