As always, I own Nothing.
Chapter 2 – The Goblins
With a bright flash, a red haired woman appeared inside a deserted house. She was surprised she wasn't injured. Magical backlash usually ends up with the victim hospitalized. She looks around and recognizes where she is.
"Godric's Hollow? I'm back here?" She wonders aloud.
She looks to the crib next to her. An empty crib, and starts to panic.
"No, where is she? Where..?" She asks aloud as she starts to become hysteric.
She notices how cold it is in the room. There has been no heat in the room for at least a couple days.
"If we were thought dead, and Anna was still here, then she should be with Sirius. Though if Peter revealed our secret I can see him chasing Peter down." She pauses as an idea springs up in her mind. "The Goblins, they could help me find her. As well as look at this cut on my cheek."
Quickly rushing out of the room, she grabs one of her hooded cloaks to cover her stealth suit. She then apparates straight to Diagon Alley and runs into Gringotts.
In Gringotts
Walking into the lobby of Gringotts, Sarah had her hood up concealing her completely. Being the middle of the night there were few people in the bank. She made her way over to the Head Goblin.
She quietly asked the Head Goblin, "May I speak to Nagnok please?"
The goblin stared at her, taking in the green eyes, the strands of red hair peeking out from under the hood, and the bleeding cut across her cheek.
"Griphook, take this witch to Nagnok's office." He says, then turns back to his calculations.
"This way please" Griphook says as he turns and starts walking through a nearby door. He guides her into a room. "Wait here."
Another goblin enters through a side door and sits at the desk in front of her. He studies her intently, and then places a piece of parchment on the desk between them along with a small knife.
"Three drops of blood on the parchment." He says in a calm uninterested tone.
As she reaches for the knife the goblin can partially see her stealth suit. He doesn't show his curiosity. She picks up the knife and uses it to collect some blood from her cut cheek to drip on the parchment.

She looked at it confused. '21? I should be 27." She thought to herself. She passes the parchment back to the goblin.
He looks it over. Then he looks up at her, focusing on her still bleeding cheek. Then summons a healer.
She explains her research and the Ritual she performed as Lily. Once her cheek is taken care of and she has explained how she ended up in her situation she asked the most important question of hers.
"Do you know where my daughter is?" The desperation and concern were evident in her voice.
The Goblin looks at her grimly. "Your Wills were sealed by the Chief Warlock. Sirius Black was thrown into Azkaban without a trial. Alice and Frank Longbottom were tortured to the point that they retreated into themselves. Remus Lupin is a werewolf and has been force to find work in the Muggle world as no one in the Wizarding world would hire him, and he has not approached us for a job. Albus Dumbledore has appointed himself 'Harry' Potter's Magical Guardian." He explains to the ever growing concern and anger of Sarah.
"I would like you to setup muggle identities for myself and my daughter, Sarah Louise Kerrigan for myself, and Lelianna Rose Kerrigan for my daughter. Her father's name will be James Eugene Raynor. If possible I would also like to have the Fidelius charm put on the fact that I am Lily Potter and that my daughter is a Potter. I will be the Secret Keeper." Her request would be easy enough to complete. She looked up at Nagnok and asked. "Where would be the last place you would look for the wizarding child who 'defeated' a Dark Lord?"
His response. "The Muggle World."
She snarled in realization. "Petunia."
Nagnok could see her rage. "I will have everything prepared by the time you get back. I will also have a healer ready to look over your daughter." He said as she stood to leave.
Little Whinging, Surrey
She was fuming on her walk down the street. If Anna was truly with Petunia she would make Dumbledore pay. She walked up to the door of Number 4 Private Drive, and knocked. She didn't care that it was the middle of the night. She continued to knock until her overweight brother-in-law answered the door spewing all sorts of curses and threats. He saw her and went silent and pale.
"Vernon, who the devil is it that is pounding on our door waking us up in the middle of the night?" A voice asked from deeper inside the house. At the lack of a response, the woman walked up to the door, and gaped at who was there.
"Petunia, Vernon. Where. Is. My. Child." The words were ground out in such a way, they were more of a statement then a question.
Petunia gulped and quickly fled, only to return shortly with a child. The child had not been bathed nor had a diaper change in days. The windows next to the door shattered.
Sarah glared at them, took the child and left. She would have to think once she calmed down, Petunia and Vernon deserved a well thought out punishment, not one from the heat of the moment.
Gringotts Bank
As she walked back into Nagnok's office she was still plotting against the Dursleys. She finally decided she would have to enlist Sirius' help. Perhaps even some of his family curses.
"Welcome back. I see you were successful. It is obvious that the…placement of the child was ill thought out. Healer Tonks, please clean and remove any bindings and adverse potions from the child. I will remind you that this is a client of Gringotts, so you are unable to speak about this to anyone not in this room or given express permission by this Lady." Nagnok was ever the professional. "My Lady, we have finished preparing what we talked about earlier. Once the healer is finished we can finalize everything."
"Account Manager?" There was so much uncertainty in the healer's word. "I have taken care of all but one thing." She gulps nervously. "Someone turned this child into a Horcrux."
At those words, Nagnok hissed and immediately called up the senior cursebreaker. Horcruxs were vile abominations that should not exist.
Sarah looked at Nagnok and raised an eyebrow questioningly.
"A Horcrux is a shard or sliver of a soul. They are used to anchor a being to the living play, a way to avoid death. To create one it takes an act of evil and malice usually cold blooded murder of an innocent. The most common centuries ago, was small children." Nagnok explained to Sarah.
"Voldemort tried to turn my child into a soul phylactery? Can you remove it safely?" her worry and concern clear in her voice and on her face. Soon to be replaced with horror, "Can you use this one to see if there are others?"
It took hours to remove the Horcrux, but they succeeded, and Lelianna was once again healthy and safe. Nagnok arranged for a place for them to live while the cursebreaker worked.
"Gringotts has arranged for property to be purchased just outside London off the Orbital Motorway. We are building an apartment complex. Owned by you, and managed by Gringotts. Your family gets the top floor penthouse naturally." Nagnok got a mischievous grin. "1 Wiccan Way, Potters Bar. Perhaps this would be a good opportunity to employ muggleborns, make it look like a muggle apartment."
"That is actually a really good idea. If we hide as a muggle family it could throw off anyone looking for us, and the fidelius would be the blanket around the whole thing." Sarah was quite pleased with Nagnoks work. "Healer Tonks, would you consider being our family healer?" She decided that it would be a good idea to have a Healer that she could trust.
"I would be delighted, although I would have to know who you are." Healer Andromeda Tonks replied.
Sarah removed her hood.
Andromeda gasps when she recognizes her. "Lily?"
Sarah grins at Andromeda "Hello Andy."
"Nagnok interrupts them, "My Lady, we should finish with our plans. The Fidelius is ready."
With the Fidelius Charm in place and Andromeda told the Secret they wrapped up for the night. Andromeda offered the guest room to Sarah and Lelianna. Ted and Nymphadora Tonks were let in on the secret, and that their cover was that Sarah was a muggle, and Lelianna was a muggleborn witch.
Whenever asked the Tonks' would say they were muggle friends of the family who already knew about magic due to Lelianna being a muggleborn.
With the Fidelius Charm, anyone who noticed the similar appearance of Sarah Kerrigan to Lily Potter believed it to be just a coincidence.
