As the dust from the graves settled, the seventeen figures gathered in a tense circle, each one trying to come to terms with the extraordinary situation. It was time for introductions, and Harry stepped forward first.

Harry Potter: "My name is Harry Potter. I am 60 years old. I am married to Ginny Potter, née Weasley. I am the father of James, Albus, and Lily Luna Potter, who is now Lily Luna Scamander. I am the proud grandparent of five. I am the first person to survive the Killing Curse twice."

Lily's eyes filled with tears as she took in the enormity of their loss—her son's entire adult life had passed without them. James's face mirrored her shock, realizing they had missed witnessing Harry's milestones: his marriage, the births of his children, and their growth.

Ginny Potter: "I'm Ginny Potter, née Weasley. I'm married to Harry Potter, and I'm the mother of James, Albus, and Lily Luna. I am a journalist for the Daily Prophet and have been involved in various magical organizations to support the wizarding community."

Hannah Abbott: "I'm Hannah Abbott, Neville Longbottom's wife. I'm 60 years old and work as a magical healer. We've built a life dedicated to helping others and raising our son, Frank."

George Weasley: "I'm George Weasley, twin to Fred. I'm 69 years old and married to Angelina Johnson. We have two children: Fred&Roxanne. I run Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes and have been keeping the spirit of my family alive through our joke shop."

Lily's heart ached for the family that had been left behind, knowing they had missed George's contributions and joys.

Angelina Johnson-Weasley: "I'm Angelina Johnson-Weasley. I'm 68 years old, married to George Weasley. I've been working as a professional Quidditch player and later as a coach. We have two children: Fred & Roxanne"

Victoire Weasley: "I'm Victoire Weasley, the eldest child of Bill and Fleur Weasley. I'm 29 years old and work as an Auror. I've followed in my parents' footsteps, though in a different way."

Lily felt a bittersweet sense of pride for Victoire, understanding that her family's legacy had continued.

As each introduction concluded, the air was thick with emotion. The returnees—James, Lily, Remus, and Tonks—stood in stunned silence, absorbing the realization of the lives and families they had missed. Harry and the others watched them, each one grappling with the overwhelming sense of reunion and loss. Despite the shock and sadness, there was a glimmer of hope that perhaps, against all odds, they could find a way to bridge the gap of the years lost and forge new memories together
