It was late in the evening of September First and Professor Snape was sitting in his office. He had just come from a meeting about getting three of his top students back in the school from the headmaster's office, after they had been withdrawn from the school and he wasn't notified. That mission had been a complete failure and he had lost two of his most promising fifth years, Daphne Greengrass and Tracy Davis and a third year, Astoria Greengrass when the family had fled to the United States. Besides losing the three girls, he was still being forced to help find the Potter brat who had vanished two months before; and then the goblins had walked away with the corpse of the thousand year old basilisk, which Potter had supposedly slain. He didn't believe the boy had done it, and was determined to get all of the body given to him, since it died on the Hogwarts grounds, but even the board of governors wouldn't even help on that front. Before Delores Umbridge - undersecretary to the minister and the new DADA teacher was sent to prison she had swore she would get him the corpse of the basilisk back. Neither thought they would fail but they did, so Snape was in a foul mood and would stay in a foul mood until McGonagall and the board of governors had received so many complaints that Dumbledore had to step in and prevent him from being fired by the board.

September first found Ron and Hermione searching the Hogwarts express after the prefect meeting. They were looking for their former friend to try and make up for the year before. They searched in vain, thinking the stories that had been printed in the paper as lies but alas they didn't find Harry or the missing girls. They did find Neville Longbottom sitting with a strange blond girl that Ron called Looney but her real name was Luna. The girl was reading a magazine upside down and talking about creatures that didn't exist. When they arrived at the school the reported to Professor McGonagall that Harry was missing along with three Slytherins. The professor thanked the two and replied by saying she knew the Slytherins were missing and had been pulled from the school and she had hoped that the report on Lord Potter wasn't true but with a sigh admitted she thought he wouldn't return.

During the feast they listened to their new DADA professor go on about how she was going to teach the class. DADA proved very incentive to the students to learn. Mrs. Holmes an American which she knew that Albus hated but after Umbridge had been arrested and sent to prison she was the only one who had applied and had applied directly to the board. She also told the students she had a double mastery in DADA and Healing.

Mrs. Holmes was also very determined to stamp out the bullying of the muggleborns and half-bloods and that's was when Draco fell afoul of her when he learned she was a muggleborn. He earned multiple detentions and point loss for his language and lip to her which had Snape ready to blow his top. Snape tried to confront her but she didn't back down and Snape swore to take it to Dumbledore and she said go ahead she had been hired by the board. Both Dumbledore and Snape thought she would be gone by the end of the year because of the curse. They would both be surprised the next year when she returned due to her contract. The Gringott Goblins had given her a sheet of parchment that told them they had found the curse on the position and had removed it when they claimed the basilisk and at their urging the asked them not to say anything to the headmaster because they wanted to surprise him when she had returned. The board was ecstatic that they could finally have a DADA instructor who could return after the first year teaching so they went for a three year contract and she happily signed it.

The next morning's paper would have the letter written about the abuse Harry had suffered under by his so called family and who was responsible. Dumbledore had to quickly move to save them and get them into a safe house that he purchased for them. The new house was bought by him and given to the Dursleys and he had the elves of Hogwarts pop everything they owned to the new house. That night the house was destroyed by magical fire and signs left in the front yard declaring them child abusers. He refused to declare the location and he quickly lost his position that he had regained in the Wizengamot and the ICW kicked him out. He was fuming at Harry telling everyone what had happened to him. It wouldn't be until the following year that he found out the truth.

During the early part of the month of September, Harry and Daphne planned on how they would take care of their children and worked on their NEWT level reviews because in June of next year they would be taking them in Seattle. They also worked around the house and Harry continued to stockpile firewood for the winter and make repairs to the buildings if they needed any but the elves always beat him to them. They also had a visit from the local police to see who was living on the property that winter due to its remoteness and he was surprised that it was different people then who met him the year before. Behind the house, the magical generator was running, powering the original electronics.

Harry planned to build a third barn next year for a permanent workshop/storage shop. He also prepared the vehicles in the barn for winter and then Harry and Daphne made a quick trip to Nome and bought up Christmas decorations when they found the house did not have any. Harry also used a spell he found in the family grimoire, to lift a small pine tree out of the ground and place it into a planter for use in the house for Christmas. On the thirtieth they used the elves to take them to Juneau and did some shopping for Christmas because once winter hit they wouldn't want to leave home. When they got home they found the mail box glowing and they pulled it out and read in shock that Voldemort had destroyed part of the ministry in anger. Why they didn't know nor did they care as long as he had been ousted.

While in Juneau, Daphne fell in love with a scarlet macaw in a pet shop that kept saying 'beautiful lady' to her, and she talked to the owner and found out they could live a very long life, and they could eventually hold a conversation when they were trained. Daphne bought a large cage, food, books and a pair of macaws that were both four months old, but from different parents. When they popped home, with the elves help, Daphne had them set the cage up in the corner of the living room where the birds could look out the window.

Over the next few days Harry strung up the outside lights with the help of Dobby and Happy, as they knew the snow would soon be arriving. They also hung lights on two small pines that flanked the walkway up to the front steps. Using the magical sockets that would draw magic from the environment because of the runes engraved on the outlets they quickly had the lights on and blinking.

The first snowfall came on October 13th, and seemed it didn't want to stop all winter long. During this time Daphne's pregnancy progressed to where she would spend most of the time relaxing after they found out it was going to be twins, and they were due in early April. She also noticed the paintings of Harry's parents were active finally and she greeted them. They asked who Daphne was, and she introduced herself and said she would get Harry for them. They talked with both of them and finally Lily asked how far along she was and Daphne told her four months with twins. Both Lily and James were very happy about that.

Halloween came around and for the first time Harry had a peaceful October 31st, with no danger. Then it rolled into November. On Thanksgiving Day, the elves cooked them their first thanksgiving meal for their new family and Sally had to explain to their new masters why it was celebrated here in the United States.

Snow had started falling in October, and was sticking to the ground. By December sixteenth, there was three feet on the ground but using banishing charms they had cleared the area around the house, barns and out buildings. Each building had its own guide line strung to it. On the seventeenth the Elves popped in with the Greengrass and Davis families to spend Christmas with them. Astoria and Tracy shared one of the bedrooms and the Davis and Greengrasses parents had their own while Angus slept in his parent's room.

Angela Greengrass and Maria Davis did physicals of both Harry and Daphne and declared that they were in fit condition and that Daphne's pregnancy was going smoothly. Harry taught Cyrus how to ride the snowmobiles and the two of them had a ball zipping down to the water's edge on a day it wasn't snowing. They tried to get Mr. Davis to join in but he wouldn't have anything to do with the contraptions as he called them. The days rolled around to Christmas and three year old Angus was ecstatic over all the toys he got, including the large block Lego toys that Harry had picked up and the large cars and a Tonka dump truck but the toy he loved was the big wheel that he could barely ride and had Astoria push him around on. Dinner that night was a huge turkey with a prime rib with all the trimmings and for desert there were several different pies that the elves had suggested. New Years they had the elves take them to Juneau where they celebrated in one of the best restaurants in the city. They dined on fresh caught seafood and stayed until the ball dropped in New York City. After the celebration they were then popped back to the house where they slept the rest of the night away. Two days later they elves popped the families back to Seattle where they took the floo back to Boston.

One day, Harry was in their library going through the trunks of books and he decided to expand the room and with the elves help added more book shelves. Daphne was ecstatic and started to shelve the hundreds of books that were still in the trunks. It took her a week to shelve all the books. One section was completely muggle, and then they organized the books by subject and obscure magic as well. All the books were automatically added to the directory with their title and the authors name when they were shelved.

February rolled around and Daphne started taking it a lot easy as her pregnancy entered the seventh month and she kept saying she felt like she was going to explode. She mostly read books on the courses they would be tested in while Harry worked in the workshop or massaged his wife's feet. He turned a couple of vases out of oak on the lathe and then sanded and then stained them as well as built his first model aircraft. He found a spell that would make things waterproof and then on Valentine's Day he had one of the elves take him to Seattle and he found a florist that had what he wanted and bought red and white roses with baby's breath. He then went looking and bought some expensive muggle chocolate for Daphne and then he returned to the house where he put the flowers in the vases and set them on the coffee table before Daphne woke up. Each vase held one dozen red and white roses and between them was the wrapped box of chocolate. When Daphne saw them she started crying and he thought he had done something wrong but she told him they were happy tears. On March thirty-first they sent Astoria a birthday gift which was a jewelry box with several pairs of expensive earrings. One pair was rubies the other sapphires.

April rolled in and nothing happened for the first six days but at six am, on April seventh Daphne's water broke. Harry helped a very pregnant Daphne up as he picked up a bag of clothes. Last month the elves scouted the hospital and found a place they could be popped into. They quickly popped them to the location and Harry helped Daphne into the emergency room of Fairbanks Memorial Hospital after Dobby and Winky left them after wishing them good luck and helping his mistress into a wheelchair that Dobby had acquired. Her water had busted fifteen minutes before and Daphne was in a lot of pain which she proved as the door opened and pain slammed into his wife.

Daphne groaned in pain as the twins wanted out as the elves helped her into a wheelchair and he started pushing her in.

As the door opened he shouted out, "I need a doctor."

A woman looked up from the desk and grabbed the phone as she saw the man who yelled out. Seeing the woman was pregnant and her lower nightgown was wet she hit several buttons and said into the phone, "Maternity, we have a mother in labor."

Standing up she said, "This way," and pushed the door opened as she heard running feet on the other side.

Harry followed the woman and as the door was fully opened he saw another woman come to a stop.

"We'll take her from here. When did her water break?" the new woman asked as she helped pull Daphne into the room.

"About fifteen minutes ago," Harry replied.

"Thank you, I'll leave you with Beth here to fill out the paperwork," the nurse said as she took control of the wheelchair and vanished into the back.

"Congratulations," Beth said as she guided Harry to the registration desk where Harry spent the next fifteen minutes answering questions on his wife and worrying about her. He offered his Black Visa credit card to cover all the bills and assured the woman that he was quite rich. After the woman did a check on the card, he was finally allowed to find his wife where she was being escorted around the room by a nurse. Ten long hours later, Daphne gave birth to Lily Angela Potter and Cyrus James Potter after threatening to remove a certain body part on her husband. A shocked Harry Potter sat in one of the chairs holding his sleeping son while Daphne fed their daughter her first meal. In another room, a doctor was covering the face of a young witch who had been critically injured as her husband of a year had been rushing them to the hospital when they hit a patch of black ice and skidded out of control. The crash killed her husband instantly on impact and badly injured the mother. They were able to save the newborn daughter in an emergency cesarean birth, but the mother had later died.

Later that night found Harry in the ward where the babies were kept staring at his sleeping children while his wife was sleeping in her bed. He had just finished changing his son for the first time when he noticed that there were only three babies in the ward that night, his two children and a blond haired little girl who was screaming her lungs out as the nurse tried to rock her to sleep.

Watching the nurse he asked, "What's wrong with her?"

"We're not sure. She's healthy, been fed and cleaned but she keeps crying. I think she wants her mother," the nurse said sadly.

"Well shouldn't you take her to her?" Harry asked as he looked at the crying child.

"We can't. Her father died in a car accident, and her mother passed away delivering her via caesarian," she replied.

"Oh, how horrible! I know how she feels. I lost my parents when I was eighteen months old. They were killed by a terrorist in the United Kingdom," Harry replied sadly and then asked, "Would you let me hold her?"

The nurse looked down at the crying baby and then at Mr. Potter and nodded, "It can't hurt."

Handing the young man the baby who was already suited up because he had helped change the twin's diapers, she was surprised when the baby latched on to his gown and went quiet within seconds.

The baby's magic had reached out and latched on to Harry's magic and she felt contentment as a bond started to form.

"Well, I'll be a monkeys aunt," the nurse said as Mr. Potter gently rocked the baby to sleep.

"When will her relatives come for her?" Harry asked as he noticed the nurses name was Naomi.

"Never. We haven't found anyone on either side to come for her. The father was placed in an orphanage when he was three months old and the mother lost her folks last year in a car accident neither have any siblings that we found. She will be going into foster care or be adopted."

"I'll talk with my wife and see if we can adopt her. It's not like we don't have the money to raise more children and…"

"I don't think the state will allow you too, besides the twins will give your wife enough of a hard time," Naomi replied.

"I think we can, and as to the twins being taken care of, we have several servants, and since all I do for work is manage my family fortune, I'll be there o help as well," Harry replied as he looked down at the baby sleeping.

Harry gently placed the baby back in her bed and covered her up, "Sleep tight little one."

Harry left the room and headed up to his wife's room where he found her sleeping. Lowering himself into the recliner he watched her sleep and thought of the magical orphan sleeping downstairs. The last thing he remembered before falling asleep was to contact Gringotts and see if they could help adopt the baby girl, because he was positive that Daphne would agree with him.

The sound of the door opening at six am had him jerking awake, as two nurses came in carrying the twins. He leaped to his feet and took his daughter as his son was handed to his mother to feed.

The nurses quickly left and as he gently rocked his daughter he thought of last night and then said, "Honey."

"Yes, dear?" Daphne replied as she adjusted the baby in her arms.

"Last night while in the nursery, I was watching the children sleep. There was an incident, and no, it wasn't our children. There is a third baby there that is magical, and she is all alone in this world. From what I learned, her father was killed in a car accident and her mother died during delivery. She has no family to go to and will wind up in foster care. I want to know what you think about adopting her."

Daphne's eyes had gone wide at what she was hearing and she quickly nodded, "We can raise three just as easily as two. Do what you need to do."

"Ok," Harry replied and then picked up the phone and started dialing Gringotts in Seattle. He waited for the phone to be picked up and for once he was glad that American wizards were more ahead of the times than Britain.

The phone was picked up and a gruff voice asked who they wanted.

Harry replied, "Boneknife."

Seconds later the phone was picked up and Harry started explaining the situation to his account manager. Boneknife said he would be there within the hour with a lawyer to help set up the adoption and to register his two children's vaults.

Fifty-nine minutes later Boneknife arrived, in disguise, with a woman. They came into Daphne's room. The woman was carrying three stuffed bears with balloons tied to them that said 'Congratulations.' Daphne had just finished feeding the new baby that the maternity ward had brought up because she wouldn't stop crying. She was now sleeping in Daphne's arms.

After a blood inheritance search, they found out that the baby had no remaining family. Boneknife pulled out some paperwork, which they quickly filled out and signed with a blood quill. The baby was christened Elizabeth Astoria Potter and was given the blood adoption potion. Elizabeth was her mother's name and not knowing who to use for the middle name they used Daphne's sisters. Not much changed on the baby, except that her cheeks and nose took on her new mother's features. They found out she had a small vault with two hundred thousand galleons and some stored items. Harry asked that the goblins to go to her parent's home, pack everything up and place it in the vault for their new daughter. That way when they tell her she's adopted, she will have her parent's things to go through and have something to remember them by. Harry then ordered Boneknife to invest half of the money in the vault. Boneknife agreed to have that done and then he and the lawyer left to take different portkey back to Seattle and Juneau where the paper work would be filed.

Three days later the family headed home by using the elves. They quickly had the babies set up in the room next to theirs, and they settled in for the last bit of winter before Harry would spend the summer planting crops in the area the elves had cleared for them. He would also work in the wood shop making items on the lathes and continue building models with Happy. They also studied to take their NEWTS in late July.

The next three months ran them ragged as they took care of their children and studied. June flew by, and a few days before their July testing date, they arrived in Seattle. They headed for their hotel with two of their elves disguised as human female nannies.

Back on September twentieth Voldemort had led his few followers that were free to Azkaban and killed all the Aurors on duty and freed his people before the ministry knew what was happening. He also took all the Dementors with him when he left. It would take several months before his followers would be ready to make raids and to take over; but for now, he planned to get the prophecy.

The night of September thirtieth rolled around and, Voldemort entered the ministry under a glamour charm and headed for the Department of Mysteries, where he proceeded to the prophecy room. Picking his way through the room he soon found row 97 and then the prophecy which he picked up and after placing a muffliato spell around himself, he activated it and listened to the first part and then the voice changed and started insulting him and his heritage. He was so pissed he destroyed the room, shattering thousands of prophecy orbs before heading to the exit where he ran into Dumbledore and Fudge with a dozen aurors that included Amelia Bones. The fight cost him eleven of the twelve of his inner circle. Only one was able to escape, the rest were stunned and captured.

He knew that he didn't have the correct prophecy but Dumbledore didn't know either so he continued to plan and wondered if Potter knew it. He asked Snape who the woman that predicted the prophecy was but Snape reported he didn't know as he never saw her face. Somehow it had been removed and altered. He knew the voice that it changed to, and it pissed him off. He was happy the mudblood was dead but he wished he could kill her again. He also needed to plan how to rescue his inner circle that had been captured.
