Disclaimer – same as always I own nothing to do with Harry Potter

Reviewers –

Amrawo – Thx for your review, am glad you liked the last chapter

Barbossa'sApples – Thank you for your compliment but I don't think she will be making any more appearances in future chapters aside from the next one or two.

Kim Kotchanski – lol, thank you

Marauder Kid – lol, am glad you love my story

Marquerida – thanx for your review

Mitchicul – HAPPIE BIRTHDAY! I think they make us suffer because their lonely we should stick needles in them and see how they feel!

Praesul Femella – I noticed that as well but I am still not sure which one would be suited to James

Queenofdakittys – am afraid he will be thinking it is Harry for a while – I don't think that I should be saying that my beta might shout at me

QueerEyefortheStraightGuy – Thanx for your review

SeekerGirl17 – Thank you am glad you think it is great

SeriousSiriusFan – I like it, it is a very good theory

Sirius Black 155 – Thanx for your review, happy you love it

Suicidal Bunnies – Thank you as well for your review, here is an update for you.

A/N – well, a lot of you had different views on the question at the end of last chapter. After a lot of planning, my beta and myself have ruled out something completely different as we could decide what would be different and still match James. Some said that his Patronus should be the same as his Animagus form, a Stag. Am sorry but that has been ruled out as well because the Patronus of a person is something unique to the wizard/witch and Harry's Patronus is a Stag.

So we were left with Lion and Dog, at first I was going towards the lion idea but after reading your reviews a dog also sounds good, so I am going to leave it open till the time is needed for his Patronus and see how I feel about it then, please feel free to let me know of your ideas for his Patronus.

On a second note I apologize for the lateness of this, all week I have been planning in my mind what I wanted to happen and came up with nothing. So after discussion with Mitchicul this chapter is going to be a little break from James and see what else is happening.

This might be my last update for a while, I am going away one week from today and I want to update before I go. If I push myself there may be another between Thursday and Monday but if there is not am sorry but rest assured that I will be writing upcoming chapters and as soon as I have them typed they will be updated.

Well on with the chapter …… Thanks to Mitchicul for help with this chapter

Chapter Five –

Albus Dumbledore had been resting in his office for the first time in weeks, - he had been in and out of the Ministry of Magic most of the summer helping aurors with their search for Sirius Black - when an owl flew onto his desk and dropped a letter onto his desk.

Sighing he reached for the letter upon seeing the familiar seal of the Ministry, he guessed it was probably from Fudge asking for some friendly advice or something of the sort.

Break the seal he took out the parchment and unfolded it to read –

Dear Professor Dumbledore,

We, here at the Ministry have recently been informed that a grave in Godric's Hollow cemetery has been disturbed.

The grave of Mr James Potter looks as if someone has tried to dig through to reach his coffin where he lies.

We have been in contact with Mrs Ellen Mann, the lady that tends to the cemetery and she has stated that no one had been near the graves of Mr and Mrs Potter and she is at a loss as to what could have happened.

We apologize if you have any important engagements but we would like it if you could visit Godric's Hollow and let us know as to what you think could of happened.

Yours sincerely,

Miss M.Jones

Worker with the Department of Magical Accidents (1)

Grave robbing? Was the first thought to appear in the headmasters mind but who would want to rob the grave of a man who had been laid to rest thirteen years previous?

Standing from his chair he rushed over to one of his many shelves in the office and reached for an object to transform into a portkey.

Deciding on an old muggle invention he has been given, he tapped his wand on it and muttered "Portus"

The object glowed blue for a moment, and he felt a pull that he was used to by now because of the number of portkeys he had used.

He landed with a soft thud in an alley that was situated in the small village of Godric's Hollow. He quickly straightened himself, slipped the object into his pocket and stepped out into the muggle village.

He knew he probably looked odd, an old man with a long white beard and hair, and robes as well but he didn't care, muggles would forget about it in a few minutes after they had continued on with their day-to-day business.

Stepping through the cemetery gates he scanned the area, noticing that a group of people stood over to the left side looking around the surrounding area that he knew was James's grave.

He walked swiftly towards them with a determined look, he would get to the reason behind all this before anybody within the wizarding world found out about the grave disturbance and caused more anguish towards Harry.

Several of the group of people smiled at him as he passed, he was heading straight towards the grave where a young woman stood, dressed in muggle clothing, her long hair tied back as she looked down at the grave.

He stood beside her and looked down as well, the grass covering the grave had been broke and soil lay around.

"Professor Dumbledore" a voice broke his examining and he looked to his side at the young woman

"Miss Jones, I presume?" he said kindly

The young woman nodded, "I am sir"

She turned to walk away from the grave towards another worker of her team, and indicated for him to follow.

"Do you have explanation as to what might of happened?" he asked as he fell into step with her.

"We are not sure, it looks like someone has tried to dig up the grave"

"Have you thought of the possibility that someone might have rose out of the grave?" He asked the question knowing that he had no evidence to prove that James Potter had indeed rose from his grave.

Miss Jones frowned at his question and stopped walking, "Do you think it may be possible Professor?"

"Anything is possible my dear"

"But if Mr Potter has risen from his grave where would he go? Surely all of his family was killed"

"Indeed they were, but Mr Potter may have gone to visit some old friends"

"Or he could be alone"

"He could be, and he could not of risen from his grave"

"But the possibility is there Professor"

"It is, Miss Jones may I ask you to keep this quiet till I have gathered some information that may prove that he has risen"

"Of course Professor"

Dumbledore nodded his head towards the young woman and walked towards the house that was situated a short distance away from the gates.

Knowing it was probably where the lady that Miss Jones had mentioned in her letter lived, if anyone would have answers they may begin with her.

Ok – I am really sorry that it is short but I wanted to get an update out, the next chapter will probably be an continuation of this one and hopefully will be out by Monday

(1) – Am not sure if the Department of Magical Accidents would deal with the type of thing that is in the chapter but for the sake of this chapter it is.

Thank once again to reviewers and to Mitchicul

I hope you all liked this chapter and would you kindly leave me a review, telling me whether you hate it or love it.
