It had so many effects on families. Many died fighting for their kind, some disobeyed the dark lord and others just split up over stress.
There were very few families that did stay together, among them were the Potters, the Weasleys, Diggorys, and the Blacks."
Lily, James, and James's childhood friends Remus, Sirius and Peter wanted the very best for their future kind; they felt that is was their duty to the next generations to do something.
Lily and the fellow Marauders decide to form their own little society only letting one other couple join a few months later. James, who worked for the ministry, asked his close friend, Amos, to join their small society. At first Amos was not sure about entering; afraid of what might happen to his job. But he had his own son, Cedric, who was not many years of age. Amos wanted to see him grow up into a fine young man, and be there when he gets married to a lovely woman. So he joined.
Not many years after, Amos found out some very bad news from the department of mysteries. He went to report to James, but he was not in his office. So Amos went behind James's desk and found some parchment and a quill.
He wrote;
James,
Owl me after you've completed your mission.
Amos Diggory
James was of course an auror along with Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew.
Amos put the note on top of the Daily Prophet which was still untouched, so that James would see it as soon as he returned from his mission. As Amos went to walk back to his part of the ministry he came across Sirius Black's path. Amos had never really liked the man, maybe it was his family's reputation but we shall never find out.
"What were you doing in there?" Sirius pointed to James's office which was down the hall.
"Nothing that is any of your interest, Black," Amos spoke with not a slightest bit of fear in his voice.
It was a cold and dark night on the twenty sixth of June when hell was at its peek for the wizarding world.
James and Lily were prepared for what was to come later that evening. Remus, Sirius, Peter and Amos went to James and Lilly's house that very night to prepare for the dark lord.
They had all set out that morning to lead the dark lord to the Potters residence, in order to destroy him once and for all.
James and Lily were prepared for what was to come later that evening. Remus, Sirius, Peter and Amos went to the Potter's house that very night to prepare for the Dark Lord.
Throughout the past year James, Sirius and Peter were set on missions to destroy the Darks Lord's few horcruxes. They had succeeded in doing so.
It was eleven twenty-five when the dark lord did show up determined to kill both Potters. Which in theory should not of been so difficult, but in fact it was.
It took about twenty-five minuets to kill the dark lord that very night and all of the death eaters that were following him. All six of them came out unharmed only a few scratches and minor cuts, but nothing worth going to St. Mungos for.
After Lily and Remus had cast many cleaning charms and Sirius lazily cast Reparo, The Potter residence was back as the lovely peppermint green, wonky cottage with a thatched roof
Amos and Sirius didn't even utter a word to each other throughout the whole evening until,
"I must be off" Amos exclaimed.
"So soon Amos?"Lily said she poured yet another cup of tea. "Where do you have to be so soon?"
"Afraid so Lily, I don't want my son to worry about me" Amos stood up.
"Wife as well eh?" Sirius said lazily
"Yes of course" Amos sneered, grabbed his coat and bid goodbye to Remus and James and Peter.
Amos apparated a few miles from his front door and walked the rest off the way back home.
It was starting to get very cold despite it was the middle of June.
"How very strange" Amos whispered to himself.
When he got home and unlocked the door to his brick house, Cedric, his only son ran, down the stairs at such a pace Amos could have sworn Cedric had apparated.
"Dada" Cedric came running down the stairs with a little white kitten. "Your home"
The cat had jumped out of Cedric's hands on the last step of the stairs and Cedric had plunged himself at his farther's legs.
Amos chuckled as he picked his son up, "And how's Prince Ced?"
"Prince good" Cedric said "Mummy is in there"
"Right, thank you son" Amos put Cedric down and walked into the kitchen which flowed straight from the living room. Cedric followed his dad and sat down on a chair with his mothers help.
"You know, Cedric darling, you really shouldn't stay up this late" Cedric mother put some soup into three bowls
"I wanted dada!" Cedric looked as if he was on the urge of tears.
"Emily you shouldn't be so hard on him, it isn't like we've given him much of a social life for almost two years now." Amos spoke just before he spooned a mouth full of soup into his mouth.
"I know but-" Emily got cut off by Cedric.
"When aunty Lily having baby mummy?" Cedric looked into his mothers eyes.
"Soon darling but you won't really be able to play with him or her for a while darling" Emily said knowing that she shouldn't get Cedric's hopes up.
A few moments later Cedric jumped out of his chair and shouted. "WHY DON'T YOU TRUST ME." He did not ask a question it was more of a statement.
Cedric went running up the stairs into his bedroom slamming the door to show he was angered.
Cedric didn't have a bad vocabulary for a two year old, it was his mother who spent most of her days trying to get Cedric to walk and talk as quickly as possible. Cedric soon grasped how to do both and he was a very keen learner.
After a few moments walking around his room in a mood Cedric flopped on his bed exhausted from his outburst.
Cedric had always wondered about Lily's baby, he had hoped it would be a boy so they could play quidditch. He had always had to play by himself, so he was excited to have someone else to do so with.
But it seemed as if tonight his one dream had been crushed, all he wanted was someone he could play with and talk to other than parents who never understood.
Life was so boring at his house. Well Cedric thought so.
It was the month after the so called 'dark lord' was killed by the Potters Society when Harry Potter was born. Lily and James decide to name Harry after his father's middle name, Harold, and also gave Harry his dad's first name.
A year passed and it was not long before Cedric could play with Harry like he had always wanted to.
