Chapter One

Hidden Lives

If Albus Dumbledore made two teens strive to save the life of Sirus Black, then did he just wait and watch the prophecy coming true in the lives of James, Lily & Harry?

That night at Godric's Hollow Albus made an effort to save the lives of his friends. But in the end the wizarding world knew only one thing He Who Must Not Be Named died and Harry survived as well as killed the Dark Lord except for Albus Dumbledore the truth was different for only and only him.

Minutes before Voldemort came to kill the Potters Albus apparated to their hiding place invisibly. He cased a shielding charm first on James who was sitting on the couch in the living room with his hands around an empty bottle of milk. Lily was upstairs in a room with Harry who was playing with some of his toys. Albus made the same shield on Lily and the moment he pointed he wand at Harry the door of the room burst open, it was James his eyes said it all, 'he is coming.' Without a second thought Albus apparated back to Hogwarts.

In his study room Albus was desperately hoping that his shields would work the way he wants them to. He had been working for almost three years now, an industrious effort to improve his shields. An attempt to make a shield which will block the Killing Curse. This was a unique and at the same time a lame effort to shield one from the unforgivable curse. But Albus had faith in the magic within him. He knew there has to be a way to fight this curse if not the other two….but how can one escape death and that from the hands of Voldemort. Even if Dumbledore didn't consider Voldemort as the most powerful wizard he knew he was really strong….but was Voldemort stronger than him? Albus had started to doubt his efforts until the day he found a light of hope. He was not walking on am aimless path. It was not more than seven months from now; Albus was working on his shields as usual. He preferred to take small insects like bugs, flies, slugs to practices the shield for the killing curse on. Small lives had to be taken to save the bigger ones is what he said to himself. He created his shield on a slug that evening shut his eyes and took a breath and moved back. Raised his wand "Avada Kedavra!" for the first time in two years he felt his break…never had shield broke before. It only meant one thing that the slug had been saved from the killing curse. He quickly went near the slug it was not showing any sign of living. He cased a spell to know if it was alive and YES there was a golden glow around the slug which only confirmed that it was alive. What confused Albus that the slug was not moving at all. Later as many times he tried his shield he could feel it break other than the killing curse just passing through his shield and hitting the object. The strategy which Albus used was the way some one made a patronus thinking of a happy memory; he made the shields with an ultimate wish to block the killing curse. It had worked! Up to an extent. Now he just wanted it to work right on James and Lily he felt sorry for Harry he could not shield him. If James and Lily survive and Harry doesn't Albus would never forgive him.

A knock on the door brought him back to the present. Before he could answer Minerva had stepped in the room. "They could not make it…. James & Lily…we lost even them." These words shattered all hopes Albus had but the next words shattered his senses altogether. "The boy lived, Harry, he survived. He Who….Vol... Voldemort…he is dead." With a lot difficulty Albus managed to get up from chair, he was cold to the bones. When he walked towards Minerva he said in a low voice, almost a whisper, "we must leave now…before the sun rises…there are things which need to be taken care of."

All the way to the hiding place of the Lily and James Albus was completely dumbfounded unable to decide. It was a situation of 'to be or not to be'. How could he not be happy to hear that VOLDEMORT had died and a Harry had survived but now he was an orphan, he knew Sirus will be there for him, but still he had also lost his friends, at the same time thousands of probabilities were running through his mind about what had happened at Godric's hollow? 'Maybe James and Lily kept Harry safe in a room and went together to face voldemort , to stop him, and then maybe the killing curse had repelled throughout the room because of his shield and killed all three of them and thus Harry survived. After all magic sometimes worked on its own accord. Albus was content directly or indirectly he saved Harry, but was disappointed that things did not turn up as he expected them to.
