Chapter 4
When Ron finally left Harry, he felt a little bit better about the whole ordeal. Noticing that there was still one last letter to read, he gave out a sigh and sat down. Harry unfolded the old parchment and started to read.
To our Beloved Harry,
If you are reading this, then that means we (meaning your mother and I) have done our job in protecting you. Granted that you don't like the fact that we are not there with you, but know that we loved you so much that we sacrificed our lives so that you can live-live to be the best wizzard we know that you can be.Son, there are no words to describe how much your mother and I loved you. You are and will always be our little boy, who loves tugging at his mums hair and who also loves eating my glasses. There's so much for me to say to you right now, and if I write down everything you're meant to hear from me and your mum then, we will be here forever writing to you. So I'm just going to cut it short, because I've found a solution as to how I'm going to tell you about our lives. We left you a pensive Harry, a pensive with all of our memories, incase something does happen to us. The pensive is in our Manor...the Potter Manor infact...it's located at the magical city of Sheffield. I'm sure you know where that is since I know your Godfather Sirius would've taken you there when you were old enough to remember it. Being stuck in The Gryffindor Estate must be boring after you've done all there is to do there. I know , my mum, your Grandmum, punished me and Sirius for pranking the Minister's daughter at a Ball once, let's just say that we were stuck there with no priviligaes to our brooms whatsoever. Okay anywhoo...your dear ol dad is getting off topic here, no matter...the pensive Harry, is at the master suite of the Family wing. Now son, there are alot of charms your mother placed on our master suite, she says is to keep our secrets safe...women..so as soon as you're standing infront of our room a house elf should appear and guide you the rest of the way. Just remember that we love you so much Harry...don't ever forget that.
With all my Love,
Dad
Once Harry was finished reading, he closed his eyes to shut the tears from comming down. He deeply breathed in and gave a loud exhale with his mouth. Slowly Harry opened his green orbs which was shining in unshed tears, and he looked at the letter and said to himself "I love you guys too dad."
"Is that really them Albus? I mean what if they are impostors or worse DeathEaters pretending to be them?" ratinalized Minerva in a low voice.
Madame Pomphrey scoffed at the Professor "If the was really an impostors as you say, then they would've changed to their original selves, after all using polyjuice potion lasts for only a limited amout of time...one hour to be exact."
"I believe that they are not under any spells or potions professor. However, we must take precautions around the two until we recieve any answers to our many questions."stated the Headmaster.
Oblivious as to what was going on around them, the two now awake figures were confused as to why they were in their alma matter. The red head woman finally broke their silence "Ummm...excuse me, but hand me a glass of water? I'm extremely parshed,and since I don't recall where my wand is at the moment I'm sort of useless in getting things for myself."
The four mentors looked at the woman who spoke, mouths hung open, and before the poor woman knew what was going on, she was immediately bombarded with questions from the school healer, auror and transfiguration teacher.
"How are you feeling?"
"Who are you really?"
"How did you get to be in Lily and James' bodies? Merlin Bless their souls!"
"Are you in any type of pain?"
"How do we know that we can trust you?"
"Who sent you?"
"Enough!" exclaimed Professor Dumbledore at the youthful acting adults. "Please give Mrs Potter something to drink Poppy as well as Mr. Potter."
"Ofcourse Headmaster and I will also get their potions."
As she scurried away towards her office, James cleared his throatand broke the silence the developed "Ummm...what happened? What are my wife and I doing at Hogwarts? and where's ..." before James could finish his querries he was interrupted by a now hysterical Lily.
"Harry!" Lily Potter exclaimed, "where's my son? where's my baby? I want my son now! Do you hear me? Bring me Harry!"
"Harry."
Stratled by the voice calling his name, Harry recollected himself and blinked his tears away and then stood to open the doors. He paused for a moment, taking a deep breath and stated to slowly open the door. Behind the other side of that same door stood a figure of authority and mentor, nodding to the boy he stepped in and quietly shut the door behind him.
"Harry can I talk to you for a minute?" asked the sandy blonde haired man.
"Sure , why not?"
"It's about Godric's Hollow," he stated. "If you want to go back there tomorrow, we can go...we have to go early though so you can have the whole day to explore. I'll have to ask Molly to make us some snacks, but I'm sure it will be no problem to her. So what do you think?"
"Okay Remus, sounds like a plan, but do you think I can also bring Ron and Hermione with us? I really want them to see this too." pleaded the young boy.
The warewolf smiled at his charge and said "Sure harry, I don't see why not. Now you best get some sleep before Molly puts you to bed herself...you know how she gets."
Harry smirked as his response to Remus "Night Remus."
"Goodnight Harry." as he was turning to leave, Remus paused by the door and said "I'm here for you whenever you need me Harry...night or day my door will always be open for you."
"I know Remus...and Thank you" he replied softly.
Wit those words said, the pair went in their respective rooms and fell asleep peacefully.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Calm down Lily." softly spoke Dumbledore. "Harry is well, but sadly I cannot say that you will be able tosee him tonight."
That wasn't the response that Lily wanted to hear. naturally she was absolutely livid. "WHAT!" screamed the red head. "What do you mean I can't see my son! Who in the bloody wolrd are you to tell me that I can't see him? I want to see my baby and I want to see him now." Lily's voice went from screamming to a very dangerously low...so low that James was flinching every time she spoke. "I really don't care if you're the World's Greatest Wizzard - so help me Merlin - you will be the World's Greatest Dead Wizzard if you don't bring me my son now...I will make you regret the day you came in between me and my baby!"
James looked onto the pair of powerful beings...one of them his beloved wife who infact looked like she wanted to pounce onto the Old Wizzard, while the other just looked liked he was beaten at a very important game of wizzard's chess.
"Calm down Lily love. I'm sure theres a perfectly good explanation as to why Albus can't bring our own son to us now." soothed James. He stood up from where he was sitting and went into the bed where his wife was and hugged her. " Besides, maybe he just fell asleep or maybe he's trying to sleep - Merlin knows its late already as it is love."
"But James, I want him here with me. After what happened at home and that low life, good for nothing, sick, twisted, evil , bastard Voldersnort tried killing us - I want to hold him." sighed a clamer Lily, not noticing the looks the others were giving each other.
"Lily," cautiously spoke Dumbledore."James' right, I do have some explanations as to why I cannot bring young Mr. Potter here tonight. But before I do, I need to know what happened that night Voldermort came to your home."
Professor McGonagall looked at the Professor as if he had two heads and spoke her mind "Albus, don't you think it's wise to let them tell such a tale now? Can't it wait till morning? They need their strengths to endure tomorrow."
" I understand your concerns Minerva, but it is best if they get out in the open now to better prepapre them for tomorrow." replied Albus. "Please, I do not ask you this if it wasn't for your own good, so I ask you to share your experiences with the rest of us."
Before either of the two could say anything, Madame Pomphrey came bustling about with water and potions floating behind her. She directed the potions and water to go to their repective palces. "Now I need for the two of you to take these potions so you could get better. One potion is a vitamin type potion - designed so that you can recover more quickly and healthy...the other well it can wait till after you have spoken with the Headmaster." firmly stated the healer.
"As I have said Lily, I do have some explanations, but I need to know what happened that night." he reapeated.
Kingsley , who was quiet throughout the whole ordeal conjured up some chairs so that the four of them could sit down. Giving Lily and James a small smile, he sat down and was eager for the famous duo to tell their side to that fateful night.
Lily nodded at James as if trying to tell him that he should begin the story. Catching on James took a deep breath (something that his son inherited from him) and spoke "Well basically Lily and I were in the parlor with little Harry when all of a sudden I heard a loud noise comming from the hallway. I yelled at Lily to take Harry and go and I went to see what happened...Voldermort was standing in the hall and he said to me...
Flashback
"Well ,Well, Well...we meet again Potter, bud sadly it will be the last time as today is your day to die!" Voldermort viciously said to the Auror.
"Spare me your be scared i'm going to kill you routine Voldy... a halfblood like yourself is no match for a pureblood like me...you said so yourself...the purer the blood the more powerful they are." spat James.
"You stupid ingrate...CRUCIO!" yelled the red eyed man.
James dodged the spell just in time. With his Auror instincts he quickly took his stance and fired spell after spell at the enemy. "Bombarda!"
Voldermort was blasted away towards the wall, James cautiously made his way towards his fallen nemisis and once there he lifted his wand and said "I believe today is your day to die old coot...Avada..."
Before he could finish the spell Voldermort woke up and beat him to the punch..."AVADA KEDAVRA!" (an: did I spell that right?)
End Of Flashback
"And the next thing I knew...here I am." ended James.
"I believe its my turn...well like James said he yelled at me to go so I did. I kind of had a feeling it was him at the door so I tried to get Harry out of the house, but I guess he somehow put a locking charm on all of the doors and windows...we were trapped. I took Harry to his room and that when I heard a loud noise downstairs and i thought of the worst thing has happened, so I prepared myself for him comming. I put Harry down in his crib and performed a Blood Protection charm as well as a Love protection charm combined. and thats when it happened. He was telling me to ..." tears were flowing down her beautiful face as she closed her eyes to try to stop them from crying out fully from the hurt and anguish that she was put through. "he was telling me to step aside so he could get to Harry and I didn't let him, the next thing I know I was screaming andI woke up here."
"Is that everything then?" questioned Dumbledore. "Is that all that the two of you remember?"
Nodding their solem heads, Minerva Mcgonagall stood up and gave James and Lily a long overdue hug. Tears were also comming out of her eyes.Madame Pomphrey who was sniffling at best stood up and hastened to her office, no doubt to let her real feelings out, as she doesn't like to show her emotions outside of her sanctuary. Kingsley just sat there and was just shocked about what he has heard. mcgonagall gently let her ex students go...shaking out of her revine..."I believe Albus that it is your turn for some story telling. Explanations perhaps and quickly bring them up to date."
"Yes dear Professor, ofcourse." looking at the Husband and wife he slowly began to tell the tale of The Boy Who Lived. the only thing you could hear from the room were the crying and gasping and more crying as the tale was retold. When he was finally finished, shock, hurt and amazement were upon their faces.
"I believe the two of you need your rest now, swapping stories are a mind exhausting experience. So please take the sleeping potion now and we will see you all in the morning." the grandfatherly figure told them softly.
Following their orders, drank their potion and quickly fell asleep with their arms and love comforting each other. Quietly the others left to their own homes or rooms away from all the drama and life's unexpectanties and fell into a somber sleep...
