A/N This is prolly the most exciting chapter so far! You will finally know what happens with the potion! Aren't you so excited? No? Well, you should be;) Thanks to all my faithful readers! I love getting reviews! I had like 12 today! It totally makes my day!
Hermione spent the entire day in agitation, waiting for the moon to come out. Sometime near 9 PM, she herded Harry out to the garden shed where their potion was brewing. She couldn't wait any longer. She was all tense from being cooped up inside all day, and this had been on her mind the whole time. They got to their shed and Harry drew the ashes out from his robes. Hermione was shivering with fear as Harry tipped them into the bubbling cauldron. Suddenly, Hermione realized how foolish her idea really was. She covered her ears, expecting to hear an explosion, but it never came. Instead, the potion began to boil like mad. Then, a small fountain erupted from the middle of it, sending a small stream to the floor of the room. Hermione screamed as the potion morphed into the figure of a girl. At first, she had no colour, but slowly, the colour burst from within her, adding tint to her body. The girl in front of them was none other than Ginny. More potion burst from the cauldron and this bit turned into Draco Malfoy. Harry looked confused, wondering when Malfoy had been murdered by Voldemort and what made him important enough. He had no time to think, because the potion continued spitting and adding to the small crowd of people in the room. Harry grew excited as he realized that his parents would be coming too. Sure enough, the figures of James and Lily Potter morphed out of the potion too. Hermione noticed that the potion in the cauldron was getting lower as more and more people came out. Soon, the figures of the elder Riddles and Tom Riddle senior came to be, and then the potion was gone.
The shack was nearly exploding with people, and Hermione was nearly exploding with excitement. It had worked better than she had ever imagined. Harry on the other hand, had nearly passed out on seeing his parents again. They looked exactly the same as they did on the night they died. They hadn't aged at all. Neither had anyone else, in fact. The Riddles looked exactly the same as when Harry had seen them in Dumbledore's Penseive. You couldn't tell with Ginny or Draco because they had only been killed a few months earlier. Hermione was the first to recover from the shock. She reached out and touched Ginny, who was standing right in front of her. When she found that Ginny was solid, she fainted dead away. Harry screamed and ran from the shed. This of course, brought everyone running from the Burrow as well. Mrs. Weasley was the first to catch up to Harry. "What's wrong, Harry?" Harry couldn't speak; he just motioned for everyone to follow him. He led them to the shed, where Mrs. Weasley gasped. There was a crowd of people that had randomly appeared in her garden shed. At first, she was angry at Harry and Hermione for organizing a party in her backyard, but then she recognized some of the people. They were from the Order of the Phoenix…and they had been dead for years. Then, she saw Ginny. Tears began openly streaming down her face as she embraced her youngest daughter. Harry walked over to his parents and hugged them. His mother looked at him funny.
"Who are you? You look like James. Harry! Is that you?" Lily nearly suffocated her son. Harry's eyes were shining with tears now too. "You've grown so much! All I remember was Voldemort getting into the house and…and…killing us. How did we get here? Where are we, anyway?"
"Voldemort's gone, Mum. I killed him." Harry felt a shiver run up his spine. "We're at the Burrow, Ron Weasley's house. I don't really know how you got here. Hermione…wait a minute! Hermione!" He went over to where Hermione was lying on the ground and pointed his wand at her. "Enervate!" he said. She looked up at him with a dazed expression. "Hermione! You've got to come meet my mum and dad! They're here!" He dragged back to his parents and finished explaining. "Hermione had a dream about Voldemort's ashes. I took them after I killed him. She had nightmares about them, and they told her how to make this potion. We had no clue what was happening, but we made the potion and then put the ashes in. And all of you guys came out! I can't believe you're here! I've missed you so much. The Dursley's weren't exactly very nice parents."
"You lived with the Dursleys? As in Petunia and Vernon? What about Sirius?" Harry's dad asked.
"Yeah, I lived with the Dursley's. Sirius got sent to Azkaban. Wormtail, who betrayed you guys, by the way, blew himself up. Sirius was going to kill him, but Wormtail beat him to it, and killed a whole bunch of Muggles too. Everyone thought Sirius had done it, but then a few years ago, Wormtail showed up again. He got away again, but I almost got to go live with Sirius then. Later, the Black house became headquarters for the Order of the Phoenix and Sirius got stuck there. I would have gone to live with him after that, but, he died."
"Sirius? Dead? How?" Harry's dad was in shock. "And if we came back, why not him?"
"Voldemort didn't kill him, dad. He fell through a veil thing in the Department of Mysteries three years ago."
"Is Remus still alive?"
"Yeah. He was my Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher in Third Year, until Snape let out that he was a werewolf."
"Snivellus was a teacher?" Harry's dad was mildly surprised. Lily threw hi a warning look. I had been no secret that James was not fond of Severus Snape.
"Was, yes. He taught Potions. He's gone now. He killed Dumbledore at the end of my Sixth Year." Harry paused for dramatic effect.
"Snape killed Dumbledore? He killed Dumbledore? I always knew he would do something like that one day, but I never expected…Dumbledore!" He turned to his wife. "We've been gone a long time. Our son is grown up, and we don't even know him."
