Prologue: Flight into the Night

The sitting room of Godric's Hollow was dark and unnaturally cool as Lily Potter sat rocking her tiny Son Harry to sleep. Annie, Lily's daughter, and her son's twin sister, was already fast asleep in the dining room with her husband James. Who at the moment was currently seeing to the predicament they had landed in.

The twins had been born on a warm summer day at the end of July. All had seemed well until a week ago when Lily began to notice Annie's unnatural abilities. Then Dumbledore uncovered a shocking and potentially dangerous bit of information: Annie possessed a very rare form of magic powerful enough to destroy millions at basically at the snap of her fingers; of coarse that was only when her powers matured so the tiny infant asleep in the next room couldn't do that now. But' still if Voldemort could get a hold of her; he would enslave Annie. So they had to decide how to hide and protect her little girl.

James Potter entered the sitting room of his home to find not only his son but also his wife fast asleep. James shook his head and grimaced at the thought of telling her all they had decided. This was certainly going to be a major strain. The twins were barely two months old and she already had to deal with more things than most mothers did.

"Lily dear we've reached a decision come into the dining room so Dumbledore can explain what we need to do." He said gently waking her.

Lily rose sleepily and tucked Harry into his crib before allowing James to steer her away towards the dining room to listen as her only daughters fate was laid before her.

Dumbledore stood near the door to a room in the Potters house watching as James and Lily Potter entered to hear what they had decided. Both of them were obviously dreading what was to come although they had not heard all of the details.

"Ah my dear Lily please sit I'm afraid you'll need to for this." Said Dumbledore. Lily took the seat he offered then sat patiently and waited while Dumbledore explained the situation. "We'll be sending Annie to a family awaiting her in America. She cannot stay here nor anywhere in England. Her power will stick out to others and she will be found out faster than any of us dare to believe. America has tighter security and less of Voldemorts followers."Dumbledore paused and frowned gently as Hagrid who was off to the side muttered a few obscenities, "I believe she will be quite safe there. We will also place a charm upon her so she will look like she belongs to her foster family. We will return her to you the summer before she enters Hogwarts." Dumbledore paused yet again to examine the mantle he looked up and calmly finished. "Until then no one save us and the twins' godparents should know the truth. Come up with an excuse to why she's no longer here and if they do not know of her do not tell them." With that Dumbledore turned to look at Annie in her tiny basket.

Annie looked almost exactly like her brother as twins should except for one small detail that you only noticed if her eyes were open. Instead of green eyes like her brother and father, Annie Potter's eyes were brilliant blue unlike anyone in her family.

"I'll take little Annie to America Professor Dumbledore sir, but I 'ave to go soon" Hagrid said interrupting the silence.

"All right Hagrid let's go outside" Dumbledore agreed softly.

Lily picked up the basket that contained her daughter and cradled it to her chest. They stepped outside into the crisp October wind and found themselves huddled around Hagrid who now held Annie. Lily had let go of her daughter for what was to be the last time.

"Bye-Bye my little girl," Lily whispered lovingly as she kissed Annie's forehead. She stepped back a little to allow Hagrid some room as he kicked off from the hard ground.

"Remember Lily it's not forever." Dumbledore said as Hagrid rose into the air.

"I know," she whispered in reply as a tear trailed down her cheek. Lily sighed as she watched the man who held her daughter recede into the distance before allowing James to steer her inside.

Little did Lily know, but, that within the following year the course of her children's lives would change dramatically with a single curse bestowed upon her.
