The Boy Who Lived

In the night of Halloween, the Potters celebrated the holiday. They resided in Godric's Hollow under the Fidelus Charm to prevent unwanted trespassers to enter nor find the place.

Since the rise of the new dark wizard after Grindelwald, James Potter and his wife Lily, has long gone hiding as their first and now second has been welcome to this world. They were born at the time of war against Voldemort and his followers, the Death Eaters. With the prophecy of a child born in Nonetheless, they managed to find happiness and joy amidst of this war.

They had their first child, whom they named Maleia. She has long wavy hair dark hair and hazel green eyes. She was quite an energetic and mischievous little girl much to James' joy and Lily's dismay. Despite her antics, she was a good kid.

"Happy Halloween, Harry!" Maleia gleefully said as she leaned to her baby brother pecking his cheek. Her speech is a little slurred but you could still understand what she is saying. The baby gurgled at the gesture, clapping.

James carried Harry as he play with them. Lily giggle as she heard their daughter complain as she chased the raven haired man. The woman work on knitting the scarf as the three run around in the living room. With Harry in James's arms of course. As she was busy knitting, she didn't notice the little girl approaching her.

"Mummy," Maleia called out. Lily looked up from her knitting to see her eldest daughter holding her clam shell necklace that was given to her on the day she turned a year old.

"Yes, darling?" Lily smiled at her daughter's frowning face. Despite the ritual done, she could still see her father in her. She has heart shaped face framed with her long wavy dark hair, green mixed with hazel eyes and slight tan complexion.

"How do I open this?" She handed the necklace to her mother. It was Lily's turn to frown. He gave this necklace at Maleia's first birthday. She never knew how to open it even he didn't tell her. For what she know, it is not an ordinary necklace.

"I'm not sure either, darling..."

"Aww..." Maleia groaned. Lily put the unfinished scarf aside. She lift her daughter making her sit on her lap.

"I'm sure one day you will able to open it." The redhead woman bopped the little girl's nose making her giggle. Lily clasped the necklace around her daughter's neck.

"Make sure not to loose this alright? No matter what happens." Maleia nodded before kissing Lily on the cheek and hopped down from her lap, running to James who's arm was spread waiting for her. He carried her into his arms, showering her with kisses making the girl giggle.

"I'll be checking on Harry upstairs." She said to James.

"What game do you want to play, sweetheart?" He asked with a grin. "Hide n' Seek!" She cheered as she raise her arms in the air.

Lily watched her husband playing with their daughter with a fond smile from the top of the stairs before going in Harry and Maleia's room. Despite the incident happened during her pregnancy with Maleia, James still loved them both.

Maleia hid behind the couch giggling as the man finished his counting. "Ready or not, here I come!" James wander around the living room to find Maleia. He could hear her but pretend not to. The little girl's gaze land on the aquarium above the table in the side of the dining room. She raised her finger to her lips as she moved there.

James was about to surprise the little girl, whom he thought was as still hiding behind the couch, when they felt someone coming through the charm. Lily frowned when she also felt it.

He immediately went to the window and peeked from the gap of the curtains.

Lily slowly went down the stairs and reached the ground. She watched James with nervousness. Maleia who noticed her father wasn't searching for her decided to come out of her hiding place and ran to the living room. James silently cursed realizing his wand is not with him.

"He's here... Lily, hide with the children! I will stall him!" James said and Lily nodded. The two stared at each other with glazed eyes before leaning for a kiss and hugged for awhile. Maleia slowly went to him, tugging his sleeve.

"Daddy?" James quickly turned to their only daughter.

"Mal, go upstairs with your mother. Protect your little brother, understood?" The little girl slowly nodded. James pecked his little angel's forehead.

Lily ushered her daughter as they climb upstairs inside their room. She carried her little girl, setting her inside the crib along with her baby brother. Maleia wrapped her arms around Harry who began to whimper.

"Mummy, what's happening?" The little girl lowly asked. She felt something dark was approaching and she could tell it was bad. Soon, a shout was heard from downstairs and the woman realized who it was, as the tears fell down her cheeks. Maleia who recognized the voice, became scared. Her baby brother started to cry and she try to calm him down.

Lily turned her body to them, tears welling up in her eyes yet her expression remained fierce and determined. She kneeled down in front of them. "Harry, Mummy loves you... Daddy loves you. Always be safe, be strong." She said staring at Harry's eyes. She lightly pat their heads as more tears ran down her cheeks.

"Both of you are so loved..." Lily whispered as she held both of them close to her, despite the barrier between them and the crib.

"Take care of your little brother, my little pearl." whispered Lily as she caressed her daughter's cheek. "I hope you would understand everything when the times comes." She pecked Maleia's forehead.

The little girl whimpered as she hold her little brother close and nodded at their mother who smiled. Their tearful exchange was stopped when they hear footsteps on the stairs approaching.

The door got blasted into pieces as a dark figure emerged. Lily screamed in pain as she got hit by the wood. She slowly stood up and turn to the approaching figure. Underneath the dark cloak, its red eyes is seen in the darkness and an evil smirk was present in its face.

"Not my children, please!" Lily begged as she block the two children from his view.

"Stand aside, girl." The figure hissed as he neared.

"Not Maleia and Harry, please." Lily stare at the figure fearfully.

"Step aside, you foolish girl!" He pointed his wand at her.

"Take me instead!" Lily cried. "Kill me, not them..."

"AVADA KEDAVRA!" It all happened too fast and she saw their mother on the floor, her eyes no longer held life to it. Maleia cried as she stare up to the dark figure approaching them. She pulled the crying Harry close to her as the figure smirked.

The little girl glare up at him, her cheeks still wet with tears.

"AVADA KEDAVRA!" Maleia close her eyes as she protect Harry from his attack. A flash of green covered them.

"But Harry..." Maleia stare sadly at her baby brother who is in Professor McGonagall's arms.

They stood in front of their mother's sister's house. Before this, Hagrid took both of them from their home and brought them here. She saw her uncle standing in front of the house when Hagrid took them outside. Sirius bent down to her height, saying he would take them after he consult their friend, Peter. All she did was nod, for she was still lost from their parents' death.

"In future's time, Maleia. You will meet him in as soon as he is old enough to know about the Wizarding World." Dumbledore patted her head.

Minerva lowered herself for Maleia to say her farewell to Harry. "I'll miss you, Harry. I promise you, we'll meet again." With that, she kissed her baby brother's forehead. She sniffed as her tears drop down her cheeks.

"Let us go, child." The child held on to the wizard as she sent a last longing glance to her little brother.

They arrived in the middle of the night in front of a dark, old orphanage. The lights were still on in the other rooms, to his relief.

Dumbledore knocked on the door. They waited for a few minutes when they heard the clicking on the door and opened slightly, the chain lock preventing it to fully be opened. The person peeked in the gap until its eyes landed on the old man.

The door closed again before opening it wide enough for the them to see the person. A woman with hazel brown shoulder length hair, her eyes are startling sapphire color. She wore a sleeping robe and indoor slippers. Turns out she was about to sleep when they knocked. The woman was shocked to see him.

"Good evening Professor Dumbledore. How may I help you?"

He motioned Maleia to show herself to the woman. "Good evening Miss Kate. I would like to leave this girl under your care. Her parents died recently and she has nowhere to stay."

The woman's eyes widened as she saw the little girl but soon hid it as she smiled at the old man.

"Of course, sir. But please come inside, so we can discuss this." She opened the door wider for them. She turned back to see the old man no longer there except the little girl. She sighed at the old wizard's antics.

"What is your name, little one?" The kind woman squat down in front of her and asked. The little girl met her eyes but soon avert hers, looking down the ground. "Maleia... Maleia Potter."

"What a beautiful name you have. I'm Kate Wilson, you can call me Miss Kate. I'm one of the caretakers here." The woman smiled but it didn't reached her eyes. Maleia could tell there was sadness in it but there was also joy which confused her.

"Come inside, so we can prepare your bed and sleep." She ushered the little girl to enter as she close the door behind them.

In that night, Maleia and her baby brother Harry lost their parents leaving them both orphans. Harry was left in the doorstep of their mother's sister's house while she was in the orphanage. She didn't understand why Dumbledore decided it and continue to wonder.

The old wizard was deep in his thoughts with one thing in mind. How come only Harry got a scar while Maleia didn't have it and they managed to survive.

They didn't know at this very moment, people meeting in secret in all over the country were holding up their glasses saying in hushed voices.

"To Harry Potter, The Boy Who Lived!"
