"There was a prophecy made before you were born. Dumbledore never told us exactly what it said, but it meant that either you or Neville Longbottom would have defeat Voldemort. Things have changed since then, and it's clear that it has to be you." Lily said sadly.
"But how? He's better than me-"
"No!" James yelled. "He may be stronger, but he is not better than you."
"He is stronger. And if I do get back to my body I am still going to be surrounded by Voldemort and his Death Eaters with no way to escape. Then, if by some miracle I do escape, I have no idea where to look for his Horcruxes." Harry said in frustration. He simply did not see a way to make it work.
"We will help you, Harry." Lily said softly. "Or to be more precise, we will force Voldemort to help you."
"How?" Harry asked.
"That piece of his soul he put inside you contained all of his personality and intellect right up until the moment he separated it from the rest of his soul. We can take parts out and give them to you." James said with a proud smile, as if it had been his idea.
"So you can just give me all of his knowledge?" Harry said, realizing how this could help him.
"Not exactly." Lily replied. "You see it's impossible to seperate his personality from the things he knows, so the more information we take out of him and put in you the more of his personality will also get transferred. If you took everything you would basically become him."
"So what do I get?" Harry asked.
"Everything he knows about his Horcruxes. That way you should be able to make him mortal again and then kill him." Lily explained. "And then his knowledge on how to apparate. Use that to escape the cemetery and make it back to Hogwarts. Those are the only things we dare pull from him."
"This is going to change my personality isn't it? How much?
"We're not taking much, so it shouldn't even be noticable." James answered. "We're trying to be as careful as we can."
"Ok then. I'll do it." Harry said finally. "Do I have to go now?"
"Yes, I'm sorry but you do." Lily said with tears in her eyes. She pulled Harry and her husband into another hug which they happily returned. "You'll see us again one day, Harry. But hopefully not for many more years. Never forget that we love you very much."
"I love you too Mom, and you Dad." Harry replied. Soon they were all crying and holding each other. They stayed this way for a few moments, but then Harry felt everything start to change. He felt like he was being pulled away from them by some undeniable force. His parents let go of him and began waving good-bye, but his vision was starting to cloud and he could no longer see them clearly. Then everything suddenly went black.
...
The first thing Harry felt when he returned to his body was the dull ache that came as a result from the Cruciatus curse. He knew in that moment that he was alive again. He laid there for a minute listening to Voldemort give a speech about his plans for world domination and hoping no one had seen his eyes close. Harry expected someone to point out at any moment that he was still alive, but all attention was apparently still on Voldemort.
Harry finally got the courage to slightly open his eyes and glance around. The Death Eater were all facing away from him and towards the Dark Lord in such a way that only Voldemort could possibly notice that his eyes were open. He noticed with a small amount of surprise that no one had bothered to take his wand out of his hand, apparently they were convinced he was dead.
His parents had told him to apparate out, and when Harry concentrated on the subject he realized he knew almost everything about it. He even knew that he could apparate to a standing position from laying on the ground where he was. Voldemort had studied apparition extensively. Harry wondered what chaos he could cause before leaving when he noticed that Wormtail was standing at the back of the group being ignored by everyone. He had already dropped to the lowest spot on the Death Eater hiearchy. Grinning, a plan quickly came together in his head.
Harry watched and waited for his chance. Finally Voldemort ended his speech to the cheers of his loyal followers. In that moment Harry apparated to a standing position right behind Wormtail. No one had even noticed him moving around.
"Hey Tom!" Harry yelled as he grabbed Wormtail's arm. "Did anyone ever tell you that you suck at that spell?" The Death Eaters turned and stared at him in shock. Voldemort was equally surprised but had the presence of mind to raise his wand at Harry. He was too late though. Before anyone could stop him Harry had apparated both himself and Wormtail out of the cemetery and back to Hogwarts.
