(The picture is how I imagine Jane in the future)
As I looked up to my parents faces I saw rage and fear, "Get out of our house Lestrange" my father snarled deeply. "Oh, now Drew, why kick your dear cousin out just yet, we only just got here" she said in a mocking tone. I now got a closer look at her, she had black straight hair, hollow cheeks, and overall pretty features.
Death eaters.
I finally realized who the intruders were. As a one year old I definitely knew a lot, an have more common sense than regular kids my age. When I was born I immediately knew what I was doing, when I turned one on March 23rd I got my first wand, and learned advanced spells. But no-one knew the cause of all of my knowledge. As both of my parents were Aurors for the Ministry of Magic, our home was used sometimes as a safe house on missions, then I learned what was going around in the Wizarding world, the First Wizarding War. My parents knew that they were going to be hunted by Voldemort and his Death Eaters because they were part of the Order of The Phoenix, and of course knew the Potter's whereabouts. And now this was the day the Death Eaters decided to torture my parents for information.
"Victoria, take Jane to Andromeda's and Ted's, I will come back for you" my father told my mother sternly. "I will do no such thing Drew! I will stand here by your side until the end" my mother returned to my father with the same tone.
"Alright Jane go to the Potters we will come back for you, and don't get caught, go the secret way James and I made for you and Harry" my father whispered to me. I looked up at them and realized that they really need me to go, "I love you", I told them, "We will love you more than ever Jane remember that." my mother told me, "now go". As I turned to leave in the bushes, I heard Bellatrix shout "Levicorpus!" as I felt myself being hoisted into the air like an invisible hook was holding me by the ankle. "JANE!" my parents cried "Come and get it" laughed Bellatrix while dangling me in the air, like fish bait.
She dragged me into the window while my parents broke into the house before anything happened to me. I was still in the air as my parents ran into the full room. "Put her down, now!" barked my father. "As soon as you give us the whereabouts of the Potters and Sirius Black" snarled Dolohov. "No, you have no business with them" my mother said firmly.
"Alright then", CRUCIO!" Bellatrix Lestrange and Dolohov shouted as my parents screamed, twisted and contorted their own faces with pain and agony. They were in that position for a long time while the two death eaters were trying to get answers from them. It's at times like these that people go over the line to protect someone or something they love. It was at this time that I knew that my parents were never going to give information to the death eaters. It was at this time that I knew that my parents were never going to give in. I looked around for my own wand and murmered "Confundus" towards Bellatrix.
As she was confused and looking around Igor Karkaroff took me by the wrist and dragged me to the middle of the room and held a sharp dagger with green emeralds embedded in it to my throuaght.
"You're going to watch them suffer. You're going to watch them suffer then die. Right in front of your green pretty eyes" he growled.
As Bellatrix finally uncovered for her confusion, she looked at me and said "You look so much like your mother, shame. She was such a whore."
I squirmed under Karkaroff's grip, while I did my his dagger created a surfaced slit on my neck.
"I see you took after her stupidity also" Bellatrix smirked.
"She looked down at my parents who were still screaming and squirming under Dolohov's curse, she met his gaze and pointed her mom at my mother as Dolohov did the same with my father.
"Avada Kedavra" they both muttered in sync.
Bellatrix turned to me, "I think I'll just leave you here and finish you off in the future. But I do want you to remember who I am to you and that I will never forget about you".
"You don't scare me you bitch" I told her, "YOU JUST KILLED YOUR COUSIN, HE NEVER DID ANYTHING TO YOU". As stood up to her a new felling over came me, my parents died without knowing what I was to become. Now I'm going to make them proud.
"You think that I don't want to kill you too, well your wrong",and with a smirk she turned and apparated away along with the other death eaters.
I looked down at my parents' corpses. They eyes open, filled with pain, sorrow, and regret.
I leaned against the wall and let my emotions go.
As far as I know many wizarding families have lost their loved one's before especially now with the war. Why was I different?
Not even ten minutes had passed and the Order of the Phoenix arrived to the scene. I never thought that they found what they expected. Both of my parents were extremely successful Auror's and were valued members of the Order, never did anyone think that they were going to be the one of the first one's gone.
Andromeda Tonks scooped me up into her arms and started to comfort me while she cried.
Frank and Alice Longbottom, my godmother and father looked at each other with tears in their eyes, knowing that they were soon going to be next.
James and Lily Potter were one of my parents' best friends, and now for them to lose them was surreal.
The only person that was alone was Sirius Black, in a corner looking down at my parents' dead eyes.
Sirius and my dad were cousins and grew up close, they were the only one's out of both of their families to leave the Dark Arts and not to be placed in Slytherin.
It's strange to think of what some people will do to keep their blood line pure, in this case a cousin killed for the cause.
Instead of staying with his niece Sirius fled the scene, -scared that I would think that he was a coward-, into hiding, only to go to the Potter's and tell them to keep Harry safe and that he will gladly be his godfather.
Hey Everyone,
Thank you so much for reading!
I really hope you enjoyed it, please feel free on ideas I could do, and what I can improve on. Like this story if you want more(even though I probably will still write if you don't).
Also for the sake of the story can we all pretend that there is a "Phillips" family in the House of Black blood line.
Anyway...
Thanks so much again please bare with me as I write I am trying my best. Thanks!

P.S.- This is a pretty depressing chapter but the in general the book will have a 'brighter personality'.
