I am reposting this. Just a few changes to each chapter. I rewrote a lot of my plot and ideas. I will also be redoing the poll at a later date. however I may also go my own way or take the result's of the last poll. I am sorry for the long wait but I will be keeping up roughly a weekly posting schedule unless life gets in the way and I don't have time but this story is complete. There may or may not be a sequel or I might end up splitting it up. Just bare with me.
Lily Potter glanced at the clock again, it was almost 7. Right on time the floo activated and a young woman stepped out and smiled at the young woman's worry.
"Hey Lils, don't worry the twins will be fine with me."
Lily smiled and hugged the woman, "I know they will Lottie, I'm just worried."
Lottie was about to reply when Sirius Black entered the room.
"All ready Lily-flower?" he asked shooting a smile at Lottie who all but melted under his gaze.
"Sirius," Lily said in a warning tone, "Stop flirting with my friends."
"Oh, I don't mind Lily," Lottie answered.
"You should."
"Aww, come on Lils, the lady doesn't mind."
Luckily James Potter entered the room and interrupted the budding argument.
"We all ready to go?" he asked.e
Lily sighed, "I suppose so, we'll be back before midnight hopefully, you know how these things are."
Lottie laughed, "Just go already. We'll be fine, the twins probably won't wake up. I'll just eat all of your chocolate and watch girl flicks."
James snorted, "Leave some for Remus or he'll kill you," he warned.
As the group of three left the house for the meeting still laughing a meeting of the non.
2 hours later:
Lottie was halfway through her second movie (and almost all the chocolate) when the door opened, thinking it to be the others coming back she left her wand on the table beside her and walked through to the entrance hall.
Lord Voldemort laughed. "This is too easy," he thought to himself as he almost lazily shot a killing curse toward the young woman. She had no chance of getting out of the way.
He made his way up the stairs slowly towards a door surrounded in lions with a sign on it proclaiming this to be
"Harry James and Julia Severus Potters' room so back off unless you want to be pranked.
Messrs Moony, Padfoot and Prongs"
"Gryffindors." He muttered as he pushed open the door. He stared at the two toddlers lying side by side in a cot. As he was pointing his wand at Twin Number One, they woke up. The boy started to wail and the girl just stared at him, there was fear in those green eye's yes but there was also something else. Determination, defiance? It didn't matter, he now knew which twin to kill.
He slowly lifted his wand and pointed it at Julia.
"Avada Kedarva," he whispered and watched as the green light shot towards the girl who put of a hand as if to stop it. Inwardly he laughed but then the impossible happened a purple light shot out of her palm, surrounding her and her brother as a sort of shimmering shield. The curse went through the shield and bounced off her palm shooting back at its caster. Voldemort had no chance to avoid it. As the room collapsed around them a stray piece of rubble hit Harry's forehead and gave him a lightning shaped scar.
At Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardy Lily Potter jumped up from her seat in the headmaster's office, she knew in that way that only Mothers know that something was wrong, that something was very wrong.
By the time the order made it to the house in Godrics Hollow it the nursery was destroyed. Dumbledore arrived first and stared down at the two children before whispering a spell under his breath, and smiling. He glanced once more at the pile of black robes that used to be Lord Voldemort and picked their savior up.
"Lily, James," he called. "Your son has destroyed Lord Voldemort, he is marked and will be a powerful wizard one day. I did a spell to see which twin it was as they both will have scars and found that your daughter's magical core is very small and she will never be a strong witch. The scar on her left hand is probably from a piece of flying debris"
Boy-who-liveds 2nd Birthday
By Rita Skeeter
Yesterday was a celebration for wizards and witches everywhere. Not only is it the anniversary of the defeat of You-know-who but it was also our saviors birthday.
Now 2 year old Harry Potter had a birthday party to rival every other and which this reporter was lucky enough to attend. Games, fun and laughter followed by cake and a mountain of presents would be any child's dream.
Lily and James Potter would like to thank all those who sent gifts for their child's birthday.
Continued pg 5.
Julia Potter scowled and threw the newspaper into the fire just as her Mother walked into the room.
"Julia," Lily yelled, "What are you doing? Get to your room now. We were saving that for your brother's scrapbook."
Julia slipped off the couch and walked past her mother and up the stairs. There was no point in saying anything, her mother wouldn't listen.
3 years later
James glared at the young girl in front of him.
"What did you think you were doing?" he asked, his voice cold.
"I wanted to play." Julia whispered.
"With your brother's toys? That room is for your brother to play in, not you. When you save the Wizarding world you can play in there, understood? Get back to your room. Right now me and the Boy-who-lived are going to as Quidditch match and we couldn't get tickets for you so you're not coming."
Julia wished for the hundredth time that she could get up the courage to leave and never look back but she couldn't, where would she go? Instead she ran up to her room where her only friend was waiting, Somul.
"Hello Somul, are you having a nice day?"
"Hello Young One. What happened?"
"I was looking for my book that Harry took and I got into trouble."
The snake slid up onto the bed and onto her lap.
"I will stay with you Young One, never fear."
Julia sighed and summoned the book she was reading off the shelf. It was "Rare and Unusual Potions Ingredients."
"We have this one, don't we Young One?" Indicating a plant with her tail.
Julia nodded and glanced towards the small, slim boxes at the end of her bed and bit her lip.
"It says that it can cost up to 20 galleons per gram. Do you think we should sell it? We have more than a gram. I could buy new books and food and snacks for you."
"I think that is a good idea Young One, but you must be careful. There are people who will try and use you to their own advantage or rip you off. I will come with you and make sure that doesn't happen."
"But how?"
"I shall show you."
Somul wrapped around her arm, shrinking as she went. When she had shrunk to a reasonable size she turned into a large silver bracelet wrapping around Julia's arm. Her head was at Julia's wrist and she moved it and stared at her.
"If someone asks tell them I am a protection bracelet and will bite anyone who tries to attack you."
Julia nodded and carefully packed everything she had collected into the small suitcase. She made her way down the stairs and waited until she was sure everyone else had left before creeping over to the floo. But where to go? She made up her mind.
"Diagon Alley."
6 years later
11 year old Julia stared at the owls heading towards the house. It was a lovely morning so she was eating her breakfast under the shade of an oak tree just past the tree line. One of them veered off and headed towards her. Her Hogwarts letter, at last.

Julia smiled, she already had most of those books, this would be easy. By the time she got back to the house it was abandoned , the Potter's having left for Diagon Alley.
She ran up to her room, smiling.
"Somul, it's here. It's finally here!"
The now much larger snake smiled. She was happy for her Young One and angry at the other Potters. She knew that they weren't' in the house anymore but her Young One didn't need them.
"Well, I suppose it's about time we take more ingredients to Lennox, isn't it? Maybe get your equipment on the way, yes?"
"Thanks Somul. We might just do that, hopefully avoid my brother on the way there as well?"
