I don't own anything except Nicholas Potter, and Lauren Potter/Kay Malfoy.
FATAL MISTAKE- CHAPTER ONE- THE MISTAKE THAT ENDED IT ALL
The Potter family was looking happily at the three children in the room, one, only just getting there the day before, but they knew they would always love their firstborn child, Nicholas, more. The other two were just for his amusement, even though Nicholas and Harry were identical twins and Lauren was a year younger, but looked exactly like a girl form of them.
Then they heard a knock at the door. They knew the time had come for Voldemort to unintentionally mark one of their children as his equal, since they were all born in August, the other two could go to the Dursleys. They quickly Apparated away, leaving the children.
The door opened and a being (What? You can't call him a man after he frayed his soul like shredded cheese!) stepped into the house. He looked around and then cast a spell seeing if there were any people in the house. The spell told him there were three little children in the nursery.
He walked up the stairs and made his way into the nursery. He saw the three children and debated over which one to kill first. He decided to start with the youngest and go to the oldest, so he started with the girl, "Arvada kadava!" he said. The child looked at him weirdly but didn't slump over like they usually did. It gave her a scar that was shaped like a crescent moon, but he thought nothing of it, maybe it took a few minutes for it to kill a child this young. Unbeknownst to him the spell rebounded off the girl and was waiting for another to join it so it could attack its sender. He turned to the next youngest and repeated the spell. The spell again bounced off the boy's head, left a lightning shaped scar, and went to join its sister. The moment they met they became visible to the sender and rushed back at him. When they hit him the shockwave demolished the house, and when the mobile shattered, a piece of hot glass hit the oldest Potter child in the forehead and made a star shaped scar. The sender of the spells screamed and dragged himself out of the house.
The owners of the house came back with a man who's name was Dumbledore. He looked at the children, chose a little black haired boy with a star shaped scar, and said, "All hail the boy who lived, Nicholas Potter!"
The two other children were left in the nursery while the adults and Nicholas partied. Harry and Lauren were geniuses, and knew it. They could already speak English, Spanish, French, and made their version of sign language, they also had photographic memories, but they kept those facts to themselves, for they didn't want publicity, no, they wanted a loving family, which they were to get, one day.
There was also another wizard in another part of the country who was about Harry's age and could do all everything they could too. His name was Draco Malfoy.
THE NEXT NIGHT AT 11:45
"What are we supposed to do with them, James?" Lilly Potter said. "They'll only hold Nicholas back in learning magic!"
"We'll leave them with your sister, Petunia," James replied.
"Good idea! I'll contact Professor Dumbledore right away!" Lilly said.
TWO DAYS, 7 HOURS, AND 37 MINUTES LATER
Petunia Dursley walked outside to get the mail when she saw two little bundles on her doorstep. She held back a scream fit for a banshee and brought the two inside, forgetting the mail for now. She talked with her husband and decided to keep them.
FOUR YEARS, 10 DAYS, 13 HOURS, 28 MINUTES, AND SEVERAL BEATINGS FOR THE TWO LESSER KNOWN POTTER CHILDREN LATER
The dark lord had given Lucious Malfoy a job. And that job was to find the two abused, black haired, green eyed children that lived on Number 4, Privet Drive, and adopt them. He was dressed in a smart, black, suit, with a cane. He walked up to the door and knocked on it with his cane. A big, beefy, man, covered in blood came and answered it.
"Good evening, I am part of the child services committee, and I came here to check that everything is safe for um… Dudley Dursley. And that he isn't getting abused or malnourished," he lied smoothly eyeing the blood on his shirt.
"Oh, yes! Come right in! I was just making dinner for my wife, with my son. He splashed the bowl at me, little tike!" he chortled, disgusting Malfoy.
Malfoy checked a few things and went over to the cupboard under the stairs.
"What are you doing there?" the man said. "It's just an empty old cupboard!"
"It's standard procedure to look in every space that a child could get into."
The man blanched, knowing that Malfoy would find the two abused children.
Malfoy opened the door, startling the two children who were only four and five, but covered in bruises, bumps, scrapes, welts, burns, imprints, and pretty much every other kind of injury you can think of. He glared at the man turned to the two children, held out his hand, and said, "It's ok, and I won't let anyone hurt you anymore. Come with me and I'll put you in a better home."
The two looked at him, and then looked at each other and started signing back and forth, signing, 'Can we trust him?'-Harry 'I don't know, but he seems nicer than the Dursleys, he's not going to hit us right now.'-Lauren
Then they looked back at Malfoy and nodded, getting out one at a time as the door was only big enough for one.
Malfoy glared at the man once more, turned to leave, thought better of it, sent the kids outside, and turned back to the man. "My name is Lucious Malfoy. I am a wizard like your wife's sister, those two are magical too. Any other wizard might let you off with a warning. I am not any other wizard. CRUCIO!" the man screamed then fell silent, not dead, unconscious.
The wizard went out to the two children, smiled at them, grabbed one of their hands, muttered some words, and then Apparated to the front of a big, beautiful, mansion. "Welcome to your new home, I'm going to adopt you two. I have a son, Draco, he'll be your new brother," he said.
They signed, 'I hope he's not like Nicholas'-Harry. 'I think they'll be nice enough, Mr. Malfoy is' –Lauren.
They walked inside and looked around. Narcissa Malfoy and Draco Malfoy were standing in the hallway on the inside of the door. Narcissa took one look at the children, and got really angry at the Dursleys for how abused the children were. The two children took one look at her angry face and bolted. They were fast, faster than anyone thought that two children from the cupboard could be.
"Dobby, quick, come here! I need you to find the two children who ran and bring them back here!"
Dobby the house elf popped up beside the two running children, effectively scaring them out of their wits.
"Hello, Harry and Lauren!" Dobby said. "I's Dobby the house elf! Dobby came to tell you that Mrs. Malfoy wasn't mad at yous, she was mad at the Dursleys for treating yous like they did. She only wants to be your friend!"
They signed back and forth, 'Can we trust that they won't hurt us?'-Harry. 'We'll have to, otherwise we won't have any food' –Lauren.
"We're sorry we ran like that, it's just that, Uncle Vernon would get that look on his face before he started beating us," Harry told him.
"Come, Dobby will gets you two back home," Dobby said.
They held onto Dobby and he popped back to the living room of Malfoy Manner.
"Dobby gots them, sir! Dobby gots the children!" Dobby said to Lucious.
"Good, Dobby, go make us some dinner," he said.
The two potter children were standing quietly in the doorway looking apologetic. Harry spoke for the first time in front of them. "We're s-s-sorry, it's just, Uncle Vernon would get the same l-l-look on his face that you did when he would h-h-hit us! Y-y-you won't hit us, will you?" he asked, Lauren sniffled quietly, waiting for the, 'Get over here you little maggots so that we can punish you correctly!'
But it never came, instead, Narcissa said, "Oh, you poor babies! Why don't we go to the kitchen so that we can get you in the tub and get your wounds fixed?"
That seemed like a bad idea to them because they immediately started backing away and when they were about at the door Draco spoke for the first time to them.
"Why are you running away? Mother only wants to help you. She really will make your pain go away," he asked.
"It won't be with boiling water will it? You aren't going to hurt us more, are you?" Lauren asked frantically.
"No, no, no, I'll do it in the most painless way possible. You don't have to worry about that," Narcissa said surprised that she would think like that. "First off, my name is Narcissa Malfoy, but you can call me Aunt Cissa. This is my husband, Lucious Malfoy, but you can call him Uncle Cious. And this is my son, Draco."
"I'm Harry Potter, I guess, but you can call me Harry. My parents abandoned me at my aunt's house when we were little because they loved our brother more," Harry said.
"My name is Lauren Potter, I guess, but you can call me Lauren. My story is the same as Harry's and he is 5 and I am 4," Lauren said.
"Well, Lauren and Harry Potter, welcome to your new life."
