Chapter one: The boy who lived.
A black haired woman walked slowly across a ruined yard. She turned around to the ruined house. In her small arms was a blue blanket. A black robe moved around her legs has she walked her hood was down showing her hair was pulled back into a ponytail. Tears were threating to pour out but because she was a deatheater she could not show her emotions. 'James my brother you fought so hard yet you died. Sweet Lily my kin you died protecting your son.'
Her shoulder shook with the sobs that tore through her chest. Every memory was fading. Every word he'd ever said buzzed through her head, as if they were trying to escape. They'd grown up in this house. They'd fought in this house, and seen each other through both good times and bad. And now...it was gone. The walls had crumbled, and the ground was littered with broken glass.
The woman felt her chest tighten as she stared down at the glass. It reminded her so much of her life; Broken, and destroyed by everything that could never be said. She could never reveal her secret and, no, James could never tell anyone his.
"Bye my brother." She whisper with love and sadness mix together. A small pop was heard and she disappear. The wind blow through the yard as a black haired man pulled up on a black fly motorcycle.
The other end of town
A white house stood on a well kept lawn. The black haired woman open the front door. Light flood out as the door was open. She stepped into the bright blue hallway. A brown house elf bowed to the woman.
" Mistress Potter." He said still bowing.
"Hello Bobby." said Mistress Potter. "Is the Nursery ready." she added in kind voice.
"Yes Mistress Potter." said the house elf named Bobby. Mistress Potter smiles has Bobby ran down the hallway. Second later three house elf pop into hallway.
"Hello Mistress Potter." chorus three house elf.
"Hello."
At the Durlsy house.
Albus was walking back and forth as if he was worried about something.
"Hagrid are you sure?" asked Albus
"Yes sir." said Hagrid
"Who could have found him before you?" said Albus.
At Mistress potter's house.
"Dear Albus Dumbledore,
When we last talked the world was a different place for us. I was among the death eaters who attack my twin brother James's house. I know where Harry is and he'll will stay there til he is eleven years old and every summer after that. I swore to James and Lily that I would care for harry myself.
From
Hope Marie Potter.
Hope averted her eyes for just a moment, as the tears began to drop onto the parchment. Here, in her arms, was the very last Potter male in existence. He was the spitting image of his father, with his wild hair, and that nose...
"Just like James," she whispered, remembering a time when things were not so complicated.
Memory
"James give me back my broom!" cried a eight year old Hope chasing James through the bright white hallway.
"Only if you let me ride it!" called James with his wild Potter hair.
"JAMES HARRY POTTER GIVE ME BACK MY BROOM RIGHT NOW!" Yelled Hope
"NO WAY.!" yelled James back
"JAMES HARRY POTTER GIVE YOUR SISTER BACK HER BROOM AND HOPE MARIE POTTER DON'T YELL IN THIS HOUSE!" yelled a male voice from the kitchen
"YES FATHER." yelled James as he hands Hope her broom.
"Sorry Father." said Hope taking her broom from James. Once she got her broom back she smack James in the head with it.
"Ow!" Said James rubbing his head.
The end
"My sweet little Harry." said Hope walking over toward the crib and putting her nephew in it with soon to be famous lighting bolt scar lined his forehead. "Don't worry my babe. I'll protects you." she walked away and out the bedroom door. She open her pale red lips and let a low whistle out. A snowy white owl flew up the stairs.
"Hello Snow." said Hope sticking out her arm and the snowy white owl land on her left arm. Snow stick out her leg. "Go give this to Proffessor Dumbledore."
Far away.
Albus rubbed the bridge of nose as he read the last lines over again.
"I swore to James and Lily that I would care for him myself," he muttered, sighing.
"Albus?"Minerva said again. "What shall we do? Do we...let her take him?"
Albus rose and began to pace around his office. Every time he turned, it seemed as if the walls were closing in on him.
"We cannot let her follow through," he replied, after what seemed like an eternity. "Harry must go to Petunia."
Then he seen a Ps on the letter. I will never let the MUGGLES near harry. Do you remember how she treated Lily. I will never let him know loneness.
"Albus?" said Hagrid.
"Yes Hagrid" said Albus.
"W'at 'arm 'ould it do." said Hagrid "If we left 'arry with 'ope." he add bravely. Albus paused in his walking.
"Albus do you remember that spell Hope cast on Lily when they were in their seventh year." Said Minerva
"Yes." said Albus says slowly while understanding dawn on him.
"Well she being spell caster. She cast that spell on Harry when he was born." said Minerva
"You mean we can't take Harry even if we want to." said Albus finally as he caught on.
"Right because Hope will fight until her death to protect that baby she has come to love." said Minerva "For once Albus back off and let Hope take care of Harry." Albus for once was speechless and fall into his chair ungraceful to and so was Minerva because the words had left her mouth.
"I guess your right Minerva maybe he's better off with his Aunt Hope." He finally spoke up as he picked up a piece of paper and quill.
'Dear Miss Hope Potter,
Your right the world was different place for both of us. I'm sorry for your lost. Lily and James were greatest witch and wizard of the age. I will let Harry stay with you but if I find out about any abuse I will remove Harry myself.
From
Albus Dumbledore.
He turned toward Fawk which was behind him.
"Find Miss Potter." He said to Fawk. Fawk disappear with the letter. "I hope I made the right choice." he add.
Hope's house.
Hope stares into the fireplace. The flames moving remind her of the day she had choose to make the hardest choice she wouldevery make. A sene plays in her mind.
Memory
A eighteen years old Hope kneeled before Lord Voldmort.
"So a Pureblood Potter has turned evil."said Voldmort with evil crawling into his voice. "Stand up girl." Hope stood up but her head still down. "Speak girl." He bark.
"Not all of us Potters believe or see eye to eye on the same subject." said Hope looking up as she talked.
"So you came of your own free will." said Lord Voldmort as he step forward.
"Yes I have." said Hope with no emotion in her voice.
"Such a beautiful face. Sadly it will be hided behind a mask." he hissed as he cup her chin. "Stick out your right arm girl." He add. Hope did and Lord Voldmort put one of his long fingers on her tan skin. Pain shoot through Hope but she keep her eyes looking forward. "There."
Hope was pulled out of her memory to hear a baby cry from baby monitor which was sitting on the coffee table. Hope stood up and walked toward the hallway and heading toward the stairs. As she walked up the stairs she passed a moving picture. 'Hogwart and friends.' she thought. The picture was of the her friends who had became her family. She remember when the picture was took. She walked the rest of the way up the stairs. Head to her right and opens the door with a golden snitch on it. Opening the door relieve the bright blue room with golden walls paper. Hope walked over toward the crib. Sitting up in the crib was Harry.
"Hello Harry we are hungry?" said Hope slowly walking toward the crib. Harry looked at her with his emerald green eyes. His eyes hold emotion never seen before by a year and half old.
"Mama?" Harry asked quietly. Hope heart sink into her stomach.
"Harry don't you remember me?" said Hope with fear in her voice.
"Dada?" Harry asked. Hope heart sink even more. 'James' She thought sadly.
"Harry baby it me Auntie Hope," said Hope. Harry's eyes bright up and he give her a cheek smile. "Are we hungry Harry?" Asked Hope. Harry nods his head. Hope picks up Harry and start sing a song her mom used to sing to her. Placing Harry on her hip
"Hush my child. Close your sleepy eyes. Let my voice lead you into dreamland. Hush my child. Let sleep overtake you," She sand in a deep rich allot voice. Harry rest his head against Hope's shoulder. Hope smiles has she walks into the kitchen. Walking toward the refrigerator. Opening the left side and pull on a bottle with milk in it.
"Here Harry," said Hope hand the bottle to Harry and he took it. Popping the bottle his mouth. He drank the milk greedily and out of nowhere a bright red flames appears. Fawk appeared after the flames had died.
"Hello Fawk," said Hope hooking her left arm around Harry who was on her right hip. Reach over with her right hand and she plucked the letter out of Fawk's mouth. "Thanks." she added as she flipped the letter. She scanned the letter but stopped when she read the last line.
"Me harm my child," said Hope angry. "I'll show him danger when I send him a Howler!" She add quietly because Harry had fallen back to sleep. Hope walked out of the kitchen and walked up the stairs. As she walked the steps with Harry a memory came to her. The memory was the first time she every saw Harry.
Memory
Hope walks up and down the white material ward at St. Mungo. Sirius was learning up against the wall next to the door watching Hope. They can hear Lily's yells of pain and threats at James.
"JAMES COME ANYWHERE NEAR ME AND I'LL KILL YOU!" Yells Lily. Sirius winces slightly after Lily threat.
"Lily threats are empty ones." joked Hope dryly. Sirius creaks a smiles.
Few Hours later.
After two more hours of labor Harry James Potter came into the world. Tired looking James came out of the room with a blue blanket. Hope walked towards him stiffly.
"James?" question Hope dryly.
"A boy." said James "Here hold him" James hand the baby over to Hope. Once Hope touched Harry her heart melted him.
The end.
Hope placed Harry in his crib and walked out. Walking across the Hall way to her bedroom which was across from Harry's room. Pulling out her wand out from of her back jean pocket. Opening the door and light flooded out into the Hallway. Muttering a spell and bright blue light wrapped around her. After the light died down and there stood Hope looking pregnant. She walked over to her waddled over to her dark rich brown desk.
"I hate being pregnant. Curse you devil from hell Sirius Black!" she muttered while picking up her blueish white quill and a red letter.
"If you ever think I'll hurt my children you've get other thing coming Albus! I'm danger now as I was back then. If you came near me or my children before my nephew first year. I will make sure you see the dark side of the moon! Don't take this has a warning but a treat!"
Hope looked up angry but her eyes soft as soon as her eyes land a picture. The picture was of a boy toddler not much older then three. A small smile graced her lips.'I hope I can change for the better for you my son Jimmy and your siblings.' she thought gentle. Her snow white owl Snow fly next to her owner.
"Take this to Albus!" said Hope calm as she tied the letter to Snow's leg. Snow nip her finger in a understand way.
In the nursery
Harry rolled onto his side with out waking up. A smile plays on his young lips. A black haired toddler looked on but quickly waddle out the door. "Harry" was the boy's only thought.
Dreamland
"Hush my child. Close your sleepy eyes. Let my voice lead you into dreamland. Hush my child. Let sleep overtake you. Don't let this waking world worry you." Sang James in Bass voice.
Outside the dream. In Hope's room.
Hope close her eyes has she picks up her son.
"It ok Jimmy. Come on lets get some more sleep." said Hope place him on her hip. She walked over toward her bed. Laying Jimmy down before she crawled into bed to. The sun was begin to rise and Hope points her wand toward the ceiling and muttered a spell. A greenish white spell fly out of her wand. The lights dim and Hope rolled over onto her side. Her eyes closed and she was sent straight into the dreamland.

"And the Gryffindor Seeker Miss Potter has already started looking for the snitch." comment a female's voice. Hope smiles has she watch all three Slythern chasers going after one Gryffindor chaser with golden blonde haired. Right below them was the snitch. Hope leaned forward and shot into the Slythern chasers group. They scattered away which caused the golden blonde girl to scored.
"Will that was a sneak attack by the Gryffindor seeker. That attack help her team get a point." said the same cool female voice. Hope pulled up.
"HOPE I TOLD YOU NOT TO DO THAT!" shouts James from his chaser spot after he had scored. Hope looked over towards him. Capped in her hand gave the reason she had drive in first place. She had the snitch in the first twenty minutes.
"Gryffindor 100 to 40." started the same female voice. Hope turns around to the speaker while wave the snitch. In the speaker's spot sat a bright red haired girl. A fellow Gryffindor Lily. Her hair was pulled in to a simple braid. "And I don't believe it Miss Potter has the snitch." said Lily. "GRYFFINDOR WINS 280 TO 40." she yells happily over the cheers. James flew over to her and next to him was another black haired boy.
"Whoa James."said Hope to her brother. James's smiles. "You to Sirius." she add as the boy name Sirius reaching out to hug her. Sirius give her the puppy eyes.
"Sirius don't even try that on Hope you know it will not work." said a brown haired boy who had flew behind Hope.

"I knew I picked the right chaser." Joked Hope "Thanks Kateri." she add to the brown haired girl named Kateri.
At Hogwart.
Albus picks up a picture. A moving picture one and in the picture was the Marauder and the wing attack prankers. It was the same one that Hope had hung on her wall It must have been after a Quidditch game match because seven of them where in Quidditch robes. Lily is leaning up against James's chest with his left arm rest against Lily chest. James is leaning up against one of the Hogwart's walls while sitting up. Hisright hand was on Sirius's left shoulder while Sirius left arm was interlace withJames's right arm and his right arm interlaced with Remus left arm.

With His left arm interlace with Remus right arm. Faith's head is in Remus's lap and her arms are interlaced with Kateri's left arm. Remus arms are interlace with Peter and Sirius.
Albus put that picture down and pick up another one. This one is of Sirius, Hope, James, and Lily. Hope hair is pulled into a ponytail. The end of her hair hits the tip of a sky blue spaghetti strap shirt with a white coat tied around her waist. Lily hair is the same has Hope. She is wearing a emerald green shirt. Hope has on knee high boots with black shorts. Lily is wearing ankle black boots and blue jean pants. They were on top their boyfriends' shoulders. Sirius is wearing the same has Hope but pant. James is wearing the same has Lily. The small group were running across the Hogwart's grounds.
A lone tear traveled down Albus's face. A second later another tear follows it until they are like rivers flowing down his face.
"Four young people changed. Two died, One to carry one, One a traitor." He whisper.
At the Potters' house.
Hope was bounce Jimmy on her hip. She was in the kitchen with her wand in her hand. Her front door burst open and in walked Sirius. He looked whipped out and Hope turned around with wand point at Sirius.

"Morning Professor." said the boy. Albus walked up to the staff tableAs he sat down the rest of the school walked into the Great Hall. Some more awake then others.
