Chapter 11
Of course the stadium started to fill with students that had noticed the activity going on plus the many little dragons with a Catherine wheel joining them. Every time they hit each other they morphed into a large and small donuts, piglets and goblins with clubs.
No one was sure what the score was they were having so much fun switching Harry's and Hermione's broom for their own, casting other spells on each other and trying to dislodge a person from their broom. Harry had to help Hermione when she found herself hanging by her knees on her broom.
James found his own broom emitting small silver and green stars that were blowing into his face making it hard to see the others or a Snitch.
Several below wondered briefly and continuously even more then that why James Potter and Lily Evans continue to call the older boy their son, although they had to admit he looked just like James, just older by a few years.
Most assumed he was James older brother and it was some odd inside joke.
At this point no one had a clue what the score was, everyone was tossing spells at the opposing team, swiping the better brooms from each other and trying to take out the Keeper. Peter had found himself the target by his own team members leaving him puzzled why they would hit the Bludger at him. No one told him that it was he Peter who had hurt so many in their lives and ended Lily and James life at a young age.
After a while Harry had his Firebolt back once more. he was streaking though the air after the Snitch, it was then he found himself several yards away on a very old shooting star, lumbering along a lot slower than he was used to, he looked around in time to see his father catching the Snitch laughing hysterically holding it up. Harry yelled Accio Snitch; it zipped from his father's hands to his own.
"Look who has it," Harry bellowed laughing. Hermione hurried over hugging him tight kissing him.
James turned around to see his son laughing hard holding the snitch in his hand.
He burst into laughter with everyone else; it was they had to admit a very fun game.
They all slowly sunk to the ground laughing hugging and cheering loudly.
"That was great," James hugged Harry, happily, "you are a superb player son," James looked at him proudly, a few tears gathering in his eyes.
"You were amazing Harry," Lily hugged him next, her own tears welling up in her eyes. "I just wish…."
"What mom?" Harry asked looking concerned. Snape slipped his arm around her waist.
"Don't worry love, I'll always be yours," He whispered softly. She burst into tears taking him into her arms holding him tightly.
"Uh," Harry looked concerned at his mother then father. He had no idea why his mum was so close to professor Snape since it didn't seem that way in the memories he had received from his professor. He did wonder if maybe a lot of memories were left out.
"It's ok Harry; she's umm in love with…" James waved a hand lifelessly at the two.
"Oh, I didn't realize, I knew he was in love with her but I didn't know she returned it," Harry told him feeling very awkward now.
"You knew" James forgot his pain at seeing Lily snuggled up and kissing Severus by this odd announcement.
"Well yeah before I fought with Tom Riddle, I had seen his memories, he umm gave them to me it was planned between him and Dumbledore for me to learn the truth,"
"The truth but what truth was that?" James asked turning away from Lily and Severus.
It was too painful to see that, Sirius and Remus walked over placing their hands on his shoulder. They knew it was hurting him to not have Lily's love the way Severus did.
"Why Dumbledore trusted professor Snape when no one else did, he gave them to me just before…." Harry didn't want to tell him it was just before he died in the Shrieking Shack.
Lily looked around at Harry her eyes staring into his green eyes that were just like her own.
"Harry I'd like to come to your time, I want to see you growing up, since I miss….it,"
"Sure mum I'd love it," Harry smiled at her. She walked over to them still holding on to Severus, but she gave James a comforting patting on his back, James looked at her grateful.
"Lily could we speak first," James asked softly.
"Of course James," Lily took his hand leading him away. The others watched wondering what was going on with them.
"What is it hon," Lily asked trying to come to grips with the fact she would be married to a man she didn't love right now.
"Are you sure it's a good thing to go into the future, I mean I want too as well but… what if we see things that… keeps us from…."
"James, I saw the future with you, I see our son over there, I don't know when I fall in love with you but I obviously do at some point. I just want to see some of his life. I'm going to die young no matter what I do, so I might as well see something of his life before that time comes. It would be nice to know how we get together so that I don't chase you off too," she gave him a sad looking smile.
"I'd enjoy it myself, er I'd really enjoy seeing you in that umm outfit too," James wiggled his eyebrows up and down looking hopeful.
Lily laughed, "I'm sure we can make sure you see me in it," Lily took her wand out from her purse, waving it swiftly so that her clothes were gone to be replaced with the chain mail bra and small bikini bottoms. "Do you approve James," Lily asked cutely smiling up at him from lower eyelashes.
James said nothing his eyes glued to her body, his mouth unable to move.
"I shall take that as a yes," Lily waved her wand again her clothes were back on. James though stood still unable to move his eyes still popped open.
"Evans did you hex him?" Peter asked very concerned looking at James. He wanted to go over to James but Sirius had already warned him to stay away from them.
"What did you do?" Sirius asked walking over with everyone else looking at James he was still standing unable to move.
"Oh I showed him something," Lily smirked pleased. Hermione chuckled she had an idea what he was shown.
Harry looked around at her while Fred laughed out loud.
"You vixen you showed him that little outfit of yours,"
Severus looked sadly at her, "Did you Lil,"
She smiled sadly at him then nodded softly, "Please forgive me love," Lily went to him taking him into her arms kissing him desperately, "I'll make it up to you, tonight in our room, I'll make you beg for mercy,"
"No way love, you'll be begging me for mercy," Snape laughed holding her tightly. The two chuckled happily.
"I think the problem we have is the chain isn't large enough for all of us," Fred had pulled the Timeturner out from his shirtfront.
"Oh Fred that is easy to fix," Hermione held her hand out for it. Fred put it into her hand with raised eyebrows. She waved her wand in moments the chain was extremely large, enough for them all to stand in. Everyone slipped in under the chain talking excitably.
They moved to the future. They stopped so that Lily and James could see Harry as a toddler.
Lily watched with angry tears as her sister ignored him allowing him to sit in a play pen with her own son poking and prodding at him. Hermione quickly moved ahead so that James and Lily didn't murder her sister. They were not anymore pleased seeing Harry chased up a tree by a mean dog.
"That's Ripper, he belongs to Marge she is not a nice person." Harry grimaced seeing this from his older perspective.
Lily growled low under her breath then aimed her wand at the dog. He gave a sudden yelp then returned to his barking.
"What did you do?" Hermione asked curiously.
"I gave him a bad case of fleas." Lily grumbled.
The boys all laughed before they moved further into the future. James frowned watching as owl after owl was trying to deliver letters.
"What's going on?" Sirius asked finding it just as odd as James.
"I'm eleven and they do not want me to get that letter from Hogwarts." Harry told them with a smirk. "Didn't work, but soon that moron will usher us out the door to try and drive away from the owls and letters?"
They then moved up in time to see Fred, George and Ron in the ford breaking Harry out of his bedroom.
"You have freaking bars on your window?" Lily growled.
"Yeah they were a tad angry with me and wouldn't let me out of the room except for bathroom breaks trice a day."
"Twice but what if you needed more and what about food?" James and Remus asked looking horrified.
"A cat flap in the door allowed aunt Petunia to push small bits of food through." He shrugged since he was used to it.
Lily started gnashing her teeth in anger. "I am going to kill her, that bitch."
"Time to move on, Fred." Hermione to him not wanting Harry's mum in trouble.
"Let's go to the Tri Wizard Tournament?" Hermione suggested since at least he wasn't being abused by his aunt there.
They had first apperated to Hogwarts. Than they time travel to the right time. James, Sirius, Remus, Peter and Lily all cheered watching from the woods as Harry won against the Dragon. They moved ahead several months to watch him going into the lake first.
"Wow look at you Sev all grown up." Lily giggled taking his hand in her own.
"I look old and grumpy." He told her wondering why he looked so old.
"You are old and grumpy." Fred told him with a large smirk.
"Thanks I needed that." Severus chuckled.
They cheered listening to Dumbledore announcing the winners. "Fleur really liked me after that." Harry told them. He pointed out the pretty blonde.
"She looks like a Veela?" Severus observed.
"She is part Veela." Harry told him surprised he knew this.
"I hear they are beautiful until they get pissed." Remus mentioned looking at the young girl.
Harry and Hermione laughed. "They do get rather ugly." Harry told them.
"But when they aren't mad at you they are so nice." George chuckled.
"How bout we move on," Hermione suggested.
Fred turns the time turner so they moved to the last challenge. The Maze.
"What the hell happen to the Quiddich field?" Sirius, Remus and James all shouted as one looking at the large hedges growing in it.
"The final challenge, getting through the maze to get to the cup. It was not easy." Harry told them seriously.
Lily looked fearfully at him then the large maze. They watched as he and Cedric went in first. They waited with baited breath as first Krum was brought out the Fleur was brought out by the teachers until the maze was removed by Dumbledore. Lily gasped seeing Harry on the ground clutching a body.
"That's Cedric Diggory a very nice guy who… died because of Voldermort." Harry told them sadly.
They watched as mad-eye Moody took Harry with him to the school.
"Dumbledore and Snape and McGonagall were looking worried as they hurried to the school not much longer.
"I won but it was a high cost, I wish we hadn't won or trusted who we thought was Moody." Harry then had to explain that before they left to go into the future some more. They saw Umbridge going after Hagrid. It was all they could do to keep from attacking her right there and then. They moved on to see Harry as the captain of the Gryffindor Quiddich team. They cheered as the team won their first match. It was then they moved on to see Harry moving through places with Hermione and Ron trying to stay away from Voldermort. They went to Gringotts so they could see themselves escaping on the dragon.
James and his mates all cheered. Lily after watching for a moment in stun silence cheered as well. Severus watched wishing it was his son doing so many brave and heroic things.
"I wish we could have seen more of your life it seems so hard and also thrilling." James clapped Harry on the shoulder feeling very proud of him.
"Thanks dad, I wish you were there to see me grow up. To meet Sirius for the first time." Harry chuckled speaking softly to him. "I almost got ran over by the knight bus because of him."
"What how?" James asked.
"He had escape from Azkaban, and was in a large dog form nearly freaked me out seeing him in the dark alley."
James laughed looking over at Sirius.
"Shall we move on?" Lily asked wondering what they were talking about.
"Harry you need to tell me about Sirius spending time in Azkaban," James said as the time turner took them all away.
They stopped abruptly in Hogwarts ground, Sirius was looking at James then Harry, "I need to know this myself why the hell was I in Azkaban?"
"Murder," Harry said simply Hermione burst into laughter.
The others except for Fred and George were staring in shock at Harry.
"Who did I kill?" Sirius asked. He couldn't think of anyone beyond a few Death Eater and Voldermort that he would kill and end up spending time in the rat hole. Harry pointed at Peter. He took several steps backwards looking scared, Sirius blinked a few times before bursting into laughter.
"Yes I got revenge for you Prongs," They slapped each other's hands happily.
"No butt sex yes," James chuckled happily.
Peter looked very worried. He moved to stand behind Remus hoping to escape notice. Remus moved to get a better look at the girl running beside him out of the grounds.
"Wooo who is that cute girl with me," Lupin pointed out his older self with Tonks running along with him.
"That's Nymphadora Lupin," Harry replied, they all looked over at him.
"I have a little sister?" Remus asked his eyes wide his mouth hanging open. The four burst into laughter while the others all looked puzzled.
"She's your wife Remus," George laughed happily.
"My what?" Lupin asked astounded to look back at the young pretty girl she was working hard with his older self. "But she's so young, I look so old,"
"Yeah she had some time convincing you she didn't care how old you were she loved you, you also have a son named Teddy,"
"I WHAT?" Lupin screamed horrified, "My kind doesn't… it just doesn't," Remus retorted.
"She didn't care and he's a very cute baby with blue hair… or green, purple, orange whatever he seems to want,"
"My son, he…. Changes?" Remus asked softly feeling completely shocked.
"She's a metamorphous, and she's also an Auror," Hermione informed him.
"Way to go Moony, get a hot young talented wife when you're an old man," James laughed, slapping him on the back with Sirius, they loved this news.
"Where am I right now?" Snape asked. He was very curious about his life here.
"Probably out there with the other Death Eaters, at least for a while," Harry told him, 'Then you'll go to the Shrieking Shack," he knew he hadn't been there yet since it was after he returned he saw that Remus and Tonks were both dead.
"Why would I go there?" Severus looked at him curiously.
"Voldermort wants you for umm the elder wand," Harry told him softly.
"From the children's story," Snape asked walking toward the area where they could see several Death Eaters.
"Oh there I am who is that blonde?" Severus asked she was holding him in what look like a death grip.
"It looks like you got over me," Lily said with narrow eyes. She was trying to rein in her jealousy.
"Hell no," Snape told her taking her by the waist. "Never ever Lil,"
Lily snuggled up wishing things could be different for them.
"That's Narcissa Malfoy; look here comes, Lucius right now," Hermione pointed out to them.
"What the hell happened to him?" Snape asked the man looked beaten both in body and spirit.
"He ended up on the bad side of Voldermort," Harry informed him.
"Not the safest place to be," Snape muttered, watching as he left for the shack. It was odd watching his older self-walking off into the darkness.
"Good bye sir," Harry whispered softly.
"Harry what do you mean good bye sir?" Sirius asked standing next to him.
"He dies in the shack," Harry mumbled to him.
"Do I die here in the fight?" Sirius asked softly looking around for his older self.
"No you don't," Harry told him not wanting to tell him he died two years earlier.
"Well that's good to know, I hope I get a lot of these Death Eaters," he still looked around for his older self out there fighting.
It was not long after this they heard the announcement. They could hear Voldermort telling Harry to come to the woods in one hour.
They saw a couple of giants, several Death Eaters running through the grounds toward the Forest. "Wait a minute, what happens now?" James asked looking at his son.
"I went to see professor's memories then I go to face Voldermort in the forest.
"Alone," Lily looked scared for him.
"No mum I had the best company with me, I had you, dad, Remus and Sirius spirits…." Harry turned to look sadly at his godfather.
"You said I didn't die here," Sirius arched an eyebrow at him as though wondering if he was lying.
"You don't, you die two years earlier at a different battle," Harry told him softly.
Sirius blinked a few times, "So all us Marauders are reunited then,"
"Padfoot you forgot me," Peter whimpered.
"Oh well hmm yeah," Sirius said not to worried about Peter not being with them in death.
"Harry what happens to me?" Peter asked feeling hurt that he hasn't done much to help James. After all James meant the world to him.
"You die at the Malfoy's home when your silver hand strangles you,"
"Huh," Peter looked stunned. He looked down at his two flesh covered hands.
"You helped to bring Voldermort back to life, when you show me a little bit of mercy your hand turns on you and kills you,"
Peter looked around scared at the others before speaking, "but why would I joined you-know-who?"
"No clue I don't think anyone knows why you joined him, Sirius figured you did it because you liked to be around others who were stronger then you to protect you,"
"But why would I do that they are so strong and powerful. They always help me and keep me safe." He looked fearfully at James. "You know how I feel; I would never want to hurt James."
"But, what about my mum?" Harry asked softly.
He looked over at him guiltily.
"You know let's not worry about this right now let's figure a way to keep Voldermort from becoming so powerful." Hermione said not wanting to hear anymore of that.
"You mean like going back and getting rid of the Horcruxes before he kills my parents so that he really does die?" Harry looked at Hermione.
"Well yes going back in time but farther than that." She looked at him sheepishly.
"How far?" James asked eager to learn what she is plotting.
"I'd say before he is born." She grinned at Harry. "You know all about him we can go see his mum."
"Merope Gaunt?" Harry chuckled. Of course everyone started to ask him why he knew so much about Tom. He told them all he knew
"But how do we stop him from being born?" Remus asked curiously.
"Yeah it's not like we… but then again we could." Fred chuckled.
"Could what?" Severus asked with an arched eyebrow.
"Make it so that she is unable to get pregnant so even if we stop her from loving that guy she won't have a baby with anyone else."
"I know of a potion like that." Lily told the group.
Everyone looked at her with unmistakable curiosity.
"I had made it with my sister in mind and that buffoon she is dating." She gave a slight shrug unconcerned.
"Vernon?" Harry asked surprised.
"Uh no his names Mitchell Wheeler."
Harry looks surprised. "Well she married another guy."
"Oh good that is such a relief that guy was terrible. The way he treated her was so horrible." She felt better until she remembered how her sister treated her son. She then had to wonder what had made her sister so much worse then when they were kids.
"So how hard is the potion?" Snape asked.
"Very easy takes about twenty minutes to make and will utterly destroy their eggs or sperm which ever person drinks it. Nice part is it's tasteless and looks like water."
"Well let's get into the school and make it quickly." George told her.
They were all agreeable.
