Chapter 12  A new life for all.

The large group hurried toward the school figuring no one would notice some extra people running around here with all the commotion going on.

Remus felt like a large punch in his gut seeing his older self-lying dead on the floor next to the young woman.

“Don’t look Moony; we’ll keep this from happening.” James told him feeling sick as well seeing his friend lying dead. He told himself over and over it would not happen.

They hurried into the dungeons past several people mourning their loss of loved ones. Fred shuddered seeing his mother crying brokenly over his dead body.

Hermione took his hand giving his hand a squeeze. “It’ll work out honest.” She whispered to him not wanting to have anyone hear them or notice a second Fred.

They hurried down the steps to the dungeons. They burst into the potions classroom. Lily ran right to the private stores grabbing out many things before she hurried to a work bench.

Lily set to work right away while Severus assisted her. Hermione watched with an open mouth as the two worked so efficiently it made her very envious.

“Lily and Severus are the tops in potions, no one could beat them, especially Lily she’s amazing instinct she just knows it.” Remus told Hermione seeing her look of awe. Hermione moved closer to peek at the book she was working from. She frowned seeing something wrong.

“But the book says to brew it for three hours and your stirring clockwise, when it says turn counter clockwise.”

“Peh that books stupid, so many of the potions we’ve reworked to get much better results from them.” Lily dumped in some beetle legs. “We’ve also cut down the brewing time on them. The person who wrote it was an idiot. There are so many ways to make things better if you know your ingredients.” Lily had cut up a snake skin in record time dumping it in while Severus quickly stirred it.

Hermione looked over at Harry who was smirking openly at her. She stuck her tongue out when he laughed then started talking softly to James and Sirius. They all started to laugh soon after that.

Hermione figured she knew what they were laughing about and didn’t want to go over and get teased by them.

After twenty minutes had passed and Lily announced the potion perfect she bottles up several containers of her potion. “We should go outside in case we go back when a class in going. Slughorn would flip if we all appeared in here.” Severus told them.

“That would be such a laugh.” Sirius chuckled with Hermione giving him a swat on the arm. They noticed that many were trying to get more bodies inside and help in taking care of injuries. James sent a healing spell at a young girl crying in the corner. She gulped in surprise seeing her cuts vanish with no source of anyone healing her. She looked around but they were already out of the school running toward the woods before Harry came out and saw them there. They all hurried to the forest edge.

Hermione threw the chain around their necks.

“Ok we are going back.” Hermione turned a few extra knobs the large group hurtling to the past.

Once they arrived they looked around to see that Hogwarts did indeed look a bit different and the home of Hagrid’s was not there. Even the trees seemed smaller to them.

“So where do we go to find… er Voldermort’s mother?” Sirius looked around to see if he could tell any differences. “Hey that beech tree isn’t there.” He pointed to the spot by the lake that was void of any tree
