A/N: Here is the next chapter. I know the plan may seem a little inprobable but this is an AU story so work with me. After this the story will be completely AU.
Had Things Gone Differently
Chapter 3: Hatching the Plan
After Minerva took Harry to her chambers, Remus went up to Albus Dumbledore's office to tell him what he had just witnessed. Albus listened quietly to Remus talk about Harry's nightmare and the talk he had with him just a few hours before. Then Dumbledore got an idea and his eyes began to twinkle. Lupin noticed this, "Headmaster are you listening to me? I am telling you that Harry Potter just had a horrible nightmare, why are your eyes twinkling?"
"When you said Harry wondered what life would be like had that night gone differently, it gave me an idea," Dumbledore explained to him.
"And you idea is . . . ?" Remus questioned starting to get impatient.
"What if that night had gone differently?" Albus just answered with another question.
"What do you mean?" Remus asked while he thought 'why can't this man just spit it out the idea, crazy old man.'
"What if we could change what happened that night? What if we could send a letter back in time to the Potters and the others in the Order so they could be prepared?"
"Why didn't you tell me we could do this before?"
"I only just got the idea a few minutes ago!"
Remus thought it was a brilliant idea and the got the letters ready. Remus wrote the letter to Lily and James while Albus wrote the letters to the rest of the Order.
James,
The Secret Keeper has betrayed you and Lily, tell her to take Harry to Hogwarts. Voldemort is planning to attack you guys on Halloween.
Remus disguised his writing and only signed the letter with the official mark of the Order.
In the letter to everyone else in the Order, Albus wrote:
Someone has betrayed the Potters. They are no longer safe. Voldemort is planning to attack them on Halloween. ALL Order members except Peter Pettigrew come to Godric's Hallow prepared. DO NOT tell Pettigrew!
He also just signed the letter with the sign of the Order.
They sent the letters back in time to October 31, 1981 to everyone in the Order, everyone except Peter Pettigrew.
A/N: Well I hope you liked it. Just to let you know if you are confused, Dumbledore does know that Peter was the Potters secret keeper not Sirius in this story and he tried to tell the Ministry that but they, being the jack wagons they are didn't care and put him in Azkaban anyway.
