Alright so brand new chapter this chapter is going to be what starts off the actual story. As the story progresses my writing will get better I promise! It's just been a long time since I last wrote in a story format so it'll take time for me to get back to a decent level so maybe a couple chapters or so. Feel free to suggest any writing tips or advice for you experienced fanfiction authors out there! Thanks now on with the chapter! Also I own NOTHING

Godric's Hollow 1:00 PM October 31, 1981

"So that's my plan!" Persephone announced with a clap of her hands. James and Lily looked at her incredulous wondering how someone so immature can come up with something so elaborate yet simple at the same time.

"So if that's the plan then what now, what can we do to make sure that this all works without a problem?" asks James with his inner marauder jumping in excitement for this great prank Persephone came up with. Persephone put on a sly smirk feeling giddy while looking forward to the results.

"Ok James first question who is Fleamont Potter to you?" asks Persephone trying to make sure her plans works out as perfectly as possible.

"He's my Grandfather why what does that have to do with anything?" asks James confused at just why his grandparents are being brought up. Persephone than follows up asking

"So does that mean Charlus and Dorea Potter are your parents?"

"Yes that's right, but what does this have to do with your plan?"

"I just need to know your family history to make sure this all works out for Harry in the long run rather than working with some half baked plan that could spectacularly backfire on us all" She responds with a deadpan face remembering some of her other half baked plans that may or may not have derailed a universe or two in the past.

"Oh well, in that case, yes they are my parents, they are currently staying up at potter manor right now with my grandparents-" James started before Persephone shot up and yelled

"WAIT THEY'RE ALIVE!?"

"Well of course my in-laws have been living up in potter manor for the past year or so and last I checked they were in perfect health" Lily answers while like her husband, wondering just what is going on that has Persephone so excited. Persephone looks at the clock and checks the time, figuring they have about 6 hours before Tom shows up she says

"We need to go now, as it is we still have time to bring them into the loop before we have to put the plan into action, ah I love it when a plan comes together!"

Potter Manor 1:30 October 31, 1981

As the group of three walked up to Potter Manor James couldn't help but feel a bit nervous at seeing his parents for the first time in months. He couldn't help but remember how against Albus and his order they were while he was adamant about following the man that he mistakenly saw as the second coming of Merlin himself. He felt someone squeeze his hand and looked to see his wife smiling at him,

"It's ok I'm sure that they forgave you immediately." She said with a small smile while thinking of her sister and how they treated Harry wondering just what happened to allow that kind of abuse to an innocent child. As they reached the front doors of the Manor Persephone thought to herself

'So it all starts here now' as she held a small smile thinking about her plan and how it would all fall into place with this meeting.

As soon as James knuckle touched the door it swung open with a black-haired missile coming towards him and latching on immediately.

"Oh my little Jamie came home to his mummy, and he brought Lily with him!" Yelled out the mother of James potter Dorea Potter nee Black as she hugged her son before grabbing Lily with just as much fervor as if she was her own daughter from birth.

"Well it's about damn time you came to visit us!" Yelled out a smiling Charlus Potter as he looked at his son and daughter in law.

"W-w-what?" Stuttered a perplexed James wondering what was going on and why his parents were so happy to see him after the fallout they had originally.

"What did you expect us to be sneering at you just because you choose your own path? BAH, that's old Arcturus job."

"I resent that!" Yelled out a voice from inside the castle revealing none other than the Lord black himself.

"WAIT, what's going on here, I am extremely confused!" James yelled out while seeing Arcturus at his family manor wasn't unusual the warm reaction really was to him. Dorea seeing her sons confusion took pity on him and decided to explain

"James honey while we may not approve of Albus's methods or his order, you are still our son and we will always have a place for you in our home, after all you are a Potter and we stick together until the end." She said with a serene smile on her face while looking at her son who just nodded with a smile glad to have heard that from his mother.

"Mind you if you EVER slam my door again like you own it may Merlin have mercy on your soul." She innocently said while her magic was crushing down on James who just meekly mumbled an apology.

"See this. This is why I never pissed off my wife or mother when she was alive" whispered Arcturus to Charlus who just meekly nodded.

"What was that?" Dorea asked having heard her brother who just waved it away and said "Why nothing at all dear sister, oh look they brought a guest!" while pointing to Persephone who was just sitting in the back and eating some popcorn she had on hand from who knows where.

"Son care to introduce us to the lovely young lady sitting next to you?" His father asked in that parent voice where it is but isn't a question.

"Oh right. Arcturus, Mother, Father, this is Persephone she came to help us out with the dark lord problem we've been having."

Admittedly James was a little nervous to talk about his parents and his uncle meeting the embodiment of death itself.

"Well my dear it is a pleasure to meet you, but I must ask how can you help when so many others have tried and failed to defeat that monster?" Asked Dorea a little cautious of the mysterious women in front of her.

"Simple I have a plan," Persephone said matter of factly as if she said an indisputable truth.

"Well out with it then what is this plan?" asked Arcturus his impatience getting the best of him alongside the fact that the idea of his grandson would be able to come out of hiding in peace seemed to good to pass up.

"Well, my plan is to make memory copies of James, Lily, and Harry to stay at Godric's Hollow for the next couple hours and then transfer all the memories to the three once all this is settled," Persephone said dumbing her plan down as much as possible not wanting the parents to freak out right away lest they interrupt her.

"And how would these memory copies even come into play? Last I heard there was no magic that could do that." Asked Charlus noticing that the plan was not fully laid out but decided to try and poke holes in the plan to see how thought out it was.

"Well I do have the ability to make these copies and keep them active for as long as I need but that ability is essentially family magic between my siblings and myself as it is not able to be used by any others." She responded dreading the next inevitable question. Not for the question itself but for the possibility of asking the how when she brings up the answers.

"Why are these copies necessary?" asked Dorea noticing she never mentioned a why when she explained the how.

'sigh'

"Ok so don't freak out but Tom AKA Voldemort is planning on coming to kill Harry tonight to prevent a prophecy that he only knows a part of, hence the copies to make sure nobody really dies tonight." Persephone explained with a solemn look as being the aspect of death she is extremely familiar with the thoughts of loss and pain that family feel when they lose a loved one. Hearing this James and Lily grew solemn looks thinking of the memories of Harry's life while Arcturus was cursing Voldemort for the potential loss of more of his family to his crazed schemes.

Meanwhile Dorea cried into her husband's shoulder while Charlus like his friend cursed Voldemort before feeling a fire build up as his magic started to rage around him as he looked at Persephone with a stony look and said,

"You claimed that these copies would send the memories to our son and daughter in law, does that mean they have to die before the memories can be transferred and would Harry also have to deal with the trauma of death as well?"

Persephone recognizing this as a father trying to protect his family responded by saying

"Yes and no, you see James and Lily have to die but Harry will not the only downfall is Harry's copy will have to live the life that the original would have and when I release the copy Harry will have an influx of 11 years worth of memories alongside his normal ones with James and Lily," Lily spoke up and said,

"While I know it's a shock, you can imagine ours when we originally heard this plan but we know this is the best possible outcome to protect us all and keep our family together."

"Hmmm, I agree Charlus I would rather they stay alive and just have a few traumatic memories rather than being lost to us forever." Arcturus said with a grimace thinking about the youngest family members eventual trauma as was his sister.

"And Harry will he be ok with dealing with an influx of essentially foreign memories?" She asked Persephone concerned about the mental backlash to her grandson.

"Yes, it won't come all at once most likely as he sleeps taking a backseat in his mind like a dream rather than just hitting him in the middle of the day and risking his sanity of living two lives." Persephone responded glad that they didn't freak out or anything like that.

"Good then. Thank you for letting us know and James I'm proud of you and Lily for being willing to go through with this for the sake of you family."

"Thank you, dad. I can honestly say that I am nervous and thinking of the what-ifs but am ready to live for my son." He spoke with conviction as Lily then spoke up

"As am I, I refuse to let Harry go through the trials of his fate alone and will be there for him every step of the way."

"As will his family" Spoke Dorea with Charlus and Arcturus nodding in agreement next to her. Persephone got up from the couch they were sitting on and said

"Well, Lily James we have a few more stops to make to Remus, Sirius, the Bones, and the Longbottoms before getting on with this plan and giving Harry and their children the lives that they deserve."

"Right" Lily spoke up also getting up with James following her lead.

"We'll survive this and we'll see you later tonight if that is there is still a home for us here for a little while?" asked James looking at his parents slightly nervous in spite of what they said earlier.

"James you know that you will always have a home here and your family is welcome to stay for as long as you need we would love to be apart of Harry's and your lives as much as we can." Dorea looked to her son, Arcturus then chimed in saying

"Try to grab that mutt grandson of mine seeing as he hasn't decided to visit in years on the way back!"

"You got it uncle, Lily, Persephone let's go"

Alright that's a wrap sorry it took a couple days longer than usual had to put a bit more thought into this chapter as it is what really is going to kickstart my main story. The chapters will also get gradually longer as the story progresses and more details are needed now that the main story is in play. I will try to have it uploaded by Saturday, Sunday at the latest! Also The two reviews with their criticism thanks! I plan to improve and will always look forward to constructive criticism to improve on my writing styles! Mind you remember I am doing this story on my own with no beta or proofreader so I can't promise perfection but I will try to improve. Thanks for reading see you next week!
