Where are you?
Chapter 1: How it starts.
Lily and James sat hand in hand on comfortable chairs by the fire in Professor Dumbledore's office. James glanced at the door, then turned back to face Lily. He gave her a reassuring look and squeezed her hand. About an hour and half ago, Lord Voldermort had attacked Godric's Hollow.
(Flash back)
Outside a warm and cozy looking house with Ivey on the roof and dangling down the front of the house, one year old Harry was outside in the front garden playing in his sandpit under the of the garden. Wearing light blue dungarees apple tree in the far corner with a matching hat, Harry had an ice cream cone (chocolate, strawberry and vanilla flavor) gripped in his hand. While he was busily licking it Voldermort strolled along the path in black hooded robes. It was mid-day and Lily was in the kitchen preparing a small snack for her husband who was currently out flying with his best friend; Sirius Black. Lily was wearing similar dungarees to her son's but her ones were grey jeans and underneath she had on a white tank top. Her hair was pulled back in to a pony tail like she used to have during her school years.
Lily was poring pineapple juice when she heard the rustle of the grass beneath Voldermort feet. As she caught a glimpse of the hooded figure walking down the garden path, she dropped the juice carton on the kitchen floor staining it yellow. She muffled her gasp of horror, her emerald green eyes flashing towards Harry and back.
Harry chose that horrifying moment to gurgle. Voldermort came to a halt, turning to face Harry. As his cold, empty eyes met Harry's warm ones he new who Harry was and what he had to do to save his reputation as the greatest sorcerer in the wizarding world. He walked silently over to Harry. One he got there he bent down and stared in to Harry's face, there eyes locked together. Voldermort took his wand out of his robes and pointed it at Harry's face no sign of mercy on his snake like face.
"Avada kedevra," he said rather softly. Red light shot out of his wand but instead of the end of the wand facing Harry it shot out of the end facing him. He vanished from sight as the light made contact with his body, leaving (surprisingly) ashes in his place.
During this incident Lily was edging slowly out of the front door her wand facing the apple tree. As she saw Voldermort disappear she ran to her son sobbing when seeing the lightening shaped scar on his forehead.
At that instant James potter with his dazzling hazel (?) eyes and messy black hair up to the lower part of his ears apparated out side Godrics Hollow. By his side was his best friend from the age of 11, Sirius Black. His brown straight hair falling in to his dashing blue eyes, which sent the girls feeling dreary. Both the men wore horrified expressions on there faces. Not needing any explanation James rushed forward to his wife's aid. Wrapping his arms around her and Harry. He demanded everything in detail.
"...So after the green light had gone, I saw Harry sitting there, James, I don't know what happened or why he has that lightening shaped scar on his forehead. "She sobbed uncontrollably on to James shoulder. He never noticed the wet patch on his shirt, he just held her tight and whispered reassuring words to her, swaying gently from side to side.
"I think the best thing to do is to tell Dumbledore," Sirius who was standing near by and had listened to everything Lily had said and was surprisingly being serious.
"Yeah Lily flower, I think that's best too. Lets go." James said softly to Lily, pulling her to her feet with Harry clutched in her arms. James and Sirius separated to Dumbledore's office while Lily flooed there because of Harry.
Professor Dumbledore was a nice and mysterious person. However he was unpredictable and often did things that were draft in other peoples opinions .He has long silvery hair that reaches is hip and a matching silver beard that can be tucked in his belt. His eyes were blue that often had a sparkle. He wore half spectacle glasses and was the only wizard alive that was feared by Lord Voldermort.
They met out side Dumbledore's door and knocked. They heard a 'enter' so they pushed open the door. At seeing them Dumbledore stood up and greeted them warmly but by the time he found out about the days events, his eyes had lost their sparkle.
He took Harry out of Lily's arm and was heading out of the door until he caught the look on Lily and James' face. They both wore an expression of confusion and they looked surprised.
"Don't worry," he said at there alarmed faces," I'm only going to go and have a better look at his scar and try to think of the answers to this puzzle. I will be back shortly." They saw his robes swish out of sight.
(End of Flashback)
Just the Dumbledore Strode in with a grim expression on his normally joyful face, Harry was in his arms while the child was twirling his beard around his fingers. A tall witch, with dark brown hair pulled into a tight bun with a net.
"I trust you both remember Professor McGonagall," commented Dumbledore. Lily nodded and took her son from Dumbledore and addressing McGonagall she said "How do you do Professor?"
"Fine thanks Mrs. Potter." she answered rather warmly considering her usual self.
Dumbledore seated himself behind his desk indicating that Lily should take a seat. James had a firm grip on her shoulders. "Lily, I think that the best way to deliver this to you is in simplest form." He took a deep breath, "Harry needs to be separated from you and I assure you that this is for his own safety."
"Professor Dumbledore," James said calmly , "with all due respect but NO!" He shouted out the last part. Surprisingly Dumbledore didn't react to this out burst with anger. He just took a deep breath and started.
"Lord Voldermort has vanished. He was weakened. I trust you know about the prophecy that was made shortly before Harry's birth? Voldermort has chosen Harry. Voldermort has horcruxes therefore he cannot die. The killing curse backfired on him but did not kill him. Voldermort could come back in a year, ten or twenty. But one day he will come back, and he will come back with a vengeance. Now as I remember clearly a few months back you, lily saved his life so your blood can protect him but you personally cannot. I regret having to say this but Harry has to be informed with nothing of this. He has to not know what he is and to do all of those things like go and be raised with his aunt', he said to Lily.
'She is a muggle and would be able to protect him with her blood. He shall be told that his parents are dead and Voldermort killed him on the day he got his scar.'
'But professor,' Lily sobbed on to Harry. 'my sister isn't that kind of person. She is a monster, she's a…a…' Lily couldn't control herself. A huge lump swelled up in her throat that very minute.
' Lily in sorry to say but there is absolutely no room for argument in this matter so please do not attempt to discuss it further. I'm currently waiting for Hagrid to come and take him to your sisters house, I have also prepared a letter explaining everything that Harry should know'. Dumbledore took a sip of water from his crystal goblet. At that moment, Hagrid strode in to the room. 'To ensure that Harry gets the life he needs, we are going to announce your death at the attack. In the meantime, all necessary precautions have been taken and I am now your secret keeper. You will be staying in my getaway world which I will reveal to you later on.'
Hagrid cleared his throat.' Ello Lily, James, Professors.' No one replied. 'Dumbledore took Harry from Lily and handed him to Hagrid and ushered him out. Hagrid went down the gargoyle steps an towards the front door. He emerged from the gates of Hogwarts and mounted an ordinary looking motorbike. But when he mounted the bike with Harry in his arms, the bike took off levitating itself, leading the way to number 4 Privet Drive.
