I am sorry for the late update but well I am most certain that you won't mind that I made up for it.
Last Time on Harry Potter and the Year of Surprises:
"Do you mind?" Harry asked.
"What?" Sirius asked.
"What do you mean 'what' we are working on something we will fill you in later. It is rather complicated and we are trying to figure out if it will work. We are also having trouble figuring it out ourselves. If you want to help can we borrow two owls?" Harry asked. "Forura Comera." Harry waved his hand and out came a blue beam that shot out and made his chair fall over.
"What was that?" Remus asked.
"I don't know but Harry that wasn't the incantation it was Foura Cotmera." Hermione said looking at the book.
"Opps. Where did it go, what did it do?" Harry asked.
"I don't know we didn't watch were it went just you." Ron said. "Try again."
"I don't think Harry should..." Hermione said.
"Forura Comera." Harry said standing. The blue stream of light hit a plant that was in the corner of the room. The plant slowly wilted and eventually died.
"Do you all think?" Ron started.
"That it is another form of the killing curse? Then yes." Tori said.
"Second it." Kate said her voice a little higher than a whisper.
"Hey don't get carried away now. It can't-" James started.
"What if I tried it on a spider or something?" Harry asked.
"Harry I don't think you should...what if you hit someone with it." Hermione said.
"I know but if this is what I think it is, then I have something Voldemort doesn't and I can win. Plus this can help our side. Forura Comera." Harry said putting his hand in the direction of a bee. The ray of blue light hit the bee and at first it kept going then glowed a bright blue then dropped to the floor. Hermione, and everyone else gasped.
"Dumbledore." Everyone said at once.
Chapter Seventeen: Relaxation, Articals, and the Wizarding World in shock...(Imagine that)
"What?" Dumbledore asked from behind the group, startling most.
"I am sure you know, but...(tells story)..." Harry explained.
"Yes, I do know about that. It is a rare form and most can't complete the spell to its full potental." Dumbledore explained.
"Oh great does anyone have to know about this?" Harry asked.
"No, but if you do use it for any reason, you must tell me." Dumbledore said.
"Alright, well me and Hermione need to get back to work, I am guessing you got my owl?" Harry asked returning to the book.
"Yes that is why I am here. I have a few ideas but it seems though you have everything handled." Dumbledore said.
"Thank you proffessor, anyway if anyone wants to help you can get me a book. I need the book of complicated spells from Harry's bedroom." Hermione said as she tied a letter to Hedwig's leg and turned a page in a book.
"I'll get it." Tori said and disappeared. Harry levitated a few books over and quickly skimmed them.
"What are you two doing?" James asked.
"First of all we are trying to find a spell that can get everyone there without apparting or anything without floo, or anything that can't be detected. Then Hermione is trying to find a spell that can freeze time so we can get all of us in without being seen or heard. To where we can all get in there tell the story and get him to calm down." Harry explained.
"Wait a second all of us? How many people are we talking about?" Sirius asked.
"First we need witnesses," Harry said pointing to the other teens. "we also need to have my parents because of Pettigrew. Next we of course Remus a friend and Professor Dumbledore because it is well him. So we have practically everyone here to go to the ministry. That is over ten people we all won't be able to go in there without bumping into people so we need a way to temporairly freeze time or something to get to the office. Unfreeze time and have a meeting freeze time and talk." Harry explained.
"Wow, that took you only a couple minutes to figure out?" Remus asked.
"Uh yeah if you want to help crack open a book." Harry said returning to his book. The trio helped out while everyone else had other things to do. Ron and Luna had to do homework so they had to go back to the Order along with Jake and Ginny.
"I can...wait a second Chris go and get the samples from W.W.W." Tori said quickly.
"Okay." Chris said a bit perplexed.
"What is W.W.W?" Hermione asked.
"Weasley Wizarding Weezes." Harry said.
"How do you know." Hermione asked.
"Adding two and two. I explain later Tori obviously has an idea." Harry said.
"Yes I do. Fred and George have come up with a new prank item more desguise than anything. Eat this one." Tori said handing Harry a red gumball. Harry took it and stuck it in his mouth and chewed. Suddenly he felt his scalp tingel and Hermione laughed. Harry looked in the mirror and laughed. His hair was a bright flaming firey red. Just like Lily's he did look more her child now than James's.
"So red do you think these will work for dequieses." Tori asked.
"Yeah me and my dad can pass as twins, you three can go as you please no one at the ministry will figure you out. But it may help if you changed your hair colour because deatheaters work there. Ron you will have to change your hair and eye colour, Hermione I want you to change your hair colour only, I love your eyes too much to not see them." Harry said smiling and returned to his book.
"Harry I think I've found something." Chris said, he had been looking in a history book of anicent magic.
"What?" Harry said putting his book down and going over to look at it.
Chapter 27: Wandless Acient Magic
Wandless magic has been around for centuries only obtainable to those of great power. Those able to accoplish it, it will take many months to learn. No record has held no the less over half a year. Except Merlin himself he was able to accomplish Wandless magic in four months. See pages 142-169 for more on Merlin. The way to learn the art of wandless magic takes patients, clear minds, and concentration. Most people with too many thoughts and emotions can't obtain this power. Pure concentration is the key to learning about wandless. Some incantations you may mispronounce may cause differnet reactions. One example is the Avada Kederva curse. A wizard long long ago by the name of Salem McLarn, accidently said the incatation wrong and this curse was issued. He meant the avra kedra charm which helps tidey a area, an early scourify charm....
"Well?" Chris said.
"I have to sit down for a second." Harry said holding his head. He sat down on his arm chair with a shocked face. Tori went and read the paragraph and did the same as Harry but a little less of shock.
"Oh my merlin." Tori whispered.
"Oh my merlin what?" Hermione asked rereading the paragraph finding nothing that big of a deal.
"That's exactly it, Merlin." Harry said.
"What about him?" Kate asked.
"Harry completed wandless in less than a month and is very strong at it. He doesn't get as drained when he does it like Merlin used to. Merlin was and still concidered the most powerful wizard in history. Not even Dumbledore can match up to some of his ablitiys not to mention out do him." Tori said.
"Harry, is that true you only learned it in a month?" Kate asked.
"Yeah, I thought it was easy. I don't know how I did it, but I did. Oh shoot." Harry said.
"What?" Everyone asked.
"Another thing to add to the list for being famous for." Harry said.
"No one has to know." Kate said. "Except us and the others."
"Just great. I mean someone is going to get a wiff of it sometime." Harry said. "It won't take long. I hate being famous. Everyone always looking my scar, hating me because the paper's lies, and not listening to me. They are always saying he is so powerful, he's done this, then why won't they listen to me and tell me the adults are going to handle it." Harry said.
"Harry?" Hermione whispered.
"Hmm?" Harry said gently knowing she was probably on the verge of tears.
"I know you don't like being famous. I know you hate it and wish it never happened but Harry after you beat Voldemort you will be even more famous. Though you do have us Harry, we will always be your friends no matter what." Hermione said.
"I know you know that I know, but I just wish I didn't have to be famous for one day. I know that you'll always be my friends no matter what. Even after I kill him." Harry said.
"Harry, look we know you don't want to be famous I just want you to know even when we were in America, we never judged you. Why would you lie when you always put your own life on the line for people you don't even know, then ask for more attention after every media crowed you." Kate said.
"Yeah, we never judged you." Tori said, Chris nodded his head.
"Thanks, that is good to know. We have to get back to work, we seriously need to figure some of this stuff out." Harry said, Harry levitated some books over but they fell right in front of him with a loud thump.
Lily, James, Remus, Sirius, and Dumbledore....downstairs just after talking to Harry and gang....
"Lils calm down." Sirius said rubbing her shoulder.
"He hates being famous you can tell, he may not say it straigt out but as we all know we stand here he does. No one is to know that he can do that or about what he has created. It doesn't leave this house." Lily said.
"We know he hates it and I agree no one else is to know." James said pulling her into a hug, kissing the top of her head.
"Agreed, well I do have business to attend to, I just came for a check up." Dumbledore said and dissaparrated.
"Lily I won't say a word." Remus said.
"Me too." Sirius said hugging Lily. The adults sat around shooting the breeze until they heard a loud THUMP, from upstairs everyone ran up the stairs to the third floor.
"Everyone alright?" James said getting there first.
"Yeah it was just books dad." Harry said.
"Oh okay try not to scare me like that." James said.
"What happened to your hair?" Sirius asked laughing.
"Oh Fred and George's sample. Thank merlin we found it it is a way to get everyone in without disillousionment charms." Harry said.
"Good, do you not want to be my twin anymore?" James asked.
"No, she gave it to me." Harry said pointing to Tori.
"Chris got it for me." Tori said pointing to Chris who made a I-didn't-do-face.
"I randomly grabbed one." Chris said. Everyone laughed at his face. After everyone calmed down Harry returned to his book to look up a time stopping spell. He finished book 1, then 2, 3,4,5, and on number six it was around two o'clock in the afternoon.
"I found something..." Harry said. He continued to read.
Time
Time is a ver dangerous thing to meddle with, not many are willing to change time. One reason being it is illegal, others fear. Many people could have changed time and we not reaslise it. If anyone would change time it could be terrible or for the better.
A new way was discovered to stop time in 1842, by a wizard named Sir Michael Ford. This spell is used to stop time temporairly. Not many have been able to accomplish this spell, only a few hold the amount of power to complete it. Many have tried and many have failed. Those who have succeded were able to stop time for an hour. Sir Michael Ford was the only wizard to hold time frozen for an hour. The incantation today isn't exact as it was when Ford used it, but it will hold up to a certain amount of time depending on the wizard who cast it...
"It says that the incantation is Tonina Vertia." Harry said handing the book to Hermione, who then handed it to the rest of the group.
"Well, lets see, it says here who ever you are going to freeze time with you must touch so they aren't effected by the spell." Tori said. Harry grabbed Hermione's hand. Hermione held Tori's who held Kate's hand and she held Chris's hand. Harry held up his hand and paused he closed his eyes.
"Tonina Vertia." Harry said, he voice echoed throughout the house. Everyone felt a spinning sensation in their stomachs and then it all stopped suddenly. Harry started to walk over to the door pulling everyone with him. Hermione noticed he was stronger now, something happened the way his voice had powerfully echoed around the room. She noted how he could pull everyone and not be jerked back. The other trio had looks of worry on their faces as well.
"Harry are you okay?" Kate asked.
"Yeah why?" Harry answered in a low voice.
"You just seem different." Kate said.
"It might be the side effects of this spell, I don't know how long it will last so lets go see if it actually worked first." Harry said. They made their way downstairs into the living room. Sirius was watching t.v. but he wasn't moving, his arm was streched out in front of him with the remote with a confused look on his face. The teens moved into the kitchen where James was preparing a sandwich, Harry went over and took a bite of the sandwich.
"Harry that isn't nice." Hermione said laughing with everyone else.
"You guys, I can't hold it anylonger." Harry said. "I have to break the connection." Harry closed his eyes and collapsed. James started to move.
"What happened to my sandwich, whoa, what, how, when?" James asked which made everyone laugh. Until they realise one laugh wasn't there. Harry still laid on the floor still, eyes closed.
"Harry?" Hermione shook Harry's shoulder.
"James can you....what happened?" Sirius asked coming into the kitchen.
"I am still trying to figure that out." James said.
"Oh, well maybe we should get him on the couch." Sirius said. James picked up Harry who was extremly light, and placed him on the couch. "Now what happened?" Hermione explained the whole thing about the time freezing spell and how Harry was emenzley strong.
"Good thing Lily went to the store, she would flip now we have to get him up before-" James started.
"Mum get home?" Harry said.
"Harry are you okay?" Hermione asked gently.
"Yes." Harry lied.
"Don't lie to me." Hermione said.
"Let me go and get ready for the ministry."
"I don't think you should go today."
"I'm going just come get me when mum comes home." Harry said disappearing up the stairs. Hermione went to follow him but someone held her back.
"Hermione can I talk to you in the library?" James asked he was the one holding her back. She gave a look of wanting to go to Harry but nodded and followed James to the library. There was a bit of silence until James figured out what he was going to say.
"I know you love my son but if he is anything like me or Lily. Just let him go, I know you have known him longer just give him a bit of time to himself." James said gingerly.
"I do love him, he just scares me sometimes. He doesn't say when something is bothering him, he just lets it eat him up inside until he becomes a bomb. I am trying to help him that's all. I love your son James, I feel like..." Hermione couldn't finish.
"Feel like you can't let that happen to him and you need to go to him?" James finshed.
"Yeah, is it like that with you and Lily?" Hermione asked.
"Yes, no matter what I would always want to be with her." James said. "He loves you too, I am guessing he just doesn't want you to see him in the state he is in. He may figure you have see him in too much pain and frustration and everything else, he doesn't want you to see him like this."
"Probably." Hermione said drying her eyes.
"Look if you ever need to talk to me you can. Don't worry whatever it is, and it will stay between us." James said giving her a hug.
"Thanks James. Harry is going to really like hanging around with you. He needs a father. Also if you need to talk to me too for what ever reason you can." Hermione said smiling a bit.
"I'll keep that in mind." James said sweetly.
"I'M HOME!" Lily yelled throughout the house.
"We better go help with the grocreys." James said getting up.
"Yeah." Hermione said getting up too.
"Hey guys what...do you want for dinner. Hermione are you okay?" Lily asked.
"Yeah I'm fine." Hermione said. "You want help?"
"Yeah, you boys go and get ready and us girls will get an early dinner ready. We can get a to-go dinner ready while you boys change. Then while you eat we can go and change then we will eat." Lily said as she magiced all the grocerys away and started to make sandwiches.
"Alright." James said and the guys started up the stairs. He stopped on the second floor.
"Look don't wake up Harry we'll send Hermione up so she can talk to him." James said. The other two nodded while they split up to get dressed.
10 minutes later...
"Can someone go and get Harry?" Lily asked.
"I will." Hermione said. She ran up the stairs outside of Harry's room.
"Whoa." Harry said through the door. Hermione gently knocked.
"Come in." Harry said.
"Hey how are you feeling?" Hermione asked quietly.
"Much better." Harry said his eyes were glowing.
"Did you just get back? You are refreshed and you look a lot happier than you usually are." Hermione said happily.
"Yeah, I did. I sorted my mind out. I am so happy to see you." Harry said going up to her and kissing her. "I have probably been gone for about a day."
"I am glad you are feeling better." Hermione said putting her arms around his neck and giving him a hug.
"Good are we leaving?" Harry asked.
"Yeah so get dressed in some, wait you are. Did you have clothes there? I love your robes. I have ones just like them just blue."
"Thank you and I know because you are wearing them." Harry said.
"Just try to only use magic if you need to. Like for time freezing." Hermione said as Harry put an arm around her waist and they started to make their way for downstairs.
"I promise." Harry said. They walked into the kitchen. Harry swore James smiled, but wasn't sure.
"You look much better." Sirius said.
"Yeah I went to the hide-a-way thing and got some rest and filled up my pensive more. Is it possible for a pensive to be filled?" Harry asked holding up his pensive. It was almost over flowing.
"I am not sure but I am sure we are going to be late for the meeting Dumbledore had scheduled." James said. "What's the plan?"
"Alright we all apparate to the ministry, Jake and Ginny aren't coming." Just then Ron appartated into the living room with a sandwich at hand. "Then I'll stop time we go to the office cast the disillousionmetn charm on everyone except myself, Hermione, and Ron. Next we uncast it when we get into the office. From there we have to figure it out on our own." Harry finished to the astonished adults. "Well get going." Harry said. Everyone put the disillousionment charms on themselves then apparated. Only Harry and Hermione were left they gave each other a quick kiss and apparated.
"Where is everyone?" Harry asked. He felt someone grab his hand.
"I'm Tori. Everyone else has someone holding on so we are clear except for Hermione. Hermione go on the other side of Harry so Chris can get your hand." Tori said.
"Alright. Harry you're on." Hermione said.
"Tonina Vertia!" Harry said agian his voice echoed. Everyone disillousioned themselves after their stomach stopped tingling. "Good everyone is here now ready?" Harry asked. Everyone nodded. "We are going to apparate to the inside now." Harry explianed. Everyone got into the ministry.
"Now what?" Tori asked.
"We have a meeting to go to." Dumbledore said coming across the lobby. Harry was hit with emotion.
"How did you...I don't want to kow lets go." Harry said.
"Harry are you alright?" Dumbledore asked.
"Yeah I am fine actually and that isn't a lie. That trip must've cured me a bit I don't feel so bad about here anymore." Harry answered truthfully.
"Good. You are in charge give the orders." Dumbledore said with a smile.
"Okay. Now when we get there once we are in the office we need everyone to put the charms back on." Harry said everyone ran to the office know Harry had to hold this and his magic was draining every second. Once there everyone put the charms on while James, Ron, Hermione, and Dumbledore stayed visible.
"Go ahead Harry lift it." Dumbledore said. Harry closed his eyes and everyone came back to life. Ministry workers running errands, secretary's sending owls, paper air planes flying about. James went up to Fudge's sectretary.
"Hello we are here to see the minister, appointment under Harry Potter." James said.
"Yes he is ready to see you." The blonde haird witch said. James held open the door for a few seconds for those invisible to go in then those visible.
"Ah, Mr Potter how are you this fine day?" Fudge asked.
"I'm fine how are you Fudge?" James said.
"Good. What did you need Harry?" Fudge asked.
"First of all can you call up two aurors, some vertierisum, and are you in for a surprise today?" James asked.
"Sure for every thing." Fudge said. He went over to the fire and called up two auror and went over to his cabient and pulled out a bottle of clear liquid. Two people came out of the fire one being Mad-Eye and the other being Tonks.
"Yes minister?" Moody asked.
"Well Mr. Potter called you here. For what I am not sure." Fudge said.
"Do you mind if we put silencing charms on the room?" James asked.
"Not at all."
"Good now onto business." James said.
"What do you need Harry?"
"First of all I am not Harry." James said.
"I am." Harry said taking the charm off himself.
"WHAT IN THE NAME OF MERLIN!?" Fudge yelled.
"Calm down, their aren't two Harrys but three Potters." James said.
"You mean you're James Potter?" Fudge said.
"Yes, and I am Lily Potter." Lily said removing the charm.
"But your dead!" Fudge yelled.
"No we aren't." Sirius said coming out.
"Arrest him!" Fudge yelled at Tonks and Moody.
"Wait hear him out he is innocent, you didn't give him a chance last time." Harry yelled.
"That is impossible, where is Peter then?" Fudge asked.
"How do you think Voldemort got back to life." Harry spat. "If you would have listened to me and Professor Dumbledore then maybe we would have to have a war, but then my parents would still be dead. Now give everyone in here truth serum if needed but you only need it for a certain few. Everyone come on out." Harry said. After his word everyone else lifted the charm.
"Alright." Fudge said.
"Oh and if you ask any questions not related to the subject you will be in trouble." Harry said you could see the anger buring in his eyes. Hermione came over and held his hand.
"Calm down." She whispered.
"Yes one at a time then." Fudge said pouring the liqiud into Sirius's throat.
"What is your name?" Fudge asked Sirius, whose eyes had glazed over.
"Sirius Black." Sirius said.
"In what relation are you to Harry Potter?"
"I am his godfather."
"On October 31st, 1981 did you tell You-Know-Who where the Potter's house is located?"
"No! I would never, I would die for them. It was Peter Petigrew. He was their secretkeeper. We switched at the last moment and no one besides us four knew about it." Sirius said. Fudge was baffled. He poured some into Jame's mouth.
"What is your name?"
"James Potter."
"In what relation are you to Harry Potter?"
"I am his father."
"Who was your secretkeeper?"
"At first it was Sirius but we changed it to Peter because we figured Voldemort wouldn't go for him." James said gloss-eyed. Fudge went over to everyone else asking them questions. Fudge eventually had to sit down.
"I must have to delcare you free then and you alive." Fudge said.
"Thank you." Harry said. "Now I need to go and get someone be right back. Don't leave or follow I will be back in a few minutes." Harry walked out of the room and returned a couple of minutes later with no other than Rita Seeker. (I know I didn't spell that right Sorry)
"Now our agreement still stands?" Harry asked Rita.
"Yes, now may we get on with this. I have an engagement." Rita said taking out parchment and quill. "Now what is the sub-" Rita had just noticed the people in the room Lily and James Potter being the main attraction.
"Yes my parents are back to life and my godfather, Sirius, is back to life and free. We need to take this interview thing and whatever. All we need is for everyone to know they are back to life." Harry said annoyingly.
"James and Lily Potter back to life?" Rita shrieked.
"Yes now onto the article." James said.
"Okay then, now..."
Next morning....
"I wonder when that darn paper is going to to get here." Harry said for the millionth time this past hour. He had been up for three hours and it was just turning eight o'clock. Harry was up only him and Godric were awake. He was sitting in front of the fire looking at it as if it were going to make a paper appear. Harry heard a tapping at the window. It was Hedwig with a letter from Ron.
Dear Harry,
The paper isn't here yet, I know you are pacing back and forth. Calm down mate. It will most likily come when you are done reading this.
Best Mate,
Ron
A tawny owl flew in through the window Harry just opened.
"Finally." Harry said putting money into the pouch. He opened the paper and right there on the front page was a picture of him and his parents.
POTTERS COME BACK TO LIFE AND BLACK FREE
As we all know the fateful tale of Harry Potter, I have come to find that James and Lily Potter walk the earth. No one knows how or why, but they are now back. Your eyes do not decive you when you read that Lily and James Potter are alive. They aske no one bother them, they need 15 years to catch up on with their son Harry Potter. As we all know he has accoplished a lot. Also Sirius Black is free, he has been claimed inoccent. Truth Serum proved he did not commit any murders. Here is a interview we had with the group at the ministry.
Press: How is it at the Potter home?
Harry Potter: Good we are having a lot of fun.
James Potter: Yeah we are having fun, but not too much.
Lily Potter: Yes, we are hoping as soon as this is realsed we can go out in public and have fun and spend time outside of home.
Press: How do you think people are going to react by you being alive and you being free?
HP: I think at first there will be much distrust between all of us, but hopefully in the end everyone will agree in the end that Sirius is innocent and my parents alive.
JP: I still can't belive that my best friend was accused of selling us out to Voldemort. I think after everyone gets use to us everything will be okay.
LP: I am hoping for the best.
Hermione Granger: I feel that everyone's reactions are based on the people themselves. At first I myself couldn't belive it. See Harry's reactions were so warming that he finally got a family. Not that he really didn't have one before though.
SB: I feel not everyone will trust me at first or Lily and James but hopefully they will in the end.
Remus Lupin: I feel the same way as everyone else.
Press: Now that you are back and able to do anything what are your plans?
JP: I am hoping to get reaquated with my son and we all (jestering around the room to Sirius Black, Harry Potter, Lily Potter,and Remus Lupin.) can spend a lot of time together like we should have for the past 15 years.
LP: I just want to catch up with my son and old friends.
SB: I first want to go to stores and go out in public without having to lurk and hide. I never did any of those things that I was blamed for except breaking out of Azkaban.
Press to Harry and friends: Harry who are all these people and how did you meet them?
HP: I met them at my birthday party and this is Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, Kate Davidson, Tori Michaelson, and Chris Allens. They are from America and are going to Hogwarts this year.
TM: Yes I am looking forward to going this year.
CA: Me too.
KD: Me three.
