Chapter One – Night at Godric's Hollow

James Potter was in their sitting room with His son, Harry, watching him make puffs of smoke come out of his wand laughing every time. Lily Evans-Potter walked in the room and joined her husband and his son. James stopped when he heard a creak and thought that it was the gate. I don't think I invited Sirius until later. He thought. He looked down and a man in a black cloak opened the door. James looked at his wife and told her to run, run and never come back, but she refused and he couldn't argue any longer because the man has made his way to the sitting room where they were.

'How nice to catch all the Potters.' He said with what looked like a smile. 'Hand me the child.' The man wearing the cloak said demandingly. He reached into his robe for his wand raised it, but did not cast a spell.

James being a clever and practiced Auror silently created a shield around Him, his son and his wife. Lily carried her son on one arm and her wand with her other hand. 'No.' she said with all her confidence. She looked at James making a signal.

'Very Well. Silly Potters Love never lasts, you will all die. But if you wish to die as one family, I shall grant it. I am the Dark Lord; I will grant my victims what they want... Avada Keda-'

'Expelliarmus!' both James and Lily shouted disarming Voldemort. Voldemort summoned his wand continued the curse but the shield was powerful, it was made out of protection and love and everything Voldemort will never understand.

A flash of green light erupted but backfired, a small light broke a small whole of the shield, making its way to the baby, and created a lightning scar on the baby's forehead. When the flash was gone, Voldemort was gone. James Potter has killed the dark powerful wizard. But that wasn't the first thought that went to his mind, Where was his son? Where was his wife? He turned around, His son was crying, His wife was unconscious but breathing. He was thankful, They had survived.

He cast a charm on his wife, to wake her, she stirred sat up and started feeling her head.
'Wh-What Happened? HARRY!' She looked for her son, her son was in her husband arm's, crying.
'James? What Happened?' She asked crawling to where her son and her husband were.
'The Dark Lord... Voldemort... He's gone.' James said with a smile, still trying to make his son calm down.

Voldemort... is gone. We're alive. We, James, Harry and I are alive. We have defeated him. Lily lifted her son from James and started crying. 'Lily? Are you okay?' James asked wondering why his wife was crying. She smiled and kissed his husband and kissed Harry's forehead, which made him stop crying. She looked down and saw that a scar was on Harry's head. She was worried, they had survived, but why was there a scar on her baby's head?

'James. Contact the Order.'

Albus Dumbledore was first to arrive at Godric's Hollow. The village was quiet, it was after all, 12 midnight and the Potter's house is after all, under the fidelus charm. The only explanation for Voldemort to be able to enter the Potter's house was of course the betrayal of the secret keeper, Peter Pettigrew.

Albus made his way to the house, knocked and waited for James Potter to answer. James opened the door, worried and tired plastered on his face but with a smile Welcoming Dumbledore.

'Good Evening James and Congratulations! You have the defeated the Dark Lord.' Albus said, shaking James's hand. 'I must ask James, Why have you contacted us? Everything seems rather fine. And I think the Celebrating could wait until tomorrow…'

'It's... Harry.' James said and motioned for him to go to the sitting room where Lily was pacing. She stopped and looked at Dumbledore.

'Professor.' Lily said looking up at welcoming Albus with a hug.

'Why, Mrs. Potter, You look very very worried. It seems that you're not happy? You and your husband have just defeated the Dark Lord...'

'Professor-'

'Lily, What have I told you? I am no longer your Professor, but Albus.'

'Er... Yes, Albus, I am worried you see. When Voldemort said the killing curse, it backfired at him but it made Harry a scar. I cannot understand sir Er... Albus. He is fine, but I have a feeling the scar will hurt him. I was wondering... if you know...'

'Ahhh, but Lily, I am not a healer. Though, if my guess is right. This boy, your son, Harry, has saved the wizarding world. I believe you remember... the Prophecy, James?' James was staring at Lily and Albus.

'I... Yes... '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 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...''

'You see, Harry, has been marked equal. He has defeated the Dark Lord with the help of the shield created by you, James. It was strengthened by your love and determination. Your family will be famous. Your son will be known.' Albus said with a smile.

'So the scar...' Lily started.

'Is nothing but a scar. It is a reminder that your son is the one who had vanquished the Dark Lord.' It was silent for a few moments as James and Lily try to absorb everything. Then suddenly, someone opened the door. They pulled out their wands but Albus said that, they didn't need too.

'THAT STUPID, ANNOYING, TRAITOR RAT!' Sirius said stepping into the Potter's sitting room.

'Good Evening, Sirius.' Albus said.

'Oh... Er... Sorry Professor...'

'It is fine. I understand how you feel because of a sad betrayal of a friend… Lily, Do you want tea? You need to relax and put color back in your beautiful face. You too James, and Sirius.' Dumbledore conjured a teapot with four mugs and a tray of pastries. Each grabbed a mug and started drinking. They relaxed and then it hit them, The Dark Lord, Voldemort is gone. But clearly, to Sirius, he was not done.

'WHAT IF YOU DIED? I COULD NEVER FORGIVE HIM! I COULD NEVER FORGIVE MYSELF! I PROBABLY WON'T! WHY DID I AGREE TO SWITCH PLACES JAMES, WHY DIDN'T YOU STOP ME?' Sirius asked shouting.

'Padfoot, Calm down. We just put Harry to bed.' James said motioning for a crib at one corner of the sitting room, trying to calm his best friend down. Sirius sat down, defeated. 'I'm sorry Prongs, Lily. I should've known. Little Rat. I'm gonna find him and kill him.' Sirius said with anger and determination. Lily stood up sat down beside Sirius and looked him in the eye.

'Sirius, you will not kill Peter. He shall rot in hell for betraying his friends to Voldemort. His conscience shall kill him instead. We don't want you to end up in Azkaban. So, don't end up doing something that stupid. Okay, Sirius? Do you understand me, Sirius Orion Black?' Sirius nodded and hugged Lily. Albus was there, just smiling at everyone. The rest of the Order soon arrived. Everyone congratulating the Potters for defeating the Dark Lord. The Potter's being modest, simply smiled.

The order was going home, one by one to be able to rest and leave the Potter's to relax after that encounter with defeating Voldemort. Harry woke up to join the celebration, being kissed on the forehead by the order and being told of his cuteness.

Harry was currently sleeping on his father's arms. When both Sirius and Remus entered the sitting room after volunteering to help Lily clean up the mess that was caused by the backfire of the killing curse, and therefore was not fixed due to the Order's arrival.

'Prongs, do you mind if I crash here?' Sirius asked.

'Padfoot, you know they need time for family….' Remus started.

'Oh... Right.' Sirius said with a smile scratching the back of his head. 'I guess we should-'

'No, it's fine. Moony, Padfoot stay.' James said looking up to both his best friends. They sat down on the couch, Sirius taking up most of the space. Soon, Remus and Sirius were asleep, with Sirius snoring. James smiled at his best friends and looked down at his son. He smiled, kissed his forehead and waited for his wife.

The Potters have survived and Voldemort is forever gone. Well, that's what we think.
