Godric's Hollow

Harry stared at his mother in shock, not quite understanding what she'd just said. The other three men got up to congratulate her, and James looked like he'd just won a million galleons. Harry just watched them, and wondered. Would he be forgotten when the child was born, did he want a younger brother or sister? He watched as if in a daze as Moony and Padfoot left he kitchen with Lily, discussing the pregnancy with her. They asked questions like, when the child had been conceived, if it was healthy, if she knew what it's gender was yet. He looked up at his fathers smiling face and returned the smile with a blank stare.

James watched Harry quietly for a moment, slowly loosing his smile, "Are you alright, Harry?"

Harry shook his head a little and began speaking what was on his mind, not looking at his father, "I'm not sure. Am I going to be forgotten? I don't know if I want a sibling, I'm still getting used to having you and mom around. I think I don't want a little brother or sister, dad. I-" he glanced up at his father and froze.

His father had been listening to him, trying to hold back the anger. He couldn't believe Harry thought these things. Of all the dumb things his son had ever done, this seemed to top them all. He growled as his son stopped talking and began, "I thought we covered the getting rid of you subject? We're not going to let that happen, But you seem contempt to continue thinking we're going to treat you like the Dursley's did. We're NOT THE DAMN DURSLEY'S!" With that, he slapped Harry.

Harry hit the ground, and stared up at his father in horror. James looked back and slowly began to control himself, as soon as he did he wanted to kick himself. He'd just hit his son, who had never had good experiences with guardians before. He tried to talk to his son, but Harry jumped to his feet and fled the kitchen. James sank to his knees and wondered what had come over him.

Lily had heard the yelling and had started heading to the kitchen, with the other two Marauders trailing behind her. She was bewildered when Harry went tearing by her up, and up the stairs. She hurried to the kitchen and stopped. Her husband was on his knees, looking guilty and horrified all at once, "James? James! What happened?!"

James looked up, "I-I hit him. And yelled at him. Simply because he was afraid. I didn't even comfort him. Merlin," he breathed, "What have I done?!"

Sirius looked ready to kill, "You HIT your son?"

James nodded and Sirius spun around and ran up the stairs to Harry's room. When he got there he discovered that Harry had placed silencing and locking charms all over his door. With a growl he bellowed for Remus, and as soon as the former-werewolf was there, they began removing the spells.

Inside the room, Harry was dragging his dagger across his wrist. 'How could I have trusted him? I can't even speak my mind without getting hit now.' He looked at his mangled arm and growled. He stood up and packed all his belongings. He sent Hedwig, Isis and Talia off to Hogwarts to wait for him. He shrunk his trunk down and created a pendant for it to be placed it, and wore it around his neck. With a wave his hand he restored the room to what it had been before he'd changed it. Looking at the baby clothing, toys and bedding, he decided since he was leaving, he'd just leave things the way they were. He picked up his broom, which he hadn't bothered packing, and jumped out the window. He shot off into the sky, spinning as he went, completely ignoring the fact he could easily become a phoenix and fly faster. He loved flying with wings, but he loved his broom more.

He flew in the general direction of Hogwarts, for hours. Suddenly a spell shot past him, barely missing him. He glanced down, and saw a series of black spots getting closer. He felt the blood leaving his face as he realized Death Eaters had spotted him. He pressed close to his broom and sped off as fast as he could. He extended his senses to pick up and magic heading towards him, and carefully dodged the curses being sent his way. He noticed the lack of unforgivables, and the fact that the spells seemed to simply be aimed to make him fall. He didn't care, he didn't want to be captured. He waved his hand absently, and sent a series of spells over his shoulder, towards his attackers. When he glanced back, he grinned He'd gotten most of them, and some where heading back down. While Harry had been watching the Death Eaters that were behind him, he didn't notice the one below him, so when the spell hit him, he was completely unprepared. That last thing he saw before darkness over took his vision, was the grinning face of Lucius Malfoy.

Godric's Hollow

James and Lily had joined them in removing the charms on the door. It had taken them half an hour, but they finally succeeded. Sirius carefully opened the door and peeked in. What he saw caused him to slam the door open and fall in. Lily stared in horror. Her son's room was back to being a nursery, and there was no sign that Harry Potter had ever lived here. She turned to James and glared at him, "Find him, Mr. Potter. Find him, NOW!" she screamed.

James back away, then fled down the stairs to the fireplace. He threw some floo powder into the fire, and stepped through to the headmasters office. He glanced around, taking in the faces, and almost collapsed when he didn't see Harry. He turned to Dumbledore and asked, "Have you seen, Harry?" He quite ignored the fact he sounded desperate.

Dumbledore looked weary, and turned to Snape, "Is that all you know?"

Snape nodded, "Yes, he cast a spell on Potter here, and sent Death Eaters to scout for him."

James looked up, confused, and watched as Dumbledore fire called the others at Godric's Hollow. When the headmaster sat down, the other three people stepped into the room and sat down, waiting. Dumbledore took a breath, and nodded to Snape, "Tell them."

"The Dark Lord had some Death Eaters scouting your house. They were to cast a charm, that would cause anything Harry said to Potter, to up set him. He was to react violently to whatever it was," Snape took a breath, "The Dark Lord is hoping that it would cause him to run, so that he can be caught and brought to him," Suddenly, Snape gripped his arm and stood, "I have to go, he's calling a meeting."

Remus was he only one who could speak, "Tell Harry we love him, and will get him."

Snape looked shocked for a second before rushing out of the room. Dumbledore looked at the other four people seated before him and frowned, "What did you mean, Remus?"

James looked incredibly guilty, "Harry left. I lost it and slapped him."

Lily was shaking, "He-He has my son?!"

Sirius looked curious, "What about the Weasley kid, though? I thought he was going to wait till Halloween to capture Harry?!"

Dumbledore nodded, "As did we, but it seems he's taken previous lessons to heart. Harry always seems to escape him. I don't think he plans to kill him straight off."

With that, everyone in the room sat there, worrying, and desperately hoping that Harry would be alright.
