Prologue…

It is late at night on Privet Drive, not a soul was awake this night. All seemed to sleep peacefully, unaware of what had taken place not even five hours ago.

Walking out of the forest, a man with a long white beard and fancy dress robes moved quietly, his name is Albus Dumbledore though many just call him Professor Dumbledore. His somber mood did not deter him as he continued walking across the street to Number Four Privet Drive.

A distance away a cat stood watching Dumbledore with wise eyes. Professor Dumbledore came to a stop a foot away from the cat as he lifted up a device and took away the lights that surrounded the house. The cat meowed softly, catching his attention. He smiled down at her as he bowed his head in respect. "I should have known you would be here, Professor McGonagall." He said softly.

She slowly started walking towards Professor Dumbledore before turning into the form of an older woman. She wore fancy emerald robes that dragged against the pavement as she caught up with him. "Good evening Professor Dumbledore," She greeted back.

They made their way towards the house carefully, trying their hardest not to alert any muggles of their presence. "Are the rumors true, Albus?" She asked him with a concerned expression on her face. She lifted her skirts up as she stepped onto the curb. "I'm afraid so Professor. The good and the bad." He said solemnly.

"What about the twins?" She asked them. She had been most worried about them. Young life was so innocent and they deserved a chance to live. "Hagrid is bringing them." He said in response. She looked at him as if he stated he was a dwarf dressed as a nun. "Do you think it wise to trust Hagrid with something as important as this?" She asked him as they continued walking. Dumbledore looked at her with a small smile upon his face. "I would trust Hagrid with my life." He said.

The sound of Sirius Black's flying motorcycle filled the air. They both stopped at turned towards the bright light as Hagrid parked next to them with ease. He carefully slid the goggles off as he turned to look at both of the Professors. "Professor Dumbledore, sir. Professor McGonagall, ma'am." He greeted them with a nod of his head.

"No problems I trust, Hagrid?" Dumbledore mused out loud as Hagrid started walking towards them with a bundle hanging from his shoulder and onto his waist while another bundle was strapped to his chest. "Nothing that I couldn't handle, sir, Harry fell asleep just as we were flying over Bristol. It took a bit of work to get Iris to sleep, but eventually it worked. She just fell asleep to the sound of me heart beating." He said as he came to a stop next to them.

He handed Harry to Professor Dumbledore before handing Iris off to Professor McGonagall. Harry just had a tiny lightning bolt scar on the corner of his forehead while Iris had the exact same scar except it was longer and larger than Harry's. Hers started at the tip of her pointy chin and ran down her throat before finally stopping at her collar bone.

Little Iris actually woke up and stared at Professor McGonagall with large green eyes that held compassion and love. McGonagall smiled as her fingers brushed over the girl's tousled black hair. "Strange thing though, Iris didn't really cry. She just opened her mouth and nothing had come it. Tears were leaking from her pretty eyes, but that was about it." Hagrid mused out loud as he looked at the girl.

"Albus, do you really think this is a good idea? Leaving them here with these people, I watched them all day they really are the worst sort of muggles imaginable. They really are…" She started saying softly before Dumbledore cut her off.

"They are the only family they have left." He said as they started walking towards the door. She carefully glanced at the little girl before sighing out loud. "They are famous. There won't be a child alive in our world who won't know their names." She said as she continued playing with the little girls raven colored hair.

She looked up at him as he spoke. "Exactly, they are far better off growing up away from all of that until they are ready." He said as he carefully set Harry down upon the rug. Professor McGonagall gave one last look to the little girl that had already captured her heart before lying her down upon the matt next to Harry.

From the background, it sounded as though Hagrid was crying. They both quickly turned to face him with sad smiles upon their faces. "There, there Hagrid. It's not really goodbye after all." Dumbledore said before slowly turning to the twins. He pulled an envelope from his robe pocket and set it down upon Harry's blanket. He stood back up as he stared at them for a brief second. "Good luck, Harry and Iris Potter." He said softly.

The years had gone by easily enough despite the fact the Potter twins were treated like servants from a very young age. Life had not been easy either, especially with Iris being completely mute. This made her a bit of a social pariah even though she still had her brother. She got over the fact that she would never be able to talk so she channeled her attention into her studies and reading all the time. She is a very smart girl, probably smarter than most adults.

As the years continued, the Potter twins grew older until they were reaching their eleventh birthday. But first, they had to start with their rotten cousins birthday first. Boy oh boy was that what they needed to jump start the events leading them towards a chaotic future. For time would only reveal the struggles that lay ahead for them, they would be part of the changing in the world.


So what did you think? Please comment and let me know.

Now for the important question. Which house should I put Iris in? I am open to suggestions and seriously considering them. Please help me out with this or I'm just going to be stuck with nothing to write.

Thanks Bunches,
