A Better Life
By sailorgreeny

Disclaimer: J.K. Rowling owns Harry Potter and everything else from all seven books, i'm just a really big fan. Jennifer is MY character, she has Hazel eyes, black, shoulder length hair that is always in a ponytail, she has glasses like everyone else in the Potter family, she's not fat, but not skinny ether and is about 5"9'. Elizabeth Green is mine also.

A/N: This is my first HP fic, so be nice, Harry was never sent to live with the Dursleys, instead he was sent to his fathers sister, Jennifer, who was the only other Potter to survive Voldemort attack on the Potter family. Jennifer was Lily's best friend and in love with Sirius Black, he was also in love with her. After they graduated and James and Lily got marred Jennifer and Sirius also got marred making Jennifer Harry's Godmother.

A/N2: The Potter Family is the direct hair of Gryffindor, and Harry is NOT a Parselmouth and he doesn't have a scare in this universe, Voldemort powers had been absorbed into a magic Pendent that he was warring at the time of the attack, the power was changed from evil to good, Harry still has the Madeline because his parents gave it to him.

Chapter One: The way it should have happened


November 1st, 1981

It was a Happy day in the Wizarding world. The news that You-Know-Who was finally gone was spreading like wild fire, and that little Harry Potter was the one that defeated the Dark Lord.
Jennifer Black was not so happy, her older twin brother James Potter was dead and so was his wife and her best friend Lily Potter. Only there small son Harry Potter had survived, and no one know how or why. She know who's fault it was, Peter Pettigrew a.k.a. Wormtial had betrayed them. She knew he was the Potter's secret-keeper and she told Dumbledore this, so that her husband Sirius Black wasn't blamed.
Peter had been caught by her husband, and sent to Azkaban, the Wizarding prison, after a fair trail. Now she and her husband had custody of little Harry Potter, her nephew And Godson, who she loved vary much. She promised on her brother and sister-in-laws grave that Harry would not let the fame, he was known for 'defeating' Voldemort, go to his head and that he would have a normal childhood, at lest, as normal as it can get for a wizard.
