Harry Potter was in shock from horror at what he had just witnessed.

The rebirth of Lord Voldemort. And now was stronger than ever before.

"Harry Potter, you will not stand in my way this time, for now that your blood now presides in my veins, there is nothing to stop me from killing you this time." Voldemort said.

Harry just managed to get free from the bones that were holding him captive, but before he could reach his wand, Voldemort pointed his own wand at him and said "Avada Kedavra."


When Harry opened his eyes after he was hit by the killing curse, he was confused by his surroundings.

"Am I dead?" Harry wondered aloud.

"No but you are close enough to it that we can communicate to you for a short period." Said a strange, yet somehow familiar voice.

Harry turned to see his parents floating towards him.

"Mum, Dad?" Harry asked

"Harry, you must wake up. You must finish this battle. You must warn Dumbledore." His father said as they began to float away as Harry could feel himself waking up.

"No please, come back." Harry shouted, grabbing his parents' hands as if that would somehow bring them back to.


The whole fake moody situation from Goblet of Fire has just ended and now Harry is sitting in the headmaster's study sitting in front of Professor Dumbledore and next to his godfather, Sirius Black, telling them exactly what had happened at the graveyard.

"You saw your parents." Dumbledore said.

"For a few moments sir. I grabbed onto their hands and tried to pull them back with me. I couldn't lose them again." Harry said.

Sirius smiled sadly at his godson and said "Harry, I know this must be hard for you, but unfortunately, your parents are gone and there is nothing that can change that. I promise you if I could bring James and Lily back to you, I would do so in a heartbeat."

"I know Sirius, but still, even after all these years, it's hard for me accept that they really are gone for. And after what happened earlier tonight, the pain feels fresh and new." Harry said.

"Just out of curiosity Harry, why did you try to pull them back with you?" Dumbledore asked.

"Because I can't stand the Dursleys anymore. I want to live with people who actually care about me. I wanted my real family back." Harry said.

"Sirius, please escort Harry to the Hospital wing. I need to take some time to come up with a proper response for what Harry has told me." Dumbledore said.

Sirius nodded as he turned into a dog and walked out of the headmaster's study with Harry.


The day before the last day of the term, Dumbledore called Sirius back to his study.

"You wanted to see me Albus?" Sirius asked.

"Yes, Sirius, I have a very special mission for you. One that will greatly effect Harry's life for the better." Dumbledore answered.

"What is it?" Sirius asked.

"Do you remember what Harry told us the night Voldemort returned? About his parents?" Dumbledore asked.

"Of course." Sirius responded.

"Well I believe that when Harry's consciousness grabbed his parents' spirits, they sensed his desperation and need for them to live again, so they actually allowed him to pull them back into the land of the living. However, they still needed time to heal, but now." Dumbledore said.

"You think James and Lily are alive again." Sirius said.

Dumbledore nodded and said "You promised Harry you'd do anything to bring his parents back to him. Now's your chance to make good on that promise."

Sirius nodded and said "So what do you need me to do?"

Albus smiled pulled 4 objects from within his robes.

"You have Veritaserum, to confirm that they really are James and Lily Potter, the antidote and 2 portkeys, one to take you to where the Potters are buried and one to bring you back here." Dumbledore said.

Sirius nodded as he took items and was almost immediately whisked away to the cemetery in Godric's Hollow, in front of the tombstone that read here lies James and Lily Potter.

Sirius knew he had to be quick, so he simply pulled out his wand and unearthed the coffins and opened them to reveal that Dumbledore was right.

James and Lily were some sort of magical slumber, but nonetheless, they were alive, once again.

Sirius pointed his wand at them and said "Rennervate."

Immediately, both James and Lily's eyes opened.

"What happened?" James asked when he noticed Sirius.

"Sirius, what is going on?" James asked as his best friend helped him and his wife up.

"It's a long story that I'll tell you later, but right now, Dumbledore said you need to drink this to confirm you are James and Lily Potter." Sirius said, handing each of them the Veritaserum.

Both James and Lily looked confused by this, but since Dumbledore suggested they do it, they decided to just drink the potion.

"What are your first last names and Lily, both married and maiden name?" Sirius asked

"My name is James Potter." James said.

"My married name is Lily Potter and my maiden name is Lily Evans." Lily said.

Sirius grinned as he gave each of them the antidote to the truth potion and then pulled out the second portkey.

"This portkey will take us straight into Dumbledore's study. He'll explain everything there." Sirius said.

James and Lily nodded as they put their hands on the boot that was the portkey right as it went off, taking them back to Hogwarts.


When they arrived, James and Lily found Albus Dumbledore waiting for them.

"Professor, what is going on and why did Lily and I just wake up in the middle of a graveyard?" James asked.

"I promise I will answer all of your questions, but first, I have one of my own for you. What is the last thing you remember?" Albus said.

"The last thing I remember is dueling Voldemort when that piece of shit Peter Pettigrew sold us out to him. Then there was a flash of green light." James said.

"I remember hearing James tell me to run and get Harry out of there. Then I heard Voldemort kill him. I tried to beg Voldemort to let us be, but he refused. I remember putting myself between Harry and Voldemort and then there was a flash of green light." Lily said.

"Voldemort killed us didn't he?" James asked

"Yes he did." Dumbledore said.

"What happened to Harry? Is he okay? Where is he now?" Lily asked worriedly for her son.

"Harry survived and is now known as the boy who lived. You 2 have been dead for 13 years. Harry is 14 now and is actually here at Hogwarts right now." Dumbledore said.

"Who raised him if we were dead?" James asked, looking at Sirius hopefully.

Sirius shook his head sadly and said "If I could've raised Harry, I would've, but since everyone else believed that I betrayed you and that I murdered Wormtail, which I unfortunately didn't, I was sent to Azkaban."

"Than who raised him?" Lily said before noticing the way both Sirius and Dumbledore were avoiding making eye contact with them.

"Albus, where did Harry grow up?" James asked.

"I'm sorry, but after Lily was murdered, Harry was given the most powerful protection against Voldemort and his followers, protection I knew would be strongest if he lived with people who carried had the same blood as him and as Lily." Dumbledore said.

"But my parents died 2 years before Harry was born." Lily said

"I know that." Dumbledore said

"But the only other person with my blood is." Lily said

"I am sorry, but I had no choice but to put Harry with the Dursleys. While it kept him safe from Voldemort and his followers, but Harry was still far from safe. You know what your sister is like." Dumbledore said.

"I understand why you did that, even if I don't like or agree with it." Lily said.

"Can we see Harry now?" James asked.

"Not yet. Dinner should be letting out soon and I'll have Harry come up here then to see you. I promise." Dumbledore said.

James and Lily nodded, since they had waited 13 years to see their son. Sure it had been because they were dead, but still they could wait a little longer.
