Chapter one
third person:
A red headed woman lay in a hospital bed, a baby boy in her arms. A man with black hair and glasses stood next to her, outside the door stood two men one wit wavy black hair and one with brown hair and scars everywhere.
A pop was heard from inside the room. The man looked up seeing another man; who had long hair, a beard, and glasses.
The obviously older man spoke, "Lily, James you both look well." The man we know now as James answered, "Thank you sir," as he tried (and failed) to contain a grin. "James you're not a child anymore, call me Albus." "Yes sir," James said with a smirk. Albus ignored him instead asking, "How's the boy?" "Perfect," said Lily. "What's his name?" asked Albus "Harry," Lily started only to be cut off by James, "Harry James Potter." "That's a won-" Albus was cut off by a gasp of pain from Lily.
"Lily what's wrong!?" exclaimed James. "I think there's another one," answered Lily though it was quite obvious that she was in pain. "Oh my Merlin call for a healer, call for a healer," yelled James. "No," said Albus. "Wait, what?" asked James. "Just trust me," said Albus. James looked Albus in the eyes, nodded, sighed, then said, "Just turn around." Albus was more than willing to do so. "Alright Lily just push, c'mon Lilypad push," James yelled trying (and failing yet again) to be supportive. Lily just rolled her eyes and pushed. Soon James was holding a beautiful baby girl.
"Ivory," James said. "What?" asked Lily. "That's her name, Ivory Lily Potter," answered James. "At least behind closed doors," added Albus. "Wait what do you mean?" asked both Lily and James. "Well started Albus, "I believe that Ivory here is the second child of the prophecy, Voldemort doesn't know about this child, no one knows about this child. It would be in the best interest of Ivory if you said she was someone else's child." "Or," said Lily. Albus sighed, "If Voldemort found you, James, or Harry he would kill you all; but if Voldemort found Ivory he would kidnaper, make her a death eater, and quite possibly marry her." "Oh," said Lily, while James said, "Sirius." "What?" asked Lily and Albus. "Sirius could raise her," answered James, however Lily didn't seem quite convinced so he continued, "I mean think about it, we would be able to see her all the time because he never leaves, we can't give her to Remus because of his furry little problem, plus people will be more likely to believe that Sirius has a kid." Lily let out a sigh, "okay." Lily and James both looked at Albus who said, "It's a good idea as long as her says yes." "Well I'll go get them," announced James. "Them?" questioned Lily. "Remus is out there too, " answered James. "Well at least I know you're being serious about this," Lily sighed. "Huh?" said James, who was utterly confused. "You're using their real names," Lily sated simply. "Oh," said James, "Well I'm gonna' go get the guys now."
James left the room and soon returned with Sirius and Remus. Remus had a huge smile on his face, but Sirius could tell that something was up and did a double take when he saw Albus. Sirius took a deep breath before screaming, "Okay what is up, James isn't all smiley and Albus is here, so what's going on," Sirius stopped and took a breath right before noticing Ivory, "And why are there two babies!" Lily and James looked towards Albus for help; Albus then sighed but still explained the situation.
"So," started Sirius, "you want me to raise your daughter?" "That's right," answered James. "Are you sure this is a good idea," questioned Sirius, "It's the best we've got," answered Lily. "Wait wait wait," cut in Remus. "What?" asked James. Remus then yelled as loud as possible "What are their names!?" Lily laughed and held up the baby in her arms, "This is Harry James Potter," James then held up the baby in his arms, "And this is Ivory Lily Potter." "Lovely names," said Remus. Sirius then looked into Ivory's eyes and said, "I'll do it." The room went silent and all eyes were now on Sirius, "I'll raise Ivory." "Thank you, you don't know how mu-" James started to say only to be cut off by Sirius, "But she's going to know who her real parents are." Albus started to say, "I don't think that's a go-" only to (also) be cut off by Sirius, "She's going to know, to the outside world she'll be Ivy Maerie Claire I'll be her dad her mom will be Marissa Claire she went to Beauxbatons she was a muggleborn and died in child birth, Ivy kept her last name, we named her Ivy because it's almost as beautiful a name as her, and only the people in this room will know who she really is." James, Lily, and Albus just nodded while Remus asked, "What about Peter?" James answered, "He didn't show up for the birth he doesn't get to know the secret."
