Harry, Lily, Ginny, and James met near the door of the basement. There was an awkward silence for a moment until James spoke up.

"I'm sorry, Evans." He murmured, looking at the floor.

"Apology… accepted." Lily said, though a bit grudgingly.

James' head shot up and his eyes brightened hopefully, "Really?"

Lily nodded, "Yeah."

"Thanks!" James said happily.

"But it doesn't mean we're friends." Lily said sharply.

James nodded understandably, "Right."

"Well, let's go down." said Ginny.

James and Lily went first, and then Ginny and Harry went. Harry put an arm around Ginny's waist and looked down at her proudly. "We did well." he said, triumph glistening in his eyes.

Ginny smiled and nodded, "We did very well."

"Well, that took you a while." Sirius said with a roll of his eyes.

"Everything alright?" Remus asked. Lily and James nodded slightly.

"It's 4:30, we can use something to eat." Harry said, glancing at the clock.

James nodded. "Dolly!" he hollered.

There was a crack and Dolly appeared.

"Yes, Master James, sir?" Dolly squeaked. She glanced at Remus with large, shining eyes. He shifted uncomfortably.

"Can you bring some sandwiches and pumpkin juice for us?" James asked.

"Yes, Master James." Dolly said, and with a crack she was gone.

"So, what do you think of Raye?" Sirius1 asked everyone.

"She's okay. But there's something about her… she's hiding something." James said, creasing his eyebrows.

"Yeah," Remus agreed, "though we're all entitled to our privacy." He was clearly thinking about his lycanthropy.

"She's fantastic." Sirius said dreamily. Harry snorted in amusement.

"Who's Raye?" Ginny asked curiously.

"She's a new student in our year. She got sorted into Gryffindor." Remus explained.

"Oh, is she nice?" Lily asked.

"We've just met her, but she's decent enough. She's not one of those Pureblood freaks, like Malfoy and Nott, thank Merlin." Harry said.

There was a crack and Dolly appeared with food and drinks. They ate and talked until 5:30.

"Can we please be done for the day?" Sirius whined, "All this concentration's hurting my brain!"

"Sure," Harry said with a laugh, "We can do more tomorrow."

"Why don't we play Quidditch?" James suggested brightly.

"Yeah!" Sirius exclaimed. Harry grinned.

James, Sirius1, Sirius, Remus, Ginny, and Harry played Quidditch, three people on each team. Remus was the Keeper, Sirius was the Chaser, and Harry was the Seeker for one team, and James was the Chaser, Sirius1 was Keeper, and Ginny was the Seeker for the other. Hermione and Lily watched the game and chatted.

Ginny had brought her Nimbus 2008, and Remus and Sirius borrowed some brooms from James' shed. The game ended when Harry caught the snitch, but James' team won because he scored more points. It ended around 8, and they were all sweaty and sticky when they flew down.

"You guys should take a shower, you stink." Hermione said, scrunching her nose daintily. Lily turned her head away, to block out the smell.

"Thanks, Hermione." Ginny said sarcastically.

After they all took showers, they headed down to the kitchen, where Lily and Hermione were already warming some food up.

"What's for dinner, Mums?" Sirius asked goofily. Hermione and Lily rolled their eyes.

"Well, we found some food in the refrigerator and we warmed it up. We mixed up some chocolate pudding for dessert." Hermione answered with a smile.

"Great!"

After everything was set, they began to eat.

"You guys can stay overnight if you want to." James said uncertainly. He watched Ginny and Lily nervously.

Lily was about to politely decline, but Ginny spoke up before Lily could.

"Thanks! That'd be great!" Ginny exclaimed cheerfully.

"B-but," Lily stuttered.

James' broad grin faltered. "You don't want to stay?"

Lily looked for excuses. "Er, well, our stuff, our clothes-"

"We can transfigure some stuff into clothes." James offered.

Lily knew she couldn't find a way out of this, and apparently, everyone else did too. She glared at their amused faces. She sighed. "Fine, we'll stay." Lily finally said through gritted teeth.

"Great!" James said with a grin.

Once they finished eating, Hermione and Lily brought out bowls of pudding, that had whipped cream on the top and a strawberry on top of that.

"Wow that looks great!" Sirius1 complimented.

They finished dessert and got up from their seats around 9:30. Everyone was tired and getting ready to go to sleep. Ginny was sitting in Harry's room and they were goth sitting on the bed. Harry had his arm around Ginny.

"It's going to be hard to get Lily and James together." Harry whispered.

"Yeah, but we'll get them together in the end. I'll help you as much as I can." Ginny whispered back.

"Thanks, Gin. I don't think I could go through all of this without you… You don't know how glad I am that you, Hermione, and Sirius are here with me." Harry said softly.

Ginny answered him with a sweet smile and a light kiss. "Why don't you call them Mum or Dad?" she wondered, thinking of how Harry had just called them 'Lily' and 'James'. (Just to clarify that, she means when Harry said it up there, look at the bolded words)

"I can't, really, can I? They're not really my parents. They didn't, er, have me yet. That's not my Mum and Dad, they're just… kids. They don't even love each other yet." Harry said.

"They will, soon." Ginny said. She kissed his cheek. "But James knows. And he loves you. As a dad, too, he just doesn't realize it."

Harry tweaked her nose lightly. "When did you get so smart?" he said with a smile.

She cocked her head. "I am smart, aren't I?" she said with a giggle.

Harry grinned and kissed her. It soon started a huge snogging session. Harry pulled her to him and caressed her cheek with one hand, while rubbing his hand around the small of her back. Ginny had one hand around his neck and the other running through his hair. His tongue lined her mouth, as if asking to be let in. Ginny gladly parted her lips and his tongue entered. She let her tongue run freely in his mouth, and lined around his lips. This continued for about 10 minutes.

They reluctantly pulled away, breathing heavily. Harry took a glance at Ginny, and she looked back at him. She smiled at him and he smiled back. Harry put his arms around her. She laid her head down on his chest and placed a hand on his stomach.

Harry lowered his head and whispered roughly into her ear, "I love you."

"I love you, too." Ginny whispered back.

Harry and Ginny woke up from the sound of pops. They looked at each other in the dark and got out their wands. They silently walked across the room and out the door where they met everyone else, with their wands out. All of them soundlessly slid down the banister. They tip toed to the door of the kitchen. Harry put one finger up, then two, then at three, they slammed the door open.

"Mum! Dad!" James gasped, relieved.

"Mr. and Mrs. P! You scared the living shit out of us!" Sirius exclaimed.

"Oh, we're awfully sorry! We didn't mean to wake you all." Maria said apologetically.

"You thought we were Death Eaters?" Henry asked, eyeing their wands.

They nodded. It was two in the morning.

"That's good." Henry said. They looked confused. He clarified that. "It's good to keep cautious. It's better than being too careless. It could kill you."

"So, which one of you is Lily and which one's Ginny? I can't tell, both of you have extravagant red hair." Maria asked brightly.

Lily blushed and said, "I'm Lily Evans."

"Ah, the one James adores so much." Henry said, grinning.

Both Lily and James blushed furiously. Remus and Sirius didn't even bother to hide their sniggers.

"Dad!" James hissed in embarrassment.

"And you must be Ginny." Maria said, looking at Ginny with a smile.

Ginny nodded with an uncertain smile.

"James talks about you, a lot, too. About how you're such a great friend, and such." Henry said.

Ginny grinned at James.

An owl suddenly swooped into the kitchen.

"Sirius, dear, would you get that?" Maria asked.

"Right-O." Sirius said. He took the letter from the owl, gave a pat on the head, and opened it. He read it aloud:

Messrs. Potter, Donovan, Black, Lupin, and Courtley, and Miss. Evans, Granger, and Wheeler,

Please come to my office as soon as possible. This is a Portkey that will take you to my office.

Sincerely, Albus Dumbledore

Harry frowned. It was 2 in the morning. 'This had better be important, Albus.' Harry thought.

"We'll be back soon." James said to his parents.

Everyone took hold of the letter and they were transported to the Headmaster's office.

"Take a seat, everyone." Dumbledore said as soon as they arrived.

"What is it, Albus?" Sirius1 asked worriedly.

Dumbledore turned to Harry. "Tom knows of your identity, correct?" Harry nodded.

"And today you got your scar back?" Harry nodded once again.

"Then it is true… there is a faithful follower from your time that has informed Tom about you… All about you. Now, I suppose he knows everything, and will try to erase the problem before it happens. He will try to kill your parents before you're born." Dumbledore said.

Harry paled.

"What? What do you mean, Professor? What's going on?" Lily asked.

Harry looked at James, then Lily, then to Dumbledore. He sighed.

"Go ahead, Harry." Dumbledore said with a sigh.

Harry nodded. "Lily, it may be hard to grasp, but…you're my Mum."

"W-what? I'm a year younger than you! I-I can't be." Lily said in disbelief, looking at him as if he were mad.

"You're my mum." Harry repeated.

Lily snorted this time. "Right and I'm Lily Potter." She said with evident sarcasm.

Harry paled considerably.

"I- we- Ginny, Sean, Hermione and I, are from the future." Harry said slowly.

Lily stared at him.

"You have got to be joking."

"It's true, Lily." Remus said, "All of us know."

"B-but, it can't be…" Lily protested, refusing to believe them.

"Hey, Evans, just hear them out." Sirius suggested.

Lily looked at him. "How?" she finally said.

"Dumbledore. He sent us back in time- I should just start from the beginning, shouldn't I?" Harry said.

Dumbledore nodded. "I will be back in an hour, or so."

"Right," Harry said as Dumbledore left the room, "So, Sean's really Sirius Black."

Lily gasped. "Black!"

Sirius1 nodded and smiled feebly.

"Yes… and I'm your son in the future." Harry said nervously.

"I've got a son? You're my son?" Lily asked, eyes shining brightly.

Harry nodded. "I'm Harry James Potter."

Lily paused, then gaped at him. "P-Potter?" she turned to James. "So then, I'd have to- Holy Merlin."

"How could-?" Lily gasped.

"I don't know either, Evans." James said with a shrug.

Lily took a deep breath. "Okay, go on." she told Harry.

"Hermione Granger is one of my best friends, Sirius1 is my godfather, and Ginny's my girlfriend. Er-"Harry paused, "Do you think we could switch off, or something? Please?" he asked Ginny, Hermione, and Sirius1.

"Alright," Sirius1 said, "It starts off when you two get married. Voldemort is after you…"

They switched off until Harry's 7th Year.

"Do you want to tell her, Harry?" Hermione asked him.

Harry nodded slowly. "I haven't told anyone the details, yet."

"What happened?" Lily asked somewhat hesitantly. She was afraid to know what happened, after listening to the horrible events Harry had gone through in the past years.

"Well, first there was one on Halloween night. Not many got hurt or anything, just some Death Eaters having some 'fun'." Hermione answered.

"When was the Final Battle?" Sirius asked.

Harry spoke. "June 1st. Just one week before the summer holidays. Everything was great…"

Alright, so, how was it? In the next one, it's going to start out as a flashback, on the Final Battle. And for the people that were curious about his scar being back, it's just because Voldemort knows everything now and a little of Raye. I don't know, I just felt that it needed to be there.

Also, just warning you guys, I'll probably contradict some things in the story later on. It's hard not to, really. Now I really admire all those authors with important and complicated plots… really! How do they stop themselves from contradicting the story? Well, if that happens, terribly sorry!
