A/N: This was originally going to be the prequel to Heirs of the Past but it took on a life of its own. It shares many of the same plot lines such as Lily being Voldemort's niece. Enjoy.
Chapter one: Reflections
Everyone thought his life was perfect. They never will know how wrong they were… I'm Remus Lupin and this is one of my best friend's story. He was named James Potter and he died sixteen years ago. Sixteen years ago to the day. I also felt that his death in someway was a blessing. It ended what was a horror for him that had lasted fifteen years.
Harry doesn't know and I never plan to tell him. He has too much to worry about know that Dumbledore is gone and Harry is all-alone. He never has to know what hell his father went through and the hands of his own arch enemy… or what horrors James by his own hands.
James was cursed from the first moment he was given Curcio. It took him down a dark path that no one except Sirius, Peter, and I saw. Well, there was another… Lily. She saw and… knew more than we did. She saw it from the beginning and she was related to the monster. Yeah, she and Voldemort were kin. Voldemort was her uncle. She is a Slytherin heir. Now, that is something I will tell Harry, he never has to know that by blood he is Slytherin.
But, by blood he is also Gryffindor. James… he was the heir to Gryffindor. Maybe, that is the reason he went after the Potters in the first place. Completely destroyed the line, besides Harry, of course.
When we found out what Lily was we laughed in the irony. James had always hated Slytherins, yet he was dating one by blood. They never laughed. James said he got her through and dark time. I think she was always helping through his darkest times. Like when he tried to kill himself slowly.
I always feel sorry for her when I think this way. I always somewhat that James dragged her down. Then, I remember it was Voldemort that brought her into this, or Tom, as he was known then. It was so long ago… would you like to see what happen? Would you like to see how a hazel-eyed Gryffindor heir and a Slytherin red-haired Angel got together? The whole twisted and dark tale, which I do not know all of? The story of the Red Angel and the Hazel Gryffindor?
A/N: I defiantly changed the first chapter it is much darker now. This is the beginning of a huge renovation I am doing. Oh, and Lily's part of the story is called Hazel Gryffindor, don't ask why they switched titles, it is a long story. Please read and Review!
