Harry stood beside his mother's bed on which she was sleeping peacefully. Albeit a forced slumber due to his sleeping spell.

For him, it was a year since he cast the 'somnus' spell and put her to sleep, but for her, it had happened just a few minutes ago. She would be angry at him and would ask for an explanation.

[Name: Lily Potter

Race: Human

Class: Mage

Lvl: 51

HP: 2550

MP: 5100

Affection: 100

Obedience: 20

Thoughts about you: Love, Pride, Confused anger ]

As he thought about it, he realised that he didn't really have to put her in a forced sleep in the first place. He could have just gone to the living room and could have jumped to the other world without her knowing, because when he would have come back, not a single second would have passed.

'Then again, in hindsight everything is clearer.'

He couldn't remember why he did it, but he must have had some reason.

Not wasting another second on cursing his past self's supposed stupidity, he placed his hand on her face and caressed it gently. He drank in the sight of her. It had been such a long time since he last saw her, he could have just stood there and looked at her fondly for all night if he wasn't in a hurry to bring back his sister from the dead.

He shook her shoulder. "Wake up, mum."

Her eyes snapped open and she sat up awake instantly.

"Harry! What..why did you curse me?" She asked angrily.

Hearing her voice, even if it was angered right now, was enough to make him cry in joy. When was the last time he heard her call his name?

He wanted to hug her and cry his eyes out and tell her all the bad things that happened to him. He wanted to feel her embrace and her sweet reassurances. He wanted to be a little boy to see his mum placate him, to see her inspire him. But he suppressed that urge and grabbed her by the shoulders.

Now wasn't the time to rest.

"Listen carefully, mum. What I am going to say might seem absurd to you, but it is really the truth. The reason I put you to sleep was because I was going to resurrect Iris. Yes, I was going to bring her back to life. Don't ask me how I have that power. I can't tell you. Not yet. But soon I will tell you everything.

"I will tell you all the reasons for my different quirks and there won't be any secrets between us. Just be patient in the meanwhile. After forcing you into slumber, I decided to go against my decision to keep the power of resurrection a secret from you. Frankly, it was unfeasible and stupid and because I wanted you to be with me when I revived Iris. You deserve to be there. Now, come along with me and see the miracle." Harry answered hurriedly and jogged out of the room, followed by a frantic and utterly confused Lily Potter.

Harry led her to Iris' room where they both stopped beside her dead body. Lily was fighting back tears while Harry was feeling deeply ashamed. He still remembered vividly the memory of him leading his sister to her death. He didn't think he would ever be able to forgive himself for that blunder.

She looked at peace as she lay on the bed. Her arms were crossed on her stomach and her red hair flared around her neck and shoulders. If he squinted hard enough, he could have imagined her as alive. But there was no need to squint or dream when he could turn it into reality.

"Repair. Revive." Harry mumbled as he took a step back, away from the bed. A golden orb of light flew out of the floor and hung above Iris' body. Lily gasped in amazement as the warm sphere of light moved towards the still body of Iris. A second later, it sunk into her chest, it merged with her body, making it glow.

Then the glow was gone.

Iris sluggishly opened her eyes and slowly sat up. She yawned silently and stretched her arms above her head before she noticed them.

Thoughts about you: Love, Admiration ]

"Harry, mum? What are you doing… here? Wait! Where are we? What happened? Weren't we on an adventure in Hogwarts, brother?"

She didn't get to ask any more questions as Lily collided with her then and brought her tightly in her arms. Iris was confused why her mother was crying so much. She hadn't ever seen her in this state. She hadn't ever seen her cry so loudly and painfully.

Her own eyes started filling up at the sound of her mother's heartbreaking sobs. She held onto her and let her cry and shed tears herself. When they moved back, Lily wiped her eyes and cupped her face before planting a kiss on her head.

"You are alright now. Harry really did a miracle. I can't believe it." Lily smiled, her emotions jumbled with relief and joy. At the mention of his name, they turned to look at him.

He was still standing a step away from the bed. His fingers were curled in fists and his hands were tucked to his sides. He was pressing his lips, biting back tears. 

As soon as her green eyes landed on him and her lips curved in a smile, he lost the battle. He fell down on his knees and hid his face in his hands, muffling his cries. But they could still hear his desperate pleas.

"I am sorry. I am sorry. I am sorry. I am sorry…"
