A/N: For this one I once again can't remember the name of it but I think I called it "Fate's Gift", there are also 2 chapters here just incase you were wondering, sadly I had so many plans for this one but my writing MoJo just wasn't there and eventually I lost interest.

Chapter One

Disclaimer: No I don't own Harry Potter if I did Ron Weasley would have been killed off by the third book.

"Lily it's HIM he's here!" cried out the voice of James Potter, he sprinted into the living room to find his wife Lily Potter cradling their son Harry James Potter with a look of pure terror sketched upon her face,

"Quick, take Harry upstairs I'll hold him off!"

"James I can't just leave you to..."

"Lils just DO IT PLEASE!" he yelled in worry for his wife and son, Lily unhappy about leaving her husband behind did as told if only to save Harry, James looked back around at the door which was soon to come right of it's hinges when suddenly,

BANG!

The door slammed down on the floor hard, stood at the now archway was the one man James had hoped to avoid for a long long time,

"Why James you don't look to pleased to see me" Lord Voldermort said with a joyful sound in his voice,

James forgot all fear and could only feel rage at this man who had made his family's life a living hell for the past year with trying to track them down, suddenly he leapt into his auror persona and began to duel or rather tried to duel,

He cast several hexes and stunners at the Dark Lord but all to no avail, Voldermort simply cast them aside with simple spells frustrating James, suddenly Death Eaters arrived and Voldermort stopped duelling,

"Well Potter it's been fun but I have a appointment with your son" he smiled then turned to his death eaters,

"Kill him" he said simply and proceeded to the staircase, James attempted to follow but waves of Avada Kerdavra's were thrown at him which he managed to avoid, he kept duelling and knew that sooner or later he'd get caught by one when suddenly help arrived,

"Prongs!" came the voices of two separate men, he looked around to find Sirius and Remus along with Albus Dumbledore at the fireplace taking only a moment before leaping into action, James however still wary from his duel with Voldermort and been outnumbered finally lost to his Physical drainage and was struck in the back with a stunner and passed out.

Lily watched in horror as Voldermort ascended upon the top floor and almost seemed to glide towards her and Harry, she ran into Harry's room and tried to barricade the door but she didn't have enough time as the Dark Lord simply blew to door off,

"Give me the boy" he hissed at her, she cradled Harry closer to her,

"No NEVER!" She yelled back,

"Don't be a fool, give the boy and I shall spare your life" he hissed in annoyance,

"I'd rather DIE than give you my son!" she spat, he moved towards her,

"Give me the boy you STUPID GIRL!" he redrew his wand but didn't even utter a spell as mother and son were separated with Lily been thrown across the room and Harry falling to the floor and began to cry,

"Nothing can stand in my way now, not you, not some prophecy, goodbye young Potter...Avada Kerdavra!" the green light of the killing curse left Voldermort's wand and instead of killing the young child rebounded off him and connected with it's castor, tearing the soul from the body,

Lily watched from across the room, unable to move and slowly losing consciousness, she watched as the soul of the Dark Lord quickly fled and her son fall,

"Harry" she gasped until like her husband and son she also fell to darkness.

Albus Dumbledore and Remus Lupin sat in the waiting room at St Mungo's hospital, Albus Dumbledore was not a man easily stirred but he was still human and did occasionally have his moments, sat at Hogwarts watching the youngsters enjoy there Halloween feast, he couldn't help but feel as though something wasn't quite right,

He also noticed a slightly anxious look upon some of the Slytherin seventh year students, whilst not one to pry unless it was needed he took a glance at one of the boys he knew would soon become recruited by the Death eaters especially since his father was a high ranking one.

After bypassing some rather poor occlumency shields, he found the memory that made his heart freeze, he saw the boy talking with his father and his father letting slip about a raid on the Potter household, he suddenly left the Great Hall leaving no explanation and travelled to the home of Sirius Black, he was surprised to see Sirius there with Remus Lupin chatting over Firewiskey, after explaining everything the three quickly used the floo to arrive at the Potter home to find James Potter duelling to the death with several death eaters,

Suddenly Remus began to break down again, Albus placed his hand gently on the young man's shoulder, he was about to say something to comfort him when a young healer made her way over to the two of them, she appeared rather shy about talking face to face with the legendary Albus Dumbledore but her professional side took over,

"Mr Dumbledore, Mr Lupin?" Remus looked up at the young women now giving her his full attention,

"Miss, how's James, Lily and Harry?" he asked in a rush,

"Mr Potter has received several broken ribs and a minor concussion but he should be back on his feet within the week" she explained, Remus let out a large breath he hadn't known he was holding,

"And how are Lily and Harry?"

"Mrs Potter's fine, she was simply knocked unconscious she'll be allowed out by tomorrow morning"

Remus smiled and suddenly felt much more calm,

"And young Harry?" Dumbledore asked, The healer smiled,

"He's fine, he suffered a rather large bruise but he's fine"

"There wasn't anything peculiar about his magic when you checked him over?" Albus asked, the healer took a quick look at her chart,

"No nothing, he's as healthy as a young child could be" Remus smile became even bigger,

"May we go see them?" Remus asked,

"Unfortunately, both Mr and Mrs Potter are still asleep but Harry is awake if you wish to visit him" she said before been dragged off by another healer, Remus turned to Albus,

"Well at least it's over" he said before going off to visit his surrogate nephew, Dumbledore watched Remus leave, a pensive look found itself etched on his face,

"Unfortunately Remus I believe it is just the beginning"

Within hours Lily was released from St Mungo's, Remus offered her the space at his flat and her and Harry were soon there, several days later James was also released as well,

The Potter family along with Remus, Albus and several others were all stood in the cemetery by the freshly dug grave,

Two weeks earlier

James moaned in annoyance as a blinding headache came on as he arose from his slumber, he took in his surroundings and found himself in a hospital room, suddenly a familiar voice came to draw his attention,

"James your awake!" came the voice of Remus who appeared at the door, James sat up and attempted to gather his thoughts,

"Hi Moony" he said, suddenly he remembered what had happened,

"Remus where are Lily and Harry!" he practically screamed in worry, Remus held up his hand in an attempt to calm his friend,

"There both fine, there staying at my flat at the moment since your house was too wrecked" James sighed in relief,

"Oh thank god everyone got out okay" he eventually said after a long pause, Remus face suddenly fell and James noticed it,

"Remus what's wrong?", Remus looked upon the verge of tears,

"Remus?" James asked again tentatively,

"Not everyone made it out alright Prongs" Remus replied not meeting James's eyes any more,

"They got Padfoot" he finally said, James felt his heart sink,

"Well then we'll go after him then" James said clinging to false hope that Remus didn't mean what he thought he meant,

"No James they didn't take him, they...they killed him"

The burial had taken it's toll on both Remus and James, Lily had been just as bad and even Harry had seemed quieter than he normally was,

After returning back to Remus's flat no one said anything for a at least an hour, before Albus arrived via the floo,

"Once again you have my deepest sympathy for your loss, all three of you" Albus said, however there was a tone in his voice that seemed to peak that this was going to be an important conversation, James still distraught over his brother by choices death wasn't really in the mood for pleasantries right now,

"Professor, no offence but what are you doing here?" he asked, the old man sighed, this wasn't going to be easy,

"I've come to ask if you and Lily have any plans, Voldemort may be gone for now but there are many of his legions still out there"

"I don't know professor, everything has just come as a bit of a shock, first Harry destroying Voldemort, then our home getting destroyed not to mention finding out one of your best friends is dead and the other is a traitorous bastard!" James practically spat the last words out of his mouth, Lily and Remus seemed to share the same feeling as both their face held both Rage and disgust over the mention of Pettigrew,

Albus however realised he had just been presented an opening,

"Ah that's partly to do with my arrival tonight James, as you know Pettigrew escaped and has yet to be found" Dumbledore said disappointedly,

"Yes so what?" Remus asked irritably,

"Whilst I have no doubt that several death eaters will be sent to Azkaban, many we presume to be in Voldemort's legion hold far too much influence in the ministry" Dumbledore again said sadly, even he had to admit he hated that little fact,

"Yeah like Malfoy, I've no doubt that grease ball will find a way to avoid Azkaban" James said in distaste, Dumbledore nodded his head in agreement,

"Yes and that had brought me to the main reason I am here, I believe it would be best if Harry went to stay at your families home for a while Lily" Dumbledore explained, the room suddenly became very tense and silent, finally Lily broke the silence,

"Bollocks" she simply said, both Remus and James might have been shocked at her language if they hadn't been thinking the same thing,

"Lily please listen" Albus began but Lily cut him up,

"Not a chance in hell, Petunia hates magic as does that husband of hers, she's also stated quite well she wants nothing to do with me or my family" Lily explained,

Dumbledore decided to go for sympathetic approach,

"Lily, Mrs Dursley is your family" Dumbledore remarked, Lily seemed somewhat saddened,

"In blood only, No Albus Harry isn't going anywhere near them" Lily said and glared at him in a way that he knew he shouldn't make the suggestion again,

"Very well, however whilst Voldemort is currently gone we must remember that his legion is still very much here also you mustn't forget about the..."Albus was about to mention the Prophecy when his eyes glanced over at Remus,

"It's all right Albus Remus knows about the Prophecy,we told him last night" James in-putted, Remus nodded as well,

"Ah well then you mustn't forget about the Prophecy that has yet come into play" Dumbledore explained,

All three looked saddened and down right depressed about this,

"Albus how can you be so sure he'll return?" James asked,

"Sure, sure my boy, no I am not sure of anything, however I do believe we have not yet seen the last of him" Albus replied gravely,

"So now what?" Lily asked,

"Are you are truly against your son going to your sister?" Dumbledore asked one last time hoping he wasn't going to regret it,

"No Albus!" she growled, Dumbledore nodded in acceptance,

"Then perhaps it would be best you leave England for a while" he stated, the trio looked at each other,

"And go where Albus?" James asked,

"I would suggest as far away as possible, the less contact you have here in England the better" Albus explained, no one again said anything and Albus realised that this was something the Potters needed to discuss in private,

"I shall give you time to talk it over but I ask you do not take to long, time is a factor"

he soon disappeared in a puff of green smoke by the fireplace leaving the three young people with a lot on their minds.

Lily and James laid in bed talking about where they could possibly go,

"Well the Potter vaults are pretty vast, we could go anywhere Lils and start up home again" James said as his wife nuzzled into his chest,

"I know but it's still a big change, a whole new county and what not, plus we may have to learn a new language" she replied,

"Well maybe we could go to America or Australia or something" James replied, Lily suddenly perked up somewhat,

"I've always wanted to go to Australia and see the outback" she said dreamily, James frowned in confusion,

"Out...what?" he asked in confusion, she gave a small laugh at her husbands lack of knowledge, whilst he might know a lot about the British muggle world, he wasn't familiar with the rest yet,

"I'll explain tomorrow she said as she found herself tired very suddenly", James smiled at the beautiful read head with her head upon his chest,

"So Australia it is then" Lily murmured what he could only believe to be an agreement, James suddenly had another thought,

"Lils, I know Dumbledore said we were in danger but we're not the only ones, do you think we can bring Remus with us?" he asked, her, Lily suddenly took part in the conversation again, she met James's eyes,

"I just lost one brother, I don't want to lose another" he sadly stated, Lily smiled at him,

"Of course, he is family after all, how about we ask him first thing tomorrow?" she replied,

"Okay, well guess tomorrow begins the next step of our lives" James said, Lily however didn't respond as she started to emit soft snores,

Ooo~ooO

And that is the last of the stories I have, I wrote several others over the years but I lost most of them and these were the few I had left on my hard drive, Like I stated before I may go back and attempt some of these stories again one day but for now I'm placing them up here so I can laugh at how badly written most of it all is (I still suck but I HAVE gotten better).
