Once again I know nothing of  the first seven chapter NOT the five that I said in the first chapter sorry so from chapter eight onwards it is all my ideas. I am thinking of a Logan/Harry/Remy LeBeau pairing but tell me what you think in the comments below. As always constructive criticism is welcome but no complete flaming please and thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy it

James Potter pov
It had been a month since the baby now named Harry arrived home from hospital; James Potter was ever the proud father of the child and Lily Potter nee Evans, the loving mother, this night after the family friends the "Marauders," left Harry started to cry. His cries became screams as his body began to glow and power just radiated off of him, he floated in the air a shield appeared around him and his parent couldn't reach him. James tried to call for help to call their old Headmaster, Dumbledore but the power the child emitted negated floo access, and it was like anti apparition wards were placed on the house, James tried to leave to find help but the doors wouldn't open, Harry screamed a deep painful screams that one would have not thought a month old be could make, but it was there. Then a bright light appeared in the room, a woman who looked remarkably like Lily but with some slight differences came and she smiled gently at the child and held him to her naked form.

The woman then waved her hand over the child and the glow faded and the child smiled before falling into an exhausted sleep. "Sleep well our child." The Woman said.

James and Lily both had their wands out aimed at the woman, but didn't dare fire as she held their son.

"Who are you, what did you do to our son!" James demanded.

The woman waved her hand and both their wands flew to her opened hand.

"I am the Phoenix." She said softly so as to not disturb their child but there was a force to it that inspired fear in them.

"Phoenix? Like Fawkes?" Said James thought, he know this woman was nothing like the phoenix he had seen sitting in Dumbledore's office.

She tilted her head curiously, "Fawkes?" she said. Instantly there was a burst of flame and a beautiful red and gold bird that looked remarkably like her true form appeared. The bird trilled and sang its song, calming James and Lily, while the Phoenix stood understand the song of praise the bird sang to her. It spoke her language from long ago.

She spoke, "So I take it you are Fawkes?" The bird nodded and spoke in Phoeni, *Yes great lady, my kind modeled ourselves after you millions of years ago, we watched and saw your greatness and decided to do homage to you by taking your form. In our old form we were pure light that most couldn't look upon so it was decided to take a form, and though you are above good and evil, we understood your power and position and held you in great esteem.*

*So you just took my form without so much as a by your leave? How rude.* She stated in Phoeni. James and Lily were shocked this mysterious would could speak Phoenix no one could speak their language, who is she.

*You and your kind are very lucky that I have spent some time recently as human have learned the virtues of good and the delights of evil. Though I will still not choose either, I recognize the need for your kind.*

*Thank you My Lady. I am ever at your service.* The bird said humbly and bowing its head.

The lady turned to James and Lily. "It seems that Fawkes and his kind have modeled themselves after my true form a few million years back. I must say that if I was more human I would be flattered. Still we must get to business." She placed Harry in his crib, and told Fawkes to watch over him. The bird eagerly agreed.

"Who are you, what are you, and what do you want with our son?" Ask Lily more than a little scared but still ready to defend her son with her life if need be. James nodded beside his wife.

"Our son? That is absolutely correct. Harry is OUR son, all three of us." She held a hand to quiet them. "I came to you about six months ago, you were asleep, and the child within you Lily was dead. I'm sorry. Nothing would have saved it. Well, I could, but I needed a child as well, so I saved your child, by making him my child as well. Biologically speaking if one of your wizarding tests were done the parents would be listed as Father: James Potter, Mother: Lily Potter nee Evans and Mother: The Phoenix. You can have it done after I leave. As I know that you do not know that I do not lie, well, maybe once and for months, but aside from that no, I don't. (Referring to her time as Jean Grey)

Anyway in saving the child, it became mine as well, and will at sometime in the future be a power equal to my own." Fawkes gave a shocked squat and fell over at that in a dead faint. Phoenix looked at him raised a delicate eyebrow and laughed, then she waved her hand and the bird awakened then resumed its post on Harry's crib.

"A power to equal to yours?" James said.

"I am the Phoenix! I am the universe's embodiment of the impulse to create or destroy. I have the power to tap into the very power of the universe I could destroy this solar system on a whim in my true, form but in this form I am very restricted and my power is a less than a tenth of what it should be. Still that is many times more powerful than any being or group of beings on this world. I have the ability to warp reality itself." With that the room was no longer a room but a field of poppies and off in the distance you could see an Emerald City. Under their feet there was a yellow brick road leading to the city.

"It's an illusion, we're wizards we could create this illusion too." Said James holding desperately to any semblance of normalcy.

"James it is no illusion. Touch the flowers smell them they are real, do you not feel the road under your feet, and if you were to talk the distance to the city you would run into the gatekeeper and upon entrance meet the people of Emerald City, or go back on this road and wind up in Munchskin land. This is no illusion, I created this dimension and I can uncreate. It is mine to do with as I please, as I said reality is what I desire it to be."

Lily looked at the flowers they did indeed feel like poppies and the smell was spot on as well, she touched the brick it felt real too. She then stood and said, "Finite Incantatum Maxius!" Nothing happened nothing change or even winked. Never had a spell so strong that there wasn't some sign of her finite spell trying to work, but the spell did nothing, then she created a bouquet of roses, to test that her magic still worked and it did. She did the finite spell on her and James but still everything remained the same, her finite spell would show at least some strain on the environment even if Dumbledore or Voldemort did this magic though it wouldn't change anything of the environment. This had to be real there was no other possible explanation.

"It's real James, it's all real." The Lily turned to Phoenix. "What does this mean for my...our son?" She asked.

"It means that Harry will one day join me out in space, he will find his place in the universe, together he and I will walk along the corridors of eternity." Phoenix said. "Understand that I am immortal and have NEVER had the need to have a child before, I am literally as old as the universe, only the great Galactus is older than I, and that is only because he is from the universe that existed before this one. Harry will walk freely among those you would call gods as one of them, but are greater than your concept of God is. I believe that Harry will have a great destiny, never have I felt the need for a child and yet I have, I think the universe had a need for Harry and so I am his mother."

Suddenly they were back in the nursery and Harry still slept, and Fawkes continued to watch his charge.

"Are... are you going to take him away? Will we never see him again? Please don't take my child!" Lily cried as James held her his face holding the same grief as his wife's.

"I am not taking Harry now, and not for some years to come. Harry is half human and so must grow as a human does, I have restricted his cosmic powers to that that would be acceptable on earth, though if threatened he may exceed it for a time, before the restriction kicks back in. What he needs now is what you have to offer, a good loving home. He is still your child as much as he is mine. He will need to grow for some years maybe when he is seventeen or older he will be ready to learn the wonders of the universe and find his place, but for now, he just a baby that will become like any other boy, until he is ready to handle his abilities and find his place and function. As I have said that is some years in the future, and even if he left with me, I think our boy will always come back to visit you. He will always be half human."

James and Lily gave a sigh of relief. "Lily can you imagine what Dumbledore will think of all this, I bet this is ' The power the dark lord knows not.'" Said a grinning James.

"Of what do you speak?" Phoenix inquired.

"There was a prophecy made that said that a child born the time that Harry was would be the one to destroy the dark lord, and that he would have a power the Dark Lord knew not. I think this is it." James said.

"You better hope not, Harry will have the power of a cosmic being, participating in your war could cause him to reach his potential before he can handle it, and he could accidentally destroy your world. He will survive that of course but your people would be gone FOREVER. Don't get me wrong, Harry is not some time bomb waiting to blow if anything goes wrong in his life, HOWEVER the stress of watching people he love die, being responsible for the death of a powerful evil being, could cause him to call on more power than ever, and if it came too quickly before he can control it, it will end your world, your star and your solar system. Better he should not be in that sort of situation, don't you think?"

"But the prophecy has already been made, the dark lord already knows and is coming after us there only two children born the day Harry was, the other is boy named Neville, Voldemort is after both of them. " Said Lily, "What do we do?"

"Protect him, love him, and above all else, TELL NO ONE WHO HE TRULY IS, mention nothing of him being my son as well. I have lived as a human and I know that if people find out of his power they will try to use him, some will do it for the greater good, some because they think they should dictate how the world is run, if either of them get him, I fear they will turn him into a weapon, that will ultimately destroy your world. "

"Right, so no telling Dumbles or Voldie. How about the Marauders, my friends?" Asked James.

"You each may tell one person, but make sure they are dearer to you than anyone else save your mate, and you are positive they can keep a secret." Phoenix answered.

James instantly thought of Sirius, Siri was a goof ball but he could keep a secret and loved Harry so much already. Lily was stuck between Alice Longbottom, her best friend, and Amelia Bones who was like an aunt and took care of with McGonagall after her parents died and sister and boyfriend later husband, stole the money left her from the parents and the house that was left to Lily as well. Lily thought briefly of telling McGonagall about Harry but cancelled that thought as Minerva was too close to Dumbledore. Ultimately she chose Amelia as Harry's godmother.

"I've decided on Amelia she's always been there for me." Said Lily.

"I've decided on Sirius, he may be a joker and prankster, but he would never betray as we are brothers in all but blood." James said with full conviction.

"Well now that that is taken care of, love and protect our son, his destiny is perhaps the greatest the universe has ever known." The Phoenix prepared to leave, look up at the ceiling when Lily suddenly yelled wait.

"Will you come and visit him, I want you to know you are more than welcome at anytime." Lily said.

"Thank you. You will have this time with him all on your own though I may come to visit, when he comes into his powers he will be as a newborn in the vast universe, so I will nurture him then. Simply love him and know that you will be remembered throughout time."

"Before you leave, I would like to give you an unbreakable vow. With it, not even a mind reader like Dumbledore or Voldemort could get the secret from us, because our magic will resist the secret being discovered, that is what the magic of the vow is about. Furthermore I think Sirius and Amelia should give similar vows. Harry must be protected." Said Lily, as James nodded beside her thoughtfully.

"I agree. It's the only way to be safe." James said.

James and Lily gave their vows to Phoenix, and she departed after giving Harry one last kiss and hug goodbye. She truly did love her son.

Two weeks later, James and Lily had set a meeting with Sirius and Amelia, they were to come to dinner. They arrived on time, which shock James because Sirius was almost never on time. Sirius said simply that he would always be on time when it came to Harry. And then asked if he could make Harry his heir, James and Lily looked at each other, knowing that Harry probably won't be on earth after he turns 17, but said yes anyway, make it would take longer for Harry to come into his powers, they had no way of knowing when it would happen exactly.

After dinner James gathered everyone including two house-elves, he was glad he had asked Phoenix if two house-elves assigned to Harry could know, after explaining to her what they were, and their fierce loyalty she agreed.

"Okay Amelia, Sirius we brought you two here for two reason, one you two are the people each of trust most in the world, and two you are both Harry's god parents. I must ask an unbreakable vow before I tell you anything, but once I do you'll see why I need the vow. Will take the vow?"

Sirius and Amelia looked at the friends and they could see a fierce seriousness that wore on their faces. Whatever they wanted to say it would be something very important, maybe something about the war even. The both agree and took the vow to never reveal what had been said this night and to protect Harry with their lives if need be.

"Thank you my friends, this is a long story, you see, the baby that Lily and I was going to have died in the womb in the fifth month. Please let me finish before you ask your question. First of course yes, Harry is our son in name and blood, but Harry is someone else child too. You see while we slept that night we had a visitor and she wanted to have a child, so when she detected that our child had died she infused him with her essence, in effect making the child hers as well. We met her two weeks ago, her name is Phoenix. It's not just a name but what she is. I asked her if had anything to do with Fawkes, when she said his name he appeare, and bowed to her. Further she could speak Phoeni, she translated that Fawkes kind were beings of energy that took her shape after watching her for a while, they chose her true form. She is the original Phoenix. As she said these things Fawkes just nodded in agreement to everything she said." James paused for a few moments to catch his breath again before he continued.

"She said that she was the universal embodiment of the impulse to create or destroy. Amazingly she looked a lot like Lily but she said her form was based off a woman named Jean Grey. Maybe you could research this Grey woman Amelia, I think she may even be related to Lily. We do know one thing about Phoenix, she's immensely powerful, she could destroy Voldie and Dumbles even if they fought against her at the same time. She said that Harry was all three of our child and that we could check with a paternity potion. We did and she is listed as a second mother. She said that Harry was too powerful for the problems of mortal men, I'm paraphrasing here, however she did say that in a battle situation, he could easily accidentally destroy this world and the solar system. She said she put a block on his power until he was ready to deal with the power, and that when block was broken she would return for him." I explained to both Amelia and Sirius who had stunned looks on their faces.

Sirius and Amelia sat their shocked, the story was too preposterous to be believe, their Harry the son of a cosmic entity. Amelia as she thought about remember researching the super muggles, they were powerful, but hardly cosmic, except for the Silver Surfer though he reportedly had sailed off to space three years ago.

Suddenly there was a flash of light and a woman who looked remarkably like Lily appeared, again she was completely naked, she simply like to feel the air on her skin.

"Phoenix, you've returned is there a problem?" Asked Lily.

"No, my work took me to this part of the galaxy and I thought I would stop by, though I'm not suppose to come back to Earth for another five years, I just want to peak in on our son." Phoenix saw Harry and approached him, she picked him up and held him, then breast fed him. He drank greedily for a moment then glowed. The child smiled a tired smile and went to sleep.

"I'm sorry I forgot last time I was here, that he would need my milk at least once to stabilize him, I think by this time tomorrow you would have been trying to call me and to take him to hospital. But that crisis was averted. Well, you two must be their trusted ones, I am Phoenix, the embodiment of the universe's impulse to create or destroy. Nice to meet you." Phoenix explained and then paused to let the information sink in.

"You're..." said Amelia and Sirius as the same.

"You're Jean Grey." Amelia said.

"No, I'm not Jean Grey is innocent I did all the crimes she was accused of. I created this form and copied her so completely that I lost myself, and I never had the ability to process human emotions before... well I can process love. Jean has been cleared and I have been declared innocent as well, after all who could hold a cosmic entity. No one on this planet, so they just cleared me. Go figure."

"You've heard of Jean Grey, Amelia?" Lily asked.

"Yes, I have. She's one of a group of outlaw mutant muggles, called 'The X-Men.' They are called heroes by some and criminals by others, they have been said to have save the world at least three times over, last I heard. Jean Grey was wanted for being a member of a terrorist group internationally, but now that think about it was called off, about four months ago." Amelia Bones told her pseudo niece in all but blood.

"It is good to hear officially that the word got out about her being cleared. Really it was my fault, human emotions to one who had never experienced them before can be intoxicating and addictive. I just wanted to feel more and more emotions until I lost Jean's moral compass and went dark for a time." Phoenix told the others.

Phoenix face fell and you could feel the guilt rolling off of her, it appears she has kept another emotion of Jean's. "While I was so caught up in feeling emotions and so restricted in this form and with no memory of my being who I truly am, I... felt like I was starving. I didn't remember that I could go to my true for and feed from the biosphere, I just knew I needed energy and in this form, I couldn't feed properly, I need more energy. I flew into space still in my copy body, and I ate a star."

The other gasped.

"I ate the star to an inhibited solar system. I killed two billion sentient beings to feed my hunger and my need for emotions. I will never make up for what I've done, but I will try, being immortal has some redeeming qualities in that I have to try and make a mends for what I've done." Phoenix said looking almost sad,

"Well, I must go my work takes me around the universe and I only had a short time to be here today. And I think I figured out Harry's role in the universe, as my son it makes perfectly good sense really. Well, I still have to let him discover it on his own. Take care of him, and I'll be back in at least five years. Don't forget to look up Jean Grey, you two look too uncanny alike to not be related. Good luck, my friends." Phoenix said and she start to phase through the ceiling and out the house, James and the group rushed out side to see her go, they watched floored as she transformed into a gigantic phoenix made entirely of fire and headed off into space.

"I wonder how on one else noticed a huge honkin bird of fire take off from here, there is no way they could have missed and the wards don't cover that high in the sky.

#I only wanted you all to see, so you were the only ones to see. So long.# Said a voice in their minds that they recognized as the Phoenix. Phoenix turned into a spec in the night sky and then was gone.

"You know James that's not something you see every day." Sirius said, still flabbergasted by all he had see this night.

"Tell me about it." James said as everyone headed back into the house.
