On one chilly October night, Lily and James and their two twins were playing inside a warm house.
Harry giggled as James made some shiny bubbles that reflected himself out of his wand. "Our first Halloween together, Harry and Hallie." He chuckled as Hallie tottered towards him, trying to pop the bubbles while Harry was nudging him to help mount his little broom.
Lily managed to suppress a smile. "No riding brooms in the house, Harry." She said sternly.
"Aww come on. They might as well have a little fun, wouldn't they?" James flicked his wand and the two twins flew up into the air.
Lily bit her lip, not with worry, but with affection. James caught both Potter twins safely, as he always did.
Harry roared with laughter as his Father tickled him, a joyous light dancing in his eyes. Harry and Hallie had a lot in common-for example, they loved flying, they had messy black hair, and they both had almond green eyes shaped exactly like Lily's. She was proud of that.
Hallie bobbed up and down her feet, trying to catch the bubbles once more. As the bubbles were charmed to not pop, Hallie seemed frustrated. James waved his wand once more, and the bubbles all popped at Hallie's slightest touch.
As the time passed late into the night, the two Parents of the two twins didn't hear a swish of a cloak. But they did hear their front door creak open.
"Answer the door, James." Lily said. "What's the magic word, dearest?" James joked. "Please?" Lily sighed. A few seconds later a man approached them-red pupils, thin lips and a snake-like nose-it was Voldemort.
"Lily, run!" James shouted. "It's him! I'll try to hold him off!". Lily hurriedly picked up the twins, and ran towards the door leading upstairs. She hesitated, then looked back at her Husband. Those messy black hair, smart quidditch reflexes...
She whipped around as a flash of green light illuminated the Potter's living room, hugging the two twins tightly to her chest.
Next thing Lily knew, she was in her bedroom. After putting Harry in a crate and Hallie under her blankets, she tried to lock the door.
"Alohamora!" A voice, a terrifying voice chanted the charm, and opened the door.
"Please, give Mercy! There only babies, only babies. Kill me instead!" Lily begged, tears falling from her eyes. "Stand aside, girl!" The man shouted. "Stand aside!"
"No, No! Kill me instead!" Lily screamed.
"AVADA KEDAVRA!" The man shouted, and after a flash of green light, Lily Potter crumbled dead to the floor.
Now Voldemort pointed his wand at Harry.
Hallie walked towards the man as if he was her dad, and as if James was about to make another bubble. She stretched out her hand-
As Voldemort shouted something inaudible, there was a flash of green light.
Hallie's arm, just below her wrist grazed the curse. She cried and cried and cried. Behind her, Harry was bawling to.
There was always something different about the Potters. Now, it was both of their scars. Hallie has a lightning shaped on below her wrist, while Harry had one on his forehead.
