Okay guys, a lot of you will be kind of happy at this. I know I said that this story was abandoned for the moment, but I changed my mind. From now on I'm going to do one story at a time, so maybe when I finish this one, I'll take up The Golden Trio, The Marauders, and Lily Read PS. Sounds good? Updates will probably be slow, because I have a really busy schedule this year, but I'll do my best.

You know what actually made me want to start this story again? Is that I decided to read all of your fab reviews, and I realized that maybe this story wasn't as bad as I thought. And I made a really detailed outline to help me write it, so I won't lose it in the middle of a story.

So anyway…. Here is chapter 3.

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, I wouldn't be writing this if I did. So don't sue me.

(This chapter takes place several days after Harry leaves Privet Drive.)

James was still in shock by the fact that it had been fourteen years since he had "died". Well everybody must think him to be dead, since he was in a coffin, right?

He had been into Muggle London and by chance, found a newspaper. The year 1995! Not 1981.

Since then, he had been looking desprately for Sirius and Remus. He couldn't find them anywhere. James hadn't thought that going into The Leaky Cauldron would be the best idea, seeing as he was "dead." But now he was getting desperate.

For the first time, James realized that not once had he thought of going to his house in Godric's Hollow. What if they were there? Most likely they weren't, but it was worth a try.

James was nervous about Apparating without practice, so instead he took a Muggle bus to a nearby town and walked the rest of the way.

As he came down the street of his home, James gasped. The house was in ruins. The roof had collapsed in on itself, and the wood was darker, charred. The garden that Lily had attended to so carefully was wild and overgrown, the hedges untrimmed, and the flowers dead.

As if in a dream, James reached out and was about to push open the gate when a sign popped out of the ground right in front of him. As he read, he felt himself go weak at the knees.

(A/N: I would post the sign, but I don't have my copy of Deathly Hallows with me at the moment, so I don't remember it. To everyone who hasn't read the book or doesn't remember, it basically says that Lily and James nobly lost their lives trying to save their son, and that Harry remains the only person alive who has survived the killing curse. There are initials and notes surrounding this text as well.)

Harry was alive! It was nothing short of a miracle. James had been so sure that he had died. But how had he survived?

"The sole surviver of the Killing Curse." How? His own son? James felt pride well up in him at the fact that his son had done the impossible. "I bet they call him The Boy Who Didn't Die or something like that." He would have laughed if he had known how close he was to the truth.

Then another thought hit him. His son was going to be fifteen in a couple of days! He not only had a son, but a teenage kid! James was only 21 himself, or that was how old he was when he had 'died', but he didn't look any different than before. Harry was only six years older than James himself! How weird was that?

But where was Harry? He wasn't in Godric's Hollow, obviously. He must be with Sirius. The man was Harry's godfather, after all. Now the question was, where was Sirius? He had been looking all over for him these past few days, and there was no sign of him anywhere. There was one place he hadn't looked: Grimmauld Place. Sirius had sworn never to go back there after he left there at age sixteen, but James couldn't think of any other options. He knew that Sirius was the last heir of the Black family, so he wouldn't be in too much danger of unfriendly people.

James needed to find his son. Forgetting his fear of Apparating, he disappeared with a pop. He reappeared seconds later in front of numbers 11 and 13.

Now, how to get in? Was there some kind of code or password? Or was it under the Fidalious (is that spelled right?) Charm, like his house in Godric's Hollow once was? That must be it. Now, the only thing to do was wait until someone, hopefully Sirius, came out of the house.

Little did James know, inside number 12 of aforementioned street, Molly Weasley was giving Fred and George Weasley a very stern (and very loud) lecture on some prank they had performed. Her husband, deciding he needed a break from all of the shouting, and besides, he needed to fetch something at the Ministry, left the house. The first thing he saw when he stepped outside was Harry. But he had spoken to him only five minutes ago, and he was playing a game of Exploding Snap with Ron.

"Harry?" he asked. "You're not supposed to be out here, what are you—" He never finished his sentence. The man in front of him wasn't Harry. He looked like Harry, but his eyes were the wrong color, and his nose a little longer. It must be a Death Eater in disguise, pretending to be Harry, and doing a bad job of it too.

The last thing James heard was someone shouting "Stupefy!" The last thing he saw was a read haired man with a wand pointing at his chest, and a burst of red light.

Oooohh, a little cliffhanger! Hahahahaha! But I do have a little helpful hint as to what happens, if you can read it. Here it is:

Didigum-blidige-didigore idigand Sidigir-idigi-idigus idigin-tidigerr-idigo-gidigate Jidigames, idigand thidigey cidigall idigan idigee-midiger-gidigen-cidigy idigOr-didiger midigeet-idiging.

Now, can you read that? Anyone who tells me what language that is gets the minor prize (I'll decide what later). The major prize goes to the person who can correctly translate that into something recognizable (namely, English.) Hahahahahaha!!!!!!!!

Sorry that this chapter is kind of short (barely 4 pages) but I wanted to get something up for you as soon as I could.

Oh, and is it possible for me to get a beta?

Thanks to all my reviewers!

(And please review again!)
