Chapter One: The Dark Night
"Will you please pass me that plate, Danny?" said a beautiful red haired young woman.
"Sure!"
"Hey I'm home guys!" called James Potter from the door. Danielle watched her older brother move through the living room towards them. "And how is my family tonight?"
"We're fine dear." said Lily as she moved to embrace her husband. James walked over to the play pen and picked up the dark haired little boy. Harry looked at his father and laughed. "Supper is ready dear."
"Great! Harry and I are coming."
Since Voldermort's rise to power, the Potters had been living in hiding. Both Lily and James had graduated from Hogwarths School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. But James's younger sister Danny was once in her fourth year at Hogwarths.
No one knew that the 15 year old girl was staying with her older brother. No one had a clue of where she was. James had done that for her protection. Since their parents had been killed James had become very protective of his family. They had not had anyone to the house since they had gone into hiding. The only one that knew their hiding place was of course their Secret Keeper, but he was reliable.
Just as the family sat down for dinner the lights went off. "The breaker must have blown again," said James as he stood up to fix the problem. Just then a feeling of great danger filled him. Without another thought he said, "Danny go get under the invisibility cloak. Lily go into the nursery and lock the door now, find the other cloak and hid." Both women knew better than to argue with him and did as he said.
James then took out his wand and waited for the worst. Voldermort stuck down James in on second then walked to the nursery. Daniela watched in horror as Lily pleaded for the life of her son.
Fear kept Daniela rooted to her place. She watched as Lily also died by the hands of the dark wizard. As Voldermort made a move to also kill Harry in the same way, Daniela ran and jumped between the wand and the baby.
What happened next no one can really say. Maybe it was the sacrifice of James, Lily and Daniela that saved them. Who knows? But Daniela remembered hearing the scream of Voldermort as her world went black.
A few hours later Hagrid showed up to find Harry. He was surprised to find the child cuddled in the arms of his aunt under some of the fallen rubble. "I wonder what will happen to you two?" he said out loud.
He gathered both of them up and began to walk away when he heard a motorcycle. Hagrid turned around to see Sirius Black fly onto the scene. "Here we go," thought Hagrid as he walked over to console the Potter's dearest friend.
