Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. Wish I did

Lumorem Heré

          Severus Snape stood among the ranks of the many assembled Death Eaters, wishing that this were all a horribly realistic nightmare. However, reality was not on his side, and so here he was, about to be inducted into Voldemort's Inner Circle, and as his trial mission, he was going to lead the contingent of Death Eaters to the Potter homestead based on a prophecy that Hogwarts' new Divination prospect had told a certain Hogwarts headmaster. Unfortunately  for Voldemort, the spy was caught, and so he only had the first few lines, which were:

"The One with the Power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches

Born to those who have thrice defied him,

Born as the Seventh month dies..."

The rest was lost to all but Dumbledore, and the Department of Mysteries, who kept an official record of these things. Augustus Rookwood was an Unspeakable, but not high enough up to access prophecies.

So now Voldemort had told Lucius Malfoy, who was very high up in the Ministry, (but, unbeknownst to him, was another spy for Dumbledore) to look in the records of the Department of Child Affairs to see which children were born at the end of July. There were two. Harry Potter and Neville Longbottom.

 Frank and Alice Longbottom were high-ranking Aurors, but, since Lily Potter was the current Mistress of Magic, he believed it was little Harry. What they did not know was that Harry was actually Lily's and Severus' child, or that the two of them were married, and James was just posing as Lily's husband, or, furthermore, that Lily and Severus were actually High Elves. Not just any elf, but royalty. Which made Harry, or Morningstar, as was his actual name, the Heir. James was his cousin.

Following that line of thought, you would find that elves were immortal, and so nothing you did would ever kill them. Voldemort, thinking that they were human, was trying to do exactly that. Avada Kedavra would not have any effect on them at all. All they would see was a flashing green light

"Ah, my friends! "exhaled the Dark Lord, "it is time! The Potter boy and his wretched family shall be destroyed!"

Severus almost laughed. 'Boy, is he going to get a shock' he thought sarcastically 'No, no. I must not show a reaction. My position would be compromised.'

          "Time to go!" the thing that dared to call itself a dark lord called cheerfully "Well? We can't keep them waiting!"

And so they all Apparated to the Potter residence.

****

Severus, however, apparated to the bedroom of the mansion.

"Lily! LILY!!!" he shouted.

Lily rushed in, her auburn hair whirling behind her.

"Yes, Sev? What is it? He's here?"

"Yes, and he's come to kill Harry! For more time, I activated the time freeze galad'ryr."

Galad'ryrs were special objects, which, if you did not have the power to do so, let you manipulate the elements. This particular one was set to freeze time for the outside world, and was set to activate whenever Sev apparated on the Manor with a serious situation.

"Good! Now, what do you think we should do?"

"Well, we know that if he tries to attack Harry, the curse will go back to him at triple the power, because of his elven blood, so that should get rid of him. But we would still have hordes of Death jackasses to deal with. What would we do?"

" I think that if we jus disappear after he is killed, and go to our manor, which nobody knows about but us, James, Lucius, Narcissa, and Draco, we should be fine. You can let them in."

"Okay. Off I go then!"

He apparated out, canceling the time freeze, to join his "fellow" Death-jackasses.

"Now," said Voldemort, "we march!"

Peter Pettigrew blasted the door open. Or tried to. A jet of purple light shot out sending him 350 feet into the air, and 200 meters back, with the force of a firing cannon. He fell to the ground, dead, having broken his neck.

"Ah, well, he served his part anyway." sighed Voldemort.

"Allow me." said Lucius. He opened the door. The door, recognizing him, opened.

They streamed in. Voldemort immediately proceeded upstairs, heading for the master bedroom. Lily appeared. Behind her was Harry's cradle.

"Stand aside!" demanded Voldemort

"No."

"STAND ASIDE!!"

"No."

"I'll kill you!!"

"Try me."

"Avada Kedavra!!"

The curse shot out of Voldemort's wand and hit Lily.

Nothing happened.

He stood there, slack-jawed, and angrily pushed past her.

"The child…" breathed Voldemort

"Do not touch my son." Said Severus and Lily together.

"My godson." said Lucius, Narcissa, who had been at the back, Remus Lupin, and Sirius Black, who had arrived with a host of Aurors.

"My cousin." Said James

"My nephew." Said Albus Dumbledore and Petunia Dursley, who had also just arrived.

After about ten seconds of standing still, Voldemort went into action. "No, I think I will. What are you going to do about it?"

"Avada Kedavra!!!!" The curse went straight into "Harry" forming a lightning bolt cut on his forehead. This started to glow, as did eighteen hands. From each one came a beam of green light, and the two became one. The ten beams of light further combined into one, throwing the power of 540 (since all was tripled) Killing Curses at Voldemort. It vaporized his mind, magic, body, and soul, and sent a enormous wave of heat throughout the house, killing every person except the ten involved, and the Auror company, for a mile radius.

"Is he….dead?" asked Petunia.

"Yes, I believe so. All four parts of him. How are the rest of you?" replied Albus.

"Drained" was the general consensus.

"Well, I suggest we all proceed to Aloc y Hain Manor."

"I agree." said Severus. He held out his hand, which started glowing silver and purple. A hole appeared in midair, then lengthened to form a sort of round doorway. Inside it showed the interior of Lily and Sev's living room. She waved a hand, and all possessions in their current place shrunk, flew through the portal to their correct places in the other house, and re-enlarged. The people followed, but before closing the portal, Sev stuck his hand through and shouted, "Incendio!". He closed the portal, leaving the dead, empty house to burn to the ground.

Please review! It would make my day, since this is my first fic. Constructive criticism welcome. Flames will be used by my phoenix on her Burning Day.
