AN: Sadly, neither the Twilight nor the Harry Potter universe belongs to me.
Today was not a good day. Of course, that could be said for the previous seventeen days as well, but who was counting? Harry sighed. Of all the places to end up, it had to be the wettest, dreariest town imaginable. Forks, Washington. Home to 3,200 humans, 7 vampires, 1 outcast savior of the wizarding world, and a pack of werewolves just down the road. Not exactly what he had in mind when he was looking for a completely non-magical, 100% free of the preternatural community to hide out in, but it would do. Besides, the Potters already had a cottage there hidden away from the magical world.
Elijah Potter, Harry's great, great uncle, twice removed, had been a squib. In an attempt to get as far away from his family as possible, when he was seventeen he used the majority of his trust fund to set up his life as far away from Britain as he could get and still be in an English-speaking country. Australia, of course, was not an option. Way too many wizards there. Which left the United States. So he chose Forks, a little hole-in-wall, middle-of-nowhere town where no one in their right mind would follow him.
Of course, he hadn't planned on having a very obviously magical, metamorphmagus son. Eight years after leaving magical Britain behind, Elijah Potter was back at Potter Manor to raise his son in a magical environment where he wouldn't be in danger of changing forms and colors in the presence of muggles. He sent a couple house elves to Forks to maintain the house, and sent the deed, along with documentation of all his muggle accounts and investments, to Gringotts, to be in the safekeeping of the goblins in the case that any Potter descendants would need an escape from magic. Seventy-two years later, twenty-two year old Harry Potter found himself and his daughter thrust from magical society, with nowhere to hide but a hidden-away house in Forks, Washington.
Very short, I know, but I wanted to get something down so that I had someplace to start. Leave a review please!
