-Chapter one - The Legend Returns-

The rich roamer off freshly made coffee hovered high in the air as twenty Professors sat huddle around the roaring fire sorting through their yearly teaching plans muttering to themselves about troublemakers aka the weasley twins return in a few short weeks, Many sat wondering who would be giving the delightful task of "welcoming" this year's many Muggleborns to Hogwarts and the wizarding world.

A blast of cold air dashed though the now open door blowing Parchment into the blazing fire, much to the Annoyance off their owners. The headmaster surveyed the chaos before him chuckling to himself as he waltzed across the threshold to his seat, Carrying a dozen sheets of folded parchment.

"Good morning Professors I hope everything is in order." Albus ignored the many angry glares being sent his way. "Now I have here, twelve new Muggleborns student's letters and I wonder who would be so kind to deliver them." He sighed heavily as his staff looked down to their remaining papers pretending they were busy. Every year the old wizard thought well not this year just pick them Albus old boy and then off to see how James and Lily are doing especially since Harry would have been starting this year, Nobody knew what had happened to Mr Potter after the Attack in 81. Some believed the boy was dead as no body was found and some believed he had simple vanished and was somewhere out there waiting to return. Regardless to what had happened the fact remained twelve letters needed to be sent with teachers.

"Sirius you will take Miss Turpin, Mr Thomas and Miss MacDougal, Alice you will take Mr Boot, Miss Brocklehurst and Miss Perks. And Minerva Take Miss Grangers, Mr Finch-Fletcher and the moon twins and Horace I have two Letters for two boys in an Orphanage in south wales Mr Evans and Mr Davies. I shall see you in a few Days as I have business to attend to at the ministry and the Potters."

At the mention of the Potters the staff's faces fall, Many remembered James and Lily's Little boy they had meet once or twice, they were all sadden to hear the news, one such professor (who shall remain nameless cough Minerva cough) broke down in tears and had to take a few weeks off to mourn the loss off little Harry who called her "Granma" much to James's and Sirius's delight.

The sombre mood finally dispersed as each person left to do what he or she had to do for the coming school year.

Meanwhile

Hundreds of miles away in the town off Caerphilly, two run away Eleven year old boys sat waiting in the gloomy custom suit of the local police station for their ride back to Miss Jones's Orphanage. Which was located in the small village off Pontnewynydd 32 miles away. Both Boys dressed in a school uniform. (Grey trousers and white shirt with a grey jumper that carried a school logo had helped the police identify the boy's home town). From police enquires the two boys had hitched a lift from a bus driver after leaving school claiming to be meeting up with their "father" at the bus station. The driver wouldn't let the boys leave intil their Father had picked them up. It seemed the kids had other ideas and tricked him into letting them go by passing an innocent man who was wondering passed off as their dad. But it was only seconds later did the driver call the police alerting them to the runaways.

"Owen your plan failed again." The black haired child moaned quietly to his fellow escapee.

"Don't start Jimmy; god is Jones going to be pissed when we get back." Owen softly whispered. "Why don't you plan next time?"

"How about the Train station next, an early morning or evening might work, when Jones is busy with the little ones." Jimmy enquired whilst scratching his head." Getting them ready for adoption"

"One day Jimmy I swear we get out of that hell-hole." The brown hair child put his arm around his "brother –in-all-but-blood" shoulders.

"I know Owen, Jones hates us seems to be scared of us remember." Jimmy giggled.

"I remember Jimmy; she started Screaming when that Fluffy Toy rabbit started to dance."

"Or when the water went red at Halloween that was awesome, I wish I knew how it happened."

"Maybe it was Magic Jimmy!" both boys bust out laughing bent over holding their stomach at such a thought.

"I am glad you boys think it funny both of you follow me." Two officers of the law stepped into the suit. "Time to go." Soon both boys found themselves herded into a police car.

Potter manor - Wales

The years had been kind for Lily Potter after Voldermort's attack and her first-born disappearance. Lily and her dopey husband James where blessed with three more children over the years, Rose Marie Potter entered the world in late 84 followed by Remus Sirius Potter in 86 then Poppy-Lily Potter not that long ago in 89. Each child brought back the joy of life taken from them but didn't not completely close the wound left by harry.

A huge bang erupted from the playroom on the first floor, Lily knew James and Little Remus was once again up to know good as poppy and Rose where currently over her father and mother house.

"James Charles Potter, Remus Sirius Potter you have five seconds to get down stairs starting NOW."

Lily stood with hands on hips as her husband and son appeared before her eyes un-injured and giggling madly. "How many times have I warned you not to mess around with you father's wand and you James should know better?"

"Lily we didn't destroy the place we …"

"Just brighten the place up mum that's all." Remus smiled at his mother knowing full well she would cave.

"I don't care both off you clean up and get dress, Albus is due to arrive soon go."

"Argh mum do we have to uncle Albus doesn't care what we look like." Her five year old son grumbled.

"Come on champ let's get ready then afterwards we go flying." James bent down picking the dust covered child up heading back upstairs.

Lily return to the drawing room filled with photos of the ever growing Potter family. Her emerald eyes dulling as they stopped on the only surviving pictures of her little clone of James, One day she hoped they would be together once again.

"Good Morning Lily, it seems so long ago now that harry was with us." Albus sadly smiled at the collection off restored photos sat proudly on the mantel piece.

"I know ten years of not knowing if he is alive or dead I just like to know. Why is it so hard to find out?"

"Albus welcome, who did you pick for the round up this time." James walked into the room stopping briefly to taking in his heir's photo.

"no-one wanted the job, so I ended up picking Horace, Sirius, Minerva and Alice. "

James had fallen to the floor laughing hard at the through of Padfoot knocking on some poor unexpected muggle's front door.

"Yes well to the point, this was to be sent out via owl….." the headmaster never managed to finish as both Lily and James cried out with relief and joy at the letter in front of them.
