"Who are you people and what was that!" demanded Molly Weasley as she had recognised her son's voice, startling the populace of the room and the two guests, Ginny looked at her no expression what so ever on the pale freckled features, as she tiredly lay her head on Harry's shoulder. "We have to tell them" she whispered to Harry who nodded "I'll tell them, you get some rest" too tired to argue Ginny nodded, she was asleep within seconds causing Harry to smile as he transfigured the discarded chair into a soft comfortable bed, laying her carefully down he wrapped a blanket over her gently kissing her on the head causing her to stir before he addressed the group, "I suppose I should start at the beginning".
"That would be agreeable" said Albus as everyone took a seat facing the strangers; they noted that the boy had positioned himself defensively between the girl and the group, as if he was expecting to be attacked. "Why don't you tell us your names" stated Remus. Harry looked at them "To do this I am going to swear on my magic that what I tell you is the truth", a soft golden light encompassed him causing the adults to look on in shock as the golden light encompassed him and the girl as she mirrored the words of the boy before falling asleep again.
Looking at the people in the room he took a steadying breath "Please do not interrupt until I have finished" at the confirming nods he continued "My name is Harry James Potter, I was born on Halloween 1980 to Lily and James Potter, a year later on Halloween 1981 Voldermort attacked Godricks Hollow with the pre-tense to kill the Potters, thanks to the traitor Peter Pettigrew Voldermort managed to kill my father and mother, when he tried to kill me the killing curse back-fired, almost killing Voldermort and leaving me with this scar. I spent the next ten years living with my Aunt, Uncle and cousin while my Godfather was in Azkaban until I received my Hogwarts letter, I was introduced to the wizarding world and began my education, that is when I met Ron Weasley and the rest of his family, we became fast friends and soon met Hermonie Granger, it would not be until Halloween of our first year that three for us became inseparable as a troll had entered the dungeons, we thought it to be Professor Snape, but we were wrong it turned out to be our Defence against the Dark Arts teacher Professor Quirrel. Who at the time he had been possessed by Voldermorts essence" Harry had begun to pace the room as the memories of a life long ago resurfaced "Quirrel was after the Philosopher's stone, needless to say that he did not get it, and unfortunately Professor Quirrel died that day".
Harry looked at the sleeping form on the bed and smiled he knew that questions were going to be asked and they needed answers. "This is Ginny Molly Weasley, we had briefly met in first year, we became friends in second year, as she was given a diary by Luscious Malfoy and that diary managed to open the chamber of secrets, attacks on muggle borns started throughout the school. It turned out Voldermort acted through Ginny to open the chamber, again Voldermorts plan did not work as the basilisk was defeated and the Horcrux held within was destroyed.
He had stopped pacing as the memories assaulted his already aching head, he wanted nothing more that to lie down and sleep for a week, he knew that he had to continue, he cleared his throat, "Third year was slightly better, the only thing to occur then were the Demetors, Peter Pettigrew being found out" and with a smile that actually went to his eyes "and Sirius' escape from Azkaban!" he said happily "WHAT!" roared James Remus and Sirius, Harry looked confused at the outburst then he remembered, he looked at his godfather who had paled at that statement, "Sorry, I forgot to mention that Sirius was framed for the murders of thirteen muggles, and the betrayal of my parents. You broke out of Azkaban and trailed Wormtail to Hogwarts were you tried on many occasions to rip him apart, due to the unfortunate circumstances of that particular night he managed to escape but not before we found out the truth and that was the only thing that mattered. Unfortunately we were never able to clear your name". A sad smile etched upon his features as he finished telling them about third year however Sirius was grinning like a mad man "Pads what are you grinning about?" asked a bemused Remus Sirius turned to his friend I went to and escaped Azkaban, my mother would be so proud!" he barked before hysterical laughter filled the room causing Harry to put a silencing charm around Ginny, before succumbing to laughter himself at the antics of the marauders, how good it was to hear them laugh again, especially his father as he had never heard him laugh.
Harry continued to tell the room of the Tri-Wizard Tournament, in which an imposter of Alistair Moody had put his name in the goblet of fire, of how he had to face the Ministry, a dragon, the mer-people and the maze, he explained that the cup was actually a port key and due to the Death Eater imposter Cedric was murdered and Voldermort was returned to his body, shock swept through the room as he told them in detail of Voldermorts return, he went onto tell them of the fiasco of Umbridge and her decrees, the chaos of the twins, the prophecy, finally ending with the Sirius, the veil and the Ministry realising that Voldermort had returned. Silent tears were flowing freely down Lily's cheeks as she listened to what her son had been through. Yet she was proud as she knew that James was proud also.
The silence was broken as a whimper rung out throughout the room causing Harry to hurtle towards Ginny as she thrashed about on the bed trapped in a nightmare, by the soft chant of "no's" coming from her it was the usual one about the deaths of her family, before he reached her a blood curdling scream tore from her throat as she bolted out of bed firing a curse in Harry's general direction which he was able to deflect and pull her wand away from her as she slumped to the ground sobbing, he wrapped his arms around her "Shh, it's okay Gin it just a nightmare, it's over" he soothed as she slowly fell back to sleep, safe in his arms. He sat with her cuddled in his arms for a few minutes before he carefully lifted her up off the floor and back on to the bed, offering words of comfort to the distraught girl.
The adults in the room were shocked at the amount of pain and terror they heard in that scream, it brought back memories for them off the anguish and pain that each of them had suffered thanks to Voldermorts torment over the years. It broke their hearts that these two young people in front of them had seen so much pain and suffering that they suffered nightmares this bad. "Is that normal?" asked Sirius as he watched the others in the room, Harry turned to them with a grave expression, "Yeah, has been for the last year" he closed his eyes as the memory of that horrid day pushed to the front, he shook his head slightly "We, as in Hermonie, Ron, Ginny and myself had just returned home to find it burned to the ground" he choked slightly as he looked at the Weasleys in front of him, he had no idea how he was going to tell them of their own deaths, he opened his mouth to say something, several emotions flicking across his tired features when a hand on his arm made him snap his mouth shut, he turned to look at Ginny, who smiled and faced her 'deceased family' "we found mum and dad hanging from the willow tree, their bodies burnt beyond recognition, Fred, George, Bill, Charlie and Percy were found inside the house with Tonks" Arthur had grabbed Molly as she had began to shake, the rest of the Weasley family had paled as they heard of their deaths, Tonks looked ready to cry as she bowed her head to hide the tears that had slipped down her normally bright cheeks, her hair matched the sombre mood of the room.
It had not gone unnoticed by the headmaster or the deputy headmistress that the only people that Harry had cared about were now dead except for Ginny who had hugged Harry throughout the tales. She was shocked to the core that a boy of 18 had defeated Voldermort seven times, yet she was proud, she somehow could see him and Ginny both being members of her House. Albus cleared his throat "What happened to cause both of you to show up here, where Voldermort has never been thwarted. I'm afraid that Voldermort and his Death Eaters are very alive, they have never been defeated, even the Light side is having difficulties now to defeat him, the prophecy here is the same as yours I'm afraid, we do not have a choose one, as Voldermort killed all of the children born in that specific year."
Harry and Ginny gapped at him, Harry slowly sank onto the bed beside Ginny, causing Ginny to look at him, he was pale and exhausted yet she knew he would not rest until he figured out what to do, she knew that he would face Voldermort again, this time he would not allow anyone to die, she had noticed Snape had not said a word, but had watched the pair carefully as if assessing a potion ingredient. She only hoped that he was for the Light and not the Dark, she looked at every single person, enjoying the sight of them all alive and breathing knowing that she could talk and laugh with them all. She looked at Harry and took his hand, "Whatever your thinking I'm in" she whispered causing tired pain filled eyes to lock on to hers causing a shiver to run down her spine "I know Gin, I just have to find Him" he retorted weakly as sleep was slowly claiming him "rest, we will find Him together, He and his Death Eaters will pay for what they have done" Harry had gave in to the need for sleep as Ginny gently stroked his arm, she looked up to see the confused expressions on Lily and James' faces as well as everyone in the room.
She smirked "We were on the run for a year; Hogwarts was closed for safety as the Carrows had taken over the school, parents kept their children home safe where no one could harm them, the muggle born children were in hiding after the massacre of Hogwarts and Hogsmead, we vowed to each other to always fight for the light, that's when Hermonie came up with an idea to always be reachable, so we created these rings for each of us, they can be turned into emergency port keys, as the year went on Ron and Hermonie were murdered, and the final battle took place. Harry and I were all that remained to face Voldermort, but the prophecy had to be fulfilled so as they fought I picked off anyone who would interfere. The Light fought bravely the majority of Order members that survived the first and second wave could not possibly survive the third, they all began to fall one by one, the last was you Remus, you died saving my life and I never got to thank you for it, so thank you my friend" stated Ginny as she gently got up and hugged her old Professor.
Shocked he didn't know how to react, he gently hugged her back, as Ginny pulled out of the hug she looked at her family and couldn't resist hugging them, she hugged every person in the room including Snape, saying how grateful she was for him teaching her all about healing potions and insisting in making the Wolfsbane potion. She was ecstatic that everyone was alive and well especially in these times, James had wondered over to were Harry was asleep and was content in watching him, as Lily came over "Our baby boy has turned out to be a fine man!" stated Lily.
Harry didn't know where he was, the last thing he remembered was talking to his parents, and Ginny was with him, he felt an immense pain crash trough his skull as a vision tore through his subconscious, Voldermort was standing outside Godricks Hollow with an evil glint in his eye, "I know he's in there, no one touches Potter except me! The others are free to anyone including Albus Dumbledore this time he dies, Fate had no right sending him back!" the Potters watched as their son began thrashing and squirming, the whole room watched as Harry sat bolt upright drenched in sweat, one looke at him and you knew something was wrong "Harry?" asked Ginny as she came over to him, with a gasp he shook his head "He's here again, he knows I'm here!" he told here as he shakily stood up checking the wards of Godricks Hollow surprising everyone inside as he stopped and paled "Gin, come here and tell me what you feel" she followed and gasped, "Oh Merlin!, but how, how did he know you were here, I'm not going to let you walk out there and die again!" she snapped.
He smiled at her, "It won't matter Gin, no one in this room will survive if I don't and I will not let them die a second time!" Ginny looked at him "I told you I'm in no matter what!" she snapped back he looked at her and smiled "then you know what you need to do" he replied as he closed his eyes and summoned what magical energy he had left, Ginny did the same, as gold and red engulfed them both they were covered in dragon hide armour bearing the crest of Hogwarts with the Phoenix in the centre just like the rings they wore, they turned to the people in the room and cast a powerful charm that would not allow them to leave the room, but would protect them no matter what happened "If we fail at least you will all be alive, we will not lose you again!" stated Harry as he withdrew his wand and Godric Gryffindors sword, he turned to Ginny "this ends now!" he stated as the two of them headed towards the door it was blown off the hinges as the front of the house was demolished, the occupants in the room gasped as Voldermort addressed Harry "POTTER!" he roared "It's so nice to see you alive after all of these years, especially as I killed you years ago" he spat "Beggars can't be choosers, it time you died!"
Ginny danced around the Death Eaters, she was enjoying herself to much, she relished in the fact of being able to kill Luscious and Bellatrix for killing her family and friends, she took great pride in getting revenge for all those who had lost their lives in the war and she got revenge for Harry. The Death Eaters fled as Ginny took them out one by one without a scratch, she took a break and sat on the remaining wall to watch Harry fighting Voldermort and to make sure no one interfered. She could watch Harry all day, but his fight was coming to an end, insults were being throwing back and forward, one thing was for sure this Voldermort was nowhere near as powerful as the one from their time frame, it came as no surprise as this Voldermort was defeated in a shorter time, the fact that this Voldermort was gone was a weight lifted of her shoulders as she released the charm that had been holding the others safely out of harm's way. She watched as Harry plunged the blade of Gryffindor into Voldermorts chest with satisfaction.
A collective gasp rang out as the Order members witnesses the most improbable thing ever to happen, Voldermort had been defeated by an eighteen year old boy. Lily and James watched in horror as a rouge Death Eater hurled a curse in Harry's direction, Harry unable to stop it smiled as the curse came closer, shouts and yells rang out as the spell seemed to his Harry squarely on the chest and he fell backwards into oblivion.
Everyone looked on in horror as Ginny leapt of the wall and ran as fast as she could to Harry's side, tears slipping down her pale cheeks as she watched Harry fall to the ground dead, she could not believe that she had failed him after all of these years. She lifted Harry's head onto her lap tears freely flowing as she gently rocked his body back and forth, she gently murmured his name calling him back and telling how much she loved him, Harry was unsure of where he was he could hear Ginny calling him, but he could see a figure standing in front of him, he recognised the figure as Luna Lovegood, "Luna? But how?" she smiled at him, "You have done well Harry, now is not your time, you have a new life ahead of you now, parents to meet and a girlfriend that loves you for who you are, do not give up yet Harry and do not ponder on this we shall met again" Harry was thrown backwards towards Ginny's voice as his parents and the Order watched in amazement as Harry slowly opened his eyes, "Gin?" came the weak call, Ginny looked down at him "HARRY!" she yelled as he smiled at her "Love you too".
