The Potter family is a very old one it first started in the twelfth century a wizard by the name of Linfred of Stinchcombe was given the nick name of Linfred the Potterer. Historians credit Linfred as the originator of a number of remedies that eventually evolved into potions still used in the wizarding world today such as Skele-gro and Pepperup potion, which he sold to increase his family's wealth and leave a significant pile of gold to each of his seven children upon his death.
Linfred's eldest son Hardwin married a beautiful witch by the name of Iolanthe Peverall the granddaughter of Ignotus Peverall the original owner of the cloak of invisibility that could hide the wearer from any detection spell. He and his two brothers created three extremely powerful artefacts' one of which was a wand so powerful it made the wielder unbeatable and carved a path through history in blood.
Ignotus who outlived his brothers hid his brother's journals along with his own inside the family vault each journal was full of knowledge on various subjects from battle magic's to extremely advanced transfiguration even the secret on how they created what would become known as the Deathly Hallows.
The Peverall family vault was divided into two parts on one side there was mountains of gold that would increase in size as the Peverall goblin account manager invested it wisely with the help of the Potter family, as a result the Potter family soon become one of the richest pureblood family in the wizarding world.
On the other side of the family vault was a collection of books and scrolls on obscure magic's that if the ministry of magic ever seen they would condemn the name Peverall and strike the family name from the history books. Eventually the connection between the Potter's and the Peverall's would soon become lost only those how actively searched would find such a connection.
Over the centuries many of the Potters added to the family wealth increasing it in size and in the processes becoming friends with many Goblins who had an obsession with gold, each new generation of Potter's would be introduced to the family account manager. Unlike many pureblood families which looked down on Goblin's the potter's treated them with respect which helped many times when the Potter's had to bargain with a Goblin.
The Potter's eventually become known as a light wizarding family that fought against any dark wizard that become a Dark Lord but this was just a façade the potters hated the idea that the ministries of magic enforced rules on magic and divided it into light and dark and as a result they collected any and all knowledge on magic and even had an entire library dedicated to dark rituals and spells.
As time passed and the ministries of magic passed more and more laws that shackled magic the Potter's were forced to hide their vast collection of books and scrolls that even hinted at any dark magic in the family Vault hidden deep inside the Goblin bank Gringotts.
The Potter's were looked down upon by most of the other purebloods as they occasionally married a Muggleborn witch or wizard, during his term on the wizengamont 1913-1921 henry Potter or Haryy to his friends condemned the minister Archer Evermonde who had forbidden the magical community to help the muggles during world war one, thanks to this the Potters were excluded from the sacred twenty-eight.
Henry and his wife eventually had a son that he named Fleamont in tribute to his wife's wishes shortly before she died, Fleamont bore the burden remarkably well only getting into trouble a few times during school by duelling any that made fun of his name. Fleamount after much exterminating created sleekeazy hair potion to combat his messy hair and in the process quadrupled the Potter wealth.
He and his wife Euphemia tried many times throughout the years for a child and no amount of money he spent on potions or on spells to help a woman conceive helped, it wasn't until all hope was lost that Euphemia announced she was pregnant and her son James was born.
James soon after boarding the Hogwarts express became friends with Sirius Black, Remus lupin and Peter Pettigrew eventually there group become known as the Marauders. James tried many times to romance a muggleborn witch called Lily Evans during his time at Hogwarts. Lily who was friends with a young man called Severus Snape refused James citing that he was too immature and a bully.
Lily was a young witch with fiery red hair and bright green eyes being in a new world was exciting for her and she spent every minute she could learning about her new world and her place in it. She was a gifted student that excelled in charms and potions and had even been offered a place as an apprentice to charms master Filius Flitwick.
After an incident involving Severus and the Marauders Lily started to see James in a new light and they eventually started dating much to the chagrin of Severus who had secretly loved Lily since they were young. Lily had become friends with Severus who lived in the same town and both spent their childhood learning about magic.
James and Lily fell in love and Lily quickly became pregnant with their son who James named Harry after Henry, during her pregnancy Lily went in to hiding as the Dark lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters waged war. Voldemort quickly gained power and was feared so much many refused to even say his name for fear summoning the monster.
Fleamount who feared the influence Albus had on James restricted James's control on the Potter wealth which resulted in many fights between him and James, Fleamount and his wife soon lost their lives to Dragon Pox and thus never saw the birth of their grandson.
As the war raged on Albus tried many times to convince James to help fund the order of the Phoenix but thanks to Fleamount's actions James had to deny Albus, which annoyed and angered the old wizard.
Once her son Harry was born Albus Dumbledore heard a prophecy that said a child born as the seventh month dies would have the power to defeat Voldemort. Only two candidates fitted the prophecy harry and Neville Longbottom. Frank and Alice Longbotton soon went into hiding after Dumbledore told them of the danger.
Albus advised the Potter's to hide using the Fidelius charm which was a powerful charm that once cast eared the knowledge of something from people's minds and stored the secret inside the secret keepers soul. After much debating between Lily, James, Sirius and Peter they decided to use Peter as the secret keeper as Sirius said he was too obvious.
And so it was Lily who cast the charm over a small cottage in Grodric's Hollow that was given to James by his father as a wedding present.
Lily upset at the danger her child was in searched for ways to protect young harry and after being allowed access to the Potter family Vault found an old tome which contained a ritual using the blood and sacrifice of the parents to protect Harry.
After reading through the instructions multiple times and many arguments later both James and Lily stood next to Harry's cot as the child slept on peacefully, James glanced at his wife "Are you sure you want to do this now?"
"What choice do we have James? You know he'll come for Harry and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to protect him. That including a ritual that is considered black magic."
James nodded and picked up an ornate knife engraved with many runes, raising the knife with his left hand he quickly cut his right hand he waited as Lily carefully stripped harry of his cloths before passing the knife over to her using his left hand he dipped his finger into the blood and then slowly drew runes across Harry's body "Blood of the father." He whispered as he drew a rune over his child's heart he took a deep breathe "I give my life and all the happy memory's I've yet to receive to protect you harry. So mote it be." He watched as the runes he drew glow a brilliant red before sinking into Harry's skin.
He watched as Lily sliced her hand and with a shaking finger started to draw more runes that he couldn't even begin to understand "Blood of the mother. I give my life and love for you. Protect thy son. So mote it be." Again he watched as the runes glowed before sinking into Harry's skin.
James picked up his wand and with a quick spell healed the wound in his and Lily's hand "So it's done?" he asked as he watched Lily gaze at Harry.
"Yes our part is done. Remember though when he comes we must be unarmed."
James nodded even as he gazed at his wand for a moment before she shook his head "Come on Sirius should be here soon." He said as he placed his wand in his sleeve before tugging he wife out the room.
31 October 1981.
The front door of the cottage was blasted open and a man in black robes stepped through the remains "Run Lily it's him." James shouted as he placed himself between his wife and son and Lord Voldemort. He watched as the man stepped further into the room and finally got his first up close look at the man.
The man if he could be called that had pale skin that had a slight green shine to it, he had no nose but instead had two slits were it should have been, he had deep blood red eyes that if you looked close enough resembled that of a snake.
"Stand aside you foolish fool." Voldemort spoke softly and he raised a bone white wand.
James swallowed the bile he felt and shook his head "No way. If you want harry you'll have to go through me." He said with as much confidence as he could.
"Last chance Potter. Move now."
James watched as Voldemort's wand started to glow with a green light "Fuck you." He said as he spat at the man who casually flicked his wand which caused a bright green flash of light to hit his chest and in the space of a second James knew no more.
"Such a shame." Voldemort muttered as he stepped over the dead body of James Potter and ascended the stairs, had he been looking properly he would have noticed two things.
First was James hadn't even had a wand and the second thing he would have noticed was James's body briefly glowed a bright golden colour but he noticed none of this as he walked towards the room he knew to be Harry's.
Inside the room Lily placed Harry in his cot and knelt down "Momma loves you. Dada loves you. Never forget harry I will never leave your side. I love you sweetheart." She whispered.
She heard the sounds of footsteps and briefly felt something ancient and powerful settle around Harry. She turned to the door as it was blown off its hinges and Voldemort walked inside.
"Step aside mudblood you don't need to die." He said as he pointed his wand at the young witch.
"Not Harry please, take me instead just leave Harry. Please have mercy." She said as she faced the monster.
"Step aside now this is your final warning."
Lily gathered her Gryffindor courage and shook her head "No, you'll have to kill me."
Voldemort nodded and raised his wand as its tip started to glow green "As you wish mudblood. Avada Kedavra." He watched as Lily potter fell to the ground before he turned his attention to the child in the cot.
The child was standing up at looking at him with green eyes the colour of his favourite curse "So you're the child the prophecy spoke off." He said as he walked closer to the child, he reached out with his magic "You're strong I'll give you that I can feel you're magic, but only I can live forever." He slowly raised his wand and basked in the victory he could feel "Goodbye Harry. Avada Kedavra." He snarled and watched as the curse struck the young child and he watched shocked as the curse rebounded and hit him instantly making his body dissolve into ash as he screamed as pain like nothing he ever felt became his world.
An explosion rocked the house as half the ceiling collapsed and windows shattered a screaming black cloud hovered briefly before the child before with a scream it fled through the open ceiling and disappeared into the night.
Back inside the room and tiny black cloud the size of a galleon hovered besides the body before it shot towards the boy and entered a tiny cut inside the child's head, the cut quickly became the shape of a lightning bolt, young Harry dropped in his cot as he fell unconscious.
No one noticed a little brown rat dart into the room pick up the white wand and dart out again.
A man wearing black robes ran into the room and dropped to his knees "Lily." He sobbed as he picked up the woman and cradled her against his chest as he sobbed into her hair.
Minutes later an old man with a long beard tucked into his belt wearing light blue robes walked carefully into the room, he wore an expression of shock as he took in the room.
He ignored the man in black robes for a moment as he walked to young Harry's cot and waved his wand over the child as he whispered in many different languages.
A few minutes later he shook his head and turned to the man "I'm sorry Severus truly." He said as he placed his hand on Severus shoulder.
A few minutes went by before Severus lowered Lily to the floor and with a snarl at Albus Severus disappeared. Albus gently picked up young Harry and walked out the house were Hagrid was standing keeping guard at the front of the house.
"Arry. Is he ok professor." The gruff man asked.
"Yes he's fine. Whose is the bike?" he asked as he pointed to the motorbike leaning against the garden wall.
"Young Sirius bike. He's gone to find eter." Hagrid said as he wiped his eyes with a dirty cloth.
Albus nodded before he looked down at the young child it wasn't safe at the moment in the wizarding world many would try to use the boy for his fame, he pondered on what to do for a moment then an idea struck him.
He carefully handed over the child to hagrid "Here take Harry and meet me at Hogwarts." He waited as the giant climbed on the bike a disappeared into the sky before he walked back into the house and to Lily potter's body using his wand he cut a small cut on her hand and drew some blood "Fawkes." He said before he disappeared into a fiery red ball of fire.
Two days later Albus stood outside a row of houses that all looked the same plain and boring he waved his wand around his hand as he muttered a string of words before a bubble of red expended over the house before it disappeared.
The noise of a motor caused a cat on the wall to jump into the air before it swiftly turned into a stern faced woman "Hello Minerva." He said as he turned to the woman "Shouldn't you be out celebrating."
"You know I can't. Poor Harry." The woman said as she wiped away a few stray tears "Surely you're not leaving young Harry here Albus?" as a motorbike descended from the sky and landed on the road.
Albus to turned to the motorbike as he sighed "I am, I hate to say it but there the only family he has left." He and Minerva started to walk towards Hagrid as he climbed off the bike and carefully reached into the side car.
"Surely there somebody. I've been watching these muggles and I tell you Albus they are the worst sort."
Albus gently took young Harry from Hagrid and walked towards number 4 privet drive "I'm sure Lily's sister will take good care of him. I've explained it all in a letter why they should take him in." he said as he lowered the boy to the ground and placed a letter on top of the basket holding the baby.
He tuned out both Hagrid and Minerva as he observed the child sleeping peacefully thanks to a few potions and spells, he knew the boy to be a Horcrux but didn't know more than that as a human Horcrux should be impossible.
He knew Harry would probably grow up abused and neglected but thanks to the blood wards he raised the boy would be safe here from any in the wizarding world, he turned away from the child "Come let us go." He said as he silenced both with a single look.
He waved his wand over the three of them causing a feeling like an egg being broke over them before he waved his wand at the door knocking it three times.
They watched as a woman with a long neck opened the door and look around before spotting the young child on her door step, she quickly picked up the child before the door was slammed shut.
He turned to both Hagrid and Minerva "Let us be off." He said before Minerva disappeared with a pop and Hagrid jumped on the bike and took to the skies, he turned to look over his shoulder one last time before he too disappeared with a tiny pop.
Unbeknownst to him as Harry started to grow he would have dreams of a school full of magic and times spent travelling the world learning various types of magic, even meeting and learning from a species of half man and half snake.
