Chapter 1: Prologue
Lily smiled softly as she gazed down upon her newborn son. Her husband, James Potter, stood beside their bed and laid his hand upon his son's brow. This would be their sixth child and Lily knew there would be no more. James and her had decided upon only five children when they had married, but Harry had snuck up on her. She could not even recall when he had been conceived or where, but the minute she found out about her sixth pregnancy Lily told James that she would carry this child to term. James had wholeheartedly agreed.
The twins were absolutely ecstatic when they had found out that they would have a younger sibling. Lily glanced at her two menaces and smiled at the grins they were giving each other as they stared at their little brother. Violet and Edward were not opposites, but the exact same. They both wanted to be scientists when they grew up and they had already started their 'researches', which ended up with some part of the manor in shambles. Lily was just thankful that they had celebrated their seventh birthday or she would be in shambles herself. The twins had dressed almost identical, but Lily knew the difference. They both had the black hair of James, but Violet had James' hazel eyes and Edward had blue eyes from the Potter family.
Standing behind the twins, with her arms crossed, was Raven. Lily already knew that her Raven was going to follow in her parents' footsteps. Already she was training her dragon pokemon to become stronger so that they could be a real challenge for any unsuspecting trainer thinking that she was a weakling. Even though she was only twelve, Raven was much more mature than she seemed. With her blood red locks and her emerald green eyes, she was a dead ringer for a younger Lily, but she did not possess the height that her mother had when she had been younger.
The last two children were the oldest of the six. Dahlia was beautiful and very curvaceous that had so many heads spinning back to stare at her. Her red curls fell to her waist and her eyes were a mysterious grey that came from an ancestor of either the Potters or the Evans. James and Lily were unsure which side it came from, but on Dahlia they looked gorgeous. She was sixteen and she was on her way to becoming a very famous contest competitor. She kept her pokemon in tiptop shape and the judges ate up everything she threw at them. Lily was proud of her oldest daughter and she continuously praised her on her every win.
The first child that was born to the Potters was Henry. Henry was eighteen and was an exact replica of his father. The hazel eyes were hidden behind a pair of glasses and his black hair was an unkempt mess on top of his head. Surprisingly, he did not follow in his parents' footsteps. He was a breeder and was one of the best in the Sinnoh region. His talent showed especially in the pokemon that the family owned. Henry had bred the entire family of Eevees and her evolutions over the span of four years. He kept the 'mother' of the grouping for himself and she was his most trusted companion out of the six he kept with him at all times.
"Lily, do you want me to take Harry so you can get some shuteye?" Lily snapped her emerald green eyes back to her husband and frowned softly. James was staring at her in concern, waiting for her answer. Lily turned her gaze back to her sleeping Harry and sighed ever so softly as she stroked her fingers over his puff of hair.
"Yes." Lily's voice was quiet and drawn with exhaustion. James took his son out of Lily's arms and cradled him to his chest. Lily curled down into her covers and let her head fall to her pillow. The last sight she saw before she let sleep claim her was her family gathering around the new addition.
