Chapter 1

Hello everyone! This idea just came to me.

In this story Charlus and Dorea are James' parents. Read and enjoy!

The Wizarding world was in full force celebration. Today the vilest dark Lord of all time had been defeated. No one really knew how or what happened only that he had attacked the Potters, James and Lily were dead and their son was alive. Surprising how news spread around.

Fireworks filled the air, parties were called at various points and houses, free beers and food was handed out in restaurants as owners were very happy, toasts were shouted in honor of the little 1 year old boy who was now the most famous toddler in the wizard world and owls flew all over the place delivering news to those in hiding.

However as much as most of the world was in celebration, there was a somber mood in Hogwarts particularly the Headmaster's office where there was Headmaster Dumbledore, Charlus and Dorea Potter and little Harry dozing off in a makeshift coat oblivious of how his world has changed.

"Dumbledore we are Harry's grandparents and as much as you think he will be safer in the muggle world, we want him with us. Lily's sister is a muggle and can do nothing to protect him. There are still death eaters out there who will could after him. Beside, Petunia wouldn't be able to teach him about our ways." said Charlus looking at Dumbledore sternly.

Charlus respected Dumbledore a lot but he felt the man often thought his ideas were better than others and often failed to see other ways to his so called plans.

"There will be blood wards. No one will be able to find him. it is better he grows up away from all the fame that will come with this don't you think?" said Dumbledore.

He knew Charlus Potter, Lord of House Potter, elite, rich pureblood and aristocrat married to Dorea Black another pureblood. They were the typical pureblood couple who had influence in the Wizangamot and the Wizarding world. They did not join the order (believe me he had tried to persuade them to but as seen they were not the easiest people to convince) but were against Voldemort's ways. Dumbledore had to admit he had been surprised when James joined the Order but apparently they allowed their son to make his own decisions.

Dorea was aghast and stared at the man with her red rimmed eyes. "Harry does not even know Petunia and from what we have seen, Petunia wanted nothing to do with Lily. What makes you think she will want anything to do with her son? He has magic which Petunia thinks is freaky. We are taking our grandson and we will protect him from the fame! Your plans and suggestions be damned. We listened to you when you said it was better for James and Lily to go into hiding At Godric Hollow instead of coming to Potter manor. Look where that got us? We lost our son and daughter!" said Dorea before dissolving into tears. the normally regal Dorea collapsed under the grief of losing her only son.

Dumbledore knew that particular decision would come back to haunt him and it had. he had thought Potter manor would be too obvious and under a secret keeper, James and Lily would be safe. Turns out he was wrong and he would forever regret it.

Charlus glared at Dumbledore. "I only meant what was best for Harry." said Dumbledore realizing he was losing the battle. In all honesty not meaning to disrespect the Potters, he thought it would be best for Harry to be away from the wizard world and seeing the track record the Potters had with James being so spoiled and arrogant when he was younger…he didn't want Harry to feel he was entitled. He sighed realizing he had lost on that.

"We know what is best for our grandson. Just because James and Lily were in the order does not give you the right to rule over their son. They were merely fighting for peace and a good cause and not your possessions." growled Charlus. It was clear he blamed Dumbledore immensely for the loss of his son and Dumbledore knew it would be hard to mend the rifts.

"I believe this meeting is over." said Charlus sternly rising. Dorea took Harry who stirred briefly before he went back to sleep in his grandmother's arms and the couple left to start their life raising their grandson.

Hey anyone ever wonder how Dumbledore knew Lily sacrificed herself? I mean there was just Harry, James, Lily and Voldemort yet immediately after James and Lily die, Harry is taken to the Dusleys using blood wards based on his mother's sacrifice. How did Dumbledore know what had happened?
