Prologue
The door was thrown ajar as four hooded figures stepped into Godric's Hollow in front of James Potter. One man removed his hood, Voldemort. "Deal with while I kill the boy," he spoke smoothly.
He walked away towards a red headed woman carrying something in her arms. "Run away Lils!" James shouted.
Lily Potter took the boy and ran upstairs, a flash of green missing her. James fought brilliantly against the three death eaters who were revealed to be Bellatrix Lestrange, her husband Rodolphus Lestrange, and the other being Antonin Dolohov. He held off the barrage of killing curses and managed to disarm two of the death eaters before Bellatrix screamed, "CRUCIO!" and knocked James to his feet.
On the second floor Lily Potter was cornered in her toddler's bedroom. She stood in front of the boy's crib as he cried. Voldemort entered the room cackling. "I'd love to fight you some other time Lily," he said truthfully. "But today is not that day."
He sent the defenseless woman flying into a wall, seemingly knocking her unconscious. "As for you Harry, your mother will mourn the death of you and your father. It will be very fun to watch." Voldemort said. Gripping his wand, he pointed it at Harry and silently cast a spell.
Green flashed throughout the house, "He's done it," Bellatrix said. "You failed to protect your son Potter! And now he's dead. How does it feel?" She continued torturing him waiting for Voldemort to come back, but he didn't.
Minutes passed, Bellatrix had stopped torturing James at this point and just stood there, shaking, like a dog with rabies waiting for its master. Soon, the death eaters fled, forgetting to kill James, in fear of being arrested by the aurors they assumed were coming. And they were right because moments later Sirius Black and Remus Lupin walked in the house. Immediately they saw James on the ground. "Is he alive?" asked Remus in a worried tone.
Sirius checked his pulse and nodded. They levitated James onto a stretcher before walking upstairs. Sirius got Harry while Remus checked Lily for a pulse before conjuring a stretcher for her. The two men walked downstairs, Sirius cradling his godson while Remus levitated Lily on her stretcher.
Downstairs was Albus Dumbledore and Minerva McGonagall, "I suppose they are all alive," Dumbledore spoke softly.
Sirius nodded, "Voldemort seemed to be targeting Harry, and Harry alone."
Dumbledore looked down at the baby in Sirius's arms noticing something strange on his forehead. "Sirius, may I hold Harry."
Sirius handed his godson over to Dumbledore. Harry looked up at Albus and started playing with his beard. "Minerva, am I seeing this right?" Dumbledore said eyeing Harry's forehead. "It looks like he has a scar in the shape of a lightning bolt, how strange."
Minerva looked at Harry's forehead for a few seconds. "Albus, I think your right." She then looked at Remus and Sirius. "Was that there yesterday, or any other time before tonight?"
Lupin responded immediately, "No professor, that wasn't there this morning when we brought them food and the daily prophet."
Dumbledore looked up from Harry, "And Zara is still with Molly and Arthur."
Sirius nodded, "Yes, most people think Molly had another set of twins. The only people that don't are in the Order."
Dumbledore smiled at this. "James and Lily will have their hands full once they get better. For now I think its best we bring Harry there as well."
Everyone nodded in agreement. "I'll take him," Sirius said. "He's my godson after all." At that Dumbledore handed Harry back to Sirius and the two of them popped out of the air.
I hoped you liked this first chapter. I had a really fun time writing it. I got the idea of this whole story from Harry Potter and the Twists of Fate. If you have read my other fanfic that I made back in September it is uncomplete and I will not finish it. I did not like where the story was going so I'm sorry if you like it. Anyways, the next chapter will kick off with an older Harry and introduce you guys to his sister, Zara.
