Chapter 9: The Revelation

 

 

Harry and Hermione had dealt with being in the new world so far, keeping the slips to a minimum. Harry had only punched Wormtail once after Wormtail had started hitting on Hermione; he wanted to do so much more but couldn't. Right now Harry was training for the Quidditch game coming that weekend against Ravenclaw.

 

“Good job Devin, keep that up and we won't even need to wake James up.” Harry had just scored again; even after the Captain had three people playing Keeper Harry and his broom were just too good.

 

“Oh come on if I don't play none of the ladies will come out.” James flew around catching the Snitch when he felt like it.

 

“Don't let Lily catch you saying that.” Harry had gotten comfortable talking with his Father, with a new friend.

 

“Oh she knows I love her, prove it every chance I get.” James went in a dive and came back with the Snitch, again. “You know, with such a fine broom you could be a really good Seeker.”

 

“I wish, I tried but a Snitch, well, I like being active the entire time instead of sitting around looking for the golden flash of Snitch.” The flash that meant it was his time to win the game, his time to chase down his prey and capture it, oh Harry missed that feeling that rush, even with being a Chaser it was different.

 

“Well good practice everyone; we have class tomorrow so go to bed early.” Harry doubted anyone actually would go to bed early as he headed back to the castle. Harry was walking when he heard crying; not knowing who it was Harry didn't want to stop but if it was someone he knew… He looked inside the classroom, it was Hermione.

 

“Hermione, you ok?” She turned around then went over and hugged Harry crying still. “What's wrong?”

 

“I miss my parents, I miss Crookshanks, I miss Ginny, I miss everyone.” Hermione had finally realized that she may never see them again, that Harry and she may never return to their time.

 

“It's ok Hermione we'll see them again.” Harry hoped, it was fun here being with his parents but it wasn't his time, it wasn't right.

 

“No we won't, Dumbledore hasn't found a way to get us home yet and he never will.”

 

“He told you this?” Now Harry was worried, had Dumbledore talked to Hermione while he was out practicing?

 

“No but it's true, we aren't going home, I'll never see them again.” Harry was worried about that, he already thought of a way to make it so Hermione could see them again but didn't want to tell her.

 

“You don't know that, Divination is complete rubbish remember? Besides you will see your parents again, I'll make sure of it.”

 

“It's all my fault, I'm supposed to be so smart but I can't think of a way to get us home, I failed you Harry, I failed you.” Hermione kept crying even when she ran out of tears.

 

“It's not your fault, its Voldemort's, it's his Death Eaters fault, not yours.” Harry tried to comfort her; he rocked her back and forth brushing her hair with his fingers. “We will go home Hermione.”

 

“What?” Hermione looked up at Harry.

 

“We will go home.”

 

“No, not that, you just said it was Voldemort's fault.”

 

“It is his fault.” Harry wasn't sure what he had missed, he had been there the whole time yet something got past him.

 

“You finally stopped blaming yourself for this!” Hermione hugged Harry hard. “You finally stopped blaming yourself for what Voldemort did, about time Harry.”

 

“Well Mom forgave me, it wasn't my fault, she said it herself, it wasn't my fault. It was never my fault, it's always been Voldemort, and it's always been him making my life hell, ruining everything, hurting everyone I loved. It's not my fault I love someone, it's Voldemort who hurts them, it isn't my fault that Sirius was killed, that Ron turned on his family, that Cho was used, it was Voldemort who did it, me loving them or being friends with them had nothing to do with it, it's not my fault if I love someone.”

 

“I love you to Harry.” Hermione got up on her toes and kissed Harry on his lips. This threw Harry off; he shook his head trying to get what just happened to make sense. “I missed you so much Harry, even when I hated you I loved you, I could never stop loving you.” Hermione kissed him again.

 

“Hermione you can't do that, we are suppose to be siblings.”

 

“But we aren't, and no one is here, I love you Harry.” She kissed him on the lips hugging him harder before letting go. “You're right we can't do this here, we have to wait until we get home, if we…”

 

“We will get home, Dumbledore will find a way to get us home Mione.” Harry had said it before he knew what he was saying.

 

“We will get home Harry, Devin, we will get home.” Hermione hugged him again feeling better.

 

“So have your homework down?” Harry was trying to distract Hermione from what had happened.

 

“No, I still need to finish my Arithmancy homework.”

 

“Well then let's go to the library so I can sit and watch you.” They both laughed and did as such.

 

Later that day Harry had changed and was ready for bed when the Marauders surrounded his bed.

 

“So Harry what's going on?” Harry froze; if he didn't respond to Harry then he wasn't giving himself away. “Harry answer us.” Harry didn't move.

 

“Come on Harry get up.” This time James had pushed Harry. “Damn it Harry get up we need to talk to you.”

 

“My name isn't Harry its Devin!” Harry wasn't going to let them know who he was, he couldn't let them know, not James or any of the Marauders.

 

“Peter saw you with your `sister'. Who are you two really?”

 

“Wormtail was spying on me?” Harry now got up.

 

“See he knows my nickname, we never told him that did we?” Harry realized what he just said.

 

“No we didn't. How do you know all this Harry? Sirius told us you knew about the tunnels, and how to get to the kitchen, things that took us years to find.”

 

“And you know how to get up to the girl's dorm, something we still can't figure out.” Harry was panicking.

 

“Look let me get my sister; please I'll explain everything just let me get my sister.” Harry had no idea what to do and hoped Hermione would. Harry was followed by the Marauders when he got to the entrance to the girl's dormitory. “Uh I'm going up alone, cover your ears, I promised Lily I wouldn't tell you.” They actually did cover their ears, Harry was amazed, so asked to be let up and he was. Getting to the door he knocked on it.

 

“What? It's time to go to bed.” Harry heard Lily move around. “If you have problems with a room mate just wait till morning.” She opened the door. “Devin!” Harry stopped her from closing the door shut.

 

“I need to talk to Hermione, it is important, it involves you know what.” Harry hoped Hermione would know what he meant.

 

“Oh god no Harry what did you do!” Hermione knew what Harry meant.

 

“Harry?” Lily was confused.

 

“Look I need to talk to my Brother.” Hermione threw on a large shirt over the night gown she had on. Hermione and Harry went down the stairs where the Marauders were waiting for them. “What did you do, why did you tell them?”

 

“I didn't they heard you talking to me earlier, Wormtail saw us.” Hermione went pale, this was her fault.

 

“Look we need to go to Dumbledore…”

 

“You aren't going anywhere until you tell us what, who, you are.” Wormtail was acting like he had done something great.

 

“Follow us then, we need to go to Dumbledore.” Hermione pushed Wormtail hard and Harry followed her hearing the Marauders following them. Getting to Dumbledore's office Harry gave the password and went in.

 

“Ah there they are.” Dumbledore was waiting for them, how?

 

“Dumbledore they know about us, that Devin isn't Devin.”

 

“And Hermione isn't Hermione.” Harry figured he could keep her real name out of this; they didn't need to know that Hermione was her real name.

 

“I saw them acting rather unsibling like in a classroom.” Wormtail was still acting smug. “And they know my nickname, something we never told them.”

 

“I see, well, I am sorry to say this but they are not who you think they are.” Harry crossed his fingers, Dumbledore had to save them.

 

“They said Voldemort sent them here, isn't he the leader of that Anti-Muggle group?” James was taking over as the leader of the Marauders.

 

“Yes he is, and he did send them here in a way. Harry's parents and her Brother were killed in an attack by Death Eaters.” Dumbledore had thought of something to Harry's relief. “I needed to hide them and the safest place in England is Hogwarts. I also gave them a cover story in case Voldemort was able to get a spy in here; they are to be Brother and Sister, under the names Devin and Hermione Granger.”

 

“But how do they know my nickname?” Peter wasn't letting this go.

 

“I told them who they could trust, the Marauders. Yes you may get into trouble but you are good, you don't follow Voldemort, this is why I put them in Gryffindor. Their parents were friends of mine and while Harry's parents are on the run he has fallen under my care, and as long as she will stay here Eve is under my care.” Dumbledore came up with the first female name he could think of and gave it to Hermione.

 

“You didn't tell them about me did you?” This came from Remus.

 

“What that you're a Werewolf?” Hermione wasn't worried about letting them know what she and Harry knew anymore. “We don't care; Harry's uncle is a Werewolf.” It was true, in their timeline Remus was like an uncle to Harry.

 

“But why do they know about the tunnels? The Kitchen? Or how in the hell can he get up to the girl's dormitory!” This came from Sirius.

 

“Escape routes, in case this castle is attacked by Voldemort these two know ways to get out of here. As for the girl's dormitory this is again in case there is an attack, Harry will be able to get his sister or stay in the dorm room since any male followers would not be able to get up there.” Harry and Hermione finally relaxed, Dumbledore had saved them, this Dumbledore was as good to them as the Dumbledore they knew was.

 

“Oh.” Peter was getting angry, he thought he had something on these two, after Hermione, or Eve, had turned him down, after Devin, or Harry, had punched him, he thought he had something on them.

 

“Please keep this to yourselves, I made a promise to the Heeds that I would keep their daughter safe and if you tell anyone about them it would put them in jeopardy.” The Marauders nodded.

 

“What about Lily?” Hermione wanted to tell her the `truth', the new truth anyways.

 

“She is someone you can trust so if you want to you may, anyone else I recommend not to tell them.”

 

“Now it is late please go to bed and keep this to yourself.” The Marauders and Harry and Hermione left Dumbledore's office and headed back to the Gryffindor Common Room.

 

“Sorry about that Harry, Devin, we were worried you were here working for Voldemort, we all know Muggle born witches and wizards and were trying to protect them.” James was again the leader of the Marauders apologizing for all of them.

 

“Its ok James you didn't know but now you do. You really should be more careful though, Dumbledore knows about everything you and your friends do he just usually lets it slide.”

 

“What? How do you know this?”

 

“He told me, on Christmas last year he was telling me about the Marauders, how they broke every rule but never hurt anyone so he let it go.” Harry was making things up as he went along.

 

“Well hey as long as we don't hurt anyone its fine with him so it's fine with me.” The Marauders and Harry went to their dorm room while Hermione went to hers.

 

That morning Harry woke up to another world, he was under a new life, it wasn't his own but it wasn't a bad one. The Marauders now knew his real name if not his real past which was technically his future. Harry didn't have to tip toe around them now that they knew he knew almost everything about them.

 

 

The rest of the week went by finally getting to the weekend, the first Quidditch game of the year. Harry was excited, he was about to play in front of a large crowd of people again, he was about to play Quidditch with the Gryffindor team again, he was already getting that rush.

 

“Come on people if we lose this I will be out 50 Galleons, that's how much I believe we will win. So if you lose I will wring your necks and get the money I lost from all of you.” The Captain wasn't much for uplifting speeches. “So get your stuff together and let's clip the wings of those Ravens!”

 

“Hoorah!” The Gryffindor Quidditch team let out the battle cry and went out onto the field.

 

“Here they are the Gryffindor Lions facing the Ravenclaw Ravens in the opening Quidditch game of the year! Come on James don't make me lose to Mackenzie and wait at least ten minutes to catch that Snitch.” Sirius was doing the commentary. The players on both teams got ready and waited for the whistle.

 

“And they're off!” The whistle was blown and both teams shot up into the air. “And what an amazing maneuver by the new Chaser Devin Granger who has the Quaffle and scores!” Before five seconds had passed Harry got the first score. He was use to three Keepers so one Keeper was nothing to him.

 

“The Ravenclaw Chaser Robert has the Quaffle and is charging down the field he looks like he is going to what was that?” Harry had flown up underneath the Ravenclaw Chaser and stolen the Quaffle. “Devin has the Quaffle again and scores!” Twenty seconds, two scores. “He is so fast out there you can barely see him moving! The Ravenclaw Chaser Mary has the Quaffle now and is dodging Bludgers, she looks like she could and it's gone again!” Harry stole the Quaffle before Mary had made it to mid-field. “Devin has it and scores again!” The crowd was going nuts, they were cheering and stomping their feet, Harry could feel it, the rush, the excitement, he was having a great time. “Devin does a flip, hey man stop showing off and score us some more points!” Harry did just that, in one minute he had seven scores, after five it was over thirty. “Right now it is 310-0, the Ravenclaw team just can't get to the other side to score because of Devin Granger the Golden Chaser!” Harry heard that, he was now the Golden Chaser, he had been the Golden Seeker and now a Golden Chaser. Bored Harry flew up to where Sirius was and spoke into the microphone.

 

“Well then let's give the other team a chance shall we? I figure as long as we have another five minutes until James decides to catch the Snitch I can say Hoorah!” Harry dove down over the stands indeed showing off catching the Ravenclaw Chaser and stealing the ball before they could get to mid-field. Harry dodged a Bludger and scored again.

 

“Is he great or what and from what I understand ladies he is still single! So come to me first and I'll see if he would want you or not and if he wouldn't you can always come with me.” Sirius was having as much fun as Harry was. It was getting closer and closer to the ten minute mark, if James caught it now Sirius would lose money but if he waited a few more minutes Mackenzie would lose money. Harry stole the Quaffle time and time again scoring goal after goal with ease. It was getting closer to the ten minute mark, Sirius was sure James was going to help him win even if he did ask for a part of the winnings. Harry scored again making it 430-0 when the whistle was blown. “James caught the Snitch! Yes that's 20 Galleons for me! I'll be waiting for you by the Common Room Mackenzie.” James flew up to the stand where Sirius was at.

 

“No you don't Sirius, I caught it AT ten minutes, not before or after, so you two owe me 20 Galleons each!” James flew down to the field with the Snitch still in his hand and a smile on his face.

 

“Well that is just cheap if you ask me but anyways 580-0 Gryffindor over Ravenclaw! Party at the Common Room tonight!” Sirius left the stand and ran down the stairs as quickly as possible so he could join his friends in celebration.

 

The Common Room did have a party, and while Hermione and Lily were upset over the alcohol the Marauders seemed to have gotten in they celebrated the victory.

 

“Great job Devin, we could skip the next to games and still win the cup!” A drunken Remus had spilled beer on Harry who got up to clean it off. Going into the regular bathroom Harry was punched in the back.

 

“Fucker, you're trying to take my friends away from me!” Wormtail had attacked Harry! “Such a big star already well we'll see how they treat you when I tell them you attacked me!” Wormtail grabbed Harry's wand out of his pocket. “What should I use on you?” Harry remembered his DADA class, wandless magic.

 

“Accio Wand!” His wand left Wormtail and came to Harry. “Silencio!” Harry shut Wormtail up with a spell. “I hate you, you betrayed my parents, you sold your soul to evil himself and now you will pay!” Harry thought of what spells to use, he could just kill him but Hermione would be mad and Dumbledore would punish him, same with any Unforgivable Curse so Harry decided to have some fun. “Densaugeo.” The same spell Malfoy used on Hermione to give her buck teeth worked well on Wormtail. “Fernunculus” Rashes and boils broke out all over Wormtail who tried to run away. "Locomoto mortis." The leg locking spell stopped Wormtail who tried to scream but Harry still had him silenced; now only one last spell would do the spell that even he couldn't beat. "Rictusempra.” Wormtail fell over laughing, sort of, no sound came out but the laughing spell had taken effect on him. Harry stood over Wormtail making him laugh so hard and for so long he passed out.

 

Harry went back to the Common Room not cleaning up the beer Remus had poured on him finding Hermione on someone else's lap, Sirius. “What do you two think you're doing?” Harry couldn't believe Hermione or Sirius were doing this.

 

“Oh come on Harrrry, itsss jussst a littlllle fun.” Hermione's speech was slurred, she was drunk.

 

“Sirius you got my sister drunk on purpose didn't you?” Harry got his wand out again ready for some more cursing. “Hermione please move so I can curse Sirius's little dick off in front of everyone.” Harry tried to calm down; he was still mad at Wormtail and was now taking it out on Sirius.

 

“Hey man we weren't going to do anything just having some fun.” Sirius though did push Hermione off when Harry didn't put his wand away.

 

“Then have fun with some other girl Sirius.”

 

“No need to tell me twice.” Sirius got up and went over to a fifth year student and started talking to her. Harry dragged Hermione up to her room and lay her down on her bed.

 

“Hermione you're drunk, I'll stay here until you fall asleep.” Hermione turned over turning her back on Harry.

 

“I was just having a little fun.”

 

“You were about to snog with my God Father that's not just a little fun that's just downright creepy.”

 

“He's not your God Father yet he's fun and cute.” Hermione rolled back over. “Although you are cute to Derry.” Hermione reached out for Harry who backed away. “Come on lets have some fun Havin.” Hermione fell out of the bed when she reached out to far. Harry picked her back up and put her back in bed.

 

“What are you doing up here?” Lily and one of the other Gryffindor girls saw Devin who seemed to be lying on top of his sister.

 

“She's drunk; I'm trying to keep her in her bed before she does something stupid. Already stopped her from snogging with Sirius, help please?” Lily and the other girl went over to help Harry keep Hermione down.

 

“Come on I was just going to have some fun.” Hermione thrashed on the bed trying to get the three people off of her.

 

“You drank to much Hermione, Harry good idea to bring her up here.” Harry nearly cracked his head on a wall turning his head. “Eve told me the truth; sorry about what happened with Voldemort.”

 

“Well you know anything that will keep her down?” Lily nodded and cast a spell that shot out silver colored rope that tied Hermione down to the bed. “That should work, thanks Lily, and uh, you.”

 

“I'm Rachel, Harry or Devin?”

 

“Devin, Harry is a nickname I let friends call me and since I don't know you call me Devin.” Harry shook her hand and left the room.

 

Harry stayed in the Common Room for a few more minutes when James and Remus pulled Harry out of the Common Room and into the hallway. “What the hell did you do to Peter?”

 

“He attacked me so I fought back, if he wants to complain about it tell him next time to take me out with the first punch.” Harry didn't care about Wormtail, if he wanted to go another round Harry was up for it.

 

“He what? He told us you attacked him because he asked your sister out.”

 

“Hermione can take care of herself; she did it well enough with Mackenzie. He punched me, I used a few spells on him, again if he wants to complain bring him here and I will give him something to complain about.”

 

“Well we know you are protective of her because she isn't your sister but something more, and Sirius did tell us you threatened him with your wand for having a little fun with Hermione.” James did have a point but it wasn't true!

 

“I didn't attack him he attacked me! Where is he?”

 

“Uh well…”

 

“Fine I'll just use the Marauders Map to find him!” Harry turned around and left the two stunned, how did Harry know about their Map?

 

Harry got to his trunk and got the Marauders Map out and his Invisibility Cloak out. “Wait, how to explain having these things?” Harry threw the cloak on deciding not to bother with the two Marauders. Harry found where Wormtail was hiding in girls bathroom! “Pervert.” He could see there were two girls in there. Harry went to the bathroom and waited for the two girls to leave before going in after Wormtail. He saw the rat, it still had all its fingers unlike the Wormtail Harry knew, unlike the Scabbers Harry knew. Harry got his wand out and cast another tickling charm on Wormtail. The rat shook wildly for a few moments then turned into a laughing Peter Pettigrew. Harry stayed under his cloak when he heard someone else come in behind him, turning around he didn't see anyone until his Father and Remus took the original Invisibility Cloak off and had their own Marauders Map.

 

“Harry Potter?” Oh god no Harry thought, the Marauders Map couldn't be fooled. “We know you're here so come out or take your spell off, whatever you are using.” Harry came out from underneath the Invisibility Cloak after putting his Marauders Map away.

 

“He's a pervert; he was in here as a rat watching girls so I figured I'd teach him not to do that.” Harry took the spell off.

 

“He's lying! He chased me in here then attacked me again!” Peter was still on the ground.

 

“We saw it on the Map, Wormtail, and he didn't chase you in here, Harry Potter is telling the truth.” James stared at Harry hard. “Potter? Was your grandfather's first name Harold?” Harry shook his head, he had no idea what his grandfather's name was so it might have been. “Uh a grandmother named Maratha?” Harry again shook his head. “Weird coincidence then, look Peter what the hell were you doing! First you attack Harry and now you are in here watching women go to the bathroom? We became like this for Remus not to spy on girls, Dumbledore probably knows you did this, if he doesn't he will know anyways.”

 

“But I, I wasn't, he attacked me!” Peter turned into a rat and got away.

 

“Sorry we didn't believe you Harry, I can't believe Wormtail, we did this for a reason and this isn't it.”

 

“I know you did it so on the full moon you can go with Remus for his transformation.” They looked at him. “Like Dumbledore said he told me about you guys, not exactly who you were but what you did, about doing something illegal to keep a friend company when they transformed. My uncle had a friend like that, they were best friends, but one night when he was transformed a group of Anti-Muggle wizards attacked the place my uncle was staying and when his friend was fighting them off he escaped, he killed his friend and the Anti-Muggle wizards, and they executed him for it.” Not the whole truth but it explained why he wasn't living with his `uncle' and told them what happened between Remus and Sirius in his time.

 

“Well we won't let that happen right Remus?” James nudged him in the side.

 

“Yeah, about that, I was thinking…”

 

“Not again Remus it won't happen so stop talking about that. Harry go to the dorm room we will look for Wormtail.” Harry left and let the two Marauders hunt down Wormtail to teach him a lesson for spying on the girls who were in the bathroom. James didn't want to think about Lily being spied on by Wormtail, his love being violated by Wormtail, his soul mate, the girl he already planned to marry.

 

 

Harry woke up that morning seeing Wormtail wasn't back. “Where is Wormtail?” Harry looked around for a rat.

 

“He left the school grounds; we already put a spell on the Marauders Map to tell us when he comes back.” Oh no, Harry heard this, is this when Wormtail left for Voldemort? What had he done!

 

“Well at least he didn't come back, little bastard, I know he looked at Lily.” James was mad at Peter, he was always tagging along, he was a good friend when he wanted to be, but James thought about it, if Peter looked at those girls he would get a kick out of seeing Lily, James's love, his soul mate.

 

“Look I need to talk to my sister.”

 

“We know she isn't your sister so you can stop saying that.” Remus had a point but Harry had been trying to keep himself from slipping.

 

“Alright but still need to talk to her.” Harry got dressed and went down to the Common Room to find Hermione doing what she did best, read. “You feeling alright Hermione?”

 

“Shut up Devin my head hurts.” Hermione was suffering from a hangover that she was trying to escape from by reading.

 

“Look Wormtail left the school, the Marauders know my real name but don't know about how I and James are related, and I don't know what to do.” Harry sat next to Hermione waiting for a response.

 

“Devin my head hurts can you please wait till it goes away?”

 

“You don't understand Wormtail left, he just found out about Voldemort, this is probably when he became a Death Eater! I did it; I made him become a Death Eater!” Harry said this to loudly for Hermione who hit Harry with the book. Crack

 

“Master Dumbledore wishes to speak to you.” Crack Looni had left before either teen could say anything.

 

“I guess we better go, He is probably going to yell at me for drinking.” The two went to Dumbledore's office to find out what he wanted.

 

“Sit down please I have some very good news.”
