Welcome back for the second chapter of Back & Forth! Thanks so much to the WONDERFUL 18 people who review and gave me feedback. Thanks also to the 840 other people who read the last chapter, to say the least WOW! I seriously wasn't expecting such a great outcome for my story.

IMPORTANT NOTE!

Yes, I will admit I spelt Wyatt's name wrong, thank you to all who pointed that out to me. It helps me to know that I spell a main characters name wrong, not always a good thing to do. There are a few people out there that would like to know who attacked the Longbottoms, and if Neville was the Boy Who Lived. My answer to the second question is no. The longbottoms where attacked by Bellatrix, most event unless said so happen like in the books. I'd like to believe Voldemort though too much of himself to go after them personally. So far there is no known 'child of the prophecy' as Voldemort hasn't marked anyone as an equal.

Next I decided that when I first posted this story that I was going to keep who Harry is paired with secret until it happens. I think it make it fun for all of us, everyone loves surprises! Just thought I should add in that most of this story is pre-planned, I know where this story is going to go so most things that I do in it does have a reason. I still would love any suggestions, I do consider them for plot.

One more quick note there will be a large time jump in this chapter, don't worry though because throughout the story you will find out bits and pieces of what happens then.

6 and a half years later

"But mom! Why do Wyatt and Chris get to go on holidays, I think we should go on holidays as well!" Harry whined to his mother, his black locks hanging over his mischievous eyes.

"I have told you already you've missed enough school already from all those 'sick days' your father has pulled for you." Lily hated it when her son got into one of these moods. Most of the time her Harry was a perfect angel but every few months he got into these moods, the result didn't end up pretty.

"That's not fair! I want to go on a vacation like my friends do! Why can't we be normal for once!" Lily sighed, rubbing her eyes in frustration. Death eater activity in England was at an all time high, it had gotten so bad that it was starting to effect other countries. James had been getting reports in from another state nearby that sound frightfully like death eater attack, this made Lily and James decided to stay under the radar until it died down a bit.

"I know you don't want to be normal Harry, you love your magic too much." Harry was getting frustrated at his mother causing him to lose what little control he had over his magic.

"You know what mom? I'm sick of hiding my magic from Chris and Wyatt. You know that in the past four weeks I have made up excused for my accidental magic getting out of control 6 times. I HATE IT!" Harry shouted getting more and more annoyed at he went on, "I HATE my magic, I HATE lying to my friends and its all your fault. I HATE YOU!"

It was at that opportune moment that James had walked into the house to find the lights flickering and most of the fixtures shaking. Following the source of the shouting into the living room where Harry stood in front of his wife, fists shaking in anger at his sides tears streaming down his face.

"... I HATE my magic, I HATE lying to my friends and its all your fault. I HATE YOU!" His wife was pale, tears ran down her face rapidly as their son finished shouting at her.

"HARRY JAMES POTTER! HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO YOUR MOTHER THAT WAY! APOLOGIZE THIS INSTANT!" James shouted, his sons face paled rapidly as he realised his father was home. Muttering an apology under his breath to his mother, Harry cringed as his father continued to speak.

"Harry your grounded for the next month," Harry opened his mouth to protest but he was cut off. "That means no dessert, no TV, and no going over to the Halliwells on weekends or after school." Harry's face regained its original colour plus a bit extra,

"You can't do that!" He shouted back.

"You can stop your shouting this instant mister and march those legs up to your room." Harry complied immediately, glaring at both his parents and stamping his feet the whole way to his bedroom before slamming his door as loud as possible.

It wasn't until an hour later when James and Lily felt the night go deathly silent that they knew something was horridly wrong. They had felt this daunting stillness only a few times before, the most recent time was right before a Death Eater attack on Diagon Alley just months before they fled.

"Lily," James whispered standing up frantically searching for his wand. "Find Harry, get out the house and..."

BANG!

The door was blown to pieces, calm footsteps could be heard coming up the hall,

"...its him, run!" James hissed pushing Lily towards the stairs.

"but..." Lily started

"GO NOW!" Lily sprinted up stairs skipping three steps at a time until she reached Harry's room. Pulling the door open the room appeared to be empty until she was Harry pop his head up from the other side of the bed,

"Mommy." He whispered, tears had been pouring down his far in fear, his eyes were still red from his previously tears.

"Shhh baby, we have to be nice and quiet." Harry nodded his head rapidly, while the rest of his body shaking in fear. Lily quietly shut the door and joined Harry on the other side of the bed, they were trapped and she knew it. Down stairs she could hear shouting followed by a heavy thud as something fell to the ground, squeezing her eyes tightly together she prayed to anyone who would listen the James wasn't hurt. The answer to her question was revealed as Harry's bedroom door was thrown open and an unfamiliar figure appeared in the door way.

The man in black robes walked in, not much could be said about his appearance for he wore his hood covering his face but both Lily and Harry could see the bright red eyes shining from underneath .

"Stand aside mudblood, It's not you I'm after tonight." He hissed. Lily stood up straight, pushing a trembling Harry behind her and out of sight.

"Please don't do this, I'm begging you please. Take me, leave Harry alone." Voldemort laughed loudly bringing shivers to the other occupants in the room.

"You had your chance foolish girl. AVADA KEDAVRA!" Harry froze in shock as his mother's body collapsed in front of him, sinking to his knees he shook her shoulder trying to wake her.

"Mummy please wake up, please please please. I'm sorry, I don't hate you mummy. I'm sorry, please mummy wake up." He sobbed, as Voldemort watched down on him with a grin on his face. A harsh laugh bought him out of his efforts to wake Lily.

"Why?" He whispered to the man who had hurt his mom, green eyes met red.

"Why not." Was the reply he got. "Sorry boy but there isn't enough time to chat, Good bye Harry Potter" He watched wide eyed as the man lifted his want towards his and hissed the words

"AVADA KEDAVRA!"

As if in slow motion a green light flew towards him, Harry clenched his eyes closed tight just as the green light made impact with his head. In a mess of blinding white light and bright green sparks the spell flew back towards the sender. The spell collided with its master exploding on impact, sending Harry flying backwards and in to a wall knocking him unconscious.

When Harry woke next he wasn't in his bedroom anymore, he was in a white room everything around him was beeping and his pillow was to crackly for his liking. A woman in a suit that he didn't recognise walked into the room, she gave him a pitying look before pulling a seat over to next to the bed and sitting down. She sat there in silence for a few minutes just watching Harry almost like she was waiting for him to say something, when she realised that he wasn't going to speak she just sighed and began to talk herself.

She started by asking how he was, if he needed anything, Harry just looked at her there was no way in hell that he was going to talk to her he decided. When she figured out he wasn't going to talk she just went straight down to business, as she talked Harry said nothing just answering anything directed at him with a nod or a shake of his head. The woman had come to tell Harry about what happened to his parents, not that he already didn't know what happened. Then went on to inform him that he would be moving to England to live with an aunt, uncle and cousin that he had never heard of before.

Everything after that happened in a blur, he was discharged from hospital the next day, whisked away by the lady in the suit to his house to gather some belongings before he had to catch his flight.

As Harry arrived back at his house he got an odd feeling in his stomach that made him feel sick, the house didn't feel like his anymore it was to quiet, to cold, to still. Making his trip inside the house as quick as possible not wanting to be inside the house his parents were murdered in, he only grabbed the essentials like the woman had told him. She had told him that his aunt and uncle would buy him anything else if he forgot something. Once his bag was filled, Harry sprinted out the house, ducking under the police barricade that was place around the house.

Dropping his bag on the sidewalk Harry continued to run until he was on the Halliwell front porch. Banging on the door, he desperately hoped that they where back from holidays. As he continues knocking on the front door, Harry felt defeat finally starting to sink in. He wasn't going to be able to say goodbye to his Best friends, to get them to help him from being taken away. It was no use, no one could help him now. A lone tear rolled down his cheek but his roughly brushed it way, as the lady in the suit (who he found out was a social worker) rushed up behind him.

"Harry don't you run off like that, you gave me quite a fright." She scolded him. Placing a hand on his shoulder she guided him towards the car. Harry gave one more longing look at Halliwell manor as he drove away and he wondered if he would ever see his friends again.

Halliwell POV

Piper sighed in relief as Leo drove up the street towards the Manor, the boys hadn't stopped bugging her since they got in the car 4 hours ago. They were exited neither boy had seen their mutual best friend in over 2 weeks and had a lot to catch up on, so said Chris. As they drove up the street closer to their house now, Piper started to feel ill, the feeling in your stomach you got when you just knew something bad had happened.

As they drove up in front of their house Piper felt Leo slam on the breaks, Pipers head shot up and what she was made her stomach become one huge knot. The Potters house, Lily and James's house was surrounded in Police barricades.

"Piper how about you get the boys to go unpack, I'll go over and find out what's happening." Pipers just nodded at her husband.

"Come on boys let's get everything inside." She managed to say, even thought her mouth had gone dry.

"But what about Harry, he's been all alone for 2 weeks." Chris whined.

"Unpack first, then we'll see." Piper all but whispered, what was talking Leo so long?

Leo jogged over to James and Lily's house, where police officers and what looked like FBI agents were walking in and out every so often. Everything looked like it should normally, the car was in the driveway, nothing was on fire, the only thing different was that there was no longer a front door. One of the police officers exited the house and was walking towards one of the squads cars when Leo intercepted him.

"Officer what's happening? Are Lily and James alright? What about Harry?" The officer sighed

"There was a break-in 4 nights ago, did you know the residents personally?" The officer had taken out a note pad

"Yeah we've next door to them for nearly eight years, our sons go to school together." The officer looked disappointed at this information

"I'm sorry to be the one to inform you but there was a double homicide four nights back. Both the Adult residents where victims." Leo felt all the blood rush from his face

"No that can't be right, are you positive it was Lily and James?" Leo panicked.

"I'm terribly sorry but Mr and Mrs Potter where not alive when the medics and police reached the crime scene." Leo's heart sped up

"But what about Harry? He's alright isn't he?"

"The child was fine apart from being unconscious when the medics arrived, he will have a couple of scratches for the next few weeks but he will be fine physically." Leo felt a tinge of relief

"Where is he? Can we see him?"

"He had been moved to a close relatives house, the location is confidential , sorry sir. Sorry again about your loss but I must be returning." Tipping his hat, the officer walked towards his car and drove away, leaving Leo frozen on the side walk.

Piper paced the kitchen nervously, Leo had been out there for a good 20 minutes and it was making the knots in her stomach tighten dramatically. As the front door of the house opened Piper bolted towards the door, sliding to a stop when she saw Leo standing there ash grey skin and unshed tears gathering in his eyes.

"Lily? James?" she managed to stutter out, Leo just look towards the floor and shook his head. Piper felt her legs collapse from underneath her, tears streaming silently down her face. Leo caught his wife before she could fully reach the ground, her whole body was shaking.

"Harry?" she choked

"Harry's fine. He's been moved to a relatives house." Piper bowed her head in mourning, her heart went out to Harry who was now an orphan and would be living with complete strangers god knows where.

Would he ever recover from this, Piper sent out a silent prayer to the Powers That Be looked after Harry Potter.
