Two's trouble.

July 31, 1980**

It was a dark night when Lily Potter heard the first cry of her little one, she tightly grasped the hand of her husband who looked down at her with a smile."It's a boy', the mediwitch soon passed the boy to her as she saw the second love of her life,''...and now for the next one keep pushing!"

James wore a look of shock on his face, there was only supposed to be one baby, a boy. The prophecy was meant for both the Longbottoms child and theirs or was it? Lily, to tired to ask questions kept pushing until a loud cry ripped threw the once quiet room making her firstborn cry once again with two babies crying loudly it was hard for the parents to hear the,'' and she's a girl, lily they're beautiful"

''James?" Lily asked curiously, "Yes my love?" he replied distractedly while looking at his baby boy that was held tightly in his arms as if he let him go they would lose him forever. "whatever shall we name her?" A boy had been expected and named two weeks into her pregnancy, Harry James Potter but this girl was unexpected and so had no name. James looked up from his son and glanced at his beautiful daughter. "Hmm, How about Cassiopeia Lily Potter for you and a constellation named after a beautiful queen" Lily thought for a minute before shaking her head," Cassiopeia Euphemia Lily Potter, your mother would of loved Cass very much after all there hasn't been a witch born into the potter house for generations" James grins before leaning down and kissing Lilys forehead," I love it'

The mediwitch gathered her supplies and took her after explaining basic care of both the children and a tired Lily. Opening the door where anxious order members were waiting outside. Sirius took this as approval for entrance, He bounced inside like a giddy child before stopping when he spottedd two swaddles of cloth instead of one. His mouth hung open in surprise not even noticing the fact he was interrupting a very special moment he exclaimed,"Bloody hell theres two of them?''

James chuckled before handing Harry to him ,''Shut up and hold your godson"

Sirius smiled brightly before holding the infant and coo'ing down at the babe as the rest of the order entered, "Alice, Sirius i know we already discussed for Harry but would you mind being Cassiopeia's Godparents as well?" The witch who had just entered the room stepped forward before happily nodding and accepting Harry from Sirius as he held his god daughter. She looked into the chubby face of Harry Potter and hoped that one day after the wrath of Voldemort her son, Neville and Harry would be great friends just as their parents were.

Despite the chaos that was going on in the wizarding world and the friends and family they had lost, the three babies that had been born that week gave the Order hope and something else to fight for, the younger generation.

Alice and Frank quickly took their leave as they had left Neville with his grandmother to be able to see the birth of their good friends child or children, the unexpected daughter was a happy surprise.

Days later both families hid from the world because of a prophecy that threatened them all. For months they stayed hidden, they had few visitors but Sirius loved to come and spoil his godchildren it was much harder for the Longbottoms to visit as they had to hide themselves. He tried to visit twice a week for he knew his dear friends worried about the goings of Lord Voldemort and the Order and also because he loved his godchildren very much and wanted to see them as often as possible.

One night in late October when the twins were flying on brooms a new gift from Sirius and Cassiopeia was screaming to anyone who would listen ,"DADA watch!" or when Lily walked in folding the laundry, "MAMA Look!'' she exclaimed as she rose higher than aloud and darted around the room. Sirius had tears of laughter in his eyes as Harry scowled up at his little sister for he couldn't figure out how to go higher. Harry kept viciously whipping his broom upwards so hard that every time he would fall off. Cass kept squealing with joy every time she would fly over the head of her god father, she still was unable to pronounce Sirius or even Padfoot so she called him Paddy or she barked at him when she wanted him to transform so that she could take a ride on his back. Which was quite often because the girl loved his dog form always giving it kisses and exclaiming 'doggy!' whenever she saw him.

It wasn't long before Harry gave up with a ''Hhump" and crawled over to his mother who affectionally stroked his hair as she pulled the tired boy into her lap. Cass giggled again as the three adults looked up at her lovingly before she zoomed over to Sirius who grinned up at her before jumping off her broom with the exclamation,"Paddy Catch!" Alarmed he caught he at the last second before placing her in his lap with a laugh. She blew her curls out of her face before standing on his lap and placing two of her chubby hands on either side of his face and asking seriously, "Didja watch? Didja?" When he nodded his head she broke out a wide smile and kissed him right on the lips as she did with her parents. Looking at both of the children you would assume that only one belong to the Potters, you had Harry with his fathers hair and his mothers eyes and then Cassiopeia was a different story. She had a full head of long black ringlet type curls and striking grey eyes. Not before long both children were yawning and Sirius had to go. Lily offered to put the duo in bed as she knew the men wanted a chance to talk. She grabbed Harry in one arm and then picked Cass out of Sirius's lap before making the ascent up the stairs and into the nursery.

"How is it?" james asked as soon as his wife disappeared from view.

"Bad, we're dropping like flies if we don't win soon we never will" Sirius replied somberly as he took his leave,"There's another Order meeting tomorrow i'll drop by again and tell you what was said"

James nodded his head in agreement as his watched his friend walk down the path and apparate away, he stared at the place his best friend had just been for a few minutes in thought before another appeared taller than Sirius in dark robes he knew at once it couldn't be Sirius and became cautious. Closing the door and locking it before peering threw the window again. The stranger walked infront of a lamp post which lit up his face and he knew at once who it was.

Voldemort.

"LILY HE'S HERE PROTECT THE KIDS" James screamed before grabbing his wand and readying himself. Upstairs Lily locked the door and grabbed her wand there was no way out. The house had anti-apparition wards up that stopped even herself from leaving. She heard the door blast open downstairs and Lily gasped, this was the end.

"Expelliar-" "AVADA KEDAVRA" silent tears now ran down Lily's face as she knew that was the end of her husband. The twins openly cried as the door was broken open by Lord Voldemort himself.

"Now normally, I wouldn't hesitant to kill you but- one of my most loyal followers wants you so here's the choice you live but they die"

"Never kill me, spare my babies please" She wept and he got an annoyed look on his face before aiming his wand at the two cribs

"Avada-" Lily flung herself infant of the killing her for her two children,"Kedavra"

Tom felt his power leave his body as both he and lily fell to the floor she was instantly dead before his power to longer to leave smacking the two twins as it entered the universe the last thing he heard was two annoying toddlers scream for their parents.

Hours passed the the two babies tuckered themselves out from crying, Cassiopeia had climbed the barrier of their cribs where she plopped into Harry's crib and they soothed each other before sleeping intertwined. They weren't found for hours until Albus got news the Longbottoms had just narrowly escaped the clutches of Bellatrix and her gang of death eaters. Frank had almost bled to death and would permanently bear the scars of that night but he was thankful his child was ok for Alice was not. She would suffer nightmares for the rest of her life like a little bit of dark magic had seeped into her brain. Albus sent Hagrid to check on the Potters and deliver whoever was still alive though he doubted any, to him. Sirius also almost mad with worry drove to house and was shocked at what he saw. No more fiedulis charm, the house was open plain as day anyone could view it in the town and he saw the door in half and on its hinges.

He ran inside and dropped to his knees by his dead friends body, sobbing he knew that he failed the Potters. Peter Pettrigrew was true to his animagus form, he was a rat and he'd better be dead or else Sirius would do the job for him. Quickly running upstairs, He saw Hagrid with the twins in his arms and breathed a sigh of relief. He saw the corpses of Lily and Voldemort and he paled. Offering his motorcycle to Hagrid he sprinted away in search of the man responsible. Peter Pettrigrew.
