Why this must be read: Yes, I have a thing for dimension travel. This is more along the traditional route of dimension travel fic than yesterday's way, and like yesterday's rec, this is told from the perspective of someone other than the dimension travelers, in this case Lily Potter. Lily hates Halloween as it's a vivid reminder of the son she lost. The war with Voldemort is heating up and the Light doesn't have a prophecy child. And then they get guests. Six of them to be precise. And when some of them resemble people who have died or are at Hogwarts, the staff knows something is up.
This time around, we have powerful metamorphmagus Harry, a group of friends who know what war is like and families that are more than happy to accept their new members - even if there are doubles. Oh, and a war to win. Lily Potter and the Worst Holiday, while full of cliches also has some surprises - including how they arrive to their new dimension. More than that, everything that is revealed is there for a purpose. And yes, in the end, we get a happy ending.
A great wind blew out of nowhere, nearly knocking Lily down. She heard screams and shouts as other people around her were unable to keep their footing and fell roughly to the ground. Lily had to shield her eyes with her arm as a cloud of dust and dirt blew by her.
As the dust settled, Lily saw six… forms in the town square. For a spilt second, she thought they were simply great globs of black mud, but then one of the forms stood up.
They were people!
Three of the forms lay motionless on the ground while two of the other forms were barely moving. The one that stood up was obviously a boy or a small man judging by his size and build. His left arm swung limply at his side, clearly broken in several places. He staggered for two or three steps then fell to the ground with a thump.
That's when everyone began to panic.
The scene erupted into a near-riot within seconds; people were screaming and running in blind terror. Some of the smaller students were being knocked to the ground inadvertently by other students and the citizens of Hogsmeade.
Remus stepped forward and pointed his wand at his throat and muttered the incantation for the Sonorus Charm.
"Hogwarts Students!" Remus shouted in his amplified voice. "Calm down!" The shocked students stopped panicking and looked at their DADA Professor and the others stopped running.
Lily rushed up to the motionless bodies and performed a quick Diagnostic Charm. It was a simple charm that she had learned in the war with Voldemort. It basically warned the caster if the victim had any life threatening injuries. The students, Lily assumed they were students as they appeared to be around their mid to late teens, were beaten and battered but nothing life threatening, luckily they were just unconscious. The two forms that had barely been moving before now had fallen unconscious as well.
"Prefects, escort the other students back to the castle," Remus' voice boomed through the streets. Lily preformed the Diagnosis Charm again on the boy who had staggered a few steps; he was the only one of the group still moving. He, like the other five, was completely coated from head to toe in the thick black ooze. His spectacles were covered with muck, rendering him temporarily blind.
"Students: proceed back to the castle in a calm and orderly fashion," Remus ordered in his magically amplified voice.
The bespectacled boy seemed to react to Remus' voice. It was obvious to Lily that he mustered up the last bit of his strength and said so weakly that only Lily could hear:
"Moony… Moony… warn Dumbledore…" his voice croaked, "Voldemort has… Time Turner…"
And with a groan, the boy collapsed.
