Harry and Hermione were in the living room, only he and Hermione were in the house, it was close to midnight, the moment in which Harry James Potter was finally going to become of age.

They were in the living room watching TV. Apparently, there was a movie about some war, but neither Harry nor Hermione were paying attention to it, and it made sense because there was tension in the air for what was about to come.

“Ten minutes,” Harry said as he looked at one of the digital clocks on the wall.

And then, someone knocked on the door. Harry and Hermione quickly ran with their wands ready, then he looked into the peephole before he opened the door with his most enthusiastic smile.

“Please come in…” Harry said, and soon, Remus entered.

However, the older wizard realized late that Hermione was pointing her wand at him.

“Who is Prongs?” Harry asked with a serious tone.

“It’s your father…James Potter,” Remus answered, and then, they shared a handshake.

“I’m glad you’ve made it,” Harry said, and the older man shrugged his shoulders. After that, more people entered.

Ron, the twins, Bill, Tonks, Moody, Mundungus, Fleur, Arthur, Kingsley, and Hagrid.

“Hagrid…It’s good to see you,” Harry said to the half-giant.

“Well, I brought you here seventeen years ago, I thought it was proper to help you escape,” Hagrid winked at him.

“Yeah yeah yeah, you’re going to make me cry!” Moody said sarcastically before he threw a bag onto one couch, and soon, he started to take out many vials. “Potter, this is the plan, six of us are going to take this Polyjuice potion and turn into you, and the pairs are going to be—” Moody was suddenly stopped by Harry.

“Sounds like a good plan Alastor, however, why don’t you give me those vials, and for the ones who are going to take it, please come with me,” Harry said with a serious tone.

“Wait, Potter, what’s this all about?” Moody was surprised by his serious attitude.

“Well, I don’t want to stir up some drama but…What if Snape somehow knew about this plan?” Asked Harry, and they were about to refute his question.

“Don’t worry, Dung came up with the plan,” Tonks said with a smile.

“Let’s be real…Is Mundungus truly trustworthy? I mean, something could have slipped out when he was drunk or maybe someone read his mind during his many visits to Knockturn Alley, a place filled with you-know-who’s followers,” Harry said with a serious tone.

He knew his words were going to start questioning what was going on.

“So, let’s not risk the operation, the six of them are going to another room, then they're going to turn into me, and then we’re going to randomly pair up with someone and no one will talk so we don't give away who we truly are,” Harry said with a cold tone.

“But…But…But—” Mundungus was suddenly stopped.

“What’s wrong, Mundungus? This is a good idea, I mean, doing it randomly would surely make things more difficult for them to find my real self,” Harry said with a slight smirk.

The way he was acting was making everyone worry; they thought he was going to refuse to do this crazy plan, but now he was making some adjustments.

“But...The...Plan...I…” Mundungus was stuttering, and soon he started to shake as if he was being possessed, like in Muggle movies.

“Has he been jinxed? Could he be under the imperius curse?” Asked Arthur worriedly.

“Hermione,” Harry nodded at the muggleborn witch, and soon, she nodded too.

“Legilimency!” She said with a serious tone, and it didn't take too long for her to look into Mundungus' mind. “I see it, someone has put a confundus charm on him!” Hermione said with a concerned tone.

Soon Moody started to act and got rid of the jinx Mundungus had been put through. A few moments later, the thief got back to his senses, he had a confused expression; he had no idea what was going on right now.

“What happened?” Asked the strange wizard with clear confusion.

“Granger, what did you see on his mind?” Asked Moody with a stern tone.

“This whole plan…It was orchestrated by Snape; it seems like he used the confundus charm to make Mundungus pass the plan to us, Snape and you-know-who know about the plan and are planning to join us,” Hermione’s words made everyone gasp.

“Shit!” That was the only thing Moody could say.

“What do we do now?” Asked Ron with a worried but hopeful tone.

He was hoping they wouldn't have to follow this crazy plan.

“This is not as bad as it sounds,” Harry suddenly intervened.

“What do you mean?” Remus clearly wasn’t amused.

“Well, it would be a tragedy if we weren’t aware of what they’re planning to do, but now that we have information, I think we can use it to our benefit,” Harry couldn’t help but smirk.

“Go ahead,” Tonks was clearly curious.

She didn’t know where this confident Harry came from, but she wasn’t annoyed about it; this was better than the whiny version.

“What I’m saying is that we should receive them as they deserve, we fire to kill and nothing else,” Harry’s words made everyone whisper. “We can also apparate and get the fuck out of here as soon as possible,” Harry added as he looked at the clock.

It was close to midnight, close to him becoming an adult, and the protection of the house disappearing.

“We can’t apparate, use the floo or portkeys around this area, the ministry has made this place unavailable for those methods of transportation,” Bill intervened.

“I have another idea,” Hermione said with a worried tone. “What if instead of turning ourselves into Harry, we turn into random people and disappear? I can drive, so, I can steal a car and take Harry with me while he’s hiding under his invisibility cloak,” Hermione said with an awkward smile.

She felt like her idea was risky, but right now, everyone was desperate.

“So, they’re going to wait for us while we’re already gone…” Moody muttered to himself. “Yes, that’s a good idea, Granger, now I know why you’re called the brightest witch of your age,” added the retired Auror.

“Here, I have this in case of emergency,” Hermione suddenly took out a plastic bag filled with hair that she grabbed from a hair salon for both men and women. “I hope you don’t mind the possibility of turning into a person of the opposite gender, the hair belongs to random muggles,” Hermione said with a slight smile.

“Are you sure it’s not cat hair?” Ron asked playfully, and she slapped him on his shoulder with enough force to make him regret doing it, he made her remember the mistake with the polyjuice potion that happened in their second year.

Soon, everyone and Harry turned into different people before they escaped, Instead of stealing a car, Hermione and Harry hid under an invisibility cloak and escaped on his broom, however, one minute before midnight, two people came out of Harry’s room, it was both the older and the younger Harry.

“Are you ready to face your destiny?” Asked the older Harry to his younger version.

“Yes, if that’s how it has to be done, then, I guess there’s no other way,” he couldn’t help but gulp.

Soon midnight came and the older Harry disappeared just as the door was blasted and there he was, with a smirk and followed by Snape and Bellatrix, who had a lost look, Lord Voldemort.
