"Well, now that is all sorted. We have some people you would like to meet." Dumbledore said, and with a clap of his hands, the doors of the ROR swung open and revealed seven rather scared-looking children.
There was a girl with large front teeth and a mane of big, brown bushy hair; a boy with straight blonde, sleek hair and a pointed face; there were twins with identical red hair and freckles; there was a boy about the same height with freckles; a girl with long flaming red hair who was grasping the hand of a boy with jet black scruffy hair and emerald green eyes.
For some reason, the poor boy had a lone tear running down his face, and suddenly he broke down in a fit of sobs, the read-headed girl comforting him. "It's all right, it's all right, Harry, breathe. Breathe, okay love. Calm down. You're all right." She looked up at the people, "Well are you going to introduce yourselves, or are you just gonna stand there like morons."
The marauders instantly took a liking to her.
And she went back to comfort the boy who was strangely backing away with his round glasses askew and fixedly staring at two people in the room. James and Lily. They stared back but with their eyes full of curiosity but kindness as his were full of sadness, fear, and shock.
"I-I'm Hermione Jean Granger, muggle-born, 4th year," said the bushy-haired girl regaining her confidence.
"I'm Ronald Billius Weasley, Ron for short though, also 4th year" grinned one of the red-headed Boys that were not the twins.
"I'm Fred," said one twin,
"and I'm George, both 6th years" said the other.
"and that's our younger sister Ginny 3rd year" they finished in unison.
A few students snickered at that.
"and I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy pure-blood and heir to the Most Noble house of Malfoy," said the blondie.
"S-sorry everyone," came a small almost familiar voice out from the corner. Everyone instinctively looked towards James but he had said nothing.
"Don't be sorry, love you just freaked out that's all" said Ginny who was now pulling the last boy to his feet wiping his face as she did so.
Everyone's attention was now on the boy, his eyes still wet but his expression was less pained.
"I-I" he gulped.
"Take your time love"
"M-my name is H-Harry James P-potter, 4th year, half-blood," he mumbled to the floor. With a reassuring squeeze on his shoulder, he looked up at the faces around him. They all looked extremely shocked at the sudden arrival of these new additions to their group.
"See Gin, I told you they all hate me" he groaned and turned away, but she turned him back, just in time too.
WHAM
Suddenly, Harry felt two strong arms wrap around his skinny frame, crushing him in a huge warm embrace. He did his best not to flinch. Drawing back he had seen that it had been his father. James Potter who was never seen crying had tears in his eyes as he smiled joyfully at him. Standing next to them was Lily Evans in the same state.
The parents didn't know why their son was in tears, but they could tell he needed to be loved. So they did just that.
"Mum," he breathed and buried his head in her chest. She returned the hug instantly kissing the top of his head. She guided him to the floor where the happy united family sat crying in each other's embrace. All of the children sat with their parents, and Hermione sat happily between Sirius and Remus who instantly took a liking to her and began talking.
"Now that you've all finished your dramatic reunion, are any of you going to acknowledge the fact that these kids, books, and notes are from the future" came a cold drawling voice that could only belong to none other than Severus Snape.
The room quietened down.
"Snivellus, when will there be a time in which I will have the opportunity of casting a silencing charm on you?" asked Sirius in a mock-sweet tone. Severus snarled.
"I guess you'll be staying with us then, Black?"
"Snape, Black, enough. We are all here for much better reasons than to bicker" interjected Professor McGonagall.
"Thank you, Minerva, students from the future," said a soft booming voice. It was Dumbledore. "I believed you had asked us to read these rather long seven books. Am I right?"
"Yes, we want you to help us not get so many people killed. And not have such a miserable life," added Hermione, stopping her conversation with Remus and Sirius.
"Alright let's begin then," said James "let's do this quickly, the world needs us!"
Lily rolled her eyes.
