Chapter 3: Reunited

James's P.O.V

We heard footsteps and voices leading up to the door. "Hermione! Why are we here! I wanna sleep!" I guessed that was Harry. I looked at Lily. She had tears in her eyes. "Yeah, it's more like sleep with my sister!" Ron teased. Harry shut up immediately. "Harry" Hermione said sternly "What you're going to see is going to shock you and for their safety we need your wand." "But Hermione!" Harry whined "What if they're Death Eaters?" "Harry I assure you they're not. Now your wand!" We heard shuffling and they opened the door. Next to Ron there was a young man with messy scrawny black hair like mine. He wore round glasses and was short and skinny. His eyes were bright green just like Lily's and at once I knew this was Harry. My son. He stood there staring at us until he gritted his teeth and spoke. "You're not real. You're all dead. Hermione give me back my wand!" "Harry there real!" Hermione answered. "No they're bloody not! I've lived my whole life without parents and they choose to come back NOW?" Sirius walked over to him. "Harry we're real. We don't know how or why this happened but I assure you." "NO! I saw you die! You fell through that bloody veil! Y-You died! And it was all my fault!" Harry stammered. Sirius shook his head. "None of it was your fault. I decided to help you. I gave my life so you could live. I wanted you alive. I wanted you to defeat Voldemort and then live a normal life." As soon as Sirius finished he turned into his animagus form and pounced onto Harry. Harry laughed and patted the dog on the head. He looked at us before whispering "Mum? Dad?" I nodded my head and Lily ran to hug him. We held him in our arms as I remembered Harry as a tiny baby laying in my arms with the tiniest bit of black hair. Now he was so grown up. He was 17 and we had missed 16 years of his life.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. "Harry?" a voice asked. Harry opened the door to reveal a girl with bright red hair just like Ron's.. "What are you doing?" Harry questioned. "Harry, why does it say that James and Lily Potter and back from the dead?" "What does what say?" Harry pressed on. "The marauders map! You were gone for a long time and I wondered where you were so I found it in Hermione's beaded bag!" The Marauders Map? The one we made? "Wait you mean the actual Marauders Map?" I blurt out. The red-headed girl looks behind Harry and screams. "Harry! Y-You're PARENTS!" "I know Gin," Harry replied. "I think you missed me Ginny," Sirius says, jumping up and down. "What's happening Harry?" the girl called Ginny exclaimed. "I don't know how they came back to life but" Harry says turning around "Ginny I'd like you to meet my parents and mum and dad this is Ginny, my girlfriend." I can see Harry blushing a bit. Lily and I smile at Ginny and she awkwardly smiles back. "Well," Minnie says, breaking the silence "You'll have to stay somewhere for a few nights. We don't have any other accommodations so we may as well alert the rest of the wizarding world your back." We followed Minnie out of the room and made our way to the Great Hall. People were whispering and looking at us shocked. "Is that?" "Yes it's Lily and James Potter!" "But how?" "I thought they were dead?" "They've been dead for 16 years!" "It's Sirius Black!" "The mass murderer?" "They say he's innocent!" "But everyone knows he died in the Ministry of Magic." Minnie made her way to the podium as I scanned my eyes across the room. There I saw familiar faces including the Weasley Family. They looked up at us in shock but one child had his head down. On the table lay a body. Dirty, bloody yet his red hair still shone. I noticed the kid who had his head down was his twin. One of them was dead. My eyes raced across the room again looking at more faces and bodies when... Moony. He lay there motionless, eyes closed and his hand clasping a young woman's hand beside him. I looked at Sirius. He too had spotted Moony. "No" Sirius whispered "No. Moony. Tonks." Tonks. I had heard that name before but had no idea who she was. Minnie stepped up to the podium and began. "The war we have all witnessed was brutal. Many died. Many injured. Yet here we all are standing. Alive. Those who died, passed in bravery. Hoping to ensure us a better future. But we would not be standing here if these 3 students hadn't gone on a hunt this year. Brace yourselves as we clap for Ronald Weasley." Clapping and some yells. "Hermione Granger." The clapping and the yelling kept going. The Great Hall went quiet. "And last but not least Mr Harry Potter for finally defeating the Dark Lord." A loud roar erupted as people stood up to clap for Harry. I felt proud standing there. My son was the one to kill Voldemort and people were there celebrating. Minnie held up a hand and the hall silenced. "I have another announcement to make. Today I have been informed that 3 specific people who were known to be dead have come back to life. As you probably have seen, Lily Potter, James Potter and Sirius Black have been raised from the dead. I have had them prove that they're who they are. We have no idea what happened-" But Minnie was cut off as the Great Hall's door flew open revealing a person who was not mistaken to be Albus Dumbledore.
