When the parents entered the main entrance, all their children came running to meet them. Hermione was the first to meet them and said, "What do you think of the building?" Mrs Granger said, "It's beautiful, but why did Dumbledore allow this to happen?" Hermione replied, "I haven't got a clue. I have been wondering." Petunia saw Dudley and gave him a huge hug. She said, "This place is better than I thought possible." Vernon asked, "Who is this girlfriend you want to introduce us to?" Dudley went shy and called over Susan. She appeared right away and said, "Yeah Dudley? How can I help you?" Dudley replied, "These are my parents." Petunia and Vernon said, "Lovely to meet you." Ralph went up to Harry and said, "Hey son how are you doing?" Harry said, "Great dad! Glad you could make it." Albus wandered over and said, "Hello, I am the headmaster. What's your name?" Ralph said, "My name is Ralph Ryder. I am the father who got James pregnant." Dumbledore was surprised and said, "Wonderful to meet you." Harry said, "Come on dad, I want you to meet Professor Slughorn and his wife." They both walked to the professor's office. Ralph said, "I didn't know that Horace got married?" Harry replied, "Yeah that was my biggest shock this year." Ralph asked, "But the only witch Horace liked was Lily?" Harry replied, "That means Geraldine is Lily! Oh my god!" Ralph said, "I have an idea to reveal whether it is Lily." Harry was interested and asked, "How? Please tell me." Ralph said, "I am going to do something to remind Horace of teaching me and also of what Lily did to show her affection towards Horace." Harry couldn't wait to see the surprise. They arrived at the door and knocked. Horace opened the door and said, "Harry, please come inside with your friend." They walked inside and sat on the couch. Ralph said, "I am Ralph Ryder, Harry's father." Horace was shocked and said, "Great to meet you." Geraldine whispered to Horace and asked, "How is he alive?" Horace said, "Dumbledore's not so stupid as to put him in Hogwarts." Harry said, "I think they know who you are." Ralph replied, "I highly doubt that." Horace asked, "What brings you boys here?" Ralph replied, "I have a gift for you and Geraldine." Ralph presented Horace with some Turkish delights and said, "I believe these are your favourite?" Horace said, "Yes they are, how did you know?" Ralph said, "Intuition." Horace couldn't believe what he said and wasn't one hundred percent sure so he just watched what happened next. Ralph went over to Geraldine and presented her a Lily flower and magically turned it into a goldfish and conjured a bowl. Geraldine was speechless and asked, "How do you know how to do that trick?" Ralph replied, "My boyfriend James told me of this special moment." Geraldine said, "It is you, Tom Riddle? How the heck did you get past Dumbledore?" Ralph replied, "Simple. My question is, how did you get past Dumbledore?" Geraldine looked guilty and said, "Okay, you got me, well worked-out." Harry was super excited and said, "Wow, it's an honour to meet you god mother." Lily was so happy. She hugged her god son and replied, "Trust me I have been waiting for this day." Tom asked, "Lily do you know where James is?" Lily said, "I have no clue. Last thing I remember of that was your patronus going away and hiding." Tom replied, "That means James is safe."
Suddenly Severus and Lucius wandered inside. Severus asked, "Who the heck is Ralph?" Harry replied, "He's Tom in disguise." Then Tom revealed himself and said, "Great to see you again loyal followers." Lucius was shocked, "Wow this is incredible, why are you here?" Tom replied, "Looking for James." Dumbledore was listening at the door and walked inside and calmly asked, "All this time you were looking for James?" Tom said, "Yeah, where is he?" Albus said, "I wish I knew. The only reason I put you, James and Lily in danger was because I thought their son would be too powerful."  Harry was surprised and said, "Well, I haven't gone power-mad. I just want my mother back,"  Lucius asked, "I thought Tom and Peter were in a relationship?" Tom replied, "No. but that explains something. Maybe Peter knows where James is."
