xXx 2330 Zulu Time xXx

Lily Marie Potter stood protectively over the form of her nearly one and a half year old son. Harry James Potter was the culmination of everything that Lily held dear in the world, and now this madman had come into her home, and was threatening her precious child!

Well that simply would not do!

Knowing that the next few moments could very well be her last… for a while at least; Lily drew into herself the powers of all the hopes and dreams that both she and James held for Harry. With those powers circling inside of her body, she yelled out defiantly at the Dark Lord, "NOT MY SON! TAKE ME INSTEAD!"

The Dark Lord in front of her sneered at her before saying, "Since you will not step aside, as I have offered, you will instead join your husband in oblivion… AVADA KEDAVRA!"

Lily watched in mild fascination as the beam of intense green light, the same shade of green as her eyes, launched itself from the man's wand, and slammed into her body, and then she knew no more.

xXx Potter Manor xXx
xXx Glastonbury, Somerset, England xXx
xXx Unknown Time and Date xXx

With a loud shuddering gasp, the form of a redhaired woman of substantial beauty slowly came back to wakefulness and looked around at her surroundings curiously.

"Well, it seems I have arrived safely back at Potter Manor, judging by the decor…" the woman said as she got up and apprised her situation more fully. That was when she noticed that all the furniture in the room had white slipcovers over them, "Odd… I remember putting those covers on the furniture…"

The woman stood up and exited the room she had awoken in and began moving from room to room. As she did she became more and more frightened, as it seemed that all of the furniture in the entire house still had those slipcovers on them. "Harry's not here… he hasn't been here… what…?"

Finally she reached the Manor's basement and discovered that there weren't even any House Elves in residence at the Manor, which caused her to completely freak out. Despite the longstanding service this woman held to the House of Potter, she was not someone who could recall the House Elves if they had been ordered elsewhere. Only the Lord of the House of Potter could do that.

"I need to find out what the date is, and hopefully figure out if Harry is okay, and where he has been placed!" The woman declared. And with that said, she disappeared with a popping sound.

xXx Diagon Alley, London England xXx
xXx Unknown Time and Date xXx

Lily Potter, for that is who the woman was, had opted to substantially alter her appearance before even entering Diagon Alley or for that matter the Leaky Cauldron. As such she was currently wearing the appearance of an elderly woman with graying red hair. If someone looked hard enough, they would see the uncanny resemblance between the elderly form Lily was wearing, and the form she normally took. But Lily had also cast a subtle Notice-Me-Not charm on herself, hiding her presence from the random passersby.

An interesting side feature of Lily's powers, is that she could instantly access the money inside of the Potter family vault without ever having to enter Gringotts, and she can summon that money in either Muggle or Wizarding Currency forms. She literally had a blank cheque when it came to her financial situation.

Thus it was that Lily had purchased the evening edition of the Daily Prophet, and was currently sat inside of the Leaky Cauldron reading over the information held within. It was certainly an enlightening bit of information.

Lily had learned that it is currently the summer of the year 1990. A man by the name of Cornelius Oswald Fudge had very recently been installed as the new Minister for Magic. Albus Dumbledore is still the Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot it would seem. Additionally, at some point in the last nine years Lily's old friend Amelia Bones had been nominated and installed as the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

Unfortunately, there was absolutely no information that would help her in discerning the whereabouts of her son.

Sighing to herself, Lily cast a silent Muffliato charm on herself before beginning to talk to herself, "Let us see… if he were being raised by Sirius like was supposed to happen, then I wouldn't have woken up to an empty house. If that did not happen, James' will specified that in the event of our deaths, and Sirius' incapacitation that he was to be raised by either Alice or Amelia."

Lily frowned in thought as she tried to parse this information, "The wish I granted, was the combined wish of both James and myself, that Harry would live through that night and be protected from Voldemort and his minions. If it worked the way it was supposed to, then Harry would probably be quite famous due to surviving the unsurvivable."

Sighing to herself as she took a sip from her butterbeer, she frowned before continuing, "Which means he wasn't placed with a Wizarding family. That means he has likely been placed with Petunia… shite!"

xXx Five Miles from Privet Drive xXx
xXx Little Whinging, Surrey, England xXx
xXx Friday, August 10th, 1990 xXx
xXx 1030 Zulu Time xXx

Lily scowled at the great big golden dome of light over a vast section of the town known as Little Whinging, "What in the name of… that is blood magic, and it is keyed to my blood! Or more accurately, the blood of Lily Evans, my former incarnation. Crap, that means my current body can't get any closer than this."

Lily walked along the perimeter of the field scowling more and more as she did. "Not only is it blocking me from getting to Petunia's house, but it is also large enough to cover the school and grocery store in that section of the town. Well, whoever orchestrated this just made things more difficult for me."

After thoroughly investigating what she could of the Blood Magic Ward, Lily could only conclude that they were set up in such a way that they would only collapse if Harry could no longer call Petunia's house his home.

"Petunia, for your sake, I hope you have been treating my son well... Cause if I find out you haven't been, then the moment that this ward comes down, you will regret every second of it!" Lily decried to the heavens before departing Little Whinging.

xXx King's Cross Station, London xXx
xXx Sunday, September 1st, 1991 xXx
xXx 1030 Zulu Time xXx

It had taken ages for Lily to come to the decision to simply wait and observe the situation surrounding her son, rather than absconding with him at the first opportunity which presented itself to her.

In the year since she had woken up in this world, Lily had conclusively verified that Harry was in fact living in Little Whinging thanks to being able to see him occasionally while she was observing the Ward Line in the town. Further, she had been completely horrified by the state of the boy, and by the treatment that Harry received from his whale of a cousin and the gang that followed Dudley.

To make matters worse, she had occasionally seen Vernon Dursley manhandling her son. Fortunately for Petunia, at the moment at least, she had not seen any mistreatment from her surrogate sister. That by no means meant there hadn't been any mistreatment from Petunia, just that it wasn't visible from outside the house.

As it was, Lily had been a silent and distant observer for Harry's entire first foray into the Wizarding World courtesy of Rubeus Hagrid. Lily had not been happy when Hagrid took Harry into the Bank, but seemingly did not know that Vault Keeper Ragnok was waiting to meet with Harry, instead opting to take her son to meet with a completely random Goblin.

Lily was currently standing about twenty feet away from her highly confused son. She was disguised in the same manner as she usually was when in the Wizarding World, an elderly redhead. Lily was just about to go and help him get onto the platform when both Harry and Lily heard a really loud voice calling out a complaint about the station being packed with Muggles.

When the woman who was speaking came into view Lily was forced to roll her eyes at what she was seeing, 'Leave it to Molly Weasley to have more kids than sense.'

Lily stood back and watched as Molly helped Harry onto the platform, and then followed him through with the last of her children.

Lily frowned for a moment in thought. There was something deeply unsettling about what had just happened, but Lily couldn't quite put her finger on just what it was as of yet.

xXx Three Broomsticks, Hogsmeade xXx
xXx Saturday, June 6th, 1992 xXx
xXx 1230 Zulu Time xXx

Lily had made it a point to be in Hogsmeade during each and every Hogsmeade Weekend. As such she found herself in the Three Broomsticks having lunch when she overheard something that startled her quite a bit.

"Yeah that's right, Potter's in the Hospital Wing due to suffering some bizarre bout of magical exhaustion."

Sighing as she looked at her plate, Lily stood up and decided her lunch was done. Going over to the Floo she took some powder and called out "Madam Pomfrey's Office, Hogwarts."

Now normally a person needs to ask permission from the person whose Floo they are traveling to, so that permission wards can be lowered. However, Lily's nature allowed her to ignore those types of wards if her business concerns her Master. In fact, just about the only types of wards that could impede her are Blood Wards and the Fidelius Charm. With that in mind, Lily traversed the green flames of the Floo to her destination.

xXx Madam Pomfrey's Office, Hogwarts xXx
xXx Mere Moments Later xXx

Poppy Pomfrey looked up at the uninvited guest into her sanctum, and when she saw the familiar lines and angles on a face that was much to old to bear those features, she sighed saying "I was wondering when you were going to show up again."

Lily mock glared at the Healer as she asked, "Do you happen to know who put those damn Blood Wards around my surrogate sisters home?"

Poppy frowned momentarily in thought before shrugging and saying "Easy money is on it being the Headmaster, but I can't be certain."

"I see. Well tell me what happened," Lily asked as she sat in the easy chair opposite the desk.

"It would seem that your son is a magnet for trouble, Lily," Poppy stated.

"That seems to be par for the course as far as Potter's are concerned. It is kind of why I was bound to their House in the first place," Lily admitted.

"Be that as it may, your son had to fight off a rogue teacher who was after Mister Flamel's stone. I don't know what you did to Harry on October 31st, 1981, but whatever it was it is damn powerful. It also has the nack of draining massive amounts of magic from Harry while it is doing whatever it is that it is doing," Poppy analyzed the situation for Lily.

"I see. I probably should have expected such a side effect happening. Out of curiosity, was the rogue teacher in question a Death Eater?" Lily asked.

"Unknown, there wasn't very much left of the man to help in identifying him. Albus seems to think that the man was possessed by the spirit of the former Dark Lord," Poppy explained.

"Well, that is probably to be expected considering what I know of the Headmaster. Poppy, what can you tell me about my son?" Lily asked.

Poppy smiled at her friend, "He looks like James, has your eyes, however his personality is very much like your own when you were younger, or at least presenting the image of being younger."

"What house is he in? Who are his friends? Anything, anything at all." Lily questioned.

"Why don't you talk to him yourself?" Poppy asked.

Lily frowned, "It isn't the right moment for that discussion yet, I don't think. You know the rules of my binding to the House of Potter, it would force me to be intimate with Harry now that he is the new Head of the House. I don't think he is old enough to appreciate that just yet, so I can't approach him until he is."

Poppy groaned as she recalled that piece of information, "Right, I had forgotten all about that aspect of your binding. Well… let us see then. He is friends with the youngest son of the Weasley family and a Muggleborn girl by the name of Hermione Granger. He was, much like you and James, sorted into Gryffindor House. He is also the youngest Seeker Hogwarts has seen in at least a century. And he is developing a habit of being discovered doing things that no child that young should ever be expected to do…"

"What do you mean?" Lily asked.

"Well, aside from the aforementioned rogue teacher, he also was one of the two students responsible for taking down a fully grown Mountain Troll on Halloween. The other student being Ron Weasley, the aforementioned Weasley child. He and his two friends navigated a set of traps that the Headmaster asked the Hogwarts faculty to provide in an effort to find and protect the Philosopher's Stone. Lord knows what will happen next year." Poppy explained.

Lily sighed, this was shaping up to be exactly like what she had to deal with back when the Head of House Potter (though it wasn't called that at the time) asked her to look after his niece back in around the year 600 Common Era… what was that girl's name? Oh yes, Artoria. That had been a nightmare.

"Very well, and what is his prognosis?" Lily asked.

"Oh, he woke up about two hours ago. I expect that there is currently a party going on in the Gryffindor Common Room celebrating his recovery," Poppy stated.

"Thank you Poppy, that sets my mind at ease. I will take my leave. Please do not tell anyone I am back, especially the Headmaster." Lily said as she stood up.

"I will make sure to keep you informed on his continued health, Lily, since you are his proper Guardian and not the Headmaster, as he likes to believe himself," Poppy said.

"Again, thank you," Lily said as she exited the room via the Floo.

xXx Same Location xXx
xXx Saturday, May 29th, 1993 xXx
xXx 0600 Zulu Time xXx

Poppy Pomfrey had summoned Lily to her office when it was discovered that in addition to young Ginevra Weasley, both Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley had also gone missing, on top of the fraud Lockhart.

"Okay, so let me get this straight… some moron opened the Chamber of Secrets, unleashed Nessa against the Muggleborn, kidnapped the Weasley girl, who Harry and Ron appear to have gone off to rescue?" Lily asked the tired and stressed out Healer.

As she was listing things off, the door to the office opened and a tall, lithe blonde woman entered the room, causing both women to turn and look at her.

"Well… if this isn't a sight for sore eyes. You could have told me you were back, Lils," The woman said stiffly.

Lily smirked at her friend as she beheld her, "Hello Cissa. I would have of course, except finding you when you aren't attached to Lucius by the hip is rather difficult."

"Of course, of course. Lucius is in the Castle right now. Oh, by the way, the missing students have been found. Lucius is trying to figure out why the Headmaster is back in the Castle after my husband fired him. Seems obvious to me," Narcissa Malfoy stated with a wry grin.

As she was talking, both Narcissa and Poppy watched as Lily's head swivelled to gaze in the direction of the Headmaster's office.

"Lils, what is it?" Narcissa asked.

"Cissa, just a mild curiosity, but did you ever develop affection for Lucius in all the years that you have been married to him?" Lily asked.

Narcissa cocked an eyebrow before saying, "Hardly. I haven't had sex in the last twelve years. Lucius' only concern was siring an heir. After that he refused to touch me, but ordered me not to find satisfaction elsewhere."

"What if I told you that between the actions of your son and Lucius, you were no longer married to Lucius?" Lily asked.

"What do you mean?" Narcissa asked.

"Well, as you know, my bond automatically updates me as to changes in the titles of nobility that my Master possesses, and the reasons for those changes. As it turns out, Harry was just named Lord Malfoy…" Lily stated.

"WHAT? HOW?" Narcissa asked sharply. All three women knew that Narcissa's marriage contract was designed in such a way that she was married not to Lucius, but to the current Lord Malfoy, unless that Lord was her own biological son.

"It would seem that in Harry's first year, your son challenged Harry to a Wizards Duel. Harry showed up at the appointed time and location, Draco did not. Harry's defeat of whatever was in the Chamber of Secrets counts as another victory against the House of Malfoy… and curiously also ones against the Houses of Slytherin and Gaunt, because it was Lucius who was directly responsible for the Chamber of Secrets being opened this year. Then there was the attempt on Harry's life by Lucius, that was negated by Harry's new House Elf, who is apparently also a former Malfoy House Elf," Lily explained.

"Your son defeated Lucius or Draco, a total of three times…" Narcissa said stupidly.

"Right of Conquest," Poppy said in awe.

"Yes… so Cissa, I think you should move into Potter Manor with me. I also think we will be having Dobby move you so as to not risk your safety," Lily concluded.

Narcissa nodded, "Yes, I think I would agree with that arrangement. Though I am curious, does this mean we aren't bringing Harry with us?"

"I am afraid that will be somewhat difficult for the moment. The Old Goat has a rather magnificent ward scheme set up that can block even me on the place where Harry is residing. And absconding with Harry from the Platform, Hogsmeade or the School will cause any number of problems. So for the moment we are left as is."

Narcissa considered this information for a moment, "Lily, can't you disguise us as Hogwarts age people?"

Lily blinked at this question before her eyes grew really, really big. "Yes… yes I can, but I am afraid I would need to turn you into a Half-Genie in order to pull it off."

"Do it," Narcissa stated.

"You should wait until the next School Year. I will arrange it so you are both considered transfers to Harry's year, instead of needing to be First Years. In the mean time, try and find a way to approach Harry without raising any red flags," Poppy stated.

xXx The Leaky Cauldron, London xXx
xXx Sunday, August 8th, 1993 xXx
xXx 0700 Zulu Time xXx

Lily Potter and Narcissa Malfoy were currently sitting in the main dining hall of the Leaky Cauldron. About a week before Lily had taken Narcissa through the process that would convert her into a Half-Genie, much like Harry was. Instead of the Thirty-Three year old woman that Narcissa used to be, there now stood a stunningly beautiful twenty-five year old. Her age would further decrease when Lily initiated the process that would turn them into Thirteen Year olds.

However, Lily had insisted on them appearing in their true forms to Harry prior to the School Year. Dobby had of course been exceedingly helpful, as they discovered that he could pass through the wards on Privet Drive with little trouble. Thus they were able to learn that Harry was now staying at the Leaky Cauldron due to an accident that occurred with Vernon's sister last night.

Narcissa had the Daily Prophet open in front of her, and idly commented to Lily, "Looks like Sirius escaped from Azkaban. Ministry reckons he is after Harry."

Lily snorted, "I go AWOL for a few years and look how screwed up the world becomes. I haven't seen this big a clusterfuck in a good long time. I swear Dumbledore reminds me of Merlin in terms of how much he meddles."

Just then a raven haired young man came down the stairs, which were positioned directly opposite from where Lily was seated. As soon as she came into his view it seemed as if his world had completely stopped turning, "Mum?"
