Chapter 2- Is It Really You?

Lily and James saw Sirius and Remus's jaws drop to the floor they went up to go greet their friends, but Remus and Sirius pulled out their wands and pointed it at them.

"Who are you?" Remus asked.

"We are James and Lily your friends." James answered.

"If you're really James and Lily then James you wouldn't mind turning into Prongs and Lily you wouldn't mind showing your Patronus. Would you?" Sirius asked.

James and Lily had a questioning look on their face but, they both did what they asked James turned into Prongs and Lily showed them her Patronus showing that it was indeed her as it was a doe. Sirius once again was in shock, but Remus was still being cautious he wasn't ready to accept it yet.

"Sirius where is Harry is he with you?" Lily asked.

Sirius was about to answer when Remus interrupted. Remus wanted to make sure that it was James and Lily before telling them where Harry was.

"I'm still not convinced that this is really James and Lily we need to contact Dumbledore just to confirm that it is really you." Remus said as he sent a Patronus to Dumbledore to make sure that it was really James and Lily before they told them anything about Harry.

"Please just tell us if Harry is ok at least?" James asked.

"Yes, Harry is alright James." Sirius said as a huge sigh of relief came from James and Lily.

"Well do you guys want some tea while you wait?" Lily asked.

"We'll wait until Dumbledore comes and confirms that it's you, I really can't drink anything right now." Remus responded as they all waited for Dumbledore to come and confirm.

Dumbledore had a handful on his plate it had been like this for the past two days since Lord Voldemort had returned the ministry didn't believe it so Dumbledore knew that the prophet would come at him and Harry as the prophet was just propaganda of the ministry. Anything to discredit the claims of Dumbledore and Harry that Voldemort was back so it was up to Dumbledore to work against Voldemort and re-establish the Order of the Phoenix was his first priority and his second was trying to convince the ministry that Voldemort was indeed back lastly, he needed to make sure that Harry was doing fine as he was the key to the downfall of Voldemort. Dumbledore was about to go visit Harry in the hospital wing but got a message from Remus.

"Dumbledore, we need your help in judgement please bring veritaserum and come meet us at Potter Manor. Bring no one else." Remus's Patronus said.

Dumbledore had no idea what they were doing at Potter Manor or how they got in, but it sure beats him thinking about his next move and it was convenient that Remus was there so he could recruit Remus to rejoin the Order. He also figured that Sirius was there also and he could ask Sirius to rejoin and to also ask him for the permission to ask Sirius to use Grimmuald Place as headquarters for the Order of the Phoenix. He went to Snape to pick up the veritaserum Snape questioned why he needed it but, Dumbledore didn't answer and having him find out it was one of his school rivals who needed it he decided it was best that he leave it out. Next, he went to the hospital wing to check on Harry but, Harry was still passed out so he apparated to Potter Manor.

Dumbledore arrived at Potter Manor and found no trouble in getting into it which Dumbledore found weird since it had been closed down. He pulled out his wand just in case there was trouble. He went into the sitting room to find Sirius and Remus sitting there with two people he never expected to ever see again.

"Remus who are these two imposters?" Dumbledore asked pointing his wand at James and Lily

"This is James and Lily or so the claim." Remus responded.

"James was able to change to prongs and Lily's Patronus was a doe." Sirius added.

"We just want the veritaserum to confirm that it is really them." Remus finished.

"Very well let's give them the veritaserum." Dumbledore said bringing his wand down and brought out the veritaserum.

They administered the veritaserum to James and Lily they started to question them.

"What are your birth names and birthdays?" Dumbledore asked.

"My name James Potter and my birthday is March 27th, 1960." James answered

"My name is Lily Evans, and my birthday is January 30th, 1960." Lily answered.

"James, whose idea was it to change into animagi to help Remus with the transformations?" Sirius asked.

"It was your idea in second year Sirius." James answered.

"Lily, who was your secret keeper." Remus asked.

"It was Sirius Black until we changed it at the last second to Peter Pettigrew by the advice of Sirius." Lily answered.

"I don't believe it. I have no doubts that this is James and Lily Potter." Dumbledore said at last.

"Thank you, professor." Remus said as him and Sirius went to greet their old friends officially.

"Sirius, Remus can I talk to you in private?" Dumbledore asked.

"Of course, sir." Remus replied

"Remus and Sirius can I count on you to keep them out of sight?" Dumbledore asked

"Yes sir." Remus said.

"What about Harry sir?" Sirius asked.

"They can keep watch on him, but they can't see him until we move him to headquarters." Dumbledore said.

"But they will really want to see Harry." Sirius argued.

"We can't have them going after Harry and finding out that they are alive at least not until I have answers on why they're back." Dumbledore said.

"But why can't they see Harry if they are back?" Sirius questioned.

"At least until I find out if they are back for good. I don't want Harry finding out his parents are here and not back for good and giving him false hope." Dumbledore responded.

"I understand sir." Remus said as they all rejoined James and Lily.

"Remus, Sirius, James, and Lily. I am reforming the Order of the Phoenix and would like if you could rejoin it?" Dumbledore asked.

"You can count on us sir." Sirius responded.

"Oh, Sirius I would love it if we could use Grimmauld place as the new headquarters for the order?" Dumbledore asked.

"Of course, Sir." Sirius responded

"I would love to stay and chat with you James and Lily but, I need to get to recruitment done and a little bit of research to also do." Dumbledore said as he left.

"What does he mean by rejoin the Order of the Phoenix and rejoining it?" Lily asked.

"Can we finally see Harry now and who did you guys leave him with?" James asked.

"Umm guys what year so you think it is?" Remus asked.

"1981 why?" Lily responded and asked back.

"Guys it's 1995 we thought you two were dead for the past fourteen years." Sirius said.

James and Lily's mouths dropped as they were shocked as they missed fourteen years of their son's life and the fact they returned to the living.
