Chapter 11: Telling McGonagall, Weasleys And Tonks

At Grimmauld Place…

"Thank you all for staying. As you know, we have something to tell you, something that concerns our return and something that you can't tell anyone else." James told the small group collected in the living room. Everyone else had left 30 minutes ago. The only people left who didn't know were Arthur, Molly, Charlie, Bill, George and Fred Weasley and Tonks (who Charlie was currently dating and had been for a year or so). Ron, Harry and Hermione advised James and Lily against telling Percy because he was in Ron's words, 'He's running to the wrong side with a pathetic loser'. "And Minnie, we need you to get in contact with Albus and tell him." James winked at her.

"James, you know better than to call me Minnie." Minerva told him. James just shrugged. "James Potter, you were, are and will always be like that, you are impossible."

"Actually, that's me." Sirius winked at her. McGonagall gave a long sigh.

"Getting back onto this subject. We need you to promise not to tell anyone. We need your word." Lily said to them. One by one, they each promised not to tell another soul without their permission. Fred and George looked confused.

"But how come-" Fred said.

"You haven't got-" George said.

"Ron, Ginny or Hermione-"

"To promise this?"

"We found out yesterday, Ron and I, and we told Ginny this afternoon. We all promised when we found out." Hermione explained.

"So what-"

"Is this-"

"News then?" They finished together.

James and Lily looked at each other, then to Remus and Sirius as if to say 'Help us explain'. The look they received was like 'do it yourself, like we know'.

"It all started that Halloween. When we died, we found ourselves in a bright place. We were greeted by someone called Leo who told us that we were being given another chance. When we asked how, he told us that we had a chance at being Whitelighters." Gasps from Molly and Tonks were heard, but James continued on. "We were told that our sacrifices for Harry earned us enough credit to become Whitelighters. But we were also told that we weren't to get any charges for years, so we had to remain up 'there,'" James used a nod upwards to indicate it, "until our charges found us. Which they did. Yesterday. About 5pm." James gave the obvious hints to the Weasley's, hoping they would get the hint.

"Wait James." Arthur stopped him. "Are you trying to tell me that Harry is one of your charges?"

"That's exactly it Arthur." Lily said. "He's mine more specifically, with two others as mine and two others for James. All of whom are in this room right now."

"Ron, Hermione, Sirius and Remus." Tonks said, putting two and two together. Lily and James nodded.

"Got it in one Tonks. The kids are Lily's and Remus and Sirius are my charges." James explained.

"But wait-" Fred said.

"How come-" George continued.

"They get-"

"Whitelighters-"

"And we-"

"Don't." They finished together.

"Because we were told by Leo that because Harry has to defeat Voldemort (The Weasley's, minus Ginny, all flinched at this) and Ron, Hermione, Remus and Sirius has to help him train, so they thought that they would give them all a Whitelighter." Lily said. "And we have to help as well. We got our wands back from Leo."

"Who is this Leo you keep mentioning?" Molly asked.

"The Whitelighter who greeted us. We've kept his friendship throughout the years and he's the Charmed Ones Whitelighter."

"The Charmed Ones? Wow, that's a lot of power." Charlie said.

"Yeah, pretty amazed by wands too." Harry told them with a grin.

"You've met the Charmed Ones?" Bill asked, amazed.

"Yesterday. They were gonna summon mum and dad, but then it didn't work, then Leo orbed back in and they orbed in just after him." Harry explained. It was the happiest moment in his life, he had kept re-playing it over and over in his mind.

"Wait, yesterday? Did you go alone?" Molly asked. Her answer was Harry, Ron and Hermione's guilty faces. "So you lied to us? You went all the way to San Francisco instead of Diagon Alley? That is over 4000 miles away! Anything could have happened to you three! You could have come out the wrong fireplace! You could have even died!" Molly screeched.

"Sorry mum, but Harry really wanted to see his parents." Ron said, his ears going pink.

"It's true, they weren't sure about going, but I really wanted to go and they wouldn't have let me go alone." Harry covered for them. Molly looked like she was going to yell at them again, but Remus got in before she could talk.

"Molly, they are fine now. They just proved their friendship with Harry more. They were willing to go that far to help Harry with something they didn't even know would work." Molly's expression softened when she too realised this.

"Sorry. I guess it's just so far away, I fear for your wellbeing all the time you know."

"So what about Ginny?" George asked.

"How does she know?" Fred finished.

"Ok, that's creepy how you do that." Harry said.

"I totally agree with Harry. Guess it's a twin thing. Anyway, we told her earlier today when she came over with Ron and me to get our overnight things ready."

Ginny nodded. "Ron wanted to tell me at home, but Hermione said to let Harry explain because it concerned him more."

Bill shrugged. "Makes sense. So what powers does a Whitelighter actually have?"

"Orbing, healing, glamouring and hovering. They're the basic four you receive." Lily told the small group.

"Can you show us?" The twins chorused.

"Sure." James grabbed their hands and orbed out, which made the Weasley's (minus Ron and Ginny) and Tonks jump.

"Whoa! That's kinda weird." Charlie said.

"Think that's weird, do ya? Watch this." Lily grabbed Harry's hand and orbed out. Within 5 seconds, two people orbed back in but one of them wasn't Lily. There were two Harry's in the room.

"Ok, that is so much weirder. Which one is the real Harry?" Bill said.

"I am." They both said.

"Hey, mum! That's creepy." One of them said. The other smirked and orbed in and out but this time as Lily (A/N: You know when they are using Leo as practice for Belthazor in season 3 of Charmed, she does what he does to turn back into himself) and still smirking.

"Can you get through anti-apparation barriers with that?" Tonks asked.

"Yeah. Pretty cool huh?" Lily smiled.

"I'll say, I'd kill for something like that. Well maybe not literally." Tonks smiled. "So, it's basically apparation with a pretty light show?"

Yeah, I guess. And you can't get splinched." James orbed back in the room with the twins.

"Wicked." They both chorused.

"Yeah it is." Harry said. "That is so much cooler than apparating."

"So what is hovering?" Bill asked.

"Exactly what it says on the tin, to use a muggle saying." Lily was lifted around 3 feet off of the ground. She came back down a few seconds later.

"Isn't that basically levitation?" Arthur asked.

"Yeah, but for some reason, the Elders call it hovering." James said. "Idiots anyway."

"Not a fan of them are you?" Bill said with a grin.

"No, they are such pessimists." James said, repeating the comment he made yesterday.

"And healing?" Charlie asked.

"Any volunteers to be part of this?" James asked. "No? Ok, Harry come here." Harry had seen this power last night so he knew what was going to happen. "I'm just going to cast a small cutting spell on your hand, ok?" Harry nodded as James got his wand ready. Harry felt a sting of pain on his hand.

"What did you do that to the poor boy for?" Molly cried, but Lily stopped her getting up. James put his hand over Harry's and a warm glow came from it. When it stopped and he removed his hand, Harry's hand was as it was before.

"This power can heal any injury, basically, but we can't heal the dead." Lily explained.

"Wait, I'm confused. If you only have 4 powers, none of which are invisibility, how did you have that power yesterday?" Sirius asked. They hadn't got around to discussing their powers last night, they had just caught up with everything that had happened in 16 years.

"The invisibility is classed as glamouring. Kind of like bending light around your body so you blend in with your surroundings."

"That's strange. How you bend light around the body." Ron said. He hadn't known how it worked.

"Oh, it's like in Fantastic 4, one of them could turn invisible by bending light around her body." Hermione said.

"What's Fantastic 4?" Ron asked.

"A muggle film. These 5 people go into space and there is this radiation storm and they all get powers. One of them is evil though and the other 4 have to fight him. I took Ginny to see it last year in the summer holiday." Hermione said.

"Oh yeah, Johnny was really hot." Ginny smiled.

"Ginny!" Molly said.

"He was! He was called the Human Torch and he could cover himself in fire." Everyone started laughing at the misunderstanding.

"Could have made it obvious what you were talking about, Gin." Hermione said, still laughing.

Omg, whoever has seen Fantastic 4, how fit is Johnny? I was going to say hot, but he is the human torch after all so that answer would have been yes, oops rambling again, lol! One of my annoying traits, but some people love me for it, like my bestest mates in the whole wide world!
