So this is my first Time travel/ Reading the books story but this is something I really wanted to see done and I hope you guys like it! I am going to try to update every week, so I am probably not going to update my other stories for awhile. I hope you all like this! Read and Review! Thanks!

Disclaimer: I don't own any of this except the plot of my story, I have kept most of the character's canon so none of them are mine either. All rights go to J.K Rowling and her brilliant mind.

It's over.

No more fighting, no more worrying, no more fear.

It was over, and yet there was still grief and pain and suffering.

He could still see the people around him falling; the flashes of light-green, red, white, purple-all hurting others. He was the one to blame. If he could have only ended it sooner, how many lives would have been saved? Why did it take him so long to understand the plan? Why?

Harry felt tears prickling as he lay on his back staring at the ceiling as he laid in his four poster bed. How many people had died? He shuddered, not wanting to face the answer to that question. Harry clenched his fists and let out a groan of shame, I am such a coward.

It wasn't until after giving back the Elder wand and passing out on his bed and awaking did the grief hit him. It had been exactly ten hours since the defeat of Tom Riddle, yet Harry Potter lay in his bed ashamed.

"HARRY JAMES POTTER!"

Harry started at the shriek at his name and looked around for the source. For one befuddled moment he assumed that it was the beginning of the torrent of howlers blaming him for the death of a family member. He expected nothing less; but instead there stood a beautiful fiery redhead whose usually playful chocolate eyes were alight with anger and her face turning a dark red. Harry had to admit that he had never seen Ginny Weasley so formidable.

"YOU. ARE. A. BLOODY. ARSE." She said enunciating each word with a blow to his side with a pillow that she grabbed nearby.

Harry merely ducked his head in shame. "I'm sorry Ginny. I am so sorry. You have all the right to blame me for Fred's-"

Suddenly all he could feel were soft lips on his own and a blazing sense of determination. Before he knew it she was on his lap and he was kissing her back with all his soul. He wanted her to know that he was sorry. Ginny pulled away and looked at him angrily, "I wasn't talking about that. You need to stop blaming yourself. I was talking about you pulling that STUPID STUNT out there. Never do that again." She said pushing away his still dirty hair and stared intently into his emerald eyes.

Harry looked away in anger. Did she not understand that he was the cause of this whole thing? If he was quicker, if he just knew the plan sooner, if…

"There were a whole lot of "ifs" there." She said as he flushed realizing that he had said his thoughts out loud. "We can never know Harry. It doesn't matter, its over." She enveloped him into a warm hug that was so much like her mother's that Harry nearly started at the similarity. "Your family must be waiting for you Gin, I can't keep you here. I've been selfish enough." Harry said as he tried to push her away. Ginny just looked at him as her eyes glinted mischieviously, "They can wait. I think I would prefer to keep you distracted a little longer."

He smirked at her and for once in his life, did something for himself and just gave in to his own wishes.

-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-

"She's been up there for a long time." A concerned red head said to the beautiful curly haired girl that he stood next to him.

"Ron, you know they have had feelings for each other for a long time now…"

"And your point is?"

"…." She rolled her eyes at his bafflement.

"Damn it Hermione! I was just wondering why my sister was up in Harry's room-OH BLOODY HELL!"

Ron's blue eyes widened at his revelation, he stormed up the staircase to the boy's dormitories. Hermione followed him surprised and frightened by what he might do to the two lovers upstairs.

"OI! STOP MOLESTING MY BEST FRIEND YOU- YOU SCARLET WOMEN!" Ron bellowed as he started to pound on the door to the dorms. Hermione let out a sigh of relief and a full out laugh at Ron's actions.

Looking up at him the only thing she could do was smile. "I thought you were going to kill Harry for a second."

She reached out and grabbed his hand, he turned around and instead of blushing or looking awkward like he would have in the past he simply grasped her hand tighter, "Well he did sort of just save the world, I thought I could cut him some slack." He said and winked at her with a smile on his face as he continued to pound the door with his free hand.

How lucky was she to have him as a boyfriend? She smiled.

"BUGGER OFF!" shouted the small feisty redhead that opened the door. Her hair looked slightly ruffled and her lips puffy, Hermione noticed with a smirk, but she decided this was something she didn't have to point out to Ron.

"Yeah you heard the lady, scram!" Harry said, standing behind Ginny.

"Don't push your luck mate."

"Sorry."

Hermione let out a laugh and went to hug her best friends, "I missed this. Do you think we will finally have normal lives?"

"Not a chance 'Mione, not a chance." Ron said.

Hermione sent him a mock glare as Harry and Ginny snickered.

"Will you ever grow up?"

-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-

"WILL YOU EVER GROW UP?"

"Come on Lily! Just say yes. It's not that hard." Said a smirking hazel eyed boys with perpetual windswept hair.

"ARGH! Potter, just leave me ALONE!" said a petite red head whose bright emerald eyes were alight with rage.

"Come on Evans, give him a break. You know he won't shut up about you." A dashing raven haired boy said.

"Stay out of this Black." Lily said shooting him a glare.

"He's right though Lily, if you said yes to James he would leave you alone. Out of all the things that James has ever taken a fancy towards, you're the one girl he has liked forever."

"Remus, Not you too!" Lily said shooting her fellow sandy haired perfect a pleading look. He simply shrugged at her and gave James a look as if to say, 'Well-I-tried."

Marauders! What on earth was she to do with them?

"You two shouldn't even be here anyways! These are Prefect rounds, and you are breaking curfew. I could give you a detention each for this!" She threatened.

Sirius simply smiled at her, "Oh come on Lily, You wouldn't do that. We know that you and Moony start rounds at least ten minutes early and we have barely been here for three, we have not breached curfew."

Lily groaned as she realized he was right, "I am still a Prefect and I can give you a detention if you don't get out of my sight RIGHT NOW!"

James just gave her his best puppy dog eyes, "Awwwh, Come on Lil, we could-"

"What is that?" Remus interrupted.

Lily, James, and Sirius turned to look at an unattended bag lying on the floor of the corridor. It was plain black bag, one that looked like a simple school bag.

Sirius rolled his eyes, "Some little firstie must have lost it. Silly midgets."

Lily was about to tell him off but James interrupted.

"I don't think so. There are seven books in here! We don't even have that many classes in a day, plus they aren't even school books." James let out a yelp when he saw the title of one of the books and dropped the bags in shock. The bag began to glow blue and the glow began to spread to the entire corridor.

"What in the name of-?"

Suddenly they all felt a tug from behind their navels, and all let out a scream.

-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-

"Grow up? Me? Never!" Ron answered his girlfriend smiling.

She rolled her eyes, as they all heard a loud crack and thump inside the boys dorm.

They turned around extremely quickly and whipped their wands out. Harry being the only one still in the room yelled "Expelliarmus!"

Suddenly, seven wands were hurdling right to him. Harry instinctively caught two in his own hands, but wasn't prepared for the rest. Luckily Ron, Hermione, and Ginny caught the others.

The Golden Trio and Ginny looked at the seven people that had just appeared in the room and stared at each other disbelievingly.

The boy with dark hair stood up first and was the exact same height as Harry. He moved to stand in front of the others. "I don't know who you are or what you're playing at, but if you want to hurt any of them you need to go through me." He said bravely, much more bravely than he felt.

Harry wanted to laugh but he was in too much shock and could only watch in silence as the shaggy raven haired boy stood up next and put his hand on his shoulder and looked at Harry and the others with such anger, "And me. I don't care if you look like James, you will not hurt any of us." He growled.

The familiarity of his voice made Harry's eyes sting. "Sirius?" he said softly.

Sirius started and narrowed his eyes. Harry simply turned to Ron whose eyes were as wide as saucers, Ginny staring at them shocked and Hermione's eyes were brimmed with tears. "It's them. I know it is." Harry said to them.

"Excuse me? Who the bloody hell are you people?" said a tall brown haired boy with broad shoulders and his arms protectively around a round faced girl.

James started from in front of him and turned to face him. "Blimey Frank! You're here too?"

"Apparently! I don't know why in the name of Merlin's left-"

"Frank." The girl said warningly

"Sorry Alice, but I think I am allowed to swear in our current predicament!"

"Oi! Calm down. We are not going to hurt you, we don't even know how you lot got here." Ron said he turned to his friends and gathered all the wands they caught and put them up to the people sitting in front of them, "Look," he threw the wands to them. "Here you can have them back, happy? Please listen to us; we are not going to hurt you."

"Who are you?" Remus said getting up to grab his wand and handing Lily her own.

"My name is Ron Weasley. I'm sorry to break this to you Prof- mate, but you're in the future."

"What?"

"Prove it." Said a quiet voice from the last person in the group from the past; Sirius, James, and Lily turned their head rapidly at the recognition of the voice.

"Excuse me?" Hermione said, finally recovering from the shock.

"Prove it, you say that you know who we are but you fail to provide any convincing evidence that you do. You could all just be Death Eaters for all we know." The boy with sallow skin, a hooked nose, and slightly greasy hair said.

"As much as it pains me to agree with Snivellus," Sirius spat the word out with spite, " but he is right, how do we know that you are telling the truth."

Ron, Hermione and Ginny all looked to Harry who stepped up and simply smiled. "I can try."

The seven looked at each other and agreed. "I'll go." James said, stepping first. "That way if you attack me, the others have some time to retaliate." He said.

"Fine." Harry said looking at his father greedily and willed himself to keep his voice steady.

"Go ahead." James said impatiently.

"Your name is James Potter." Harry whispered as he saw James narrow his eyes in slight surprise. "You are a part of the Marauders, who created the Marauders' Map and is known as Prongs because of being an unregistered animagus which happens to be a stag."

James looked at him and staggered back in shock. "H-how-Who?"

Harry simply smiled. "Do you need any more proof or else can we just work out why you're here?"

"I believe him." James said finally after a moment of deciding.

The others looked at James surprised. They didn't hear what the boy had said to James but they all knew, even Lily, that he wouldn't put anyone's life in danger, well everyone except Severus.

"I don't. Not yet." He said with narrowed eyes.

Ron simply snorted in the background and murmured to the girls, "He would be the most difficult."

Harry looked over to him without losing his smile and said, "Half-Blood Prince."

Severus paled but nodded. "Okay."

"Excuse me but you still haven't told us who you are." Lily said.

Harry looked at her and said, "Yeah, I'm sorry. This is Ron Weasley as you know." He said pointing to Ron who waved at them awkwardly. "This is Hermione Granger, and Ginny Weasley" They both nodded to all of the guests and smiled. "My name is Harry Potter."

All six heads turned to James as his eyes widened in shock, "Your-You're-We're related?"

"Yes." Harry said smiling.

"I don't mean to interrupt, but can you describe how you all got here? Not that we aren't happy to see you, but I think it is best if you all got back to your own times. Nothing is more dangerous than messing with time." Hermione said fretting over what could happen if they stayed here forever.

Lily pointed to the school bag that had all the books, "This was some sort of a portkey that sent us here. It is filled with books," She said as she went through the bag but then stopped when she found something else, "There is a letter in here!"

"Read it aloud then." Alice said quietly.

"Dear All that are reading this,

If we were successful we have sent seven people- James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Lily Potter, Alice Prewett, Frank Longbottom, and Severus Snape- to the future. They should have, hopefully already encountered Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, and Ginny Weasley. We have provided seven books describing the life of Harry Potter into the bag that transported you here. We are giving you the opportunity to hear about how Harry grew up and we are giving you a chance to realize that there are things that can be changed and people can be saved. Please read these books in the Room of Requirement with the rest of the Weasley's and Neville. Even if we can't change this, we hope that you at least enjoy the experience. Trust us.

Sincerely,

TRL, ASP, JSP, LLP, RHW, and HRW

They all paused and looked at each other slightly shaken but Harry was the first to respond. He went over and grabbed the bag of books and nodded.

"Alright, let's go." He said turning to the others. He looked to Ron and Ginny, "You want to gather your family to the Room of Requirement?" Ginny nodded but Ron looked at him puzzled,

"Mate, but will the Room still work?" Ron asked giving Harry a significant look. " I mean after what happened…"

"What happened?" Remus asked perplexed.

Harry ignored him as he responded to Ron, "That's why I am taking Hermione along to go see if it is still usable." He turned to Hermione, "Do you think it won't work?"

Hermione looked pensive for a minute but then she shrugged, "It has some incredible magic, but what happened was – well, we will just have to see."

Ron and Ginny nodded and walked away to gather up their family, Harry motioned that Hermione lead the way and he turned to the others, "Follow me."

The others looked wary, they were impressed with how Harry had an aura of utter confidence around him but they grew up with a war, being nervous was instinct.

James looked at Harry and realized why he was so drawn to trusting him.

James turned around to the others and nodded, "Let's go."

Harry smiled gratefully at him. James nodded.

Harry, James realized, had the exact same striking eyes as Lily. And he knew that he would follow those eyes anywhere. Even to the grave.

A/N-Phew! This is the longest chapter I have ever written! The story will be getting funnier don't worry, they are all just in shock. Also I am keeping all the canon couples...obviously...and I am unbeta-ed so please excuse any mistakes. So what did you think? Good? Bad? Stupid? Review and let me know!
