New story! This story focuses on the life that Harry never had the chance to know. This is AU and I have no idea where this idea even came from. I just wish I could post it all here for you today, but alas I have things that keep me pretty busy through the day. Anyway I hope you enjoy!

A man of about twenty years old sits next to his wife in the hospital. She is sleeping peacefully after giving birth to their first born son Harry. The man was holding the baby when a knock came at the door. "Come in," the man said and an older woman walked in.

"Mr. Potter," the woman said. "Sirius Black and Albus Dumbledore are here to see you."

"Thank you, Nurse Bones," Mr. Potter replied. "And please call me James. You've known me for years."

"Right, I will tell them you will be out in a few minutes," Nurse Bones said and walked out the door.

"Lils," James said nudging his sleeping wife's shoulder. "Lily, wake up, my love."

Lily yawned as she opened her eyes and said, "What is it James?"

"Can you take Harry? Dumbledore and Padfoot are here and they want to see me," James replied.

"Sure, but you will tell me everything when you get back in here," Lily demanded. "I may have just given birth, but I am still a member of the Order and I deserve to know."

"As you should, my dear," a voice came from the doorway. "James, if you would please follow me there is a meeting to be held."

"What about Lily and Harry?" James asked.

"Molly and Marlene will be here to keep watch," the man said.

"Alright," James agreed then kissed Lily on the lips and kissed Harry on the forehead before following the man out the door. "Where is Sirius?"

"Bloody hell, Prongs took you long enough," a man said from a bench behind a newspaper.

"Padfoot, why are you reading a muggle newspaper?" James asked Sirius.

"I just love reading these comic strips," Sirius replied. "Now, Dumbledore let's head off."

"Wait, I'm not leaving until Alice and Molly are here," James said.

"Then wait no longer," a ginger haired woman said walking around the corner along with a woman with long blonde hair. "James, Lily and Harry will be safe with us here, you go to the meeting."

"Thank you so much Molly," James said. "Marlene, it's good to see you."

"You too James," Marlene said. "Now, off you three go the rest of the Order is waiting for you."

With that the three men walked out of the hospital. "Now, let's just all grab a hold of this feather and we will be taken right to headquarters," Dumbledore said as James and Sirius both grabbed a hold of the feather they disappeared from the spot and ended up in front of an old house.

"Sirius, Grimmauld Place looks a bit more grim than normal," James said.

"I know, it's just rubbish," Sirius replied. "Dumbledore said we should make it look as if no one has lived there since Mother died. That way the Death Eaters don't come snooping."

"And I was right," Dumbledore said. "Let's get inside."

The three men walked into the front door and were met with wands in their faces, "What was the focus of our last meeting?"

"The prophecy," Dumbledore replied and the wands lowered. "Very good defense Alastor, now let's get this meeting started so that young James can go back to his family."

"Follow me," Alastor said. "Remus, send a message to Molly. Tell her that they arrived safely."

"Right," said the man to his right as he walked into the first room on the right of the hall.

The men walked into the dining room at the end of the hall and were met with silence. "Everyone be seated," Dumbledore said and waited until everyone was seated and Remus had joined them. "Let this meeting of the Order of the Phoenix officially begin. Alastor you have the floor."

"Right," Alastor said. "The Ministry has been infiltrated by Death Eaters. The Aurors are running interference as are all the Minister workers who are members of the Order or are just against the Death Eaters. We have been successful in figuring out what they are looking for and have blocked their attempts at gaining it."

"And what is it they are going after?" James asked.

"The Prophecy," Alastor replied. "We believe he may know some of it, but not the whole thing and he wants to know it all. As we meet as the seventh month dies there have been two children born. One to the Longbottoms and one to the Potters, I propose that they and their families go into hiding."

"Very well," Dumbledore said. "All in favor for the Potter Family and the Longbottom Family go into hiding."

All hands were raised except for James and Frank Longbottom. "The motion carries. This meeting is adjourned. Frank and James stay after I wish to speak to you both."

After everyone had left, just James, Frank, and Dumbledore remained. "Now, I understand why neither of you want to go into hiding, but it must be done. We must not let Tom get either of the boys. Now I suggest the Fidelius Charm and that once you pick your secret keepers that they also go into hiding."

"Very well Dumbledore," James said. "Even though Lily will probably yell at me and then you and probably even Sirius, I can't say no as long as it keeps my family safe."

"Alice will throw a fit, but I think it is for the best," Frank said. "I know my mum will throw an even bigger fit so I better tell her last."

"Then you two better be off to St. Mungo's," Dumbledore said pulling out a paperweight from his cloak. "This will take you to the lobby. Get them out as soon as possible and to somewhere safe."

The two nodded and then disappeared from the room. When they arrived at the hospital they both went their separate ways to their wives. James arrived at Lilies room and was greeted by Molly.

"How did the meeting go dear?" Molly asked.

"We are going into hiding as well as the Longbottoms," James replied. "Arthur probably has more information for you. And I suggest you get home as we are getting out as soon as possible."

"Then I will see you at hopefully a safer time," Molly said as she hugged James and walked away.

James took a deep breath and walked into the hospital room. Lily was sitting up holding a sleeping Harry and just glared at James as he walked over to sit down. "How much did you hear?" James asked.

"All of it," Lily replied and James grimaced at the glare he was receiving. "I may not like it, but I believe we have to do it. James, how are we going to hide?"

"I thought about the old cottage my parents have in Godric's Hollow that they wanted to give to us as a wedding present. Then we use the Fidelius Charm and pick a secret keeper," James replied.

"Who would that be?" Lily asked.

"I'd say Sirius or Remus," James replied.

"What about Peter?" Lily asked.

"I don't know," James responded. "He was a good friend in school, but he just doesn't act like he is trustworthy anymore. He's always the last one to arrive for the meetings and the first to leave. He never even talks to us anymore."

"Maybe he is just overwhelmed by something," Lily suggested. "You know how he used to be during exams in school."

"Yeah, but something is different about him. Sirius said that he's been seen in Knockturn Alley a lot recently. I don't want to say he's spying, but he's acting very strange. We were going to confront him about it soon, but now that we have to go into hiding we just don't have the time," James explained. "I wish I trusted him enough for this, but right now I just don't anymore."

"Okay, then go with your gut," Lily said just as a doctor came in.

"Mrs. Potter, I need to give you a few potions and then you can leave," the doctor said as she handed Lily three phials of potions. "The green one is for the tenderness, the blue is for the pain of the first one, and the purple one is to help start the healing. You will need to take a purple one every day for one month. After you run out you will be able to resume love making. Any questions, from either of you?"

"I think we are all good," James replied.

"Then you are free to go," the doctor said as she walked out the door.
