The Next Universe Over

by Wynd12

The trio in a parallel universe stumble into a portal that transports them to the universe where the books take place. Everything is strange for them because in their own universe Voldemort never disappeared on that fateful halloween and everything was destroyed before they could grow. They had grown up on the streets of London, the three of them alone against the world.

Prologue

Halloween, 1981

There was a crash at the door and James and Lily Potter looked up from their game of exploding snap.

"It's him, Lily take Harry and get as far away as possible," yelled James.

Lily scooped up the little bundle that was her one year old son. She rushed up the stairs, as far away from the door as possible. She could hear James shouting and a high pitched laugh. She burst into the nursery and struggled with the window latch.

That rat, she thought hatefully, he betrayed us!

Finally the window swung open and she jumped. She landed with a gasp, pain shot from her ankle up her leg. She gritted her teeth and ran as quickly as she could to outside where the anti-apperation wards were. She smiled sadly tears running down her face as she looked at the house, she knew that this was the last time she would be seeing her husband. She raised her hand and with a pop disappeared.

Unsure where to go she apperated to Diagon alley. It was nearly empty, hard times these were. She ran into a alley and started to perform a spell, complicated in its nature and fragile. Harry would not wake until he was five with all the knowledge that Lily had given him. Lily wished her son luck and cast a shield charm, concealing him. Tears in her eyes she turned away, he would be safe, she knew but she couldn't believe that she was leaving him here in a dark alley to survive on his own.

"Be safe Harry, survive and live out these hard times."

With that she left the alley, knowing that she would only survive a few more hours.
