Lightning Flash

Petunia Dursley woke to a loud crack of lightning. For some reason she felt uncomfortable, so she went downstairs to fix herself something to help her relax. Arriving at the kitchen, after ensuring the boy couldn't get out, she heated some milk. The storm was growing stronger and seemed to be centered around the house.

Anyone standing outside would have seen an enormous bolts of lightning strike the ground in front of number four. They also would see a woman standing where they struck.

Petunia heard knocking at the door, 'who on earth would be out in this weather? Must be some beggar,' she thought to herself. Ignoring the feeling of dread, she went to the door to tell them to go away.

Opening the door, Petunia was shocked to see a woman standing on her doorstep. Before she could say a word her sister said, "give him to me."

"I have no clue what you're talking about." As she tried to shut the door, the woman caught it and slammed it open. Whoever this person was, they were obviously insane. "Vernon! Someone has broke in!" Petunia quickly ran upstairs.

If anyone was watching, they would have seen the woman smile. She made her way to the cupboard under the stairs and opened the lock. She picked up the sleeping boy inside a disappeared with a crack.

The Dursleys came downstairs to find the cupboard open, but nothing else was moved or missing. When asked later what happened to the boy, they said that he had run away, and would then walk away. Everyone knew that it couldn't be that simple.

Police investigations revealed that though there were more than enough rooms, one of the boys, Harry, had been living under the stairs. Dudley Dursley was placed in protective custody until the issue of Harry Potter's disappearance was determined.


Albus Dumbledore liked thunder storms, the sheer power they held always amazed him. Today however, they didn't hold his attention like they usually did. Sighing he turned back to the letter again, hoping this time it would be different.

Dumbledore,

We called you friend, and you left our son to rot with them! How dare you even considerthe idea. I have removed Harry fromthat place, and you will not find him until he is to come to Hogwarts.

I cannot believe you would let a man go to Azkaban without a trial, you who claim to be willing to give anyone a fair hearing.

Goodbye,

Lily Evans Potter

Albus had checked the bloodwards that he placed to protect Harry, only to find that they no longer told him Harry's whereabouts just his condition. If who ever this was were truly Lily Potter, why did she vanish on the night when Voldemort was defeated? Where has she been in the intrum?


In a cell in Azkaban, a man rasied his head for the first time in three years. He knew that someone out there knew he was innocent, someone he knew very well. "Lily." It was al he said, but the Dementors around him felt a shiver as the realized that someone who had faced the true death and came back would be coming for this man soon. None of them wanted to be near by when that happened.


Remus Lupin sat up, he'd just had the oddest dream. He dreamt that Lily had come back and asked him for help. He quickly apparated to the ruins of Godric's Hallow, the last place Lily had been alive. Where once ruins were, a house now stood. Knocking on the door, a house elf answered, "Welcome Master Lupin, you have been expected."

Walking down the hall to the sitting room, he saw a person he never thought he would see again in this life, "Lily."
