Hey readers! This is only my second fic, so tell me what you think. Sorry about Dragon Guardians, but those updates may start coming REALLY slowly. Still looking for any ideas for the story. If you want to tell me just put it in a review for any of my stories. So here's the new story!
Chapter 1 – Betrayed No More
"Everything worked perfectly." Wormtail though to himself. He had just been made the Potter's secret keeper instead of that dog Black. Peter continued muttering as he ran from the Potter's house, straight to Voldemort. He cursed at the wards they had set up to prevent anyone from apparating in or out. "Master will be quite happy with me." He was just about to leave the wards when five figures suddenly held him back. The figures were still hidden in partial shadows.
"Already running off to your Master Wormtail? Why don't you stay for awhile and we can talk. INCARCEROUS!" The voice shouted powerfully.
Peter saw the ropes fly from the wand and wrap around his body, tying him tightly. Peter fell to his knees and watched the figures approach. The first to step into the light was James. His wild black hair looked menacing in the semi-darkness. To his left Lily stepped from the shadows, green eyes narrowed at Peter. To Lily's left, Albus Dumbledore stepped from the shadows. The twinkle in his eye had vanished and an odd power seemed to be held there, waiting to be let out. On James's other side, Remus and Sirius both stepped into the light. The looked at him angrily and held their wands at Peter.
James reached down and pulled Peter's wand from his robe pocket. "Wouldn't want you running off again now would we?" James said sarcastically. "Now Albus, would you mind taking his privilege of being our secret keeper?"
"Of course. Stand back." Dumbledore pulled his own wand from his pocket and pointed it at Peter. He began muttering a spell and a moment later Peter felt a painful tug at his mind, quickly followed by a headache. "It is done. Now you can allow someone else to be your secret keeper, someone you can trust. I will finish with Pettigrew."
Peter watched in silence as his former friends disappeared into the darkness once again. He turned and his last memory was Dumbledore muttering another spell.
Ten Years later
"Happy Birthday Harry!" The gathered friends shouted to Harry. It was July 30th, the day before Harry's birthday, and Lily and James had decided to hold his party today. James and Lily both smiled at Harry as he blew out his candles. Just yesterday he had received his Hogwarts letter and just the plain letter brought back memories for the two, and a few smacks on the head for James for pranks he pulled on Lily.
The party continued late into the evening until one family was left. Harry and Ron Weasley were both soaring around the backyard. Yes, Harry already knew Ron and they were both going to Hogwarts this year. Both of the kid's parents smiled happily as they watched them soar happily around the yard on their Nimbus brooms, laughing while throwing a tennis ball back and fourth.
The two boys had been friends for about two years now, first meeting at Diagon Alley. Hogwarts was about to start and the Weasley's were shopping for school supplies. They happened to run into the Malfoy's and a fight quickly began approaching. Lily had to jump between Arthur and Lucius to keep them from destroying half of Diagon Alley. Afterwards the Potter's and Weasley's shopped together, allowing the kids to go get some ice cream. Here Harry and Ron quickly became friends, and still were to this day.
Ron did occasionally have jealous moments about Harry and his family's wealth. Ron's family was not well off, but they managed. The parents were just about to leave when they heard a giggle behind them. Lily was the first to see what it was and when she did she was on her feet in moments.
Hovering four feet above the ground was the youngest Potter. Jess Potter was currently ten and had inherited her father's mischief streak. She was constantly seen running from one of the other older Potter's, mostly her older brother lately, with her long black hair flowing behind her. Even for a ten year old she was quite pretty.
Jess became very jealous of Harry when he got his Hogwarts letter and had made Harry her main target for pranks. Lily did have to admit, the young girl was a prank genius. She had managed to plant a dungbomb in Harry's dresser. The next morning when he opened it, Harry almost choked on the smell. Jess had to clean the dishes for the day for that one.
"Jessie Potter, you get off your dad's broom this instant!" Lily shouted at the girl. Jess pouted at Lily and slowly landed. Lily held out her hand and Jess placed the brand new Nimbus 2000 into her mother's hand. Jess walked off and started chatting with Ginny. Both girls had become instant friends and couldn't be separated.
But, alas, all good things must come to an end. The Weasley's left not long after, leaving the Potter's to clean up after the party. James told Harry to just have fun with his new things, it was Harry's birthday after all.
Yes! I know its super short, but I've been working on it for the past week and a half, going back and forth from this to DG (Dragon Guardians) and my co-story with compulsivereader! Next chapter will be longer and more stuff will be revealed!
