First I want to say this chapter is no guarantee of this story being turned into a longer one.
The biggest obstacle to the continuation of this story is that I am unsure about what I want to do in terms of when and why Leto regains her memories. I know exactly where in the PJO time-line I want her to 100% have her memories and powers back, it's the HP time-line that gives me problems.
Anyway, I was inspired to at least add this.

Harriet Potter had always had strange dreams.
They were odd in that she both remembered them, yet she didn't.
She dreamed of being a mother, having a twin boy and girl, but she could never remember what they looked like when she woke up.
She dreamed of being pregnant, running from something and desperate, yet she could never recall why she was running or where she stopped.
She dreamed of teaching a young boy and girl how to shoot a bow, but couldn't remember how she had taught them.
She dreamed of walking arm in arm with a young man, and had no idea why she loved him or what they spoke of.
She had many more dreams, but she could never remember them clearly. At times, it was frustrating, her dreams were her only refuge from her Aunt, Uncle, and Cousin, yet she could barely remember them.
Her latest dream, involved a snake of some kind. As she walked to the primary school, alone since she had no friends, she kept trying to remember the snake, to identify it, but it kept eluding her.
So engrossed in her thoughts, the young auburn haired girl never noticed the blonde man watching her from inside of his sports car.

Apollo clenched the steering wheel of the Ferrari his chariot was currently in the form of so hard his knuckles were turning white.
It had been relatively easy for him to find the mortal his mother had been reborn as. Of course, he was a god that traversed the sky virtually everyday, as well as the god of prophecy and truth.
And a seer giving a prophecy in regards to his mother, even if he was the only one to know who she was, was a quick way to gain his attention.
What was hard was not interfering in her life. When her mortal parents had been murdered, it took everything in him not to swoop down and care for her, especially after she was left on a doorstep. When the Dursley's shoved her in a cupboard and their son beat her, in took every ounce of his godly power NOT to shoot them.
He really hoped his mother regained her memories and powers before they died, then he could show the pathetic mortals exactly why you did not try to harm the mother of Apollo.
But perhaps the hardest thing was keeping all he knew from his sister, or at the very least guiding Artemis to her.
He'd read the notes his mother had made back on Delos, after she'd gone through with the ritual to make her reborn into a mortal body. And while she had been rather broad in her explanation (he admitted it was probably to impose the seriousness of it into him), the conditions of the ritual required she have no help with the intention of regaining her memories or power.
Basically it meant that no God or Demigod could willingly interfere in her life knowing who she was, well unless it was to harm her. He wouldn't put it past his Step-Mother to try something if Hera discovered Leto's identity.
Others could treat her as a hero or Demigod, but not those who knew who she was.
As far as he knew, he was the only god that knew what Leto had done, let alone who she was. Of course the fates probably new, but due to their nature, they were outside the rules of the ritual.
That meant that, in theory, Artemis could invite Harriet Potter into the Hunt, but not if she knew Harriet was Leto. And if he was honest with himself, he hoped Harriet would encounter the Hunt at some point. Not only would his mother have a better life than she currently did and be with his sister, but she would likely have a longer life in which to fulfill the task required of her to regain her memories and abilities.
Granted, even he didn't know what task that would be, but still...
Assuming of course that born again virginity was allowed in the Hunt. She may may be a virgin in this life, but she had still given birth to both Artemis and himself by Zeus, and he wasn't exactly sure how that would work with Artemis' ability to detect virgins.
Just because they were twins, didn't mean he always understood his sister, she was a woman after-all, and hence a mystery to all men, godly or mortal.
Well, maybe not Hermaphroditus, but Apollo was never sure whether to refer to his fellow god as he or she. He understood even Hermaphroditus' father Hermes (who happened to be Apollo's best friend) had trouble with that at times.
Sighing as he watched his mother turn a corner, the sun god, turned his chariot back on.
He had a sun to raise after-all.
He just wished there was something he could do to help his mother...but his help would doom her.
Hopefully her life would get better when she got her Hogwarts letter, but that was still a few years away.
Who knew, maybe something would happen before then and she'd regain her memories and abilities. He really hoped so.
He may be an immortal god, but he hated this waiting and worrying that something could kill her every day and take her from him forever.
Harriet Potter was his Mother after-all, even if she didn't know it.
