I Wish...
Lily and James Potter walked upstairs slowly, a sleeping child in each of their tender holds. They smiled lovingly at each child in turn as they entered the babies room. The twins were put in their respective beds. The children smiled softly a feeling of carefree safety swaddling their dreams. The Potter's carefully tiptoed softly out of the room. Their expressions turned serious."James. We have to stay alert." Lily whispered. James nodded, all too aware of the threat that loomed over their family. James sent a patronus message to Albus Dumbledore enabling him to send in the Auror. And only then could Lily and James fall asleep peacefully. A stony-faced Auror stood at their door. Ready and vigilant in his duty to protect. Although he was a top Auror of the best kind, someone still slipped in under the cloak of darkness. He went silently to the twins room. Only then did he speak."Avada Kedavra." He whispered silkily. The cots exploded with the force of the spell and the children screamed buried under the wreckage. Harry Potter crawled out from under the cot screaming as the gash on his head bled. Allium, the younger twin crawled to him, seeking only to comfort and protect. She carefully put her arms around the older twin and looked at their attaker with fear and pleading in her eyes. He smiled at her as his wand waved. Silently he mouthed the words once more."Avada Kedavra." Allium screamed in pain and fear as the man disappeared. She fell to the ground and her brother screamed all the louder. Thir parents came in and saw one child asleep near the wreckage. And one screaming with a large gash on his head."He's the one." Lily whispered, completely misunderstanding the situation."He got hurt trying to protect his sister. He is the one who destroyed Voldemort!" she said louder. James came in and they talked excitedly about the child in their arms. Allium turned slightly, her dark hair revealing a lightning scar.
