Chapter/Part: 1

Once upon a time there was a happily married couple. They weren't ordinary people though. Oh no far from it. It was a witch and wizard. Of course that's not the only reason why they weren't ordinary. They had about a handful of friends. They also had a baby on the way. This brought great happiness. These peoples name? Lily and James Potter.

James parents lived down the street from them. His cousin lived with his parents. Only when she wasn't off working for she was a hit witch. A hit wizard/witch was someone who kept all the bad guys at bay. They didn't get caught and they were fast at what they did. Hit wizards/witch are the top form of they reinforcement in the wizarding world. James was an Auror. Then Lily was a healer although she did help every now and then with the Auror. They were both good at there jobs. One of the best in their area. This then made them well respected.

Their friends were Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, Nymphadora Tonks, along with James cousin Hope Potter. Sirius was also a hit wizard. He was also one of the best ob the job. Remus couldn't find work a lot, for he was a werewolf. But he helped James grandfather when he need him. Tonks was also an Auror. Peter worked at the Ministry; he sorted stuff. Everyone of them were best of friends. They loved to joke around together and liked to be mysterious and play tricks. When two of them were fighting together the others would make them stop and they would sort it out together. When Lupin went into werewolf form either James or Sirius or Peter would turn into an animagus. James was a stag and Sirius was a dog they also had Peter who was a rat. They all had a nickname Peter was Wormtail, Sirius was Padfoot, James was Prongs and Remus was Moony.

James and Lily never visited Lily's sister. And her parents were dead. They had died 5 years before; when she was 15. Her sister was jealous but it wasn't like Lily was just going to abandon her gift. Petunia married a big man who hated anything with magic. Petunia ended up hating it to because she didn't have much of it. This put a strained relationship on her and Lily. They did however tell each other when they were pregnant. That was the first time they talked and it would be the last.

James family was way better. James loved his parents. Although he wasn't their only child. He had a brother. He use to love him too and he still did although neither acted like it. He also loved his grandfather well actually it was his great grandfather. His other grandfathers one was died no one know how that happened the other well he was alive but didn't come by much. His brother's name was Serverus. His grandfather Albus Dumbledore. Albus was the most masterful wizard alive. James parents names where Joel and Faith. He also had his cousin Hope and Jewel. Their parents had died from an accident when Hope was 12. Jewel wasn't around much. She was 20 when her parents died and had a boyfriend who she married. James loved all of his family dearly. (yes even Serverus) Family meant a lot to him. Serverus and him had ended in separate houses and acted like enemies.

There was an evil wizard who was second to Dumbledore in strength and power. Serverus went to him and that is why he and James were really enemies. But after two years he went to his grandfather and asked to be a spy for the light as they called it. He grandfather said yes as long as he apologized to his parents. He did that on bent knees. He was really sorry. He however did not say sorry to his brother for he was still mad at him.

The evil wizard was Tom Riddle. Although like most evil people did not go by his name. You see his father was a muggle. And Tom did not like muggles or half-breeds. A muggles were non-magic people. A half-bread is someone who was like Tom himself. He was born to a muggle and a witch/wizard. He went under the name Lord Voldemort. He was feared by almost everyone. Most didn't even say his name only who-who must-not-be- named or you-know-who some also said Dark lord. There were about a handful who did say Voldemort or Tom or Riddle. But not many.

Well it looked like Lily and James would have their child soon. In only a couple of hours as a matter of fact. It was July 30th and only a minute away from July 31st. She was at St. Mungo's. Only this time not as a healer but she was the one in the bed. It was rather weird. Besides her was James. He had just arrived because he was trying to talk to his brother. He figured it was times for amends. It did not go very good. Serverus was still being stubborn. Sirius was the godfather as Hope was the godmother. Remus and Tonks were to be like an aunt and an uncle. And Peter was also to be like an uncle. July 31st at two am Harry James Potter was born. Everyone waiting immediately fell in love with him. He was cute. James grandfather who never let much but a twinkle show was very excited. When James and Lily went home they had a surprise party from everyone.

After a few weeks everyone was in a routine. For Lily and James to both work they set it up so someone could be with Harry at all time. And it worked to avoid having a billon people over at once. Sirius would come on Monday. Hope Tuesday. Remus Wednesday. Tonks Thursdays. Then Lily was off in the morning on Fridays and James was in the afternoon. Peter would stop by on Fridays for a little bit. Saturdays was their free day from work and so everyone left them in peace. Then on Sundays James family exclude Serverus had lunch and/or dinner together. Sometimes they had both. It just depended.

Harry was a very well baby starting at his birth. He didn't fuss much and when he did he only wanted a toy or something of the same matter. Everyone loved to be by him he had a soothing arena. As time got busier and more diffcult they tried to be him as much as possibably. Harry 'understood that people were busy and the times was 'speeding up'. So he if no one gave him a toy because they forgot or he dropped it he'd keep quit and play with his fingers and toes.

As months went on the world was looking more threaten by the day. 'Voldie' was gaining power rapidly. He believed he was the Heir to Slytherin. Little did he know. But he did know who was the heir of Gryffindor. As he knew that Salazar Slytherin and Gordic Gryffindor fought and that started the beginning as the two families kept fighting. He wanted to be the one to end it by killing the heirs and wanted to get rid of all muggles. It was not that easy he needed a way to get to them. So he planned and planned until he thought it flawless and perfect. He went after James parents first and that misson was successful. James, Harry, Lily not so easy at first. Dumbledore was worried and put them in hiding. After a week Sirius who was the secret keeper got nervous and begged James and Lily to switch to Peter. They did not agree and said he should stay. He said no that he was not strong enough to keep their secrets if captured. Lily thought maybe they should switch ever week with someone new. That way no one except the one at the time knew and they would only know for a week. Only she didn't think Peter was a good choice. James thought similar but he didn't think they should even switch Sirius but he knew Sirius would beg and then he would say yes anyway so they agreed. They switched to Peter but told no one as there wasn't much time.

Only Dumbledore and (Sirius/) Peter could visit them. Peter came the day of the switch said hi and was gone again. They never say him again. Dumbledore tired to come once a week. Harry by that time was 15th months but very well behaved. He was smart too. He talked ,knew his abc's, and numbers.

Peter was with Voldemort all the time. He was his new buddy. His friends could not offer him what he wanted. Power and protection. Amazing what they could do and he wanted them. He loved his friends still though. They were the first to befriend him. But of course that wasn't enough. He didn't care if anyone got hurt as long as he didn't. He told Voldemort were James. Lily, Harry was. He did have a small heart although he didn't really want to have all his friends mad at him but he had no choice. Not if he want protection and power. On October 30th was the day he told. Voldemort and him stayed up and planned on the best attack until late. Then they set off to kill the last heirs (so he forgot one). October 31st with his men Voldemort apparated to Godric's Hollow. He then proceed to tell his troop to go kill everyone in the area. Whether awake or not. Then he walked to the property around the Potters house. He said joelandfaithgoodbye. Which was the password to get in.

Lily was upstairs getting Harry ready for bed. James was in the sitting room looking in a book. When he heard the doorbell. He thought it was odd that Peter or his grandfather would ring the doorbell. They always apparated in the house. So he looked out of the window. Who he saw was not who he wanted too. Peter was the traitor. That was a big blow. He yelled up to Lily to take Harry and run. Which Lily got ready to do and then she called on Dumbledore by a quick spell they set up. Then she pointed her wand at Harry and said a quick spell on him. James got his wand off the table just as Voldemort flung open the door. James not prepared fast enough after the shock heard two small words. "Avada Kedavra" Then his world was black. Voldemort proceed quickly up the step to where he could hear movement. He quickly opened the door and Lily grabbed her wand.

"I do not want to kill you. I want Harry. Move aside." Voldemort said.

"NO!"

"Then I must kill you." Quickly with the speed of light Lily raised her wand. But Voldemort was ready before her. She fell to the floor with her world black.

Harry was lying in his bed wondering what was going on. He could hear his mother screaming and so he screamed too. She had never screamed like that and he was very scared. Then he saw a guy at his crib. He had never seen him before. His eyes were red and they were slits. Before Harry could guess anything there was a green stream of light. After a moment of a little pain Harry saw the man crumble to the ground and then he disappeared. Harry was all alone. He would be along for alone time too.
