Chapter-1-Prologue
1st January 1981, Potter manor
James Potter was wandering over the battlements of the outer wall of Potter Manor. The wall was eighty feet by forty feet and had all kinds of ancient magic imbued in them and it surrounded all the buildings that formed the ancestral home of the Potter's. About eight hundred feet from the outer wall lay the even stronger inner wall which was imbued with defensive magic. On the other side of the inner wall were the gardens which was filled with statues and ponds and trees which when in full defensive mode would act as another shield. Beyond the inner gardens lay the buildings which were the main manor and other buildings which were all inter connected and which looked like a miniature village.
He knew that in full defensive mode it was the safest place in the world even safer than Hogwarts or Gringotts- which everyone considered to be the safest place. Ofcourse no one bar the Potters knew the full power of the Potter Manor.
At present his father was working on a ten minute ritual which will give access to Sirius Black and Remus Lupin his best friends and brothers in all but blood access into the house. He tried contacting his other best friend Peter Pettigrew, but he was not found so he decided he would add him at a later date. The floo and other magical means of travel were blocked earlier today. At the moment only his father and mother who were staying here along with him , his wife and son and Lily's parents who were invited today were allowed access.
His mind wandered back to earlier that afternoon when the news that prompted the lockdown of potter manor, the invitation of Lily's parents to the manor, the news that wil affect his whole family and might well affect the entire wizarding world. He had yet to reveal it to anyone. He was waiting for dinner when his best friends and his whole family would be at the same place as he didn't feel he could repeat it more than once.
He still remembered how surprised he was to receive a summon from Albus Dumbledore, his old headmaster and the leader of light, upon arrival he was even more surprised to find his headmaster looking gravely at him. He was puzzled but as soon as he was joined by his fellow auror and order member Frank Longbottom, he quickly learned the reason for that.
He could still hear the voice of the seer in his head
"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…And the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not….And either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives…The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies….."
Both he and Lily had defied the dark lord three times and so had Frank and his wife Alice, and curiously enough both his son and Frank's were born just a day apart from each other and both at the end of July. And according to the prophecy either his son Harry or Frank's son Neville had the potential to defeat the Dark Lord. He hated divination and he knew Frank never really cared for the subject either. Both of them at first wanted to dismiss the idea, but then Dumbledore told them about the death eater who had heard about the first part of the prophecy after which he was found and was thrown out. That piece of news was a major setback for the fathers as they were sure that by now the death eater would have relayed the message to his lord. With that piece of news in mind they had to agree with Dumbledore that they could not ignore the prophecy and they had to take safety precautions. After discussing some more they had decided to meet the next day and decide on appropriate action after discussing with their respective families.
He had returned immediately to Potter manor and asked his father to activate the defensive mechanisms while he went to his home and he told the elves to pack their belongings and he found his wife in the nursery playing with their son.
Upon her husband's arrival Lily Potter knew that something was up and she immediately placed her son on her hips and rushed to his side. She could always read him like a book and he could read her too. They were perfect for each other. He took their son from her arms and hugged him. Her fears were confirmed.
" Jamie, what's wrong…what did Dumbledore want?" Lily asked him with concern in her eyes.
" Lils, He called me and Frank to discuss some information that may affect ours or Frank's family. So I stopped by Potter manor and informed mom and dad to expect us for dinner tonight as I rather say it only once to the whole family." James replied seriously as he watched his son playing with his hands.
"Is it bad?" Lily asked him with fear and concern in her voice.
Turning away from his son he saw his wife and as always he had trouble tearing his eyes away from her lovely green eyes which their son now shared and right now those eyes looked worried.
"I hope not. Lils I am not sure whether it will affect us or not, but we will face whatever it is as a family. That's why I have arranged this family dinner tonight, you go and call your parents and your sister and family if possible while I floo call the marauders." She left him after kissing his cheek.
He knew that whatever happens they would deal with it as a family, after all "Family Comes First" was the motto of the Potter family. He had immediately floo called Sirius and Remus, but could not find Peter and they both had agreed immediately to the dinner. Lily had returned immediately with her parents , she had tried contacting her sister Petunia and her family but she refused. So they decided they would immediately go to the manor. After arriving at the manor James and his dad had immediately set in motion the ritual which would lead to the arrival of Sirius and Remus and his mind drifted to his present predicament of how he would tell the news to his family.
His musings were interrupted by the voice of his father Charlus Potter
" Are you alright son? " Charlus Potter asked his son with worry and anxiousness hidden in his voice. He as an ex-auror and the present member of wizengamot knew about the realities of war against Lord Voldemort and he along with his fiend Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody were considered to be the best aurors the ministry ever had, so as soon as his son arrived here with his family in tow and asked him to activate the defence mechanisms, he knew something was up. He didn't ask any questions as he knew his son well and he knew whatever it was he will tell him eventually.
" I am alright dad. Are the wards set?"
"Yes son only us and Sirius and Remus can come here. Let's go son, lunch will be ready soon. "
As the father and son made their way to the manor, Charlus Potter hoped that whatever was about to happen, his family would get through it safe. .
