Chapter 20: Blast to the Past

"Harry!" Lily yelled as he flew out of the fireplace.

"I'm fine. Dumble-Albus is on his way." Harry said. Dumbledore stepped out of the fireplace with ease.

"Albus? Since when do you call him Albus?" James asked helping up his son.

"Since I just asked him to do so." Dumbledore said brushing soot of his shoulder. "Anyway as I understand it these students are going to go and be trained by Merlin and the founders. So down to business as soon as I get back." Dumbledore said and flooed back to Hogwarts. Harry began to pace thinking wildly that Hermione's mind couldn't keep up with his thoughts.

"Harry you are driving me crazy." Hermione said. Everyone looked at her including Harry.

"Sorry but my mind is racing now." Harry said and began to pace the room again. James tried to hold back his laughter with Sirius he excused himself into the kitchen with Sirius claiming to make sandwiches. Harry still wasn't calming down if anything becoming more hyperactive in a sense. How could everyone be so calm? No one seemed as riled at he was. Suddenly he stopped which caught everyone's attention.

"Why did you stop?" Remus asked.

"Hasn't it hit everyone the reality of this situation? I mean we are going to be trained by the most brilliant minds ever and no one is nervous or worried. Then again..." Harry said and began pacing again leaving everyone confused. A small pop sounded showing that Dumbledore came back and Landon clapped his hands at the sight of an elderly man appearing in front of him.

"Now I have gifts for every student and then you will all need to pack. Tomorrow at noon, you will be picked up by this letter to be transported to the past and trained for the upcoming battle. I trust all of you will find this useful." Dumbledore said passing out all the neatly rapped packages. Everyone opened them except Harry who chose to open his last. Hermione was the first to gasp. She found a phoenix pendent that would be hung around her neck, a note, and last was a book on wandless magic. Ron opened his next it was a phoenix pendent necklace, a note, and a book on wandless magic. The other trio received the same thing. Harry opened his and only found a note and necklace.

"Now open the others." Dumbledore said pointing to a pile of boxes with everyone's names. As everyone opened them, they found a deep velvet blue cloak with a phoenix on the chest. In addition, rapped up in the cloaks they each found something all the same but completely different. Each found what appeared to be an extendable ear but different then those. These were invisible once put in your ear and went back to the regular colour when taken out by the person whose ear it is in. It was what Hermione and Harry along with the other trio thought as a walkie-talkie. They were quite correct. These, what Dumbledore called them Bugs, could be used as a bug to plant somewhere to hear what was going on there or as a communicator with whom ever else had one. You could have up to ten people at a time talk.

"Wow, thanks Albus." Harry said throwing on his cloak. It was completely perfect temperature.

"Your welcome, those cloaks can tell us if you are in danger. It even blocks some minor spells and hexes. Everyone in the Order has one. You are considered as part of the Order. You parents have agreed to let you into the meetings too." Dumbledore said. All the teens smiled. They would be allowed information.

"Me and Hermione can pack and then we can apparate to America or London which ever comes first then come back here with everyone's stuff to get ready for tomorrow. Then we can pack tonight. We all can spend time with our families since we aren't going to see them for three months." Harry added with a smile.

"Good just don't get lost in America I know you will want to explore and you don't have time maybe later. Since you are going to train with the Legends, you won't have to train with us. So once you get back you may spend the rest of your vacation as you like." Dumbledore said.

"Okay. I'll try. We will be back later. Where are we going first?" Harry asked.

"Well we are fourteen hours behind and it is around 10 o'clock there so we may want to get going. My parents will still be up and so will theirs." Tori said throwing her cloak on and everything else she got she put on. With a wave of her hand she shrunk her book and but it in her pocket. "Ready? I have a picture and you just need that as a visual." She added zapping a picture into her hand. It was a picture of her house. Harry, Hermione, and Ron apparated and then the other trio did to meet up with them in front of Tori's house.

"I like your house. It is really nice." Harry said.

"Thanks, now why don't we get inside?" Tori said putting her hand on the door, everyone heard a click, and she opened it. "Mom, Dad were home!" Tori yelled standing in the foyer.

"Hey sweetie." Tori's mother said coming down the stairs and into the open room where six teens stood in dark blue cloaks.

"Hey, this is Ron, Hermione, and Harry." Tori said pointing to the teens with each name announcement.

"Hi, I'm Dawn Michaelson." Dawn said holding out her hand.

"Hi." Harry said shaking it.

"Hello it's nice to meet you." Hermione said shaking her hand too.

"Same here." Ron said shaking her hand.

"Yeah we are just packing upstairs. What are you all doing here?" Dawn asked wondering why such a big arrival.

"Mom we have to talk." Tori said. Tori, Chris, Kate, Harry, Ron, and Hermione all explained what just happened before they came here.

"Wow." Dawn said. "Merlin himself teaching my daughter." Just then, Jess and Landon came out of the fireplace. Landon was rapped in a blanket and held tight as Jess stumbled out of the fireplace landing on the couch.

"Sorry Jess. I forgot you went to change Landon." Kate said.

"Yeah, I figured if you weren't home, London, Harry's, or Chris's you were here." Jess said standing up. "Hello Mrs. Michaelson." Jess said passing her and stood next to the teens.

"Hello Jess." Dawn said. "Well you better get packing." Dawn said to Tori.

"Thanks mom. Oh and by the way, we will be gone for three months but for you it will be three days. Then we don't have to train and have the rest of the summer off. Well I expect that we will be practicing and all but otherwise."

"Would anyone like to have something to eat? It is around noon there so around lunch for you." Dawn said.

"Sure." Ron said. Some of the others laughed at him. "What I want to try American food." Ron said in his defense.

"Alright you can help me then while the other's pack." Dawn said showing Ron into the kitchen. The rest of the teens made their way upstairs with Tori leading them.

"This is my room." Tori said opening a door that led into a deep blue room with a stripe of black going around it. A bed was up against the wall and a trunk sat in the middle of the room with seven locks. She walked over to it and opened it. Inside was just space.

"Well since my stuff is packed I will just have to improvise." Tori said zapping some clothes into the trunk. They were neatly folded and clean looking brand new.

"When did you get a seven compartment trunk?" Chris asked.

"I just made it. You can have one." Tori said holding up her finger blowing it as if it were one of those movies where the actor would blow the time of the gun after shooting. Everyone laughed. Harry and Hermione looked around the room a bit. Boxes lined the wall with 'Tori's Room' on them. Harry saw a poster sticking out of the bin. It was a band poster of Harry couldn't see. Therefore, he unraveled the poster to find the poster was of a band called Good Charlotte.

"Do you like it?" Tori said standing right next to Harry.

"Oh, sorry." Harry said rolling up the poster.

"Don't be. I think all curiosity should be solved." Tori said with a zap that rolled the poster neatly and it appeared back into the box.

"You know the one thing I am going to miss once we go to training and to Hogwarts?" Tori asked.

"What?" Hermione asked.

"My family. We use to go to a day school now a boarding school." Tori said with a sigh.

"Well you will see them occasionally when they come to Du-Albus's office. Also you can visit them during the weekends if you get permission." Harry said trying to comfort her.

"Good point I may enjoy not having parents around though. It may be more fun." Tori said.

"So are you done packing?" Kate asked.

"Nope. We are going away for three months. Lets see clothes, bathroom stuff can't go anywhere without my vanilla body wash, broom, Tigger's stuff, other miscellaneous items-" Tori said counting off the list.

"Tori if you forgot anything you can zap it." Chris said.

"I keep forgetting I can do magic." Tori said.

"Where to after lunch?" Harry asked.

"We can go to Chris's house since that is down the street a bit then we can go to Kate's house in Florida." Tori said.

"We can use floo powder from here too." Kate said.

"Alright let's go downstairs for lunch." Hermione said as she bewitched the trunk to levitate. They all went downstairs into the kitchen. She sent it over to the fireplace. The smell of soup came wafting around their noses. (Can my friends guess what it is? LOL)

"Oh great you came down I was just about to call you down." Dawn said stirring the soup.

"Thanks Mom." Tori said getting some bowls and ice out. "We are having Oodles of Noodles or as we call them oodles and noodles. They are really good. These are the chicken flavour kind. Spoon or fork?" Tori asked.

"Spoon." Harry said along with Hermione.

"Fork." Chris said.

"Fork." Ron said.

"Spoon for me too." Kate said. Tori got out all the forks and spoons. Dawn poured the soup out for everyone.

"Where did Jess and Landon go?" Hermione asked.

"They went home." Dawn said.

"Oh." Hermione said. They ate for a while talking about random things until it became eleven. The clock gave a rang eleven times.

"Thank you for the food and it was nice meeting you. We have to go though." Harry said as the last ring was made.

"Alright see you in a while." Dawn said hugging Tori giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"Love you." Tori said.

"Love you too." Dawn said. "Be careful."

"We will." Tori said opening the small pot above the fireplace. She pulled out a small bit of powder and threw it in to the flames. "3302 Almond Drive!" Tori yelled and was whisked away into the flames with her trunk. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Chris, and last was Kate to Chris's house. After tumbling out of the fireplace they all were in Delaware.

------------------------------

After telling the story to Chris's parents…

"Tori can I have one of those trunks?" Chris asked getting out some clothes and other things. Tori closed her eyes then opened them then there appeared a trunk with seven locks. Everyone just sat around waiting for Chris to finish packing doing bits of magic. Once he was done they said their good-byes and all stood by the fireplace. Kate was handed the container of powder first. She took a pinch and threw it into the fireplace and yelled her address.

"LAKEWORTH!" Kate yelled and spun around and disappeared into the green flames. Harry and the rest followed. Harry stepped in and shouted the address to Lake Worth Florida. After feeling a warming sensation of the fire he became even hotter when he found out that Florida was very hot. Luckily his cloak adjusted to the temperature. He looked around the house it was open and bare. Nothing was askew. Neatly stacked brown boxes lined the white walls. Harry then looked over at the rest of the teens who were explaining the whole story. He smiled and then helped explained the story to her parents. Then helped Kate pack in her room. By the time they had finished it was close to midnight.

"I will see you in a couple days. We will be gone for three months and to you it will be three days. I will see you soon for you that is." Kate said hugging her mother and father good-bye. All the teens then walked outside to decide what to do.

"So what are we doing?" Harry asked. "I want to see some more of America."

"That sounds like a good idea." Kate said.

"DUDE!" Tori said. Everyone gave her a look of confusion.

"What?" Everyone asked at once.

"The west coast, it is four hours behind us. So if we go and visit my uncle who by the way doesn't know about me being magic. But it will be eight o'clock and we can hang out there or in Vegas, Hawaii, or Cali." Tori said. "No three hours something like that. Anyway we can do that or go home. We can save that trip until we get back. I still can't believe we are going to be important in the final battle and it is at the end of this year too. As that may be what are we doing?" Tori said shrinking her trunk.

"I am tired how about you all?" Kate said. "We can wait until we come back. One other thing to look forward to." He added.

"Yeah I think that's a good idea. I am sure we can convince our parents to take a trip or for us to take a trip to somewhere." Tori said.

"I agree I-I-I'm a bit tired, I am on the old time zone still." Chris said.

"Or is it you are use to waking up only a few hours ago our new time?" Tori said.

"Both. Anyway what do you guys think?" Chris asked.

"I guess. Harry Hermione what do you want?" Ron asked.

"Sure sounds good. Back home the time is," Harry said looking at his new watch Hermione got him for his birthday. "It is 2 o'clock there lets get going."

"Alright everyone ready?" Hermione asked.

"Yeah I just need to never mind." Kate said as Tori shrunk her and Chris's trunk.

"Ready." Tori declared.

"Ready." Chris said.

"Ready." Harry said.

"Ready." Ron said. Everyone apparated out of America to Godric Hallow. Harry ended up in the middle of the room while everyone else ended up on the couch sitting down in between everyone. He just realizing they interrupted a meeting. Albus Dumbledore was standing right behind him and on the couch was some Order members and his parents, Sirius, and Lupin.

"Ah, just in time for our meeting." Dumbledore said.

---------------------

Later that evening after everyone went home...

"Harry are you all packed?" Hermione said from Harry's doorway.

"Sort of. I wanted to get my homework done before we left and I am almost finished. Funny it was going to take weeks to finish a simple paper. Maybe it had to do with emotions. How are you?" Harry asked getting up from his desk kissing her cheek.

"I'm good. I am just a bit worried. Nervous actually. I am just glad I am going with you." Hermione said hugging him staying in that hug with him. She felt always safe in his arms. They always comforted her.

"Good. Maybe tomorrow before we leave we can take a quick fly?" Harry asked knowing the answer might and probably will be a negative one.

"Sure, I like flying with you. I know you will keep me safe when flying. If you want we can go when you are finished packing. A nice night flight. The sunset is coming." Hermione said giving him a smile.

"Alright good thing I just finished. Are you done your homework?" Harry asked.

"No I still have an essay left. The magical creatures one." Hermione said.

"Oh my I have my homework finished before you!" Harry said breaking the hug to grab his firebolt and cloak. He also grabbed Hermione's by walking next door to his room to hers.

"Wow. In that case you will have to help me." Hermione said.

"Okay." Harry said giving her a quick peck while draping the cloak over her shoulders. He put his on as he went downstairs with Hermione in his wake. In the kitchen was his mother, father, godfather, and Remus.

"Hey were are you two going?" James asked as they were walking out the slider.

"Flying. Is that okay?" Harry asked.

"I thought Hermione was afraid of heights?" Remus said.

"I'm not when I am with Harry." Hermione said having an arm put around her waist by Harry.

"Alright but try to be careful and don't stay out too late. We will come and get you if you stay out too late. I'll send someone out to get you for dinner." Lily said.

"Move quick or you'll miss the sunset." Sirius said pointing out the window.

"Okay." Harry said with him and Hermione walking out the slider. He and Hermione climbed onto the broom noticing the adults watching from the deck. Harry climbed on first and patted the spot behind him. Hermione carefully climbed on. She put her arms around Harry's waist. Giving the adults a quick glace he kicked off a little faster and harder than he had expected and soared up into the air quickly.

"Harry that was fun." Hermione said.

"Sorry I didn't mean to do it that fast or hard." Harry said.

"It's okay, it was fun." Hermione said letting her grip loosen. Harry turned the broom around so Hermione would face the sunset.

"Alright." Harry said turning around on the broom and wrapped his arms around her waist. She crossed her arms hugging his. "Now for a small kiss and sunset." Harry said with a small kiss with Hermione.

"A nice kiss and beautiful sunset." Hermione said.

"With a beautiful girlfriend." Harry said.

"And don't forget the most gorgeous boyfriend." Hermione said gazing into the sunset. The sun slowly descended into the folds of reds, oranges, purples, and others that mixed and mingled with them. As the night became more noticed with darkness the teens began to descend to the ground in all reluctance. They slowly walked inside hand-in-hand across the lawn to the deck. Harry opened the door since Hermione offered to carry the broom. Lily was in the kitchen the with the rest talking while she prepared dinner.

"Smells good." Harry said rubbing his stomach.

"Sure does. What are you...Lily you don't have to make a feast. We are for you going away for three days." Hermione said. Harry then noticed all the food lined on the table.

"Oh, boy mum Hermione's right. Three days isn't that long. It will be longer for us don't worry we'll be fine. We have been through a lot together and we can obviously trust the other trio. I love you all and will miss you all but I have a feeling that we aren't going to be there long. One either we end up coming back because we did something, or which I highly doubt we graduate early. Now what's for dinner?" Harry asked.

--------------------

After dinner...

"But I want to go with Hermione." Harry said firmly.

"I am sorry but your parents said not to let you go." Sirius said.

"Would you let me go?" Harry asked.

"I don't know maybe. But I am not your legal guardian so I can't plus Hermione can tell her parents by herself." Sirius said. Harry sighed, Hermione was going home to tell her parents she would be going to the past. He wanted to go with her but his parents said no. Now he was trying to get Sirius to let him go since they went out to the store. Remus was on a date with Tonks so Harry, Hermione, and Sirius were home alone with Godric and Rosie who were playing in Harry's room.

"Please?" Harry said clasping his hands together as if he were praying.

"I'm sorry Harry. I would say yes but Lily would kill me and James would just sit there. She is a big girl. You two will have enough time to spend together for three months then when you come back the rest of the month and if you really love her the rest of your life. Now go and say good-bye to her giver her a big kiss and you can pick her up in the morning." Sirius said as Harry laughed.

"Fine, I will be around later." Harry said going up the steps. He ran up them and knocked on Hermione's door. He and she made a knock code. Knock, Knock, Knock-Knock.

"Come on in Harry." Hermione said as Harry opened the door. She was packing a small duffle and her trunk.

"Hey, I came to say good-bye. Hermione I begged to come but I couldn't get Sirius to let me." Harry said sitting on the bed. Hermione came and sat down next to him and put her head on his shoulder.

"Too bad. I am going to miss you." Hermione said. Harry looked at her and noticed she was wearing sweat pants and a light blue tan top with a green button long sleeve shirt. Her hair was in braided pigtails. Harry put an arm around her.

"Me too. But we will see each other tomorrow and I am picking you up." Harry said rubbing her shoulder.

"I'd love to be waken up by my boyfriend." Hermione said.

"I'd love to be the one to wake you up." Harry said with a charming smile.

"I love your smile." Hermione said and Harry froze.

"And... I...I...I love you." Harry said while Hermione's chocolate brown eyes started to fill.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you upset." Harry said getting down on his knees holding her hands.

"Don't be..." Hermione whispered as she leaned in and gave him a gentle kiss. "I love you too." Harry pulled her into a hug. They stayed like that for who knows how long. Only breaking apart when Sirius came into the room.

"Hermione are you alright? What did Harry do?" Sirius asked jokingly.

"I'll be right back I have to talk to my godfather." Harry said kissing her hands and pulled Sirius out into the hallway and into his room next door.

"What?" Sirius asked.

"I-I told her...told her I love her." Harry blabbed.

"Oh our little Pronglet is in L-O-V-E lllllllllllloove." Sirius teased, Harry punched him in the arm. Sirius turned into a dog and ran away into Hermione's room.
"SIRIUS!" Harry yelled running around Hermione's room trying to catch him. He stopped and closed his eyes. Harry's arms turned to wings after a minute and feathers started to grow on his body they were beautiful scarlet with tinges of gold. He took flight after Sirius. Once Harry flew he dropped and landed on Sirius and transformed back. Sirius gave a small whine as Harry pointed his finger at him to some it would look like a person scolding a dog.

"Transform back." Harry said.

"What did he do and since when could you turn into a phoenix?" Hermione asked putting her hands on her hips.

"I told him I told you I love you and he started teasing me and stuff and then ran out of the room. Then I came in and got him I want an apology. And when we were trying to figure out the whole sleepover transportation I did some animagus training." Harry explained still pointing at the bear like dog.

"I am going to put you back to human for if you don't do it yourself." Harry threatened even though he knew Sirius would eventually come out and say sorry but he and Harry loved playing this game. Sirius whined and tried to run but couldn't escape Harry's finger direction. He gave up and transform back.

"You know I am glad and happy for you." Sirius said.

"Yeah this is just fun." Harry said helping Sirius up while Hermione just sat and laughed. Sirius sat on the bed next to Hermione and rapped her into a hug.

"Congratulations, really for the both of you. You have loved each other forever and just noticing. I am happy that you both have found each other. Now I will leave you up here and help her finish packing but once she is done sadly she has to go home to tell her parents everything. Also Harry we are going to have to figure out what to do tonight. Me, you, James, and Lily of course." Sirius said walking out the room and going down the steps. The teens briefly kissed and continued to pack.

-------

Sometime Later....

"I'll miss you." Harry said kissing Hermione good-bye.

"I'll miss you too." Hermione said kissing Harry.

"Love you." Harry said.

"Love you too. Bye." Hermione said giving Harry a quick kiss then apparating away. He walked inside and sat on the couch in the family room. Sitting in this room were the adults except Remus, he was still on his date.

"So Sirius said something happened while we were out to the store." James said more so asking.

"Yes." Harry said faking a glare at Sirius. Sirius contained his laughter.

"So what happened?" Lily asked.

"I...well me and Hermione...I...I told her...-" Harry said trying to tell these people and worry about reaction.

"Told her what Harry?" James asked. Sirius was close to stuffing a fist into his mouth to keep from telling.

"I told her...I told her I-" Sirius cut off Harry.

"PRONGLET'S IN LOVE!" Sirius burst.

"My baby boy is in love with Hermione?" Lily asked smiling.

"Yes." Harry said the blush flowing into his cheeks.

"I am so happy for you." Lily said hugging Harry. Harry noticed James stayed silent.

"Dad you okay?" Harry asked.

"Oh sorry, I already knew. Hermione said she had loved you and I was so sure you loved her." James said smiling. "I am glad you finally said that to one another."

"Oh." Was all Harry could muster.

"So what are the plans for tonight?" Sirius asked.

"I don't know how about a card game?" Lily asked.

"I don't really know any Flower." James said, he had many nicknames for Lily such as: Flower, Lils, Lily Flower, and many other ones.

"I know and I am sure Sirius doesn't know any how about Poker?" Lily asked.

"Sure. I don't see why not." Harry said summoning a deck of cards. Everyone sat at the kitchen table and Lily shuffled the cards.

"Alright this is how you play Texas Hold'em. First everyone gets 2 cards. You look at them and leave them faced down so no one can see. Next we all bet by our cards. Then comes the flop, which is 3 cards. Next everyone bets and then comes Fourth Street or the turn, which is 1 card. Again we bet and then comes the river which is again is 1 card but the last. We finish betting then who ever is left and didn't fold yet flip their cards and see who wins. Here I wrote a list of what beats what but is everyone with me?" Lily said handing out a list.

"I've played before so I know how to." Harry said taking one of the lists.

"I think so." James said.

"Second that." Sirius said.

A Pair

2 Pair

3 of a kind

Straight- having the cards in order Ex) 2,3,4,5,6

Flush- all cards in the same suit (suit the same symbol like hearts, diamonds, spade, clubs.)

Full house- is a three of a kind and a pair

4 of a kind

Straight flush

Royal flush- same as a flush but with kings, queens, jacks, aces

"Now the royal flush is the best card you can get and the lowest would be no pair. Got it?" Lily asked.

"I do, I played it at Hermione's and I watched it on television with the Dursleys once over this summer." Harry said. Everyone had a scow played on their faces at the mentioning at the Dursleys.

"Can't I just please-" James began to ask.

"No." Harry said.

"Fine." James said crossing his arms acting like a three year old.

"This is funny. Harry is acting more mature than you." Sirius said looking at his cards that Lily just dealt. Harry and the rest looked at their cards.

"What are we betting?" James asked.

"Marshmallows." Harry said finding them in a cabinet.

"Sounds good give everyone 25 that will be the whole bag. Also don't eat your profit until you win that is if you win." Lily said looking at James and Sirius.

"Why is it you look at us?" Sirius asked.

"Because you would do it." Harry said.

"True." James said.

"HEY." Sirius said as Harry and Lily laughed.

"Ante that's a playing chip like a fee to play so one ante." Harry said putting in a marshmallow. Everyone else did. Harry bet 5 and everyone followed.

"Alright 5 of clubs, 10 of diamonds, and king of hearts." Lily said flipping each card.

"Possible straight." Harry said as he bet.

"Hmm I'll stay." James said.

"Me too." Sirius said.

"Me three." Lily said. "Ace of spades."

"Check." Harry said knocking the table with his fist once.

"Check?" James asked.

"It means to not bet but stay in you can check as long as no one else has bet." Harry explained.

"Oh check." James said doing the same motion as Harry did.

"Check." Sirius said.

"Five." Lily said tossing five marshmallows to the pile.

"Hmm what does my mother have?" Harry said tossing some marshmallows to the pile.

"Can't tell." Lily said.

"I'm out I fold." James said showing a 2 and 6.

"I'll stay." Sirius said putting his bet into the pile. Lily flipped the card.

"King of diamonds." Lily said.

"I fold." Sirius said as Harry checked.

"Five." Lily said betting.

"Ten." Harry said.

"Twenty." Lily said.

"All in." Harry said pushing in his whole pot. James and Sirius just sat there in shock.

"Flip them." Lily said as she and Harry both flipped the cards. Lily had absolutely nothing and Harry had an ace and king.

"Hey you didn't have anything." Sirius said to Lily.

"It's called a bluff smart one." Harry said collecting his pot. "But I win I got a full house."

---------------------

Next morning...

Harry felt his back being rubbed.

"Harry do you want to get Hermione or should I send Sirius and your dad?" Lily asked softly.

"I'll get her what time is it?" Harry asked turning over to get his glasses.

"Around eight but I knew you two would want to spend time together before everyone else got here." Lily said.

"Thanks I can't believe dad last night. He hustled us good." Harry said with a small grin.

"Yeah I forgot I taught him poker years ago in school." Lily said.

"Well, I better get over there. I am just going over like this well I am going to brush my teeth first. I am wearing sweatpants and a t-shirt." Harry said with a grin. "Then we can change here or well I will. I am going to wear my new robes and my new cloak and necklace actually I am wearing it now." Harry said showing her. "Well I changed my mind I'll dress before I go."

"You are too goofy." Lily said.

"A gene I passed." James said jumping onto the bed next to Harry. "Morning Pronglet."

"Morning Prongs." Harry said leaning on his dad.

"I am going to make breakfast for everyone that is coming over this morning parents saying bye and the others." Lily said getting up from Harry's desk armchair.

"So Harry I am glad you and Hermione have this love together. Your mother and I are just like you two. She a bit of a bookworm and me the quidditch star or well popular one. She defines popular, as most known but doesn't have to be most liked. Anyway I am glad you found someone like her. It took you long enough to realize but I won't go there. So go and wake her up and bring her and her parents over, also she has a sister so bring her. Everyone else will be coming with theirs so tell her and her parents." James said.

"Thanks I am glad you are glad. I guess I'll go. Guess what I found out I can do." Harry said.

"What?" James asked as Harry stood up out of bed.

"Watch." Harry I said as he put a finger over his head and closed his eyes. In a second his sweat pants and shirt where gone and replaced with black velvet robes.

"Wow. If I try that I need a wand. Harry Potter will you ever cease to amaze me?" James said.

"I don't know." Harry said pulling on some nice dress shoes he had laid out the night before. He then stuck his pajamas in the trunk.

"Harry you are so mature for your age. I am happy for that but once you get back I want you to act like a teenager. I want you to yell and disagree also not listen." James said.

"Why there isn't a point to that. Plus I want to like my parents, which I do. Also I want them to like and love me." Harry said.

"We do." James said getting up and hugging Harry. "I just want you to be a teen." James said.

"I am just not a normal one. I am different and I am glad for some of the things that have happened. Some times I hate my life and wonder why me. But then I remember I am the one thing standing between good and evil. There is one thing Voldemort was right about. There is no good and evil only power. Power will out; he isn't more powerful than me for three reasons. He doesn't have love, family, or friends. Only followers. No one has ever loved him except his family and looked what he did to them he killed them didn't he. Friends he probably hasn't heard that in forever. I have all that and power. That is how I survived. If I didn't have that I would not be able to live I wouldn't have been alive. What do you think kept me alive? My friends. If I didn't have them to stand by me I don't think I would be alive." Harry said.

"Such wise words for a sixteen year old. Though I find your accomplishments better than mine, I have to say not even I use such thought." Dumbledore said from the doorway. "But you are quite right, Tom was put into an orphanage when he was young and never loved. You have more power than he'll ever know that is why you must pick up Miss Granger and be back before noon."

"Yes sir." Harry said.

"My name to you is Albus." Dumbledore said.

"Right then ALBUS I will go and pick up Hermione." Harry said laughing with the other two.

"Harry don't apparate into the house it will be too loud." James said.

"Not Harry's his is barely a pop." Dumbledore said.

"I think we will be back with in an hour." Harry said.

"Bye." Dumbledore said.

"Bye." James said. Harry waved and apparated to Hermione's house. He apparated across the street from her house. It was only a small pop. Harry walked across the street and knocked on the door to the house.

"Coming." Someone said through the door. The door opened revealing a woman by the name of Jane.

"Hi I am sure Hermione told you everything?" Harry said.

"Yes and it so nice to see you." Jane said hugging Harry and bringing him inside.

"Nice to see you too. I came to pick you all up and wake Hermione up too." Harry said.

"Well you know where her room is hop to it." Jane said. "Can you do me a favor and wake up Faith too?"

"Sure I'd love to." Harry said going up the stairs. He went to Hermione's room first. Harry walked into her room and saw her sleeping peacefully in her bed and her robes draped over her chair. He climbed into her bed and started to rub her back and blow on her neck. She moved slightly and rolled over to face him.

"Morning Love." Harry said.

"Morning Harry." Hermione said.

"It's around eight-thirty. So wake up and get ready while I go and get Faith ready." Harry said.

"Do you think you can give her a bath?" Hermione asked.

"I'll try." Harry said.

"If you can't just come and get me." Hermione said.

"Alright." Harry said walking into the hallway. He walked into Faith's room and saw her sleeping peacefully. Harry walked over to her crib and picked her up carefully with her blanket and sat in the corner chair.

"Faith." Harry said quietly rocking back and forth. "Faith wake up hunny." He started rubbing her back. Her tiny brown eyes cracked open and she yawned and stretched. Harry thought it was so cute.

"Dadda?" Faith asked looking at Harry.

"Yeah it's me." Harry said.

"Dadda!" Faith said kissing his chin. Harry stood up and walked into Hermione's room and she was just coming out of the shower into her room.

"Oh I am sorry I thought you were still in there." Harry said.

"It's okay I'm in a towel." Hermione said. "You can use the bathroom now."

"Alright." Harry said giving her a quick kiss.

"Thank you." Hermione said.

"Your most certainly welcome." Harry said taking Faith into the bathroom. He started to fill the tub and put bubble bath in the running water. He also tested the water it was the perfect temperature.

"Ready for your bath?" Harry asked Faith.

"Dadda!" Faith said clapping her hands together. Harry undressed her all except for her diaper as he waited for the bath to finish filling. He took off her diaper and put it in the trashcan and lowered Faith into the tub. By then Hermione came in wearing her robes that were matching to Harry's.

"You are doing great." Hermione said as Harry began to wash Faith's body with a peach body wash.

"Thanks. At first I wasn't sure because she is a girl but I don't think it is a big difference. She's only a baby." Harry said.

"Well I admire a guy brave enough to wash a baby let alone the baby being a girl." Hermione said kissing his cheek.

"Well thank you where is her shampoo?" Harry asked.

"Oh here." Hermione said pouring the shampoo into his hand. He gently began to wash Faith's hair.

"So are you already to go back in time train and come back for a great summer now that we don't have to train the whole time?" Harry asked if it were a regular thing. Hermione laughed.

"Yeah you?" Hermione asked.

"Yep." Harry said rinsing Faith's hair. "She's done." Harry said as Hermione handed him a towel. He picked her up with the towel as Hermione drained the tub. He put her in the baby position and carried her into the nursery and put her on the changing table. She was giggling and watching the two teens do magic for her amusement.

"So what should she wear?" Harry asked.

"I don't know how about some clothes and a cloak that is shrunken." Hermione said.

"Sounds good." Harry said as Hermione went and got out a cloak and shrunk it. He picked out a summer dress that had a lion on it and was yellow and gold.

"That looks so cute." Hermione said after she put on the cloak.

"Go and get your parents and bags as I put on her shoes." Harry said.

"Alright." Hermione said and left. Harry chose red socks and white sneakers with two red stripes. He picked up her blanket and put it neatly in a small bag along with a toy or two and a couple diapers with wipes. He grabbed her and brought her downstairs. The Grangers were waiting in the hallway for him.

"Hey we have milk and stuff at my house I just grabbed some toys and diapers. Oh and her blanket." Harry said.

"Harry you are so helpful. Too good for words." Jane said.

"Yes he is." Hermione said hugging Harry. He put an arm around her waist and held Faith in his other arm.

"Let me get a quick picture." Jane said taking her camera out of her bag she was bringing it for Hermione to take when she was in the past and plenty film. They all smiled and had a picture taken.

"How are we getting there?" Asked Charlie.

"Well if it takes a while to get to Sirius's old house from here it will take longer to get to Godric's Hallow." Harry said more to Hermione than everyone else.

"How about you two hold on to Hermione as we apparate and I'll take Faith and her stuff and Hermione's bag." Harry said. "Go." Harry said as they all apparated safely to Godric Hallow. Then he and Faith apparated.

"Hey everyone." Harry said walking into the room startling most since no one heard him apparate. He had left the bag near the steps and Faith wasn't noticed in her black cloak against his. Others greeted him back. Harry walked into the kitchen. Lily, James, Sirius, Remus, and Hermione were all talking.

"Hey Harry." Everyone said.

"Hey." Harry said moving his arms so a baby girl would appear.

"Who's this?" Lily said.

"This is Hermione's little baby sister Faith." Harry said as the baby giggled.

"Landon is in the other room if you want to let them play together." Kate said walking into the room with Tori.

"Sure." Harry said. "I'll be right back." He and the two girls walked out of the room and into the family room where most people were. In the corner was a baby giggling madly because of people doing magic. Harry sat Faith next to Landon. They looked at each other a minute and began to play with the blocks Landon had. The teens smiled as the babies played together. Harry walked away after the other girls did back into the kitchen.

"We are going to miss you Pronglet." James said.

"Well at least I have my friends going with me right? At least I am not going by myself." Harry said.

"Yes now that is a good thing Harry. Just think you will have plenty of vacation time afterwards. We all can spend time together." Remus said.

"Right there Moony." Sirius said. "Harry can I talk to you?"

"Sure." Harry said he and Sirius making their way upstairs. Once they were upstairs Sirius closed the door and looked at his godson.

"Harry I have missed you so much. I barely got to see you during the school year and then I died. I am sorry for that. But I want to give you something or well more than one thing." Sirius said.

"I don't blame you plus you came back." Harry said.

"Yes but I caused you much grief and I am sorry for that I want you to have this." Sirius said handing him a book. Harry opened it and inside were pictures of him and Sirius in different places having fun. Some were new like the surprise party and so much more while Lily and James and he came back to life.

"I love it." Harry said.

"Wait I have one more thing." Sirius said handing him another book. But this one was different it was covered in black snakeskin.

"What is it?" Harry said.

"It's a journal for you to keep while in the past. I want you to record everything that happens. It can work as a pensive too." Sirius said.

"Wow thanks. Seriously Sirius thanks. This will be great." Harry said.

"I'm glad you like it." Sirius said as a knock came from the door.

"Come in." Harry said.

"Hey it's just us." James said with Remus behind him.

"Oh you gave him the journal good. Harry I want you to not put too much pressure on yourself. You have three months and possible more. If you do then we will be informed. But I doubt you will need three months to finish training." Remus said.

"I agree Harry you were given many gifts. You are very powerful not many could do what you have done. I am not talking about just magic power but emotional power too. Most would break by now." James said.

"I am going to try my hardest I'll try not to wear myself out. I am not sure about the whole training thing but I do know I must be powerful. Otherwise I wouldn't be here today and wouldn't be having a good life." Harry said.

"Well we still have a few more hours why don't we do some flying." James said.

"Sounds good to me." Harry said grabbing his broom.

"You are so much like your father Harry." Remus said messing up Harry's hair more.

"Thanks just what I need." Harry said leading the way downstairs. Making the way through the family room he caught the attention of Hermione, Ron, Chris, Tori, Kate, and Lily. Many others followed too including Dumbledore. "Tori can you do me a favour?" Harry asked.

"What?" Tori asked.

"I need a quidditch set." Harry said.

"Coming up." Tori said as they all reached the field. She zapped a large crate with the Potter family crest on it.

"How did you know what our crest looked like?" James asked.

"It is on a tapestry in the library." Tori said.

"Oh." James said.

"Teams?" Harry asked.

"Captain me and captain you." James said.

"First pick Ron." Harry said. Ron joined his side.

"Harry I haven't a broom." Ron said but Tori zapped him one.

"Sirius." James said. Sirius joined his side and Tori got him a broom.

"Fred." Harry said as Fred went and picked up a beater club.

"Lets see Tori." James said with a grin.

"George." Harry said.

"Kate." James said.

"Ginny." Harry said.

"Darn it was hoping but how about Luna." James said.

"Jake." Harry said.

"Remus you up for it?" James asked as he joined his side.

"Bill." Harry said.

"Julie." James said.

"Dad I hope you're in the mood to lose again." Harry said.

"Right." James said.

"Lily will you ref your family and the game?" Sirius said.

"Alright captains shake hands." Lily said. Some of the people started to make their way into the seats that were up high to watch one being Albus Dumbledore. James and Harry shook hands and then kicked off along with the rest of their teams. Lily magnified her voice and sat in the stands.

"WELCOME TO THE FIRST GAME AT THE POTTER'S HOUSE. POSTIONS CAPTIAN HARRY POTTER SEEKER FOR LIGHTNING BOLTS, RON WEASLEY KEEPER, FRED AND GEORGE WEASLEY BEATERS, GINNY WEASLEY CHASER, JAKE GRIFFITHS CHASER, AND BILL WEASLEY CHASER.

"WEASLEY, WEASLEY, LOVEGOOD, BLACK, LUPIN, WEASLEY, GRIFFITHS, WEASLEY, WEASLEY, WEASLEY, GRIFFITHS GOAL!" Lily shouted. "10-ZIP BOLTS. NO SIGN OF THE SNITCH YET AND IT IS 9:30 AM.

BLACK, LUPIN, BLACK, LUPIN..."

Harry was lost focus on the commentary. He was trying to show his dad some of the genes he passed. Harry was skimming the field with his eyes still nothing.

'Harry how are you up there?' Hermione asked.

'Good how are you down there?' Harry said not losing concentration on the game.

'Good, you are winning I know you aren't paying attention to it. Just looking for the snitch.' Hermione said.

'Yes, you know me all to well. I think I should fake my dad out. Plus I want to try this move I've been working on in my head tell Albus to not do anything.' Harry said.

'Alright just tell me when.' Hermione said.

'I am going to fake him out my dad that is. Just tell Dumbledore don't do anything if something happens.' Harry said.

'Okay.' Hermione said as she made her way to Dumbledore.

'He said okay.' Hermione said.

'All right thanks. Love you.' Harry said blowing her a kiss.

'Love you too.' Hermione said blowing a kiss back to him. Harry dove pretending to see the snitch and his father followed. He pulled out 10 feet from the ground but Harry kept at it until 2 feet.

"Harry you are such a goofball." James yelled.

"Just remember I'm your son." Harry yelled back. He and James laughed.

Almost an hour passed until Harry saw a glint of a snitch. Harry then flew over to Tori who was hovering above the keeper goals.

"What did you do to the snitch?" Harry asked.

"I didn't do anything. Mine prove to hide more." Tori said batting a bludger away from Harry's head.

"Your on the other team." Harry said noticing she batted away from his head.

"I am not going to let it hit you in the head so we can win. Plus I won't be known as someone who let the Harry Potter black out before he goes to training." Tori said. "What time is it?" Tori asked.

"Almost 11." Harry said.

"Hey Harry?"

"What?"

"Wasn't daylight savings time not invented after one of the world wars?" Tori said.

"Yeah."

"At eleven we are going to be transported to the past." Tori said.

"Your right. I have to tell Dumbledore." Harry said flying towards the stands when he saw a glint of gold about 20 feet from the ground. He jumped off his broom and sky dove towards it. Closing in on it 20 feet, 10, 5, and 3.

"ACCIO BROOM." Harry yelled pointing his hand out and grabbing the snitch with the other. He then disappeared as his watch struck the hour 11.
