Disclaimer: (applies to whole story) I own nothing. Though I wish I did, only the plot and characters you do not recognize are my own.
Authors Note: Before you begin the story, I felt I should tell you how this idea came to me and about my alternate universe. First off, the story came to me in a dream a year after I have sworn off writing more fanfiction. But this dream was so vivid and to me, such a great story Idea, I had to put my pen to the paper at 2:00 am on October 26, 2004.
Now, for a bit of info on my universe. Do not ask me how, (I will figure out a good reason and add it into the story somewhere as a flashback) but Lily and James Potter did not die when Voldemort attacked them. They got out alive with their son, Harry. All events in the books (to my knowledge in the dream) remained the same besides the fact Sirius did not die in the fifth book. (I lived in denial for a few months after I read that ending…it made me so mad!!!) Anyway, some other order member died that was not of any importance to anyone, but of course Harry still blames himself for the death.
The story opens on the train coming home from Hogwarts.
I am sure my idea has been done before, and I am sorry if you readers are sick of it, but this plot really shocked me into writing it. Please give it a shot. Tell me the good the bad and the ugly in your reviews.
Thank You for reading and onto the story!
