"Avada Kedavra!"
The sickly green spell came towards young Harry and Nicholas Potter, and just before it struck, Harry pushed Nicholas out off the way. The spell rebounded off of Harry, cutting his forehead and killing Voldemort instantly. The magical backlash of what had just happened ripped through the house, making the picture frames rattle and things fall of their shelves. A small trinket fell from the shelf above the cot the toddlers were occupying, cutting Nicholas.
Downstairs, James had just recovered from passing out. He instantly ran up the stairs to the nursery. After seeing that the boys were alive and not in immediate danger, he knelt beside Lily.
"Lily! Lily! Oh please, please don't be dead!" James choked out. He checked her pulse, relieved to feel the steady beat of her heart. With a quick re-enervate, Lily opened her eyes.
"James, are the boys okay?" Lily asked, fear evident in her voice.
James picked them up, one in each arm, and brought them over to Lily. Noticing the dried blood on their foreheads, Lily cleaned it away with a flick of her wand, and gasped at what she saw.
On Harry's forehead there was a scar the shape of a lightning bolt. Nicholas had a scar also, in the shape of the number 7.
"James, which one of them did it? Which one killed You-Know-Who?"
"I don't know, Lils. The Order should have been contacted, we can asked Dumbledore when he gets here.
Lily just hugged Harry and Nick to her chest and started sobbing, the realization finally sinking in on how close she had been to losing her boys.
"So Dumbledore, which one is the Chosen One?"
Lily and James were currently sitting in Dumbledore's office in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Dumbledore took a long look at the boys before responding.
" I believe that Nicholas is the one who defeated him. As you know, the number seven is said to be a very powerful number. Nicholas would have needed great power to defeat Voldemort, and that is what the scar most likely represents. You must start training him in a few years. I do not believe that Voldemort is truly gone, and young Nicholas must be ready for when he returns."
These words had a great impact on the future life of Harry James Potter.
