Chapter 3The three followed Dumbledore silently up to his office. "Chocolate Frogs" Dumbledore said, and the gargoyles sprang open, allowing them to enter.
Harry stood at the doorway for a while. The room hadn't changed since the last time he was here. Besides the portraits, the desk, and the chairs, everything else was arranged exactly the same as he remembered.
There was a soft hoot, and a flutter of wings. A young phoenix swooped down and settled itself on Harry's shoulder.
"Hello Fawks…" Harry stroked the bird. He didn't notice that the headmaster was watching him with extreme curiosity. Within his robes, Harry took out some cracker crumbs. "Here…the usual treat…." Fawks nibbled on them, chirping as if saying 'thanks'.
The time travelers didn't think this was odd. Fawks had taken a likening in Harry from as long as they could remember. It had become a routine for Harry to feed Fawks (is it a s/he?) every time they met, in that case, as time went on, daily. So it was quite usual for Harry to carry food around, as whenever Dumbledore appeared, Fawks was there and Dumbledore was the type to pop out from strange places, where and when he least expected it.
Fawks then swooped off Harry's shoulder, flew around once, and settled itself on its owner's shoulder, which in turn brought Harry's attention back to Dumbledore.
The headmaster conjured 4 chairs in front of the desk and waived for them to sit. Snape took the chair on the far right. Lupin settled next to him. Cho plopped herself on the far left. Harry closed the door with a snap of his fingers, before sitting down in between his legal guardian and friend.
"So…James…will you explain yourself…" Dumbledore began, assuming as usual that Prongs was behind all this. "and where exactly is Padfoot" Harry's stomach flipped. "and Wormtail…" Fire burned in the young man's eyes. Dumbledore didn't seem to realize this, or if he noticed, ignored it. "and surprise, surprise….Severus hanging out with two Marauders? My, my, what has the world turned to…"
Snape was about to speak, but Harry leaned forward, and beat him to it.
"First off, I'm not James….Secondly Sirius isn't around anymore….Don't mention Wormtail" Harry spoke with a sense of seriousness, before adding, "You don't want to know what happened in the future….It's not pleasant…." As he said this, a cold breeze filled the room. It lowered the temperature, drastically, and caused a cold chill to run down the headmaster's back.
Lupin grasped Harry's hand, squeezing it slightly. "Control yourself…." Harry however, didn't seem to have heard him, for he continued. "You…have…no idea…." "That's enough Harry…" Lupin said sharply and loudly, hinting a sense of authority as he said his name.
"That's enough…" Lupin repeated. "he isn't suppose to know the future…no one is!! Even if Dumbledore knows…what difference would it make?? He can't help! He fell…don't you remember…Voldemort defeated him!!"
Dumbledore's eyebrows rose. "Besides, you're the only one who can defeat HIM!" "Well I did! It's HIS idea to throw us back in time! If I had anticipated that, HE would have been dead…and it would have been OVER!" Harry turned and pounded Lupin's stomach. "We wouldn't be stuck here, in the PAST. It would have ENDED," Harry drew in some breath. "It's HIS way of torture isn't it?"
From what Dumbledore heard, he came with certain conclusions. First off, this man here was called Harry. Second, and quite disturbing, Voldemort had defeated him, which could only mean the world was consumed by Darkness. Third, Harry was the only one who could defeat Voldemort, and he would have if Voldemort hadn't thrown them back in time.
"Harry…" Albus spoke softly. "It's Harry right?" Harry and Lupin stopped their bickering. "and you're related to James Potter…and…and…" "Wrong…" Silence followed as everyone looked at Harry. Why was he denying his relationship with James?
"I swear…from this moment on…I will NEVER be Potter…" "POTTER!!" Snape had to add sharply, his voice wavering. "What??!!" Harry snapped back. "WHAT THE F—K IS WRONG WITH YOUR MIND???"
Snape turned to Lupin. "Some guardian you are!!" Lupin glared at Snape. "Well you aren't any better!! You screwed everything up! Some spy you were!"
Cho watched, placing her hands over her head. By now, she was use to the three of them. They could be childish and adult like at the same time. She sighed loudly, before standing, pulled out her wand, and blasted half of the room apart.
All movement stopped. They were surprised, for Cho never got that angry. Dumbledore however, didn't seem to mind that his office was once again left in ruins. "Thank you Miss…" he muttered, now that he had everyone's attention.
"Now…shall we act a little more civilized before we proceed…?" The adults nodded. Harry said a 'sorry about that', before using his hands to fix the place up a bit.
"Who…exactly are you….?" Dumbledore squinted, his eyes behind the spectacles. He didn't see the man use a wand, and he was sure that wand less magic was unheard of. Then again, this, James look alike, could have something up his sleeve. Perhaps it was just another prank, hand or eye trick.
Before anyone could reply, the office door burst open. "Albus…I swear you need to expel these boys…." A younger, but just as stern McGonagall entered, carrying a struggling James and Sirius. Filch followed closely behind, carrying the other two, Lupin and Pettigrew. "Snape's been sent to the Poppy, again…another prank…" McGonagall continued, not noticing that Albus already had guests.
"Minvera…if you mind….I have some guest here….time travelers to be exact…." Dumbledore gestured at the four. McGonagall nearly fainted, seeing two fully grown Marauders, plus Snape, and someone she didn't know, though she looked like someone she knew.
James sniggered at this. "Ha!! I did it! I managed to time travel!!" The two gave each other a high five. Sirius didn't look too happy. "What about me?" It's unlike you to leave me out….and instead…" he choked, seeing Snape. "invite Snivellus!" James shrugged. "dunno… why don't you ask the other me…." "think I will…" Sirius turned to Harry.
"Hey, Prongs…what happened to….me….?" Harry rolled his eyes. He bent over and whispered something into his guardian's ear. Harry waited, and finally a nod came.
"OBLIVATE EVEROUS!!!!" Harry bellowed once more, this time twice, to ensure that no one, including the headmaster would remember. He watched as Dumbeldore tried to resist, the spell. Harry shook his head. "We'll meet again….but for now, let us remain as a fragment of your imagination." The four watched, as the exact same thing took place, again.
Harry stood up, once everything and everyone froze, including Dumbledore. He was wrong though, when Fawks, swooped off the headmaster and circled around the office. Harry watched curiously, wondering why the phoenix would not be affected. However, he knew that time was limited, and that everything would resume to normal, quite shortly.
However, even so, Harry could not keep his eyes off of the bird. Fawks flew from one side of the room to the other, slightly restless. Taking small steps, he followed the birds path. When he reached the other end, he noticed what Fawks was showing him. There, before him, was his school trunk, old and all worn out.
"Thanks…Fawks…" Harry miniaturized the trunk, and placed it in his pocket. "I'll be going now alright….but I'll be back soon…." Waving to the other three, they exited the office.
Here's the next chapter. Well as usual, talks with Dumbledore don't usually go well. As for the part of Harry declaring never to be a Potter, it would been furthered explained. He has many reasons, and time will reveal it.
