James informs Harry that they're not the only ones who were back from the dead.

"It's your grandparents and a few other friends of ours who had died before us when Voldemort was wreaking havoc before your mother and I died." Said James. "My grandparents?" asked Harry, who had perked up when he heard the term. "Yes Harry, your grandparents. Both mine and your father's." said a smiling Lily. "Can I meet them?" asked the younger Potter. "Sure you can." Said a voice from James and Lily. Harry saw four people standing behind his parents when he peeked. Rose Evans sat next her daughter while Dorea Potter went to sit next to her son. Their respective husbands stood behind them.

"Hello Harry. How are you feeling?" asked Rose. "My back is hurting. But nothing else grandmum." Said Harry honestly. She nodded and gave her grandson a hug. Dorea too gave her grandson a hug. "Harry, we heard your conversation with James and Lily. Don't worry. You'll know all about the Potters once we get back home." She said. "Yes Gran." Said a smiling Harry.

"Is it fine if I call both of you different? I mean..." he said hesitantly. But before he could continue, "Sure you can. I agree to calling us different just to know who's who." Said William Evans. The others nodded as James and Lily smiled. The family proceeded to talk about various things, ranging from what is happening in the Muggle World to Harry's godfather.

Harry was shocked when James told him about how Sirius had been incarcerated without a trial. "What's going to happen now? Is the Minister going to give him a trial?" asked Harry. "That's what is going on right now. Dumbledore has managed to get him one and is at the Ministry. He left immediately after you saw him here." Said Lily. Harry nodded at this. "What about the proof about Peter Pettigrew being the secret keeper?" he asked. "We have given a copy of our Will since there wasn't any registered with the Wizengamot and the said department had sealed our original one." Harry contemplated at this.

"But dad, I read in a book from the library that an Heir to any Ancient and Noble House will not be able to open the original Will until he or she turns seventeen. Does the Minister know that you're alive?" he asked nervously. "I bet Albus would have told him by now." said James as he cast the Tempus Charm. "And Sirius too would be here by now with Remus. Albus did tell that he knew where old Moony is." He said with a smile on his face. Harry and Lily too smiled.

"Who are the others who have come back?" asked Harry after a few moments of silence. "The McKinnons. They're our cousins. And Remus' parents too." Said James.
