I wanna hold your hand
Oh, please, say to me
You'll let me be your man
and please, say to me
You'll let me hold your hand
Now let me hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand
The Beatles - I want to hold your hand
"Mr. Weasley, what is the the year, date, and time? It is not the time we remember." Ron looked at his muggle wrist watch that Hermione gave him last Christmas. Ron then looked up to Lily knowing the date that made a difference to what was to happen. " James and Lily Potter, it is 12:01am July 31st, 2003."
Lily looked up at Ron with tears welding up in her eyes. "I'm sorry. Did I say something wrong?" Ron asked
"No. It is just that our son would have been 23 years old today." James said sadly. Ron grimaced and tried to say something that didn't reveal the truth.
"Your son was a very brave child. His death saved our world because when your son died, so did Voldemort." Ron said knowing he didn't really lie about Harry and the Battle at Hogwarts. Lily smiled weekly knowing to her son did not die in vain. "Lily," said Ron "Hold my hand and James hold hers so we can go to the Auror offices to get you in our living system and have you for questioning, just to make sure you are the true Lily and James Potter."
"Why do we need to be questioned? We are what we say we are. Lily and James Potter!" James questioned.
"We had some Death Eaters trying to gain power again a couple of years ago and one actually claimed to be a dead and used an innocent deceased person's name. They are in Azkaban now." Ron answered James and Lily nodded in understanding and aperated in front of the Head Auror's office. "Now just sit in those chairs right here," Ron said " and I am going to get the Head ready for your questioning. It will only take about a couple of minutes." and with that Ron knocked on the door and let himself in. As Lily and James waited to be sent in the office, Lily looked at the door.
"James!" Lily said as she shoved his arm. "Look!" and she pointed at the sign that said The Ministry of Magic's Head Auror H.J. Potter "James do you have any relatives that are alive?" Lily asked
"No, and we are the only Potters in the Wizard World." James paused and looked at Lily wide eyed. "Do you think Lily that Harry could be alive?" he asked
"Maybe James, maybe." Lily answered
As that was happening, Ron walked in and saw Harry pacing in his office waiting for Ron.
"Hey mate! Happy Birthday!" Ron said happily
Harry ignored Ron's greeting. "Please Ron." he pleaded "Is it them? If it is, I would be the happiest wizard in the world!" Ron smiled and nodded.
"Again I say Happy Birthday mate. Best gift yet eh?" said Ron
"Yeah. Maybe ever." Harry hadn't smiled like this since he was 11 years old going to Hogwarts for the first time.
"Well mate don't be anxious around them, they think your dead because of the attack that night. So right now go in to the cabinet room, get your parent's files, get the veritaserum and just make the best of it." Ron smiled and then faded away "You ok?" Ron asked
"Yeah its just I'm excited to seem them in the flesh but its sad to know that they think I'm dead." Harry said. He smiled at Ron and knew that Harry was going to make this situation better than he had planned it.
"Go and get them Ron as I get the stuff ready." Harry said seriously
"Alright Mr. Potter time to meet your parents." Ron joked and laughed and heard Harry laughed in the background.
James and Lily sat by the door waiting to be let in. "James and Lily?" Ron said peaking his head out the door. "You can come in now." The Potters stood up and walked into the room. "If you just sit right in these chairs, the Head will be here momentarily." Ron said happily
"Mr. Weasley?" asked Lily.
"Please Lily call me Ron." Ron said smiling.
"Ok, Ron are you sure you were talking about our son and his death. We are the only Potters in the Wizard world and the door said H.J Potter." asked Lily.
"Yes I was but what I was really talking about was a war that happened six years ago." Ron answerd.
"Ok, so does that mean that our son is alive?" asked James. Ron just smiled and walked out of the room. James and Lily looked around the room and loved the decoration. The walls were painted Red and Gold and on one plain side away from the bookshelves was a school banner which was gold and the letters were red which read GRYFFINDOR with a lion right next to it. And behind the desk that had a frame of a jersey that said POTTER 7. Lily who looked at the Heads desk and saw some personal things but one thing caught her eye.
"James!" Lily said excitedly "Look at the plague!" Harry James Potter: Head Auror, The boy who lived, and The savior of the Wizarding World. James looked at the plague like it was the most beautiful thing in the world.
"I can't believe it! Our son is alive! B-but how?" James said happily.
"I don't know James, maybe he will tell us what did happen that night, but right now I want to see my son and hold him and never let go!"Lily smiled
"Lily look at this picture!" James said as he held up a picture frame of Harry and Ginny dancing at their wedding."Harry is married!" Lily could hold her tears any longer.
"My baby boy is 23 years old today and married? Yesterday was the first time he said mummy." Lily cried "Oh, and look James. Harry has a picture of the three of us on his desk"Lily pointed out at the pictures where James was holding baby Harry, Lily who held his little hand, and Harry was giggling and looking strait into the camera to show off his eyes he inherited from Lily. James smiled thinking *Yes! My son is alive, and he played Quidditch!*
Soon the side doors opened and Harry walked in with the veritaserum in one hand and his parent's files in the other. As he sets his supplies on his desk, he looked up and saw his parents with anticipation in their eyes. His thoughts stopped. "Mum? Dad?" Harry questioned because he wanted to make sure if it was true and that Ron wasn't joking around.
Lily smiled and tears were running down her cheeks, as James answered "Harry? Yes, It is us! Please Harry look at me in the eyes I want to see something." Harry obeyed and pulled up his office chair and set it next to James and sat next to him. Harry took off his glasses and looked at James in the eyes even if his eye sight made him blind as a bat without them. James smiled "You have your mother's eyes" Harry smiled and stood up and put his glasses back on and started on a more serious note.
"As much I really want to go through this reunion, we need to question you for security reasons. If you pass, which I really hope you do, we could come to my house and celebrate, and if you have any questions I would love to answer them for you. Ok?" Harry instructed but with a smile on his face
"Yes, we understand Harry." said Lily
Harry smiled and took the veritaserum and gave it to Lily."Please drink this just so we get honest answers." Harry said as he looked at Lily who looked sad thinking her son didn't trust her. "Im sorry it is standard otherwise I wouldn't let you do this." Lily nodded and drank the vile. "Now I will ask you questions only you would know."said Harry.
"Full name?" Harry asked
"Lilian Marie Evans Potter."
"Birthday?"
"January 30th, 1960."
"Blood status?"
"Muggleborn."
"House?"
"Gryffindor."
"Patronus?"
"A doe."
"Last question. What was the last thing you said to me before your death? asked Harry knowing it wasn't on Lily's files but he remembered what she said in Snape's memory. Lily thought for awhile and suddenly remembered what she said.
"Harry, you are loved, sooo loved. Harry muma loves you. Harry dadda loves you. Harry be safe, be strong." Lily said with tears of running down her cheeks as she remembered what happend after she said that. Harry stopped writing and put a stamp on Lily's file. "So," Lily said nervously "Did I pass?" Harry looked up from his papers, and smiled.
"Yes mum, you passed." Lily smiled and ran to her son and they hugged.
"My baby boy! I'm so glad your alive!" Lily cried
"I'm glad that your back mum." Harry said happily as he wiped away her tears of happiness.
Lily chuckled as the thought came though her mind that her son was wiping away her tears and not vice versa. "Happy birthday love!"Lily said quietly
"Thanks mum." Harry smiled and turned to James. "Alright your turn." James drank the vile and answered the questions.
"Full name?" asked Harry
"James Harold Potter."
"Birthday?"
"March 27th 1960."
"Blood status?"
"Pure-blood."
"House?"
"Gryffindor"
"Quidditch Position?"
"Chaser."
"Patronus?"
"A stag."
"How do you open the marauder's map?"
"I solemnly swear I am up to no good."
"And to close?"
"Mischief managed"
"Are you a Animagus? If so what animal?"
"I am and I am a stag like my patronus."
"May you pleas turn into your Animagus form?" Harry asked excitedly. James just smiled and quickly turned into a beautiful black stag. Harry walked up to the stag and looked at him. The stag had loving eyes and then suddenly licked Harry's cheek. Harry giggled and so did Lily. Harry petted the stag.
"When you were fussing your father would turn in to his stag form and start licking you." Lily said smiling "You would stop and start laughing." Harry smiled and looked at the stag.
"Alright you passed dad! You can turn back to yourself now." Harry still laughing because James kept licking his face. James suddenly stopped and turned back to himself again as Harry stamped James's file. Harry was relieved that his parents passed the questioning. Harry walked to his parents who were smiling at him and hugged them and never wanted to let go and suddenly Harry found himself crying with his parents.
After about fifteen minutes of hold each other Harry looked at his parents and smiled. "Mum, dad lets go home, and Ron go get Hermonie. We need to celebrate and tell your parents too. I'm pretty sure they want to meet their in-laws."said Harry.
"Alright Harry. See you in a bit!" and with that Ron disapperated
"His parents are your in-laws?" asked James
"Yes." Harry answered happily " Ron was my first friend at Hogwarts and not just Hogwarts, he was first friend ever. I will explain all of that when we get home. I married his sister Ginny and she is the love of my life."
James laughed and playfully slapped his son on the back "Son, you are one brave man for marrying a best mate's sister!"
Harry laughed too, "I know, but lets go home. I want you to meet Ginny."And then the Potters held hands but before they disapperated, James and Lily said "Harry?"
"Yes?" Harry looked at them confused but what was said next was something he always wanted to hear from his parents. "We love you, Happy Birthday son!" Harry smiled and replied " I love you guys too." and with that they disapperated to the cottage.
