Chapter 1

(Chapter 2 This Thursday at 10:00, @ yourself if you want to be pinged)

“Lily, It's alright, I know how to care for a child, I raised you pretty well didn't I?” Said Mrs. Evans, Lily walked over to the living room and picked up Harry who was playing with blocks on the ground “I know, I know, It's just- Well Harry’s been having some accidents lately.” Mrs. Evans looked confused “Accidents?” James poked his head around the wall from the kitchen and said “A week ago he fried my eyebrows off, I’m so proud of him!” “Anyways mum, just be careful, Harry can be a handful” Lily passed Harry to Mrs. Evans and started putting on her coat, “Again, thank you for coming by on such short notice, we had no idea that The Order was having an emergency meeting tonight and I couldn't find a babysitter on Halloween.” Mrs. Evans cut her off “No need for apologies, I can always find an excuse to spend time with my grandson” She pinched baby Harry’s checks. “And you guys need to get going or you'll be late for the meeting!” “Calm down mum. JAMES!” “Yes, Sweetheart?” “are you ready to go?” “ That I am” answered James, emerging from the kitchen holding a dark brown briefcase, “Love you, Harry,” said James as he kissed him on the head, “And mummy loves you too” Lily kissed his head. Lily and James waved at Mrs. Evans as they got in the car and drove away, little did they know they would never see her again.

Lily and James speak in hushed tones as they returned from the meeting, they turn around a block to see their cottage in ruins, James parked the car, and Lily ran towards the house screaming. She busts open the door quickly followed by James, and runs into the nursery, to her horror she sees her mother dead on the floor and Harry sitting in his crib unharmed except for a single scar on his forehead. Lily collapses next to her mother and James goes to pick up Harry and make sure he’s ok, He tightly grips baby Harry and with tears of relief streaming down his face. Just then the front door creaked open large footsteps could be heard coming upstairs and entering the room. James clutched his wand and pointed it at the door waiting to blast whatever came through. The door swung open with a loud ‘thud’ and Hagrid stepped into the room, James lets out a sigh of relief, “Thank god it’s you Hagrid, We need to contact Dumbledore, we need to figure out what has ha-” James couldn’t finish his sentence because Hagrid picked him up and hugged him tightly “When Dumbledore told me what happened I was so worried, I was afraid something had happened to you or lily… where is lily?” Said Hagrid in a weary tone, James took in a shaky breath “My mother-in-law was watching Harry while we were away, we don’t know what happened but…” Hagrid’s head dropped and spoke in a tone of realization “oh, I’m so sorry James, ‘Harrys alright though?” “Yeah, he’s alright, but why? If The dark lord was hunting Harry, why didn’t he kill him?’ “Maybe it has somin’ to do with Snape,'' said Hagrid “Snape?” James asked in a quizzical tone “Yeah, Snape, saw him walking up to the house a couple, moments ago but when I showed up and he ran off to who knows where” James rubs his temple trying to piece it all together “Let’s go see Dumbledore”

10 years later

The station was packed, Harry had never been so excited to see so many people in one place, the day had finally arrived, he had been waiting for this as long as he could remember. Most people around him were acting completely normal, going about their day with no idea what was going on, However, some people knew what was really happening, and Harry was good at spotting them, he saw a short girl with dirty blond hair walking next to an elderly woman carrying a cat, and a family full of redheads talking about muggles, they were all wizards and witches, no doubt on their way to Hogwarts. Harry finally rolled up to the brick wall and Lily leaned over and whispered in his ear “I was nervous my first time too” Harry scoffed “ I’m not nervous I’m just…” He took a moment to think about his next words “alright, fine, I’m nervous” he admitted shyly. James grabbed onto his son’s shoulders and asked him “Ready?’’ Harry took a couple of deep breaths “yeah, I’m ready” and all three of them ran toward the wall. When Harry finally opened his eyes he was not surprised to see all eyes on him and his family, this was just the way things were, wherever he went people stared, sometimes he just wanted to make everybody stop. “Hey everyone,” said Harry sheepishly. Then right behind him barreling through the gateway came a fuzzy blur of red hair and freckles. Harry sat up on the floor and rubbed his head which he was sure he had bruised, The boy that ran into him was still sitting next to him with a giant rat sitting on his head, “You’ve- You’ve got something on your head” The boy looked up “Oh that’s just Scabers, He thinks my hair is a nest and he likes to sit in it . I’m Ron by the way” the boy, Ron, stuck out his hand for me to shake and I did “I’m-” “HARRY!” James and Lily were running towards him, They hoisted him onto his feet and brushed him off “Harry! Are you alright?” said Lily “Harry you need to be more careful!” insisted James “Mum, Dad get off I’m fine” Harry turned to face Ron whose finger was pointed right between his eyes “Y-your Harry Potter!” Harry was going nearly cross-eyed looking at Ron’s finger “Yes, I am” Ron put his finger down and started stressing out “I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to bump into you, and Mr. and Ms. Potter, I’m so sorry for the mess I caused-” “Stop blabbering Ron!” “Yeah, Get on the train before all the compartments are gone!” Two identical redhead boys were leaning out of a window and calling for Ron “Coming Fred! Coming, George! Anyway, It was nice to meet you, Harry Potter.” Ron lugged his trunk back onto his trolly and speed over to where his brothers were waiting for him. Harry turned around to see his parents had already fixed his trolly, “Alright Harry” Said Lily as she kissed him on his scar “Be good at school” James wrapped a red and gold scarf around Harry and whispered in his ear “Make sure you get into lots of trouble for me” then he winked, “Goodbye mum! Goodbye, dad!” He said as he hopped on the train and left to go find his compartment.
