"Lily take Harry and run! I'll hold him off!" James shouted as he drew his wand at Voldemort, Lily ran upstairs clutching one year old Harry in her arms. Voldemort caught sight of Lily running up the stairs and before anyone could do anything shouted "procido!" James watched in slow motion as Lily fell on the stairs dropping Harry, who fell to the bottom of the stairs and promptly started crying. "You bastard!" James shouted as he started firing spells at Voldemort, in return Voldemort smiled and reflected all of the curses as well as sending some of his own which James dodged. "stupefy" Voldemort hissed and James fell to the floor unconscious, he slowly walked over to where Harry was still sat crying, and lifted his wand, "good bye Harry Potter. AVADA KEDAVRA!".
Sirius was flying as fast as he could on his motorbike, something wasn't right, he could feel it. Slowly, he began the descent to Godrics Hollow, but knew the truth before he landed; the house was in ruins, and in the process of falling down. Panicking Sirius jumped off his bike and ran into the house, there was rubble everywhere! "Lily!" he gasped as he ran over to her prone body on the stairs, he felt a pulse and quickly started shaking her to wake her up. "Sirius? Oh merlin Sirius Voldemort! He was here!"
"Shh, everything's going to be okay Lily, we just need to find James and Harry okay?" Lily nodded, and stood up, Sirius noticed James covered in some rubble and ran over to him, and revived him quickly. James looked around dazed, and then jumped to his feet "Harry!" he quickly ran over to where he had seen his little boy last, moving some rubble away he found his son looking up at him with blood running down his face, he was silent. Quickly James scooped his son up and kissed him on the forehead, "We need to get to Hogwarts, see Dumbledore" the others agreed and they all disapparated to the gates of Hogwarts, and ran up the steps to get to the headmaster's office.
When Dumbledore let them into his office Lily started explaining what had happened "Professor! Voldemort was at Godrics Hollow…" by the end of the story, they were all sat in chairs drinking cups of tea, whilst Harry had fallen asleep. "And you say that Harry wasn't crying or anything, even though he had fallen down the stairs?" Albus Dumbledore asked his ex-students; Lily bit her lip and nodded. "We should have Madame Pomfrey take a look at him, in case it is serious." He replied as he stood up, quickly followed by Sirius, James and Lily, who was carrying Harry. When they reached the hospital wing they found the nurse tending to a student who had gotten on the wrong end of a prank, but when she saw the adults quickly rushed them over to a private room. Lily laid Harry down on the bed whilst James explained what had happened, the noise seemed to wake Harry up and he stared up at everybody confused. Madame Pomfrey ran some diagnostic spells on him, and scammed her eyes over the piece of parchment which appeared, her eyes quickly turned knowing, "I thought it might be this…" she murmured.
"What's wrong with him?" James asked desperately, he had to know what was wrong with his little boy. Madame Pomfrey sighed and faced the adults, sometimes, when a very young child takes a nasty fall and hits their head, it can damage part of the brain-"
"-What are you saying he's brain damaged?" James demanded.
"Not in the way you are thinking, by the looks of things he may just be very slow speaking, and well anything to do with literacy. He will just need more help than other children, but will still be able to lead the same life as any other child would." She explained quickly, James nodded in understanding as he sat down in a chair, whilst Lily picked up Harry and started whispering to him soothingly.
