The Twin
Chapter one
It was rare to find Albus Dumbledore so troubled. He had just gotten word that the Potter's had been attacked. They had survived the attack because one of their twin boys had been by some miracle able to banish Lord Voldermort from their home. The problem was he couldn't be sure which one had done it. If the prophecy was true then one of those poor boys was destined to defeat the dark lord. He sighed. He so desperately wanted to believe the prophecy was wrong. No one should have such a burden on them at such a young age.
He heard someone knocking on the door. "Come in." he said. James and Lily Potter came through each of them holding a child. The boys were complete opposites. The eldest one Alex had auburn hair like his mother and his father's hazel eyes. The younger boy Harry had jet black hair and his mother's beautiful emerald green eye.
"Is everyone alright?" he asked. "We're fine Albus the boys have gotten some pretty nasty scars though." James said. He looked at the boys foreheads to see that Alex had a large s shaped scar and Harry had a relatively smaller lightning bolt scar. He started to ask how the boys had gotten them when the door flew open. Immediately he had his wand out. It wasn't necessary though. A young woman no more than twenty years old with fiery red hair came in the room and immediately put her arms around Lily. "Thank god you're ok. When I went to your house and saw the damage I automatically thought the worse." She said holding Lily even tighter.
Dumbledore couldn't help but smile at his daughter in law even though her and Lily's friendship had been falling apart she still was deathly protective of her. "Eosos you're going to kill me if you don't let me go." Lily said as she pulled away. "Sorry and its Dawn now I decided to translate my name to English." Dawn said. "How on earth did he find you?" She asked. "Peter sold us out." James said. "But I thought that Sirius was your secret keeper." She said as she took Harry out of James's tighten grip. "He had us switch to Peter because he was too obvious." He explained. Fawkes trilled as Severus Snape busted into the room.
"Headmaster is it true?" he asked. "You and Dawn never did learn to knock." He said "Yes Severus it is true." Dawn said ignoring Dumbledore's previous comment. "But how did they survive?" he asked. "I have a theory." Dumbledore said. "What's your theory?" James asked after a moment of silences. "Oh yes but before that sherbet lemon anyone?" he asked. "No!" "Ok. Well it seems that either young Alex or Harry was able to banish Voldermort from your home. That would mean one of the twins is the chosen one from the prophecy and I am positive that Voldermort isn't finished yet. The question is which one?" "We that's obvious it's Alex." James said. "How can you be sure?" Dawn asked. "Alex has done plenty of accidental magic already for all we know Harry could be a squib." he explained. "That doesn't mean anything I didn't show signs of magic until I was four and look at me know." Dumbledore said. "Well look at their scares Alex's is the bigger Harry probably got his from some falling debris." Lily said. "No piece of debris could make a perfect lightning bolt." Severus said. "It could be either one of them." Dawn said. Fawkes trilled in agreement. "See even the flaming chicken agrees with us." Severus said.
"They're our kids and we have already decided that Harry will live with my sister so we can focus on training Alex for Voldermort's return." Lily said. Dawn reached out to grab Lily's neck but pulled away because she didn't want to hurt one of the babies in the struggle. "Petunia you're going to give him to Petunia" Severus yelled. He stared to rant again but was cut off by Dawn. "That is a great idea Lily." She said. Albus and Severus both stared at her as if she had just proclaimed her love of all death eaters. "It only nine thirty if you leave now then you might catch them." She said handing Harry to James. "Your right we should go." James said. "Good night everyone." They said as they left.
"What was that?" Severus exploded. He couldn't believe that Dawn one of the most stubborn people he knew would give up like that, especially when it comes to a child's future. No magical child should be let near Petunia let alone be raised by her. "Calm down before you give yourself a hernia." Dawn said as she settled herself in a chair. "Clam down how I can calm down when you've sold the boy to the devil. You know Petunia hates magic yet you let them take him to her without a fight." Severus ranted.
"Will Petunia harm the boy?" Dumbledore asked. "I'm sure she will." Severus said. "I wouldn't be surprised if we find the boy's body in a ditch somewhere." "That is why we are going to get Harry from her as soon as Lily and James leave. All we have to do is wait for them to transfer all parental rights to Petunia so we can get it from her." She said. Severus opened his mouth to say something but closed it at once. It made sense. From the conversation they had just had with them it was clear that the Potters had made up their minds. "Who will adopt Harry?" Dumbledore asked. "Me." Dawn said.
"Are you sure?" Severus asked. "You already have two children and Blackfire alone could count as three kids." "Do you want to adopt him?" She asked. "I think you are the perfect option." Severus said hastily. He may want the boy to be safe but there wasn't a snow ball's chance in hell that he was adopting the brat. "Well there we have it. Besides he'll be safest at Doom manor. He'll have someone his age to play with and we'll be able to train him without restrictions." Dawn said. "Harry's like a son to me I'll do whatever I can to make sure that he'll be safe." "Well then it's settled by now Harry would have been given to Lily's sister you two should go get him before anything happens." Dumbledore said. With that left him to try and remember what went wrong with Lily and James.
