Welcome to my story! I had this idea for a while now. This is my first Harry Potter fanfic so it probably isn't very good. I hope you enjoy the story. Leave a review to tell me what you like about the story and what you don't, no flames! If anyone has a question I'll answer it except if it's part of the story to be a secret.
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter.
Prologue
Today is Halloween and it is already late in the evening. Two parents were looking at their one and only son who was playing with his toys. The name of the son was Harry (Not that it is a surprise) and I a little older than one year. The two parents were sitting at the dining table drinking coffee and talking with each other about how good their life has been, sure they're at war with an evil wizard named Voldemort but that didn't bother them because of their son. They thought that their life couldn't turn around, more than a whole year they haven't been attacked. They thought that they're save in this house because of all the charms they placed on the house so that Voldemort couldn't get to them.
The mother looked at their son and smiled when she saw how happy he was. She then looked at her husband and saw that he was also looking at Harry. "Look how happy he is, James" Lily said smiling.
James looked up with a smile. "And look how much energy he has, It's almost midnight and he's still playing with his toys," James said joking but it was true, Harry has played the whole day without resting and he's still full of energy.
"That's good, now we know that he's healthy at least," Lily said. The two finished their drink and saw that it was ten to twelve on the clock. "Harry, It's time for you to go to bed," Lily said.
Harry looked up with a baby face. "Mom I not tired," Harry said and continued to play with his toys. His parents already told him that he was a wizard and already learned him a few things. They know that it's against the rules and if the ministry would find out they would be in a lot of trouble but because of how good this house is protected they can't see that they're using magic so they're save.
Lily laughed a bit. She and James were surprised by how well Harry could already talk and walk but that didn't mean that he didn't make any mistakes. "It is ; 'Mom I am not tired,' and not what you said," Lily corrected her son and saw Harry then yawn. "And I think that you're tired," Lily said and she and James began to laugh.
Harry looked at them with wide eyes. "I said I not tired," Harry protested making Lily and James laugh again that Harry made the same mistake again.
Lily stood up and walked to Harry. "If you won't go to bed by yourself I'll carry you to bed," Lily said. Harry wanted to protect but Lily picked him up. The whole way to Harry's room he was the whole time kicking Lily to get free. Because Harry still wasn't very old it didn't hurt her but he was still stronger than she thought he was. When she laid him in his bed she waited until he was asleep which didn't take longer than five minutes.
When he was asleep she walked back downstairs and saw that James was still sitting on the chair. She to a chair next to him without saying anything. The only thing she wanted to do is enough her time with her husband.
After a few minutes they were about to go to bed and walked upstairs but heard that the door burst open. They both looked at each other fearing for their son. They both took their wand out of their pocket and turned around and walked back downstairs. When they saw who was inside the house they both were scared. They both may be powerful but they're no match for Voldemort, no one is, not even Dumbledore and he's one of the strongest wizards ever.
There was one thing that the two were thinking. How did he find us? They knew that Dumbledore put wards in the house so that Voldemort wouldn't find them. When Voldemort saw them he laughed evilly which made the two even more scared. "Guess your hiding place wasn't so secret after all," Voldemort said.
They knew that they were no match for him so they could only hope to get him distracted and then hurt him so that they can get away with Harry. They knew that that was going to be very hard but that was the only chance they had. "How did you find us?" James asked.
"One of your secret keepers betrayed you," Voldemort said. He saw that they both looked angry. He knew that they were angry at him but also at the one who betrayed them. "I'll be so nice to tell you who betrayed you before I kill you," he said smiling evilly. "It was Peter."
Lily and James both growled but didn't say anything. "I just thought about something. I won't kill you two, I'll take Harry from you and make him kill you two and to do it I'll tell him only lies so that he'll believe me," Voldemort said evilly.
"We won't let you take our son," Lily said angry. Before she could do anything with her wand she felt an incredible pain in her body and gasped for air. She let her wand fall and shortly after she also fell. She knew that she wouldn't die from it but she couldn't do anything to stop Voldemort now. She looked to her right and hoped that James could do anything but he was also on the ground.
"Now to get where I came for," Voldemort said laughing and walked past them.
'Please Harry, be safe,' Lily thought before she fell unconscious.
James saw that Lily fell unconscious and he hoped that he would as well. He didn't want to think about how they failed as parents, they couldn't even protect their own son. He knew that it wouldn't take long for him to fall unconscious either. There was one thing that he was asking himself. 'How could he do that to them without a wand,' he thought. He knew that wandless magic existed but he couldn't have done it because he didn't feel any pain in their stomach but in their back which meant that someone hit them from behind.
He didn't have to look behind him and already knew that it was Peter who did it. "Peter," James said furious.
"Good guess," Peter said. "I know that Voldemort said that he wasn't going to kill you but I didn't agree with that," Peter said.
James didn't answer because he also lost consciousness. Right before he did that he heard Harry cry and nothing more. He had the same thought as Lily before he lost consciousness.
The two woke up feeling a burning feeling in their throat. "What happened?" Lily asked not realised their house was on fire.
"I don't know," James said. When he could see again he was shocked that their house was on fire. "Our house is on fire!" James yelled and quickly stood up and so did Lily.
"HARRY!" Lily yelled and then coughed from the smoke that was in her throat. Luckily the fire wasn't that bad but it was already spreading fast and within five or ten minutes their whole house would be on fire. The two quickly ran upstairs. While running upstairs she knew what happened. "Please Harry, be alright," Lily said while crying.
When they walked in the room they saw their surprise of their live. Voldemort was on the ground dead and Harry is still laying in his bed (I don't know how the thing the babies lay in is called in English.) and was still breathing. Lily and James looked smiled at each other knowing that Harry was still alive but the scar on his face made the two gulp. James looked at Lily seriously. "We're leaving here and never come back," James said serious.
"But they'll hunt us until they've found us," Lily said while picking up Harry. For their luck the fire was only on the ground floor but it wouldn't take long until it was here as well.
"Then we'll fake our dead and make three fake bodies from us," James said and left the room. Lily knew that it wasn't smart for him to leave this room but she knew that it was the best thing for them to do. If they wouldn't do this then everyone would look for them, friends and enemies. After a minute James walked back in the room with his wand. "Now only Harry's body and then we still have to lay our wands next to out bodies so they won't suspect anything," James said and made a fake body of Harry. Harry also had a wand which was laid next to him so they didn't have to search for his wand.
"Wait," Lily said before James walked out the room. "No one can find out that we're still alive," Lily said. Lily waved the wand over herself and she changed her hair colour. Instead of red it's blonde now and her eye colour is light brown now. Her body changed a bit but not too much. James did the same thing and also he changed. His hair is shoulder length now, his eye colour is light green now and his body also changed a bit. Lily waved over Harry and also he changed but because he's a baby there didn't change much. His eye colour is black now and his hair didn't really change. She also gave Harry blonde hair but his body didn't change expect for the scar which is gone now. He didn't have to change much because not much people know how he looks only James and Lily's friends and family not that it matters now. The only thing that Lily did is make sure that he'll look like them when he's older so that no one will suspects something
James took the two wands and walked to the fake bodies and laid them next to the bodies. He then walked back upstairs and saw that Lily was waiting for him with a crying Harry in her hand. The two jumped out the window and hit the ground without pain. They ran away of the house and luckily no one was looking at them. They saw that almost their whole house was on fire now including the first floor.
