A Different Life, A New Family

Prologue - When It All Started

On the night of July the 31st, five children were born into the Potter family. James Alexander Potter Jr. born at 10:59 p.m., Rosalie Hope Potter born at 11:10 p.m., Joshua Sirius Potter born at 11:27 p.m., Amelia Crystal Potter born at 11:41 p.m., and finally Harry James Potter born at 11:59 p.m. Harry was a surprise to Lilly and James as they were told that they would be having two boys and two girls but they were glad to have another child. The Potters were very content until they found out about the prophecy and they believed that their first four children were the prophesied ones. They ended up taking care of the four and forgetting about little Harry.

On the night of Halloween, Lilly was tucking in the four future saviours of the wizarding world when there was a loud bang from the floor below and a yell, "LILLY! TAKE THE CHILDREN AND RUN!" followed by some more bangs, crashes, a 'crucio' from Voldemort and screaming from James until he was silenced with a 'stupefy'. Lilly was frantically searching for the portkey when the door to the nursery was broken open and Voldemort stepped in. He smirked at Lilly Potter, who was protecting her children in their crib.

'Step aside, little girl, and I'll spare your life." Voldemort said to her.

Lilly glared at the Dark Lord. "Never! I won't let you touch my children!" and she drew out her wand, "I'd rather die to protect them than stepping aside to let you kill them."

Voldemort sneered at her. "Very well then. If that's what you want, I'll -" that's when he noticed little Harry in the corner. He smirked and headed towards the corner and picked Harry up into his arms. "Looks like you forgot a child young lady. And here I thought you cared for all your children."

"No, not Harry!" Lilly began to panic. 'I can't believe I forgot about Harry.' She mentally scolded herself.

Voldemort smirked at her and raised his wand, "Say goodbye, Lilly Potter! Avada Kedavera!"

The moment he said those words, Lilly shut her eyes and hoed to the gods that what ever happened, her children would stay safe.

Lilly never noticed the white light radiating off Harry, or the shield the light formed around her and the other little ones that deflected the killing curse, hitting both Voldemort and Harry and causing a small explosion.

When Lilly woke a few minutes later, she woke to the sounds of her children crying. Getting of the floor, she went to check on the four children and was happy to find that all four were not harmed but she sensed some dark magic attached to them.

"Lilly? Lilly, are you alright?" James stumbled into the room.

Lilly smiled brightly at him. "Oh James! They did it! They vanquished the Dark Lord! He's gone and they saved us all!" She hugged her husband tightly.

James smiled. "I knew it. They are the prophesied ones."

What the Potters failed to realize was that they too had some dark magic clinging to them. They also failed to notice little Harry who was sleeping, due to his over use of magic, in a pile of ashes that was once Voldemort's body and the lightning bolt scar on his forehead.

That night, all around England, every witch and wizard raised his or her glasses and made a toast.

"To the Children-Who-Lived"

But we all know who was the real hero that night.
