Chapter 11: Back

Fawkes landed in the Hospital Wing with the travelers.

"Well, that was exciting." Dumbledore said. "You three best get to your dormitory. All of the Gryffindors were worried about you. As well as a few Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws."

"Right." They said.

Harry pulled out his DA galleon and tapped it with his wand.

"Thanks for coming to get us." Hermione said.

"It was no trouble." Dumbledore said. "Just a simple matter of removing some memory charms I will place on everyone concerning you seven and myself. I did however, leave the memory of your parents beginning to date."

"I hate time travel." Snape groaned.

The kids left to go find their friends after saying goodbye.

"He is something else." Remus observed watching Harry leave.

"You gotta love him." Sirius added.

"I thought I heard you, Lupin." Pomfrey said coming out with Tonks.

"SIRIUS?!" Tonks screamed.

"The one and only." Sirius said with his Marauder-like bow.

In the Gryffindor Common Room,

Ginny sighed as she looked through a photo album.

"I miss them too." Neville said. "I wonder where they went."

"Who knows." Ginny said with tears running down her cheeks. "I never even told Harry how I feel."

Suddenly, their pockets started to warm up. Neville and Ginny both pulled out their DA galleons.

NOW IN THE ROFR

"Who's calling a meeting?" Ginny asked.

"Only one way to find out." Neville said as Dean, Colin, and Seamus came down the stairs with a few more DA members.

In the RofR,

"Who's calling the meeting?" Luna asked.

"I'm wondering why." Ginny said as she opened the door.

What was left of the DA stepped into the RofR.

"STUPIFY!" a female voice said.

"PROTEGO!" Everyone else yelled.

"Great job." Harry said as he, Ron, and Hermione stepped from the shadows. "Just because Voldemort's gone, doesn't mean we can relax."

"HARRY?!" everyone yelled.

"We're back." Ron said.

"RON! HERMIONE!" everyone yelled in shock.

Ginny was on Harry like a dog on steak. Their lips touching.

The room went silent.

"What is everyone starring at?" Ginny asked threatenly as she pulled out.

The rest of the DA turned to Ron and Hermione and bombarded them with questions as Harry and Ginny continued catching up.

"Where were you?"

"What happened?"

"Did we miss anything?"

"Relax!" Hermione yelled over the questions. "A short version about what happened is that we were making an apparition potion to see if we can use it within the school grounds, a time-turner slipped in and took us to 1977."

"Did you meet my parents?" Neville asked

Ron and Hermione nodded. Hermione had shared a dorm with Alice who was Lily's best friend.

"What were they like?" Neville asked.

"I personally liked them. They were loyal, but they knew how to stay out of trouble. When we told your dad about you earlier today, he seemed happy he was going to end up with your mum." Hermione said. "Of course, a memory charm will…was placed on him."

"Not to mention he was a decent seeker." Ron said. "It was hard to hold down Harry during the few games we saw."

"Did you meet the Marauders?" Ginny asked as they pulled out of another kiss.

"Ron and I shared a dorm with three fourths of them. The other one was Head Boy." Harry answered.

"Oh. Fred and George will be jealous." Ginny pointed out.

"Well, the Marauders loved the few prank items we brought along." Ron said.

"That's not all!" Harry said excitedly. "You guys remember Sirius Black?"

"Uh oh." Neville predicted. He had been present when Sirius was killed.

"He's alive!" Harry announced. "The veil took him back in time deep into the Forbidden Forest. We brought him back with us."

"Harry! That's wonderful!" Ginny exclaimed while hugging him.

The rest of the year was uneventful. School went about its business teaching the kids. Harry passed his NEWTs and was going to start auror training. Sirius had gotten his auror job back after getting an official apology for the mess. Harry moved in with Sirius having no real place to go for a few months. He later moved close by.

Ron joined Harry at the Ministry as an auror. Hermione became a healer at St. Mungos Harry and Ginny started a relationship, and got married right after Ron and Hermione. Both couples are now expecting their first children. Remus also got married to Tonks. Neville took over Madame Sprout who had retired.

In 1976-7,

After the time travelers left, Dumbledore placed memory charms on everyone concerning the time travelers. Nobody remember Harry Patter, Ron Westley, and Hermione Grundler.

As everyone knows, James and Lily continued dating and later married. Sirius and Peter remained bachelors and Remus wouldn't get married for another 18 years.

Harry was born nine months after the wedding. Fifteen months later, Voldemort attacked the Potters, and we all know what happens from there. After all, Time Travel is merely a circle of time.

The End.

A/N: It was all I could do to keep James and Lily from returning in this story. But I prefer to write those types of stories with Harry's parents coming back.
