A Mothers Love

Chapter 9: The Terrible Price

As soon as Harry had fallen unconcious, he found himself once again in #4 Privet Drive. He was about ten years old.

"Wake up!" A sharp voice demanded.

Harry was confused, since when did he live with his aunt? Harry lifted his head, but it met the celing. It was with a jolt Harry realized he was sleeping under the stairs!

Throughout the day his aunt and uncle put him to work as a servant boy. Harry finally got the courage to ask where his parents were.

"They died in a car accident! Your lazy father was driving drunk to get away from you!" Aunt Petunia shrieked.

"What about Mummys friends? Padfoot and Moony?" Harry whimpered.

"They had no friends now stop asking questions!" Petunia barked.

Harry was getting mad, what did he do to be stuck in this hellhole? "I miss my mum and dad." Harry whimpered.

Harry began to murmer in his sleep. "No, please!"

A nurse had alerted Mei and she came in. Curious, she dived into the boys mind surprised to find him in a Muggle stinkhole.

"Harry, this isnt real." Mei said in a soft voice.

"Who are you?" Harry asked

"Its alright. You can leave if you take my hand." Mei stuck out her hand and guided Harry out.

Wary Harry took it as the woman lead him out. He found himself in a hospital bed. "Wheres Mum?" He asked fearfully.

Mei hesitated then smiled, "She is on her way, Harry."

Just then Mei heard the sound of Apperation. She came out to find the concerned redhead
"Lily! Harrys awake and is asking for you."

"Thanks Mei. Is he ok?" Lily asked in a rush.

"He is but.." Mei trailed off.

"Yes?!" Lily was getting all the more worried.

"He's been having nightmares. Apparently he thinks hes with the Dursleys again." Mei finished.

"What did I do?!" Lily moaned. She knew if she saved her, and her husbands lives, a price needed to be paid. Lily gladly acepted given how she also saw where Harry would grow up. But she had no idea how the sin of the mother would affect the son.

Lily plastered a smile on her face and walked into Harrys room. "Mum! I thought you had left me!" Harry exclaimed.

Lily went over to her son and hugged him tightly. "I will never leave. I will always be there for you. Now tell me about your dream."

"I lived with my Muggle aunt and U
uncle. They told me you and Dad died in a car crash and they turned me into a servant boy." Harry began to cry.

"Shh...its ok. The nightmare is over now. You will never have to see them again. I promise you. Now, I have some research to do, nut I will ve back in a few hours ok, honey?" Lily kissed his forehead.

"Ok Mum, thanks." Harry laid back down and sighed.

Lilys POV

I was beyond freaked out. How was Harry getting memories of his other life? There was only one thing to do; go to Hogwarts. I had a bunch of researching to do. Im hoping to open a portal to the other dimension where Harry lived a life of pure hardship. If I van get that Harrys memories and put them in my Harry, my son wont be so badly affected anymore.

"Minnie, I need to come to Hogwarts. I hope you dont mind." I sent sparky off.

Not ten minutes later Angie returned.
"You are welcome any time Lily. Come through my fireplace."

I ignited the closest fireplace and stepped through. "Minnie! Thank you. I have to speak with Albus, its urgent!"

Minnie looked at me worried, "Lily, what is going on?"

"Look, I really cant explain it right now, but I have to go." I left for Albus' office at once.

"Oh Godric, ok think sweets. Licorice wands! Sherbert Lemon!" I yelled as the staircase appeared. Quickly I knocked on the door.

"Come in Lily."

"Headmaster, I need to talk to you about my..."

"Seer abilites? Ah yes, I knew you would be coming to me soon. Tell me, has Harry expetienced any nightmares?" Albus looked up to see my jaw on the floor.

"Why Albus why? Harry never even lived that life!" I demanded.

"Because the other Harry is yearning to know you. Hmm...I can give you a spell that will allow you to enter the other Harrys dream and get all the memories you need. You need to pick what date though." Albus brgan writing.

Suddenly, I got another vision, it showed the key to bringing down Voldemort and it happened in 1998. Oh Merlin 6 years from now?

"Lily?" Albus asked.

I came to on the floor, apparently I had collapsed, no surprise there. "Horcruxes." I whispered.

"Excuse me?" Albus' voice was icy.

"Voldemort made 6 Horcruxes. They are tethering him to life as we speak. I know what they are, but not how to destroy them."

"Findefyre, or basilisk venom." Albus replied.

I sighed, "Thats incredibly tricky. The last basilisk known to have exusted died 4 years ago." I sighed defeated.

"Work on finding the Horcruxes first then we can destroy them." Albus advised.

"Ok I know where 5 are. One is here, in the castle." I said abruptly.

"Oh?" Albus asked.

"I will be the one to find these items and Harry, Neville and I will destroy them." I said firmly.

"Why you three?"

"Because Harry and I escaped death and Neville was the other boy the Prophecy talked about. It only makes it right." I shrugged.

Albus sighed, "i see."

"I will be back." I smiled turnibg ftom the office. I went to the ROR and asked to hide something. If my vision was correct, I'd find the diadem on top of a marble bust.

I waved my wand making sure no objects tumbled on top of me.  Finally after 2 hours of searching, I found the crown with dark blue sapphires. I picked it up and left the room.
