Being Harry James Potter-Lupin

Being Harry James Potter-Lupin


As soon as the Black’s entered the study, Sirius told Hermione to take his office chair. Hermione settled back in the chair and said “So, what is it you want to discuss, and what charms need to be removed?” She added “And something tells me Jason is having the same conversation with his parents.”

Lily replied “Yes, Jason is having the same conversation with his parents.” She added “And the charms that need to be removed are glamour charms.” Hermione raised an eye brow at this.

Sirius said “And yes before you ask, you are under a glamour charm, that is not your true appearance, but in fact a disguise.”Hermione frowned and asked “Why has my true appearance been disguised?”

Lily asked “Do you remember us telling you that when Jason was a baby he somehow managed to defeat a dark and evil wizard called Voldemort?” Hermione nodded and Sirius continued where Lily had left off.

“Well, because of this Jason is very famous in the wizarding world; there most likely isn’t an adult or child that does not know who he is and what he has done.” He added “And because of this, you, your mother and I, along with Jason and his parents had to go into hiding and disguise our selves, so no one could find us.”

Lily continued to explain “Jason was far too young to deal with the press and all of the wizards and witches biding for his attention. And of course we would have all had the same thing to deal with, for just being closely associated with Jason and his parents.”

Sirius continued on “So Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall, the elder wizard and witch you just met down stairs, helped all six of us, by placing us under a glamour charm, to disguise our appearances and our voices.”

Hermione finished “And they sent us here, didn’t they?” Sirius nodded and said “Correct. You and Jason weren’t born in America; you were born in London, England. We never went into hiding until you and Jason were nearly two years old.”

Lily took out her wand and said “We are going to remove the charms off all three of us. Are you ready?” Hermione nodded, but then quickly held up her hand and said “Is my name really Emma Louise White, as Jason got his Hogwarts letter and it had the name Harry James Potter-Lupin on the front, instead of Jason Christian Clark?”

Lily lowered her wand and replied “No, your name, the name your father and I gave you at birth, is Hermione Jane Black. Your father and I are Sirius and Lily Black. My maiden name had been Evans and not Kensington.”

Hermione nodded and asked “What about Jason, I mean Harry and his parents?” Sirius told her “Now that’s where things get truly complicated and bazaar.” Lily slapped her husband and said “Sirius don’t start that again, you know what Remus will do to you if he catches you.”

Sirius grumbled and asked “Lil, have I mentioned spouse abuse over the years, by any chance?” Hermione sighed and rolled her eyes and said “You’re both stalling and you know it.”

Sirius grumbled “You far too clever for your own good, you and your mother are.” Hermione sighed and looked at her father pointedly and yawned repeating “Still stalling Dad. And who is Remus?”

Sirius grumbled and Lily rolled her eyes at her husband and then turned to face their daughter who was waiting. She said “Remus J0hn-Lupin Potter is one of Harry’s father’s, who currently happens to be Mina Clark.”

Hermione’s eyes widened and she choked out “Mina is really a man?” She paused and added “So men in the wizarding world truly can have babies and not muggle men?”

Lily’s eyes narrowed and asked “How did you find out about that?” Hermione replied looking guilty “I found it in a magical medical book you keep in your own personal library, last year, when I was looking for a book to read.”

Sirius chuckled and commented “Only you and your mother would think a good read was a magical medical book.” Hermione and Lily both glared at Sirius, who smirked and put his hands up in mock surrender.

Lily told Hermione “Christian is really James Potter. And yes Harry does have two biological fathers, instead of a mother like you do. He is probably finding that out right now actually.”

Hermione asked “What do they look like and what do we look like?” Sirius replied “That easy enough.” He then pointed his wand at Hermione and said the spell. She was surrounded in an amber glow for a full minute. Her parents watched as the glamour was rapidly reversed, reinstating her original features.

Sirius then pointed his wand at her throat before she could speak. A purple glow surrounded her throat before ceasing altogether. They then watched as she looked down fingering a shoulder length black curl, instead of a golden brown wavy strand.

Sirius was in awe, as was Lily. Their daughter was just as stunning as her mother, both realised she would be a true heart breaker when she reached her early teens. She had the looks to make any man or boy drool and fall over themselves like idiots. Sirius was thrilled.

Lily felt tears fill her eyes, her baby girl was beautiful. She marvelled and practically melted at the sight of her daughters raven curls. She and Sirius truly had their baby girl back as she always should have been.

Hermione looked up at them in wonder, her bright green intelligent eyes alight with so many questions and enough curiosity to kill a castle the size of Hogwarts full of cats. She looked at her hand and noticed she was still heavily tanned, but her skin was a shade lighter and had a creamy tone.

She asked in a voice that noticeably made her falter at the sound of it. Her American accent now had a very slight British lit. Obviously spending so much time in America had altered her accent.

“What colour are my eyes, and who do I get them from. And the raven curls, who do they come from?” Lily replied “The skin tone comes from me, as do your features. But the raven hair is from your father and the natural curls are from me. And finally, you have my eyes, they’re bright emerald green.”

Hermione nodded then watched as her father pointed his wand at her mother and repeated the same process with her as he had with herself. She watched as her mother was surrounded in a bright amber glow. Her features rapidly shifted so they were softer and more pixy like.

She was amazed to see her mother’s eyes shift from Brown to bright emerald green, meaning that was what her own eyes must look like now. She liked them. Then her mother’s straight honey blond hair shifted to bright vibrant auburn curls, curls like her own. Then her skin tone shifted to match hers.

She giggled slightly as her father beamed and said “Finally you’re stunning again.” Lily laughed and playfully smacked him on the arm. She said “So how do I look, I’ve obviously aged?”

Hermione noted her mother’s voice was slightly higher and more airy and lighter. She felt at easy with the sound like never before, it was incredibly soothing. She had to giggled at her father’s response

“Lil love, your voice is finally its original soothing quality. And you’ve not changed a bit, your still stunning, just more mature looking; it actually does you a seriously great favour.”

Hermione said excitedly “Your turn dad, come on, I wanna see all of that raven hair that I’ve obviously inherited from you.” Lily chuckled and said “I’ll warn you now, it’s still wavy, but there is a sight more of it then you’re accustomed to seeing.”

Hermione raised a raven coloured eye brow and said “Ok, now I’m officially intrigued. Get on with it.” Sirius and Lily chuckled. Lily then pointed her wand at her husband and cast the reversal charm, and proceeded to watch her husband surrounded in the amber glow, as his features rapidly changed, and his hair started to rapidly grow out of his head.

After a full minute the glow ceased, lily was beaming as she cast the final charm to remove the altered voice pattern and tone her husband had been using as a part of his disguise. Once the purple glow ceased Lily said in delight “Oh, you look gorgeous, I’ve missed you like this, terribly.”

Sirius chuckled as he lovingly kissed her on the nose followed by her lips briefly. They then turned to face their clearly stunned daughter. Sirius chuckled again and asked “So do you approve, will I pass?”

Hermione was floored by her father’s appearance, it was even more drastic then her mother’s had been. His voice was deeper richer and sounded like smooth honey, it was just as soothing as her mother’s.

But what really floored her were the shoulder length raven waves. His skin tone was rather quite dark. His skin tone had been tanned to begin with, but all of the hot Miami sun had darkened it even further.

But it was his eyes and features that really caught her attention. To put it mildly, her father as her mother said, was gorgeous, if her female friends from school could see her now, they’d all be so jealous and crushing on her father like there was no tomorrow.

Then there were his eyes. Sweet Merlin, they were deepest shade of blue she had ever seen, you could possibly drowned in their depths. She took in the warmth and amusement dancing in the beautiful and loving blue orbs.

She smirked and replied “Yes you pass. If my friends from school could see you now, they would so be crushing so bad on you right now, you have no idea. Then there are your eyes, how is possible they’re such a deep shade of blue?” She added “Definitely liking the hair by the way.”

Lily laughed when her husband blushed slightly. She commented “Great Merlin, you’ve even gone and charmed our daughter. Your looks should be made illegal. I don’t believe it.”

Hermione suddenly asked “Have mine and Jason’s, I mean Harry’s siblings been placed under a glamour charm?” Sirius replied “Yes they have. The glamour charm only changes your outward appearance not your inner. Your DNA and biology and genetic makeup remain the same.”

Hermione asked excited “So you mean the others will be changed back, and will we stay like this?” Lily shook her head and said “Yes they’ll be changed back, but only until tomorrow morning. You won’t be able to go without the glamour until you go to Hogwarts.”

Sirius said “Ok, let’s go back down stairs where the others are. Are you sure you ok with all this, your mother and I realise it is an awful lot to keep away from you for so long, then just tell you all in one go?”

Hermione nodded and replied “It is still a little confusing, but I guess I’ll get used to it within a couple of weeks. You know how I easily adapt to new and different things.”

She jumped up out of the chair and asked “What does Harry and his parents look like?” Lily replied “You’ll have to wait and see. But you won’t be able to see what Remus looks like until later today when the potion wears off and he’ll have to take another dose.”

Hermione nodded and followed her mother and father out of the room.
