Chapter 2
The first thing Harry heard when he woke up was a high pitched scream. Harry had never been a heavy sleeper and fighting in the war had added to that sentiment. Harry's eyes shot open and he grabbed his wand getting into a fighting stance. Harry's eyes darted frantically around the room not being able to recall where he was.
Harry spotted Hermione and Ron lying unconscious on a bench opposite of him and he quickly moved to wake them. He shook their shoulders praying to merlin that they hadn't been hit by some dark spell. Slowly they started to stir and Harry couldn't help but let a soft sigh escape his lips. Suddenly everything that had happened in the past or was it the future came back him; the war, the deaths and the destruction caused by Voldemort and his bloody death munches. Lost in his memories he barely realise that both Ron and Hermione.
"Harry, where are we? It looks the train to Hogwarts, but Hogwarts was destroyed wasn't it Harry?" Hermione said with a confused look on her face, "why do we look like so different, like how we did when we were younger?"
"Hermione calm down! You freaking out won't solve anything" Ron said in a aspirated voice.
"Calm down! Calm down! You want me to calm down when I have no idea where we are or what happened-" Hermione's shrilled voice was cut short by the sound of Harry's voice.
"Guys arguing won't solve anything weren't you listening to what death told us. How he mentioned that he would send us back to our 13yr old bodies but at a price" Harry said interrupting Hermione and Ron's squabble.
"We travelled back in time, to our 13yr old bodies. Oh merlin. Sirius is alive, Sirius is alive" Hermione whispered faintly to herself.
"Merlins saggy balls! My families alive I can see them again" Ron said shocked with his face turning pale.
"Yes they're all alive," Harry said softly looking forward to spending time with his godfather again but a sudden thought crossed his mind causing him to frown.
'Everyone would think we'd have gone barking mad if we told them that we'd travelled years back in time and met death' Harry thought.
"Guy's we can't tell anyone we're from the future" Harry said anxiously, "they'd all think we've gone mad and lock us up a St Mungo's! We can't tell anyone about the future. We have to have our Occlumency shield up and can't let anything slip" he particularly stressed the last part out before the train compartment started to freeze.
Frost was starting to form on the window and the temperature had turned freezing cold. They could each see their breath in the freezing cold air. They scooted closer together trying to conserve their body heat. The trio's teeth chattered and they rubbed their shoulders trying to heat themselves up.
Squeaking the train compartment door opened slowly, with a dementer looming over the door. As soon as the foul creature entered the room the temperature had plunged. Memories of the war filled Hermione's, Harry's and Ron's head. Frozen, they relived war for the second time in their lives; the trio wasn't able to do anything to protect themselves as it became to feed off their souls. One by one each of them succumbed to the darkness. Hermione was the first to fall, then Ron and Harry only just before he saw a blurry figure standing in the door way.
Waking up after falling unconscious for the second time that day, Harry began to sit up with the world spinning at a dangerous pace. Harry noticed the same figure he had seen before falling unconscious on the seat beside him,; Harry ignored him in favour of checking is his friends were okay. He gently woke them making sure they had no lasting effects because of the exposure to the dementor before turning his attention to the man he had seen earlier.
Shocked he realised that the man was Remus. The man who had been like an uncle to him was sitting in front of him. Harry had to restrain himself from jumping up and hugging him squishing the life out of him before reminding himself that the man in front of him didn't expect Harry to know who he was. This Remus wasn't his Remus. The Remus who had fallen in love with Tonks, having the most adorable little boy. The man who had fought in the war, the man who had lost his best friend Sirius. The Remus in front of him wasn't his Remus.
Collecting himself, Harry took a deep breath before opening his mouth.
"Who are you? What was that, what happened?" Harry said pretending to be clueless.
"I'm Professor Lupin your new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher. The creature that entered the compartment is a particularly foul creature that guards Azkaban. They're on the train looking for the criminal Sirius Black, they seemed have taken a particular liking to you three" Remus explained, unknowingly drifting into what Ron had once described to be his 'teacher mode'.
Remus handed each of the trio a piece of chocolate repeating the same action he had done all those years ago, "Eat" he said, "trust me it helps" and with that Remus walked out the door to check on the other students.
After he closed the behind him, Harry turned to Hermione and Ron. Their concerned faces stared back at him. He knew what was running through their heads and released that it was going to be extremely difficult face everyone they had seen die.
"I'm fine guys, really" Harry said swiftly.
"This is going to harder than I anticipated" Hermione said looking both Harry and Ron in the eye.
Together both Harry and Ron nodded their heads agreeing with Hermione. While all three were ecstatic about seeing their loved ones again they knew how hard it was going to keep the future a secret.
"We should make a plan about what we should about the Wormtail and the horcruxes" Ron said distracting them from their thoughts and turning into the Master strategist he had been once before in the war.
Each and every person in the Ministry 7 had their own unofficial job. Hermione had been the researcher and their spells expert, Ron their strategist, Harry their power and leader, Neville being the glue that stuck them together and their bravery, Ginny their mental strength and their voice of reason and Luna their sense of humanity preventing each of them become what each of them feared, becoming what they were fighting against. Together they lead the war against Voldemort.
"I think we should reveal that the cowards still alive after Padfoot breaks into Griffindor tower and work from there on out" Harry said after making sure that Wormtail couldn't hear anything that was being said.
"I agree" Hermione said regaining a little bit of colour in her face, "I want to hit the restricted section in the library there has to be more information about the horcruxes that we could use".
Outside of the train compartment Remus Lupin leaned against the wall closing his eyes. In all of his years, fighting in the first war against Voldemort included he had never seen someone's so young's eyes look so haunted and filled with pain. It was the look Remus had often seen in a hardened auror veteran eyes. The ones who had seen their comrades die and couldn't do anything to save them. That look didn't belong on 3 13yr olds faces especially on James son's face. And to have such a server reaction just being in the presences of a dementor, what happened to those kids Remus didn't know but he was going to find out.
