It was May 15th, 1980 when Albus Dumbledore came upon something of great importance. He was in the middle of an interview with a young woman named Sybill Tralawney. Dumbldore had doubted that she had any true Divination talent unliker her grandfather. Seemingly out of nowhere, she began to speak in a low rasping voice.

"There shall be one who is able to defeat the Dark Lord ... He shall be born to parents who have thrice defied the Dark Lord...He shall be born by the close of July and have powers beyond those of the Dark Lord ...Whichever side he chooses shall be victorious as he strikes his enemies swiftly and vehemently..."

There were two Auror families that fit the description and they were the Potters and the Longbottoms. In any case, he knew he had to make sure that both families were under his grip. He couldn't have the Light side lose the war. He especially couldn't let his plans for the unborn saviour go to naught. His power over the British Wizarding community depended on it.

July 30th, 1980

An infant's scream pierced the air, marking the first of two anticipated births. The Longbottoms lovingly welcomed this new addition to their family, a little boy named Neville Frank. Hours later, it was the Potters' turn. Lily went into labour around 6pm that evening. By 11:49 in the evening, a boy with dark auburn hair and hazel eyes was born. The contractions, to everyone's surprise, did not stop. Eleven minutes later, a second child was born to the Potters at 12:00 a.m. on July 31. He had dark, unruly hair and mystifying green eyes. The first was named Robin James and the second, Harland Lorien. The two parents looked at their newborns adoringly and swore to protect them with their lives.

October 31st, 1981

Time had flown by quickly but the danger in the wizarding world had not lessened. The safety of the Potters and the Longbottoms became so imperative that they were placed under the Fidelis Charm. Unbeknownst to them, the Potters' Secret Keeper had betrayed them for his own security.

The front door was blasted off its hinges and revealed a haughty man bent on destruction.

"Quick, Lily! Take the kids upstairs!" Lily ran with both children in her arms as fast as she could.

"I won't let you hurt them!" James yelled at the Dark Lord.

"You don't stand a chance." he stated calmly.

"Expelliarmus!" Voldemort quickly dodged it. In an instant, James was stunned.

Voldemort casually walked upstairs as if he had done nothing. He slowly opened the door.

"James! Are you.." she started to say but ended by screaming. "Not my children! No! Please, not them! Kill me!" Lily pleaded.

"Get out of the way, you silly girl!"

"No!" she was also stunned.

"Two Potter children. Who to choose?" He surveyed the two boys in their cribs where only the ginger child was crying. Upon seeing this weakness, he stunned the child. His eyes moved onto the brunette.

"Now, boy, I am not going to kill you but merely ... test you." Voldemort told Harry as if the child would undertand. "Let's see if you can survive the worst curse of them all. Avada Kedavra!"

As soon as he uttered the curse, he apparated down stairs. When he came back, he found the room covered in debris and the child wailing with tears as he sported a new lightning shaped cut.

"Interesting. Extremely." he muttered to himself as he picked up the conscious twin. The baby looked at him, continuing to cry. Voldemort had never tolerated crying children. However, something within this boy called to him, willing him to take care as he held him. This appeared to soothe the child.

"And now for the perfect cover-up." Voldemort used a cutting spell, creating a cut shaped like an "M". It had enough magical residue to be called a curse scar and he knew Dumbledore would be searching for something to label the supposedly marked child. He set the darker twin down, stunned him, and disapparated into the night.
