Back In Time To Save The Marauders

My Son?

"Harry Potter?" James asked faintly, sitting down on the sofa behind him with a whoomph. "But that's, that's not possible!"

Dumbledore smiled slightly at his old student, eyes twinkling over his half moon specs. "Why ever not, my boy?"

"Because, because," James shot a glance at the door, through which Lily had gone through when she left to make tea. Luck seemed to be on his side, though, as his wife swung the door open with her foot and placed the tea tray on the coffee table. 

"What's wrong, Jamie?" She asked, looking from her husband, to Dumbledore, to the children still standing around. "And take a seat you lot, don't be shy." 

She handed out the teas and biscuits, before perching on the arm of the sofa James was sat on. She looked around expectedly, raidsing her eyebrows. 

"Lily," Dumbledore began, breaking the silence once more. "I leave these five in your trusted care - they have been proven to be who they say they are and they shouldn't stay long. Perhaps you might find one or two stories they have to tell quite ahem interesting, shall we say?" He smiled at her before turning and looking at the rest of them. "I should be on my way, I'm meeting Minerva for tea. Thank you for the hospitality Lily, James, and I shall see you all soon, no doubt."

He stood and made his way to the fireplace, pulling some green floo powder out of his pocket as he went. Within seconds, he was gone and an awkward silence reigned. This time it was broken by Hermione. She gave a small cough before speaking. 

"Mr. and Mrs. Potter? I think we should explain."

"That would be for the best, yes," James agreed. "Considering you have a boy with you who looks just like me, has my surname and has the first name of our child should we have one and should it be a boy."

Fred laughed. "You do." George continued. "It is." 

Harry spoke next. "Excuse me? It is. He is here y'know."

The twins grinned at each other.

"Is he?" Fred asked George, looking too suprised for it to be true.

George peered around, exxagerating his movements. "Why yes, I believe that is him!"

Fred stared closely at Harry too. "Oh yes, look you can see his scar!"

Then at the same time they said, "Scrawny, specky git, isn't he?"

Hermione and Ginny were chuckling, but Harry just stared at them, unimpressed. "We were explaining why we are here and all that weren't we?"

Lily spoke up for the first time then.  "I think that would be for the best." 

"We are from the future. Nearly twenty years into it. You are my mother," He turned to James. " And you are my father. You die to protect me, and you are not the only ones. We came back in time because we have learnt what needed to be done to kill Voldemort and we are going to do it. "

Lily was crying, and James pulled her to him, looking as if his world had just crumbled to pieces.

"If we die, who raises you?" He manadged to choke out. 

Harry sighed. "Petunia." He didn't dare look at his parents for a couple of seconds, but (after some mental prodding from Ginny) he did. His mother looked furious, whilst his dad just looked angry. 

"They treated you alright, though, didn't they? No calling you freak and- and things like that?" 

If the situation hadn't been so serious, he would have laughed at his mother's comment. Instead he replied equally seriously. "They could have treated me worse."

Lily looked like she was about to continue, but James spoke before she did. "Where was Sirius? Where was Remus? And Pete?"

Harry didn't know what to say, but luckily, Hermione did. 

"They were all in a place where they shouldn't have been."

James frowned at her, looking quite angry. "What's that supposed to mean?"

 He was going to speak more, but Harry and Ginny yawned in synch (which was pretty creepy) and Lily decided that they were all going to bed as it was, after all, very late at night, and they had come a long way.

For the first time he could remember, Harry was wished goodnight by his parents, and kissed on the cheek. It felt amazing to feel loved.
