I decided to answer one of the many challenges of Whitetigerwolf. He has created quite a few fanfiction stories that I like.

As always, I own Nothing. Not Harry Potter and not Starcraft.

The Challenge

Alternate Lily

-As part of her plan to save Harry, Lily must send Harry to an alternate universe. Specifically, to an alternate version of herself to be raised. Sarah Kerrigan, going an extra step and having James Raynor being James Potter's alternate.

- As part of her plan to save Harry, Lily must send her memories to the Alternate version of her Accepted

- (If the technology or magic of the world Lily send Harry to permits) It must be verified that Harry is biologically the alternate Lily's child, even if they are different species. Accepted

- Lily's alternate must be female and have red hair, green eyes, or both (If the character you want to use doesn't meet this requirement, I suggest changing their eyes to green, as it's a relatively minor detail). The exception to this rule is if hair or eyes were changed from their original color somehow OR if the Character is actually named/nicknamed/Name could be shortened to Lily. Sarah Kerrigan has Red Hair AND Green Eyes

- Harry Cannot be in a M/M relationship By Default as it will be Fem Harry/Femslash

- IF Harry returns to his home universe, whether temporary or permanently, the Alternate Lily must go with him. (Whether he actually returns or not is up to you) Accepted

- Regardless of what universe Harry ends up in, he must still have magic, though it can be interpreted as something else (Example: Harry ends up in the Star Wars universe, his magic can be interpreted as being The Force) Accepted

Recommended:

- FemHarry Accepted

- FemSlash Accepted

- Lily sending her soul to her alternate, which merges with the alternate. Accepted

Chapter 1 – The Ghost

James and Lily Potter were sitting in their living room playing with their daughter Lelianna Rose. However the only that actually knows that their child is a daughter and not a son is her magically bound Godfather, Sirius Black. The reason for this is due to the knowledge that there was a spy in the Order.

They decided that since they didn't know who to trust and Dumbledore said their family was targeted by Voldemort, that they would place a heavy glamour charm on their daughter to try and keep her safe.

When Dumbledore suggested they hid under the Fidelus Charm, she thought it was a good idea. Both James and her wanted Sirius to be the Secret Keeper. However Dumbledore suggested Peter, rather insistently, as Sirius would be the obvious choice, and everyone would believe it was him.

The problem with this was that Lily didn't fully trust Peter. She knew he was a rat animagus, and that was a telling sign as to his personality. She decided to research other possible protections.

As she was part of the Research section of the Department of Mysteries she had access to various restricted sources. She found various materials on the soul, and how to transfer magic and memories. With these sources she crafted a ritual that was tied to both her life, and James life. That should they both die, then it would reach out to another dimension, where an alternate version of herself resided. It would send her Memories, her magic, and her very soul to merge with her alternate.

She created the required runic array in the nursery, and performed the ritual that linked James and herself to the Runic array. All that was left was for her to activate the array as the final piece. She would have to wait until the last moment should Voldemort attack.

All this was done weeks ago. Right now all they were doing was hiding. She was prepared. She and told James her plan. He was slightly grumpy about not trusting Peter or Dumbledore, but understood having a backup.

As it turned out, they would need their backup plan. That very night.

It all happened quickly. The wards around their home dropped, the floo was blocked, and anti-portkey and anti-apparition wards sprung up. They knew he was here, and then the door was blasted in.

James shouted out, "It's him, go Lily, go. I will hold him off."

At these words, Lily took Lelianna and ran up the stairs to the nursery. Everything was prepared. She placed her daughter in her crib.

"Mommy loves you baby girl, and she will see to it that you are safe." She whispered to her.

She could hear footsteps coming up the stairs. It was time. She activated the array, and waited.

The door opened and HE walked in, pale skin with black veins. Runes from dark rituals carved into his skin, glowing an angry red.

He literally hissed out, "Stand aside girl."

She would not, she could not. Her love for her daughter was absolute, she would die for her, and the ritual would demand it if it was to work correctly anyway.

She raised her head, gave a defiant glare, "No, I will not."

"As you wish." He raised his wand, and with two words completed the ritual by taking her life. "Avada Kadavra."

She dropped to the floor lifeless. However the Ritual was complete, and the runic array charged. Voldemort raised his want on the child.

"So, you are the boy prophesied to defeat me? It matters not, for you will not survive this night. Avada Kedavra!" The green light flashed forward.

Had he been paying attention, he would have felt the building magic. Had he been paying attention, he would have seen Lily's body disappear. Had he been paying attention, he would have been able to dodge the rebounding curse. However, he was not paying attention. He was too preoccupied by the feelings of victory until he saw the curse headed straight for him.

"NO, IT'S NOT POSSIBLE!" he had shouted. Even if you shout denials it does not change reality, even for a Wizard. As the curse hit, he collapsed into a pile of ash and robes.

The magic swirled around, a back miasma of cruel thought and desires latched itself on the child, as a wraith of dark intent fled into the night. This foreign magic interfered with the end result of the ritual.

The child remained in the crib.

In another dimension, another world.

A red haired woman was running for her life, moving unseen thanks to her stealth suit. However it did not seem to help. Her enemy was swarming her; such tactics did not require you to be able to see your target.

She ducked behind a crumbled wall as her cloak failed.

"This is Kerrigan. We've neutralized the Protoss, but there is a wave of Zerg advancing on this position. We need immediate evac." She said into her comm.

She got no response, as huge grotesque dog like creatures rushed at her. She poked around the edge and fired her rifle, taking them down. Once the 3 creatures were dead, another one, looking like some demonic cross between a praying mantis and a snake started shooting spines at her. One caught her across the cheek, drawing blood before it embedded itself in the wall next to her.

She turned and ran, firing blindly at the creature, the Hydralisk.

Running along the wall, she fired blindly over the top, until the wall in front of her broke apart and another Hyrdalisk burst through. She quickly fired a round into its jaw, followed by a second into the shoulder, and a third into its skull. It fell motionless, and she was out of ammo.

"Uh, boys, how about that evac?" she asked, uncertainty clear in her voice. Still no response.

Suddenly she pitched forward to her knees. Memories not her own flashed in her mind. Power unlike anything she felt before flowed through her; and a presence sinking into her. Merging with her.

She snapped her eyes open, remembering. She looked around for her daughter. Then she remembered exactly where she was and what was going on.

"No, no no No, NO NO! This was not how it was supposed to happen!" She shouted. She looked around for her daughter. She could not see her. Something was wrong. Power built up in the air, heavy and demanding.

She gasped and was able to whisper one word before she disappeared with a flash. "Backlash."
