Four adults sat in the living room of a small house. One, a woman was reading to two small black-haired, green-eyed one-year old girls who were delightedly looking at the pages. Another crazy-haired male had a small red-haired blue-eyed 2 month old boy upon his lap who was sleeping fitfully as he talked to two other men. Suddenly, the door burst open and a flash of green light came through, hitting one black haired man and killing him.
"Padfoot, no!" yelled the crazy haired man," Lily, take Jake, Melinda and Alice upstairs quick!"
Lily picked up two children as the crazy haired man, James and the brown haired man, Remus dueled the man. Remus grabbed the other child and they ran up the stairs as James fell to a red light.
Voldemort chased them as they barricaded themselves in the nursery, putting the one-year old twin girls in the crib. Lily was immediately downed by a red light. Remus was still holding the 2 month old in his arms when he was hit with green light. Jake took the brunt of the curse and it killed him, but Remus had a huge cut that made him pass out. Then Voldemort turned to the twins, Melinda and Alice. He shot a green light at them to but a force field materialized around them both, shooting the curse back at him, but some of it got through and it gave them both lightning bolt shaped scars on their foreheads that quickly faded. As Voldemort vaporized they fell unconscious.
Two hours later, James woke up. He felt for a pulse on Sirius, though there was none. He felt tears come to his eyes as he raced up the stairs. James pushed open the nursery door and saw Lily passed out right in front of it, Remus with Jake on top of him on the floor. Jake had a 'v' shaped scar on his cheek. James enervated Lily and together woke Remus up.
James was checking the twins when he heard Lily whisper," No…"
"James! Jake's dead! He's dead!" she cried hysterical. They were mourning Sirius and Jake when Dumbledore walked in. He examined the body of Jake and said, "Jake has saved us all, but at a heavy price. He died in the process".
Lily started sobbing uncontrollably and James tried to calm her down. Remus picked up the twins who at that moment had started wailing, as if sensing their grief. He tried to calm them down but to no avail.
"James, Lily. I know you're upset, I am too, but I need some help here", said Remus.
"It's all those little brats' fault Jake is dead! They could've helped him but noooo! They're too good for that!" yelled James as he ran out," I hate those brats!"
Lily was eying them angrily as she too swept from the room.
As the twins stopped crying and fell asleep, Remus and Dumbledore left the room with one last worried glance.
