AN: I have read all of the Harry Potter books and watched all the movies, however, I have not read the Twilight Saga and have only watched the movies. Please forgive any errors regarding character personalities and developments.

AN: The first part of this chapter is written from the point of view of a baby, so please bear with me. Big things that sway are trees, protectors are parents, etc. etc. If there are some things that you can't figure out, just imagine how poor Harry must have felt! J LOL

Chapter 1

Eyes the colour of emerald looked on as a bright green light hit his mother. The understanding that his protector, his comforter was no longer among the living did not reach the baby's mind as such a concept was not one he could understand.

The stranger standing over him was doing something else now but the baby knew one thing only, he wanted to be picked up and held close by his protector.

As a very bright beam of light raced towards him, the baby cried out in fright but it quickly turned to pain and he cried and cried and knew nothing of what was going on around him.

The stranger was gone now but this fact did not register. Hard things were falling down all around him and as something struck his arm, the baby scrunched up his face and just wished with all his being that someone would pick him up and hold him close.

All the commotion stopped and nothing could be heard for a very long time. Emerald eyes opened and the baby started crying in earnest as he realised that he was all alone. Big things that he remembered seeing outside with his protectors were all around him and a soft noise seemed to come from the gentle sway of their arms. He didn't know what they were but knew that it could not hurt him so he did not fear them. What he did fear was the darkness and the fact that no one seemed to be coming to hold him.

His protector who always tried to get him to say "Mmma" was gone and the tears kept falling.

Something came over to him from behind one of the big things and as a loud noise and big pointy things came at him, the baby once again cried out and wished with all of his being that he was somewhere where someone could come and pick him up and protect him.

This time the baby opened his eyes as he felt something fall on him. It didn't hurt but he still didn't like it and his tears fell faster. The thing that had scared him was gone and the pointy things which had been so very close were gone now.

Nothing was familiar to him. No one was there to hold him. There were loud noises again but this time it didn't come from something crawling towards him, this time it came from all around and he couldn't see what it was. A bright light filled the sky and things kept on falling on him. It felt like when his protector put him in that funny thing with the stuff that he liked to drink. But he wasn't allowed to drink it, he was only allowed to sit in it and let her put it all over him. But this time he wasn't in that funny thing and his body was still covered, not like when his mother would put him in that thing with just his body and nothing covering him. The things covering him now were pushing down on him and were getting very uncomfortable.

He cried as new sensations ran through him. He didn't know what it was called exactly but he knew that he suddenly couldn't keep still and his mouth kept on hurting him as the funny things that always hurt him when they appeared in his mouth bounced on each other. He couldn't even see anymore because whatever kept falling on him made his eyes hurt and his body hurt and he just really wanted someone to pick him up!

Emerald eyes grew wide in panic as for the very first time, the baby felt a new sensation course through his body right before all the noise and the falling things were gone. Now he looked around and found that there were again big things around him and as his body kept on moving and his mouth kept making the funny movements and noises, the baby finally couldn't take it anymore and his whole body sagged and he knew no more.


Albus Dumbledore looked at the crumpled form of Lily Potter with a heavy heart. Finding James in the living room had been hard but to find Lily next to a demolished crib nearly broke his heart. The room was destroyed and the crib unrecognizable as a sleeping place for a child. Harry was nowhere to be found and Albus could not imagine what condition the baby would be in if he had been within the crib during the attack. Lily's form next to said crib would indicate that this had indeed been the case and Albus readied himself as much as possible to find a mangled baby within the nearby vicinity.

Sirius Black arrived during his inspection of the place and after a tense few words, Albus was satisfied enough with the explanation from the young man to at least give him a chance and to help locate Peter Pettigrew. Knowing that James and Sirius were as close as brothers, Albus was inclined to believe that Peter had indeed been the Secret Keeper and not Sirius as they had been told by Lily and James. Veritaserum would put all doubts to rest and as long as the young man kept his wand strapped, Albus would give him the benefit of the doubt.

Nothing more was found within the ruins of the house and Albus helped a grief stricken Sirius out into the yard where they did a quick sweep to see if there was any trace of either Harry or Voldemort.

Finding nothing, they both disapparated to Hogwarts where Albus questioned Sirius once more, this time with the aid of Veritaserum. Knowing now for certain that Sirius had indeed not betrayed the Potters, Albus relaxed and offered the use of his fireplace so that Sirius could contact Remus and anybody else he felt needed to know of the tragic events.

The amount of magic Albus had felt in the nursery was staggering but there was no proof that anything else had happened there. Lily was dead and Harry was presumed to be dead. Voldemort had left no trace and Albus despaired that the prophecy had already taken three lives. Alice and Frank would need to tighten their security and Albus made a mental note to volunteer his help with some extra wards around their house.

Pouring himself and Sirius a strong cup of tea, Albus closed his eyes as he mourned and remembered the lively prankster and his lovely wife and the son they had that Albus would not even have a chance to welcome to Hogwarts.


Carlisle gave his wife a hug and kiss as he settled down on the sofa. Living in Denali, Alaska, the Cullen family all had to find jobs and schools so as to start a new life, again. This was a routine they were all quite familiar with. Being vampires, they could not live in one town for more than 8 years before people started to ask uncomfortable questions about their looks and lack of aging. For Carlisle and Esme, this was not quite as problematic as with their "children". Edward and Alice especially were the first targets of these type of questions.

The fact of the matter is, they could not age. The day they were turned into vampires were the day their bodies were set into stone. Every imperfection, every hair out of place was righted and beauty beyond words were bestowed on them.

The local hospital was only too glad that Carlisle could join them and after a long tedious hour in an interview, Carlisle was quite confident that he would get the position. Their "children" had already been enrolled in school and as soon as the new term started in September, they would commence a new chapter in their lives. It might seem boring to an outsider, doing your school years over and over again, and truthfully, it sometimes was boring, but the fact that new technologies were discovered every year and the fact that most of them knew that they were an actual part of history, gave them enough incentive to keep on doing their best to fit in as a family wherever they moved.

A door breaking off its hinges had both Carlisle and Esme up before the wood could even meet the floor. The words of reprimand caught in Carlisle's throat as the smell hit him. One of his children were carrying a human into their house.

Rosalie's panicked words were quickly soothed by Esme as she wrapped the distraught woman in her arms. Emmett laid a bundle on the dining table and Carlisle stepped forward, already knowing what he would find.

Dark tufts of hair peaked out of the blanket and Carlisle's sensitive hearing picked up the wheezing in the baby's lungs. The wet state of the blankets told Carlisle that the little one had been exposed to the elements for quite some time and that the wheezing he heard were most likely the first stages of pneumonia.

Giving swift orders to his family, Rosalie, get me a dry blanket or towel. Emmett, get the car started, and handing the little one over to Esme to undress, Carlisle made a quick phone call to the hospital to warn them and to give them time to get ready for the arrival of a very sick baby.

It was quite a sight to see as the four Cullens and baby rushed into the hospital. Edward, Alice and Jasper were visiting their sister coven and Carlisle could only thank the stars for that small miracle as Jasper still had trouble controlling himself around humans.

The frantic questions and movements from the nurses and doctor drew his attention and Carlisle did his best to explain the situation.

From what Rosalie told him on their way to the hospital, she and Emmett had been hunting when they stumbled on the baby. They had hunted that exact part of the forest just minutes before and were tracking a deer back through the thicket when Rosalie smelled the human. It astonished Carlisle that they both had missed the little one the first time but there was no time to think on it right now. The fact of the matter was that the little one was soaked to the bone when he arrived at their home and although they had wrapped him in dry cloths, the damage had already been done.

Leaving the baby in the capable hands of the hospital staff. Carlisle escorted his family to the local police station so that they could report the incident and find out if anyone had filed a missing child's report.

Two hours later, the family of vampires returned to their home with heavy hearts. No one knew who the little one was or how he had come to be in that forest.

Carlisle looked at the hurt and anger on both his mate and his 'daughter's faces and knew that he would have to schedule a family meeting as soon as the rest of his family came home. The thought of bringing a human into their house had never been as appealing as it was now and Carlisle already knew what the answer of at least three of his family would be if he suggested adopting the little one. He would plant the idea in their minds and if no one had come to claim the baby by the time the hospital discharged him, Carlisle knew what he would do.
