Summary: Lily's dad and James's dad knew each other. Common, right? But Lily's

parents were animagus. They were also in the Everglades of Florida. Not so common

now, is it? The idea for this fanfiction came to me from a dream. As soon as I woke up, it

screamed 'TURN ME INTO A FANFICTION!' Maybe you don't speak idea, but trust

me, that's what it would say.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Chapter One: The Alligator.

One fine little day in Florida, the rest home capital of the world, there was a fair.

A carnival, to be exact. All the enjoyable rides were there, and the little kids were having

fun. There were elephants and a giraffe, and there was a ferris wheel, and there where

also.boat rides*. The little kids had so much fun that day. That day was July 31st. The

one day when all the good things happened.

The year was 1957**. The day was set out. A man, a very odd man, set out in a

boat, rowed towards the shore. His name was Richard Potter. In the boat with him was

his wife, Tamara. 'They are perfect for each other,' some said. And they were right.

Richard, who stood at 6 foot two, had messy dark brown hair with green eyes. Tamara,

who stood at 5 foot 4, had sleek dark brown hair and brown eyes. They already had a

child, a girl named Denise***. She had soft light brown hair with amethyst eyes.

This day, Tamara was pregnant. The baby was due in September, and as far as

they could tell, it was a boy. They even had a name for him. James. He was to be named

James. They already had a son, named Tyler, but they had to give him up to the

government because he was supposedly a special person from a prophesy, but he left

when he was 14, and he escaped from the protection house, and he traveled to America.

That was all they knew of him.

~~~~****~~~~****~~~~

As Mr. Potter rowed the boat towards the shore, the children all cheered. "Maybe

he'll take us for a ride later!" said one child. "Maybe he'll take us to see the crocodiles in

the swamps!" another said. "They're not crocodiles, they're alligators!" said another. So

it seems that he was very well liked. But as they gathered towards him, another man came

from the crowd, looking at Mr. Potter. He was about 5 foot 9, and he looked to be in his

late 70's. He had graying hair, and blue eyes. His name was Albus Dumbledore. "Albus!

Good to see you!" Mr. Potter said to Dumbledore. "Good to see you, too, Richard." "Let

us go to the meeting place. I'll give you rides later, kids." "Goodbye, Mr. Potter!" spoke

the kids.

So, Mr. Potter and Dumbledore talked while walking towards a bridge, with

Denise and Tammy walking behind. "This family is dying out, Richard. Sebastian said

that Willow will take the girls to a secure area later. But he is already looking for

them. They are too important to his work. We must help." Dumbledore explained. "But

just last week, I talked to Sebastian. He seemed fine. He went from an alligator to a cat in

ten seconds." Richard whispered. "Sebastian isn't the problem. He said that Willow has

been injured while walking outside in her animagus form. She was struck by a gun, and

she started to bleed. By the time she got back, she was nearly dead. But she's holding on

to her life as long as she can, until we get there. She wants to tell you what she sees."

Dumbledore responded "Okay. We'll need to hurry. I don't know what might happen.

Tamara, Denise, hurry." Richard said apprehensively.

Soon, they were at the bridge. "We'll take this boat." Mr. Potter said to the owner

of the marina. "That'll be $50." The owner said. "Okay. Here you go." "Thank you."

They all got in the boat, which was a lightweight boat with white paint chipping off. But

soon, Dumbledore turned it into a speedboat, making it able to go faster, and they went

towards the tunnels****. When they got to the tunnels, they went through a low ceiling

tunnel, and got to a fork in the passageway, and sitting in one of them, was an alligator.

As soon as it saw them, it transformed into a human. "Albus. I was getting anxious.

Richard, Tamara, Denise. It's so good to see you again." The human said. "Sebastian, it's

good to see you, too." Richard said. Sebastian was 6 foot 2, light, soft brown hair, with

green eyes. "Uncle Sebastian! Where's Aunt Willow and Petunia?" Denise exclaimed.

"Aunt Willow is in her room, and Petunia has gone to Naomi's house." Sebastian

explained. "Sebastian, we must hurry. Albus said something about Willow's condition.

And that she needed to speak to me." Richard said anxiously. "She does. Her shoulder is

paining her very badly. It was bleeding quite a lot earlier, but I cleaned it and bound it. I

can't heal it, since I'm not a wizard. But it seems that she doesn't want it healed. She says

that no one can heal it. Not even you, Albus. Quickly. Someone might have followed

you. I'll take you to her." Sebastian sadly whispered.

Silently, all five of them, six if you count the baby, went down the channel

towards a small light. "I left a light on so I wouldn't get lost. You know me." Sebastian

whispered. "Yeah. You bump into so many things, I'd think you were a chicken with its

head cut off." Richard joked.

Soon, they came to the light. Sebastian, being responsibly the "leader", picked it

up. It was a flashlight. (A/N: I'll describe it, since it's an important character.) The

flashlight was blue with a deep, lush green top. "Sawyer came by earlier, looking for a

'problem' that the 'crowd' heard. I left to the house and Willow left to get to the secret

area. I went into a little fish so they wouldn't suspect. Willow was anxious when I left, so

if she opened up the bandage, then she will be bleeding more. Come, quickly. We need to

hurry. I don't want to know what might've happened. Sebastian whispered into the

silence. As they were walking, two small cats walked into their path. One was black with

blue eyes and a broken tail, and the other was orange with yellow eyes with a white under

belly. "The cat's must have heard us. The black one, Petunia found. Needless to say, it

didn't really...agree with her, and it ran to Willow and the baby. Willow named it

Gypsy. 'Wanderer'. The orange one we found a few months ago. It's named

Crookshanks. Petunia likes it, but it seems that she's better with dogs than cats."

Sebastian explained to them. The cats were picked up by Denise and Tamara, and the

group walked on. Soon, they found a set of stairs, going down. "It seems that when we

found it, they were already here. They go down, and then up. But there's another, much

quicker way. Willow used it for exercise, but then she got pregnant. Then I used them

when I needed to think. I think I left something down there, but I doubt it's even good

anymore." Sebastian said after seeing Tamara's questioning look. "Follow me, there's an

alternate passage."

They walked a little while, and saw another passageway leading towards another

light. "I left another." This flashlight was deep green with a blue top. They walked a little

while longer until they reached a fork. Denise, being curious, looked around behind her

and saw some stairs. Quickly, she turned around, feeling something in her arms, purring.

Surprisingly, it was Gypsy. "Meow." Gypsy said to Denise. "Hello. How are you?"

Denise asked it. "Meow."

After walking some more, the finally came to a door. Sebastian opened it, and a

light came out. It was his home. Inside was surprisingly well furnished, seeing as the

water would erode the wooden furniture. But Albus came earlier, and he put a spell on it

all so it wouldn't brake. The floor was a light blue-green tile, and it ran throughout the

house. They walked through the house towards that last room, the master bedroom.

Opening the door, they found Willow on the bed, looking very pale. She was 5 foot 5,

with very dark brown hair, and deep brown eyes. Normally, her skin was tan, since she

lived in Florida. "Richard, Tamara, Denise. It's good to see you. I must speak with you.

My wound is very mild, just so you know. Sebastian must have exaggerated. I'm fine.

Come with me." Willow said, getting up quickly. Walking into the next room, she sat

down at a round table, and picked up a bottle filled with a purple liquid. She drank some

of this liquid and gave the bottle to Richard. "Drink a little of this. Then pass it to

Tamara, who shall pass it to Denise." They did so, and Denise gave Willow the empty

bottle. Taking the bottle, she shattered it and took a piece, with which she placed inside a

small bowl. "This will tell you what shall happen. Look inside." Richard looked inside,

and saw himself pulling pranks somewhere. Tamara looked inside, and she saw herself

crying. Denise looked inside, and saw. nothing. "Richard, what you see is not you. It is

your son, James. Tamara, you see tears because you will be in mourning. Denise, you see

nothing, because there will be nothing. This is bad news for all but one. This will happen,

if you make it." Willow said sadly. Suddenly, there was a flash of blue and purple, and all

was dark.. for now.

~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~

Okies, I've been working on this for about two weeks, and I'm quite aware that it sorta

sucks, but all is well.

*Boat rides: Okay, I'm not sure if they have boat rides in the Everglades, but hey, I'm

stupid, so yeah.

**1957: Okay, I read on a website that in Book Five, 1995, that Sirius and them were 38,

so 1995 minus 38 is 1957, so I'm using it.

***Denise: Okay, my muse just pooped out of nowhere, but I'm happy. I was running out

of characters.

****Tunnels: I'm using them like the little drain in the Two Towers. The tunnels are

important, but then again, so is a flashlight.

Okay, I know what to type, but I can't put it into words that well. I think I have a disease.

What it is, I don't know. REVIEW! I need help. I need inspiration! Take a look at that

cute little purple button down there! Click! Click! I ORDER YOU TO CLICK!
