Introductions, Hogwarts, and Parties

James yelled for Lily to run upstairs and protect the children. Voldemort followed by a few death eaters had come to finish them off. Well they couldn't allow that to happen. Lily tried to be brave as she ran up the stairs, but fear overcame here. Her four children were in her second eldest's bedroom. Voldemort was about to throw the killing curse at her children. Lily sprinted in front of her children and then everything went black.

"Lily, wake up, dear," came the voice of her husband. Lily opened her eyes and looked around. She was at St. Mungo's.

"What happened?" Lily asked.

"Voldemort tried to attack. Him and severel death eaters were ready to attack the children. You dived in front of them and that acted as some sort of sheild that made the curse backfire," said James.

"Where are they?" Lily asked.

"With Molly and Arthur. They spent the night there. Half the order is is at the burrow," said James as a single tear fell down his cheek.

"What is it?" Lily asked.

"Lily, I've been so stupid! Peter sold us out! He betrayed us. He's been working for the dark side for over three years now! I thought he was my friend!" James burst out.

"He has? You're not serious! Where is he? Did he escape? I swear when I get my hands on that foul little rat-" Lily began, but James held up a hand to silence her.

"He's in Azkaban for good," James assured her.

"I'm so sorry James. You have been friends for so long. I just can't believe that Peter is a Death Eater. I wonder what happened to make him turn on us," said Lily thoughtfully.

"Just sleep. We'll talk more later."

Mere hours previously Sirius Black and Remus Lupin had went to warn Lily and James that they suspected Peter was working for the dark side. When they got there they found the unconsious bodies of their friends and the screaming of the children. Daisy, the eldest who was three, the same age as Fred and George Weasley was also a red-head. She looked exactly like her mother except for her hazel eyes. Harry looked just like his father with jet-black hair except for his mother's green eyes. Violet and Andrew were just born a few months earlier, and they were twins. They decided that it would be fine to call the child by her middle name instead, Ashley, because James showed a disliking for the name Violet. They both had dark red hair and hazel eyes. Two years after this incident they had their fifth child, Rose. She looked like Harry with black hair and emereld eyes. A year later they had Periwinkle. The family decided to call her Perry though. She had red-brown hair and green eyes. A year after, Voldemort planned a second attack. Two death eaters attacked the newest additions, but this time James ran in front of the children to protect them. It was de ja vu all over again.

Daisy Potter grew up being best friends with Fred and George Weasley. Daisy would soon be entering her seventh year of Hogwarts along with the twins. Harry had made two best friends, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger. Ron and Harry had met Hermione when they turned three. Her parents had joined the Order of the Phoenix, and the three of them had been best friends ever since. Hermione was one of four children. She had an older sister named Athena, and another older brother named Bryton. She also had a younger sister named Persephone. They also had other friends like Neville Longbottom who they saw at least once a week. His parents were in the order too so they spent a lot of time together at Grimmauld Place. Ashley and Andrew became good friends with Ginny Weasley who was their age.

The odd thing about the Potters was that after the whole fiasco almost fourteen years earlier each of the Potter children had a scar in an odd shape. Daisy had one on her wrist in the shape of an M pointing to the left. Almost like a backwards 3, Harry had one on his forhead in the shape of a bolt of lightning. Ashley had one on her left ankle in the shape of an upside down L, and Andrew had one on the side of his neck in the shape of an upside down C. Rose and Periwinkle's both had taken a shape too. Rose's was a D that pointed to the left. Perry's was an upside down K. These scars were an affect to the killing curse that Voldemort and three of his death eaters had aimed at the children. Harry was different though. His scar came with the power to speak to snakes. No other Potter seemed to have that gift.

It was the day before Harry's fifteenth birthday. It was a good thing the Potter Manor was so large because so many people were here to attend his party. There was Mr. Weasley, Mrs. Weasley, Percy, Fred, George, Ron, Ginny, Uncle Remus, Uncle Sirius, Hermione, Hagrid, Mr. Longbottom, Mrs. Longbottom, Neville (who shared his birthday so they celebrated together), Aunt Petunia, Uncle Vernon, and their son Dudley.

Mrs. Weasley had made Harry a sweater with a snitch, quaffle, and bludger on it. She also got him a package of Chocolate Frogs. Mr. Weasley got Harry a book on muggles, Percy got Harry a book on Hogwarts that Hermione had read about a billion times called Hogwarts, A History. Fred and George got Harry lots of stuff to prank people with, Ron got Harry some candy, Ginny had made Harry a card, Uncle Remus got Harry a remembrall, Uncle Sirius gave Harry a sneakeskope, Hagrid got Harry a book of Magical Creatures, the Longbottoms got Harry candy, Hermione gave Harry a book on Quidditch, and the Dursley's got Harry a muggle chess set (which Ron said, "There's something wrong with this, they aren't moving!")

The next day Mr and Mrs. Potter along with Mr. and Mrs. Weasley took the six of their own kids and Hermione to Diagon Alley. Sirius, and Remus would be staying with the children who had gotten their stuff in advance. They got there by floo powder, and they first went to Madam Malkins. They got dress robes, and work robes. They then left for Florish and Blotts to get their school books. After that they went to get cauldrons, and all the other stuff they needed.

Everyone decided to play a game of Quidditch. Hermione's siblings flooed in. It was really great how all of them were like family. Fred, George, Daisy, and Athena were all the same age. Harry, Ron, and Hermione were all the same age. Ginny, Ashley, Andrew, and Persephone were all the same age and Percy and Bryton were both the same age. They had decided to play a game of Quidditch, all except for Percy who wanted to stay inside and read. Hermione wanted to do the same but they persuaded her to stay outside. The teams were Daisy, Fred, Harry, Hermione, Ashley, Ginny, and Bryton against Athena, George, Andrew, Persephone, Ron, and Rose.

Ashley, Ginny, Hermione and Bryton played as chasers. Daisy and Fred played as beaters, and Harry played as keeper. Andrew, Persephone, and Rose played as chasers, Athena and George played as beaters, and Ron played as keeper. The game went on for about two and a half hours when finally Fred's team won. After that they all went inside for dinner. Then the Weasley's went home. Because Persephone wasn't old enough to go to Hogwarts yet Bryton flooed her back home, and then came back because the Grangers were staying at the Potter Manor since it was so large there was room for each of them to have their own room.

Soon enough it was September First. Luckily, Lily had a very large van and all of them squeezed in without much problem together. Lily had bewitched the car to carry all of the Weasleys, Grangers, and Potters. Fred, George, Athena, Persephone, Periwinkle, Ashley, Ginny, Andy, Daisy, Harry, Hermione, Ron, Bryton, and Percy all ran through the barrier. Fred, George, Athena, Daisy, and Lee Jordan got a compartment to themselves. So did Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Neville.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't Potter," sneered Malfoy.

"What do you want, Malfoy?" Harry asked coldly.

"Nothing in paticular. Just wanted a glimpse of the famous Harry Potter. But you're no more worthy of fame than Weasley over here," said Malfoy nodding toward Ron.

"And you're no more worthy of fame than the dirt on my shoe. So how's your father, by the way? Still the same filthy death eater as he was the night he attempted to attack my sister?" Harry asked casually.

"You wait, Potter. You'll get yours," Malfoy muttered and left.

"I swear one of these day's he is going to push me too far," Ron mumbled. Hermione hadn't said a word, but shot daggers at Malfoy.

When they finally arrived, the sorting seemed to take forever. After the last first year had taken her seat everyone dug into the meal in front of them. A week had gone by...a month...two months..

Before everyone knew it it was time to go home for Christmas. When they got onto the other side of the barrier all of their family was there. Hermione went off with Bryton, Persephone, and Athena to the other Grangers. The Weasleys' and Potters' went back to the Potter mansion. Dudley Dursley had been accepted to Hogwarts, but they rarely saw him there because he was a Hufflepuff, and hung out with Hannah, Justin, Susan, and Ernie a lot.

The next day was December 23rd. Fred, George, Ron, Hermione, Athena, Persephone, Bryton, Dudley, Parvati, Padma, Lavender, Seamus, Dean, Neville, Ernie, Justin, and Hannah were all coming over for a christmas party. They had been informed that Perry was a little sick though. Lily and Perry were at St. Mungo's and Harry felt really guilty about partying while she was sick. On the third and top floor of the mansion James, Sirius, Hagrid, Remus, and the Longbottoms were all discussing something.

Ashley, Ginny, Persephone, Seamus, and Dean were all in the corner by the kitchen talking and drinking butterbear. Parvati, Lavender, and Bryton were on the couch in the parlor. Athena, Daisy, Fred, and George were on the porch. Ron, Justin, and Hannah were in the sitting room. Dudley, Ernie, Padma, Harry, and Hermione were all in the family room. This party was going to get interesting.
