Chapter 1

A/N Hi guys this is my first fanfic. I wanted to say I do not own the characters. I only own the plot. Please review.

Lily and James Potter were at the store picking up Halloween treats. Next week was Halloween and their son Harry couldn't wait. It was his second Halloween but last year he had been only a few months old and was not allowed to go trick-or-treating, but this year he was.

They got home a few hours later because Harry wanted all the candy at the store and wouldn't stop crying until his mother gave up and let him have a lollypop. All of a sudden there was a knock at the door. James went and opened it and saw a frantic looking women at the door.

"Please", she said, "You have got to save my baby! He-who-shall-not-be-named is after us and if you can't save my poor baby he will kill us both! You got to save my baby! Please!"

James was astonished by this surprise visitor so he invited her in for a bit of tea. "Lily, Come here for a minute" he called out.

Lily came down the stairs with Harry in her arms, "What is it James? I was trying to get Harry to sleep." The as she looked around the room she acknowledged a women standing in the porch holding a bundle of blankets. "Oh hello, I didn't notice you there. I don't think I recognize you. Would you mind telling me your name."

"I am Alexis Green", she said, " and this is my daughter Taylor. She was only born a few months ago back on July 27th. And know He-who-shall-not-be-named is after us and he is going to kill her before she even gets a chance to live. Please you have got to save her!"

"Well, what do you think Lily, would we be able to take in another child?"

"Of course we could! Alexis you can stay here too if you want."

"No, no I would never be able to accept that offer. I wouldn't leave you with Taylor but it's my only choice. And if I have my facts straight, I thought you-know-who was already after you?"

"Well, yes he is but this place is very well protected."

"I still can't accept your offer." protested Alexis. She then looked up at the clock, "Oh my. Look at the time. I really should be going. Please take care of my precious little daughter."

"What shall we call her?"

"Taylor. Taylor Potter. You may have to give her a glamour potion once she starts getting older so that she will look like the two of you instead of me and my husband"

"Okay we will. We promise"

Alexis starts forward on the way to the door when she stops and looks back. "When she gets older will you please tell her the truth", she said softly.

"Yes. Of course we will", promised Lily.

"Okay I really appreciate this" said Alexis before she ran through the door.
