A/N: All author's notes are going to be in bold. I am new to FanFiction writing, so I don't know how to do much yet. This is my first story, so any suggestions will be helpful! This story is pro Harry/Hermione and there is a lot of Dumbledore bashing. No flames! Now, enough of my rambling. ONWARD TO THE STORY! (The first chapter is in 3rd person.)

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or any of the characters in this story.

It was a cold, October night. To be specific, Halloween. All was peaceful in Godric's Hallow (unless you count kids knocking on doors asking for candy clamorous). The Potter household was filled with excitement, even though they couldn't leave the house. If they left, the Fidelius Charm would not protect the Potters. James and Lily Potter were busy entertaining their only son, Harry, with colorful bubbles shooting out of their wands onto his face. No matter how much he giggled, it brought a smile to their faces. While James did this, Lily strolled into the kitchen to fix up a nice bowl of vegetable stew for James whilst humming the tune to "A Cauldron Full of Hot, Strong Love". She was getting pots from the cupboard, when she heard James yell, "LILY! It's him! He is here right now! Run to the attic, I have Harry!" The pot clattered on the floor as Lily bolted up to the attic. She practically flew up the rugged old wooden ladder. She lit her wand and found James and Harry in the corner.
"Lily! We need to apparate out of here to somewhere far away! Grab my arm!" James whispered rapidly. She began to reach for James' arm when Voldemort burst into the dark, damp attic.

"AVADA KEDAVERA!" Voldemort yelled as Lily jumped for James's arm. She grabbed it just in time to avoid the incoming killing curse. She had a tugging sensation in her gut as her whole world spun around. The three Potters landed on the ground with a thud. Harry began to cry, so Lily cast a sleeping charm on him.

"Wh…Where are we?" Lily questioned a little queasily as she rose to her feet. She never really liked apparition.

"The doorsteps of Number 4 Privet Drive. The home of your sister." James explained, as he regained his balance.
Lily frowned, "She doesn't want anything to do with us. She thinks we are 'freaks'."

James thought about that for a second. Why would Petunia want anything to do with her "freak" of a sister? "I guess it's the first thing I thought of. I think we should just apparate to Hogsmeade and take a hike up to Hogwarts. We will inform Dumbledore that Pettigrew betrayed us. I never would have thought…" James sobbed.

"It's ok, James. We'll make sure that so-called friend of ours won't be helping You-Know-Who anymore." Lily comforted him by rubbing his back. "Come on; let's take Harry to Hogwarts so he can get a good night's sleep." Lily took James' arm. James smiled as the couple disappeared into the darkness.
Harry was still asleep in his mother's arms when they appeared in Hogsmeade.
