Chapter 1

"Dear Harry,

I just wanted you to know that if you receive this letter, it means you mother and I have passed. We want you to know that we love you and we are sorry we can't be there for you as you grow older. There aren't any words that I can say in a difficult letter like this. We just want you to have the best life you can have. We are enclosing all our gold in your name as when we do die, you won't be poor. Everything we own belongs to you. Be a good boy and we will meet again someday. Be true to your heart...

Sincerely, your Father and Mother."

James put down his quill, and sealed the envelope with a tap of his wand. Lily was standing over his shoulder, with a tear in her eye, holding young Harry in her right arm.

"Do you think the Dark Lord would find us here?" asked the tearful Lily Potter putting Harry's head onto hers.

"I don't think he will, but we have to be very cautious of the risk." replied James Potter.

"It's a lovely house, here," put in Lily. "It's the perfect place to hide out."

"Yes, it is, Lil. Let's put Harry to bed now. It's really late."

"Yeah, you're right." Lily started heading upstairs to the nearest bedroom to the right. James followed, abandoning the note.

When James came into the room, Harry was in his crib, looking up at his parents. "He looks a lot like you when you were a kid. Remember?"

"Yeah, but he has your eyes."

"Of course he does, but your handsome looks."

"I can't deny my charm." James said, pushing back his messy jet black hair.

"Remember when we were neighbors and you had a crush on me?" Lily reminded James.

"I don't remember that part," James teased. "But I do remember being immature and mean towards you"

"Which meant you had a crush on me," Lily added.

"Ok, I admit I had a 'crush' on you," James grinned.

"I wish we have a video on our whole lives." Lily said.

"I think we do, thanks to magical technology." James flicked his wand, and a black video cassette tape appeared. "We can relive our whole lives by putting this in our t.v."

"Let's try it out!" Lily said, trying not to wake Harry. James and Lily left the room, excited about seeing there whole lives pass through them.

James pushed the play button on the VCR. It showed James mother on the hospital bed with a doctor and James's father by her side on half the screen. On the other half, it showed the same thing, except with Lily's mother and their doctor with her husband by her side.

"You don't think..." Lily began.

Right away, with a flick of his wand, the tape began to fast forward itself. "Phew!" Lily sighed. They were about to watch James's mother and Lily's mother giving birth to James and Lily.

"Here we are! First day of school." James pronounced.

"What does that big red button do?" Lily pointed at the remote.

"Want to see what it does?" James asked.

Lily grabbed the remote and pushed the big red button, grabbing on to James. Like a port-key, James and Lily disappeared from real life into a vortex and went in the past, fourteen years ago, when James and Lily were going to start there first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. When Harry didn't exist, and Voldemort wasn't so powerful. He was without any servants. Lily and James were in no danger at all.
