I do not own any characters apart from Sam.

Chapter 2: Albus Dumbledore intervenes

Sam and Harry were playing by the fire while Albus, James and Lily talk about what will happen to the 1 year old twins.

"Lily you have to realise that as the kids grow up Harry will start getting jealous of Sam, he could even turn against us"

"James we can't. I can't. Harry is my son and I can't let him go" Lily pleaded

"Think about the kids Lily" Albus said, "you know that Sam will get more attention, like James said, Harry could get jealous and go dark on us"

"No. Please don't take my child" Lily whimpered, "I birthed them both and they need each other to survive"

"Lily you need to stop crying a toughen up" growled James, "Harry will be fine, we can make sure he goes to a safe place but he can't stand in Sam's spotlight" Lily started crying. "Lily!" James slapped her, "give him up". Lily was shocked at how her husband had just slapped her. She walk up to Harry and picked him up, holding him to her chest while quietly sobbing

"If you want Harry you'll have to go through me" James look at Albus, he nodded.

"I don't want to do this Lily but I'm afraid I have to" Lily watched becoming horrified when James pulled out his wand "LACERO". The curse hit Lily's side and formed a cut that started bleeding. She dropped Harry in shock. She put a cushioning spell under Harry so he didn't land hard. "STUPEFY". James shot the curse towards Lily and let her thump to the ground to the second time that night. He walked over to Harry and picked him up roughly by the arm and carried him over to Albus.

"Is there any place where he won't know magic that you know of" Albus asked James. A dark look came over his face.

"Petunia and Vernon are complete Magic haters, they'll make sure no magic enters their house, or even vocabulary. I think it's the best option" James answered. Albus nodded. He picked Harry up and held him tightly.

"OBSCURO" Albus whispered creating a blindfold appear over Harry's eyes. Harry started to struggle against Albus as he tried to take the blindfold off. "Incarcerous" Albus muttered, binding Harry's arms and legs together so he couldn't run away. Harry started panicking. He couldn't see or move.

"Dada!" He cried. James ignored him and walked over to put Sam to bed. Albus watched as James walked away. Harry was whimpering as he was carried out the door and into the cold night. He didn't feel safe in this stranger's arms. He continued to struggle against the binds while the arms holding got tighter.

"Stop moving, be quiet and you won't get hurt" Hissed the old man, "Lily cared for you too much and thought you should be around Sam! As if, you'd just steal his spotlight" Albus continued down the path to walked past the protection wards.

Harry whimpered. "Mummy" he cried softly. Suddenly he felt nothing underneath him and he hit the ground hard.

"What did I say about being quiet?" Albus growled. Harry hurt from the fall but stayed quiet. "We're about to apparate so be warned" The boy tensed up at the sound of his voice and stayed as still as he could, his heart pounding. All of a sudden he felt as though he was being squeezed through a tube too small for his body, when he thought that he would explode, it stopped.

Albus Dumbledore walked up to the house of number 4 privet drive. The boy can rot here for all I care thought Dumbledore as long as he doesn't steal little sammy's fame or fortune.

"Remember Harry, if you make a sound I'll hurt you" Harry just nodded

Albus walked up to the door and knocked before apparating back outside the Potter's house and walking in.

"Has Lily woken up yet?"

"Yes"

"How did she react?"

"She was hopeless, crying all over the place. I slapped some sense into her though" Albus nodded, acting sad. "Did you take him?" James asked him

"Yep, I left him at the door with a note before I came back here" Albus replied. James smiled and had a house elf, called Hida, bring out some tea for Albus and himself as they talked about what would happen now that Harry was gone.

"VERNON! YOU NEED TO GET DOWN HERE!" yelled a female named Petunia who was looking at the bound child on her doorstep.

"What is it no-" Vernon trailed off when he saw the baby. He turned to his wife. "Who's this? He asked angrily

"I don't know, there's a letter though" She said as she picked the baby up. "Lets bring the little brat inside at least"
