Halloween 1981

Lily was watching James make bubbles in the air using magic for Charles and Harry. She was carrying their sleeping one month old daughter, Alicia.
Their twins, Charles and Harry looked a lot like James but Charles had Lily's red hair and Harry had her green eyes. Their youngest had James' hair and eyes but everything else was Lily's. She went upstairs to put Alicia in her crib in the bedroom she shares with her brothers and when she got back down she saw both of the twins yawning.

"I think it's time for the twins to get to sleep, don't you think so too?" Lily said as she went to pick up Harry.

"Yeah." James said chuckling while picking up Charles and placed his wand on the coffee table before he went up to put Charles in the crib as Lily finished putting Harry in the crib the twins shared.

After James put Charles in the twin's crib, he went down and suddenly the door was blasted open. "Its Voldemort, run Lily! I'll distract him take the children and get out of here!"

Lily went back into her children's room, barricaded the door with other furnishings in the room. She got Alicia and went to the twins and when she holded all three of them and tried to apparate out the house but couldn't. She then placed Alicia down in the crib with her brothers.

"Remember all three of you mummy and daddy loves you. Charles take care of your younger siblings be the responsible one. Harry you too watch over your big brother and baby sister. Alicia take care of your big brothers. All of you take care of each other and know that mummy and daddy loves you all." Lily said rapidly then the door was suddenly blasted open. She spun around stood there in front of her children with her arms wide open. "Please kill me instead, spare my children. I beg of you."

"Move girl, I'm only after the children."

"Spare them please, take my life instead"

"Move girl, I will not ask another time."

"Have mercy on them please, take my life instead."

"So be it. Avada kedavra!" Voldemort's curse killing Lily as she fell to the ground lifeless. He stepped over her and looked into the crib seeing the three children. Both twins were looking at him curiously and the youngest was crying loudly from the loud noise she heard. Not knowing which of the twins is the one chosen to defeat him. He chose to kill them both and decided to kill the younger one first.

"Watch as I kill your younger brother little Potter for you are next." He pointed his wand at the younger twin. "Avada kedavra."

Suddenly as the green light of the spell was about to hit the child it somehow deflected only leaving a lightning bolt wound on the middle of the child's forehead and hit him instead. He suddenly felt immense pain before he suddenly he was gone, leaving only his robes. As the spell backfired it affected the room as well and blasted off the roof of the room and a bit of the ceiling fell and hit Charles' in the middle of the forehead, making a 'V' shaped wound.

And that was beginning of the story Twins-who-lived...

Or so it was thought to be. ;p
