This is my first Fan fiction story and I really hope you enjoy it. Review so I can answer any questions about it and so I can make my story better. I hope you enjoy, The Light and Dark Potters...
It was 1981 Halloween. It was quiet and peaceful. Lavenders and Violets swaying in the wind, waiting for the sun to hit here beautiful petals again. A dark figure was striding menacingly down to Godrics Hollow, his purpose, to murder the Potter the family.
One of this man's most loyal followers, Peter Pettigrew had given him the whereabouts of the Potters safe house. And now the Potters would die at Peter's betrayal.
A prophecy had been made, a prophecy foretelling his downfall. A boy would be marked as a powerful equal. He was just a small boy, and it would be simple to dispose of him now.
He reached the outside of the house and cast an anti-apparition shield to stop the family from escaping his grasp.
Immediately James and Lily Potter came bursting out of the front door and throwing spells at the dark wizard. He easily dodged the spells and let them evaporate in the dark night sky behind him.
"Lily go inside, I'll deal with Voldemort" Lily silently nodded and went inside. James turned around to face a very powerful enemy. "Give up now and your death will be quick and painless." Voldemort laughed evilly at his wasted bravery. "You really think you can defeat me, I'm the most powerful wizard in your time." At that Voldemort started throwing very dark spells at James he tried to muster the most powerful shield charm he could think of. It rebounded a few spells, but when Voldemort casted the Crucio Curse at him it instantly broke the shield.
Voldemort stormed past a screaming James begging for the curse to be lifted. He had his wand out in attack position expecting to be attacked by Lily. He blasted open each of the doors to find an empty room.
He approached the last door, he prepared himself for the onslaught of spells he sent a powerful spell at the door sending wood chimps everywhere. He walked inside the room and waiting for the smoke the disappear. Inside he found a very frightened Lily Potter pointing her wand at his nose in a very defensive manner. In her arms she had to small children and by Voldemort prediction should be around two months old. "What do you want from us?" sneered Lily."I want to kill your boy and maybe your second child as well, I'm sure Dumbledore has told you of the prophecy, to think a boy would defeat me." They started conjuring powerful curses at each other until Lily was blasted backwards with a powerful curse and hit the wall behind and the battle ended with Lily's head bleeding profusely.
Voldemort approached the two crying child snarling at them as he hate the idea of a mudblood and a pure blood getting married, it was disgusting.
The first one, which he presumed was Harry Potter, had black hair with emerald eyes; he was much like his muggle loving father, despicable. He moved to the second child, it had longer hair than Harry so he presumed she was a girl. She was quite beautiful for a half blooded Potter. They both looked around the age of two months old.
He sensed a dark aura in both of them but more so in the girl. He was going to kill Harry Potter for good, but take the girl, and train her to become a dark witch.
He raised his wand high in the air to cast the killing curse. 'AVADA KEDAVRA!' The green curse flew in the air towards the small boy. Two full body shields surrounded the children. Harry and his twin sister had shared the magical burden to protect each other. The shields were to different shades of blue one darker than the other. Full body shields had only ever been cast by Dumbledore and Voldemort. And for two children so young, it was near impossible.
Lily started to stir and get restless so Voldemort took the twin of Harry Potter and apparated away, to where she would never be found. So Voldemort left the Potter's in ruins with a broken family and destroyed home. After he left he lifted Crucio Curse of James before Potter Sr. passed out.
Lily slowly woke up and looked around wondering why she was on the floor. Until it all come flowing back to her. Voldemort attacked her family and knocked her out in a duel.
The back of her head hurt, a lot. She slowly touched her head to find her hand covered in blood. She must have a concussion she would get that sorted out later with a medi-witch. Because right now she just wanted to see Harry and Amy, her two children. Only two months old, no one that age should have to endure a battle against the darkest wizard in this century. "Harry, Amy!" Lily heard a small crying baby over by the cot. She rushed over to find Harry with a deep gash across his forehead in the shape of a lightning bolt. She picked up her child as any mother would, but she was still franticly searching for Amy. She listened for any crying or any sign of another life form. She went to find James to help her look for her only daughter. She carried Harry down stairs to find him.
"James!" screamed Lily "Where are you?"
"Over here" a tired voice said. Lily rushed over to him to find him covered in scratches and looked to be in much pain.
"Where's Amy" he questioned.
"I don't know, I searched all of upstairs and nothing!" Lily screamed.
"Well don't yell at me I had nothing to do with this attack!"James yelled back.
"How dare you, HOW DARE YOU! You tell me you had nothing to do with this attack. I've just lost my daughter, and somehow I feel we could have done something else, my son is dying and who knows what Voldemort is or has done to Amy. And all you can do is tell me not to yell at you. You're just standing there not doing anything. Your children are just two months old. I'm surprised they survived this little battle let alone anything else. And until you bring my daughter home I will stay angry at you."
James started to walk out the door when Lily said "Where are you going, Potter" she spat.
"To find my daughter" and at that 'POPPED' away from Godrics Hollow to bring his daughter back home.
A couple minutes later Sirius, Remus and several aurors apparated to the Potters home to assist them. When the arrived they were all devastated to find how ruined their home was. The home was very nearly burnt to the ground. There had obviously been a big battle between Voldemort and the two adults.
Remus and Sirius rushed inside to find their friends. "James, Lily are you in here?" A tired looking Lily walked slowly over to them; in her arms was a small little Harry with a strange lightning cut on his head. "What's with the cut on Harry's head?" Sirius blatantly stated to Lily, she started to look uncomfortable.
"I don't know I woke up from the battle and there it was. I think it will just go away after its healed like most scars do, but I agree with you Sirius, it is in a very strange shape."
"Where's Amy?" Remus quietly said. The look in Lily's eyes, was awful, Lily sighed and then started to explain how the fight took place, and how she and James fought bravely but were unsuccessful in protecting their children, then she told the about fight between her and James after the battle and that James had gone to find Amy and bring her home.
There was silence, and the only sound was the aurors going through the home for the last time. Then Remus broke the silence between the two Marauders and Lily by saying, "Lily, I'm sure we will find Amy for you, and that she is safe."
"You don't know what it feels like Remus, to lose a child, and especially a child so young."
"Lily don't give Remus a hard time, he's just trying to help make it easier." Said Sirius.
"No, you can't help me in any way, because I've lost a child to the darkest wizard of our time, and I can't do anything while I'm just standing here arguing with you two." Lily's sad eyes told them that she was right, and until she was willing to let them help, her heart was sealed up tight.
Harry started to cry as if on cue. Sirius took his godson and rocked him to sleep; while Lily walked away praying that her little Amy was alright.
9 months later
Lily had not heard anything from James in nine months, and was starting to get worried. He had left in such a hurry and she was having so many emotions at the time, she didn't even think to ask where he was going. She had struggled to deal with the parting of the youngest twin and had been offered help by St Mungos and Dumbledore, but she disagreed because she wanted to deal with it herself and with her husband.
She was in the kitchen cooking pancakes for her and Harry. Harry had gotten bigger and regularly went to the Wesley's and Longbottoms home to play with them and learn the ways of Quidditch, although Sirius tended to do that a lot as well. Harry was nearly one year old now ands well on his way to walking and was starting to talk, and once he could do those things she planned on teaching him the very basics of potion brewing as she was the potions teacher at Hogwarts.
Harry crawled into the kitchen, following his flying toy hippogriff, he got it after James left, because Lily was spoiling him lots due to missing Amy and her husband. James planned on buying him a small broom that only flew a few feet off the ground for his first birthday, but now she wasn't sure James would even be her for his first birthday. Their family was so broken up and ruined all because of Voldemort and that stupid prophecy Dumbledore had told them about.
Voldemort had not shown his face around the wizarding world for the last couple months, and people were beginning to think that he had given up. The newly graduated Rita Skeeter had been spreading many rumours about the Potters saying that James had joined the Death Eaters and that Amy was indeed dead. Although Lily did not believe that James had joined the Death Eaters, she hated to admit for many reasons but stupid Rita Skeeter may be right about Amy and that she was most likely dead.
Harry finally grabbed the toy when the Potters home owl, Ferris, flew in and landed gracefully on the dining table."Ferrwis!"Harry gurgled joyfully at the beautiful brown owl.
Ferris had huge eyes that barely fit the birds face. He was fairly large and was young so he could send and give notes very fast and easily. He was a gift from Sirius to the Potters just before Harry was born. Each night he would fly around the house each night to check if each one of the family members were there and lately had had been getting very stressed and worried that James and Amy weren't around.
"Get off the table you silly bird; we tend to eat on that." Lily said sarcastically whilst throwing her arms in the air trying to get Ferris to move. Ferris hooted in annoyance at her before doing a poo on the table and flying up stairs to the owlery.
"Darn bird." Lily muttered to herself. Harry started to crawl up the staircase to Ferris before Lily stopped to tickle him and put him in his highchair.
"You're not getting away from the tickle monster, Harry" Lily smirked in an evil smile but in a funny way. Harry laughed and crawled as quickly as he could away from his mum before she got to him."Muhaha, I've got you now Harry" Lily giggled before blowing raspberries into his tummy and placing a very smiley Harry into his highchair.
"Now, would you like bacon or eggs young man?" Lily asked Harry.
"Bacoon plase mama" Harry tried to say.
"Here you go nice fresh bacon."
"Thanku mama"
Lily was still very upset that she couldn't spend this time with Amy but she tried to hide it as she didn't want to give harry this burden as well. Lily would cry nearly every night into her pillow wishing for her family to be complete once again.
When she was thinking about the awful things of her past and the night her family was broken, 'oh, that awful night' she thought. The fire place in the living room turned green and Albus Dumbledore's head poked through the flames."Lily are you in here? It's urgent." he yelled.
"Yes Albus, over here eating breakfast with Harry." Lily walked over to the fire pit to talk more front on with the Hogwarts headmaster. He looked worried which was very rare for the headmaster considering he was usually clam and not worried about the simple things "What is it, what's wrong?"
"Hogwarts has been breached and the shields are down, Voldemort is attacking Hogwarts!"
"I'm on my way!" she said while running towards Harry to take him to the Wesley's.
Twenty minutes earlier
"Welcome to Hogwarts children" the headmaster said."As most of you should know, I'm the headmaster of Hogwarts but you may call me Professor Dumbledore" Dumbledore's eyes were sparkling in the light and the professors and students were all excited to start the year at Hogwarts. "The Sorting will begin soon and I hope you all enjoy the meal afterwards." Everyone turned to face the door to see the first years enter the hall. All of them were red at all the attention they were getting and were all silently walking to the end of the hall not wanting to experience the wrath of McGonagall on their first day at Hogwarts. "Oh you may not think me pretty, But don't judge on what you see, I'll eat myself if you can find A smarter hat than me. You can keep your bowlers black, your top hats sleek and tall, For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat And I can cap them all. There's nothing hidden in your head The Sorting Hat can't see,
so try me on and I will tell you where you ought to be. You might belong in Gryffindor, Where dwell the brave at heart, Their daring, nerve, and chivalry Set Gryffindors apart; You might belong in Hufflepuff, Where they are just and loyal, Those patient Hufflepuffs are true And unafraid of toil; Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw, if you've a ready mind, Where those of wit and learning, Will always find their kind; Or perhaps in Slytherin You'll make your real friends, Those cunning folks use any means To achieve their ends. So put me on! Don't be afraid! And don't get in a flap! You're in safe hands (though I have none)
For I'm a Thinking Cap!" The older students clapped for the Sorting Hat while the younger ones were literally shaking in fright of this giant hat. Most of them thought that it was going to eat them especially the muggleborns.
One by one the first years went up for their turn to be sorted into their houses. Finally the last students name was called "William Weasley." McGonagall said so everyone could hear. Bill Weasley stood up proudly and walked up to the stool and sat down to be sorted."Ah, now this is a difficult one, not Slytherin to much bravery, not Hufflepuff far to smart, so it's Gryffindor or Ravenclaw. I think I'll put you in, Gryffindor!" The Gryffindor table clapped loudly for their new student and patting Bill on the back.
The students were all chatting loudly and enjoying their new family in their houses, when they heard a loud 'bang' on the roof. The hall was silent, Dumbledore and some of the other professors and prefects stood up with their wands at the ready. When all of a sudden the was a very loud roar and at least forty death eaters blew open the door and started throwing curses left, right and centre and at the back of the group was a handsome black haired man with red eyes, it was Tom Riddle or otherwise known as Lord Voldemort.
Albus Dumbledore fired curse after curse after curse, to as many death eaters as he could, protecting students from killing curses and other Unforgivables.
He grabbed all the chocolate frog cards as he could and communicated to all the people in the Order of the Phoenix. Until he reached Lily Potter, she was not answering so he ran over to the fireplace dodging curses and apparating aurors and order members whilst firing curses of his own. It was chaos. "Lily, are you in here?"
End of Flashback.
Lily Potter came tumbling out of the Hogwarts fireplace to find a major battle between Death Eater; Prefects from all houses, except some Slytherin, Aurors, members from the order and all the Hogwarts Professors. And right in the middle of it all was Lord Voldemort the man that killed her daughter, broke apart her family, took away her husband and destroyed so many people's lives and she was going to kill him for it.
Lily Potter ran at a speed she never thought she had and started throwing so many curses she could barely keep up with herself. But Voldemort saw the spells coming and blocked them with a full body shield. But he also had two other people firing curses at him, Dumbledore and, James Potter.
Lily planned on giving him a piece of her mind once she was finished with this little battle between Voldemort. Voldemort started to struggle keeping up with all the curses being fired at him bone breaking curses, killing curses, Crucio curse, body binding and many other things being fired at him from every direction until finally he was hit with a body binding, some of the death eaters saw this and stopped but only a few.
In the background two figures in black clocks burst out of the battle screaming "Father" they were about twenty years of age and started also throwing curses and Unforgivable's the second child took off the body binding curse and took Tom Riddle away. "Fall Back" he yelled the Death Eaters started summoning brooms and running out the door to disparate. After about ten Deaths Eaters were caught after the retreat, Dumbledore sent letters to all the parents and called an order meeting.
"Albus what did those Deaths Eaters mean by 'father'?" Minerva questioned. Dumbledore was a smart wizard and also wise but he was not even sure himself, the Deaths Eaters in question were powerful, considering it was hard to break a body binding curse if you hadn't placed it on the enemy yourself. They obviously cared for Tom more than just a leader and more of a father figure. "Minerva, I don't even know myself let alone can I tell you" Dumbledore calmly said. "It also so seems that this attack was planned out very well because Voldemort's death eaters have not attacked anything in months." Everyone looked like they were all contemplating the idea of the reason he attacked Hogwarts. The school had many secret passage ways, artifacts and other ancient things that could be of much worth to Tom Riddle. "Dumbledore, what if one of us tried to infiltrate the Death eaters?" Mad Eye asked. Dumbledore knew this would be a very dangerous mission, and if the spy failed they would be tortured and then killed. "It's a very dangerous mission Moody, and they would have to be brave and experienced in the Dark Arts." Dumbledore looked around at all the puzzled faces of the people in the order. All seemed to be contemplating the thought of who could infiltrate the Death Eaters and maybe even suffer for it.
After further discussing the spy. The Order of the Phoenix dispersed and went back to there normal lives. "See ya later Prongs" waved Sirius. Sirius turned around and smirked as he knew James was in for a beating from Lily. "JAMES POTTER! , where have you been for the last nine months might I ask?!" James slowly turned around with a lopsided grin on his face. Lily was storming up to him with a very angry frown. "Well, stop looking at me like that with that stupid grin, you have left me to look after your son for the last nine months. And did you even know that he is now talking and walking? And I've been worried sick, and we were supposed to get through losing Amy together." She was no yelling but instead she was now crying into her hands. "Lily" James whispered "it's going to be alright, I promise"
"How can you say that James, Amy's gone and we have no way of knowing that she's alright, it's just to hard to be happy all the time and not show my feelings to Harry." She looked up from her hands with teary eyes, until she went back to crying.
"Shhh, It's going to be alright Lily" James said while rubbing her back. "I have something that might cheer you up, let's go collect Harry from the Long-bottoms and I tell you what I've discovered."
"OK" she said whilst wiping away some tears and nodding to her husband. And then they disapparated to collect their oldest son from the Lovegoods home.
"How are you doing my boy?" James asked Harry. They had gone home to their home.
Now that Godrics Hollow had been destroyed and held to many bad memory's they had decided that they would by a new home with a larger back yard where they could play Qudditch and have more areas to play in. "Good Dada, You doin' well too?"
James smiled at his handsome boy with his beautiful emerald eyes. "I'm doing very well thank you Harry."
"Good, down please" James carefully put down Harry, then he ran off to play with his Ferris. "He's so beautiful James, he's growing up so fast" Lily said whilst watching her little boy run off down the hall calling Ferris' name.
James and Lily Potter were glad that although there little Amy was gone they felt like they were moving on. "Lily sit down I need to tell you something." They went into the living room and sat down to talk. "Lily, for the last nine months, I've been looking into You Know Who and I think I know why he might of taking Amy. I believe she may be still alive." Lily stared wide eyed at her husband in whom she loved so much. She had dreamt about this day ever since she had lost Amy to that evil man. "Now, I don't want to get your hopes up..." Lily ran into James' arms.
"Oh, I feel so stupid telling you off about leaving me. Do you know what this means, we're going to be a family again!" She joyfully yelled.
"Lily please, I don't know if I can find her again." Lilly's smile faded and became sad once again. "Oh no, I shouldn't have let her out of my sight, I should have been more careful, she's only two months old." Lily started to hyperventilate because she wasn't breathing whilst blaming herself so much. "Lily calm down" Lily stared at James like she did when they fought nine months ago.
Before she could start another fight, before Dumbledore burst through the fire place." "James, Lily we have found something" they both stood up in excitement before they saw the sadness on Dumbledores face. "Come with me please"
James and Lily both flooed to a dark house. It was tall and black with no lights inside. Several of the order members were crowded around something. But when they approached Lily turn and ran crying like she'd never cried in her life. James broke down in tears, because there in small rags, was the body of Amy Lily Potter.
