A/N: Dun dun dun dun! How ever will Harry solve this? You'll just have to see. (I don't actually have anything to say.) After this we have two chapters left. 2! And READ THE FLASHES! I'VE ADDED SOME NEW ONES!
Disclaimer: Don't own it.
Last time: "Don't do anything rash, Harry. Potter's tend to make snap decisions, you got that from your mother," Remus called after him, but Harry hardly heard. His mind was too full of dates, prophecies, and a spell to alter the fabric of time.

Chapter 21: Flashback (AKA Go To Him)
Lily Potter sat in her in her living room, splayed out across her brown suede sofa. With the Daily Prophet propped up against her pregnant belly and a goblet of pumpkin juice in the other, she read her newspaper in peace. James wouldn't be home for another hour, Sirius was with James, and Remus hardly ever visited anymore, so she relished in the knowledge that she had some time to herself. This was nice. She could only remember feeling this relaxed once in her life, but she couldn't remember where. Her sixth school year memories had always been fairly blurry. It didn't bother her much any more.
There was a crisp knock on the kitchen door and she turned sharply to fetch her wand. Casting a see-through mirror spell, she saw it was just the figure of her husband, home early. Just in case it was an imposter, she lugged herself off the sofa and waddled into the kitchen.
"James, why on earth are you knocking? Um… What's the scent of the shampoo I use?" she called through the door.
"Lavender," he answered, facing away from her. She swung the door open and stepped aside to let him through. He turned and she saw that though he was not her husband, he was like his twin. But he had green eyes like her own and an oddly shaped scar on his forehead. "I'm sorry to disturb you, but are you Lily Evans?" She blinked.
"Lily Potter now, but yes I am. How may I help you?" His eyes fell on her enormous belly and a lopsided grin graced his face. How ironic, perfect timing, he thought.
"Well, I'm on the look out for a heart shaped locket, the locket being about the size of a muggle coin?" She quirked an eyebrow.
"I have a necklace like that, but it's a hollow pendant, not a locket." She pulled the offending necklace out from under her maternity robe, and noticed the man's eyes soften. "Are you a relative of James?"
"You could say so. Do you mind if I try something to the necklace? I believe it's the one I'm looking for." His mother bit her lip.
"I would say yes, but the necklace has never unclasped. It's been on me since my school days." He nodded.
"May I anyway?" She shrugged, wondering why she was so inclined to trust him. Perhaps it was his remarkable likeness to her husband. Maybe it was because he seemed to know more than she did for some reason. He pulled out his wand and rested the tip on the bent silver. He mumbled something she didn't catch. The metal burned and she yelped, as the man stepped away. She watched in awe as the hinges appeared, and a long thin strand of white material uncoiled itself from inside the heart, before circling around her head like a halo. Slowly, it broke and one by one each memory plunged through her temple.
FLASH
"Here, it will keep you warm," Remus said with a smile as his blue eyes twinkled in the moonlight.
FLASH
"Wait, Remus. Take me with you," she asked as he turned, eyes full of lust and wishes.
FLASH
"You can sleep up here, nothing's going to happen." He looked doubtfully at the silk sheets.
FLASH
"You're cute when you wake up," she whispered as he blushed deeply, nuzzling her head against his chest.
FLASH
"Fine Prongs, I'll tell you. I'll let you in on a well-kept secret," Remus stated calmly, as Lily chewed on her hair.
FLASH
"What's wrong?" he asked as she tried to calm herself.
"Nothing, just a nightmare."
FLASH
"Just because Remus doesn't shag everything that moves doesn't mean he's a loser, Potter," she spat, as James' face went from peach to white.
FLASH
"This smells like you," he remarked, gesturing to the pearly potion.
"Same here."
FLASH
"Can I kiss you?" he asked softly as James yelled in the background. "I'll take that as a yes," he whispered seductively, before catching her lips in a mind-blowing snog.
FLASH
"Let
me show you," she breathed, before kissing him again.
FLASH
"I'm with Remus, stop bothering me," she begged.
"But you know you shouldn't be."
FLASH
"A werewolf actually," he stammered.
"And yet I'm still here."
FLASH
"Who would you rather date, Evans? Me or Remus?" James asked confidently.
FLASH
"I love you Remus," she admitted as the chill pulled her closer to him.
"I love you Lily."
FLASH
"Get the fuck off her!" Remus screamed, tearing James away from her.
FLASH
"Because you have me. You will always have me."
FLASH
"You're amazing, Lily Evans. Bloody amazing," Remus stuttered as she kissed his bare shoulder, absorbing the quiet of the Shrieking Shack, not above basking in the afterglow.
FLASH
"You're Potter's son."
"And yours."
FLASH
"It's charmed so that it won't come off until you stop loving me."
"Then it won't come off until the day I die."
FLASH
"You can't, my dear, you must enjoy what is left."
FLASH
"I've had more of those dreams, they come every night now."
FLASH
"There's not much left, is there?"
"I'm not going to tell you."
"You just did."
FLASH
"Why does this seem so forced all of a sudden?"
FLASH
"Bye Remy."
"Wait, Lily! No please, it is! It is!"
FLASH
"You called me Lily."
"Yes I did."
FLASH
"Why should I? You dump me spur of the moment and kissed my best friend five minutes later! Why in the name of bloody Merlin should I listen to a word you have to say?"
FLASH
"Promise me you won't ever hate me for what I'm about to do."
"I could never hate you Re-"
"Promise it."
FLASH
The memories over came her and enveloped her in emotions long hidden. She staggered under the weight of them as they whizzed past. When she opened her eyes she saw Harry. He smiled sadly at her as he helped her to her feet.
"Oh Harry," she gasped, smothering him in a hug. "What on earth should I do?"
"Go to him. Go now."

A/N: I hope those flashes didn't get to annoying. I couldn't resist! They're fun to write! Anyway, I bet you're all curious as to what will be Remus' response to the well-kept secret being shared. –Tee hee- BTW, the next chapter is TINY!
"Well hello Lily, what's the occa-," but he stopped mid sentence when he saw that the heart shaped locket around her neck was open.
