Ok, this is taken place after Harry's 3rd year, but since Lily and James are alive, Sirius was never in prison, so in my version of this story.. well the real 3rd HP book never happened. Harry's real 4th year happened during his 3rd year in my story. Got that? lol. Hope you enjoy.

One Moment

By Mandi/Skyler Bartell

```````````````

Seth sat very still.... listening to voices of people arguing in the next room. It was about him.

See. Seth didn't know if his real name was actually Seth. He didn't know anything about himself actually. He just knew that he had messy black hair and glasses, and a weird shaped scar on his forehead. And he was always having nightmares, and was beginning to be afraid of the dark.

"He is our son! Why can't we take him right now?" a man named James shouted.

"We have to sure," said David, the man that had been taking care of Seth for the past month.

"We are sure! We have pictures and a birth certificate, even fingerprints! HE'S OURS!" James yelled.

Harry covered his ears and closed his eyes, trying to not hear what was going on.

"James, they just want to be certain," said Lily, the one who claimed to be Seth's mother.

"Yes,Seth is mine for now. I found him and took care of him!" David yelled.

"Well thank you thank you very much! But we'd like to bring him home! He has a family there!" James said.

"David you know this would more then likely happen, it is their son," Seth heard the police man say.

"Fine! Take him!" David yelled, throwing his hands up in the air.

"NO!" Seth yelled, getting up and leaving the empty room he had been listening in.

Everyone stared at him as he entered the other room, yelling no.

"Seth, these are your real parents," David said calmly. He walked over to Seth and set his hands on his shoulders.

"I want to stay with you though," Seth cried.

"I know, I wish you could. But I'm not your dad, I'm just a friend, you can come see me anytime you'd like. The door is always open," David said.

Seth's eyes started tearing up and hot waterflow went down his cheeks. He looked over at the two people claiming him. They looked nice...

"No!" Seth said again. He wrapped his arms around David, sobbing and refusing to let go.

"Seth, it'll be okay. They said you can come see me, and call me. They're okay with it, they say you are starting school on Sept. 1st. That's next week, doesn't that sound fun? You're 14 years old! You turned it on July 31st and we didn't even know! Isn't that crazy?" David said, trying to get Seth to be happy.

But all he did was shake his head and more tears fell from his eyes.

"I don't want to go." He cried.

"I know, I know you don't. But you'd better get going, I'm sure Mr. and Mrs. Potter would like to get you settled," David said, trying his best to say good-bye without breaking down himself.

"No!" Seth yelled.

David broke away from him and pushed him a little towards James.

"Take care of him," David said.

James smiled and took Seth's shoulder, steering him out of the room.

"David! NO! Don't make me go!" Seth yelled.

David turned away though and James and Lily left with a crying Seth.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Seth saw his house, well it was supposively his house, it was big and a light brown color. It looked like it had four floors, and the backyard was huge. It was fenced but Seth could tell their was a pool back there. Then, the front yard was pure green grass with a flower bed along the house. It had a porch with a cushion swing on it.

"Welcome home Harry," James said as they pulled into the drive- way.

"My name is not Harry! It's Seth!" Seth said.

"Ok, Seth," James said and got out of the driver's seat and opened the door fo rSeth to get out.

Lily put her arms around Seth as they walked up to the front door. When they opened it the first thing Seth saw was three little people. One little boy looked younger than 2 with messy black hair similar to his own, then a little girl looking about 7 or 8 with brown hair, and another girl but she looked to be 11 or 12.

"These are your little sisters and brother," Lily said.

"HARRY! HARRY! YOU'RE OKAY! HARRY!" cried the 7 or 8-year-old.

"My name is Seth," Seth said again, this time though he was a bit more harsh.

"No! You're name is Harry!" the 11 or 12-year-old said.

Seth only shook his head and started looking around the house. When you first got in the front door you saw the living room. It had a good sized TV and nice looking furniture, the couch and sofa were the same dark blue color and pattern. There was a coffee table with remote controls and a TV guide on it.

Behind that Seth could see the dining room and next to the dining room he could see the beginning of the kitchen but the wall blocked the rest. There were two different staircases. One close to the dining room went up, and another one next to it that went down.

"Your room is downstairs with Kayla's," Lily said.

"Who's that?" Seth asked quietly.

"Oh, sorry, this is Kayla. She is 12. Then this here is little Megan, she is 8. Then right here is the sweet little Logan, he just had his 1st birthday," Lily said, pointing to each of her kids.

Logan was fighting for Kayla to put him down, he waddled over to Lily and tensed up with exitement when he saw Seth.

"Hi honey, did you miss your big brother?" Lily asked, picking him up.

"Come on and I will show you your room," James said and grabbed Seth's arm.

Seth followed him down the stairs. When you first stepped off the stairs you walked into a family room, strait back to the left looked like a big open hallway with three doors. One was a bathroom, another was a girl's room and then finally James brought Seth into the last room. It was dark blue and had stars on the sheets.

There were posters of music groups and skateboard/snowborders.

"It's moving!" Seth cried, backing up a little when he saw a poster with a moving man on a broom stick. The person was smiling and waving at him.

"AW!" Seth yelled. James laughed a little.

"No, no. It's okay. Oh... I totally forgot you don't know..." James said.

Seth was confused and wouldn't take his eyes off the moving poster.

"Sit down honey, I need to talk to you about something," James said. Seth stayed where he was. He hated this new place, he wanted to go home to David.

"Or stand there," James said.

"Ok, I guess I'd better get this over with... You have to find out, Harry- I mean Seth, you're a wizard. You go to a magical school, you have many friends, and-" James began.

"NO! STOP LYING! NO! NO!" Seth said and put his hands over his ears. He began shaking his head. James got closer and was almost touching him.

"Get away from me! GET AWAY! LEAVE ME ALONE!" Seth yelled. James backed away a little.

"Calm down honey," James said.

"NO! LEAVE ME ALONE!" Seth cried. He went over to the full-sized bed and flopped down on it, face down. He was already starting to feel homesick from David.

James looked at the back of his son. He didn't know what to say or what to do. He looked over at the Quidditch poster and took out his wand. The poster disappeared into mid-air.

"Seth, we need to talk about this. We need to talk about lots of things," James said.

But it was like talking to a brick wall. Seth wouldn't say anything back and didn't make any movement of even hearing what James was trying to get across him.

Fianlly, James gave up. He would leave Seth alone for now and then come back with Lily, or Sirius... Hopefully by then Seth would be calmed down and talk to them.

He could only hope.
