Chapter 1: The first encounter
Lily potter was pacing, her and her husband James potter had just had a second encounter with Voldemort which they had barely escaped if it hadn't been for Dumbledore. Lily and James and other members of the order had been creating distractions for Voldemort and his death eaters so that they could keep him away from their son harry. This pattern had been going on for about 10 months now. Before Harry was born a prophecy had gone round telling of Voldemort's downfall at the hands of a boy born at the end of July.
Dumbledore had informed the order and with some extra work on his part he had come to the conclusion that it was the potters who would give birth to 'the chosen one'. Unfortunately somehow so had Voldemort and he was determined to destroy the child that could bring about his death? So Voldemort sent his death eaters after them. Lily and James potter had gone into hiding and with the help of Dumbledore, they casted all types of protection spells they could think of on their son and even others that were close to them.
When harry had been born, the first encounter came shortly afterwards with Voldemort. They had been staying with friends for month now in a village called mewed and only a select few people had known about it. The village was perfect as it was near deserted. All of 7 families lived in the village, Lily and James had never found out why. Epidos flaunt was happy to invite the potters in to his home, he went to school with them and lily had helped him get his potions newt so he was on good terms with them and was happy to help.
He lived with his wife Marta and their son and daughter, Emerson and Ingrid. They were a happy little family. Epidos was also a member of the order so he knew the potters must have been feeling awful at that fact that the darkest wizard of all time was after their baby who was barely a month old. Ep knew He had to help.
Especially if little harry would one day defeat you know who. So he had suggested once he was born for the potters to stay with him. He had personally gone to Dumbledore, he trusted the other members of the order but anyone of them could turn their back on the side of light. It was war, it had happened already on both sides.
Dumbledore had agreed knowing the location of where ep lived was populated with few people and they were muggles. Dumbledore couldn't see why there would be any spies or death eaters in mewed. They had approached the potters with this and the tired James and 8 months pregnant lily had agreed. They had told Sirius, Remus and Peter. The only people they would trust with that kind of information. James said they would never tell a soul to Dumbledore.
In the month they had spent with the Flaunts, Lily was happy and sad. There was a chance that herself, harry and James would never get what they had. The chance to be a family. She appreciated greatly the hospitality they were showing her and her husband and child. Marta was with great with young Harry; she had experience with kids and was giving Lily tips on how to deal with temper tantrums and the works. Ep and James had gotten to know each other better too. Apparently they both had a love for quidditch. 'Men and their sports, even in a time of war their thinking about it' Lily had thought but it gave her something to smile about in the problems she was facing so she didn't comment on their bonding techniques.
Ep worked at ministry of magic in the department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes. He was qualified to be an auror but he preferred fixing the wackiness that magic had to offer in the form of an accident as long as it wasn't permanent. He had just come home from a particular long day after a young wizard had somehow swapped everybody part around of their next door neighbour for insulting them. He had apparated home and could immediately tell something was wrong.
The village had an eeriness that any grown wizard could sense wasn't good. There were only 7 families there but he knew that it wasn't quiet that was the problem. Ep with drawled his wand from his robes and made his way quickly but calmly to his home. When he arrived at the door his heart leaped in his chest.
The door was slightly ajar and there was a scorch mark that suggested someone had blasted their way through the fresh hold. Panic was rising in Ep now, he wasn't sure what he was about to walk in on. Ep took a deep breath and pushed the door ready to battle anyone who was trespassing in his home. When walked he was shocked the entire house was in a tip as the muggles would say but there was no one in sight.
It was clear that a battle had taken place there were marks on the walls all over of where spells had missed the intended target, but he couldn't see anyone. He called out for his wife and children but got no reply he then called out to the potters hoping they were alive but there was still no reply. Epidos flaunt was frantically running around the house looking for any sign of life but could not find anyone.
He was about to go ask the neighbours when a green flame appeared in the living room fireplace and could see his wife's head poking through.
"Marta thank god, are you alright? Where are the kids? Where are the potters? What happened? Is Harry…?" He rushed to his distraught looking wife not being able to finish his sentence.
"Ep calm down, were all fine" she said in an oddly calm voice "you know who attacked us. James fought him allowing me Lily to get the kids out but James got hurt real bad though. It's not permanent. He's getting fixed up now, I don't think he thought about killing James that much he just wanted harry. It's probably why James is alive." She finished with a grim smile.
Ep let out a breath he hadn't realised he'd been holding. It was a troubling thought to know that the darkest wizard of all time had been in his home and attempted to kill an innocent baby and yet he had failed but James had been injured. It was probably pure adrenaline that kept James fighting for his son. He would haft to thank him for fighting 'Him' it meant that his family weren't hurt as well as his own. He wondered what types of injuries had fallen on him that he was still alive after all you know wasn't just any wizard; you didn't just get the title the darkest wizard of all time for nothing.
Ep was glad nothing permanent had happened but he was also angry he couldn't understand how you know who had found out about the potters staying with him. He was also now scared as his location had been discovered which meant he couldn't go to work in case one of you know who's spies got to him and eventually the death eaters looking for information. he and his family would haft to go in to hiding just like the potters and the Longbottom's. They needed to go into hiding too as their son was born at the end of July and although Dumbledore told the order it was the potters who would have the chosen one, you know who could easily have Neville killed if the prophecy ever needed a substitute or they were wrong about harry. Magic worked in mysterious ways.
Epidos didn't mind though he knew that you know who wouldn't concern himself with him, he wasn't after the Flaunts. He still couldn't understand how he had known to come too mewed. That thought bugged him, he hadn't told anyone except Dumbledore and the potters only told their three closest friends in case they needed back up. He knew Lily and Marta didn't say anything and his son and daughter were 10 and 8 they were old enough to understand instructions that were critical. Ep knew Dumbledore wouldn't say anything. And others that knew were Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew. Was possible that one of these men could be a spy 'no not possible their best friends and have been since Hogwarts' Ep thought
Why would one of James's best friends betray him like that? Ep pinched himself for thinking like that.
Ep had been thinking for a while, that he didn't realise his wife was still in the fire. He had come out his daze and listened to the instructions his wife gave to him from Dumbledore. He was to perform the cleaning and then grab his and his family's possessions and then leave the lights on and do the smoke charm on his chimney and then flame over to the order. Ep followed these instructions and flamed over.
Once he arrived at the headquarters of the order he could tell that the atmosphere was thick. The entire order was in the facility and were all arguing with each other. He could see Remus, Sirius and Peter in the corner all arguing. Ep wasn't focused on this; he was looking for his wife and children. He couldn't see them anywhere. He had bumped into someone and saw Arthur weasley who had been arguing with Fabian Prewett. Arthur looked at the worried expression on Ep's face and told him upstairs. Ep straightaway went up the stairs; he knew that his wife and children were upstairs. He went up the stairs two at a time and saw his wife.
"Marta" he said with a sigh of relief. He dropped the trunk with their things and ran to her embracing her in a long hug. When Ep let her go he switched from his relieved to serious face. He still had a grip on her arms and said "Tell me what happened".
Marta went into the story how the kids had been playing with little harry in the room the potters had been staying in, whilst the adults were talking in the front room. When a blood curdling scream was heard coming from outside. James had acted on instinct and looked outside from the window. He had seen a body on the floor and someone screaming over it, as well as a figure in a black cloak standing there looking down at the scene. It was then that the figure had raised their hand with a wand and shot a jet of green light at the woman, he assumed by screaming. James knew this wasn't any death eater the energy radiating from kill was powerful that it could reach through the walls. The figure began to walk towards the house and he knew why. It was Voldemort coming for Harry.
James acted he told Lily and Marta to get the kids and retreat to the order.
Lily knew that James was being serious and grabbed Marta and ran to the room where the children were. Lily picked up Harry and Marta grabbed Emerson and Ingrid and ran out. They had reached the fireplace and Marta and the kids disappeared when Marta screamed "The Order Headquarters". James looked out the window and noticed that Voldemort was by the gate of the house. He turned around to see Lily still standing there and ran to her and kissed her then kissing harry on the head before telling her to go. Lily had tears in her eyes but did as she was told and did the same as Marta and left but before she did she noticed the door had been blasted open and there stood Voldemort smirking, at James potter.
Marta had finished the story.
Epidos Flaunt was shocked. His wife had told him that you know who had killed muggles in the street and went to their home to kill Harry potter whilst James potter fought him off and somehow managed to survive. He knew Marta had said this about half an hour ago in the fire but it really hadn't registered until now. Marta went on to explain about when she arrived at the order.
She had found Alastor moody and began to tell her what had happened. Alastor immediately jumped into action and called the rest the order over. It was only a few minutes when a distraught looking Lily arrived with baby Harry. Remus instantly went to her and Marta told her to go upstairs and they did so. When the order had returned there was chaos. James had been injured and was losing a lot of blood. St Mungo's healers were called immediately and arrived just as fast too.
James was brought upstairs in a spare room and was being treated. Lily had gone to her husband and left harry with her. She had explained to Ep that was about two hours ago. The kids and Harry had fallen asleep by then.
Ep couldn't believe it. He had put two and two together if Alastor hadn't acted when he did you know who would have killed James. He went to the room James was in and slowly opened the door. He saw him lying on the bed motionless, drained of colour but could see the rise and fall in his chest which suggested he was alive. He could see Lily sitting right beside him bent over holding his hand. He could only see the back of her but could tell she was praying that James would wake up. Ep slowly closed the door he wouldn't disturb her now.
Ep told his wife he was going downstairs and that she should get some rest. When he came downstairs he had pulled Arthur aside again and asked what happened after they went to mewed.
"We got there and as Dumbledore arrived you know who ran for it, darkest wizard all time but could still leg it faster than a five legged chicken" Arthur finished with bitter laugh.
"He apparated?" Ep asked slightly pale
"No he did some show off spell that had everyone off their feet and left out the door" Arthur stated
"Any who some of the others and myself went out the door to check out the rest of the village and we found two bodies a Mr. Mallard and Mrs. Mallard everyone else was fine." Arthur said in a grim tone but continued "The other muggles were out so memories had to be modified whilst the others took James back to the order. He finished sadly
"And did you find anything?" Ep asked his voice barely above a whisper.
"Yeah we did" Arthur said looking uncomfortable.
"What?" He asked rather impatiently
"We found Imara, Ep, we found your sister."
