Summary: James Potter had the life he always wanted. A wife, a son, a daughter and a family.. but there was always something nagging in the back of his mind. Like life wasn't suppose to be like this. Married to Lily Evans Potter. He always preferred his son, Harry James Potter, over his daughter, Sonia Dorea Potter, and he's actually not sure why. There was something about his son, and it's the reason he's always been attached to him, but he let it escape his mind.
But when the dark lord came, everything had changed. His view on Lily. His view on Dumbledore. His view on the dark lord, Voldemort. Dumbledore tries to separate the twins (were they even twins?), so they could focus on the girl-who-lives, his daughter but James wouldn't have any of it, so James just ran. He ran to the Dursley's household, where he changed his (and Harry's) life forever.

'Thinking'
'Parseltongue '
"The dark lord did this? He did this to my daughter?" Ask Lily, who was carrying the ten month old baby, Sonia Dorea Potter. James watched his wife She is not our wife! cradle his daughter she isn't our daughter either! James! Snap out of it! then turned to the quiet baby in the crib. He gave a small smile to the baby, he was always attached to little Harry James Potter, but he doesn't know why. Our mates son! James! Please! Don't let them do this to you!
Bending over, he picked up the quiet child and cradled him to his chest as the mudbl- James blinked. Why was he thinking about his wife like that? Not our wife! Shaking his head, he turned towards the Headmaster and Lily.
"ah...yes...The Dark lord was coming after the baby that was attached to the prophecy. There was Sonia, Harry and Neville who looked like the perfect candidate... Looks like Sonia here," He ran a hand down her cheek, where the mark of a star was, only to pull away when she whimpered. Lily cooed softly to quiet her.
"Is the prophecy child.." James huffed silently and turned back to the little boy in his arms our child. Our child who is being taken care of that wrench of a woman. He hummed softly to the baby as he watched the pair talk about the prophecy child. Harry cooed at his father, raising a chubby arm up to his face. Why won't you listen to me anymore, James? It's me.. Prongs.. James looked down at Harry and chuckled softly, taking his little hand between his finger and thumb, and rubbing the little lightening scar with the other, when the Headmaster's voice reached his ears.
"We should separate the twins," James head snapped up and he brought Harry closer to his chest No! NO! They are not going to separate us from our baby! and backed away a bit, "for the greater good. Harry cannot be in the way of Sonia's training against the dark lord." James eyes narrowed and he keep Harry closer to his body, growling lowly, even if the other two could not hear him. Let me have control! James. Please. I beg of you. I want out. I want to kill them...
"Of course, of course" Lily said softly as she looked over at James and Harry, a glint in her eye. She smiled at them then looked down at Sonia, sighing. "Give us a day will you?" She asked the Headmaster, tilting her head, "Just to say goodbye to little Harry." Dumbledore frowned a bit, this wasn't apart of his plan at all. but..
He gave a smile and nodded, folding his hands inside his sleeves, "Of course. I'll be back tomorrow afternoon to put Harry in a safe house." Lily gave a happy sigh, while James just gritted his teeth. He wasn't going to let them take away his baby, no way in hell! Before Dumbledore could even disapparate out of there, James took a hold of his arm and glared at the him.
"What do you think you are doing? Taking away my baby boy!" Lily just gasped and walked over to James, taking a hold of his arm, "James! Don't talk to the Headmaster like that!" James just looked at her in disbelief.
"You're really going to let Dumbledore take away my baby?! Our little baby Harry because we have to focus on Sonia? We can do both! We can help them out and train Sonia! There is no way I am going to let the Headmaster take away Harry! Not under my watch! He is my heir!" He said, shaking her hand off of his arm, moving backwards. She stared at him as he searched her eyes, for anything. But that's when he saw it. She doesn't care for him. He doesn't care for him either. We must go. They can't take him away. James let us go already. I want our mate!
"You're actually agreeing with him? Lily... This.. this is not acceptable!"
"We can't take care of Harry AND Sonia, James! With Sonia being the girl-who-lived, we have to keep watch on her. We have to train her in the right way just in case the Dark Lord comes back to attack her again! Besides, we can always make Sonia the new heir."
"But that doesn't mean we have to neglect Harry either! And Harry is the older child! It is his right! Besides where is he going to go?! Your sister's house? She might be a squib but that doesn't mean she knows how to take care of a full blooded wizard! Besides she has her own son right?! Do you really want to send him there?! If she can take care of two children, why can't we?!"
Lily gave him a blank look, tightening her lips together, then shook her head, "My mind is made up, James. Harry's got to go." She turned towards the Headmaster and gave him a small smile, "I am sorry you had to see that, Headmaster. You should get on your way, it has been a long day." She said and then turned to walk out the door, with little Sonia in her arms, James watching after her, more disbelief shining in his eyes.
Dumbledore patted James on the shoulder, and gave him a pointed look before disapparating out of there. James stared into the empty room, then down at the small Harry, who had fallen asleep during the arguing. He let out a bitter laugh and then wiped away the falling tears on his cheek, then the few that landed on Harry. He choked a sob and looked around.
He licked his dry lips before pulling out his wand, waving it around. He watched as Harry's things flew into a bag that was in the closet, hand picking a few toys as well. He fix the room as best as he can, then transfigured a broken lamp desk into a more suitable crib and placed Harry inside. He kissed Harry on the forehead, "We will be out of here soon.. I'm.. I'm not letting them take you away from me, my little snake." He blinked and then frowned, 'Little Snake?.. but..' He sighed and shook his head, he stuffed the bag into the closet and made his way to Lily's and his room.
He stopped short of where the stairs were, looking downstairs to see Lily and Sonia in the kitchen. Lily was cooing at the quiet baby, who was looking at her mother curiously.
"Soon it'll just be me, you and James. Harry won't be in the picture for a few years. He'll be back once you get your Hogwarts acceptance letter." She chuckled softly and ran a hand through her little bits of hair, raising a bottle for the small child to drink. "We don't need Harry. We can just be a happy little family together~" Sonia babbled when she took away the bottle, smiling.
James huffed and shook his head. She never took care of our baby like that.
Trudging to the room, he pulled a few clothes out from the closet and placed his clothes in a bag that was bottomless. He sighed softly and rubbed his forehead. He didn't want to leave, but everything was out of order, and he was not going to let them take away his baby boy. It just wasn't right. Non of this was. He needs to go. Yes! Go! Please.
Lifting the bag onto his shoulder, he made his way back to the nursery where Harry was wide awake, looking at him as he walked into the room. He smiled brightly.
He stuffed the bag with the other one, before deciding to put Harry clothes with his, and then silently closed the closet. He made his way over to Harry and picked him up, cooing. "Aww.. look at you. So big and strong.." He tickling his stomach. Harry let out a laugh and wiggled in his arms happily. He smiled even more. "We'll be out of here in no time. They aren't going to take you away from me."
Harry seemed to understand his words, looking up at him with those bright green eyes, "Bwahh?" James chuckled and shook his head, rocking the baby back and forth, "No.. Lily nor Sonia is coming with us. They want to take you away from me, put you with your uncle and aunts." Harry shook his head, wrapping his arms around his father, "Bwahh!"
James chuckled again and smirked, "That's right. I'm not going without you either. You are such a smart little one." He pulled out his wand, and Harry turned his body to watch the wonderful magic his father usually does to entertain the large baby. James chuckled. Harry always loved to watch the spark come out from his wand. He hummed lowly and swung his wand, transfiguring the crib into a bed. He then transfigured both his and Harry's clothes into comfortable Pj's and slipped into the covers.
Placing Harry on his stomach on top of him, he took off his glasses and placed them aside. He started to rub Harry's back gently, a arm behind his head. "Where should we go Harry? Should we go rest with your Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon?" Harry cooed quietly, rubbing his eyes. He doesn't really care where he goes, as long as he got to stay with his father. "I think you'd like Dudley. He's a nice boy, maybe a year or two older* then you... We should go there.."
Harry hummed in agreement and closed his eyes, James heartbeat lulling him to sleep. James chuckled softly and continued to rub his son's back. He stared up at the ceiling before falling asleep himself.
James please.. You have to remember me. It's me. Prongs. You named me didn't you? You and all your friends. They left, didn't they. After you got together with that.. that mudblood. Please.. James you have to remember the life you had before this. Please.. Was April's death really that bad that you forgot our mate? Our friends? Moony? Padfoot? Wormtail? Even our mate, Prince? They left because you married that mudblood. James.. please..please.. I beg of you.. remember me please..
We have to go. They'll be back tomorrow for him. We have to escape. They cannot take Harrison away from us James. James.. Jaames... "JAMES!"
James jerked awake, almost resulting in pushing Harry to the floor if he hadn't had his arms around him, "Lily..?" He looked up at the woman. What was that dream of his? Who was Prong? Moony? Padfoot? Wormtail? and especially who is Prince? He shivered a bit as a black haired man flashed in front of him. He felt around for his glasses.
Lily patted James on the shoulder, "Come on. Albus is going to be here in a few hours, and I've already said goodbye to little Harry, so I'll be going out with Sonia to have breakfast and you can meet up with me when you have your goodbye." Lily said and gave him a kiss on his cheek before turning around, and out the door.
James grumbled lowly and looked down at Harry, who had woken up when James had jerked away. He chuckled softly, "We'll leave once she's gone. We have to go to Gringotts.. I will not have Lily and Sonia in our family any longer... They'll just have to be Evans, but they can keep Godric Hollow. We can always go to the Potter Manor." He chuckled softly at Harry's coos and he stood up as he heard Lily's goodbye and the door close. He placed Harry on the bed, to let him roll around for a bit.
"It might be a bad idea to do that, with the girl-who-lived as a Potter, but if I gave the daily prophet the reason I had done it.." He grinned and made his way over to the closet, pulling out the bag he had put together yesterday. He sighed softly, swinging the bag on his back, he bent down to pick the baby up. He looked around, then at Harry and transfigured their clothes to muggle worn clothes.
"Alrighty! Lets go meet your cousin again!" He gave Harry and grin, who returned it and he dispparated out of Godric Hollow.
Apparating a few kilometers down from 4 privet drive, James walked down the street of Little Whinging. He sighed softly and stopped to adjust the baby in his arm, who was looking around the neighborhood. James watched his baby, he smiled. Harry hadn't gone out much, and so hadn't James, but that doesn't matter to him now. He was away from Dumbledore and Lily.. maybe the Dark Lord. No... The Dark Lord nice. The Dark Lord our Lord. James..!
Shaking his head, he peered at 4 privet drive and smiled when he saw the car there. He let out a large laugh, and Harry erupted in small cheers when he saw the house. His laugh soon turned soft and made his way there, thanking Merlin that it was Saturday.
He took a huge breath. Lily and Petunia had a fight a few months back, and they hadn't talked since. He wasn't sure how they were gonna take it. He stood at the door and shifted Harry in his arms a bit, so he could knock on the door with his hand easier. He bit his lip and then closed his eyes, "You can do this.." he murmured and Harry gave a coo of encouragement. He smiled and knocked on the door.
He only had to wait a few seconds before he heard the door click open and a "I'm here.. I'm here", and the door opening, Vernon Dursley on the other side of the door.
James straightened himself and gave Vernon a strained smile, who looked at him in surprised. "James..?"
Vernon looked back, "Who's at the door, dear?" He heard Petunia say. "It's James Potter!" Feet came running to the door, and Petunia came side by side with Vernon and Dudley.
"James? Where's my sister? Is she here with you?" James let out a strained laugh, to match his smile, "No.." He crocked out, everything rushing towards him, and what he had just done. Petunia gave him a pity look when she noticed the look and she ushered him inside while ordering Vernon to get them some tea ready.
"Here. Sit on the couch and let me take Harry. I'm guessing Sonia is with Lily?" James nodded and passed the happy baby to Petunia. Harry looked at Dudley, and Dudley looked back. They babbled back and forth with each other and then nodded their heads, as if agreeing on something.
James moved into the house and sat on the couch, placing the bag next to him. He covered his face and sobbed lightly. Petunia put the two babies on the ground so they could play with Dudley's toys.
"James..? What's wrong. Why isn't Lily here with you?" James looked up, tears still running down his cheek, he whined lowly and rested his head on her shoulder. She had always been the older sister he needed. He curled closer to her as Vernon came back with tea and set it on the table as he made his way over to the two babies who were playing with toy blocks.
"Lily told me about.. about the Dark Lord.. has he...?" Fear was laced in her voice and he shook his head. He wrapped his arms around her waist and sighed, mumbling lowly. This is a squib. She is good. Better then that mudblood. She knows better.
"Lily and Sonia are still alive.. but.. but.. Sonia is the prophecy child.. and Dumbledore wants me and Lily to concentrate on Sonia. He was going to get rid of Harry, Tunie! He was going to get rid of my baby.." James let out another sob, and Harry looked over at his dad. He huffed, and then looked at Dudley. His mother and sister had done this to his father, and he wasn't going to stand for it! Dudley seemed to notice the anger in Harry and pulled Harry onto his lap, nuzzling him to calm him down.
Petunia gasped, "They were just going to get rid of Harry? Just like that? Did Lily even argue?" James shook his head again and then sat back, taking one of the tea cups, and sipping it quietly.
Petunia looked at Vernon, and grumbled lowly, "My sister would never do that!.. She cannot be that decent enough to throw away one of her own children."
Vernon looked up at her and shrugged, then looked back down at the playing child.. or at least one of them. Harry had fallen asleep in Dudley's arms while Dudley built a wall around them. He smiled. Vernon liked Harry. Harry was the only one who'd be able to calm down Dudley from on of his tempers. Sonia was always the one to start Dudley's tempers, he wasn't fond of her.
James let out a bitter laugh, looking down into his cup, sighing softly. "Well she did and I didn't know what to do.. so I ran. To you." He shook his head, and looked over to the sleeping child of his, "I couldn't bear to be without him. Something is always pulling me to take care of him.. and.. I just didn't want to be without him."
She sighed softly and rubbed James back, smiling. "How about this? I know that magic of yours can do something and you can stay here for awhile. I can take care of Harry for you while you go out and do what ever you wanted to do, because knowing you, you have a plan."
"And I'll make dinner tonight. Pet, stay with the kids. James go have a rest will you? Looks like you didn't get much sleep last night" Petunia looked up at Vernon in surprise. He usually didn't make dinner. She chuckled softly and shook her head, "alright Vernon!"
She was quiet happy with the out come. She grinned at James and pulled him up, "Common. I'll put Harry and Dudley to bed. You know the room you usually stay in." James chuckled as she gave him a light push. He turned back to watch Petunia pick up Harry and Dudley, who was whining about the walls. He chuckled and started to make his way upstairs. He turned into the guest room and flopped onto the bed, not even bothering to change. He sighed softly and pulled his glasses off, and put them off to the side, before falling asleep. You'll remember soon. You will. I promise you.
Petunia watched James trudge up the stairs, and she sighed. "I'll be there in a minute to help you Vernon." She chuckled as Vernon let out a trumped 'Ah ha!'
Cooing at the babies in front of her, she made her way up the stairs. She looked into James room and smiled a bit. She moved over to Dudley's room and placed the two of them in the crib together. Dudley reached over and grabbed Harry, pulling his cousin against his chest. He rested his cheek against his black turf of hair, and closed his eyes.
She smiled brightly and turned off the lights, and closed the door behind her. She walked over to James room and knelt down next to the 21 year old. She ran a hand through his hair and sighed softly, leaning forwards, she kissed his forehead and then got up, turning around and closing the door.
A few hours after James had left, Lily and Dumbledore (with a sleeping Sonia in Lily's arms) walked back into Godric Hollow. "I wonder why James hadn't meet up with us?" Lily said as they walked around. "James? Where's Harry? Dumbledore is here to take him away!" No response.
Dumbledore frowned and started to walk up the stairs, Lily following after him. He should've just taken the brat that night, then non of this would've have happened. "James! You can't hide from us!" Dumbledore yelled out, "It is for the greater good that you give Harry to me so we can put him in a safe house!" Again, no response.
Lily frowned and walked into the nursery, looking around to see if James had just fallen back asleep. When seeing no one, she turned to leave, only to see the closet open. She frowned, "Albus!" She called, and the Headmaster walked over to the nursery.
"Yes?"
"The closet. It's open. All of Harry's clothes are gone too!" Lily gasped, he didn't!
"Go check your room Lily." She nodded and put down Sonia on the bed, to let her sleep before she slipped out of the room and into her's and James. She opened the closet and looked around, through the drawers and such. She gulped heavily as Dumbledore walked into the room, "Well?"
She turned to face him, and said the two words they both dreaded deeply, "He ran."
Dumbledore gritted his teeth. James running was not apart of the plan. He was suppose to give Harry off, so they could just train Sonia and have her kill Tom. Non of this is going as plan. He should've had more control over the boy when he was younger.
"What do we do? He ran from us Albus."
Dumbledore sighed and looked at her. "I'm not sure, Lily. He wouldn't be in the Potter Manor, he is too smart to do that." She nodded grimly, "And he wouldn't go to my sisters house. We had a fight a few months back."
Dumbledore nodded and ran a hand through his beard. "We will have the Auror's look for him. He couldn't have gotten far." Lily nodded and walked out of the room to go check up on her daughter. They needed James, or else their plan to get rid of the Dark Lord will be for nothing. They'd have to come up with something else.
After a quick nap, trying to feed Harry and Dudley and then a goodnight sleep, James was ready to go off to Gringotts to disown Sonia and divorce Lily. It wasn't done much, but he was determined too. It would be at least a week before the Headmaster would reveal anything about the prophecy child, just that someone had done it. Killed the Dark Lord. Especially since he had ran off with Harry, they wouldn't mention anything until he was found.
He had put away his things in his room, and slipped on his backpack and turned to look at Vernon and Petunia. He smiled at them and gave them a low bow. "Thank you so much. I'll be back in 5 hours after I finalize everything."
Petunia sighed softly, and shifted Dudley in her arms, "You're really gonna do it aren't you? You're going to disown Sonia and divorce my sister?"
He gave her a sad smile, and nodded his head, "Last night gave me the time to think. About my whole life Petunia. It just doesn't seem right to me. Besides, divorces in the wizarding world goes faster then a divorce here in the muggle word. " He chuckled softly and looked at Vernon and Harry, running a hand down Harry's cheek, "and be careful of the accidental magic"
Vernon gave a look of horror while Petunia chuckled softly, "No worries. I had to deal with it with my sister." James nodded again and gave another low bow. "Thank you again. Be good Harry!" He said as he opened the door, hearing Harry's babble, he chuckled softly and stepped out, calling the knights bus.
He turned around and waved at the small family as the bus arrived and he got on.
"Where to, sir?"
"The leaky cauldron please."
"Hold on!"
James sat down and sighed, closing his eyes. He hummed to himself and closed his eyes. Sooner or later, he got off the bus. He payed and thanked the man before walking inside the pub. Nodding his head at Tom, he moved towards the back of the pub and pulled out his wand. He hummed lowly as he tapped on the blocks and watched as they moved apart. He smiled and walked through. He looked around Diagon Alley and soon made his way to Gringotts.
He looked around at the goblins around him and then waited. He looked up from the ground and saw Griphook coming towards him. "Mister potter... I have been expecting you, finally answered to my owl did you?"
James blinked and tilted his head as he put away his wand in his sleeve, "Owl? I didn't get any owls in the past 3 months."
Griphook rose an eyebrow and turned around, talking to another goblin in a language he didn't understand. Griphook soon turned back to him, "Come with me."
James blinked in surprise and followed after the goblin. He followed him all the way to an office, "Ragnok will be discussing a few things with you." Lifting a hand, Griphook knocked on the door and a rough voice followed through, and the door flew open.
"Do come in."
James bow'd to the goblin before entering the office, closing the door behind him.
"Take a seat."
He turned around and sat down in front of the desk. He looked up to see a light skinned goblin, small glasses set on his nose staring down at him, "I'm.. I'm guessing your Ragnok?"
Ragnok sneered lightly at James and James looked down at the ground before looking back up, "Of course, . Why has it taken 4 months for you to answer our owls? We have told you to come immediately."
James just sighed softly and shook his head, "As I mentioned to Griphook, I haven't gotten any owls past 3 months, and even if I did, it is usually a the daily prophet papers."
Ragnok huffed in annoyance and turned around to the large filing case he had behind him and started to search through them, "Then that means you have come here for other purposes." James nodded, then realized the goblin cannot see him with his back turned. He chuckled to himself and looked down at his hands.
"Uh.. Yes.. I..I have. I'd like to disown Sonia Dorea Potter and Divorce Lily Evans Potter." This made Ragnok turn around, and stare at him in surprised before it melted into amusement.
"A disowner and divorce hmm? Entertain me on why you would want to do that." James just gave the goblin a shrug and look up at him. He started to tell the goblin about what has happened in the past 2 days. Everything concerning the the Dark Lord, Lily, Sonia, Harry and Dumbledore. He grimaced a bit and looked back down at his hands, picking at them slightly.
"That.. is basically why I want to do this. I can't have them in the family if they are going to push away my child like that so easily." Ragnok hummed lowly and shook his head. James chuckled softly, "and I'd also like to see my inheritance again, if you would."
"That is the reason we have had to call you in. We want to do another inheritance check again. Something has been toying with our system concerning your profile and we would like to fix it." James nodded and smiled.
"We can do the inheritance now, or later?" He asked softly.
"Later. First we are going to get those divorce and disowning done." James nodded and smiled, but then the goblin frowned, "But why would you do it here? You could do it any time you please, as Lord Potter."
James blinked and gave a shrug, "I would like to have a witness during that time and a wizard would just go haywire if I told them what I said." Ragnok smirked in agreement and he gestured for him to do it.
"I, James Charlus, Lord and Head of the most Ancient and most Noble house of Potter, divorce Lily Evans Potter as my wife, and may she be referred once again as Lily Evans of the Evans house. So mote be it." A flash of light surrounded him, as well as Lily Pot- Ahem. Lily Evans at Godric Hollow.
Ragnok smirked again, and gestured for him to continue.
"And I, James Charlus, Lord and Head of the most Ancient and most Noble house of Potter, disown Sonia Dorea Potter as my daughter, and may she be referred to as Sonia Dorea Evans of the Evans House. So mote be it." Another flash of light surrounded him, as well as baby Sonia Dorea Evans. Lily was already on the ground, whimpering away as the ring on her finger disappeared.
"Finally, I, James Charlus, Lord and Head of the most Ancient and Most Noble house of Potter, give Godric Hollow to Lady Lily Evans and Heir Sonia Dorea Evan and recognize Ragnok as my witness. So mote be it. " A bright light surrounded him, Lily and Sonia once again before fading out. Ragnok raised an eyebrow at him.
Gone the mudblood is~ Gone gone gone. So is that fretful child of hers. We did not conserved twins. Harry James Potter-Snape is our only child!
"Why did you do that?" Ragnok asked. Why would James give away that house?
James frowned and sat back down, raising an eyebrow at him. "Do what?"
"Give them Godric Hollow?" James hummed and smiled at him as he rested his hands on his lap, "They need a house. I'm not going to let them be on the streets, and I'll be setting up their vault for them as well, and giving a few hundred galleons."
Ragnok nodded in respect, "Generous." James chuckled and pulled back his sleeves, "Shall we go into the inheritance now?" Ragnok nodded and sighed softly. He turned around and pulled out a paper and a knife. "3 drops of blood on the paper please."
James nodded and took the knife, poking his finger with it and watched as the blood rose to the wound and dripped down onto the paper. Once three drops were on the paper, words started to appear and he stuck his finger into his mouth before healing it.

James stared down at the piece of paper, before looking up at Ragnok. "Wh..what is all this?" He asked lowly, as he passed over the paper to the goblin, who had been waiting patiently for James to read over his inheritance. Mate! Prince! Our..Mate! Don't you see James! Severus! Prince! Our beautiful mate. Dumbledore will pay! So will that mudblood! Ragnok looked over the inheritance and slowly rose an eyebrow, "well.. I think it means we must bring in Harry Potter for a check up."
James stuttered for a bit, as Ragnok calmly looked at him. He looked around nervously for a bit, "B-but.. Harry.. Harry is the.. prophecy child?! Albus has said tha- that Sonia was the prophecy child!" he whined lowly and slipped his face into his hands. Ragnok chuckled amused and shook his head, patting the paper lightly.
"Harry is the heir to the Slytherin line by conquest, making Harry the prophecy child James. Congrats." Ragnok said, smirking as he slipped the inheritance into the Potter folder and putting it away. James took a deep breath and then looked up, "Okay.. okay.. so.. if Harry is the prophecy child.. then...?"
"Sonia Evans is not, and never will be, the Prophecy child."
James gasped and then he grinned, "the Headmaster was wrong.." He chuckled then frowned, looking down at his hands, "but.. what about all the blocks and potions in my system? They look like they have been there for quiet awhile-"
"This is what I was worried about. We shall be getting our best healers to heal you, so you can walk out of here clean." James nodded, smiling a bit.
"Okay.. okay good. Let us get the Evans vault up and then we shall get myself healed!" Ragnok chuckled in amusement, shaking his head before turning towards the phone and dialing a few numbers. By far, James Charlus Potter is his favorite person to help.
Several hours later, the Evans Vault was put up in Lily and Sonia's name, and James was cured of his potions and magical blocks, he was on his way home. He has so many memories to sort through, the time with Lily and the times with his mate.. oh how he longed for him...
James..?
James chuckled softly as he sat in a taxi back to Little Whinging, 4 privet Drive. 'Hello Prongs..'
James! You.. you finally remember me.. your.. your finally back..
'of course I am.. you can blame it on Dumbledork and Lily.'
It has been too long without Prince.. I'm lonely.. It hurts James but being next to our baby..
'it has helped, yes.. We should go find Prince later Prongs. I still have to check Harry's inheritance and see if he has any blocks or potions placed on him I don't know of.'
Yes.. I just missed talking to you.. Don't mind the memories will you? I will sort through them for you. Having two sets of memory is not okay. You take a nap. It has been far too long.
'I still don't know who Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot are. It worries me, Prong. I mean.. I know who Prince is.. and it's.. it's a shock.. the memories.. they.. they-'
I said do not worry about it. I have been inside your mind long enough. I will sort through them for you, and try to open some blocked memories for you to dream about while you sleep. I am not going to let what the mudblood and Headmaster effect you in anyway, Okay James? You are my other half, as I am yours. Do not worry. Am I clear?
'yeah yeah.. thank you.. this means a lot to me.'
Whatever James. Go see our baby. We have been gone too long.
'Bossy as ever..' Shaking his head, James hummed lowly and looked at the time. He left at 10am this morning, its not 3pm. Didn't take as long as he thought it would have taken, but he is glad that he has Prongs back and that he might have his mate back. A delighted shiver ran through him. And his friends. Or what he knew of them.
They all left him because of those blocks, but also pushed them away. He was going to pay. Dumbledork and the mudblood were going to pay.
He looked up at the taxi driver and payed him before wobbling his way over to the front door and opening it with the spare key Petunia had given him. Opening the door, he screamed, "I'm hooooome!" A baby soon came crawling over, fast, squealing as a larger baby raced after him on two feet. James gasped and picked up Harry as he bent down to praise his nephew.
"Look at that! Dudley you can walk!" He looked up when he heard feet coming towards him and smirked when he saw Vernon standing there.
"Harry helped. I don't know exactly what had happen, but I looked away for one second and Harry was in the tree. He fell, and before I could jerk or react to help Harry, Dudley had gotten to his feet and caught the baby in his arms. Hadn't let Harry out of his sight in about 3 hours since it had happen." James blinked and lifted the giggling child to his face and blew raspberries into his stomach.
"Your second burst of magic! But next time, try not ending up in the tree will you? I think you gave your cousin a heart attack when you fell, and your uncle!" He said as he brought Harry face to his. Harry giggled and slapped his hand against James face and he rolled his eyes, then looked down at Dudley, who had his arms raised at Harry, "You know, once day you aren't going to be able to carry Harry you know."
But either way, James put Harry into Dudley's arms and he chuckled as Dudley carried him bridal style and ran off back to the living room. James turned to Vernon, "Looks like you guys have been having fun. Vernon laughed softly and shrugged his arms. "Yes well.. Dudley likes his cousin. It is no doubt they'll be good friends, even if he does go off to that magical school."
James chuckled and toed his shoes off to follow the children to the living room, "So where is Tunie?"
"She went out to go and get some dinner for us tonight, telling me that I could not shop for life." James smirked and laughed softly.
"Told me the same thing a few years back when I was shopping with her, and Lily."
"You seem nervous." James looked up in surprised and chuckled
"Well.. I have to explain a lot when Tunie gets back, and it is not pleasant."
After hours and hours of talking and helping Petunia in the kitchen, everything went okay.
Petunia and Vernon had taken it nicely that James really wasn't related to them, not in anyway anymore, but they still acted like he was. When Petunia learned about Severus..
"Lily was always jealous of Severus. Telling me how it wasn't fair for her crush to be in love with a snake.."
James sighed softly and shook his head, "I have two set of different memories, but the memories of me and Severus.."
"They make more sense then the other set." James just nodded grimly at Vernon and sighed, running a hand through his hair, "And tomorrow I have to take Harry to Gringotts with me, they want to do an inheritance check on him as well. Boy if you saw the magical blocks and potions Dumbledore and Lily had planted on me.."
Petunia rose an eyebrow, "Magical Blocks and Potions?" James nodded grimly again and sighed, explain what they were and Petunia's eyebrow twitched, "If I could, I would disown Lily right now, so she wouldn't have a name"
James laughed and shook his head, dismissing it with a wave of his hand, "No no. Its fine. I promise you. The goblins had gotten rid of all and any magical blocks and potions inside me. It is the reason why I remember two different lives" Vernon and Petunia nodded in understanding.
"That's fine. I'll be here, with Dudley, and Vernon will be at work tomorrow. Once you're done, just drop by and we can figure out anything you wish."
James smirked and leaned back, "The wizarding world doesn't really mind a squib being in their world, and me being a Lord I can have anyone I really want around. Why don't you 3 come live with me at Potter Manor? I could use the help, for awhile as I settle in with Harry here. I've always had help with Lily, but I mostly went off instinct.. but having Tunie and Dudley.."
"But what about Vernon? How can he go back and forth from-" James waved it off, grinning at them.
"Potter Manor is in London, easy enough for Vernon to get to and go to work." Vernon and Petunia looked at each other, then at James with a grin, "We accept."
James clapped his hands together, happily. "Awesome! Oooh.. Would Lily hate me right now." He got up and started to make his way up to his baby, humming a happy tune. Yay! The Dursley's are going to live with us! Gives up the time to look for Mate and Friends.
Vernon and Petunia looked at each other, but chuckling lowly. "Having James around is going to turn our life around, Vernon. He's always been a little energetic. Think you can handle him?"
Vernon smirked, "If I can't handle a 2 year old baby, why can I not handle a 21 year old man?"
James chuckled and rubbed Dudley's hair, kissing on top of it, "Dudley, me and Harry will be back in the afternoon, okay? Then you and your parents are going to move in with me at Potter manor! Doesn't that sound like fun?" Dudley nodded and got onto his tip toes, and James leaned down for Dudley to kiss Harry's cheek before he ran off to the living room. James smirked and bow'd slightly at Petunia, Vernon having already left for work.
Petunia chuckled softly and smiled at James, kissing his cheek softly, "I'll get myself and Dudley's things packed, and probably have to go through Vernon's stuff as well, knowing my husband," They both chuckle and Harry babbles, hitting Petunia on the cheek and smacking his lips together. She giggles and leans over to let the ten month old kiss her cheek, before she pulled away, herself returning the favor.
"See you in a few hours?" Petunia said, sternly.
"At least before 6pm or before Vernon comes home. Yes, Mother."
Petunia rolls her eyes and turns James around before poking him out the door, "Have fun"
"we will!" James cackled and ran down the street, Harry squealing with happiness.
She rolled her eyes again before turning around and closing the door. She swears that James is an child in an adults body sometimes.
Arriving at Gringotts seemed a lot faster when you have a baby with you. Cooing softly, he followed Griphook back to Ragnok's office. He knocked on the door and watched as it flew open, and Ragnok's voice ran out. He walked into the office again, and closed the door before standing behind the chairs.
Ragnok gestured for him to sit, and he did, with Harry on his lap. "I see you brought Harry Potter with you today.. faster then I expected."
James chuckled, "This time I knew, Ragnok. And today is a perfect day, I'm moving back into the Potter Manor with a few choice of people."
Ragnok rose an eyebrow and looked at him unexpectedly, "and pray tell who is it?"
"The Dursley's. Lily's older sister family. They seem to like me more then Lily." Ragnok smirked, shaking his head. "is Harry ready."
James cooed at Harry a bit, and smiled, "He should be. Ready to take your inheritance test?" Harry giggled, wiggling in his arms, and gave James his hand.
"Smart baby" Ragnok said, as he pulled out the paper once again, but this time a pin for Harry to use. James chuckled softly, "He likes to know what he has to do, so I have to tell him, can't leave any surprises for him, or else he'll cry. Loudly."
Moving closer, James took the paper and placed it in front of Harry and took the pin, pricking Harry's finger and watching as the blood dripped onto the paper and disappeared. He hummed lowly and then healed the prick as words start to appear on the paper.

Contact(s):
Marriage contact: To Ginevra Weasley by Albus Dumbledore, Molly Weasley, and Lily Evans.
Harry stared at his inheritance, not really knowing how to read, he passed it off to his father and then sat there with his arms on his legs, playing with his toes.
James soon also stared at the inheritance. Who the hell is Ginevra Weasley?
Molly and Arthur Weasley's unborn child I am guessing.
'And they want Harry to marry her? Doubt full. He is going to marry his soul mates... Wait why does he get two and I only get one?! I mean even Lucius would have been acceptable.'
Greedy.
'Always have been. But I'm not the greedy one right now'
What are we going to do about the Horcrux? and the Parseltongue.. We must talk to the Dark Lord soon.
'of course of course. but for now, we must deal with this little greedy bastard'
James grinned as he heard the Veela side of him chuckle. He snuggled close against Harry and gave the inheritance papers over to Ragnok, who looked them over. "Looks like we are going to have to do what we did to you, yesterday, to Harry as well today."
"What were they hoping for anyways?.."
"I suppose to kill the Dark Lord."
"'Dark is the Light and Light is the Dark' is what my mother always told me."
"Ah right.. The Potter family was a follower of the Dark were they not?"
"My generation of people, my grandfather was not all that happy about it, but as he learned, he decided to let it go, well the portrait versions of him of course." James chuckled and cooed softly at Harry, who giggled happily. Ragnok smiled and stood up, "Well? Since we do not have to create any vaults or add any money, I suppose we can start right away? and for Harry's magic core, it will only open about 20 more percent, the right amount for a ten month old baby. And the Marriage contact?"
James nodded and Harry tilted his head, confused, as his father stood up. James just grinned, "Terminate it. Don't need that, and I will have to talk to Draco and Blaise's about the soul mate marriage contact. Well, little snake, you have one too many magical blocks and potions inside this tiny little body of yours" He said as he rubbed his stomach, smiling growing as he heard Harry's bright laughter.
"James..! James what the hell did you do?!" James turned to look at Lily, raising an eyebrow.
"Do I know you?" He asked as he tilted his head and turned away, following after Ragnok. Harry stared at his boiling ex-mother. He covered his mouth and giggled, burying his head against his fathers neck.
"James! You will get back here right now and explain everything that you had done! JAMES!"
"Later!" James had called out as he went into the healing section of Gringotts. He chuckled, 'Sorry there Evans. Looks like we aren't companions any longer'
Only the laughter of his Veela was heard as he entered the healing room with Harry.
Once Harry had been rid of Potions and magical blocks, he promptly fell asleep in his arms. James sighed softly and chuckled, holding the child close to him. He walked out only to be ambushed by Auror's, Lily and Dumbledore. He sighed softly and rose an eyebrow, "James.."
"That is Lord Potter to you, Lady Evans." He said, taking a step back so he was at least next to Ragnok, who was also on his way out and back to his office.
Sighing, she followed, "Lord Potter.. Why did you disown Sonia and Divorce me? Weren't.. Weren't we happy?"
Ragnok snored a laugh and looked away as James sighed softly, "You know exactly what you had done, and if you don't, then please take it up with a Goblin. I have some things to do, and houses to move. Lady Evans, I had created a vault for you under the Evan name. There is 10,000 galleons in the vault currently, do use it wisely as you will not be getting any more money from me, and you do not need to move from Godric hollow as it is now yours. Please respect my privacy, as I will respect yours." He said, running a gentle hand up and down Harry's back.
"Lord Potter.. I-I thank you for your generosity but why don't you and Harry move back into Godric Hollow's with me and Sonia? I would greatly appreciate it as it is your hou-"
"I gave up that land from the bottom of my heart, Lady Evans. And I will not be moving into Godric Hollow's, please respect my wishes as both Lord and Head of the Potter house. I must be on my way now. I cannot keep Harry away from his cousin any longer." He said and started to move through the crowd of Auror's, only to be stopped by Dumbledore's arm.
"James.."
"Lord Potter to you too, Headmaster."
"But you must understand.. Giving away Harry was for-"
"The Greater good. Yes." James turned around to face the Headmaster, glaring at him, "But Harry James Potter is my heir to the Potter family and heir to a bunch of other Ancient and Nobel houses. You will not come close to me or Harry. If you do, I will press charges. Have a good day." He shrugged past Dumbledore and to the front of the Gringotts and he disapparated out of there.
"Well? You idiots going to stand there all day or do you need something from us?" Ragnok sneered, crossing his arms. Lily turned and shook her head, her voice quiet, "No.. I.. had gotten what I needed.." she said, holding her baby close to her, she sighed softly and walked out.
Dumbledore was seething inside him. All of James AND Harry's magical blocks and potions were gone. Non of this was suppose to happen. Nothing is going as planned!
James sighed softly as he ran a hand through Harry's hair and smirked, "You have to stop sucking on your thumb there Harry. You'll end up a vampire if you do!" A flash of a male with a odd nose, and long black hair past through his mind. He stopped walking and whimpered.
'Prongs.. do.. you think they'll still accept me? Prince.. and whoever the others are?'
A flash of other people crossed his mind. James was there himself with a man who had blond hair, another with long black hair, and a short stocky one with odd looking teeth and another blond man looking too rich to be with these type of people, a female was there as well, laughing as she grinned widely, at the others, with a camera in her hand. Prince was beside her, grinning at their misfortune before she had pushed him to join them, taking a picture before she ran off, him and the others chasing after her.
They will. They will have too. Prince cannot ignore our calls, his submissive has been gone too long.
A low whine left his lips and he nuzzled Harry lightly and kissed his forehead, "You and the Dursley are all I got right now.. and Prongs of course.." He chuckled lowly and made his way back to 4 privet drive and into the house.
Petunia was already at the door, with Dudley by her side, "I saw you down the street, are you alright?"
James took a deep breath and smiled at her, "Yeah.. Yeah no.. I'm.. I-I'm fine. I'm just trying to remember a few people. The memory blocks on me really did a bad number on me, and its hard to remember who is who."
Petunia shook her head and kissed his cheek, as Dudley reached for the sleeping Harry. James chuckle and bent down to the two year old, "Take care of him in the living room for me? He's practically your brother isn't he?" Dudley nodded happily, "Ye" He said softly and took Harry from James, and slowly made his way back over to the living room.
James sighed and ran a hand through his hair before standing up again, "Right, okay. You got everything pack, Tunie? We are leaving the minute Vernon comes home, but one of you will be driving while I give the directions."
"Can't drive?" Petunia teased as she lead them back to the living room and James chuckled softly, sitting on the couch. He shook his head and smirked at her.
"Wizards don't have cars, Petunia. We use brooms or apparation or a portkey, which I don't have right now. Wizards, Pure-blood, Muggleborn, half-blood or not, have not yet used a car."
Petunia let out a small laugh and patted his shoulder, "Well I will have to teach you one day." James groaned and covered his face, her laughter growing louder.
James looked at the house, and rubbed the back of his neck as he looked around, "dustier then I expected but nothing a few cleaning charms can't do." He chuckled softly and he jumped when he heard a loud CRACK behind him.
Petunia and Vernon both turned around, and Dudley screamed in delight when he saw the house-elf. James took a deep breath and laughed softly, "Gosh, its been awhile since I've seen a house-elf."
The house-elf giggled softly and smiled at James, "My name is Slinky, Lord Potter! Slinky is the head elf." James nodded his head and patted her gently on the head, "It's good to see you, Slinky. This is my sister-in-law Petunia Dursley and her husband Vernon." Slinky looked at the two muggles and bow'd to them and then back at James.
James chuckled and then pointed to Dudley and his child, "That is Dudley. He's two years old. He's Petunia's son. The one he is currently carrying is my son, Harry Potter."
Slinky's eyes widen and she squeal. "Us house-elves haven't taken care of babies for so long! Other house-elves will be happy to take care of Master Dudley and Master Harry whenever you need."
Petunia let out a startled laugh and patted her on the head, "Well I don't have a job, but I could use the help cleaning around, or watching them while I clean." Slinky nodded her head happily and she giggled softly.
"Slinky will gather Moon and Honey to clear the rooms for you, Lord Potter!" with another CRACK Slinky disappeared from their view.
James got up and turned towards Vernon, who was looking around, "Surprised?" Vernon looked back over to James and chuckled a bit.
"I think I'll get used to the fact you have servants as elves. It'll be easier to get something to eat?"
James nodded and smirked, waving them into the house, "yes. They will do anything that doesn't harm them. Like food and stuff like that. Cleaning, helping. House-elves need to have a master to serve, so lots of wizards give elves the job to work. I'm pretty sure the Potter Manor has 8 house-elves in total, enough to keep the place in working order."
A house-elf soon popped in and bow'd to the adults and children in the room, then stood up smiling happily. "I am Moon! co-head elf. Moon will take your luggage to your room." James nodded and gestured to the luggage that Vernon and himself put into the house. Moon's smile brightened, "Moon and Slinky have the other elves cleaning the manor. Tiky will be bringing you drinks and food. Us house-elves will take care of everything, Lord Potter." Bowing again, Moon disappeared with a crack.
"I think I'll go outside," Commented James, getting up and dusting off the dust from his pants. Vernon nodded and so did Petunia, "I'll be taking a nap." Vernon said and Petunia chuckled softly, "I'll go explore the house, see where everything is. Dudley will stay with me and will Harry be going with you?"
James nodded and picked up the boy on the couch (where Dudley left him to go awe at the house-elf), and smiled, "I'll be back in half an hour or so. See you guys soon!" Petunia and Vernon nodded. Petunia got up and took Dudley's hand in hers as Vernon settled on the couch to take a nap.
James chuckled and turned to go out to the backyard. Harry babbled loudly, clapping his hands together. James chuckled, "See? This is where you will be living from now on." He gestured to the outdoors and Harry giggled and wiggled in his arms.
James chuckled softly and started to walk down the pathways of the beautiful garden that had been laid out by the house-elves. He smiled brightly and continued down the pathway, pointing at things for Harry to look at.
"James..?"
James quickly turned around, Harry close to his chest and his wand out, pointing it at the female, and a male. Harry cried out in surprise, turning so he could see who was there. He gurgled in distress when he couldn't see who was there, so he just buried his face into James shoulder.
"Who are you?" He demanded, "And how did you get onto this property!"
The female's eyes widen, and she looked at the male beside her, biting her lip. "I've always been able to get into the Potter Manor, James-"
"That's Lord Potter!"
"Okay Okay! Lord Potter, I've always been able to get into the Manor, I just like to see the backyard and- What has gotten into you? You leave us for Lily, and then suddenly return!"
James growled, backing up, "Leave. We don't need people like you here."
James! Calm down! Please.
'But but- they might be-'
They are not here to hurt anyone, put your wand down!
'Then who are they?!'
The male is our mate, Prince. Severus. The other is suppose to be dead, I-I don't know.
'Their names Prongs!'
Their names are Severus Tobias Snape or Prince, the other is April Chamuel Riddle. James please, don't hurt them. I know your memories are still mixed up but that doesn't mean you need to do this. I don't know why you forgot them, and not me as well. Nothing of this makes sense, but you HAVE to trust me, they will not hurt us, nor will they hurt Harry.
Gulping, James took another step back, and tilted his head down, putting his wand away, "I-I.." He whined lowly and hugged Harry closer to himself and he sunk to the floor, his whining getting louder. From up above, Petunia watched the scene play out before she turned around and down the stairs. She had to fix some things.
The girl, April, bent down and looked at James, "Lord Potter... I'm sorry for the mistake and I'm sorry for intruding... If you want.. we can.. we can go inside and clear things up..?"
"That.. won't be necessary."
April looked up, and Severus turned around to look at Petunia and Dudley. Severus visibly relax and buried his face into his hand, "I'm guessing you know what happened with James?"
Petunia chuckled softly, "It is a long story, Sev. The house-elves had put together our rooms, I'll get my husband to bring James and Harry to their room and I'll explain everything."
James looked up at Petunia and gave a weak smile, "I-I'm sorry.. I-I don't recognize a lot of people," He gave a bitter laugh, "I do have two sets of memories after all..."
End Chapter
*I have no more reason to make Dudley older then Harry. I just needed it for the fanfiction, and having Dudley older then Harry works perfectly for me, even if it means that Petunia had Dudley when she was only 20 years old.
**There is a reason why Fleamont Potter and Euphemia Potter are James parents and Charlus and Dorea are not. In 'Pottermore' JK Rowling had reveled that Charlus and Dorea are not his parents, and that Fleamont and Euphemia were. But if you do have a problem with that, please contact me and we can discuss it.
