A/N: I am so sorry! I haven't updated in so long. I was too worried about passing English and stuff to update. I graduated High School! Yay! I'm now in college and have some time to update. I hope to be able to update more. Anyways, on with the story.

Power of the Mage: Blast to the Past

Harry, Meet your Sister

" Is everything ready?" Remus asked

"Everything is ready Moony." Sirius replied.

"Are you sure it will work, grandfather?" Asked Lily, who was standing beside Sirius.

"Lily, don't worry. It will work." Albus consoled her. "Everyone in position."

Albus and Lily, who was holding Harry, went to stand in the centre of the room. Sirius and Remus stood in front of them. Lily placed Harry on the floor and told him to hold on tightly to her leg. They all then held hands and started to chant.

"Powers that be; open the portal, break the spell. Let the prophecy commence!" After the third time they chanted it, they started to glow. Soon the light became so bright that everyone had to close their eyes. When the light died down, they were gone.

Merlin, Irrisa, and the founders were practising magic in the great hall when a blinding light filled the hall. They closed their eyes from the light and when they opened them there were five people on the floor, in the middle of the room. Merlin and the founders noticed that they were all unconscious.

"Well, since they're unconscious, we should bring them to the infirmary."

"You're right, Salazar." Merlin levitated the group of people out of the room with Helga right behind.

"Well, they've got this covered. Lets get back to work." Godric turned back to Irrisa, but she wasn't paying attention.

could it be?

"Irrisa?" Rowena asked.

Irrisa turned to Rowena. "She's familiar. I think I know who she is."

"You think? Who do you think she is?" Rowena questioned further.

"I caught a glimpse of the woman before Merlin and Helga brought them to the infirmary. Didn't you notice the resemblance to me? I think she's my mother."

Rowena, Godric, and Salazar gasped. Yes, THE Salazar Slytherin gasped. "She's right. There is a resemblance," commented Salazar after regaining his composure.

"We have to talk to Merlin about this." Suggested Godric.

They quickly made their way to the infirmary. They entered to see Helga checking to see if the mystery guests were hurt.

Merlin turned as Rowena, Godric, Salazar, and Irrisa entered. "Why did you guys come here? Shouldn't you be training?" He asked.

"Irrisa thinks that the woman is her mother." Salazar explained, bluntly.

Merlin's eyebrows raised. "How does she come to think that?"

"For some reason when I first saw her, I saw flashes of images in my mind. Images of that woman. The last image I remember was that woman chanting, 'Powers that be, lend me the strength to protect my daughter.' What convinced me was the similarity between us. I look like I could be her twin; just younger."

Silence. Suddenly a groan came from the man with the sandy-brown hair. When he came to and saw who was in front of him, his eyes widened and his mouth gaped like a fish.

"You…can't be…how…Merlin…impossible…Founders…what?" A jumble of words came out of his mouth.

Merlin held up his hand. "Sir, please calm down. You just went through an ordeal. Now, could you tell us who you, and your companions, are and what is your purpose here?"

After Remus got over his shock he turned to Merlin, "Your Merlin aren't you?"

"Indeed, I am. Who might you be?"

"Oh! I'm sorry, I'm Remus Lupin, that's…"

"Your Remus!?!" Irrisa blurted out, looking at Remus with hesitation.

Remus turned to look at her. When he saw her his eyes widened again. "Irrisa?...Is that you?"

She nodded. "Your one of the people from my letter."

Remus smiled. "I am. Oh! We should wake everyone else up. They'll want to meet you."

"Let me." Merlin raised his staff and tapped it on the floor once and everyone woke up instantly.

Lily immediately opened her eyes and looked for Harry. She sighed when she saw that Harry was beside her. Albus Dumbledore immediately noticed the six other people in the room.

"We are terribly sorry if we interrupted anything."

Merlin waved him off. "No problem."

"I am Albus Dumbledore."

"Albus…"

"What is it Remus?"

"Do you realise your talking to THE Merlin?" Remus asked.

When Albus turned back to look at Merlin his eyes were wide with shock. Suddenly they heard giggling coming form the left. They looked over to see Irrisa giggling at Merlin.

"No matter what timeline their from you always get the same reaction, Uncle Merl." Irrisa giggled.

Merlin just sighed. "It seems so."

Helga, Rowena, Salazar, and Godric just smirked.

They then heard a gasp come form the female guest. Lily was looking at Irrisa with watery eyes. "Irrisa…is…is that you?" She asked with hope lacing her voice.

Irrisa hesitantly approached Lily. "Are you Lily Potter?" she answered Lily's question with a question of her own. Lily could only nod. "Pleased to meet you…mom."

Lily burst into tears and grabbed Irrisa into a hug. At first Irrisa tensed up but soon relaxed in her mother's arms. "Mom." Irrisa then started to hug her mom back just as hard. After a couple of minutes Lily finally released Irrisa.

"Irrisa, I am so sorry. I…"

Irrisa cut her off. "I understand. There is one thing I wonder about though. In the letter that was sent to me Sirius wrote something about having to prove myself when I get back."

Lily turned around and glared at Sirius. "He did, did he?" Sirius tried to sink deeper into the bed he was one when Lily suddenly thought of something.

"How can you speak like this? You're only four yet you speak as if your twenty."

"That would be our fault." Rowena joined the conversation.

"It is not your fault Lady Rav…Rowena." Irrisa protested. Irrisa turned back to her mom. "I love to read and I understand concepts and stuff so easily that I picked up the vocabulary quicker."

Sirius burst out laughing. "She got your smarts as well as your looks, eh Tiger."

"Stop calling me Tiger, Sirius."

"Why should I?"

Soon Lily and Sirius were throwing insults back and forth before Albus split them up. "This is not the time or place to be arguing. There are two kids here."

"Hey!" Irrisa protested.

"Like it or not Irrisa, your only four, still a kid." Salazar said.

Irrisa started to pout to the amusement of everyone.

"Momma." A little voice called out.

"Oh! Irrisa, I have someone I would like you to meet." Lily went and picked up Harry and placed him in front of Irrisa. "Irrisa, meet your brother Harry."

"I have a brother?"

Lily nodeded.

"COOL!" Irrisa grinned. The founders and Merlin laughed.

Godric explained, "Every since she was twu and a half she has always wanted a sibling."

Irrisa beamed at her brother. "Hi Harry. I'm Irrisa, your sister."

"Really?" He asked. Irrisa nodded.

"Yay!" Harry hugged Irrisa.

Lily started to cry in happiness.

Remus suddenly remembered something. "Oh! Sorry to be so rude. We haven't introduced ourselves yet. I'm Remus Lupin as I said before. The man with the big grin beside me is Sirius Black, the man with the beard and the twinkling blue eyes is Albus Dumbledore."

"I'm Lily Evans…"

"I thought your last name was Potter?" The founders asked, confused.

"I divorced James Potter after her tried to kill Irrisa. I then changed my last name back to my maiden name."

"Oh."

"Anyways, this little boy is Harry. I found out I was pregnant after I sent Irrisa away and divorced James."

Merlin decided to make the introductions. "I, as you know, am Merlin. The woman with the light brown curls and brown eyes is Helga Hufflepuff. The one with the blonde hair and grey…"

"Bluish-grey!" Rowena cut in.

"Excuse me, bluish-grey eyes is Rowena Ravenclaw. The man with thw chesnut brown hair and blue eyes is Godric Griffindor and lastly the one with the black hair and green eyes is Salazar Slytherin."

All four founders nodded to the time travellers.

"Albus spoke for them. "It is a pleasure to meet the founders of Hogwarts and Merlin himself."

"Forgive me, but I have to wonder, besides reuniting Irrisa and Harry, why are you here?" Salazar asked the travellers.

Albus sighed. "There is a prophecy that concerns both Irrisa, Harry, and you."

"Us?"

"Well, not specifically. I'll tell you the prophecy. 'The ones with the power to vanquish the dark lord approaches…born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies…and the dark lord will mark them as his equals, but they will have the power the dark lord knows not…and either must die at the hands of the other for neither can live while the other survives…the one with the power to vanquish the dark lord will be born as the seventh month dies…'"

"That is only the first half." Remus commented, gravely.

Albus continued, "'He shall come after the first has already left to learn ancient magic once lost. The second shall follow the first several years after. The first shall already have started her lessons when he arrives and joins her. The second shall help the first as the first is destined to defeat the dark that approaches her home in the future. The dark shall fall, though the first will not come out unscathed. The light shall reign again.'"

Silence fell as Albus finished the prophecy.

Salazar's brow furrowed. "I believe we need to sit down and ponder it all."

"Salazar is correct. Would you all care to join us in the great hall for lunch?"

"We would love to." Lily, on behalf of all of them, accepted their invitation.

Merlin led the way to the great hall. Once they were all seated they began to discuss the prophecy.

"What have you figured out so far?" Rowena, ever the bookworm, asked.

"We figured out that it concerns both Harry and Irrisa." Albus said, deciding to be the one to explain everything.

"How did you find that out?" Helga asked.

Remus answered this part. "Both Lily and her ex-husband James defied one man who we believe has turned into the dark lord of the prophecy. Also, both Harry and Irrisa were born on July 31st; the end of the seventh month."

"I see your logic so far but what about 'marking them as his equal'?" Godric asked.

"That's the part we haven't figured out yet." Sirius commented.

Salazar decided to ask a question this time, "Ok, what about the second part?"

"The first is Irrisa, she was sent away and indecently will be learning your magic which in our time is considered as "ancient magic" that was lost years ago. The second then, has to be Harry. It has been several years and now Harry is also back here. The rest is self-explanatory." Dumbledore finished.

All the founders thought about what they had been told.

Salazar then spoke, "This means that the boy, Harry was it?, will have to stay here and learn magic as well."

Lily's eyes widened in understanding. "You can't expect me to give up my children! Especially not now that I finally have them together again!" Lily was starting to shake.

"Don't worry Ms. Po-Evans. Now that you have broken the sixteen year seal on the time travel portal you can come to visit anytime." Godric reasoned.

"He's right Lily." Sirius added, "you can always visit."

Lily sighed. She turned to look at Harry. "Harry, I have something important to ask you."

"Yes mommy?"

"Would you like to stay here with your sister?"

"You mean we can stay here!" Harry asked, excitedly.

Lily's eyes were now covered by her hair.

"What's wrong mommy?" Harry asked.

"Harry, if you stay here mommy can't stay with you. I have to go back home."

Harry became sad. "So if I stay you have to leave?" Lily nodded. "Would you be able to visit?"

"Yes but I wouldn't be able to stay long."

Harry thought for a couple of minutes before he decided. "I want to stay with Irrisa but only if you visit whenever you can."

"Please mom." Irrisa pleaded, though she hesitated before she said mom.

Lily started to cry but not because Harry wanted to stay but because Irrisa called her mom.

Lily grabbed Irrisa into another hug. "Oh Irrisa! Please don't hesitate to call me mom. It means a lot to me that you call me that already, even after all I did. Harry, of course you can stay. Irrisa, please look after your brother, he's younger than you."

Harry cheered then joined in the hug. Lily just cried harder, hugging her two children close.

Albus then put Lily's fears, that she hadn't voiced, to rest. "Remus, Sirius, as members of the Order of the Phoenix I have a task for you. Your task is to protect the chosen two from the prophecy. Do you accept this task?"

Remus and Sirius were shocked for a few seconds before they looked at each other, grinned, then answered in unison.

"We accept."

"Wonderful. I leave Irrisa and Harry in yours, Merlin's, and the Founder's care." Albus' eyes were twinkling now.

Lily sighed in relief before she thought of something and groaned loudly.

"What's wrong Lily?" Albus asked.

"You had to assign this mission to Sirius, didn't you?"

"Hey! What's wrong with me?"

"You're going to corrupt my children!"

"Corrupt them? How so?" Merlin asked, intrigued.

"Sirius is a prankster. He was part of a group of pranksters that caused mayhem in school."

"Hey! Remus was part of the group too."

"Yes, but I trust Remus not to corrupt my children."

"I'm shocked you have no faith in me." Sirius pouted.

"I've made my point." Said Lily looking pointedly at Sirius who was pouting.

Merlin chuckled. "It's a little too late for Sirius to corrupt Irrisa."

"Call me Lily please and what do you mean?"

Salazar shook his head and decided he would be the one that broke it to Lily. "Irrisa is already a prankster at heart."

Sirius broke out in a huge grin. "See? I don't have to corrupt her!"

Lily just groaned louder. Everyone laughed.

"Now Lily, when we return we have to keep that Harry and Irrisa are the chosen ones a secret."

"Of course."

"We better return soon. We don't want to be missed."

"I have two things I would like to ask you, Lily, before you go. Prior to you arriving here Helga, Rowena, Godric, and Salazar accepted Irrisa on as their apprentice. Now that you are here I would like to formally ask you for your permission to allow Irrisa to be their apprentice. I would also like to extend this invitation to Harry as well in light of recent events."

Lily was gob-smacked.

Merlin continued. "The second thing is that we, as in myself and the Founders, as you call them, we think that Irrisa may be a mage. I would like your permission to test her and see. This is also extended to Harry. If either, or both, of them have the potential to become a mage I would like to ask your permission to take them on as my apprentices."

If Lily was gob-smacked before she was nothing compared to now. "It is an honour for you to take my daughter and son on as apprentices. You have my permission to test both Harry and Irrisa and if either of them have the potential to be a mage they may, of course, be allowed to become your apprentice."

"Thank you. Would you like me to test them now? Or wait until another time?"

"Now please so that they can get as much training in as possible."

"Follow me please."

Merlin gestured for everyone to follow him out of the great hall. Merlin then led them to a chamber that, in Albus' time, was lost.

"This is the rituals room. Now Harry, please come and stand in front of me."

Harry turned to get confirmation from his mother. After she nodded her head he went and stood in front of Merlin. Merlin then placed two fingers onto Harry's forehead and started to chant something under his breath. After several minutes Harry started to glow a pale blue colour. Merlin then removed his fingers from Harry's forehead.

"I'm sorry but you do not have the ability to become a mage, however you are a sorcerer. That is the third most powerful type of witch/wizard. The second is an Elemental who will glow white and the First is, of course, a mage. If you train hard you could become an elemental. I'm looking forward to see how things go."

Harry then went to stand beside his mother while Irrisa walked to stand in front of Merlin. Merlin again placed two fingers on Irrisa's forehead and started to chant under his breath. After a few minutes she started to glow a brilliant gold. Merlin smiled as he removed his fingers from Irrisa's forehead.

"What does that mean?" Irrisa asked Merlin.

"It means," Merlin smiled. "that you do indeed have the power to become a mage." Everyone's eyes widened.

"So I can be your apprentice?" Irrisa asked Merlin, hopeful.

Merlin nodded. "COOL!"

Albus cut in, "This is indeed wonderful but myself and Lily must be returning home. First though, we must swear an oath not to reveal what we have learned to day to anyone."

Lily, Remus, and Sirius all spoke at the same time. "I Lily Evans, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin do swear on our magic not to tell anyone what has been revealed today."

"I Albus Dumbledore do swear on my magic not to tell anyone what has been revealed today."

"So mote it be." Merlin finished the oath.

"We must go now. Lily, say goodbye."

Lily said goodbye to Remus and Sirius, telling them to take care of her children. She then thanked the founders and Merlin for looking after Irrisa for 4 years. She then went and hugged Harry and Irrisa telling them to be good and that she would visit as soon as she could. She then went to stand beside her grandfather.

"Oh, one more thing. This is a communication ball." He held up a small glass ball. "This will allow us to communicate across time. I have one as well. I will be checking in a couple of days at an Order meeting so please make sure to answer it away from anyone so the Order can't figure out where you are and who the chosen ones are. You can use it to call us anytime."

He handed the glass ball to Remus and called open the portal. Just as the portal was closing she suddenly said "Oh no. I forgot to tell Sirius that even though Irrisa is already a prankster not to corrupt Harry."

Everyone in the founders time was laughing as the portal closed.

A/N: Yay! Finally done. I am starting on chapter six. I hope to have it up as soon as possible. Please review!
