Prologue

Laughing could be heard throughout the house as a little boy played with his father. He was bouncing him up and down, and all was right in their world at that moment.

"Quit hogging him James" A scruffy looking man said to the man holding the baby.

"He is my kid Sirius" James Retorted, and the others laughed.

"Thats enough you two." A red haired woman with green eyes scolded them playfully.

"Yes Lily" James and Sirius said at the same time, both with identical grins.

"He is starting to look more and more like you every day James" the last person in the room said.

Sirius laughed. "That he is Remus. That he is." he commented.

"Quit picking on poor Harry" Lily said innocently.

"Hey!" James shouted playfully, "I don't look that bad and you know it".

"Yes dear, whatever you say." Lily replied casually, and they all laughed.

Their son was a little over one year old and he was already showing signs of having powerful magic. You see, these people gathered here were wizards. James and Lily Potter were happily married and Harry was their son. Sirius Black was James best friend; they had been inseparable since their first year of school; He was Harry's godfather. Remus Lupin was another one of their great friends, but ever since he was little he always had a small problem once a month and most avoided him because of it.

Magic was a part of them just like blood was. It was used for fighting, settling differences, wars. But it was also used for more mundane purposes such as cooking, cleaning, housekeeping. They went to a school that taught kids from the age of eleven about magic. They had all been some of the brightest and most troublesome students to ever set foot in the hallways though. While they went through their school years dark forces were gathering in the country. The greatest Dark wizard to ever live was amassing a force to overthrow the wizarding government. They graduated and started doing all they could to oppose him. They all became Aurors; Dark wizard hunters; or Wizard policemen.

They fought with all their might and James and Lily had even fought the Dark Lord on three separate occasions. They all took leaves from work when they found out Lily was pregnant. They helped and defended her till Harry Potter came into the world. He was a quick learner and was always quick to easy to make laugh. He enjoyed playing with his family and had even used accidental magic before he was even one. That was rare, most wizards or witches don't have accidental magic until atleast the age of 6, but it would seen be true when nothing about the boy was normal.

Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster of their former school, and whom most consider the greatest wizard who lived, came to the potters one day and told them some grave news. Their was a prophecy about their little boy. It stated clearly that he would be the one to face the Dark lord and have the power to defeat him, but there was also another perfect candidate. Neville Longbottom was also a perfect candidate, but he believes that the Dark Lord will Choose Harry. He never told them why, but like most people, they trusted Albus with their lives. They went into hiding under a powerful charm that only the people who know exactly where they are can find it, and only one person can tell the location. Everyone believed Sirius to be the secret keeper, as that person was called. But at the last minute they switched it to their other friend, Peter Pettigrew, who unfortunately couldn't make it that night.

It was a perfect afternoon to all the inhabitants of the house, but they had no idea that it would all come to an abrupt end all to soon.

"Well we will see you tomorrow" Sirius said as he and Remus headed towards the front door.

"We had a great time" Remus told them.

"Yes it was lovely" Lily agreed.

"Please stop by tomorrow and have dinner, Harry just loves you both." James said with a smile."{Padfoot, if anything happens..." he started.

"I know Prongs..... I won't let anything happen to him if I can help it." Sirius replied. "You have always been the best brother I could have asked for. I will be there for Harry just as you have been their for me" Sirius told him.

"Thank you Padfoot. That means a lot." James said "You to Moony, I know you feel the same way" He said to Remus.

"I'll be there for him as much as I can, but lets not talk about what ifs. Okay?" Remus said as he tried to smile.

James grinned, "I have always loved you two like brothers I have never had" James told them.

"We are brothers" Sirius said with a grin, and Remus quickly nodded. James gave both of them big hugs.

"Goodbye my brothers. Until next time we meet." James said his goodbye and they both left,

"Why did you bring that up?" Lily asked her husband.

"Because, something doesn't feel right Lily, and I know you feel it to." James said with a frown.

"I know... Shall we take Harry to bed?" She asked.

"Yes" James said, he picked Harry up out of the floor and they both walked up the stairs to Harry's bedroom. "Goodnight my precious little boy" He said as he kissed Harry's forehead and layed him in the bed.

"Goodnight my angel" Lily said as she kissed him too.

They turned around and walked out of the room. Just as they started to head to their room they heard an explosion from outside. Their worst fears were realized... Their friend had betrayed them. They both exchanged looks.

"Lily I love you with all my heart, we know what we must do...." James whispered sadly,

Lily nodded "I love you so much James... I hope Harry lives a good life. I have given Tinky orders to raise him at the manor." She informed him. James nodded, he knew of the plan well because they had spent months devising what would happen if they were found. They shared a brief kiss and James began to walk downstairs. "I love you" Lily whispered. "I love you too" James whispered into the air. A lone tear trickling down his face.

"Ahh James... so glad you decided to join me" he heard a voice hiss.

"Why don't you go crawl under a rock and die Voldemort" James yelled at him.

Voldemort frowned at the insult. "I thought the old fool would have taught you manners James"

"Respect is earned you freak. Now get out of my life." James said with a fierce intensity burning in his eyes. He shot a stunning spell at the Dark lord, but he dodged it easily.

"Your gonna have to do better than that" Voldemort hissed at him angrily.

James then threw every offensive spell he knew at Voldemort, and Voldemort got caught off guard.

"Theres the Lion I remember" Voldemort whispered in surprise.

They both started casting devastating spells at each other. It was a duel most people couldn't even watch because the movements were so fast. Spell after spell from each of their wands, but alas... the Dark lord was the more experienced. He disarmed James and looked at him with a smile on his face. "Do not worry, Your pitiful mudblood wife and son will join you soon enough" he hissed. "Avada kedavra" he whispered and a jet of green light hit James in the chest. He smiled at the dark wizard as the spell hit him. His body fell lifeless to the floor. Voldemort laughed and stepped over it and headed for the stairs.

"Lily, I know your up there" Voldemort taunted her. He began to walk down the hallway as he heard cry behind him. He turned around and walked through the door.

"Leave us alone Voldemort" She yelled at him.

"I would never dream of it my dear." he hissed menacingly.

Tears filled her eyes and she began "Servo meus parum...."

"Avada Kedavra" Voldemort hissed angrily

"angelus per meus vitualamen..." She said as the spell hit her. Her body fell lifelessly to the floor.

"A pity you didn't finish your spell." He told the corpse, while laughing."Now for the reason I am here" He told himself as he walked to the crib.

"Good afternoon Harry" Voldemort told the crying baby.

"Mummy!!! Mummy!!" He cried as loud as he could.

"Now that just won't do" Voldemort said as he pointed his wand at Harry "Avada Kedavra" he hissed. The green light flew at the boy but the second it hit a golden light shone around him. Voldemorts smile disappeared as he saw the green light flying back at him at an incredible speed. He didn't even have time to blink. His body exploded, leaving not a single remain behind. Harry cried for his mother while his home crumbled around him.

"Master Harry" A high pitched voice came through the crumbling. "Oh no! I is being late" A small figure ran into the bedroom and over Lily's body. Tears fell as it did, but the figure didn't have time. She would return for the bodies when Harry was settled. She gathered the crying baby into her arms. He quieted at the touch. "Hold on" She whispered. With that they both disappeared into the air.
