Harry's Story

When all occupants in the room are comfortably seated, Minerva McGonagall, current headmistress of Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry cleared her throat and said, "Now that we are all here and seated comfortably, I think the best course of action to do now is eat. Today has been a long day and in feeding our stomach first we will have a fruitful discussion about this later so Tippy."

A house elf appeared in front of the professor and bowed then said, "What can Tippy do for Professor McGonagall?"

"Can you please bring food for dinner here in my office for about eleven people." Said Professor McGonagall

"Yes, Tippy will be honored Professor McGonagall" Tippy replied before she disappear magically.

"What the- How could that that disappear as if by magic? There's no such thing as magic " Harry blurted out.

"What do you mean there's no such thing as magic? Magic is real and "that" you said is a house elf and it's natural for them to just appear and disappear." Lily said as she thought 'what's wrong with him?'

At that instant a table magically appeared in front of them along with plates that is filled with food.

Harry stared wide eye. Everything was surreal. Everything is so magical. He didn't know if this is just a dream or real but he didn't really care now. Now he wanted to make this feeling last which is happiness with his new found family and magic being real.

The girls ate with manners unlike the boys for that matter who shove the food in their throats as if they haven't eaten for a year.

Ginny notice Harry not eating and is staring blankly at the food with a small smile on his face.

"What's wrong Harry? Why are you not eating? Are you not hungry or rather you don't like the food?" Ginny asked concerned lacing in her voice.

"No that's not it it's just that everything that happened since I woke up is different, it's magical. It is like the dream that I always wanted to happen." Harry said

"Don't worry. Everything will be fine. Everything will work out in the end dear. Now why don't you eat before the food gets cold." Ginny said as she put the plate before Harry while plotting of ways how to prank the Dursleys again.

"Thank you." Harry said quietly.

"No need to thank me, Harry. We are family after all." Ginny said quietly so that only Harry could hear.

Once all are finish in eating, the plates magically disappear. Ginny look at Harry and said, "Harry can you tell me the last thing you remembered before waking up here?"

Every conversation stop in the room as they listen to what Harry is going to say.

Harry under all the stares became uncomfortable. Unknowingly he squirmed a bit, which did not go, unnoticed by all the adults present.

The children on the other hand didn't notice Harry's discomfort under their gaze. James and Albus were looking at Harry with interest both thinking that at least they'll be able to learn something from their dad. Lily, Rose and Hugo all look confused as they have no idea who the Albus-look alike is.

Just as Harry was about to answer, the fire turned green and a man of early twenties stepped out of the fireplace then said, "You're all here. Thank goodness I don't need to floo in the Weasleys and the Potter Manor. By the way aunt Ginny, where's uncle Harry. I need to tell him something important."

When no one seems to answer his question, he looks around the room. He caught sight of 2 Albus but wait his mind said, the other one is a bit smaller that looks like 9 to 10 years old and when you look closer, you can find a scar on his forehead. It's just that he can't see what shape it is because of the hair covering it. Then he remember the day when he visited the Potter's, he caught sight of James and Albus planning to prank someone. So this is the result of it, a de-aged Harry Potter.

He didn't notice it but the corners of his mouth twitch trying hard not to laugh. He faces the 2 boys and said, "So you succeeded in pranking your dad, nice one mate."

"Wait so that boy is dad?" Lily said

"What are you talking about?" Harry said now confuse. That girl that has a red hair said that he is her father but it's impossible and not true.

Ginny look at Lily behind Harry and mouthed "later"

Lily saw it and stops herself from asking questions.

Teddy Lupin saw the later from Ginny's mouth, stops himself from saying something and sat down beside Albus.

"Now Harry dear, you were saying a while ago before Teddy appeared." Ginny ask

"Umm yeah…umm, last time I remember before I woke up here is that I'm in uncle Vernon's car with my cousin and aunt." Harry answered

"Wait, why are you in the car. You're aunt and uncle never let you go with them out, they al ways left you in Mrs. Figg's house." Ron said not thinking what he said just what the first thing that pops in his head.

"Wait how did you know that the Dursleys never let me go out with them and left me in Mrs. Figg's house?" Harry asked in disbelief for all he know only James knew his life at the Dursley's and no one else in this room.
Hermione gave Ron a that's-your-problem-so-fix-it look in which Ron paled a little then said dramatically as an idea struck him, "I know that information young Harry because of magic. Magic is around us and helps me know what to know."

Almost everyone except Harry rolled their eyes at of Ron's antics. Hermione gave Ron a glare that could make Voldemort cower and slaps his side quite painfully, I might add which made Ron yelp and sat beside Teddy which is the farthest place from Hermione

"Oh." Harry said not knowing what to say as he watched Ron acting childishly.

"Okay moving on, you were saying Harry." Hermione said

"Right…umm" Before he could add something a huge grin formed in his lips James and Albus saw this grin and couldn't help themselves to be interested in what Harry is saying, "Well it started with me receiving a letter that just showed where I sleep. I was about to open it when Dudley got it and showed it to his parents in which made their faces shock."

"Why?" Lily ask, now being interested in the story.

"I don't really know. You see I haven't even read the letter." Harry answered finally having the confidence in telling what happened.

"Is that the Hogwarts Letter?" James asked excitedly wanting to know what will happen if you did not receive the letter. He wanted to do that before but because of him being super excited in getting his Hogwart's letter, he forgot his plan. He wanted to try it out to Al but he wouldn't let him near the letter anyway he'll probably know now.

"Hogwarts?" Harry asked confuse. He heard them saying Hogwarts a while ago but he really didn't know what kind of word is Hogwarts.

"You don't know what Hogwarts is?" Teddy asked surprise

"Sorry, no." Harry replied

"Harry, Hogwarts is a school of witchcraft and wizardry. Hogwarts is where you'll learn how to control and do magic." Hermione said

"Ahh." Harry said understanding now the reason why the shock faces of his aunt and uncle when they read the letter. They simply don't like things that are unusual.

"Moving on, what happened next?" Albus asked

"Well after that I kept receiving letters like the one that I received which my aunt and uncle kept me from reading. Days and days pass but the letters just tripled. Until Last Sunday, letters covered the house. My uncle got mad and told us to pack. We sleep in a hotel and in the morning though I receive a hundred of them. We went to car and uncle Vernon drive again. We were in the car and I think I fall asleep and here I am meeting James and Albus. And still I haven't read the letter though." Harry finished.

He was greeted by the sight of children to adults who were grinning like mad after hearing his story. He didn't notice how tired he was after he told them his story but that didn't go unnoticed by Ginny and Hermione. Ginny smiled thinking how cute Harry is in his form, "Harry dear, I think you are tired and I think it's time for you to sleep. You had a long day."

Harry nodded not wanting his new family got mad at him but still a part of him didn't want to sleep. He wanted to ask questions and maybe, a part of him says that if he sleeps, he'll wake up with the Dursleys.

Ginny notice the emotions in his eyes. She smiled and led Harry at the far end of the room; she put out her wand and said the incantation to make the chair into a comfortable bed.

"Wow." Harry said amazed in seeing magic again.

"Yes, wow. Now sleep. Don't worry Harry this is not a dream but rather it's real. And don't worry about us disturbing you, I put on a silencing charm." Ginny said with a fond smile.

"Umm wait." Harry said not knowing what to say, "James and Albus said that they are my distant cousins, is that true?"

Ginny seem to think that will be a good excuse for Harry to stay with them nodded.

"So, can I call you aunt Ginny." Harry asked hopefully

"Of course, Harry." Ginny said

She was about to walk away when she heard Harry whispered, "Goodnight Aunt Ginny."

"Goodnight Harry." Ginny replied back. She couldn't help herself but kiss Harry on the forehead and added, "I love you."
