When James and Lily Potter disappeared from Godrics Hallows in the early autumn everyone feared the worst. The reign of Lord Voldemort over Britain had been ongoing for the past eleven years. It was unspoken but all knew once he set his sights on recruiting someone they only had two options, join or die.

As months past more and more families both pure blood and muggle born disappeared, either fleeing the country or killed in surprise raids that where covered up by the ministry. The Potters where well known for their rebel against Voldemort, but since the birth of their child Harry, their participation in the war had all but come to a halt.

There was more than a couple of people more annoyed about the Potters disappearance than worried, one of them was Albus Dumbledore. He had plan for the Potters and their infant child. He was quite confident that Harry Potter was the child of a recent prophecy and he'd be damned if he was going to let the Potters go without a fight. Their child was going to be powerful, Albus could tell.

Hopefully powerful enough to defeat the Dark Lord Voldemort himself.

Over the oceans in the far land of the USA, the Potters stood outside the house they just finished moving into. They had picked a quiet suburban home in San Francisco as their new start, away from the war and so far it was looking quite positive.

From what the real-estate agent had told them over the phone the area was one of the older and quieter streets, but still had quite a few younger couples living in the immediate area which would make it easier for them to blend in. So far they had seen no one leaving nor entering the houses nearby, but James had a slight suspicion that at least one of their neighbours where watching from behind closed curtains.

The woman turned towards her husband with a worried look in her bright green eyes,

"Are you sure we made the right choice? Maybe we should have taken up Dumbledore up on his offer to hide us." Her husband wrapped his arm around her shoulders and pressed a kiss to his sons forehead as the child continued to sleep in his mother's arms

"Lily, love if we had taken up Dumbledor's offers in hiding us chances are that we would be locked up in a house somewhere unable to live a normal life. I want you and Harry to be able to live happy free lives. Even if that means moving half way across the world to do so." He lead lily up towards the cream white house as he spoke,

" I know your right, I just can't help but wonder what would have become of us if we stayed in England." James nodded in agreement with his wife,

"As much as I worry the same as you, we must look on the bright side. We can start afresh, live our lives without interference from anyone unwanted." Lily smiled widely, pecking her husband on the lips quickly

"I knew there was a reason I married you!" She laughed as she walked through the front door not waiting for James to follow.

"Oh so my amazingly great looks and my witty humour had nothing to do with it?" he shouted, as he ran after Lily. Her laughter filled the silent house as the door closed behind them.

Lily frowned as the door bell rang she hadn't invited anyone over, not that she knew anyone here yet. Drying her hands on a tea towel, she was just about finished cleaning up after Her and Harry's lunch which had been a very messy affair thanks to Harry wanting to eat without any help.

Quickly running her hands through her hair in an attempt to tame it, lily hurried to the door. Making sure that she was semi-presentable in the hallway mirror, she opened the door and found a woman about her own age maybe a bit older stand on the porch with two young children.

The woman had long brown hair that was tied up at the back of her head, hanging of one had was a small boy who looked no older that three. He had blond curly hair and the most gorgeous blue eyes she had ever seen. In the woman's other arm she held another child who looked to be same age as harry, he had short dark hair and every so offen when he peaked out from his hiding his face in his mother shirt Lily could see blue-green eyes that had a sparkle to them. The woman smiled widely at Lily,

"Hey I'm Piper Halliwell, I thought we should come by and introduce ourselves to the new neighbours. You know seeing how everyone else seems to be rolling out the welcome wagon." Something about Piper instantly took to Lily, maybe it was positive confident vibe she got off Piper, maybe lily was just getting lonely without her old friends.

"Pleasure to meet you Piper, I'm Lily Potter. We just moved here from England." Pipers eyes widen slightly

"Wowie this has to be a bit of a change for you them?" Lily smiled, yep she defiantly liked this woman.

"Did you want to step inside for a cup of tea," Lily paused for a second " or a coffee, if that suits you best? I'm sure these handsome young men would like to come inside and out the cold. In fact I believe I hear Harry getting up from his nap." Lily took a step to the side to let them through the doorway.

"Please make yourself at home, I'll be back in two second." Lily invited as she closed the door and make her way to the nursery to get harry.

It wasn't hard to find the living room for Piper, the layout of the house was quite similar to the manor. As she walked into the living room Piper found it still quite bare but only because by the looks of it everything was still in the moving boxes that were scattered around the house. Oddly enough what made the room looked lived in was the play area that took up most the right side of the room, toys and other 'essentials' where scattered around the room. The mess made it looked quite similar to pipers living room right now, making her feel not as bad for the piles of toys and clothes she had yet to clean up.

Lily entered the room moments later with a little boy dressed in overalls, his jet black hair stuck out in every direction possible and his eyes matched Lily emerald green ones. As Lily sat down on the couch opposite to piper, the little boy began to struggle. Sighing Lily placed Harry on the floor where he crawled over towards Pipers eldest son, who was sitting on the floor giving him cautious looks.

Whytt looked at Harry, over to his mother and then back to the boy who was now sitting in front of him. Piper smiled

"Whytt sweetie this is..." Piper paused and turned towards lily, "Harry." Lily whispered, almost giggling.

"...this is Harry, he just moved here from England. I think he might want to play with you, if your nice." Whytt seemed to pause and consider whether or not he wanted to play. Turning towards Piper he pointed at the boy who was sitting on her lap quietly

"Cwis?" As if asking if he was allowed play or not. Lily couldn't help but her grin breakout onto her face again as Piper placed her second son, Chris next to Whytt and Harry. All three boys seemed to be getting along amazingly well,

"I'm surprised," piper said starting conversation "the boys don't normally get along well with other children. This is the first time I've seen them willingly play with another child." Lily understood all too well, Harry hadn't had much of a chance to interact with other children before thanks to the war. They had to stay as inconspicuous as possible, which stopped Harry from having any play dates.

As Lily and Piper continued to talk and the boys began to bond, the warm feeling of hope filled Lily maybe America wouldn't be so bad. She watched Harry giggling at something Chris had done, yep moving was definitely for the better good.

As Halloween rolled in, Lily was getting more into the holidays than she ever had before. She was finally gotten Harry into his pirate costume that she had bought especially for today, as Piper had arranged to go trick or treating together with Whytt and Chris. Although Lily believed that Harry and Chris where too young to understand what was going on, she was sure that they wouldn't be opposed to chocolates and sweets.

It wasn't until she was buttoning up her coat that James entered the house with a grim look on his face. Since moving to San Francisco James had started working in the local police precinct, as it was the closest thing in the muggle world to his old job as an auror.

"I got an owl today at work." James started, walking over to Harry ruffling his hair as he normally did when getting home from work.

"Who was it?" Lily swallowed but couldn't seem to get the feeling of a lump stuck in her throat. The only reasons they got owls was if something had gone wrong back home.

"There was another attack. Frank and Alice are in St Margo's getting set up in the Janus Thickey Ward." James ran his hands through is hair as Lily clamped one hand over her mouth, the other clutching onto harry like her life depended on it.

Frank and Alice Longbottom had been very close friends to the Potters, they had opted to stay in England under the protection of Dumbledore when the Potters left. Making the matter worse was that they had a son who shared a birthday with Harry.

"What about Neville?" James sighed

"I can only assume he with be living with Franks mother from now on." A tear escaped Lily's eye, her grip on harry had tightened again at the thought of ever losing her own child. Minutes past in silence between Lily and James before either of them could speak again,

"I need to call Piper." Lily muttered, passing Harry off to this father.

"What, why?" James was confused maybe his wife was in shock.

"We were going to go trick or treating with the boys, I don't think I'm up to going anymore." James nodded in understanding. He was now positive that they made the right choice in moving to America, who knew what could have happened if they were still living in Godrics Hallows.

As lily made her way back ,James decided to meet her half way into the room,

"Come on love, I think we all need an early night. A good night's sleep will help us all."
