Harry Potter Singer

I know I have a few projects going right now, I am on hiatus from them at the moment due to writers block. Frankly I wish I had more time to sit down and write but alas I have to work. This should be an interesting new take. What if Bobby was there that fateful night? What if Bobby raised Harry the way he should have been? What if Harry's best friends are the two greatest hunters of all time?

1981-July

Bobby Singer has just finished up a case working with Rufus, his long time partner and friend. They decide to head back to the Motel and change before heading to the bar. When they get into the room Bobby is shocked to see someone already in the room, Rufus is not.

"Damian what the hell are you doing in my Motel room?" Rufus asks

"I need you to help with a problem and I and my organization can't be seen to be involved. Is he good to know everything?" Damian asks

Rufus nods "He is good to know everything. Bobby don't shoot this man listen to what he is going to say. What do you need me for? You do know I don't do anything for free right?"

Damian smiles "In that case, Bobby I am from an ancient group called the druids. Over the generations those that are druids have changed their name and now go by witches and wizards. No they are not the ones who trade their soul to demons for parlor tricks. I work for a group called the International Confederation of Wizards in their hunter division. Basically I track all the good hunters in the states and canada and keep most of you away from cases that would expose the druids. Originally we went into hiding because we got tired of the Catholic church trying to kill us. By and large we remain hidden today because we can't function in the outside world."

Bobby nods his head not sure what to make of what he is hearing but willing to listen as Rufus clearly knows something about this.

Damian continues "About 100 years ago a group called the men of letters decides that England didn't need hunters anymore and so they exterminated them as well as anything they deemed non human. When we got word of this we pulled as many good people out as we could, we didn't get them all. Because of this group the British Ministry of Magic declared that the ICW couldn't send any forces in unless the Ministry fell. The ICW has decided to ignore that to a degree, thats why I am here. I have a job I need 2 good hunters for. There is a madman on the loose killing anyone who he wants. We know he is going after a family due to a prophecy he believes in. This family sent a friend of theirs to us to plead for our intervention. We decided to intervene I want to offer the 2 of you a job in England no end date yet but we are hoping no more than a few months. Your job would be to secure the house and kill everyone who isn't the home owner should they step foot into the house, barring that you must save the child before Albus Dumbledore can get his hands on him. Do you accept?"

Bobby hearing a family needs saving from a madman and he can help decides to accept. Rufus reluctantly agrees. They are taken to a cottage in a place called Godrics Hollow. Once they arrive they are introduced to the Potters and begin to set up security. Knowing the usual hunter deterrents won't work they instead decide to set up a large demon trap around the whole property just in case this Voldemort fellow is possessed. They set up every ward every defense they can think of if it might even slow him down a bit.

Over the next few months Bobby becomes quite close with the Potters, especially young Harry who reminds him of everything he can't have. Then that fateful Halloween night happens.

Voldemort was absolutely confident since Wizards are by and large stupid he belived the Potters would have no other wards beyond the fidelious of which he had been given the secret. He approaches the house and passes over something that felt weird not like a ward just weird. He blasts his way into the house and is confronted by 3 people. Only one has a wand and he recognizes the man as James Potter who these other two are is unimportant he casts a banishing curse and blows all three back nocking out the 2 muggles. When James stands back up they duel for a few minutes before james is hit with a killing curse. He makes his way upstairs and finds Lilly with her baby. He kills her as well and when he goes to kill baby Harry suddenly he finds himself looking up at his body. He stares at it in astonishment as he sees behind him a bruised and battered scruffy looking muggle with a blade of some kind looking rather satisfied.

Bobby woke up after James had been killed to see Voldemort walking up the stairs towards Lilly and Harry. He decides that he needs to cut the bastards head off as he isn't sure bullets would work. He makes his way behind him and after he kills Lilly wich he was unable to prevent if he wanted to kill the bastard, he cuts his head off with one swift stroke of his machete. After he sees the body fall to the floor quite clearly dead he goes and picks up Harry and comforts him. Once he reaches the bottom of the stairs he finds Rufus awake and having activated their emergency beacon. Once Rufus see's Bobby holding Harry he asks about Lilly and Bobby just shakes his head.

Once their beacon went off Damian appears with a crack hurrying inside. "Is the bastard dead? We have to get the three of you out of here before someone finds you and does something terrible."

Bobby nods "Yeah I cut off his head the body is upstairs. We can leave right now since none of this stuff here is ours anyway. Can you go grab his 4 little stuffed animals from his crib before we go?"

Damian nods and after grabbing them takes them back to Bobby's junk yard. "Bobby I know this is likely to much to ask but do you want to raise Harry? Remus won't be able to if he is even still alive, Peter betrayed his parents and will either be dead or in hiding, Sirius will likely be in prison for killing Peter since it will keep him out of the way of those who want to see things go their way."

Bobby doesn't even hesitate "I will raise him. I am going to need some help though, who do I talk to about erecting massive wards that won't let anything in?"

Damian smiles "Normally I would direct you to the Goblins but they keep records and records can be seen by others for this I would recommend an unspeakable. I'll have one I trust contact you soon."

With that Damian leaves. Rufus turns to Bobby "I guess you are out of the field for the foreseeable future? Not that I blame you frankly. If I had a place like this that I could turn into a fortress I would take Harry in myself. I will help where I can, I'll bring as many books as I can at least once a year if not more frequently."

"Thanks for understanding Rufus. Some things are simply too important to risk life for every day and an innocent child is one such thing. I don't intend on getting rusty so call me if you need something close. That offer of books will be wonderful I will certainly need them. Can you help me set up a room for him before you go?" Booby replies

Rufus smiles "Of course I can my friend. With you not on the road as much would you be willing to help with our research? I'll give your number to hunters I trust and they can call you with cases they need help on."

Bobby thinks for a moment "That would be great. Don't tell any of them about Harry being a druid though."

Thus Harry Potter dies and Harry Singer is born.

With Dumbledore

After seeing the wards finally fall Albus is relieved, finally the prophecy can be fulfilled he just hopes the Potters survive. When he shows up later he finds the house destroyed and James and Lilly both dead he also finds the dead body of Voldemort but no Harry. This is very distressing as suddenly questions begin to run through his head why did Voldemort loose his head? Where is Harry now? Who else was here tonight? As these thoughts are coursing through his head he hears a motorcycle pull up out front. He goes down to meet Sirius Black.

"What happened here? Where is Harry? Did anyone survive?" Sirius asks hoping for some good news

Dumbledore looks at him with sorrow in his eyes "James and Lily are dead, Harry is missing and Voldemort is upstairs without a head."

Sirius is stunned by this he can't even think straight "Do you think Peter took him? I mean he clearly betrayed us. Can you walk with me through the house I need to see them."

Dumbledore nods "Come on I'll walk you through. Honestly I have no idea. I just arrived myself not to long ago." Dumbledore's face goes hard as he looks at Sirius "Harry is your godson I know I preach second chances and redemption but in this instance kill the bastard and if he took Harry then bring him back home. You are now responsible for him, you and Remus. Hagrid myself Minerva we can be extended family that he will need but you need to step in and be the father he needs. Go find him and bring him home."

After they finish with the house and both men have a good long cry Sirius gets himself ready goes hunting for his Godson and the man who killed his family. He catches up to Peter and captures him bringing him in for questioning. Peter did not have Harry nor did he know where he was. Remus and Sirius spend the next 5 years searching the entirety of Europe for him and never finding him. They did however find many adventures and build a name for themselves outside of England as those who find lost children.

Just who is Damian? Who are these people who want Sirius removed? Is Albus good or bad? Will Harry attend Hogwarts? All these questions and more answered eventually.

Honestly I was going to have Dumbledore have plans to have Sirius removed but changed my mind. Dumbledore may not be wholly good but I don't think I will have it be a solely bashing fic either he can have bad qualities while being a good person. I do plan on Harry being smarter than your average first year I mean come on he is growing up with Bobby Singer and all those books how can he not be smarter. I have some ideas for Bobby's wards that are going to sound crazy OP but come on nothing bad ever found Singer Salvage. Besides we know he is paranoid AF so it makes sense to have nutso wards.
