Chapter ten.

The whizzing stopped and everything was still and quiet. Lily looked around Dumbledores office, not much had changed. Her eyes settled on the wise old man who stood before her. his hair was much grayer but his eyes were still periwinkle blue and they still twinkled brighter than ever.

"Hello, I've been expecting you." He said with a smile.

"Dumble…Albus, where is Harry?" James asked, Lily remembered she had a son, she had spoken to him four weeks before, and they hadn't talked to him for a while because she couldn't find the mirror.

"I believe he is in Potions class." Dumbledore answered, James frowned, "I think you should put aside your unkind feelings for Severus Snape, just for today."

"That will be a bit hard sir."

"Albus. Just try James."

"Okay Albus." James said, he knew it would be hard to be kind to Snape after they had spent most of their lives in rivalry.

James took Lily by the hand and led him out of Dumbledores office. They walked slowly to the dungeons where Potions was held, Lily admired the school, unlike James, she hadn't been there in a while.

"Can we come back later and go down to the lake."

"Wait here." He told her, she nodded and stayed where she was as James walked down the steps of the dungeon.

Harry heard footsteps; he thought it might be a student or another teacher so he didn't really pay attention to them.

A few heads turned and people gasped as the footsteps stopped, Harry tried to concentrate on his potion, and he couldn't be bothered to turn his head. Ron nudged him, "Harry?"

"What?"

"Look."

"Why? I'm trying to work, I don't want to get zero again."

"Just look!"

"Fine." Harry turned his head to see his father smiling broadly at him; he looked at Snape whose face was red with fury.

"Excuse me, Professor." James said mockingly, "May I please speak to my son."

There were loud whispers of "Is that James Potter?" and "It can't be." And "But he's dead!" James laughed and said, "Time Turner. Snape can I have my son?

"Very well." Snape sighed angrily.

Harry slowly followed his father out of the dungeon and up the stairs. He pulled Harry towards Lily, who was staring out a window.

"Lily, I want you to meet your son, Harry Potter." He said happily, Lily turned and looked at Harry in amazement, she was meeting her seventeen-year-old son for the first time.

"Harry?"

"Mum?" Harry asked, Lily nodded her head and pulled Harry into a hug, she wiped a tear from her eye.

"I'm sorry we left you." She whispered.

"Mum, it's not your fault."

"I wish we could fix it."

"You can. I'll help you. Let me come back with you. How long are you staying?"

"A week. I don't know if you can come back, we'll have to ask Professor Dumbledore if you can come, but it's fine with me." James said, "But for now, let's go and catch up."

Harry decided to take his parents to the Gryffindor common room; they weren't going to be staying there, Dumbledore said that they could stay in a spare dorm that was left for people who were visiting teachers. Lily thought it was the perfect holiday, she finally had met her son, and she was back at Hogwarts, she could see all her old friends again.

As Harry was giving the password to the Fat Lady a man walked towards them.

"Have some visitors Harry?" he said, James turned around to face him. He was strangely familiar, his sandy brown hair was graying and he had dull blue eyes, his face was tired and wrinkled.

"James? Lily?" he said, then James realised who he was.

"Remus? Hi!" Remus hugged both of them tightly,

"It's been sixteen years!" he said,

"It's been a few days for us!" Lily said happily,

"Let's go inside, then we'll have a nice long talk, I don't have a class to teach at the moment. So I have a bit of time to spend!"

"Yes, hurry up and go inside!" the fat lady said angrily.

They hurried inside and got comfortable in the common room, James sat in his favourite armchair – which was also Harry's favourite – and Lily sat on his lap.

"So, how's life been?" Lily said, "I want you to tell me everything!"

"Well, I grew up with Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon." He said, James frowned,

"They haven't been the best of guardians to Harry," James said to her,

"Well, we'll just have to pay them a little visit won't we?" Lily said,

"Remus how's Jen? Are you two still together?" James asked him; Remus' happy face creased into a sad one, "She was killed." He said quietly.
