"I could save you," Carlisle whispered into the darkness.

"'Arry is zat you," Fleur asked in shock when she Jamie answered the mirror. Jamie gave her an amused grin.
"Yeah," Jamie answered. "It seems that I was born a girl. My parents gave me a gender changing potion to keep me safe. They didn't count on the fact that they would die before they could tell me themselves. What's going on over there, Fleur?"
"We 'ave a big problem," Fleur informed her. "I overhead mom and dad talking. Dumbledore heard about kidnapping."
"He did," Jamie said shocked. "I can't believe it."
"Normally yes but Dumblydoore has managed to override the charm zat is hiding you," Fleur informed her. Fleur tilted her head. "Zhat do I call you?"
"Jamie Potter," Jamie cheekily informed her.
6 months years previous the car accident...
"Zhat iz your name," Fleur asked the young man in the swing next to her. He looked up shocked and it was then Fleur noticed the clothing he was wearing.
"They call me Freak," he answered and then tilted his head. It seems he didn't notice Fleur's shocked gasp. "What is yours?"
"Fleur. Fleur Delacour," Fleur answered.
"I want to leave here Fleur," Harry quietly informed her. It had been a year since they had last seen each other.
"I know Harry," Fleur responded as she swung back and forth on the swing. "Mom and dad are working on getting you out of there." It went quiet for a moment.
"Harry, remember if something should happen to the Dursley I want you to immediately to contact my parents. They can help you. Mom said to leave a note so that if they come looking for you they know you left willingly. Take anything you need and want to bring with you. After you call my parents and you are out of the house go to pay phone and call the police." Harry looked up confused.
"Why are you telling me this," Harry asked confused. A smile spread across her face.
"Just in case," Fleur informed him.
"Welcome home Jamie," Fleur said as she enveloped her friend in a hug. Apolline smiled as she entered the room. Apolline hugged Jamie next. A scar that went from her eye to her eye was the only remaining physical sign of the kidnapping.
"Welcome to our home," Apolline greeted her.
"Rosalie where is the note Jamie left," Alice asked as she bounced into the room. She stopped when she saw Rosalie starring at something in horror. Alice walked over to see that the note was on the desk as well as spilled water from what appeared to be a broken flower vase.
"I can't read it anymore," Rosalie said brokenly. "Her words – they're gone!"
"Do you think we should tell her about me being her mate?"
"No, we need to let her adjust to us being Vampires before throwing that on her." Jamie allowed herself to be lulled back to sleep but not before she made a mental note to see if they would tell her at the same they would tell her about being Vampires.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday," the Unspeakable's sang. Jamie gritted her teeth in annoyance. "Happy birthday to JAMIE!" They cheered as she blew out the candles.
"How old are you today," the head unspeakable asked.
"Well seeing as I am living each year twice for 2 six years – I am now 20," Jamie answered with a grin. "It's hard to believe that I was only 18 when I arrived in France."
"You want me to go to Beauxbatons while I work as an Unspeakable at the same time," Jamie screeched. "Are you insane?"
"Dear you need to go to school or the British ministry's attention will be drawn here,"Apolline answered. "Besides you have the time turner so you can make it work."
"Fine," Jamie huffed.
"How long has it been, Jamie," Erica, her friend asked.
"Nearly 4 years," Jamie answered. Nearly 2 for them.
"Do you miss them," Erica asked. Jamie sighed.
"Every second of the day," Jamie answered.
"Albus there is no Harry Potter on the list," Minerva insisted as they walked down Privet Drive. Albus raised a crinkly hand and knocked on the door of number 4. The door swung open within the minute to reveal a young woman holding an infant in her arms.
"Yes," She answered.
"Are the Dursley's here," Albus asked. The woman shook her head.
"No they did in a car crash years ago along with their son– 5 years ago I believe," the woman informed him.
"What about their nephew, Harry," Albus asked.
"He went missing 3 days after the crash," the woman told him. "Left a note if I remember correctly; I believe the police still have it if you want to look at it."
"I am here about case from a couple days ago," Albus informed the officer.
"What is the case about," the officer asked.
"A 17 year old boy named Harry Potter," Albus answered promptly. The surprise was clear on the officer's face.
"I remember the case," the officer recalled as he pulled out the file. "One of the first missing cases I worked." He handed the file to the headmaster. The first thing Albus noticed when he opened the case file was a note that read:
Dear whoever should find this:
I am the nephew of Vernon and Petunia Dursley and the cousin to their son, Dudley. I have been here waiting for three days when I got the message about them being in an accident and not surviving. I cannot bring myself to feel sad about this as this had finally released me from their horrid care. I have seen more horrors then a man in war. They are related to a woman named Marge Dursley. Her information is on the fridge and I am onto greater adventures. I hope that I am never found as I know that no one will ever listen to me and I am tired of being invisible.
Sincerely,
The boy named FREAK
P.S. – If I find whoever put me here they will pay for the pain they caused me to suffer.
Carlisle sighed. It was just him and Edward. The family had gone on ahead. It was near the end of his shift in the clinic. Edward sat in a chair nearby reading. Carlisle looked up when the door opened to reveal the nurse and a small kid- he looked to be 3 maybe 4 years old. As Carlisle got a closer look he felt his stomach sink – the kid was a mess.
"Are you in pain anywhere," Carlisle asked the kid. He looked up.
"How can I know when I am in pain if that is all I have known," he asked.
"It seems Mr. Potter you have a relative still alive – a Rosalie Hale," the goblin informed Harry as he pointed a gnarled finger at Harry's ancestry. Harry looked at the place that the goblin was pointing to and stared at it. The goblin studied Harry as he suddenly went quiet. It was only when Harry looked up did the Goblin see the tears of happiness sliding down his face.
"I have family," Harry whispered in shock.
"He's coming here," Alice squealed once again. Rosalie nodded dumbfounded and headed up to Emmett's and her room. All Rosalie had ever wanted was a happy family – something she longed for even when she still had been alive. With a sigh she pulled out an aging photo from her desk drawer. In the photo was her and her younger sister – Lillian Hale.
She remembered watching Lillian when she greeted her son into the world; Lillian had been so happy. Rosalie hadn't seen her sister since. She now knew what happened to her nephew – he had made his way in the world and married into a family that would later on lead to her great (by many times) nephew. As Rosalie put the picture back she whispered something into the air.
"I have a family," Rosalie whispered.
"Minister Fudge I believe we are in agreement," Albus said as he shook the minister's hand and left with the papers that were necessary to pick up Harry from the house in Forks, Washington. He was brought out of his musings by Minerva.
"Albus, you should leave the boy alone," Minerva told the headmaster. "If he has managed to make it that far – he is not alone. I won't let you go after him." Albus sighed.
"I am sorry Minerva but I have to do this," Albus said as he pulled out his wand. "Obliviate."
"Minerva when Harry is 17 Harry's name is going to disappear from the list," Lily informed her as she paced around Minerva's office. "When that happens you MUST not tell Albus. It is crucial that you do this for me." Minerva nodded in agreement. Lily turned to leave.
"Be safe Lily," Minerva told her as she left. Lily gave a nod of acknowledgment and left.
"What are you guys going to call her," Sirius asked as he cooed at the young girl in his arms. Lily and James sighed.
"She won't be her again until she is seventeen years old Sirius," James answered tiredly.
"I know that," Sirius said smugly. "I meant for when she does become her again."
"Jamie Lillian Potter," Lily promptly answered.
"Remember, you can't tell anyone about this Sirius," James reminded Sirius. "Not even Remus and Peter know about this." Sirius nodded as he cooed at the baby.
"I won't," Sirius promised.

"I need to bring the Cullens here," Albus mused out loud. "Yes, they would bring Potter back into my reach. Yes that would work." Fawkes thrilled from his stand and disappeared in a flash.
"Yes that would work," Albus said as he popped a lemon drop into his mouth.
(A/N: Well this chapter hopefully answered all the questions I got in the reviews. The song is called All the right moves by One Republic. I thought it fitting because of Albus with his plots and his friends in the right places. Review!)
