Harry stared at his parents with no expression on his face. It was hidden by his occlumency sheilds. He would seem cold to many but if you were able to touch his heart they would relize that looks can decieve. He was forgotten often, when he asked for attention he received it but it was never postive. It all started that day, because someone decided to have a hissy fit and comit murder.
The door burst open, and behind it the Lord Voldemort. He stepped into the manor, his mere presence made caused a sense of doom to enter the air. He looked at his follower Peter Pettigrew. The man gulped and walked foward. Lord Voldemort knew the animagus was having second thoughts. The Potter's were true friends to him, and here he was, betraying them in one of the worst ways possible. He made up his mind, there was no going back now anyway. He was no match for the current dark lord and moved out the way, leaving no more barriers between the Lord Voldemort and the Potter twins. Tom Riddle was scared, because of the prophecy. He didn't want to die, thats why the Potter twins had to go. He entered the room to see the two sleeping children. One had black hair with red streaksthe color of rust, it blended in perfectly laying across his naturally tan skin. The other one had red rust colored hair and one black streak. He starred at the red head, the child opened his eyes. They were brown, almost black and started crying. Lord Voldemort looked at the child in disgust, the noise was irrating him so he cast the spell "Avada Kedavra". The sickly green light traveled towards the upset child, until a hand intercepted it. It was the other child he looked at the dark lord. It was a clear message, 'nobody, touches my brother' and the killing curse was reflected back at him. The dark lord knew what would happen so he put up a quick sheild and then he shot two spells, one for each child but at that moment the killing curse hit him. so the two curses blended into one. Harry tried to put up a sheild but he was already tired from before and they went through but they were weaker and hit Harry's brother. Harry shrugged, he knew the danger was gone and went back to sleep. *15 minutes later*Lily and James Potter arrived home and automatically knew something was wrong. They called Dumbeldore and carefully went to check on the children. Lily almosted started crying when they saw the children were all right. She rushed to them, almost tripping over her own feet. "My babies are okay, my babies are okay" she chanted until she noticed the blood on Harry's brother Thomas. She looked at Dumbeldore, the most powerful wizard she knew with an expression that clearly said" what happend?". He smiled, protraying his kind grandfathers like look. "The prophecy my dear" his eyes began twinkling, almost maniacal. "It seems has stopped Voldemort, so may I present to you the boy who lived, but I must warn you, he might come back" he said. Lily clutched the child tighter, fearing if she took her attention from him, he's would get taken away from her
No one thought about Harry, the older one (even if it was by two minutes).
Somewhere over the rainbow
"Are you sure we had to make them ignore him" a motherly voice asked.l
"We only made Dumbeldore ignore him, if anyone else ignores him, the blame lies with themselves "*
