Unexpected Visitors: Chapter 3 by Lourdes-Sunrise-Princess
Chapter 3: The Truth Will Set You Free!
Lilian Luna Potter had seen her fair share of strange and unearthly things in her eleven years in the world, but nothing could have prepared her for what she was experiencing right at that instant. Quietly nibbling on a tea biscuit she studied her surroundings – wine coloured wallpaper and ivory frames surrounded the exterior of the only window present in the square room she sat in with her two ape-like brothers who practically inhaled the food in front of them.
The were just like uncle Ron when it came to anything that was edible: Pigs!
But at the moment she didn't have the energy to scowled them for their stupid behavior. Hugging the stuffed prongs she had found lying on the ground-which was an exact duplicate of what her father had given to her on her sixth birthday-she remembered what had occurred only hours ago……….
(Flashback)
" So children, are you ready to enlighten us on who you are?" Dumbledore asked calmly, eyes losing their regular twinkle as he tensed, almost waiting for the children in front of him to morph into death eaters and attack him.
In these times of war, anything could happen!
" Well I'm James, that's Albus and that's Lily" James answered as he pointed out his siblings, with each introduction.
" Is this some kind of joke huh kid, you trying to be a bloody comedian!" The older James shouted he had had enough. Now he was positive, these idiots were death eaters in disguise! Taking out his wand he snarled and pointed it at the three 'childern'.
" James! Stop they're just children!" Lily screamed, unfortunately a little too loud because little Harry woke up and began crying his little heart out. "Shh Shh baby, mommy is here, don't cry"
Although James knew never to cross Lily especially when she got mad he did not lower his hand. Why should he, the three individuals in front of him were death eaters and he would not let them torture his wife and son the same way they had tortured and killed his parents only weeks prior to Harry's birth.
" Hey mate are you mad, point that thing somewhere else!" James argued as he stepped in front of his sister. He knew she could handle any situation thrown at her, after all she was Ginny Potter's daughter but, she was still his baby sister and nobody messed with his baby sister!
" Why you little….."
"That has gone on quiet long enough!" Dumbledore stated in an overpowering voice which caused everyone to halt whatever actions they were previously doing. " I believe a touch of veritisirum is in order!"
"But professor…they are just children" Lily protested, she mentally berated herself for being so soft. Damn these womanly hormones.
" Fine whatever, but I want to go home after this stupid setup is over" James said as he, Al, and Lily all drank the potion.
" James, Lily I would like to question them in private if you don't mind" Dumbledore whispered. Nodding they left, James glaring as he did.
" Alright first question what are your names, you can answer by your age from oldest to youngest" Dumbledore informed them, it would be much easier that way. He already had a headache, he didn't need a migraine.
" My name is James Sirius Potter"
" I am Albus Severus Potter"
" And I am Lily Luna Potter"
Shocked by his findings, only one reasonable explanation was left. " What year is it?"
"2021" they answered in unison.
" Merlin's beard!" Dumbledore said as he waited for the effects of the truth potion to wear off completely. Could this really be true, were these children from the future. That wasn't very likely but, veritisirum never lied. That, after all was the sole purpose for the potion.
(Flashback Ends)
After ' Albus Dumbledore'-a man whom she believed had died-finished explaining to them where they were and that the couple in the other room where in fact their grandparents, she was speechless. Of course he said to keep this fact a secret so that James and Lily would allow them to live with them until he was able to fix the time-turner. The older James had complained and protested that she and her brothers were death eaters and 'were not to be trusted'. However, the headmaster merely ignored James and used his wife's overprotective nature to his advantage.
Apparently their cover story was that her brother had overheard the adult's previous conversation and decided to prank the elders by using the same names. They had all chosen new names right there on the spot!
James was now John Summers, Al's was Alphonse Summers and she was Luna Summers. They had wanted their new and old names to be as close as possible, in the case of a mess up. The fact that they were finally meeting their grandparents was not as spectacular as she had anticipated.
She just wanted to go back home. She missed her mom's hugs, her dad's corny jokes, her mom's famous threatening glare which could freeze any Potter or Weasley in an instant but, what she missed the most were the soft smiles she would receive from her father whenever he would tuck her into bed on the holidays she was away from Hogwarts.
What if something bad happened, that evil wizard that was defeated by her father was still out there, death was practically staring them right in the face.
"Hey Lils you okay?" James questioned as he noticed her blank stare and her complexion: pale and as white as snow.
She was so close to crying it was pitiful. But needed to be strong " Yeah, I'm fine" She whispered.
'For now'
A/N: Again sorry for the delay, but I had loads of things to do, anyway as you can see Lily and James did not find out about the whole grandchildren thing. But don't worry they will! Now I hope you all review so that I can start working on my next chapter! Have a great weekend, toodles!
