AN: ok guys I'm back again... just a quick note though, I see that there are some of you who don't like the explanation given by Flitwick in the last chapter quoting that it was unrealistic... well no offence but isn't the entire idea of time travelling witches and wizards fighting dark lords and mountain trolls unrealistic? Their imaginations JUST GO WITH IT!

Chapter 10

Harry and Hermione were in the great hall when they heard a commotion at the entrance of the hall a group of students had gathered around the two new entrants to the hall, both stood up to see who had entered the hall it wasn't until they sae Neville that they became aware of who had entered the hall.

"Harry did you know your parents are here?" Neville asked walking over to them, Harry's face lit up he went to break into a run but stopped when he saw Hermione's apprehension.

"Don't worry" He said smiling and grabbed her hand pulling her with him.

"Mum! Dad!" Harry yelled pushing through the crowd; Lily and James found Harry and embraced their son, letting him go Lily turned to Hermione.

"I know that you are the other Hermione from Harry's time but that does not change anything, now get over here and hug me before I ban you from my library" Lily joked, Hermione smiled and embraced Lily Harry saw this and smiled inwardly, now hopefully Hermione's fear would be put to rest. Hermione quickly excused herself and ran to speak to Professor Flitwick a few seconds later and she returned slightly out of breath but happy never the less.

The four of them plus Neville who Lily was adamant should join them went to the room of requirement, Neville looked on in wonder as the four of them casually walked into the room that appeared from nowhere.

"So not that we don't appreciate the visit but something tells me you weren't here to just see us were you?" Harry asked as they sat down, Lily shook her head whilst James explained.

"We needed to speak to a certain headmaster who can't keep his nose out of other people's business, we've closed the door on him but something tells me we haven't heard the last of this"

Hermione was thinking a thousand miles a minute, trying to piece together some kind of plan; she remained silent for a few more minutes before jumping up in delight.

"I've got it!" She yelled startling everyone

"No offense Mione but it's about now that you tell us what it you are having instead of petrifying us half to death" Harry laughed as Hermione swatted his arm playfully.

"We need a way to keep a closer eye on Dumbledore don't we? Well how about once we've dealt with the other problem that we need to deal with one of your parents replaces that position?" she explained carefully masking the details from Neville who wasn't aware of the entire situation yet.

"Hermione that is brilliant! I would recommend James however as my forte was always charms, but James here well he was an auror for 10 years so I think he would be best for the job!" Lily explained as Hermione blushed from the praise.

"Sorry but what are you guys on about?" Neville asked the potters and Hermione all looked at each other before nodding.

"Neville you might want to sit down, we have something to tell you that is going to shock you"

Neville sat down as he was told and Hermione began the explanation.

"Ok Neville here's the deal, I and Harry were sent back in time by our angel of death, Meredith her name is, lovely woman we were sent back to correct all the mistakes that were made the first time round and top stop all the deaths and manipulations made by certain red headed families and tiresome headmasters. Oh and the spirit of Voldemort is latched onto the back of Professor Quirell's head hence why he always wears the turban. We're going to get rid of them both and then were going to ask Professor Flitwick and Professor McGonagall to help get my Dad hired so we can have another set of eyes watching over us during our time here at the castle. Make sense?"

Neville sat dumb struck mouth wide open he stayed like that for a few more seconds before Harry commented.

"If you're not careful mate you're going to eat some bugs" This seemed to shake Neville from his frozen state, he was still processing the information when he asked the question that was most haunting.

"My parents weren't part of that plan were they?" He whispered, Harry and Hermione both mentally smacked themselves, they had forgotten about Frank and Alice; Hermione knelt in front of Neville.

"Neville, I promise you now I'm going to find a way to help your parents, I promise you will get your mum and Dad back, it may take some time but you will have them back. I give you my word"

Neville gave a small smile, he had never really come to terms with what happened to his parents he didn't bother talking to anyone about it because he thought it selfish of him, and after all they weren't dead so he didn't believe he should have a right to be upset about it. Lily was going to make sure that he got the comfort he needed. Harry cleared his throat.

"Ok guys were going to be getting rid of Voldemort tonight, we know that he won't make a play for the stone yet he is still trying to throw Snape off the trail, so here's what were going to do"

That night Harry and Hermione waited outside on the grounds near Hagrid's hut, close enough so he could see them but not close enough for anyone to be suspicious.

"Ready?" Harry asked, Hermione smiled and nodded her head.

"Good because there he is now" Harry said motioning his head to see the defence Professor coming down the steps to greet them.

"Mr. P-p-p-Potter, Miss G-g-g-g-ranger, I received y-y-y-our m-m-message; w-w-what c-c-an I d-d-d-o for y-you?" The stuttering Professor asked.

"Well Professor we were visiting with our friend Hagrid when we happened to come across something strange on the outskirts of the forest we thought it best to come to you after all you are the defence expert here" Hermione calmly explained.

The Professor nodded and motioned with his hands for them to lead the way, a few minutes' walk and they arrived at their location. Quirell looked around and saw nothing but a box on the floor.

"B-best S-s-stand b-b-ack" He said withdrawing his wand, Harry and Hermione nodded and stood well back.

Quirell slowly advanced towards the box and pulled it open slowly what was inside made him incredibly angry, for inside was the Gaunt ring clearly without the horcrux his master had implanted into it.

"Sorry Professor but we knew we couldn't do this in the castle given what is hidden inside which you currently seek" Harry mocked. Quirell turned to face them his face devoid of expression.

"Well Mr. Potter seems you are privy to information that is beyond your concern, how you knew about the stone or this ring is irrelevant all that matters is that for your nosey tendencies you must die" He sneered, Harry heard the all too familiar voice.

"Let me speak to him" The voice of Voldemort rasped.

"Master you are not strong enough"

"I have strength enough for this" Voldemort hoarse voice replied; Quirell proceeded to unravel the turban and reveal the face of Lord Voldemort.

"Harry Potter, we meet again"

"Yes it would appear so and were meeting under cheesy movie lines so allow me to reply the same" Harry said before adjusting his school tie and brushing dust off his shoulders.

"The names Potter. Harry Potter" Harry said in his most suave voice Hermione scoffed and swatted his arm

"You secret agent you" She said not daring to take an eye of Voldemort.

"Oh I see you have fallen for a mudblood Potter, just like your father, you will do as I say or she will die" Voldemort sneered. Hermione scoffed.

"Hang on a minute do I have a sign on my head saying damsel in distress come and save me? No I didn't think so; I'm more than capable to look after myself. Tom" Hermione replied.

"You dare call me by my filthy father's name?"

Hermione sighed "You don't get it do you? A name is just a name, Look at me I was named after a character in a Shakespeare play and I don't let it bother me. But you, you seem to think that if you change your name you change who you are. It's not who you are underneath, but what you do that defines you"

Harry absorbed everything Hermione had said but knew it would fall on death ears, Tom was simply too stubborn to accept the word of anyone else.

"You words are pointless mudblood for you shall still die here tonight" Tom sneered as Quirell's wand was raised. Harry stepped forward.

"You know I'm going to give you one simply piece of advice tom. Never insult Hermione Granger in front of me!" With that both Harry and Hermione raised their wands and yelled.

"EXPECTO PATRONUM!" Harry's stag burst from Harry's wand, Hermione was surprised when instead of an otter, a doe charged from her wand.

"What is this? No Quirell you fool retreat!" Voldemort yelled; however as the defence professor went to run he found himself stunned by two hidden figures.

"Get up you fool!" Voldemort yelled in pain

"It's no use Tom we know your secret and we know where they are all hidden; trust me when I say that we will destroy them all"

The patronus' continued to attack the spirit and both Harry and Hermione watched as the spirit shrink in size until it disappeared completely. Harry and Hermione hugged each other as the two figures behind the tree have revealed themselves.

"That went well" came the unmistakeable voice of Lily Potter as she approached her son and as good as daughter in law to wrap them in a hug.

"Yeah and here I thought we wouldn't get to do anything at all!" Sirius said as he emerged a few seconds later.

"Oh come on Uncle Padfoot you know I'm always agreeing to the idea of you doing work" Harry joked.

Flashback

"Ok here's my plan, Dad how quickly can you get Uncle Sirius up here?" Harry asked

"He's only a mirror call away why do you ask?" His father replied, Harry smiled

"I'm going to need his help, well me and Hermione will, were going to lure Voldemort into a trap and show him a destroyed horcrux, however we know from experience that when he knows he is losing he will try to retreat, so I'm going to need Mum and Uncle Sirius in the tree's hidden from his sight to stun Quirell if he attempts to run" Harry explained. James looked confused.

"Why can't I just do that son?" He asked, Hermione answered the question for Harry.

"Because you have a job interview with Professor McGonagall for the sudden opening of Defence against the Dark Arts Professor, We spoke to Professor Flitwick who explained to Professor McGonagall that you were already here so the letter didn't need to be sent out"

James laughed "You two are going to give the Marauders a real run for their money" Lily's reply firmly shut James up

"If I know my son and Hermione, then not only are they going to match the Marauders but they will make the Marauders seem like child play"

James could do nothing but agree.

AN: Sorry about the delay again guys and gals but unfortunately I cannot ignore the real world responsibilities I have.
