Chapter 1

Halloween

31st October 1981 (Godric's Hollow)

Close to midnight, in a small town in England called Godric's Hollow, there walked a man. He was no ordinary man. He was tall, with pale white skin, his eye sockets were like slits in his face with blood red eyes behind them. He wore a long black clock that billowed out behind him as he strode purposefully towards a house that had suddenly appeared into his line of vision. As the house appeared in front of him, the man grinned grimly at the house. It was a smile that would make any man, woman or child shiver in fear. This wasn't just any old man; this was the most feared person in the other world that existed within the one he now walked. In the Wizarding world, people were so scared that they did not even dare say his name.

As he reached the gate of the house his smile grew more sinister. He looked through the downstairs window to see a lone adult male sitting on a chair reading a paper, his wand on the table near his reach. This made him feel smug but he knew he had to act fast.

Voldemort pushed the gate open, strode to the door, pulled out his wand and shouted "Reducto." The door shattered into pieces making the man in the front room jump up, grabbing his wand out as he yelled out, "It's him. Take Harry and go! Now"

But Voldemort was faster. Before the man could turn back Voldemort called out "Avada Kedavra." A green light lit the room up as the man fell to the ground in a crumpled heap.

Voldemort scowled as he followed the sounds that were coming from upstairs. As he reached the top he walked towards the room where the noise was coming from. He pushed the door but it wouldn't budge which made him angrier. "Reducto" he yelled angrily causing the door and all the furniture to shatter and fly out of the way making the woman in the room scream.

Voldermort grimaced in repulsion, as he walked into the room; he turned to the woman who had screamed. He faltered in his steps. This wasn't the woman he was expecting to see. However his confusion didn't last long. "Move out the way stupid woman, you do not have to die as well." Voldemort scowled as the woman stepped in front of the cot trying to hide the little black haired, green eyed one year old from the his sight.

"No. Not Harry, not Harry" the woman pleaded making Voldemort laugh.

"Have it your way… Avada Kedavra." He smiled triumphantly as the green flash vanished leaving the woman lying lifeless on the floor. He could now see the baby in the cot. His eyes flashed looking at him. He glowered as he lifted his wand and pointed it straight at the baby. "Avada Kedavra." The bright green light illuminated the room as an almighty bang rang throughout the house, shaking it to the foundations, as all the windows blew out simultaneously.

5 Minutes Earlier at the Godric's Hollow Town Centre

Four people had just appeared in an alley just to the side of the town centre, all of them dressed in cloaks.

"God that was boring. Dumbledore as never sent us on such a useless mission." One of the three guys said letting out a long breath.

"Well it wasn't a waste of time as such…" sighed the only woman. "We identified two new death eaters, that's something."

"Honey you always look at the bright side, always the optimistic one." Her husband said laughing.

"I concur" the other man joined in; laughing at the look he was receiving from the first man to speak. "What..."

He was cut off as a loud explosion ripped through the town, originating from the street that they were heading to.

The four cloaked figures looked at one another before the woman screamed out.

"No! Harry!" she shouted, before bolting towards the street, the other three following behind her.

The three guys caught up to her as she rounded the corner. They all came to a halt at the sight of the house; it had a hole in the wall where Harry's room once was. All the windows in the house were blown out, and the door was hanging off the hinges.

"Oh God, Harry" the woman's husband whispered, as his wife ran to the front gate of the house followed by him and the other two. They all quickly made their way up to the door as the house was starting to attract attention.

As they crossed the threshold the woman gasped, as they saw the body of a middle aged man on the floor.

"David" she gasped with tears in her eyes. One of the guys went to check on him as her husband wrapped his arms around her.

"I'm sorry guys" the man by the body said as he stood up shaking his head. "He's dead. Looks like The Killing Curse" he finished. "He didn't have a chance."

"Oh god, no Harry" the woman whispered as she shrugged out of her husband's arms and ran up the stairs avoiding all the debris in her way. "No" she screamed out in despair as she pushed through the door. The wall by the cot was blown out and all the things were scattered across the floor.

"NOOOOOOOOOOO" she screamed, as she saw the woman on the floor and the baby laying face down in the cot.

Her husband came in after her and caught her as her legs gave out. She clung to her husband as heart wrenching sobs broke from her. "Oh God Harry" he whispered looking at the little body in the cot, not noticing the slight rise and fall of the baby's chest as tears clouded up his eyes. His eyes left the baby and strayed to the woman, and his tears started to fall. The other 2 men entered the room to see their two best friends crying in grief. They gathered the couple into a hug.

"What was that?" asked the tall guy with black hair, looking around after hearing a faint whimpering. He froze as the other man grabbed his arm and pointed to the cot.

"Sirius look!" the shaggy haired guy said in disbelief as he stared at the cot.

"Oh God Harry" he said looking at the cot to see the baby now standing there whimpering at the adults in the room. "James, Lily look" he said bending down and pointing to the cot. James and Lily followed his hand and as Lily spotted the baby she gasped.

"Harry" she cried running over to the baby and bringing him straight to her chest. As she spoke softly to her son, her husband joined her and ran his hand over the baby's head. "Oh Harry" she whimpered hugging her baby to her.

"How?" James asked as he stroked his son's head. "What's that?" James asked pointing to an angry looking red scar on Harry's head in the shape of a lightning bolt as his two friends came and stood around them. All four were so busy fussing over the baby that none of them heard the three cloaked figures that had entered the house downstairs with their wands drawn.

The three cloaked figures looked at each other as they saw the body of David and quickened their pace as they headed upstairs. As they reached the landing they could hear murmurs coming from a room. They pulled their wands up ready to strike. As they entered the room, one of them stepped on a bit of rubble that made the floor board crack. At the noise the other two sprang in with their wands at the ready and came face to face with four people pointing their wands at them with one of them holding the baby.

"Who are you? And be careful with your answer." James growled looking at the three cloaked figures before stepping closer to Lily and Harry. James, Lily, Sirius and Remus stiffened as the figure in the centre stepped forward and pulled the hood of his cloak back.

Let me know what you think?
