Harry Potter and the Unexpected Heir
I don't own anything
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The sky was a midnight blue, the nearly full moon shined down of the village of Godric's Hollow. The people even at midnight were calming walking around and enjoying themselves. No one saw the burst of flames and four people magically appearing at the edge of the city.
Lillian and the trio have appeared at the edge of Godric's Hollow, and made their way through the square, Godric's Hollow remained one of the few villages in England that was entirely inhabited by wizards and witches, so no one paid any attention to four young wizards making their way through the square.
Harry Potter was taking in every sight, thinking that if Voldermort hadn't killed his parents this is where he probably would have grown up. His parents had lived here, he was just wondering why they were there, he had always wanted to visit their graves but he could do that by himself, he stopped his thoughts when he saw what was in the middle of the square. It was a war memorial, when he got closed he mouth hanged up, it transformed into a sculpture like of a Wizarding family. His parents' eyes looked back at him, and then he noticed they were holding a child in their arms, it was strange looking at a younger version of himself without his scar, the people of Godric's Hollow had made sure people didn't forget what happened here sixteen years ago.
They sped onwards towards the cemetery, however when they were halfway there they were met by a blown up building, no doubt the old residence of the Potter family. The house had been charmed so that no weeds or wildlife disrupted the structure, when they got closer a sign erupted from the earth. It talked about what had happened on that fateful night and visitors' wrote encouraging messages on the plaque which Harry thought was brilliant. He wanted to stay longer but Lillian again sped on. They finally arrived at the ancient cemetery. They went inside and noticed that many graves had familiar names, no doubt ancestors to the people they knew. Lillian guided them straight to the graves in the middle, a small green patch of grass was seen, unique in comparison to the others graves. The single large grave was done in white marble and an angel was carved over the headstone, a gentle smile on her face. On the headstone the clear words could be read:
James and Lily Potter
Together Even in Death
May their souls rest in Peace and their
Sacrifice be the hope destined to
Save us
31st October 1981
"They were buried together" Harry said, his voice full of emotion
"Yes it was their wish to be together even in death, they share the same tomb and the same coffin, their bodies were charmed not to decompose and the most powerful preservation and protective spells were put upon this tomb and surrounding area to make sure no disrespect to their memory was made, shame such a beautiful tomb is going to disappear" she explained
Harry looking at her was trying to decipher what she meant, before he could ask what she meant she was kneeling on the floor and had taken her wand out.
Lillian began "Merlin, founder of my line, help me to accomplish this task, Gryffindor brave friend of my line aid me" two wands appeared floating in front of her she placed her own as to make a triangle shape between the wands "Wands unite" she quietly said. The three wands morphed into one, a longer wand, not made of wood but gold, an unusual gold, it had a different shine to the usual gold.
Lillian stood up and quite loudly said "limiter release 3!" almost instantly a gold light formed around her, when it vanished Lillian's hair was blazing red, her eyes bluer than ever. She pointed at the tomb; the bid levitated up and was led to the side. The coffin lid too was removed. Two bodies, intact after sixteen years could be seen, they had a calmed expression on their faces, as if they were sleeping. The bodies levitated upwards, now they were standing up, held up by Lillian's magic. With her wand pointed at the couple Lillian confidently said "May my gift come into action, may death be repelled from these bodies, may my soul replace the ones they have lost. Vidus Resuctatis!" a white and silver beam shot out from the tip of the golden wand and headed towards Lily and James Potter, as it got closer it divided into two and dived deep into their chests. A golden light surrounded them, Lillian fell to her knees as two small white orbs of light came out through her mouth and they too sank into the chest of Lily and James Potter. The couple started breathing and their eyes opened, they grasped each others hands as they magic steadily let them down. They both had tears in their eyes.
Harry was starring at his parents, his parents were alive, they were resurrected some how, he wanted to run to them, embrace them, talk to them, say anything but he found that he was paralysed, he couldn't move, his body didn't respond from the shock, time seemed endless. His parents opened their arms in embrace and he somehow managed to move slowly to them, they seemed kilometers away, but he finally got to them and embraced them with all his might, afraid that they would be taken away from him again. After what seemed like an eternity they broke apart.
Harry voice stuttered "You're here… alive.. how?"
Lily had a few tears in her eyes "I'm sure everything will be explained"
James focused on his son "But you can be certain that we are not going anywhere, anytime soon"
He quickly hugged them again and turned towards Lillian, noticing she was on her knees breathing heavily he ran to her, helping her up.
"I'm fine Harry, as I never used this gift before I never knew that it took such a toll on me. We must hurry; it's not over for tonight. Penna, Ministry of Magic, Minister's Office please" she said, the phoenix appeared out of no where and flew over them; once more the group where immerged in warm flames and disappeared. When they had left the tomb of Lily and James Potter disappeared leaving only a larger version of the angel, her arms spread out as if she was embracing the whole cemetery.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The whole group arrived at the Minister's Office. Rufus Scrimgeour was looking over some papers for the Ministry, at two am. He looked up and nodded "I thought you would come at this time, there is no one down there so you are safe, make sure you come back sometime soon to discuss your actions, oh and give this to him" Scrimgeour gave Lillian a rolled up piece of parchment, the Minister seemed to be tired and talked in an unemotional voice. Lillian nodded and led the group out, past the hallway and down the corridor, towards a large black door. Luckily they are on the same floor Lillian thought.
Harry was still in a state of shock, his mind was going at thousands miles an hour, they were heading to the Department of Mysteries, could they possibly be…? No it was too much of a good thing for one night! Sirius! They were in the multi door room now Lillian shouted "Veil show yourself" and a door to her left opened, showing the Veil room. They entered Lillian turned towards them.
"This may take some time, so you might as well get comfortable, I will try to be as quick as possible but I have no experience with Veil's, see you soon" Lillian said
She walked up to the Veil when Harry shouted "No! You'll die, just like…Sirius" she simply smiled and vanished into nothingness, Harry was shocked he thought she would do something like she did with his parents, but she walked right into the Veil, when you go in you cant come out.
"calm down son, she knows what she's doing, Sirius is expecting her anyway, it should quicken things up" James suggested
Harry was confused "What do you mean Sirius is expecting her?"
Lily began "Harry when we died we were sent to another dimension, all the people that die are sent to the same dimension, so when Sirius saw us disappearing he knew something was up and joked about 'seeing you soon', from that dimension we can see what happens in this so we know everything you went through and I'm sorry you had to end up with Petunia, she has hated me ever since I got into Hogwarts"
James turned towards Lily "About that, Lily I know she is your sister and the only family you have left but I am going to have a chat with that woman and that pig she calls a husband about the way they treated my son! Maybe I will add a pair of pig ears to match the pig tail for that pig they call a son!"
"James!" Lily said her face serious, James looked at her with a don't-hurt-me look, "you're right dear" she said smiling, James mumbled an I'm always right Lily looked at him with a stern expression, "just imagine her face when we show up at her doorstep" Lily said smiling.
They continued talking, the Potters were in their own little world, until Harry got up and called Hermione and Ron over, the two had been really quiet since leaving Grimmauld Place, this was Harry's moment and they didn't want to ruin it. Harry led them over to his parents
Harry introduced them "Mum, dad these are my two best friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, they have been by strength since first year."
They shock hands with each other, big smiles on their face. The five continued talking until Lillian emerged from the Veil, her arms linked with Sirius Black. She looked extremely tired and on the merge of collapse, but tried her best to hide it, her hair still a blazing red colour. The moment James and Sirius saw each other they smiled, "Didn't I say I would see you soon" Sirius said, he turned to Harry and embraced him.
"Sirius I missed you so much" Sirius smiled and hugged Harry harder.
"I would never leave my godson alone for too long, but you have to really thank Lillian" he turned around, prepared to thank Lillian when they saw her on her fours, they all went to her.
"We have to go Molly is probably waiting" Lillian tried to say, but pain was obvious in her voice. "Penna, Grimmauld Place" The group vanished for the last time that night.
When they got to Grimmauld Place they were all worried about Lillian, when the flames vanished and their feet firmly on the group they noticed that Lillian was unconscious on the floor, her hair back to her original mahogany colour. Harry tried to wake her, but it was all in vain.
