To Fix The Past
Warnings: There may be cursing, oocness, and if you haven't read any of the books there are spoilers…obviously. And seriously…if you haven't…where the hell have you been? There is also going to be bashing of certain characters…but not for a while yet. Oh, and an OC. Please don't kill me, she won't be terribly bad, she is fun loving Harry Potter, Twilight obsessed girl!
Lily-Flower, would you?
Lily-Flower: LoopyLooneyCharny does not own anything to do with Harry Potter; it all belongs to the lady that lives in England, most commonly called J.K Rowling.
She would also like to thank Snuggalette for providing her with the chapter that comes from the Harry Potter books.
Hmmm, I think it is just about time for that little spell to be renewed on my little snakes. Can't have anyone knowing what they are really like, now can I?
Lily was currently fretting about the shaking of the hut that her little boy was in.
Just as James was about to get up and comfort her, there was a small puff of smoke. Everyone looked over to where it had come from, and instead of Sirius sitting there; there was a grim-like dog, dressed in what seemed to be an Easter bunny suit, with a basket of chocolate eggs next to him.
Everyone burst into confused laughter, except Fred, George and Harry – they all high-fived. When everyone saw this, they looked at them questionably, whilst holing in laughter.
Fred decided to explain.
'We used a prank that we started inventing in Harry's fifth year that no one knew about; Harry was the one who came up with it. It turns the person who eats it into their innermost animal, and then dresses them as their most despised thing. Obviously Padfoot's is the Easter Bunny.' He managed to get out before all three burst into laughter, soon followed by everyone except for Sirius, who was growling at them, hackles raised.
Harry calmed down enough and went over to Sirius and gave him a big hug.
'Sorry Padfoot, but we needed a tension breaker, and you just happened to be running around with your mouth open, it will ware off soon' Sirius gave him the doggy equivalent of an evil grin, and licked his face, before bouncing off towards Fred and George, tackling them to the ground and licking both their faces.
After some more laughter, Severus managed to calm down enough to suggest they keep reading.
''So…who wants to read next?' Fate asked, looking around at everyone in the room.
'I will.' Lily volunteered. After a quick wave of her wand, everything was back to normal. Everyone trudged over to seats at the table, once Harry sat down, people started to situate themselves around him, making him blush.
As it was a round table, the order went like this, starting at Harry and gong to the right… Harry, Lily, James, Remus, Sirius (who had turned back), Regulus, Sev, Lucius, Nacrissa, Frank, Alice, Peter, Fate, Ginny, Ron, Fred, George, Tonks, Severus, Draco and Hermione.
Lily gave her son a hug, and glanced at James with an unreadable expression in her eyes, before clearing her throat and starting on the next chapter.
'The Keeper of Keys'
Harry and Hermione exchanged a glance, and had to hide giant grins when they remembered all of their adventures that included Hagrid.
'Isn't that Hagrid?' Sev asked curiously.
'Yes' Severus sneered.
'Oh come on Severus, Hagrid isn't that bad.' Harry said with a grin.
Severus just glared at him, but that didn't stop Harry from grinning like fool.
Hermione leaned over and whispered to Harry,
'Compared to what we have been through he isn't.'
They snickered at that. When most of the room glared at them, they smiled sheepishly and Lily continued.
Boom.
The pranksters in the room had disappointed expressions on their faces when Lily read that normally, the rest of the room just rolled their eyes at them.
They knocked again. Dudley jerked awake.
"Where's the cannon?" he said stupidly.
'The what?' Lucius asked.
'It's a muggle weapon that shoots out a cannon ball, which is a really heavy metal ball, and when it hits something it causes massive damage, sometimes explosions.' Hermione explained.
The purebloods shared a look, seemingly realizing that Muggles are a lot more capable than they originally thought.
There was a crash behind them and Uncle Vernon came skidding into the room.
'That explains the crash.' Nacrissa said
He was holding a rifle
'A what?' Regulus asked with a confused expression.
'It's a type of gun, which is a lot like a cannon, but a lot smaller, and not as destructive – but still very deadly.' Harry explained in his D.A voice.
The purebloods in the room shared a very uneasy glance at this.
in his hands — now they knew what had been in the long, thin package he had brought with them.
"Who's there?" he shouted. "I warn you — I'm armed!"
'And legged.' Sirius added.
'And….' James was about to continue but Lily cut him off…
'OH, shut up, it is an expression used to say that they have a weapon.' She rolled her eyes, wishing that at least one of them had payed attention in Muggle Studies.
There was a pause. Then —
SMASH!
The majority of the room jumped, because Lily yelled the word, just as a little payback at the Marauders. Unfortunately, the Marauders – except Peter were some of the few who didn't jump, and those that did jump shot her very nasty glares.
The door was hit with such force that it swung clean off its hinges and with a deafening crash landed flat on the floor. A giant of a man was standing in the doorway.
'How giant?' Sev asked curiously.
'Think Hagrid giant.' Harry responded with a smirk.
Hermione looked at him, and they shared a mischievous look, which luckily no one saw.
His face was almost completely hidden by a long, shaggy mane of hair and a wild, tangled beard, but you could make out his eyes, glinting like black beetles under all the hair.
'You know, that description sounds oddly familiar.' Peter commented.
Fate rolled her eyes at the slowness of most of the room's brains.
'The chapter is called the Keeper of Keys. Ring any bells?' She asked sarcastically.
There was a dawning look of comprehension on everyone's faces, except Peter.
'No.' he replied, causing the rest of the room to groan at his idiocy.
'I really need Time here' Fate thought with a pout.
No sooner had she thought it, Time had appeared in a seat right beside her, causing many of the room to look at here strangely, because they hadn't seen her.
Time just shrugged and replied in a careless voice.
'I'm Time, I can stop it.'
The room looked at her for a moment before going back to the book.
The giant squeezed his way into the hut, stooping so that his head just brushed the ceiling. He bent down, picked up the door, and fitted it easily back into its frame. The noise of the storm outside dropped a little. He turned to look at them all.
"Couldn't make us a cup o' tea, could yeh? It's not been an easy journey. . . ."
Many in the room snorted at that.
'Good ol' Hagrid.' Harry said fondly.
'That's HAGRID?' Peter gasped.
'Duh.' Fred and George rolled their eyes in unison.
He strode over to the sofa where Dudley sat frozen with fear. "Budge up, yeh great lump," said the stranger.
The room started to laugh at Hagrid's accurate description of Dudley.
Dudley squeaked and ran to hide behind his mother, who was crouching, terrified, behind Uncle Vernon.
'Vernon may be able to hide Petunia, but there is no way that they would be able to hide Dudley.' James said to the room at large.
"An' here's Harry!" said the giant.
'Why do you keep referring to Hagrid as a giant Harry?' Draco asked him.
'No idea, maybe because he's so big.' Harry replied sarcastically.
Harry looked up into the fierce, wild, shadowy face and saw that the beetle eyes were crinkled in a smile.
'That's the second time this chapter that Hagrid's eyes have been referred to as beetles. Do you think there is going to be something connected to that later on?' Remus asked ½ sarcastically, ½ curiously.
Hermione, Ron and Harry all share a significant look, wondering if that was true.
"Las' time I saw you, you was only a baby," said the giant. "Yeh look a lot like yer dad, but yeh've got yer mom's eyes."
'That was the first of many times I have heard that statement.' Harry said idly.
The room turned to look at him and for the first time since they started reading they realized how much like James and Lily he looked.
'You know…'Alice started thoughtfully,
'He doesn't only have Lily's eyes.'
'Your right Al,' Frank agreed
'He got Lily's button nose, instead of James' snoz, and he also got her elvin looks, makes him look very, well…' Frank trailed off, not looking into Harry's eyes.
'Attractive?' Alice asked him with a grin
'Yeah,' Frank mumbled, 'and slightly feminine'
Harry blushed bright red at this, and James glared at Frank for even thinking that about his son.
Uncle Vernon made a funny rasping noise.
"I demand that you leave at once, sir!" he said. "You are breaking and entering!"
'Because that is really going to work.' Ginny said with a roll of her eyes.
"Ah, shut up, Dursley, yeh great prune," said the giant; he reached over the back of the sofa, jerked the gun out of Uncle Vernon's hands, bent it into a knot as easily as if it had been made of rubber, and threw it into a corner of the room.
'GOOOO HAGRID, WOOT WOOT!' James and Sirius chanted along with Fred and George.
Uncle Vernon made another funny noise, like a mouse being trodden on.
'Very interesting mind your son has Potter' Lucius commented, casually.
'Um, hello. Right here you know?' Harry said waving his hand up and down.
'I know, but I would appreciate it if you don't take the micky out of my son's imagination.' James continued in the formal, pureblood speech, he was taught.
'Right here.' Harry was now jumping up and down, trying to get their attention. The others in the room were sniggering quietly.
'Oh, I did not mean to 'take the micky' as you put it, out of your son's imagination, I was merely commenting on the uniqueness of it.' Lucius continued, with a politely baffled look on his face.
'That's all right then.' James stated before turning back to Lily, when he 'finally' noticed Harry jumping up and down.
'Harry, what are you doing?' James asked looking appropriately puzzled.
Harry sat down with a huff and a pout, turning away from his father.
'Nothin'' he mumbled.
'Okay then. Lily-Flower, if you would?' James requested.
Lily took a moment to catch her breath, before stating to read again.
"Anyway — Harry," said the giant, turning his back on the Dursleys, "a very happy birthday to yeh. Got summat fer yeh here — I mighta sat on it at some point, but it'll taste all right."
'How could something he sat on be any good?" Sirius questioned with a wide-eyed look
'It'd be all squashed.' He continued.
'Well, if it's in a box, it would taste just the same, I wouldn't go eating it if his coat had touched it.' Tonks said with a wrinkled nose.
From an inside pocket of his black overcoat he pulled a slightly squashed box.
'It'll be fine then.' Tonks said brightly.
Harry opened it with trembling fingers. Inside was a large, sticky chocolate cake with Happy Birthday Harry written on it in green icing.
'Why green?' Sirius moaned.
'Because it is a good color.' James and Harry said firmly.
Sirius just looked at them, his face showing disbelief, but there was an unreadable look in his eyes at the same time. Harry and Regulus were the only two who noticed, and were both wondering what Sirius was hiding.
Harry looked up at the giant. He meant to say thank you, but the words got lost on the way to his mouth, and what he said instead was, "Who are you?"
'Hadrian James Potter!' Lily screeched. 'Don't forget your manners.'
'Hadrian?' James looked at her, bemused.
'Yes, I wouldn't call my son just Harry. It's alright for friends and stuff, but it's too informal when it comes down to it. But, I would never use Harold or Harrison. I have always liked the name Hadrian though.' Lily brought up a good point, and James nodded in agreement.
'So my name is Hadrian?' Harry questioned.
'Yes' it was Fate and Time who answered that.
'Mission Distraction was successful, I repeat Mission Distraction was successful' Harry whispered to Hermione and Draco who both had a hard time controlling their laughter.
The giant chuckled.
"True, I haven't introduced meself. Rubeus Hagrid, Keeper of Keys and Grounds at Hogwarts."
He held out an enormous hand and shook Harry's whole arm.
'Ah yes. The dreaded arm shake.' Remus said knowledgeably.
"What about that tea then, eh?" he said, rubbing his hands together.
"I'd not say no ter summat stronger if yeh've got it, mind."
'Oh no you don't Hagrid!' Lily yelled. The other females, except Tonks were all appalled at the idea of Hagrid drinking in front of an eleven year-old, but the guys, excluding Severus, had jubilant looks on their faces. Severus was neutral.
His eyes fell on the empty grate with the shriveled chip bags in it and he snorted. He bent down over the fireplace; they couldn't see what he was doing but when he drew back a second later, there was a roaring fire there.
'I thought Hagrid wasn't allowed to do magic?' Nacrissa questioned.
'He isn't.' Lily answered as Hermione, Ron and Harry grinned.
Ginny tried to join in, but it still seemed as if she was being left out of the group. She had a hard time controlling her facial color, as she started ranting inside her head.
It filled the whole damp hut with flickering light and Harry felt the warmth wash over him as though he'd sunk into a hot bath.
'That is lovely, isn't it?' Tonks said with a sigh. Many nodded along with her, but Peter just scrunched up his nose.
'I hate baths, and showers and any form of nice smelling thing.' He said with disgust.
'I haven't had a shower for three days!' He said in a pride filled voice. Everyone else in the room scrunched up their noses, and moved away from him. Hermione shot a spell at him that scrubbed him with soap, and as a bit of revenge, it smelt like lavender.
Peter screeched when the soap hit his skin, and tried to cancel the spell, but all his wand did was shoot a few feeble sparks.
The giant sat back down on the sofa, which sagged under his weight,
'Well duh,' Sirius stated, 'look at his size' he added. The others in the room just ignored him, annoyed at his stating the obvious.
and began taking all sorts of things out of the pockets of his coat:
'How many pockets does his coat have?' Regulus asked curiously.
'687.' Fred, George and Harry replied in unison.
'How in the hell do you now that?' Draco asked incredulously.
'We asked him of course.' Fred and George said to him, when everyone looked at Harry, he blushed and replied,
'I counted them.' When everyone continued to stare he blushed further and said,
'I was curious and Hagrid was passed out, so I counted.'
'When exactly was this?' Severus drawled curiously.
'Umm, the night Hagrid came to get me. I couldn't sleep, so I counted.'
Severus snorted and looked back at his childhood crush, waiting for her to continue.
After a few more minutes, Lily blinked a couple of times and started to read again.
a copper kettle, a squashy package of sausages, a poker, a teapot, several chipped mugs, and a bottle of some amber liquid that he took a swig from before starting to make tea.
A few of the girls in the room started to mutter under their breaths about drinking in front of children, whilst the boys muttered about wanting the amber liquid. Harry and Hermione though, they shared a glance and burst out laughing. The others stopped muttering and glanced at them.
'H-his pockets are Mary Poppins copycats.' Hermione gasped out in between breaths. This caused Lily and Fate to start laughing as well, even Time's lips twitched.
'What is Mary Poppins?' Lucius asked curiously. Fate managed to calm down enough to explain Mary Poppins to them, but none of the others started to laugh, causing those who were laughing to pout at them, muttering about wizarding families having no sense of humor, causing the three Murderers that matter ~he he~ to huff and pout at them.
Getting a grip on her suddenly twitching lips, that so wanted to smile in affection at the cute looking James Potter, Lily continued reading.
Soon the hut was full of the sound and smell of sizzling sausage.
Sirius started to drool, and Remus smacked him on the head.
'Ow, Moony, what was that for?' he whined.
'For thinking with your stomach.' Remus replied idly.
'But I'm huuuungry.' Sirius pouted.
'You're always hungry.' James, Remus, Regulus and Nacrissa all replied tiredly
'Fate, have you not fed them?' Time asked her softly.
Fate's eyes widened and she smiled sheepishly.
'Ummm, oops.' She offered. Time just shook her head in exasperation, before informing the room that they would eat at the end of the chapter.
Nobody said a thing while the giant was working, but as he slid the first six fat, juicy, slightly burnt sausages from the poker, Dudley fidgeted a little.
Uncle Vernon said sharply, "Don't touch anything he gives you, Dudley."
'Not like he needs fattening up.' Sev muttered darkly
The giant chuckled darkly.
"Yer great puddin' of a son don' need fattenin' anymore, Dursley, don' worry."
Sev's eyes widened as Harry grinned.
'Sev, you are like Hagrid! Go you! I told you, didn't I Severus?' Harry turned his bright grin to the older Severus Snape.
Severus glared at him, but Harry ignored him and turned to Hermione.
'I believe you owe me a kitkat.' He informed her. Hermione just rolled her eyes and told him that she would give him one when they got back from wherever they were.
He passed the sausages to Harry, who was so hungry he had never tasted anything so wonderful,
'From Hagrid's cooking?' James asked with wide eyes.
'Hey! I was starving, or did you miss that bit.' Harry asked him igdantly.
but he still couldn't take his eyes off the giant.
'I didn't know you swung that way Potter.' Draco informed him with a raised eyebrow.
Ron and Ginny both scrunched up their noses, squealing 'ewwww', whilst Harry just raised an eyebrow and without missing a beat, replied,
'With Hagrid? Oh no, he's much to interested in Madam Maxine, and not my type.'
The others in the room felt their lips twitch as Draco and Harry had their conversation.
'And what is your type?' Hermione asked with an amused smile and a light blush.
'Brunettes and platinum blondes, of course.' Harry told her in a superior way.
Draco, Hermione, Lucius, Remus, Frank, Sirius and Regulus all blushed lightly, causing the others to snicker, and the two redheads to fume.
Finally, as nobody seemed about to explain anything, he said, "I'm sorry, but I still don't really know who you are."
'He's Hagrid' Peter state proudly causing the rest of the room to roll their eyes.
The giant took a gulp of tea and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.
"Call me Hagrid," he said, "everyone does. An' like I told yeh, I'm Keeper of Keys at Hogwarts — yeh'll know all about Hogwarts, o' course."
'He better' James snarled.
"Er — no," said Harry.
The room looked shocked.
Hagrid looked shocked.
'He's not the only one.' Fate said, looking at the room in amusement. The only ones who didn't look shocked were Harry, Hermione and Ron, for they were the only ones who knew that Harry knew nothing of Hogwarts before Hagrid turned up to get him. Even the elder Severus had a shocked look on his face.
Abruptly, Severus growled, muttering about killing the Dursleys for all they did to the little imp he had grown fond of.
"Sorry," Harry said quickly.
'Why on earth did you apologize?' Hermione asked Harry.
'You didn't do anything' she continued.
Harry shrugged, thinking that it was because of how the Dursleys raised him.
Regulus picked up on his line of thinking and started muttering under his breath about stupid muggles, who don't deserve to live, and that it is muggles like them that creates people like Voldemort.
Time looked at the room, and thought about what was read, and unnoticed by everyone – even Fate, a mischievous spark it up in her eyes, and she started communicating with the higher ups, working her magic.
"Sorry?" barked Hagrid, turning to stare at the Dursleys, who shrank back into the shadows. "It's them as should be sorry!
'Exactly' Hermione cried, triumphantly.
I knew yeh weren't gettin' yer letters but I never thought yeh wouldn't even
know abou' Hogwarts, fer cryin' out loud! Did yeh never wonder where yer parents learned it all?"
'Good question.' Lucius muttered.
'If I didn't know about Hogwarts, do you really think I would know about magic?'
'You better have known.' Sirius stated thinking of ways to use the dark curses of his family against the Dursleys.
"All what?" asked Harry.
'ALL WHAT?' the room thundered, wanting nothing more than to curse the Dursleys into oblivion.
"ALL WHAT?" Hagrid thundered. "Now wait jus' one second!"
He had leapt to his feet. In his anger he seemed to fill the whole hut. The Dursleys were cowering against the wall.
'They better be.' Draco muttered angrily.
Harry blushed, not use to people caring for him, even after all thee years.
"Do you mean ter tell me," he growled at the Dursleys, "that this boy — this boy! — knows nothin' abou' — about ANYTHING?"
'That is going to wound his pride.' Ron said, feeling a little left out.
'Don't you know it mate.' Harry said back to him.
Ron grinned at him, but no one noticed the subtly jealous glint in his eye, except for the readers, for I just stated it…
Harry thought this was going a bit far. He had been to school, after all, and his marks weren't bad.
'I am pretty sure they would have been excellent if Harry was allowed to use his brain.' Fate muttered
'What was that?' Hermione shot at Fate.
'I just remembered a time when I observed what was happening, and I remember, well…' she trailed off when Harry shot her a pleading look. Sev noticed his look and growled at him,
'You will tell us what has you so panicked Potter.'
'Well, I am currently fretting about my son.' James replied, looking faintly confused.
'Not you, the other Potter' he snarled.
Harry shook his head, refusing to explain what had him so panicked.
'Harry, baby – please tell us what happened.' Lily pleaded with him.
'NO!' Harry shouted in panic. He got up from the table and ran over to a corner, curling in on himself.
Hermione, Lily, James, Remus, Sirius and Draco started to get up, wanting to comfort Harry. The others looked on worriedly, but Severus stopped them and went over to Harry himself.
Those at the table watched worriedly.
Severus crouched down in front of Harry, looking him in the eye, letting his mask down and showing his concern for his little imp.
Harry looked up at him, still curled up in a ball and shivering slightly.
'Harry, what's wrong little imp? You know you can talk to me about anything.'
'Scared.' Was the whispered reply he received.
'What are you scared of?' Severus asked him softly, already having a pretty good idea.
'They won't like me anymore.' Harry sniffed.
'They will always like you Harry, they are your family and friends, and they want to protect you.' Severus told him.
'Pettigrew.' Harry informed him, wanting to contradict his remark.
'He doesn't matter, and you know that.' Severus told him firmly.
'and besides, even if whatever has you worried does effect anyone, you will always have me, no matter what.'
Harry looked him in the eye, seeing the truth of his statement, grinned faintly and gave him a light hug in thanks, causing Severus to blush lightly and Harry to giggle.
They got up and walked back over to the table, where everyone was looking at Harry worriedly.
'Are you ready to tell us Harry?' Hermione questioned him softly, placing her hand on his shoulder in worry.
Harry shook his head and said something about waiting for the end of the chapter.
"I know some things," he said. "I can, you know, do math and stuff."
'I'm so proud.' Hermione muttered, wiping a tear. Harry groaned and swatted her head playfully, ignoring the snicker his father and godfathers sent his way.
Hermione was glad that she was able to get Harry out his solemn mood.
But Hagrid simply waved his hand and said, "About our world, I mean. Your world. My world. Yer parents' world."
'Since when did we own a world Lily?' James asked curiously.
'I don't know' Lily huffed, 'you're the one with money, maybe you bought it.' She muttered sarcastically, and didn't see the look of glee in James' eye. He had a brilliant idea to win Lily over fully.
"What world?"
Hagrid looked as if he was about to explode.
As did those who were in the room with Fate.
"DURSLEY!" he boomed.
Uncle Vernon, who had gone very pale, whispered something that sounded like "Mimblewimble."
'Mimblewimble?' Remus asked faintly.
'Mimblewimble.' Harry stated, remembering what he had heard that night.
Hagrid stared wildly at Harry.
"But yeh must know about yer mom and dad,"
'With the way those people are, I doubt it.' Lucius sneered.
he said. "I mean, they're famous.
'Yes! We're famous!' James yelled.
'For being killed, and being the parents of the boy-who-lived' Lily reminded him sadly, causing James to look really depressed.
You're famous."
'Unfortunately.' Harry mumbled.
"What? My — my mom and dad weren't famous, were they?"
'We weren't' Lily said, 'but now that we died, we are.' She mumbled.
"Yeh don' know . . . yeh don' know . . ." Hagrid ran his fingers through his hair,
'How in the he-' Sirius trailed off at he stern look he was receiving from the women in the room. 'heck, did he get his hands through his hair?' The boys just shrugged at his question, sniggering at his predicament with the women of the room.
fixing Harry with a bewildered stare.
"Yeh don' know what yeh are?" he said finally.
'He is not a thing!' Lily screamed, shrilly.
'Hmm, I wonder what one of those muggles in the other dimension thought of this.' Regulus mused thoughtfully. When everyone in the room stared at him, he continued on, a little defensive,
'Well, they would be reading about magic, so what would they think?'
'Good point Reg,' Sev murmured, 'wish we could ask.'
Fate and Time shared a look, quickly asked the higher-ups, not waiting for an answer and simultaneously clicked their fingers.
In a burst of white light, a teenage girl of about 5'5" appeared in the room. She had deep brown, wavy hair with blonde highlights and light blue eyes. Her mouth was curved into a simple, but pretty smile and she appeared to be talking on a phone.
'Yeah, I know. That movie was so totally awesome, and Jacob Black – yummy.' She continued talking with what those in the room assumed to be her friend, until she heard a throat being cleared. She looked rather surprised as she looked around the room, and took in everyone there. Her eyes widened at every person she saw, until she saw Fate and Time, and then they became confused.
'I'm gonna have to call you back' she said slowly, before touching the phone and putting it in the pocket of her straight legged jeans. She looked at the room once again, and let out a confused laugh.
'I'm dreaming right?' she asked, and pinched herself, rather hardly, only to flinch.
'Apparently not.' She mumbled.
'OK, what the hell is going on, and why are the Harry Potter characters here? She asked.
Fate got up and walked over to her, very slowly as if not to scare her.
'My name is Fate, and this is Time. I gather you know everyone else here.'
The girl nodded.
'My name is Amara. So, let me see if I got this right. I am in a room, filled with the characters of the fictional novel Harry Potter, and with Fate and Time, as in the goddesses.'
'Pretty much, but we are not fictional' Harry told Amara with a smile on his face.
Amara raised one of her delicate eyebrows and questioned, 'Why?'
'Well, we – being Time and I brought those from the Harry Potter world here to change what has happened, because someone just messed it right up. We are doing this by reading the series that is in your dimension, we are currently reading the chapter called the Keeper of the Keys where,'
'Hagrid comes to get Harry from the Hut on the Rock' Amara cut Fate off.
'Well yeah, and then Regulus wondered what the people in your dimension thought about all this, and Sev wanted to ask,'
'I was joking!'Sev protested.
'So, Time and I brought you here, because you're like obsessed with it.'
'Fate that is not nice!' Lily protested.
'Nah,' Amara shrugged it off.
'It's true.' She continued.
'So, how long am I here for?' Amara asked as she pulled a chair up in between Remus and Sirius, who looked at her in curiosity.
'As long as you want, we will send you back to just a few minutes after you were taken.' Time replied.
'K, then I am staying till then end of the series.'
'So…' Sirius started.
'What did you think of the whole magic thing?'
'Awesome, of course.' Amara replied simply.
'You don't seem terribly surprised that there is more than one dimension. I mean, we know, because we are magical, but…' Remus trailed off at the look in Amara's eyes.
'You did just say different dimensions, right?' Amara asked.
'Yes…'Remus replied, a little uncertain.
'I KNEW IT!' Amara cried as she jumped up.
'Lauren totally owes me 20 bucks!'
The room looked at her, and she blushed, sitting back down.
'I always thought there was more than one dimension, and that all the books that author's write are kinda like a look into that particular dimension, and I was so totally right!' Amara explained.
'As for the whole Harry Potter thing, those along with the Twilight Saga, which you wouldn't know of, are my favorite series'. Both the books and the movies.'
'Wait! We are in a movie?' Hermione cried in shock.
'Well, your characters are. And I so totally knew that Daniel Radcliffe and Tom Felton and Gary Oldman didn't do Harry, Draco and Sirius justice. In fact, none of the actors did.'
Everyone looked at her, before Fate suggested they get back to reading, and everyone agreed.
Uncle Vernon suddenly found his voice.
'Unfortunately.' Lucius sneered.
"Stop!" he commanded. "Stop right there, sir! I forbid you to tell the boy anything!"
'Because Hagrid will really listen to you.' Nacrissa said dubiously.
A braver man than Vernon Dursley
'So a three year old?' Amara questioned.
would have quailed under the furious look Hagrid now gave him; when Hagrid spoke, his every syllable trembled with rage.
"You never told him? Never told him what was in the letter Dumbledore left fer him?
'I wonder what was in that letter. I never got it.' Harry said, his voice laced with curiosity.
I was there! I saw Dumbledore leave it, Dursley! An' you've kept it from him all these years?"
"Kept what from me?" said Harry eagerly.
'Since when are you eager Harry?' Hermione asked him.
'I'm always eager, for one thing at least.' Harry said with a leer, causing many to blush and snicker.
"STOP! I FORBID YOU!"
'From what?' James asked.
'Plus- Hagrid is older than him.' Sirius added.
'That was random.' Amara commented, looking at Sirius, who blushed under her scrutiny – causing her to smirk in satisfaction.
yelled Uncle Vernon in panic.
Aunt Petunia gave a gasp of horror.
"Ah, go boil yer heads, both of yeh,"
'Now that would be pretty funny.' Amara commented with a sadistic gleam in her eye, which was mirrored by the majority of the room.
Ron glared at the clearly beautiful girl. She was taking all the attention away from him even more than Harry did. Not to mention she is clearly dark, never mind the fact that she is a muggle, from a different dimension.
Ginny glared at the girl who was clearly more beautiful than her, she was going to steal her Harry away. (A.N: Don't worry people who don't want Harry with an O.C, I don't even know if he will have a pairing, but it won't be with Amara.)
Pettigrew leered at the new girl. He was hoping that his Lord will let him have some fun with her before he kills her. He obviously forgot that she was from a different dimension.
said Hagrid. "Harry — yer a wizard."
There was silence inside the room.
There was silence inside the hut.
'That was rather blunt.' Regulus commented.
'It works though.' Amara shot right back.
Only the sea and the whistling wind could be heard.
I'm a what?" gasped Harry.
'And of course you don't believe him.' Hermione said with a roll of her eyes.
'Well I can't make it easy for him, now can I?' Harry told her with a grin.
"A wizard, o' course," said Hagrid, sitting back down on the sofa, which groaned and sank even lower, "an' a thumpin' good'un, I'd say, once yeh've been trained up a bit.
'No, I am not. I am only average. I have trouble in everything but DADA.' Harry said, pouting at the fact that Hagrid still didn't believe him, even after all these years.
'Oh, Harry' Hermione sighed.
'You are a very good wizard, you have the power, skills, brains and so much more, but you just don't use them.'
Harry glared at her for even suggesting it and turned away with a pout, making most of the room sigh, and Amara to giggle.
With a mum an' dad like yours, what else would yeh be?
'Why do I get the feeling that you are compared to us a lot?' Lily asked her son, James nodded along in agreement.
'Because I am.' Harry said with a grin, but at the same time his voice held a dejected note.
'No one ever sees him as just Harry. He is either James' son, Lily's son or The-Boy-Who-Lived.' Hermione explained to them.
'Oh my baby!' Lily cried as she flung her arms around him.
Harry blushed as he feebly tried to push her off of him, but was secretly pleased at the loved he was being shown from his parents.
An' I reckon it's abou' time yeh read yer letter."
'YES!' the majority of the room chorused.
Harry stretched out his hand at last to take the yellowish envelope, addressed in emerald green
Sirius didn't even bother to comment anymore, he just groaned with the same unreadable look in his eyes.
to Mr. H. Potter, The Floor, Hut-on- the-Rock, The Sea. He pulled out the letter and read:
HOGWARTS SCHOOL
of WITCHCRAFT and WIZARDRY
Dear Mr. Potter,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment.
Term begins on September 1. We await your owl by no later than July 31.
Yours sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall,
Deputy Headmistress
'Oh my god! That was the exactly them same as mine!' James exclaimed excitedly.
'Duh!' Amara said with a roll of her eyes.
'Yeah James, you are both Mr. Potter, and the only thins that change on those things are the deputy headmistresses name and the name of the student. They are programmed in, has been like that for hundreds of years.' Remus explained, trying vainly to ignore the confused looks of the majority of the room.
'Honestly,' Hermione said with a roll of her eyes, 'doesn't anyone read Hogwarts: a History?' her question was met with incredulous looks from most of the room.
Questions exploded inside Harry's head like fireworks and he couldn't decide which to ask first. After a few minutes he stammered,
'Remind you of someone?' Ron asked Harry with a grimace.
'Don't compare me to him' Harry told Ron with a similar grimace.
Hermione giggled at their looks and Amara looked Harry over,
'Harry is definitely better looking than him anyway.' She commented.
"What does it mean, they await my owl?"
'Well what other way is there to send mail?' Lucius asked – looking very bemused.
'The Muggle way.' The muggle-borns and half-bloods in the room chorused.
"Gallopin' Gorgons,
'I really doubt that gargoyles would gallop – like ever.' James said with an amused expression.
that reminds me,"
'Of what?' Sirius questioned.
'Well, if you let Lily continue reading, you would find out' Tonks glared at her cousin.
said Hagrid, clapping a hand to his forehead with enough force to knock over a cart horse, and from yet another pocket inside his overcoat he pulled an owl — a real, live, rather ruffled-looking owl
'The poor thing.' Alice said sympathetically.
— a long quill, and a roll of parchment. With his tongue between his teeth he scribbled a note that Harry could read upside down:
'Nice skill there, cub.' Remus said to Harry with a grin.
Harry looked at him with a rather bemused expression on his face.
'Did you just call me cub?' Harry asked.
'If you don't want me too, I won't.' Remus apologized, feeling self-conscious about his "furry little problem"
Harry saw his expression, and went over to him and gave him a hug.
'You can call me whatever you like Moony – just as long as your not calling me your bitch.' Harry told him.
Remus laughed at that and hugged him back. The rest of the room had studiously ignored their conversation – although a few lips twitched at the bitch part.
'Now that the moooshiness is over – shall we continue?' Amara asked, winking at Remus.
Dear Professor Dumbledore,
Given Harry his letter.
Taking him to buy his things tomorrow.
Weather's horrible. Hope you're well.
Hagrid
Hagrid rolled up the note, gave it to the owl, which clamped it in its beak, went to the door, and threw the owl out into the storm.
Several of the room's occupants shuddered at the thought of flying in that weather – even the Qudditch players.
Then he came back and sat down as though this was as normal as talking on the telephone.
Harry realized his mouth was open and closed it quickly.
"Where was I?" said Hagrid, but at that moment, Uncle Vernon, still ashen-faced but looking very angry, moved into the firelight.
"He's not going," he said.
'I'd like to see him try and stop Harry from going.' Lucius sneered at the book in disgust – the Dursley's that is.
Hagrid grunted.
"I'd like ter see a great Muggle like you stop him," he said.
"A what?" said Harry, interested.
"A Muggle," said Hagrid, "it's what we call nonmagic folk like them. An' it's your bad luck you grew up in a family o' the biggest Muggles I ever laid eyes on."
'That's putting it nicely.' Frank ground out.
"We swore when we took him in we'd put a stop to that rubbish," said Uncle Vernon, "swore we'd stamp it out of him!
'Stamp. It. Out. Of. Him. STAMP IT OUT OF HIM?' Lily screamed in rage.
'If they laid even a skin particle on Harry, on MY baby, I'll hex them into the next dimension.' She promised.
'As long as it ain't mine.' Amara told her.
'Fine.' Lily agreed.
Wizard indeed!"
"You knew?" said Harry. "You knew I'm a — a wizard?"
"Knew!" shrieked Aunt Petunia suddenly. "Knew! Of course we knew! How could you not be, my dratted sister being what she was?
Lily is not dratted!' James and Sev shouted. Sev blushed and sunk into his chair when he realized what he had said, but not before receiving a knowing smirk from Harry.
Oh, she got a letter just like that and disappeared off to that — that school — and came home every vacation with her pockets full of frog spawn,
'That was the year James and Sirius attempted to Prank me and I retaliated by putting frog spawn in their hair, I forgot to put the vial back in my trunk.' Lily seethed at her sister.
turning teacups into rats.
At the raised eyebrows Lily sighed and gave them the simple answer of –
'My parents wanted proof that I was learning something, so the Ministry allowed it for that one summer.'
I was the only one who saw her for what she was — a freak! But for my mother and father, oh no, it was Lily this and Lily that, they were proud of having a witch in the family!"
'As they should be.' All the purebloods said.
She stopped to draw a deep breath and then went ranting on. It seemed she had been wanting to say all this for years.
'Probably had.' Lily muttered.
"Then she met that Potter at school and they left and got married and had you, and of course I knew you'd be just the same, just as strange, just as — as — abnormal
'Don't insult my son!' James and Lily yelled.
'But I am abnormal, even in the wizarding world.' Harry said sadly
Just as the the others were about to contradict his remark, Amara interrupted.
'You're right Harry.' The others looked at her in shock and rage. Harry just smiled, thankful for someone being honest with him – but it still made him sad that he couldn't be normal and fit in.
'You should be proud of that fact Harry.' Everyone looked at her in shock and confusion.
Amara sighed and started to explain.
'If we were all meant to be normal – whatever that is – we wouldn't have been born with different characteristics and personalities. There is no real definition of normal, because everyone has a different definition if what normal is. For example – Harry's is being like everyone else and fitting in, whilst my own is everyone being who they are – in other words, I don't really have a definition of normal. On another point, why should we be like everyone else? Why should we all be the same? The world would be rather monotonous and boring.' Amara finished her rather lengthy explanation with a soft smile.
Her explanation had caused all the others in the room to have a very serious think, except Fate and Time, they already knew all this, and sent prideful smiles towards Amara who blushed slightly.
'She's right.' Hermione said finally, with the rest of the room nodding along in agreement.
— and then, if you please, she went and got herself blown up and we got landed with you!"
Harry had gone very white. As soon as he found his voice he said, "Blown up? You told me they died in a car crash!"
'A CAR CRASH?' screamed those who didn't know.
'Pretty much.' Harry said, eying the others in the room carefully.
"CAR CRASH!" roared Hagrid, jumping up so angrily that the Dursleys scuttled back to their corner. "How could a car crash kill Lily an' James Potter?
'I reckon' James muttered.
It's an outrage! A scandal! Harry Potter not knowin' his own story when every kid in our world knows his name!"
'As we have said before – more like everybody.' Draco stated.
"But why? What happened?" Harry asked urgently.
The anger faded from Hagrid's face. He looked suddenly anxious.
"I never expected this," he said, in a low, worried voice. "I had no idea, when Dumbledore told me there might be trouble gettin' hold of yeh, how much yeh didn't know. Ah, Harry, I don' know if I'm the right person ter tell yeh — but someone's gotta — yeh can't go off ter Hogwarts not knowin'."
'That would have been interesting.' Amara said with a gleam in her eyes.
'What's with that gleam in your eyes Amara?' Remus asked apprehensively.
'I just thought of a fan fiction challenge!' (A.N: This counts for all of you too – let me know if you are gonna use it.') She yelled in delight.
'What's that?' Hermione asked in interest.
'Basically, it's when fans of a book series or movie series write there own versions of events in the universe, it could be a slight change, or a major one. They even change the couplings in the stories.' Amara gave tem a brief overview.
The girls in the room seemed to become more excited at the prospect, but Harry was nervous.
'And people, actually write it about us?'
'Oh yes. The Harry Potter series is quite possibly the most popular.' Mara asked eagerly.
'What type of pairings?' Harry asked, even more apprehensive.
'Oh, everyone! I have seen ones when you are paired with many people, and I have seen at least one when you are paired with one of the people in this room. The options are limitless.'
'Even us – his parents?' Lily and James cried – scandalized.
'Oh yes! Harry has gone back in time in some of them – or only one of you dies that night, and Harry ends up as who you want. There is one that I am reading called 'Little Husbands' (A.N: Good story!) when Harry and James are twins, and they love each other so much when they are children that they convince their mum to bond them, but it actually worked, when she didn't think it would. It's not finished yet, but it's going through their years at Hogwarts, with some significant changes – like Pettigrew when to Slytherin.' Amara finished, everyone had various emotions on their faces.
'What about lengths?' Nacrissa and Hermione asked at the same time.
'They vary. There are some really short ones called 'drabbles' and then there are longer ones.'
'So what is this challenge of yours?' Regulus asked – trying to get back on topic.
'My challenge is – What would happen if Harry had gone to Hogwarts not knowing who he was and what he did as a baby.'
'Nice challenge.' Ginny complemented – thinking of some very nasty things.
'I know.'
'Let's get back to the story now.' Ron said, rather disturbed.
He threw a dirty look at the Dursleys.
"Well, it's best yeh know as much as I can tell yeh — mind, I can't tell yeh everythin', it's a great myst'ry, parts of it. . . ."
'Still is.' Harry muttered to Hermione.
He sat down, stared into the fire for a few seconds, and then said, "It begins, I suppose, with — with a person called — but it's incredible yeh don't know his name, everyone in our world knows —"
'He won't say it.' James said, shaking his head.
"Who?"
"Well — I don' like sayin' the name if I can help it. No one does."
'James is right, he won't say it.' Regulus commented, he had connected with Hagrid rather well when at Hogwarts – not that anyone knew that.
"Why not?"
"Gulpin' gargoyles, Harry, people are still scared. Blimey, this is difficult. See, there was this wizard who went . . . bad. As bad as you could go. Worse. Worse than worse.
'Thats one way to put it.' Severus drawled lazily – having heard it all before.
His name was . . ."
Hagrid gulped, but no words came out.
'He won't say it.' Sirius repeated sadly.
"Could you write it down?" Harry suggested.
'He wouldn't be able to spell it.' Lucius sneered, causing many to glare at him.
"Nah — can't spell it.
Lucius sent everyone a smug look. Harry was worried, this was a different Lucius to before.
All right — Voldemort." Hagrid shuddered.
'Oh my god! Hagrid said it!' James stated in disbelief.
'Harry totally rocks!' Sirius stated, hugging the closet person – Amara.. She blushed lightly, and waited for him to pull back, which he did soon after – a blush on his own face, having realized what he had done.
"Don' make me say it again. Anyway, this — this wizard, about twenty years ago now, started lookin' fer followers. Got 'em, too — some were afraid, some just wanted a bit o' his power, 'cause he was gettin' himself power, all right. Dark days, Harry. Didn't know who ter trust, didn't dare get friendly with strange wizards or witches . . . terrible things happened. He was takin' over. 'Course, some stood up to him — an' he killed 'em. Horribly. One o' the only safe places left was Hogwarts. Reckon Dumbledore's the only one You-Know-Who was afraid of.
Hermione snorted, glancing at Harry.
Didn't dare try takin' the school, not jus' then, anyway.
"Now, yer mum an' dad were as good a witch an' wizard as I ever knew. Head boy an' girl at Hogwarts in their day!
'WHAT?!' James screamed. Lily jumped up in joy and in her excitement crushed her lips n James', causing the rest to stop their congratulations in shock.
James' eyes were pen in shock, before they slowly closed and replied to Lily's forceful kiss.
After minutes f them kissing, and Harry hiding behind Hermione, blushing (he didn't want to see his parents kiss.) they slowly pulled apart, eyes gazing into each others. A smile appeared on Lily's lips as she pushed the shocked James into his chair and promptly sat on his lap. Ignoring their gaping friends, she continues on with the chapter.
Suppose the myst'ry is why You-Know-Who never tried to get 'em on his side before . . . probably knew they were too close ter Dumbledore ter want anythin' ter do with the Dark Side.
'And Lily's a muggleborn.' Severus muttered to himself.
"Maybe he thought he could persuade 'em . . . maybe he just wanted 'em outta the way. All anyone knows is, he turned up in the village where you was all living, on Halloween ten years ago. You was just a year old. He came ter yer house an' — an' —" Hagrid suddenly pulled out a very dirty, spotted handkerchief and blew his nose with a sound like a foghorn.
There were ears running down the faces of the females in the room, and th majority of the boys were trying to hold them off. Lucius just sneered at them all.
"Sorry," he said. "But it's that sad — knew yer mum an' dad, an' nicer people yeh couldn't find — anyway . . .
"You-Know-Who killed 'em. An' then — an' this is the real myst'ry of the thing — he tried to kill you, too. Wanted ter make a clean job of it, I suppose, or maybe he just liked killin' by then. But he couldn't do it. Never wondered how you got that mark on yer forehead? That was no ordinary cut. That's what yeh get when a powerful, evil curse touches yeh — took care of yer mum an' dad an' yer house, even — but it didn't work on you, an' that's why yer famous, Harry. No one ever lived after he decided ter kill 'em, no one except you, an' he'd killed some o' the best witches an' wizards
"Hagrid," he said quietly, "I think you must have made a mistake. I don't think I can be a wizard."
'What were you thinking?' Hermione asked tearfully.
'That there was no way I could survive something that killed my parents.' Harry said with tears n is eyes.
To his surprise, Hagrid chuckled.
"Not a wizard, eh? Never made things happen when you was scared or angry?"
Harry looked into the fire. Now he came to think about it . . . every odd thing that had ever made his aunt and uncle furious with him had happened when he, Harry, had been upset or angry . . . chased by Dudley's gang, he had somehow found himself out of their reach . . . dreading going to school with that ridiculous haircut, he'd managed to make it grow back . . . and the very last time Dudley had hit him, hadn't he got his revenge, without even realizing he was doing it? Hadn't he set a boa constrictor on him?
Harry looked back at Hagrid, smiling, and saw that Hagrid was positively beaming at him.
'That was my first happy memory that I could remember.' Harry said to himself, in a sad whisper. Remus had heard him of course, and Amara could gather what he was thinking, she got up and gave him a soft hug.
'You have many happy memories now, and have more to make. Not to mention,' she continued
'Now that the past people will know what's going to happen – it will change.' She told him – ignoring the soft coos and fiery glares.
Harry smiled at her, whispering a thanks, as she went back to her seat. She just winked at him and gestured for a tearful Lily to continue.
"See?" said Hagrid. "Harry Potter, not a wizard — you wait, you'll be right famous at Hogwarts."
'Have I mentioned unfortunately yet?' Harry asked sarcastically, causing Hermione to swat him playfully.
But Uncle Vernon wasn't going to give in without a fight.
"Haven't I told you he's not going?" he hissed. "He's going to Stonewall High and he'll be grateful for it. I've read those letters and he needs all sorts of rubbish — spell books and wands and —"
"If he wants ter go, a great Muggle like you won't stop him," growled Hagrid.
"Stop Lily an' James Potter's son goin' ter Hogwarts! Yer mad. His name's been down ever since he was born.
The eyes of all those magical in the room widened.
'You never told us that Harry.' Hermione looked at him with wide eyes.
'Didn't think it was anything significant.' Harry replied with a shrug, kind of uncomfortable at everyone's reaction to the news.
'Harry 'Draco started 'My name didn't go down until my first burst of accidental magic when I was four.'
'It's the same for everyone – no ones name goes down until their first accidental magic.' Hermione said – knowing this from her reading.
'Harry had his first burst of accidental magic on the day he was born.' Fate commented.
'He summoned his dummy to him.' Time said softly, nodding in agreement to what Fate had originally said.
Harry blushed, now realizing he may be a little more powerful than he originally thought.
He's off ter the finest school of witchcraft and wizardry in the world. Seven years there and he won't know himself. He'll be with youngsters of his own sort, fer a change, an' he'll be under the greatest headmaster Hogwarts ever had, Albus Dumbled—"
"I AM NOT PAYING FOR SOME CRACKPOT OLD FOOL TO TEACH HIM MAGIC TRICKS!"
'Oho…' Hermione said, as she glanced at the rest of the table who had satisfied smirks on their faces.
yelled Uncle Vernon.
But he had finally gone too far. Hagrid seized his umbrella and whirled it over his head,
"NEVER —" he thundered,
"— INSULT — ALBUS — DUMBLEDORE — IN — FRONT — OF — ME!"
'Too right' Sirius agreed, looking slightly fearful at Hagrid's outburst.
He brought the umbrella swishing down through the air to point at Dudley — there was a flash of violet light, a sound like a firecracker, a sharp squeal, and the next second, Dudley was dancing on the spot with his hands clasped over his fat bottom, howling in pain. When he turned his back on them, Harry saw a curly pig's tail poking through a hole in his trousers.
The room – excluding Lucius (who had been acting weird), burst into rambunctious laughter.
Uncle Vernon roared. Pulling Aunt Petunia and Dudley into the other room, he cast one last terrified look at Hagrid and slammed the door behind them.
Hagrid looked down at his umbrella and stroked his beard.
"Shouldn'ta lost me temper," he said ruefully,
"but it didn't work anyway. Meant ter turn him into a pig, but I suppose he was so much like a pig anyway there wasn't much left ter do."
'That's one way to describe an act of magic beyond your level' Lucius sneered disdainfully.
Nacrissa looked t her boyfriend in shock – how could he say something so cruel?
Lucius caught her eye and just sneered, causing tears to pop into her eyes.
He cast a sideways look at Harry under his bushy eyebrows.
"Be grateful if yeh didn't mention that ter anyone at Hogwarts," he said.
"I'm — er — not supposed ter do magic, strictly speakin'.
'Hagrid!' Lily yelled, scandalized at his lack of decorum for the rules.
I was allowed ter do a bit ter follow yeh an' get yer letters to yeh an' stuff — one o' the reasons I was so keen ter take on the job —"
"Why aren't you supposed to do magic?" asked Harry.
"Oh, well — I was at Hogwarts meself but I — er — got expelled, ter tell yeh the truth. In me third year. They snapped me wand in half an' everything. But Dumbledore let me stay on as gamekeeper. Great man, Dumbledore."
"Why were you expelled?"
'That is one tale we would all like to know.' James declared.
Hermione, Harry and Ron all shared a smirk, knowing exactly why Hagrid was expelled. Draco and Regulus caught their smirks, and instantly knew that they knew the reason, and where insanely curious.
"It's gettin' late and we've got lots ter do tomorrow," said Hagrid loudly. "Gotta get up ter town, get all yer books an' that."
He took off his thick black coat and threw it to Harry.
"You can kip under that," he said. "Don' mind if it wriggles a bit, I think I still got a couple o' dormice in one o' the pockets."
'Well, that's the end of the chapter.' Lily declared snuggling into James' warmth.
'Now Potter – 'Sev started.
'Yes?' both Harry and James said.
'Harry then – are you going to tell us why you were so panicked earlier?' He asked, gaining the attention of the rest of the room, who had been chatting about the chapter.
Harry was instantly on the defensive – and Sirius noticed it straight away.
Sirius instantly jumped up from his chair and rushed to Harry's side.
'Harry, pup. It is OK; no one will think any less of you. I promise you, and if they do, I will turn into Padfoot and slobber all over them.' Sirius soothed him, trying to get him to calm with a joke.
Harry laughed a little as he lent into his godfather's side.
The others from the past looked on in shock as Sirius Black, the jokester, the player comforted his godson in what could only be described in a fatherly manner. This was a side to Sirius they had never seen – and what confused them the most, including the future groups, was that he knew what had Harry upset while the rest of them didn't. Not even his best friends knew.
The two groups from the different futures looked on with soft smiles – despite their confusion. The godfather that they all knew Sirius was had finally decided to sow himself.
Harry looked at his godfather's supporting and comforting gaze, to Severus' impatient, but supportive gaze and sighed.
'The quickest way to say this would be – mum, you better get ready to hex your sister and her family.' Harry looked up from the spot n the table he had fixed his eyes on, and met the confused stares of the others in the room.
Harry sighed and looked into Sirius' eyes, pleading with him, silently to tell them.
Sirius sighed and raised his mournful eyes to the rest of the room and shakily stated –
'Harry was abused.'
A/N:
Heyy guys, sorry about the long wait. It has just been really hectic for me. I had almost had this finished when we received news that the owners of my mum's rented house want to sell it, so we had until the 25th of January to find somewhere else and move. That got me really frantic. I also had glandular fever recently, and my end of year exams. We have found a house, and we are moving this Friday – exactly a week before Christmas. I have also seen my granddad again recently – the first time since I found out he has lung cancer, it was hard on me to see him – especially because I knew he had left his treatment too long, allowing it to spread to his liver, and I am seriously worried about him.
Anyway enough with the depressing. Hope you enjoyed the chapter – and as you noticed, although Amara is in it – she is not going to be a main part, except for a source of info – so don't worry.
Please r&r.
I have also now got a forum – have no idea how to use it exactly – so any info helps. It is for anyone waning to ask questions about either of my harry potter multi-chap stories. I also have a new pole up about whether I should make the overheard joke a longer fic or not!
Ciao for now…
