Chapter 2: October 1st, 1981
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sirius stared. That's all he could do. There was no way this was his godson from the future. Okay, so maybe it was possible, but highly unlikely. It had to be a death eater in disguise. He'd have to test him.
"Alright, if you're really my Godson, prove it," Sirius said calmly, still not lowering his wand, but keeping quiet so he wouldn't wake little Harry.
"You have a Map called the Marauder's Map," Harry explained. "You open it by saying 'I solemly swear I am up to no good', and so no one else can see what it says, you say 'Mischief Managed' so it looks like a normal piece of parchment. Your nicknames are Padfoot, Prongs, Moony and Wormtail, and your friend Remus is a werewolf."
Sirius paled, tightening his grip on his wand. "H-How do you know about that?" not so much the map, but about Remus.
"Because he taught me in my third year at Hogwarts," Harry said calmly. "Defense Against The Dark Arts. I met with his werewolf form on the night of the full moon."
Sirius frowned, and lowered his wand finally. "Then...it really is you, from the future. Not many know the secrets of the Marauder's Map, only a select few."
Harry nodded, lowering his own wand, tucking it away in his pants pocket before sighing. Sirius tilted his head.
"Why in the world are you here, of all times, and how?"
"After a traumatic event that happened in my fifth year, Professor Dumbledore gave me the chance to go back in time to help save my parents, hoping it would change things and make a better future," Harry explained, and Sirius' eyes widened.
"Save your parents? Why...what happens to them?"
By the way Sirius was speaking, they were still alive, so he still had time, which was good. But he didn't know how much time, which was bad.
"They were murdered...October 31st, 1981, by Lord Voldemort," Harry explains, and Sirius paled.
"T-That's...today's date."
Harry blinked. That meant he really didn't have long before it happened. He cursed.
"Where are they?" he asked, looking around the small room.
"They should be home soon, they made a short trip to Diagon Alley," Sirius said. Curious, he looked over at Harry. "If....your parents were murdered, Lord Voldemort must have tried to kill you too, right? He wouldn't leave without trying to take down all of the Potters at once."
Harry nodded.
"Then what happened? How did you survive?"
"Voldemort hit me with the killing curse," Harry told him. "But it didn't work, because my mother sacrificed herself for me. She used love to save me, and the spell hit Voldemort, supposedly killing him. I'm here to stop him, and hopefully change the future into a better place."
Sirius nodded, taking all of this in. "Alright then. You stay somewhere and hide. You know when to come out."
Harry nodded and when Sirius left the room, took out his father's invisibility cloak. Good thing he brought this, he was sure it would come in handy.
Within fifteen or twenty minutes, Harry heard the door to Godric's Hollow opening and the unfamiliar voices of his parents as they walked in, along with Sirius'. He heard James and Sirius laughing together, and his heart clenched in his chest. To think only hours from now....he shivered.
'Don't think about it, Harry. You've come here to fix things, and you will make a better future for your parents, Sirius, and yourself,' he told himself.
Lily was the first to walk into the nursery and smiled at the sight of her son sleeping in his crib. She of course had no idea that her son was also standing near the closet with the invisibility cloak on.
Harry's breath was caught in his throat, he was completely still upon seeing his mother, alive and well, and holding the infant him in her arms. At least he had felt the touch of his parents love before...
Upon hearing a crash from downstairs, both Harry and Lily jumped, and he tugged the cloak tighter around him.
"Lily, take Harry and run! It's him!" he heard James call from downstairs. His eyes narrowed. Time to act.
He immediately took off downstairs before anything happened to his father, and froze. Voldemort was standing there in all his glory, wand pointed at James, who's wand was pointed right back at him. He had blasted the door open, that was what made the crash.
"Ah, Potter, how lovely to see you again," Voldemort hissed as he looked around the lovely home that was Godric's Hollow. "Are you alone?"
"You won't get your hands on Lily or Harry!" James exclaimed, a look of complete seriousness (no pun intended) and anger on his face as he looked at Voldemort, who only smirked.
"Now now, we can do this rationally, can't we? Avada-"
"EXPELLIARMUS!"
Both James and Voldemort looked startled to find an almost identical yet younger version of James standing in the room. The same unruly black hair, the same glasses, but emerald green eyes, and a lightning bolt shaped scar on his forehead. A wand was pointed right at Voldemort.
Both were stunned into silence for a moment, before Voldemort made his way over to Harry.
"And who might I ask, are you?" Voldemort asked with a hiss to his voice.
"I'm Harry, Harry James Potter," Harry smirked when he saw Voldemort looking shocked, but the expression quickly wore off. Not for James, though. His eyes were wide, watching the scene unfold.
'How is that possible? Why...?' James lost his train of thought, as he watched the two fight.
"Why don't we take this outside, Tom, and carry out this fight like men?" Voldemort hissed.
"Don't call me that! I am Lord Voldemort! Remember and fear my name, boy!"
"I don't fear you," Harry said in a low voice, his wand at the ready. "I'm here to take you down."
"Avada-"
"Expelliarmus!" Harry shouted, knocking Voldemort's wand from his arm. He hissed as he saw Harry went to pick it up, but instantly made his way over to him, lifting him up by his neck.
Harry choked and struggled, both wands leaving his hands as they went limp, falling to the ground. Voldemort tightened his grip on Harry's neck until he started gurgling.
James finally snapped out of it, and pointed his wand at Voldemort's back. "Diffindo!"
Voldemort let out a hiss and dropped Harry to the ground as he felt pain rip through his back. It didn't last for long though.
Harry panted as he collapsed to the floor, his hands wrapped around his neck and rubbing it as he watched James and Voldemort.
Had his father just saved him?
He was about to let a smile on his face when he heard the sound of a female scream.
'Mum!' he thought to himself, turning to look behind him. There stood Lily carrying his infant self in his arms, standing at the top of the stairs.
"Ah, Lily," Voldemort turned to face her, standing right behind Harry. "So good of you and little Harry to join us. Now I can take out the whole set of Potters. You can all die together." He leaned down and was about to pick up his wand, but was stopped when Harry had his own wand.
"Potter, you honestly think you can stop me?" Voldemort sneered as he looked at Harry. Lily was the only confused one here. Why did he just call that boy Potter...?
"I can, and I will," Harry said. "I'm meant to do it, it's my destiny, and I will fulfill it now! Avada Kedavra!"
It was the first time Harry ever uttered the killing curse, but it was perhaps the only thing that could destroy Voldemort.
A loud hissing screech could be heard throughout Godric's Hollow, and then silence.
When Harry, James and Lily opened their eyes, they found a very dead body of Voldemort lying on the ground.
Lily screamed, and Harry fainted.
