It had been 6 months since Harry's dad had shown Harry that he had come back to life and he and Harry were starting to become really good friends. Harry loved his dad, his was so sweet and funny, but he seemed so different from how he was often described. He didn't seem like the pranking sort, but every time Harry brought this up, he would quickly change the subject. What secret could a dead man have that he wouldn't want his own son to know?
Even though Harry had never told anyone about his dad being back, everyone always made excuses to where he was. Right now everyone assumed he was "seeing someone". It was an odd thought that people might think he was "seeing" his father, but it did make sense, if he was a third party, it would seem like he was dating his father. He laughed at the thought.
"Harry" his dad said, bringing him back out of his thoughts "I haven't been completely honest with you, I'm not really your father"
"What?" harry said, confused "what do you mean you're not my father?"
"Wait! I wasn't finished yet. I was going to say I'm not your father, because I'm really your mother."
"WHAT!" screamed Harry
"Calm down Harry. I can explain. 19 years ago, when me and your father went into hiding, Dumbledore suggested we use polyjuice potion, to look like each other. That way, if Voldemort ever managed to hunt us down, he could kill the one he thought was the bigger threat, and leave the other one, who was actually the bigger threat alive. Now as you can tell, this didn't work, as he killed both of us, and if you die under the influence of polyjuice potion, you will stay that way forever and that's what happened to me and your father."
"So-what- you're really my mother?"
James- No Lily sighed "I think we just covered that"
"Does this mean that James ran off with Sirius in heaven?"
"Sadly, yes" Lily replied with a laugh
"Well, is there any way to fix this, is there any way you can become yourself again?"
"I don't think so, but I guess we've both been through a lot recently"
"Ya, I was so upset when Ginny died."
"Oh ya Harry, that reminds me. She isn't really dead; she is just buried under the rubble at the Quidditch pitch."
