It was common knowledge that even in the Wizarding World, coming back from the dead was unheard of. However, when it comes to the Potters, people have learned to expect the unexpected. The threat of Voldemort continued to loom over Great Britain, despite the Ministry's insistence that it was all false, an ingenious plan by Dumbledore to take over as Minister of Magic. From finally being able to get to know his parents, being hated by most of the Wizarding World and developing powers he didn't know he was capable of, Harry's fifth year at Hogwarts was bound to be his most perplexing one yet. (Note: the original version of this was written several years ago when I was much younger, so I am currently in the process of editing the existing chapters before I try to finish it! Thanks for reading! x)

James and Lily didn't die. They went to an all adults gathering when Voldemort attacked. Dumbledore took Harry away from them after he defeated Voldemort and told the couple that their son perished with the Dark Lord and Harry was left with the Dursleys, growing up knowing that his parents died in a car crash. What will happen when he gets his Hogwarts letter? Will fate try and reunite this broken family? Or will Dumbledore try and break them up for 'the greater good'?
