Chapter 36
"Use your wand and press this if anything happens" said Hermione a look of pure fear on her face. She was terrified for them, she had only known them for a short while and she was already attached to them. She didn't want anything to happen to any of them, screw the time line for all she was concerned. This thought surprised her; a few years ago she had been petrified of changing even anything now she couldn't care. She summarised it to growing up, Hermione had changed, she hardly had a book in her hand she was always doing something or being with Ron for a little while just the two of them.
"Don't worry Harry obviously has a plan, even if it means I die for him over again I will do it" said Lily an air of determination around her.
"Listen, Harry wouldn't allow that to happen, he grew up at the Dursley's" whispered Hermione.
Lily gasped and looked ready to cry, looking at her only child she felt a chill go up her spine. She could only imagine what kind of life he had at her sisters.
"Promise me you will take Harry and run if anything happens! Do not let him go to my sisters!" whispered Lily urgently.
"After all he's done he deserves a proper childhood, I won't let you down Lily but as I said Harry wouldn't let that happen...I just hope he doesn't do anything stupid" said Hermione softly.
"Oh Hermione, I'm so glad he had such a great friend to look out for him" smiled Lily hugging Hermione softly.
"You better go," Hermione said with a sigh.
"Yeah, take care, sweetie" said Lily walking towards James.
"Come on then Lily, Harry will meet us in Godric's Hollow" said James lifting up his son, he handed Harry over to Lily who then put him in his pram.
"Take Care" "Goodbye" "I'll see you soon" was yelled from various different people as the four Potter's left the house.

"I doubt Voldemort will attack this is all for nothing I mean there's no Pettigrew" said Remus.
"I have to agree with him" said Ron.
"You have no idea how desperate Dumbledore is to win this war, hence he tried to get me to spy," said Sev.
"And I know how desperate he was the second time around, which would be to sacrifice anyone possible" replied Severus gravely.
"He loves the Potter's he wouldn't harm a head on their body" argued Remus.
"He LOVED them unless you haven't exactly noticed they aren't in the Order and Dumbledore isn't so fond of them in this time!" argued Severus right back.
"He can't be that desperate to win the war!" shouted Remus in denial.
"He is!" yelled Severus back.
"HEY HEY CALM DOWN SHUT UP!" yelled Sev.
"He's right stop arguing Harry won't let anything happen to any of them, if IF Voldemort does attack then Harry will stop it" said Hermione hands on her hips.
"She's right you know!" said Ron shaking his head, they were meant to be the adults in all this.
"There's nothing we can do now but wait and hope" sighed Hermione "This is stressful for all of us and it doesn't help if we keep arguing and fighting with each other".
"We want you to do the spell" said James coming in with little Harry in his arms.
"Are you sure?" asked Dumbledore hiding his glee.
"Yes, we cannot risk our son's life" said James a pained look coming across his face.
"Very well I shall do it right now if you prefer" said Dumbledore. If they left without telling anyone no one would know he had been secret keeper. He knew James would tell a few certain people who the secret keeper was and he didn't want that.
"Yes please" said Lily clutching her child and husband to her.
"Might I ask why you aren't asking Severus' father to do it?" asked Dumbledore.
"I don't think he is strong enough to do the spell, he's been losing magic lately and we cannot figure out why" said James gasping which was faked as if he had unwillingly let out information he hadn't meant to let out.
"JAMES!" yelled Lily slapping him across the head.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to" said James biting his lip.
Neither of them failed to notice the increasing sparkle in Dumbledore's eyes so this bit of information pleased him. James wanted to smirk, that was his son that Dumbledore was afraid of competition from. His son was going to be more powerful than the great Albus Dumbledore. It was as if Lily was reading his mind because she smiled against James' neck where Dumbledore wouldn't see it.
"Where is it you want this spell cast?" enquired Dumbledore.
"We want to live in Godric's Hollow for a couple of years yet" replied James he noticed slightly that Dumbledore let out a breath.
"Very well" 'Good' it was fantastic news for Dumbledore, he had feared they would have went to Potter Manor which had additional spells and wards on it, which would make it harder for someone to get into.
"Come then, let's get it done" smiled Dumbledore encouragingly.
Everyone nodded their consent and they left Hogwarts through the floo and into Godric's Hollow.
Dumbledore did the spells feeling of glee elated him he now had the Potter's under his complete control. The prophecy said the boy would survive, Lily and James he was regrettable but what they were doing was for the greater good. He had to do it for the Wizarding world, it wasn't a choice really, Lily and James or everyone in the Wizarding world. He knew his choice; there wouldn't be a world by the time Harry Potter was old enough to fight. He just hoped no one ever found out especially Harry Potter.
"I must be going I have the Ministry to attend to, Mr. Crouch is getting more and more insane as the days go by" sighed Dumbledore agitated.
"No problem," sighed James his hands on his face.
"Goodbye everyone" smiled Dumbledore sadly before closing the door the house disappeared and no one was any the wiser that the Potters were there.
"HARRY ARE YOU HERE?" shouted Lily looking anxious.
"I'm here" shouted Harry, he felt claustrophobic in this small house, and he didn't know why when he lived in a small space for the first ten years of his life.
"Are you ok?" asked James taking a double take when he saw his son.
"I don't know I need a calming potion before I get worse" gasped Harry; he wasn't sure what was wrong.
"Here" said Lily helping Harry swallow the potion; she was extremely worried about him now.
"It should work in a few seconds" soothed James wiping his face of sweat with a cloth.
"What happened son?" asked James after a few seconds of silence.
"Surely back in time you own Godric's Hollow!" said Lily. He surely went to Gringotts as soon as he turned sixteen and got control of the Potter vaults and deeds unless he lived in Potter Manor? She needed to know.
"I...when Voldemort attacks Godric's Hollow is destroyed with my backlash of magic, as far as I know it ended up on fire, Sirius and Hagrid got everyone out" said Harry sadly.
"So you live in Potter manor then" said Lily as if it was the answer to everything.
"No, I lived with the Dursley's at four privet Drive, Dumbledore made sure I went back home every summer and also made sure I didn't know about my vaults. I only found out by chance that's when I grabbed all my money out and tried to leave but I ended up here" said Harry flatly.
"I could kill that bastard" snarled James he had met Lily's sister a couple of times and she was a horrible vile woman. What would she have done to their son? A defenceless child left at her mercy he could only hope that they survived this time so their son didn't end up there.
"James don't say that! They would give you the kiss, promise me you won't!" hissed Lily angrily.
"Don't James if he does give you out to Voldemort you can do what you must through the Ministry but nothing else I need you" said Harry wide green eyes hard and pain filled as he looked at his father. Right now that's who James was right now, his father, he wouldn't let anything happen to them ever.
James took one look at Harry and gave in, what Harry said was true both his son's need him right now. "I will go through the proper channels I promise" said James his brown eyes still on his sons green ones showing how serious he was being.
Lily smiled, she then put little Harry to his bed and sat down with James and Harry who were talking about his adventures in Hogwarts. Everything they could think of that wouldn't upset him, but Lily wanted to know something it was bugging her to no end.
"Was Dumbledore our secret keeper the last time around?" asked Lily.
Harry instantly sobered up, and wondered if he should tell them.
"Well no, things were very very different the last time, Severus wasn't your best friend he was a Slytherin and you and Sirius bullied him to no end, and ended up trying to kill him, well Sirius did by telling Severus to go to the shrieking shack, the last time the wolves bane potion hadn't been invented" said Harry sadly.
Lily gasped in horror.
James looked like he was about to have a heart attack.
"He didn't become a werewolf we know he doesn't because he never went off when Remus did" said Lily trying to convince herself.
"No James saves the day which causes Severus to hate the Potters even more, because he owed you a life debt" said Harry.
James nodded he could understand – he thought of owing a life debt to the likes of Lucius Malfoy.
"Funny thing was Severus was actually your best friend Lily until he called you a... you know the horrible word for a Muggle Born when you saved him from being bullied. Being saved by a girl made him so angry and he felt useless and took it out on the wrong person. He actually loved you more than anyone else so much so that he became a spy for the light side risking torture and death if he was found out by Voldemort" Harry said with a sigh.
"Poor Severus" said Lily tears in her eyes.
"You actually had the nerve to bully him because he didn't have decent clothes funny thing was I never had decent clothes in my life before I came here" smirked Harry ironically.
"Well that's nobodies problem now because it didn't happen, Severus grew up like a pureblood with all the goodness of a Muggle born" said Lily proudly.
"Severus has taken on my real last name, he is now a Potter" grinned Harry proudly.
"It's just a shame no one will know it was my son that brought Severus up to be the man he is" smiled James sadly, his son was so proud technically speaking Severus was his grandson it was all very weird.
"You avoided my question" said Lily.
"Oh yeah, well when you started Hogwarts you hated dad and his three friends, Remus Lupin, Sirius Black and......Peter Pettigrew" said Harry.
"It wasn't Sirius!" said James wide eyed, he wouldn't believe it.
"He was sentenced to twelve years in Azkaban for a crime he didn't commit; everyone thought Sirius would have been secret keeper. No one knew you and Sirius came up with a brilliant idea, Sirius would go on the run while Peter would stay here and be the real secret keeper and keep Voldemort on his tail" said Harry. "It would have been a good plan, it was just a shame Pettigrew was a Death Eater"
"Is he a Death Eater in this time do you recon?" asked Lily her green eyes flashing in raw anger and rage.
"I don't really care to be honest as long as he doesn't hurt any of my family if he does he would regret the day he was born" hissed Harry angrily.
There We Go Will Dumbledore Betray The Potters? Or Will His Concience Get The Better Of Him? Will They All Die? Or Just Harry? R&R Plz Take Care Everyone xXx
