Note: I am typing this to give some information before I make this story. It is a crossover between shameless and Harry Potter. I wrote this after being inspired by snitches get stitches on AO3. Credits to the creators of the fandoms shameless and Harry Potter. I also give credit to the author of the fanfic for giving me inspiration in their writing. Alright, let's begin. Also I have not finished season 1 yet so expect for non-canon story as I will most likely not follow the story as closely.

The Gallagher house was not exactly pretty, in fact many might call it a disaster, just like the family living there. However, the front porch and the family will become something important, a place where the beginnings of chaos might begin.

It was late night on day of July 31, 1998 in the village of Godric hallows. It was a quiet place, save for the frantic worrying of a man named James Potter. He was in a state of panic as he held a hand mirror in his hand, seemingly waiting for something. He ran his hand threw his thick black hair as he heard the sound of someone knocking on the door.

He quickly opened and found his good friend Sirius Black standing outside in his rugged looking outfit. His hair was curly, his face sporting what may look like stubble. His hands were somewhat calloused and his eyes had lines under them. "It's good to see you my friend" said Sirius as he hugged James.

James smiled as he hugged him, and they stood there for a while until James wife gave a short cough which startled them. "So should I leave so you guys can have your moment?" Asked Lily. Her eyes were filled with spirit and vitality. Of course, her spirit was only filled with joy and it did it take a genius to figure out. Her stomach are was swollen, a sign that showed she was with child.

Her husband James was also filled with joyful spirit and his friend was as well. "No Lily, was just hugging Sirius" said James as he finally let go of Sirius. "How are you Lily?" asked Sirius as he was rummaging through their fridge for a drink, with the others not protesting as it was a normal occurrence when he visited.

"I am fine Sirius" said Lily as she walked over and sat on the couch. She was tired and when she sat down she felt contractions beginning to happen as she bent over. "Oh my god!" said Lily as she was bent over in pain. James rushed to her side and began speaking with his wife. "You okay honey?" James asked in concern.

"No, I think it's time thought" said Lily as the pain she felt increased in frequency. "Okay honey, Sirius come on we gotta go to St.Mungos" said James as he hurriedly prepared the fire and began grabbing a fist full of floo powder. James and the rest entered the fire place and said "St.Mungos delivery ward!".

Saint Mungos, delivery ward

Screams could be heard echoing down in the long hallways of the delivery ward. Of course following it was a feminine voice shouting many uncouth phrases like "Fuck you James!" And "Get this shit outta me!" were among the words said. Of course, the nurses were not phased by the vulgar words said and began re-administrating the nerve blocker in the spine using an old hypodermic string and used a potion labeled 'nerve blocker'.

James was kind of anxious at what the potions could do to his wife and his child but eventually receded his complaints. His thoughts were that they knew what they were doing and he should leave them alone. James job was trying to calm down his wife, though the task was immense considering her magic was somewhat lashing out due to her pain.

"It will be alright honey, you can get through it" said James as he began giving her a kiss as one of the nurses, Adromeda Tonks who was Sirius sister, said "PUSH Ms.Potter". It was a command to get it started as the long process began. Lily asked why they could not just use magic to get her child out, but Adromeda gave a logical reply. "Considering that it could potentially vanish your organ or accidentally hurt the baby, no magic will be used" said Adromeda as they continued the process. It was eight hours on the mark when Lily suddenly felt relief.

In Andromeda's arms was a boy, swaddled in red cloth after being cleaned by the nurses. "It's a boy" said Andromeda as she gave the baby to Lily. Lily looked at her little boy, cooing at how cute he was. "He has your eyes" said James. "But he has your hair" said Lily. She gave the baby off to James, his eyes filled with tears streaming down his face.

"I'm a dad" James muttered under his breath. He never thought he would become a dad, nor did he ever think he might have the right to have a son. James thought back to his days in school, a boy with hair as black as his, and a face paler than most. James always regretted what he did to Snape. He always wanted to apologize after he matured and learned where he gone wrong. He decided he wanted to be the best dad ever to make up for what he did and to apologize to Snape, so he can make amends.

"What are you thinking about James?" asks Lily as she was staring at the father and son. "I was thinking of how I do not deserve this child" said James to his most trusted confidant. "Why would you think that?" asked Lily, her eyes widening at James declaration. "Cause of what I did to people, to Snape and the others who did not deserve the abuse I gave them" said James on the verge of another stream of tears. "James we all make mistakes and we can always fix them. While your mistakes are immense, I am sure we can fix them together" said Lily with all the conviction in the world.

"I hope so honey, I hope so" said James. "Well did you have a name in mind?" asked James as he handed the baby off to his wife. "Well I was thinking, naming him after my uncle who died in WW2, Harry" said Lily as she cradled her baby, reminiscing about the stories her mother would tell her about her uncle. A cadet braver than many, more disciplined than even his friends in high-school, and smarter and kind then many.

"I think it is a great name" said James. They were happy until Sirius burst in to the delivery room, his face grim and daunting. "I just received a message from Dumbledore, a prophecy was given" said Sirius in a tone far more serious than he ever did. "Well what is it?!" asked Lily, her voice frantic and filled with dread at what she thought the prophecy might be about. "The prophecy is apparently about a boy born tonight that could potentially end him, and Dumbledore think you guys might be the prophecies target" said Sirius as he sat down, his hands covering his face. Lily and James faces fell into despair, with Andromedas happy face began to crack, letting the despair of the news entering.

"But that seems strange don't you think? A prophecy usually is given years in advanced" said Andromeda. Lily, hearing this piece of news, began to purse her lips into thinking mode. 'It is strange, why would a prophecy like that appear now? Could it be a ploy by Voldemort or by...' thought Lily to herself, her thoughts thinking up answers that she did not want to be true. "James what are we gonna due?!" asked Lily in a frantic manner, clutching Harry closer to her chest, as though she might lose him this second. James himself seem deep in thought. "You think it could be about the Long-bottoms?" asked James as Alice's son was also stated to be born today.

"I do not know James but we should warn them just in case" said Lily as James dig out a pocket sized mirror and said the name of Frank long bottom. "Hey guys!" Said a very overjoyed Frank, holding a baby boy in his arms. "Hey frank, how's the wife?" asked James. "She is a lot better now that she finally gave birth and is finally relaxed" said Frank, wiping of his head with a cloth. James also knew that he probably went through the same crap he did.

"Well Frank, me and Lily, have some bad news to tell you" said James as his tone became grave. "What is it James?" asked Frank, his tone becoming grave as well. "A prophecy was made about a boy being born in this fate that could end 'his' reign and that may mean he is wither gonna attack us or you" said James as stated at his wife. "Okay, I will inform my wife and family that we need to get to safety" said Frank as he cut off the call.

"What are we gonna do Lily?" asked James as he begun to pace about the room. "Well we could go into hiding, you know ask Dumbledore for help" suggested Lily. "I don't think it will help, what is we had a traitor?! You seen how they predicted where we would be many times" said James frantically. His body was beginning to stress sweat, his teeth gnawing on his nails.

"Well I have a friend in Chicago" said Lily. "A friend?" asked James. "Well I knew her from elementary school and there was also Frank her husband I believe" said Lily. "Will that be a good option?" asked James. "I do not know but if we can get everything he needs and send him to be raised in total secrecy, away from this place, he could be safe" said Lily her eyes now stricken with tears.

She did not like the idea of her giving up her son like her husband, but if it was to keep him safe then it was necessary. So they agreed on a plan and began to set it in motion. First they gathered school supplies, a guide to wand-less magic if Harry could not get a wand, a contact page about US wizarding schools, and their vault keys. They also got their will in place and began to refine and edit it and then resealed it with the goblins. Then under the cover of the night and muggles, they headed towards south side, Chicago.

When they arrived at the address Monica mailed to her as she asked if she could take in Harry they looked and thought it was dirty but not bad. No grimmauld place though. They left Harry on that doorstep and then left.

It was only two months later that James and Lily potter died fighting Voldemort, who suddenly disappeared that night. But Harry was nowhere to be found by the wizards, their fabled son seemingly hidden between the cracks. However, Harry was far away, living a life that many would consider vulgar, a life that started on the Gallagher front porch.
