Lily: *smacks Harry upside the head* Be nice before I have her dress you up as a girl again!

Harry: Y-you won't...*le gasp*...yes mum.

Heh, please ignore them ^^

Anyway I'll see you guys at ch 19, till then,

"Thank you so much Peter!" gasped Lily Potter as she passed her squirming youngest son, Harry, to Peter Pettigrew her husband's friend, despite his (Harry's not Peter's) best efforts to escape.

His beady, watery eyes crinkled as he smiled at her. "It's nothing Lily. I don't want to go anyway. Those girls," he shuddered, "they scare me."

Lily laughed, "You'll find someone eventually Peter." She kissed his cheek making him blush and then kissed her son's forehead.

"I already put Matthias to bed since he isn't sleeping very well. He'll give you the most trouble. Harry will just breeze through the night won't you sweetheart?" Harry giggled in response before returning to trying to escape Peter's arms.

Harry had never liked Peter, a fact which Harry's godfather Sirius teased Peter relentlessly about.

"Maybe he's afraid of rats?" Sirius suggested one day, causing he and James to roar with laughter.

Well, you could put it that way.

"Lils!" James Potter called to his wife from downstairs, "It's time to go! The carriage is here! It's a pumpkin this year! With Sirius' face craved into it!" Lily chuckled and gave a final farewell to Peter and Harry before going downstairs to her husband.

They were off to the annual Black Halloween Ball. Sirius had taken his place as Head of the Black Family after his mother had 'finally croaked' as Sirius put it.

Peter sighed as he heard the door slam. They were finally gone. He quickly placed Harry in the cot beside his brother before the boy killed him. Peter grinned at the irony. Everyone thought it was just a joke that Harry hated Peter but in reality, well some people say children are very observant.

The door in the nursery flew open and in glided the Dark Lord Voldermort (for dark lords don't walk, much too boring) a black cloak swirling around at his ankles and his wand held aloft.

Peter fell to his knees. "My Lord, My Master," he whispered.

"They suspected nothing?" asked Voldermort coldly.

"No my lord."
"Good." He strode over to the boys' cots and let his gaze survey them.

The first thing he noticed was that they were not identical. The bigger one had the red hair of his mother and looked more like her in facial structure as well. He could not see the boy's eyes since he was asleep but Voldermort assumed they were the same green colour as the mudblood's.

"Name?" he snapped.

Peter followed his master's gaze, "That is the elder, Matthias Remus Potter."

Voldermort curled his lip up in a sneer, "So this must be Harry."

The younger twin was very much awake staring at the two men with eyes that seemed on fire. He was a carbon copy of James excluding the eyes. Jet-black hair that was messy and out of control sat atop his head and his heart shaped face was the same as James'. Harry was considerably smaller than Matthias but there was a certain power surrounding him.

Harry glared at this new person. He didn't like him one bit, not to mention the rat-man had brought him and Harry hated the rat-man. He opened his mouth and let out a wail of irritation.

Voldermort chuckled, "Oh I see," he said, "You do not like me Harry Potter do you? Oh well. I guess since you're awake we'll go with you first then." He pulled out his wand and aimed at the one-year-old. "Avada Kedavra!"

The room flooded with green light heading straight towards the defenceless toddler and then… gold light began to swirl around Harry and the roof began to shake and fall in on it's self. Scared Harry began to cry again waking his brother who, when seeing all the pretty lights, laughed.

Then green and gold collided and the green raced back to its conjurer.

Voldermort screamed as he was hit with his own killing curse. Outraged he felt his soul leave him. He wasn't scared, he knew his Horcruxes would bring him back but it put him back a few steps.

Oh well, next time, were Voldermort's last thoughts before his soul fled his body and he crumpled to the ground.

Peter gasped as his master fell but didn't have too much time to dwell on it. A piece of the roof managed to strike the traitor on his head knocking him unconscious until help arrived.

Albus Dumbledore had heard the wards of Godric's Hollow collapse and apperated over immediately and found the house in ruins. The only things that were standing were two cots. He could hear a baby crying. The old man ran as fast he could over to the cot and sighed in relief to find both children alive and well.

Dumbledore inspected the boys. Harry was fast asleep whilst Matthias was wide awake and wailing. His left cheek was glowing the same way Harry had a few moments before. But of course Dumbledore couldn't have known this. The glow dimmed and revealed an L shaped scar perfectly healed.

L for Light, L for Lord Voldermort.

Dumbledore glanced down at the floor and saw the dead body of Tom Riddle, more commonly known as Lord Voldermort, and the unconscious body of the traitor Peter Pettigrew.

In that second Albus made a decision that would break apart a family and cause Dumbledore major problems in the future.

"Forgive me Harry Potter, but your brother is just far more important to the world," he whispered. He waved his wand and the young raven-haired boy disappeared.

There was a loud crack as Lily and James Potter returned home.

"Albus!" exclaimed Lily, "What happened?"

"I fear Lily that Mr Pettigrew betrayed you. However the good news is that Matthias has defeated Lord Voldermort!"

"His scar is obviously where Voldermort sent a killing curse," said the old wizard, "You have a wonderful boy here Lily and James. You must look after him carefully."

"But A-albus," sobbed Lily, "W-what ab-bout Ha- Harry?"

Dumbledore shook his head, "I'm sorry Lilly it's most likely that Voldermort tried to kill Harry first and the force was too much for the boy to bear. I would think his entire body evaporated…"

Lilly sobbed into her husband's shoulder while James just stood frozen, unable to cope with the loss of a child and the responsibility to a saviour.

Dumbledore apologised to mourning couple and disaperated straight into his office in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Yes it was impossible and yes it was against the law the let down the wards for even a second but why would this affect the greatest Light wizard since Merlin?

He stepped over the bundle that lay on the floor coldly and sat down at his desk. A rustle came from the side of the room as the Headmaster's familiar; a phoenix called Fawkes, swept down and landed next to the bundle.

Dumbledore didn't even notice as he pulled out quill and parchment and began to forge a letter.

To Mrs Petunia Dursley,

The boy is your nephew Harry Potter. It is essential that he is kept away from his family. Raise him to believe they are dead. When he turns eleven we will deal with him.

Every month five thousand pounds will be added to your bank account for your troubles but only if the boy remains in your care.

I care not for how you treat him just keep him away.

Lily Potter.

He then attached the letter to the bundle and with a flick of his wand the bundle disappeared.

Fawkes gave his 'master' a reproachful look and returned to his stand in the corner.

Albus Dumbledore sat back in his chair smiling smugly and planning for the future.

The Greatest Light wizard since Merlin…
