(AN; This is the first chapter of my first story on this site, I hope you like it. I haven't decided on pairings yet, if you have any ideas then please review, but I will be making Harry gay.)

It was Hallowe'en, one of the best days of the year for children. They got to stay up late, play dress-up and get free sweets. It was that night that found a red-haired beauty of a women cleaning a small kitchen. Mushy baby food had fallen on the floor from where 2 little toddlers had seen fit to drop it. Said toddlers were in the small front room with their raven-haired, hazel eyed father. The raven-haired menace was creating small puffs of coloured smoke with a long stick of wood. This wood was his wand as he, his wife and his sons were all magical. His sons were both 15 months old and the oldest was born almost 1 hour before his brother. The older one had the same raven hair as his father and his mothers captivating emerald-green eyes. His younger brother had his father's hair but with streaks of red from his mother, he had his father's hazel eyes. These four people were a happy family, but they were also a scared family. There was a prophecy created claiming that a child born at the end of the seventh month would be the one to rid the world of the current dark lord. Both of the boys had been born on the 31st. They were born at the end of the seventh month and were the two most likely candidates. There was another boy born at the end of the month, a Neville Longbottom. There were probably many more but the prophecy stated that the child would be born to parents who had thrice defied the dark lord and that left only the three children. The Potters had gone into hiding, using a special spell that made the house invisible to all but who the secret keeper told. The secret keeper for the Potters was a trusted friend by the name of Peter Pettigrew.

There was another reason for the family to be scared and happy, the wife of the raven-haired man had become pregnant. They were happy that they were to have another child but they were scared that if the Dark Lord did find them they might be killed and the little one never born. They had been stressed and one thing led to another causing their stress reliever every night. It was then that the gate creaked open. The raven-haired man stood throwing his wand upon the couch to see why his friend was here so late at night. As he looked out of the window beside the door he stopped in his tracks.

"Lily get the boys and go! He's here, take the portkey its in the boy's room. Leave! Now!"

The man shouted to his wife as he dived into the front room to rectify his most stupid of mistakes. Lily gathered her two precious boys in her arm and had just gotten up half the stairs when the door was blasted off its hinges. As Lily ran one of the little boys squirmed, trying to get to his daddy. She was no match for the little baby as she was heavily pregnant and holding another child. The second oldest Potter child crawled as fast as his little legs would carry him to the pretty bright lights not knowing that they could kill him if one hit their mark. The eldest Potter child slid gracefully out of his mothers hold and ran to his brother. The Potter heir had learnt to walk at 10 months and had learnt to run in another month. He was reading by a year and was incredibly gifted when it came to accidental magic. He was also incredibly strong physically. He could leap over his cot bars as if they were a toy truck, but his parents didn't know that. He was a smart child that knew if his parents knew he could get out of his crib they would stop his from getting out during the night to read harder books.

The Potter heir picked his brother up around his middle and walked quickly back to his mother who was amazed by the show of strength. He passed his littler brother to his mother and began to climb the stairs effectively jump starting his mother into moving. She remembered the battle going on between her husband and the evil man. She rushed upstairs after her oldest son who had already made it to the nursery. As she was rummaging around for the portkey she heard her husband hit the floor and the footsteps start to ascend the stairs. She knew there was no way out as she could not find the portkey so she put both of her babies into the crib and turned to face the wooden door. What happened next passed in a blast for her all she could remember was pleading him not to kill her babies and to take her instead. The next thing she knew her husband was enervating her and she was crushed under rubble. She screamed, she didn't know were her little boys were or if they were even alive but then she heard to soft crying of her youngest.

"Evan baby its ok, mummy and daddy are here baby. Were's Harry, James? Were's my other little solider."

"I don't know hunny. But ill look for him I promise you need to go to Madam Pomfrey! You could have lost the little one."

Again she screamed before flooing out of the nearly demolished house to the magnificent magical castle that is Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and wizardry, taking her youngest with her.
James stayed behind looking for his heir. He saw a little foot just peeking out from underneath the crib and reached down. He hastily shoved the broken crib from his son and lifted the little child into his arms. He brushed his son's hair away from his eyes and over his forehead not noticing that as he did so he covered up a little cut in the shape of a lightning bolt. As he checked his son over he was happy to find that his son was still alive. He didn't think he could bear it if he knew for certain that he would never get to hear his little boy speak the words that the younger one did. That was the one thing little Harry never did learn. He never learnt to speak. The adults all thought he was mute but little Harry and Evan knew that it was because he didn't feel like speaking.

James flooed over to Hogwarts only to see Albus Dumbledore, the current headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, holding his littlest child and murmuring softly.

"He must be...Yep so powerful...must tell James and Lily."

"Tell us what Headmaster? Do you know who the boy-who-lived is?"

"Young Evan is our saviour and he needs all attention on him so either get rid of that one or just ignore him."

"I cannot leave my child with anyone else Headmaster, he will live with us."

"Either way Evan will have all the attention on him and he will be trained by all of Hogwarts finest. He will start training at 5 but you will teach him to read and write before then and if you can, teach him maths and the theory of other subjects."

"Yes Headmaster."

They all got checked over by Poppy Pomfrey, the schools Healer, who was rather angry about what they were going to do to poor little Harry, the family heir and the nephew she would never have. Once they were all given the all clear to leave, with many questions on why Harry needed checking over as he is not the Boy-Who-Lived, they left to go home. They hailed the boy-who-lived and ignored the other son they had. They were told that their baby was fine and was due within 2 months and would be a little girl but they didn't care, as long as their precious saviour was ok then nothing could go wrong. Little did they know that young Harry had a perfect memory and would remember this night as the night that he was abandoned by his family. Little Harry would never try to gain their attentions, he would go along as he was doing. He would learn everything he could and when he is ready he will prove who the true Hero is.

The light was doomed.

(Hope you enjoyed, I have a couple more chapters ready to go on, so they will be going on once I have proof checked them.I would feel great if you reviewed? Please? Note to Raven2547 if you ate reading this. It says at the end that Harry has perfect memory so he would remember everything he is told or is read to him. I know that had i had a perfect memory i would have learned to read by one because my parents used to read to me pointing out what word were what. so it is perfectly feasible for a child with perfect memory to learn to read. now back to my other readers, this is an updated version and i plan to read through all of my other chapters as-well and use the suggestions that are given to me to make it better, or at least the nice ones that are not flamers- they toast my marshmallows.)
