Chapter 1| They're Back

Dedicated to icedteaconspiracy

It was a not so normal night at Godric's Hollow because two people found themselves awake from the dead.

"Why am I in a box... DAMN IT SIRIUS AND JAMES, Harry better not have a mohawk when I get..." Lily said but then trailed off when she remembered what had happened. She felt for her wand and blasted herself out of the box

"ugh, really Sirius?" James groaned. James then felt for his wand and blasted himself out as well.

When James got out he saw Lily crying. "What wrong Lily flower?" He asked concerned

Lily pointed at two tombstones. When James looked he saw their own graves. He was shocked and then he remembered what had happened, he remembered him telling Lily to take Harry and run. He remembered Voldemort killing him. He remembered the prophecy and how he was after... Harry, The word hit James harshly. His poor son... dead. His knees buckled and he sank to the ground, He and Lily silently grieved for their son. Suddenly James had an idea

"Lils," he said, "if we have come back wouldn't Harry be back too?" James asked eagerly.

Lily's eyes filled with hope and she said "maybe"

"We should go to Dumbledore's office, he would know what to do," James said and then they both apparated to Hogsmeade

Meanwhile At Privet Drive

"BOY" Vernon yelled

Harry came scampering to him knowing what he would get if he didn't.

"if they could just see the Boy Who Lived now" Harry thought sarcastically but went downstairs, he hoped that this beating wasn't that bad, his back was still sore from the last one, and he was pretty sure a few of his ribs were broken (from the dementor incident), luckily for him his uncle was in a good mood.

"We are going out tonight, none of your business where we are going but we will be coming back late, if I find even one thing out of place you'll wish you were never born," Uncle Vernon said fiercely

Harry just nodded not believing his luck. Uncle Vernon was satisfied with that answer and he left, but, not before giving Harry a quick punch in the face at which Dudley laughed. Harry held his face and went to the bathroom to check it. He groaned when he looked in the mirror, he had a big bruise on his eye, Harry sighed and thanked Merlin that he wasn't going to school soon or there would be some questions. Harry went upstairs to go sleep, he laid down for around half an hour but couldn't sleep since he was scared nightmares of Cedric were going to come back, Harry hadn't slept much since he came back for fear of the nightmares.

Harry then began to doze off, he suddenly woke up when he heard a sound coming from downstairs. Harry knew that the Dursley's couldn't possible by home by now so he went downstairs with his wand in case they were death eaters or worse. To his surprise when he went downstairs he saw a couple of people he knew. He didn't believe his luck so he had to make sure.

"What was one of the things you made in your school years, which you also took from me," Harry asked Remus with his wand pointing at Remus.

Remus smiled, proud that Harry was learning to be more aware and then said "The Marauder's Map" Harry was satisfied with the answer and then went towards Remus and hugged him. It was then that Remus had noticed the bruise on Harry's face.

"Harry, what happened to your face?" Remus asked concernedly

Harry was an expert in making excuses by now, but somehow he couldn't make one in front of Remus, but, he knew that he had to
