The Other Chosen One
Prologue
Those with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approach… Born to those who have thrice defeated him. Born as the seventh month dies. And the Dark Lord will mark them as his equals, but they will have powers the Dark Lord knows not. Either must die at the hands of the other, for none can live while the other survives. The ones with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born to 2 best friends. Born as the seventh month dies.
"Don't they look adorable?" Evangeline Black gushed as she watched her daughter and godson sleep side by side in Harry's cot.
"That they do." Lilly Potter replied, leaning against her husband as they watched the children.
"I won't be surprised if they end up together. They're already inseparable." James Potter said with a laugh. He had no doubt that those 2 would end up being like he and Sirius were at Hogwarts. Trouble makers and the next generation of Marauders.
"Don't let Sirius hear you say that. He wouldn't let Harry near Alexis every again!" Evangeline laughed.
"He's going to be fending boys off left and right." James laughed, imagining his best friend scaring teenage boys away from his daughter. "What age do you think he'll let her date? 30? 40?"
"I believe his exact words were 'over my dead body.'" Lilly exclaimed, making them all laugh.
"If Alexis turns out to be anything like her father, she won't have to wait long." James laughed.
"I still can't believe that they were born on the same day." Evangeline said, giving her daughter a loving gaze.
"That means that not only are our husbands in sync in their daily lives, they're in sync in bed." Lilly laughed, loving her husband's slight blush.
"What can I say? We always were the best." James laughed as he left the room to get drinks. Just as he closed the door to the nursery, the front door banged open to reveal a hooded figure. "Lilly! Ange! Grab the kids and run! It's him!" He yelled as he ran down the stairs, wand raised. Before he could say anything else, a green light hit him in the chest, stopping his heart in a second. He fell to the floor and the figure stepped over his body, not caring about the life lost.
The man walked up the stairs and into the nursery to see 2 women stood protectively in front of the cot, wands nowhere to be seen.
"Step aside and I will spare your lives." He said in a low, hissing voice.
"Never!" Lilly exclaimed.
"We won't let you harm our children." Evangeline yelled at him.
"So be it." He said, raising his wand once more.
The 2 women turned to their children. "We love you." They said together before a green light hit them, the effect instantaneous as their bodies fell to the ground.
The man walked up to the cot, seeing the 2 awake children hugging each other. He went to kill them with the same spell, not expecting what happened. The spell rebounded and hit him, his body disappearing before it could hit the ground.
Less than an hour later, a giant man with a lot of hair walked into the house, holding back his tears at the sight of James' body lying discarded on the floor. He continued through the house, finally letting out his tears when he saw Lilly Potter and Evangeline Black on the floor of the nursery, next to the cot. He turned, not wanting to see the children's bodies, when a cry from the cot made him freeze. He made his way over and was shocked to see Alexis and Harry hugging each other. His blood boiled at the sight of the scars on their heads. He picked the 2 children up and walked out of the house, shielding them from the sight of their parents. He stood at the end of the path, wondering what the best way to get them away from the house was when he heard a noise overhead. Sirius Black landed his flying motorbike before stopping and running over to the man.
"Hagrid!" The young father shouted, stopping just in front of the man. "Where are they?" Hagrid moved his coat and handed Alexis to her father, who hugged her close to his chest.
"Her and Harry were in the cot, but Sirius, look at their heads." Sirius looked at the scar Hagrid pointed out on Harry's head, before looking down at his daughter, seeing the same mark.
"He tried to kill them." He gasped, his anger barley contained, before looking up, dreading the answer to his next question. "Hagrid, where's Angie? And James and Lilly?" He saw Hagrid's face and slow shake of his head, before he fell to his knees, clutching Alexis closer to his body. "No."
"I'm sorry Sirius. There was nothing I could do." Hagrid watched as the man cried for the loss of his wife and 2 best friends. "Sirius, I have to take them to Dumbledore." He reached for Alexis, but Sirius jumped up, holding his daughter with one arm and wiping his face with the other.
"No. Take Harry and my bike. You'll get there faster. I'm going to take Alexis to Remus. She can stay there while I find the bastard that did this." He said. He watched as Hagrid took his Godson to Dumbledore before summoning his broom and flying to his Remus' house. He'd have to inform him on what happened to their best friend and his wife, but he'd be with someone who understood and he knew Remus could look after Alexis until he had found out what happened.
Here's the first chapter. I am going to follow the Prisoner of Azkaban story line for this story and any quotes belong to J. . This story is separate to my other Harry Potter story and will hopefully make sense.
Hope you enjoy it.
