The next destination is the Potters' house. Harry is the first to enter. The place looks nice. He is looking around at what will soon be his childhood home when his parents come down the stairs. "I swear that boy is going to be the death of me, James" say Lily as she begins to clean up a bit. "Oh come on, Lily, he's just excited. It's not like you have never been excited in your life" replies James. He helps her clean up. The couples sit down on the couch. "Mommy," Elena comes down the steps. "Yes, Sweet Heart" Lily replies. Harry puts his hand over his mouth not to gasp out loud. Harry's shock turns to happiness. He actually has a family, well sort of.
As Lily deals with whatever was bothering Elena that she couldn't sleep, Harry slipped up stairs. Not bothering to see if the rest of the group followed him Harry begins to peak into rooms. He spots the other mystery boy, this must be his brother. He looks around for clues of a name and finds the name Trevor on something. He decides to head back downstairs. He stops by what must be Elena's room when he hears someone singing. It's Lily. Harry closes his eye and listens as she sings Elena to sleep. He never knew his mother can sing. He hoped that this life is as perfect as it seems. He also hoped that they could figure out how to make sure that everything that was supposed to happen (that was positive) happens.
After Harry returns downstairs the group decides to pick a camping spot for the night. Their younger selves would be asleep by now. They talked about what they had seen late into the night. Chris left them alone for the night and arrived the next morning. They went to the burrow. Harry was still too busying thinking about his family to pay attention. "Everything appear okay?" Hermione asked Ron, Ginny and George. They all agreed that things seemed they should be. The next stop was to visit the Grangers. As predicted nothing had change there. The group was super hungry by time they arrived back at the camp site.
Ginny and Harry made sandwiches as Ron and Hermione set the table and got drinks. George sat in a chair tossing the ball again, and Chris just sat watching everyone intently. "Does anyone have any ideas for a plan yet?" asked Hermione, "because right now I am completely clueless". "What exactly is it you are all trying to accomplish now that you-know-who is dead?" ask Chris. "Making sure they fall in love" Ginny said half-jokingly pointing to Ron and Hermione. "And what about you and Harry?" ask George. Ginny blushed "Well, us too."
"You want to make sure your relationships stay the same?" Chris questions to clarify. They nod. "I should have guessed. Why else would you come back to 1991 after you killed him?" says Chris. He sighs thinking. "How is it you meet and fell in love in your current reality?" he asks. "Well, it was pretty much had do to a large part to Voldemort, for us anyway" Ron replied. They then go into the Troll in the Bathroom their first year, and their first kiss in the Chamber of Secrets. "Okay, we just because that is how you currently fell in love doesn't mean you won't another way" states Chris.
Harry could see the fear in their eyes. He couldn't picture how it would feel like to be not with Ginny now, and he knew Ron and Hermione were the same way. "And how was it you two fell in love?" Chris asks Harry and Ginny. Ginny replied, "Harry and Ron were friends from the first day of school; they met on the train ride, I guess we just fell in love from being around each other". Harry closed his eyes and wished that it would all work out again. Maybe they hadn't thought this out all the way. Even though he knew Ginny and him knew each other, who things work out the same way? Would they have the same moments that made them come together? Would Hermione even become their friend?
Chris asked a little bit more. Harry could tell he was really trying to help. Everyone was replaying the story, to themselves or out loud. They searched for something that would pop out as the key to the answer. Would it be possible to let a troll into Hogwarts? "Actually that's so crazy it just might work" replied George. Harry hadn't realized he had verbalized that last thought. But George agree with it did set off a group of thoughts. They had to get Hermione to be friends with him and Ron, that's how it happened the first time, so why not again?
They would have to do it one the same day, make sure Hermione was in the bathroom at the right time, make sure that Ron and himself went to go find her like before. "If the pieces of the puzzle go together like before, maybe everything will fall in place" said Ginny. "Right," said Chris, "If you become friends, and your love is true love, which it seems to be, then you should fall in love naturally". The plan was in place. Harry wanted to watch his family some more but the rest of the group was anxious to get going they packed up and prepare to take off again.
"This is where I leave you for a while then", said Chris. Everyone was a little confused. "Part of the rules, is that I can't change things myself, meaning I can't be around you while you go to set the troll lose" he pulled something out of his pocket. "I can offer you this thought. It's some of my blood. It will keep you hidden as if I was with you if you put it on yourself. Only while it's wet though so be careful. You can use the invisibility cloak for the rest. I'll try to meet up with you as soon as I can". He hands it to Ron who looks a little grossed out. "Wait", ask Hermione, "can't you just go to the future and tells us if this works?" Chris shook his head, "It's against the rules for me to tell you anything about the future or even the past, I am merely here to guide you by asking questions, and hopeing they lead you to the right answers" with that he was gone.
