Author's note: Hey, this is my first published fic so tell me what you think. This story has been re edited twice and I am pretty good at grammar and spelling so bare with me. I don't know who I want Harry with. I was thinking Draco but if anyone disagree's then just tell me. My chapters are a bit long so if you want I will shorten them. I already have the first five chapters written out, nothing really important except how they got to Hogwarts and their first month, the drama has yet to come. I will post the other chapters once I edit them.

She was tired yet happy. Anyone under the same circumstances would be. Today she was officially a mother. She couldn't wait for all the joys parenting came with and was fully prepared to throw James at all the downfalls of parenting. At least until she recovered.
Lily looked brightly at the doctor and she entered Lily's room and was immediately questioned, "How is he? Or was it a girl?" She honestly didn't care which although she always dreamed of dressing a little girl up in pretty dresses. Oh well, she could dress the little boy in dresses when James wasn't home. It wasn't like a baby would protest.
The doctor smiled kindly, "Fine. Now there was a reason you went into labor early, and it was good you did."
Lily frowned, "What do you mean?"
"You're a proud mother of triplets. Though they are all small, nothing a stay at the hospital will cure."
"Triplets?" Lily asked. That was three, one was bound to be a girl, and if not then the three boys better like being dressed up. She was about to ask about their genders when a thought occurred to her. "Did you tell Albus?"
"Albus Dumbledore? Why would we tell him?" The doctor asked clearly confused.
"N-no reason." Lily lied. She bit her lip as she thought. Albus was ecstatic when he learned Lily was pregnant, he told her that the child she was carrying was going to be great and defeat a great Dark Lord.
Lily didn't want her child going against some evil mad man. And she definitely didn't want Albus to steal her child's childhood either. What if he chose the wrong one to train and that one dies? What if he steals all three of their childhoods away? Lily loved the man like a grandfather but once he has his mind set on this 'Greater Good' then Lily could see past the nice façade he puts up to fool everyone.
"Lily, you need to be strong, can you do that? You have three new lives to consider. Do you want to see them? They're beautiful."
Lily touched her face; she didn't realize that she was crying. Quickly, she wiped the tears from her face and looked at the doctor.
Lily nodded and slowly sat herself up as the doctor left, she and her husband had been in hiding when she went into a premature labor and had a cesarean section to prevent more stress on the baby, well babies, but she did not know that at the time.
The door opened and James walked in with a goofy smile holding two bundles each wrapped in a blue blanket. Behind him was his school friend Sirius holding another blue blanket. Remus, Peter and Severus behind him. Three blue blankets, that meant three boys, right?
"I was so surprised when the doctors handed us three blankets, we need more supplies." James said smiling as he gently handing one of the blue bundles to Lily.
"Yeah," Lily found a smile reach her lips. She looked at the sleeping little boy that was just placed in her arms. She giggled at the dark blank hair sticking in every direction. "He's cursed with your untamable hair." Lily teased as she gently moved soft hair from the tiny face watching as big green eyes blinked open and a tiny mouth yawn up at her cutely.
"Hey!" James pouted childishly.
"Yeah Lily," Sirius said. James nodded at his friends support. "They were all curse with his obnoxious hair."
"Sirius!"
"Honestly James, how are a father?" Remus asked taking the little boy from James.
"Why are we friends?" James frowned staring at his empty arms.
"'Cause you love us." Sirius grinned.
Severus sneaked the little boy in Sirius' arms into his own while he was distracted. Big green eyes stared up at him and a small fist waving clumsily.
The baby was really small and Severus was afraid to hurt or drop him.
"What are you going to name them?" Severus asked gaining their attention.
"Harry. Harry James Potter." Lily said smiling at the little boy in her arms.
"What about the other two?" Remus asked looking at the little boy in his arms.
"We never really thought about other names, we were really confident with the one." James said.
"What about Terrance?" Sirius offered.
"Terrance? That sounds like terrible." Severus put in. "That boy will be bullied with that name."
"Oh yeah, what do you suggest Sev?" Remus asked. Lily forbid Severus ever is called any other name except his own in her presence. And let's face it. Lily verses James, Sirius, Remus, Peter, and Severus. There is no battle. Lily would win. Perks of being the only woman.
"Kevin." Severus said looking at the little boy in his arms. The boy didn't start crying, that was a sigh he liked the name, right?
"I like it." James said, surprising them all by supporting Severus. "That one your holding can be little Kevin James Potter. Kev for short."
"And this one?" Remus asked as he held up the last of the three higher for everyone to see.
"Calvin James Potter." Lily said smiling.
"Who gets to be Godfather?" Sirius asked eagerly. "There are four of us and three of them."
"Severus, since you named Kevin, would you be his Godfather?" James asked.
Severus looked shock but managed to nod as he looked at his Godson.
"Remus, how would you like to be Calvin's Godfather?" Lily asked.
Remus looked at the boy in his arms and smiled, "Of course."
"Can I be Harry's Godfather, please?" Sirius asked practically begging with a pout on his lips.
James chuckled, "Fine, Sirius will you be Harrys-"
"Yes! Of course. Thank you!" Sirius grinned.
"Peter, can you also be Harry's Godfather? I doubt of Sirius' abilities take care of a child if something were to happen to Lily and myself."
Peter nodded. Sirius didn't even try to deny James assumption.
"I'm a dad." James whispered, smiling at the baby in Lily's arms. Lily agreed and kissed his cheek.
"We're finally a family."
December 20, 1980
Lily had a Christmas ornament in her hands as she tried to put it towards the top of the tree. Her husband was putting lights up outside the house. They were originally going to celebrate Christmas and New Years at Sirius' house but were told they weren't allowed to leave because it was too dangerous. Now they were putting up last minute decorations.
Lily had the boy's on their stomach hoping that they will roll over or crawl. Calvin, being the more energetic one was there while Kevin struggled and Harry was almost there.
Lily wasn't worried; the books said that all babies develop at different speeds.
James gave a sad sigh. None of their friends were allowed to come visit. Dumbledore said something about betrayal. James and Lily were too tired to listen. On their son's first Christmas and probably first birthday no one would be able to visit.
His sons will probably grow up afraid of the outside world and meeting other people. Was this the kind of savior Albus wanted? Completely dependent on his parents?
It probably was, knowing Dumbledore.
The day Dumbledore gets his hands on any of his sons is the day James dies. Albus Dumbledore does not belong in any of his boy's lives. James doesn't want his sons going to Hogwarts. And if anything happens to him then Sirius, Peter, Remus, and hell, even Severus knows and will keep them away.
It goes for a fact that he trusts Severus more than Dumbledore. Remus' husband must have gotten him pregnant by now. He was shocked when Remus told him he was having an affair with a married man but they actually work well together. Arranged marriages didn't work well anyway. Besides, the woman already gave him a pureblood heir.
When Remus told him who it was James just laughed and told him he was happy for him.
But seriously, Lucius Malfoy. And he was okay with it. Maybe it was because a long time ago, the Malfoy's and Potter's were friends both being pureblood families.
Remus had adopted Lucius' son, Draco. Draco was still a baby. A cute, innocent and totally spoilt child. Remus wanted Draco to meet James' sons. Have a play date.
But Dumbledore was against the Malfoy's by claiming he was with the people who would kill Harry. Not that James believed that. James knew that Remus was good at guessing peoples characters. Besides, he knew Remus always wanted to be a dad, and Draco was his chance.
As far as James knew, Severus, Sirius, and Peter were single. But like he said before, none of the gossip gets to him. He is rather upset about that. And Lily and he love gossip. And now they get none.
He looked at the three boys on the mat on the floor and smiled. They were pure and he wanted them to stay that way. He found himself unconsciously drinking in random moments with them and Lily. Like he needed to remember everything. He hadn't had them for long and yet he was already in love with each of them. Willing to put his life down for them. Lily joked that he was wrapped around his finger.
Calvin started crying causing Kevin to cry and both of them causing Harry to cry. James took two of them into his arms and they immediately calmed down. Lily came by and took the last one into her arms. They loved attention, Calvin was the worst.
James sighed, "I just realized something. What if they grow up with the prankster slash troublemaker gene? There are three of them, together in a house causing mayhem."
"We're doomed." Lily laughed as she bounced Kevin in her lap. "And it's your fault."
James pouted at that. "I wasn't that bad as a kid."
"Hogwarts better watch out." Lily giggled.
James frowned, "I thought we decided against Hogwarts."
"I know, but I have a feeling Albus will somehow manipulate around us and get Harry if not all of them to go to Hogwarts. I would feel better if they were all together."
James thought for a second, "I hope they inherit your brains."
Lily nodded, "It's sad they inherited so much from you already." She laughed.
"Wow Lily, I love you too." He pouted.
Lily laughed and kissed James softly on the lips before turning her attention back on Kevin. James watched her for a second before Calvin and Harry demanded his attention.
He wanted the boys to have a good life out of Albus' influence but how could they when they were right in the middle?
October 30, 1981
Lily was in a rocking chair in a dark nursery where two little boys slept. James was cooking dinner downstairs while Lily attempted to put the one year old in her lap to sleep. Key word – attempted.
The boy was having none of it. His green eyes, identical to his mother and his brothers, stared up at her refusing to droop. Mocking her as if they knew how exhausting triplets were and making her life harder than it needed to be.
James called her name causing her to shake her head to clear her mind from the odd thoughts. She placed the boy in his crib knowing eventually if he lays there he will fall asleep but the second she stepped away he started crying. Lily sighed; she didn't need the other two waking up.
Walking downstairs with the little boy, Lily frowned for a second at the man in the living room before covering her face with a realistic smile.
"Albus," she said in a friendly voice. The boy in her arms had stopped crying and was now blinking sleepily. It was about time he fell asleep.
"Oh, is Harry still awake?" Albus asked as he spotted the baby.
The boy in her arms was definitely not Harry. Harry was good and fell asleep when he was supposed to unless he wasn't feeling well. The boy was obviously Calvin since that boy refused to sleep when he was supposed to and loved waking up at odd hours of the night. However, Lily and James never told him about Calvin and Kevin so Albus only knew of the one so Lily just nodded and rocked the little boy.
"Our future savior," Albus grinned at the boy. Lily frowned; she didn't like the prophecy and certainly didn't want one of her boys to face a crazy man. Not that she would ever say that out loud.
James walked in grinning at Albus; he hid the distrust easily from the man.
"What are you doing here?" James asked in a friendly tone.
"Just came to stop by."
"I should really put him to bed; it seems a little walk was all he needed." Lily said.
"I'll take him, you should eat."
"No!"
Lily chuckled awkwardly, "I mean, he might wake up if I hand him too you, I just got him to sleep." She retreated towards the stairs and calmly walked up the stairwell. She was a lady and wife of a pureblood, she had manners and did not show her worry… until she was out of sight where she ran to his room and closed the door. Kissing his little head calmed her. Lily took a deep breath and sighed.
Once she regained composure she made her way down stairs to a forced conversation.
Everything was okay.
October 31, 1981
Lily could feel it. Today was off. Something was going to happen, she could feel it. She exchanged glances with James and knew he was thinking the same.
It was night when it happened. The three boys were asleep in their cribs with Lily reading in the armchair close by. James was downstairs cleaning toys and paint off the ground. They were painting the walls in the living room and somehow the boys got into the paint. Neither James nor Lily knew how they got in. James suspected Calvin since that boy was nothing but trouble. Lily blames James for that, stating his pranking genes.
It happened quickly, one second he was putting a stuffed bear in a basket and the next he was lying flat on his back, dead.
Lily heard a crash and peaked out the door calling out her husband's name. When Lily received no reply she quickly shut the door and started chanting a protection spell she created on the boys. As the last word came out of her mouth the door blasted open and a man in a dark robe entered holding out a wand to Lily. A green light and she was on the ground.
The hooded man stopped at the sight of three cribs. Three identical boys lay awake. One staring curiously, one angrily and the last just blinked like he was bored.
Voldemort glared and quickly making the decision to just kill all of them. He pointed his wand at the closest boy, the bored looking one. However when the green light came it rebounded and hit the cloaked man.
His eyes widened and then he was gone.
Harry, the bored looking baby, had a tiny unnoticeable scar on his forehead. His brothers were relatively unharmed except for cuts from when the door exploded.
Minutes later a white bearded man entered with his wand drawn. He paused when he saw the three cribs. "What were you thinking James?" he murmured. "Hiding the other two. Which one is the savior?"
Dumbledore lifted one of the boys, "This one is Harry since he seems to have used up so much energy and looks exhausted." He eyed the other two. "I suppose I shouldn't leave these two by themselves."
Harry and Calvin looked up and stared at him curiously.
Albus Dumbledore disappeared and appeared in front of a house. He wrapped the boy tighter in the blue blanket and put him on the door step and knocking on the door. He watched from a distance as the door opened and a woman holding a baby appeared. She frowned as she saw no one was there. Her frown deepened as she saw they baby wrapped in blue at her feet.
Dumbledore knew she was a magic hater. He wanted the boy to grow up vulnerable and once he was old enough and before he stopped trusting, Dumbledore would swoop in and save Harry.
There was also a chance that one of the other two was the right savior. What should he do with them?
They couldn't grow up with each other. If one goes bad then he could affect the other.
Where?
A Muggle orphanage like where Tom Marvolo Riddle grew up?
Yes. Tom became such a great puppet.
They needed to stay in Britain. Preferably poor orphanages that no families would want to adopt from. Dumbledore went back to the house and picked up Harry, not that he knew which one he was. Once Harry was gone and was asleep at an old orphanage Dumbledore returned and picked Calvin up.
Calvin squirmed and one of his arms got loose. He waved it happily and exposed the stitching on the blanket.
"Calvin James Potter." He read. He looked at the other beds wondering if the other two had similar blankets. "That won't do." He put the baby down and picked the blanket up. He tore the blanket in half and threw it to the side. "Calvin. What should I do with you?"
Calvin just giggled happily, briefly wondering why he wasn't making funny faces like the rest of the big people who play with him.
Dumbledore looked at the boy's shirt. "Cal. I'm sure the orphanage can figure something out with that."
Cal was left at a different orphanage's steps. Dumbledore just walked away without another look.
