Sorry for the delay. My muse likes to play hide and seek and I can't seem to find her often. I add to a chapter as she peeks out of the corner and I see her which is why I am slow at updating.


Miah had been in the past for two and half weeks and it has been sheer bliss. She has been able to be a flighty teenager, unlike before.

They had returned from Germany earlier this week after seeing a slew of great bands, Uriah Heep, Aerosmith, Ted Nugent and a few others. Talk about having fun.

Later today the boys were taking her to Hogsmeade so that she can pick up some supplies, plus she needs some Honeydukes chocolate.

~ooOoo~

After buying her supplies of Honeydukes the boys start to take her to Zonkos. While walking over as Remus is pointing out the landmarks of Hogsmeade, Miah hears the telltale sounds of mass apparition and feels the anti-apparition and anti-portkey wards going up. She tells them about the wards and that they need to get ready for Death Eaters.

Staring at her with surprise that she can feel the wards they all pull out their wands and start scanning the area.

"Down there," Miah shouts and points to three Death Eaters cursing innocent bystanders. Running over Miah starts on the two men who are getting ready to cast a curse on a young boy. When James stuns one and the other enervates him, she tells James to not bother stunning them but to take them down hard so that they cannot get back up. "You don't have to kill them, just make sure that they are out of the fight for a long time. Slice off a hand or break their legs just don't dick around as this is a war not a sanctioned duel on the circuit."

After taking care of the second man she turned her attention to where Sirius was duelling with the last one. Sirius hit her with a hex that knocked off her mask and Miah saw that it was her recurring nightmare, Bellatrix Lestrange, causing her to freeze.

Cackling, Bellatrix calls out to Sirius "Lookie here it's the blood-traitor with his blood-traitor friends." She hits him with a cruciatus curse. As he falls with a bloodcurdling scream it breaks Miah out of her frozen state.

"NOT THIS TIME YOU INSANE BITCH," she yells as she jumps in front of Sirius. She starts sending darker and darker curses at Bellatrix grazing her with the Snape special, Sectumsempra.

As they are duelling Miah starts taunting Bellatrix about her Master, asking her how she likes sucking a half-bloods arse.

Miah has gotten Bellatrix so discombobulated that she starts making mistakes. Miah finally sees an opening and sends a reductor towards Bellatrix's wand arm smashing her wand and her arm just as Bellatrix appairates out of there. Pissed that she didn't get to take down the bitch Miah lets out a string of cussing that turns the air blue and has both James and Remus blushing like young schoolgirls.

Turning to James, Miah tells him to get in touch with his dad.

"I need to speak to him before I tell all of you my past."

"You mean you finally remember?" asks Remus.

"Yeah, something like that, but I really need to speak with Mr Potter first. Can we go there now James?"

"You kids there. Hold-up, we need to interview you before you go anywhere," calls out a gruff voice.

Turing to see who is calling them they see a tallish man with grizzled face missing an eye and with a peg-leg.

"Oh damn, it's Mad-eye Moody," grumbles Miah.

"Mad-eye!" Sirius and James mouth to each other. "Great name we will have to remember that," states James.

"Okay, you Potter, tell me what happened," barked Moody.

"Uh, while we were heading towards Zonko's, we heard a bunch of pops and Miah here felt anti-apparition wards and anti-portkey wards going up"

"Girly, you can feel wards being raised?"

"Yes. These were flimsy wards just enough to do the trick. Can't you feel wards going up Master Auror Moody?" Miah asked sweetly.

Sirius barked out a laugh while Remus and James sniggered in the background.

"Hurmp! Usually, only those highly trained can feel wards going up," he said angrily.

"Well, where I come from, we were taught early on that we must have CONSTANT VIGILANCE," Miah shouted out Moody's catchphrase causing everyone to jump at little.

A man who looked a lot like James, messy salt and pepper hair, glasses and brilliant blue eyes walked up chuckling, "She must have met you before Alistor. There for a second, I thought someone had castrated you with that high pitched voice yelling out CONSTANT VIGILANCE."

"Dad! What brings you out in the field?"

"Well, I heard that my sons had taken down the Lestrange brothers and I wanted to be assured that they were okay. I didn't want to be the one to tell your mother that you were hurt fighting them."

"It was more Miah than us Dad. I had stunned Rabastian then Rodolphus enervated him. She told me that we need to take them down hard. Not kill them, but just make sure that they are out of the fight."

"Someone has trained this lass properly," grumps Moody never knowing that it was he who taught her that. "She is correct Mr Potter when you are in a fight for your life you don't want the enemy to be able to keep coming back at you after you take them down."

Miah interrupts the impromptu lesson asking, "Mr Potter, after we have finished being interviewed can I please speak to you and your wife privately? I have information that is pertinent to you and your family."

Looking at Miah sharply he answers "Okay. Have James bring you through the floo at the Three Broomsticks. I will go through the first and open the other side to you and alert my wife."

"Okay, thanks. Oh, wait! Please take this and you and your wife peruse it while we are being interviewed. Pleases don't open it until you are in the privacy of your home. I believe that you will understand once you look."

"Sure, I can do that." Charlus Potter looked at her bewildered.

Once Charlus got home he added Miah to the ward book then called his wife Dorea into his study.

He told her what happened in Hogsmeade with James and Sirius and how their new friend (they both knew she was from the future) handed him this photo album tasking him with sharing it with his wife. He let her know that the young lady was coming over later to answer any questions they may have.

Opening the album they see the life of their son at Hogwarts. Most of these pictures they had seen until they got to the pictures of James and Lily's wedding.

From there forward were photos of James and Lily pregnant, of James with a wide smile holding a beautiful baby boy, of a baby riding on the back of a stag and a big black dog laughing and clapping his hands. Then the album changed themes.

The next pictures were of a young boy who looked like James' twin but with bright green eyes heading to Hogwarts. On the express with what looked like a Weasley and a bushy-haired buck-toothed girl.

"What is this?" asks Dorea Potter

"I take it that this is our grandson, but where are James and Lily? Why is that child wearing clothes four times too big and practically falling apart? Also, where are the pictures of his childhood before Hogwarts?"

As they go through further and further into the album they see their apparent grandson with the same two children and in some impossible situations. One that looks to be a picture of the boy flying against a huge dragon. Another of him flying on the back of a hippogriff and a thestril (it seems as you can see them in photographs even if not in real life). There was one with him at a memorial for Albus Dumbledore.

They come to the final photo that shocks them to their core. It is a photo of James and Lily's graves headstones. The date of their deaths in four years from now.

Looking at each other horrified Charlus Potter knows what he must do. What his family did not know was that he was the Head Unspeakable at the Department of Mysteries. He understands that the only type of artefact that could bring someone back so far had to come from the DoM and he wants answers outside of the Ministry as this involves his family.
