FAMILY CONNECTIONS
PART ONE
If you were to ask Voldermort why he stunned James potter instead of killing him, he would say to make him suffer. What a better way to torture an arrogant and proud man like James, than by murdering all of his family and making him the only survivor. So he was actually delighted to hear the proud and powerful Lily Potter, beg him to spare the lives of her two sons. He relished every cry and plea that left her mouth to spare her sons, and his glee intensified when he thought of James being unable to hear nor help her. He burst out into hysterical laughter when he killed her, only imagining the look of panic, pain, and horror James would have at seeing his beloved wife then turned his attention to the two children in the crib.
He knew who was who thanks to Peter, it also helped that they were fraternal twins. The infant with black hair and green eyes, who looked like a copy of James except for the eyes, was Harry James Potter. The other Infant with red hair and heterochromatic eyes, who looked more like Lily, was Leo Remus Potter. Despite the fact that they are twins, they were in fact very different from one another, other than their looks. One of the many being that Leo had one green eye, while the other eye was a dark brown, and he couldn't see out of his right eye, which was the brown one. Another one would be, that while Sirius was Harry's godfather, Leo's godfather was Remus. The biggest one was that while Harry had magic, Leo was born a squib. Voldermort couldn't understand why they didn't get rid of Leo, he couldn't do magic so he was basically useless trash.
Harry looked at him with innocent, curious eyes, while Leo looked at him with scared, wary eyes. It was almost funny that the squib, the one without magic, could feel how powerful and terrifying he was, while the other one, the one that did have magic, couldn't. He couldn't help but scoff, was this the prophesied child that would destroy him? Blasphemy!
Not like it would matter in a couple of seconds. He raised his wand and shouted the two worded curse and aimed it at Harry. But, something unimaginable happened, something that not even Voldermort himself could have foreseen.
The spell rebounded, it fucking rebounded, and hit Voldermort instead. Voldermort turned into dust and disappeared, but not before leaving behind part of his soul in Harry's newly acuarred lightning scar, making Harry himself a Horcrux. The shockwave was powerful enough to blow up part of the ceiling of the children's room.
The house went silent for several minutes, until several POPs broke the silence followed by panic voices and frantic running. The first to enter the house was Sirius, and the first thing he saw was James. Sirius quickly rejuvenated James.
James looked at Sirius with fear in his eyes and he got up and ran upstairs. What he saw would haunt him for the rest of his life.
When he entered the room, he immediately fell to his knees. Lily was on the floor dead, her dead green eyes starring blankly at him. The crib was partially scorched and destroyed, a robe and wand laying innocently in front of it. The roof of the nursery was also destroyed, letting the cold winds of October night into the room.
James was numb, he... he didn't know what to do. He was crying, he felt the tears running down his cheeks, but he didn't want to move, to breath. He feared that if he did, then it would be true, that the nightmare before him was real and not a horrible dream that he would wake up from. He didn't react when Sirius appeared behind him, or when he too fell to his knees in horror. All James could do was cry in silence and stare at his dead and destroyed family.
Then a miracle happened. A cry of a baby was heard among the rubble of the destroyed crib.
James got to his feet fast and rushed to the destroyed crib. He immediately began searching through the rubble, and he found Harry. Harry was crying his heart out, a bright red lightning bolt scar branded to his forehead. "Ha...Harry..." James sobbed out as he hugged his son to his chest. Sirius was behind him, looking at them and crying out in relief. "Leo...Leo!" James screamed out when realization hit him. If Harry survived, then maybe...
James didn't have to think twice. He gently handed Harry over to Sirius (Who took little Harry off of James's hands when realization hit him too) and began digging into the remains of the crib. After a couple of minutes however, James wasn't able to find Leo. The only thing he was able to find was a badly burned rabbit toy. It was Leo's favorite.
James came to the realization that Leo was gone, his body most likely completely disintegrated from the sheer power of the explosion. James let out a heart breaking sob, clutching the destroyed toy bunny to his chest. His wife was dead, his son was gone forever, and most of all his family was devastated beyond repair.
"Prongs..." He heard Sirius say softly. James turned to see Sirius with tears coming down his face, holding a still crying Harry. James stood up and hugged both Sirius and Harry like his life depended on it. It was just him and Harry now, Lily and Leo were gone and all that remained were them two. And James would be damned if he let his son get hurt, he would protect Harry with his life (just like Lily did before him).
What James Potter didn't know was that Leo was in fact not dead. The magic of Lily's love, Harry's own magic that responded to his will to protect his brother, and another factor unknown to them all, actually protected him and transported him somewhere else.
Leo would later be found by an old lady in a field of wheat, clutching a little toy hammer in his little hands. Leo was placed in an orphanage and would later be adopted to be the successor of a man with no name. Leo would also become an exorcist and fight in a war that has been going on for many millenniums, and become known as Lavi Bookman Jr.
