Chapter 1 / Prologue: Introductions.
Chapter 1/?
William James Potter; the oldest Potter child and heir was strolling down the street towards his best friend's home, behind him were his 'followers'; his younger brothers, Walter Remus Potter and Wallace Jake Potter. What could go wrong with going to his best friend's home? Nothing, expect for the fact that the dark lord was after his family… But who would rune Halloween for the children? No one had the heart, William thinks silently.
James and Lily were sitting at the left side of the long, red table. Seated at the head of the table was the best wizard in the century; Albus Dumbledore. This was another one of the Order of the Phoenix meetings, and they were in the middle of reporting, when a loud ringing started overhead; alerting them to an attack in Diagon Ally. Quickly, all of the order members apparated into the middle of the attack. "Avada Kedrava! Stupefy! Tenebrosi Reducto!* Tenebrosi Bombardo!" A man in midnight-black robes shouts, the man has a shiny silver mask – a death eater.
James sprang into action, "PROTEGO!" James shouts out, a shield forms in front of him; absorbing the spells. However, as the last spell comes into touch, the shield slowly cracks, and breaks. The impact hit James and he crashes into a brick wall, his head comes in touch with the wall; and warm, thick, bloody red liquid seeps out, James slowly slips into unconsciousness.
Voldemort smirks, today was his day; today was the day where he would kill the supposingly prophesied one… the end of hope! A wonderful plan of his to distract all the members in the house except for the youngest two, and… the blasted muggle grandmother; Rose Evans or something.
What a shame; he couldn't kill Potter and the mudblood –which would mean one less filthy creature in the world- yet. Maybe he would spare Hadrian, seeing as his godfather is Severus Snape, one of his most loyal death eaters; but, the dark lord doesn't give mercy, okay maybe a little bit, he would kill Hadrian first; with a quick Avada Kedrava, whilst he gave torture to the on which was seen to kill him; what a useless thing seers are…
Hadrian shifts in his dreams, he hears some loud sounds; a voice which was quite familiar, Grandma Rose. He wakes up immediately, and listens carefully with his ears; Grandma Rose seems to be in trouble, and it seems to be in the living room. No there's the loud bang and sound, Abrada Kedabra? A spell? And footsteps on the staircase? … Hadrian runs softly towards his younger brother's room; Jacques Charles. He opens the door and crept inside, he quickly looks around for Jacques, there he is; safe and sound in his cradle. Hadrian signs in relief, preparing to go back to his own room, when the door was blasted open. Hadrian jumps in surprise, a dark figure with a bold head and a slit for a nose was standing at the door; Hadrian knew at once that 'it' was a monster, an evil one, not like the Big Friendly Giant. And the monster could speak as well! And 'it' knew his name! "Hello there young Hadrian, stay still for a while, you'll soon be with your grandmother." Grandma? What happened to her? Hadrian shivered in fear but stood firmly on the ground, he was a brave boy. "Avada Kedrava." 'It' said quietly. A emerald spell comes towards Hadrian, he shuts his eyes, and there was a loud scream, Hadrian still doesn't opens his eyes and a few seconds later it was very silent, and Hadrian opens his eyes, where was the monster? And… why does everything seem so dark?
Parts of the cradle were breaking a part, and Hadrian with close eyes has a unique snake mark on his arm, it was glowing, and then it disappears before Hadrian opens his eyes. Jacques has fallen to the floor, when a sharp pain erupted on Jacques forehead; Jacques screamed and cried with all of his might.
Someone was shaking James, when he wakes up; Lily-flower. "What happened?"
"I don't know, but the wards, I think they're down…" Came the soft voice of his wife, it was hinted with a unnatural worry. James couldn't focus on her words, suddenly realization hits him.
"The wards! Harry and Jacques!" He shouts, taking his wife's arm and apparates with a 'pop' to Godric's Hallow, the whole house was crumbling, he rushes in and hears someone's cries of pain. He heads immediately towards Jacques bedroom where the sounds came from. He spots Harry who was unconscious lying on the floor, and hears Jacques' cries of pains; meaning Jacques was conscious. He spots his wife going towards Jacques, so he heads towards Harry. "We need to take them to the hospital!" With that, James pops out of the room to the hospital. A few seconds later, Lily arrives with Jacques in her arms. James looks at Jacques carefully, and exclaims "I think Jacques killed Voldemort, he has a lightening scar on his forehead, and Jacques also has a lot more magic than Harry."
"I agree," Lily replies. "But for now, let's get them both to the healers. How about you go to the headmaster and report back to him?"
"Sure." James says whilst turning to the floo, and throws in some floo powder, making the fire in the fireplace turn green. "Headmaster's office." James says clearly. "HEADMASTER!" He yells, Dumbledore appears, dressed in colorful robes.
"What is the matter James? You look you have been to Voldemort's lairs and back. Have you been to Diagon Ally yet?"
"Yes, I helped in the fight, but… I think Voldemort came to my house. And Diagon Ally was just a distraction! And I think Jacques defeated him! James relies.
Albus signs inwardly, where did the lovely Tom go? How did he become a monster? Was it because of him; Albus Dumbledore? If he had another chance, he would redo all of these things, make sure he had a great relationship with his brother, look after his sister, help Tom not become a monster, and a lot more things.
"Ah… has he?" Was all Albus could say.
"Yes," Young James replies eagerly. "I'm so sure, that Jacques killed Voldemort." Kill Tom? Defeat maybe, but kill? No.
"I believe that Voldemort may not be killed yet, we need the chosen one to be able to kill him for one last time." Albus made sure to not say any names, he privately thought Hadrian as his own honorary grandson, an intelligent young child Hadrian -Harry- was.

A/N: And this is chapter 1 or the prologue of Light Or Dark. I will still update my other fanfictions, this is just an idea which was in my document manager for a very long time. I haven't really double checked it much, only skimming through it a few times. So… please tell me if there are any mistakes, and read & review. Thanks!
