Lily and James Potter and the Life Back In Me
Summary-
This story was my first ever Fanfiction. The first ever version was dodgy and then was forgotten about until I made it more enjoyable and easier to read. Basically, the title says it all. Sirius, Dumbledore, Lily and James all come back to life when Harry goes to their last resting places to recover them from the death sleep they were put in to make everyone assume they were dead.
The Lively Spell
Albus Dumbledore was waiting for the Potter's to knock on his office door. He was not looking forward to the news he had to tell them. He waited with his eyes on a roll of parchment that he was writing on, but his ears were listening for even the faintest sound of movement outside his office door, then after a few minutes he heard a knock on his door.
"Come in," he said calmly, as he always did when there was a knock on his office door. He looked up just in time to see two people walk into the room. One was a very tall man, whose jet black hair stuck up very messily at the back of his head; he also had hazel eyes behind his glasses. This man's name was James Potter, who had been a rather mischievous student when he had been attending this school and he had visited this office many times during those seven years.
His wife Lily Potter who's last name was Evans before she had married James. She had been a student at the school as well and always did the right thing and followed all of the school rules, unlike James. She was a very pretty muggleborn witch, her had long, fiery red hair flowed over her shoulders and sometimes acted like a flame, she also had brilliant emerald green eyes. At the moment she was pregnant and was due to have a child in four months time.
"Take a seat," Dumbledore said, trying to sound as calm and happy as possible to see the two.
But the worry must have been in his voice because James had said: "What's the matter Professor?" Dumbledore looked down away from the faces of the couple in front of him.
"It's about Harry," Dumbledore said, looking up at the two. James and Lily looked at each other with worried and scared looks, and then they turned back to Dumbledore.
"What about Harry?' Lily said, scared of what she would hear.
"I am afraid to tell you two that you will have to-have to go into hiding," Dumbledore replied slowly looking into the faces of Lily and James.
"What has Harry got to do with us going into hiding, Professor?" James asked, sounding very concerned.
"Voldemort is planning to come after you-and the reason for that, I am afraid to say this-but Harry is the reason," Dumbledore replied, not looking very happy about telling them this news. The couple didn't wince at the sound of the Dark Lord's name, but they looked at each other with looks of worry on their faces.
"Why?" Lily said, looking back at Dumbledore, dreading of what the answer would be.
"There is a prophecy that says that the one who will have the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born on the thirty first of July," Dumbledore replied.
"That's the exact time Harry's due and that's the same with the Longbottom's son," James said, looking at Dumbledore with a serious face.
"Yes I do know that James," Dumbledore replied severely.
"But why can't their son do it?" Lily asked.
"Because Voldemort does not know the full prophesy and he has already chosen your son," Dumbledore replied, "The only person that is allowed to decide would be Voldemort, himself."
"Now, who would you like to be your secret keeper?" Dumbledore said, "Choose wisely because one of your friends, James, is not on our side at this very moment."
"Sirius," James said straight away, "He would never betray me."
"Are you sure James?" Dumbledore asked, surveying the man over the top of his half-moon spectacles.
"Sirius would die to save my life," James said, sounding really annoyed about having to say this.
"Besides there is a rule that us Marauder's must follow; that rule is: You must not betray another Marauder. No matter the consequences," James said.
"Of course," Dumbledore said smiling, "Can you call him in?"
"Yes," James said impressively, pulling a mirror out of an inside pocket.
"So that's how you two contacted each other during detentions," Dumbledore said, grinning.
James turned and started to talk into the mirror.
"Hey Padfoot," he said and Sirius's face appeared in the mirror.
"Hey Prongs."
"Do you think you remember the way to Dumbledore's office?" James asked, knowing what the answer would be.
"Gosh! Why in the world would I forget those lovely moments?" Sirius said hysterically, shocked that his best friend would ask him such a question, "Why? Have you forgotten how to get there?" Sirius added cheekily, playing along with James's game.
"No of course I haven't forgotten," James answered, continuing to play along but he still sounded disgusted, "Could you come over here then?" James said.
"Sure, that is if I get past mum alive," Sirius answered after a while, "Get lost Reg!" he suddenly yelled, obviously at his brother.
"Great! He's gone to tell mum," Sirius said, sounding annoyed.
"Sirius Orion Black!" yelled a voice from Sirius's side of the mirror.
"I've got to go Prongs," Sirius said hurriedly.
"Okay, the password is chocolate snaps," James said.
"Alright," Sirius said and then he disappeared.
"He's coming," James said when he turned back to Dumbledore.
"Good," Dumbledore said. After a few minutes there was a knock on the office door. "Enter."
Sirius Black, another mischief maker when he had been attending Hogwarts, entered the office. His usually short, sleek, black hair was now messy, probably from trying to escape Grimarauld place in one piece.
"Sorry about the hold up," Sirius said, taking off his travelling cloak and hanging it on the coat stand.
"Would you like me to get you-," Dumbledore offered, but Sirius waved the offer away with a wave of his hand.
"No thanks Professor, I can get one myself," Sirius answered, taking his wand out of his pocket. He gave it a little flick and a chair appeared out of thin air. When Sirius went to sit in it, he fell to the ground because James had moved the chair back. They all started to laugh.
"Yeah! Yeah! Very funny Prongs!" Sirius said, getting up off the floor.
"Well I couldn't help it. You know I couldn't have held the sensation back," James said, trying to stop his hysterical laughter.
"Well, what am I here for then?" Sirius said, nudging James in the ribs for a pay back. James nudged him back but they stopped when Dumbledore started to explain it again.
"So are you up to the challenge Sirius?" Dumbledore finished waiting for Sirius's answer. Sirius had a very serious face on.
"I will do it," he answered after a while of thinking.
"Well then Sirius you will have to make a vow to James and Lily. That would mean that you would get twice the punishment if you break it. Are you sure you want to be the secret keeper. I would have thought you would have wanted to be the Godfather of Harry," Dumbledore said, "Is there anyone else you would choose James?"
"What about Remus?" Lily suggested to James turning to face him.
"Remember what I said before James, one of the marauders is not going to be a very good secret keeper," Dumbledore said warningly.
"Lily, Remus is a werewolf he's already got too much to handle," James said, "Sirius will do."
James turned to face Sirius for support.
"It's your choice mate," Sirius said willingly. James nodded to Dumbledore.
"Very well then," Dumbledore said.
They held hands and Dumbledore said the enchantment. "Well in that case we might as well do another enchantment that will bring us all back to life if we do get killed. But it won't be straight away we will come back when the person that we die for decides to come and get us," Dumbledore said. He said another enchantment that lit the whole room with a blinding white light.
