Disclaimer: If I owned Harry Potter do you think I'd be writing this here for all you people to see? No! I'd be writing it down in a book not on the web
Authors Note: Ok here it is! I got it out quicker than the other one. It took me a while to write this one because I had writers block, but I think it is gone now. I'd have to day that this is my favorite chapter so far. I hope you enjoy it. Looks at reviews, wow! I got a lot, thanks guys!
musicalmonk17 : Sorry, I'm glad that you like my story, but one of the deals that I made with my mom is that I can't give out my e-mail address. I like reviews and you can say anything you want I don't mind, but the e-mail is a no go sorry.
dawn( ) : Glad you like it. I wouldn't think you would be reviewing if you didn't though. I love time turner fics to and there is just something I like better about the ones where Harry goes back in time that I like more than the ones where James and/or Lily come forward in time. Keep reading.
Lady Gallatea Ravenclaw : I'm so sorry for making you wait, but it is just so hard for me to find time to write between homework and basketball and skiing and church stuff. I know that's not an excuse, but I am trying. This was as soon as I could get this chapter up.
Sallywags : Glad you like it. Harry makes up with James at the end of this chapter and he makes up with the rest of them next chapter so his life will get better.
Serindipity9 : The dulling club would have been great and now that you brought it up I'll have to add that in there somewhere. Since you came up with it would you decide on a name for it for me? And should we have Harry, Dumbledore, Moody or his new friend that you'll meet in this chapter be in charge? Thanks for the complements and I hope that I didn't take to long updating this chapter that you can't tell everyone you know about it. (Makes puppy dog eyes that she can't do to save her life and stomps angrily away if you say no). And James and Harry will have to duel. We can't have them not!
Kara Adar : Wow as in you like it or wow as in this is horrible? I'm guessing it's the former since you told me to write more.
shannyauburn : I hope you could wait long enough I'd hate to lose one of my reviewers.
Iana Moon : Well they are going to be nicer after this so you get your wish. I can't write mean people all the time. Although I can hold a grudge forever I can't write about other people holding them. Sigh, I'm such a weakling. Oh well. Any way as you can tell by how I have portrayed James so far I lost confidence in him after Harry saw that little seen, but I can hear where your coming from. Now don't get me wrong I love Sirius, but I think that if James didn't like someone neither would Sirius and visa-versa. Yes you can imagine Harry is not too happy with Dumbledore and is even madder after this chapter.
A-man( ) : Quite all right, yes quite all right. So glad you like it. I'm just glad that you reviewed again is all.
Elizabeth Annette : So glad you like it.
phoebe666 : I'm glad you think that I'm so special that you think I should eat those things though I must admit I never was fond of pudding and I ate so much cheese when I was younger that I can't eat it now. Sigh. Why can't I live a normal life? Why? Runs away sobbing and collects herself for the next review.
Sweetest Thang : Sensitive and sweet, yes. Smart, very! However I made him look a little dim from the fact that he didn't figure it out before. Oh well. Right now Harry will do nothing because he doesn't know that Remus knows.
monkeycheeks : Of course I'm going to finish writing it! I love this story! However its going to take me a while to finish it. I'm just kind of whinging it so I don't know exactly what's going to happen. I have no idea how long it's going to be or anything, but I will definitely keep writing.
Maddy : Hey Maddy what's up!? I know you already read this, but I'm answering your review anyway. Ta, see you in school.
Lil Miss Potter : Nope he doesn't mention it to Harry. I like to keep readers in suspense about those kinds of things. This chapter isn't very exciting, but it brings in a character that I've wanted to bring in for a while, but the time never felt right. I finally put her in!
MuShUgIrL : I'm guessing you like it? Only joking! Glad you like it.
Lunatic Pandora 1 : You would think that Harry would know that, but I don't know if he does. We'll just have to wait and find out now wont we.
chica91 : Truth be told I don't know what Lupin is going to do. Sigh I really should work out a plot for this story but that makes it so boring. Oh well.
beauty78900102 : Glad that you liked it and I updated sooner than last time, however I can't say the same for the next chapter.
Time Reveals All Chapter 8No, that was ridiculous! Completely impossible! Not to mention that that kind of time travel was probably illegal and dangerous. And while that would answer a lot of questions it also brought up more questions, such as why he had come. All of a sudden a voice jerked him out of his thoughts.
"Remus? Are you ok? Are you," Harry glanced around at the working elves and lowered his voice, "are you still hungry? You've been starring at your plate."
"What?" Remus said, "Oh, no, I'm fine I don't need anything else to eat, thank you. I was just wondering if we could talk."
" That's what we're doing now isn't it?" Harry said cheekily, smiling.
Remus grinned half-heartedly, " I meant somewhere more private, maybe where ever it its that you sleep cause nobody knows where that is."
"They don't? What about you? You found me here. Shouldn't you have been able to find where I'm sleeping too?"
"Yeah I probably could have, but it was easier just to find where you eat."
Harry frowned, he seemed to be thinking about a problem and the answer was avoiding him. He didn't say anything for a minute, he just sat there, then suddenly he stood up. An elf came running and bowed saying in a squeaky voice, "Leaving so soon young master? Dinner in the Great Hall is still in progress. They haven't even reached desert yet. You normally don't like to leave until they are completely finished. Is there something wrong with the food?"
"No everything is delicious as always, however I have something to do that can not wait. I will be back in the morning, would you mind sending Daisy to my room at about 10 o'clock, I need help with my essay still."
"Of course young master I will tell Daisy as soon as she returns form cleaning the Headmasters office. What do you wish for breakfast tomorrow?"
"The usual, oh and would you please send an elf to Professor Moody to tell him that I wish to add to my work schedule and will talk detail with him tomorrow."
"As you wish young master, but he will not be happy," the elf said shaking its head.
Harry sighed, "I know he won't, but he'll live, thank you."
"Always a pleasure to serve you young master," said the elf as it bowed and went back to cooking.
Harry turned to Remus, "Come on then, lets go." He had a frown on his face and did not look happy about leaving. Remus walked next to him, not saying anything.
They reached the door and all of a sudden the nervousness and anger disappeared, Harry's face had hone completely blank. Remus gave a start and Harry laughed mirthlessly, "A mask sometimes comes in handy. Then your enemies don't know what you're feeling and have no power over you."
This terminology shocked Remus, he knew that Harry was taking lessons from Moody, but this was a bit much, however before he got much of a chance to think about it, Harry took a deep breath and pushed the door open.
The hall went completely silent. They were used to Harry going through the first time, but they weren't used to seeing him come back out again. Nor were they used to seeing Remus walking next to him.
They were half way across the hall when Lily shouted, "Harry!" Harry whirled around to see Lily and Mary headed towards him and he froze.
His eyes shifted away from the approaching girls and met James' eyes. Anger and the ultimate hatred was etched into his entire face. Harry's blood ran cold and instead of feeling angry right back, sadness engulfed him and a tear slipped down his cheek. Hastily he whipped it away, but it was too late. James was starring at him like he had grown another head. Fear coursed through him mixing with the sadness and he turned and fled.
James watched him go. He was shocked to say the least. From the minute Harry had walked in with Remus, hatred had coursed through him. His life had been perfect. Well almost, he had the greatest friends, and sooner or later Lily was bound to go out with him. Then Prezorski had shown up and every thing had gone down the tubes. Lily didn't want to look at him and Remus was siding with her. This boy was responsible for messing up his life. Now he was confused though. When Harry had looked at him all that anger had frozen and then melted and got washed away. And guilt had seeped into him when he saw Harry cry. He felt guilty for what he had done to Harry. After all Harry was new here and it was he, James, who had started the fight, not Harry. And looking back Harry had never done anything to him. He would have to apologize.
Harry ran outside not even noticing the cold or the biting wind. Tears were flowing freely down his cheeks, but he didn't pay attention to them, he just kept running.
He stopped when he was out of breath and took in his surroundings. He gulped; this was where, in his third year, he had saved Sirius from the dementors. He started to turn to go somewhere else when he heard something.
He whirled around trying to find the source of the sound, but it seemed to be coming from every direction. The sound grew louder and he recognized the sound of a galloping horse.
All of a sudden there was a blinding flash of white light. He threw up his hands to shield his face and took a step back, lost his balance and fell.
The light slowly faded, but left speckles on his vision. H shook his head to try and clear it. The hoof beats had stopped. He looked up and fear caught him as he scrambled to his feet.
The horse was dangerous enough in its self. Easily 17 hands high with a long mane and tail, it was as black as the night, which made it hard to see, with not a white hair on it. It wore no bridle, leaving its head free, but wore a saddle with no stirrups and appeared to be made out of black leather.
In the saddle was a girl. Because she was sitting down he couldn't judge how tall she was, but he guessed she would be quite tall upon standing up. Her long brown hair was tied back with a black hair tie and she wore well-fitted long black pants and a long-sleeve black shirt. Her feet were bare and his suspicion on her height was confirmed and she dismounted.
Slowly he reached for his wand as she turned towards him, but stopped when she laughed.
"Don't bother getting your wand out Harry. I may wear black, but I'm no Death Eater. Black just allows me to go around unseen. Anyway you'll need much more training before you can throw a spell at me that will actually hit me, but then again that's why I'm here."
Harry could do nothing but gape at her, "H-how do you k-know m-m-my name?" He stuttered.
She laughed, "I know a lot of things Harry Potter. Some good things some bad things, but many things." All of a sudden she turned and looked straight into his eyes, something she had not done yet, and he gasped.
"Y-your eyes!" He was stunned. Her eyes were coal black.
She laughed again, "Yes, not only do I know things, but I have seen things and gone through things that no human should have to face. That's why I am here. I want to help you with your training and in the end I will travel back with you and help you defeat Voldemort. Will you have me as your ally?" She held out her hand.
Harry starred at it for a minute, but something was telling him to trust this stranger. He reached out and shook her hand. She smiled at him. "What's your name?" He asked.
She looked at him a minute as though contemplating her answer, "Call me Mandarb."
"Ok Mandarb, welcome to Hogwarts. You said you were going to help me with my training, how? And how much do you know about me?"
Mandarb chuckled, "I know quite a lot about you Harry, all that is important is you are from the future. Here you are Harry Prezorski. I know about the prophecy and I know what it means. When your time here is up I will travel back to your time with you and help you fight. As for how I'm going to help you train I am a master in many weapons and will teach them to you. I will also be your martial arts instructor and I will be teaching you wand less magic. I was sent by the Dumbledore in your time and will be your personal bodyguard. Everyone else will know mi as 'Moody's assistant'."
Harry froze information swirled around in his brain, but only two things clicked. "Dumbledore sent you? To be my bodyguard! I don't need a bodyguard I'm not weak!"
"No one said you were," Mandarb soothed, "but having me for a bodyguard is an easier way for me to help you train. I will not fight for you, only watch until things get out of hand and at the end, if you wish me to, tell you how to improve. Trust me."
There it was again, the sensation that this girl who was no older than him would never betray him and would fight with him to the bitter end. He nodded, "Ok, lets go inside I'm sure you have things to work out with Dumbledore and Moody."
She smiled, "Not at all actually I worked everything out earlier. Now just two more quick things before we go in. Moody will still be your main defense professor and things like dark creatures and spell. Also do you want me to be seen?"
Harry gave her a puzzled look, "I don't know what you mean."
"I can blend in with the shadows so that no one can see me or I can make my presence known."
"Make your presence known I don't like the idea of you sneaking around the castle after me."
At this Mandarb laughed before saying, "Alright then its time for you to get some sleep. Your going to need it for tomorrow, trust me," and with that she laughed again.
"What are you going to do with your horse?" Harry asked as Mandarb walked over and patted her horse.
"He'll live in the forest, and don't give me that look, he'll be perfectly fine trust me, he knows how to defend himself against anything in here don't worry, now lets go," and with that she turned and started walking in the direction of the castle while her horse trotted off on to opposite direction.
Harry hurried to catch up wondering just what he had gotten himself into.
"Hey! Sleepy head! Wake up!" Harry raised his arms in defense against the person who was attacking his head with a pillow.
"Wake-whack-up-whack-sleepy-whack-head-whack. Today-whack-is-whack-your-whack-first-whack-day-whack-of-whack-training-whack. So-whack-get-whack-up-whack-NOW!" The last word was shouted in his ear causing him to bolt up in bed, completely disoriented and, as a result, became tangled in the sheets and fell out of bed with a loud thump.
Laughter echoed around the room as he saw the blurry figure of Mandarb rolling on the ground laughing. He glared at her and disentangled himself while reaching up to grab his glasses.
As the blurry room came into focus Harry glanced at the clock to see that it was five thirty. He groaned, "Mandarb it's to early. Why on earth do we have to train at this hour? No one should even be awake at this time; they should all be in bed sleeping.
Mandarb laughed, "You'll get used to it and you'll do it anyway until then because it's good for you and may just save your life, now stop complaining and put some clothes on and lets go."
Harry had been sleeping in the Room of Requirements to get away from the Gryffindors. He had enjoyed the peace, but Mandarb had told him last night that he would have to move back to the Gryffindor tower. When he had complained saying that all the Gryffindors hated him she had given him a sharp look and said, " If I did what people who hated me wanted me to do I'd be dead by now and come to think of it if you did what people who hated you wanted you to do you would be dead by now too. Also not all of the Gryffindors hate you. Remus, Lily, and Mary are quite fond of you.
Harry was starting to quit like Mandarb. When Daisy had come to help Harry she had sent her away and helped him herself. Harry's essay was now twice as long as required and was finished 3 days early, Hermione would have been proud. Mandarb had also given him what she called "training clothes." They consisted of sweatpants and t-shirts and a headband to keep the hair out of his eyes. He dressed quickly and, when he left the room, found her standing wearing a disapproving frown.
"I will give you a break because it's your first day, but you need to dress quicker, we don't have time to waste. Now I need to see what kind of condition you're in. When we get outside I want you to run a lap around the castle."
An hour later Harry was panting. After that first rum around the castle Mandarb had done everything with him. They had run around the castle so many times that Harry was dizzy just thinking about it. Then he collapsed on the ground while she went and made a path for him to run around the grounds. H had run that with her until he knew every little speck of dirt on the track.
"You're trying to kill me!" Harry exclaimed as he collapsed onto the steps. Mandarb had given him plenty of brakes, but he was still dead-beat.
Mandarb laughed "Not yet! That's Voldemort's job and I don't want to deprive him of it. We aren't done yet Harry. We still have 15 minutes until breakfast, which means you still have to go shower and change, but I'm going to make it snappy because I am not going to be late for breakfast. Come on," and with that she hauled him to his feet and they raced up the stairs.
15 minutes later Harry and Mandarb entered the Great Hall to find it all ready full of people. "Mandarb please reconsider and let me eat in the kitchen, please!" Harry begged, but he knew it was hopeless.
"No you are going to eat with the Gryffindors now sit." Mandarb ordered and steered him towards the table. She steered him directly towards the empty seat next to James.
James was in the middle of a Quidditch discussion with Sirius when he felt someone tap his shoulder. He turned around to see Harry standing their looking at him, "Yes?" James asked.
"I-I Well, I was wondering is anyone sitting here?" He pointed to the seat next to James.
"No"
"Do you mind if I sit there?"
James paused, well he had been planning on apologizing anyway, "No, you can sit there and Harry, I'm sorry, I've been a prick," he held out his hand, "can we start over?"
A smile lit up Harry's face as he took James' hand "Sure!"
Harry sat down grinning when a voice from behind them said, "What no thank you?"
James whipped around to see a girl all dressed in black standing behind him. Harry looked around too and opened his mouth, but she cut him off.
"No 'thank you Mandarb for forcing me to sit at the Gryffindor table instead of eating in the kitchen and so now I've made up with James all thanks to you. And thanks for deciding what I'm going to eat to help my body get more in shape so I don't kill myself when we do twice the work we did today'."
Harry groaned, "You know I was going to thank you, but now I think I'm going to have to hex you."
The girl smiled, "Yes, you wish, eat anything with sugar and/or salt in it and I will know. Don't touch the coffee. Now if you excuse me I need to go talk to the house elves about the food they're putting out for you. It will have to change," and flashing him an evil grin she strode across the hall and through the side door.
Authors Note: Ok if any of you lovely reviewers out there know what Mandarb means tell me and if you get it correct I'll go and read all your stories. The answer will be posted in the next chapter. Guesses are appreciated flames are not. And Sherry you know what it means and I'm not going to go read your stories so don't bother.
