PREQUEL

It has always been so; that what brings happiness to one will always bring sadness to another. An unfortunate balance that wrings itself into our everyday lives, into every decision, every action, every event. This was no different.

There was no grand proclamation, no tears of anguish or joy, no forgetfulness, just the simple truth that one Fleamont Potter - while his parents lay asleep in their beds – used his love for his twin, Harry Potter, to destroy the Dark Lord Voldemort as he stood over their crib.

It was the noise that alerted Lilly and James. A horrid scream that rang from the murderers mouth as his body seemed to almost evaporate into the air of the nursery.

Lilly cried out as she ran to her babies, terrified that they may have been hurt, James following on her heels. With careful hands the two lifted the children up and cradled them in their arms. To the parents great sadness however, both Harry and Fleamont had been branded with burn marks to their small faces. Harry, with a small spiral in the center of his forehead, and Fleamont with a large lightning bolt over his left eye.

From that event onwards the lives of two siblings changed and began to run in two very different directions. Harry as the boy-who-lived, and Fleamont as the vanquisher of the dark lord.

A.N Please read.

For this story I have made some changes.

The scars: Once I learned that Harry was a sort-of horcrux I always saw the lighting bolt scar as a sign of its entry. In my head, I also see magic spells - when casted from a wand – as moving in a spiral formation. So – as Harry was the one who the spell was directed at, he got a spiral spell burn, and Fleamont (as the one whose love saved Harry) ends up attracting the dark soul piece and is scared with its entry.

Name: Since it's thought that Harry was named after James' Grandfather, Fleamont was names after James' Father.
