Lily and James Potter had spent a quiet day in there new home with there baby son Harry.
Lily was magically mending a whole in one of James shirts while he was reading the weekly prophet.
"James," Lily said,"What is the news on he-who-must-not-be-named?"
"Still at large, dear," James said,"Yesterday there were five muggle killings, and he is still after us. Dumbledore sent me an owl this morning warning us that he was drawing nearer."
"Why?" Lily said," setting down the shirt and going over to sit on the arm of his chair."Why is he after US? I just don't understand it."
"I don't understand it either, from what dumbledore has told me it's because of our love." James said taking her hand.
"There are others in love though James, why us?" Lily asked.
"It's because of who we are and our love for each other." James explained. "Together we are more powerfull than he. Our love has created the force that could stop him. Dumbledore claims that to be baby Harry."
At the sound of his name Harry cooed in his crib.
"Our son?" Lily said," defeat the dark lord? Not as long as I'm around, I will not have our baby boy fighting evil forces and trying to save the world. It's too dangerous, not untill he's fifty. Right Harry?"
James laughed and picked up his son. "I'm sure Harry will grow up to be the brightest in his class."
"And I'm going to love watching him grow up." Lily said as she
took Harry into his arms and began to sing to him the lullabye that she sung to him everynight.
"Would you know my name?
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same?
If I met you in heaven..."
Harry fell asleep in her arms. Lily and James tucked their baby in together and started to make a pot of tea.
Suddenly the door blew open violently.
"James and Lily Potter I know you are here." Came Lord Voldemorts malicious voice.
"Lily, take Harry run! I'll hold him off as long as I can." James cried.
Lily ran toward the baby cradle but Voldemort stood in her way.
"No no Lily," he said,"I don't think so. I have come to take you, your husband, and little Harry out of the game for good."
"Leave her alone!" James cried rushing forward with his wand. He shot a powerful spell at the dark lord. Voldemort let it hit him and laughed it off.
"Fool." he spat," I am Lord Voldemort, I am invinsible."
With that he performed a dark spell and shot a green light out of his wand. James gasped and fell to the ground.
"JAMES!" Lily cried running to his side.
"Lily, take Harry. Run." He said through his pain
"No James no, not without you." she wept
"Lily." He said taking her hand,"You must save Harry. I...I love you" he said as he closed his eyes forever.
Lily stood and tried to reach the baby carriage. Voldemort was standing over it.
"So," the dark lord said,"this is little Harry Potter. Doesn't look so powerfull now does he. I could kill him so easily" he mused.
"NO." Lily said," Please don't, kill me. Let Harry live, he's only a baby."
"Oh now Lily I plan to kill both of you." The dark lord said."But first, first the child."
He raised his wand over the crib slowly letting a green light start to sparkle on the tip, obviously enjoying himself in a sick way.
"Little Harry Potter," He said letting a thin stream of light hit the baby's head giving him a light cut on his forhead, "I am afraid that I will remain the most powerful wizard in the world."
Harry becan to cry due to the slight cut on his forhead.
"NO!" Lily screamed as she lept at Voldemort. She tackled him to the ground making the cut on her son's head go a screw and take the shape of a lightning bolt.
She pounded Lord Voldemort with her firsts, he aimed his wand at her and shot the green light at her. She was hit and managed to knock the wand from his hand. She reached for the wand, knowing she only had a few more minuets to live. She picked it up, the sparkling green glow still on the tip and aimed it at the dark lord. "For you Harry," she said quitley,"For your life." With that she shot the light at lord Voldemort.
~~15 years later~~
Harry Potter was now seventeen years old. He ran through the barrier to platform 9 3/4 at Kings Cross station to board the Hogwarts express for the last time. He immediatley saw the Weasley's with their red hair in a group. Ron and Ginny were the only two remaining at Hogwarts. Fred and George had come along as well, George with his steady girlfriend Katie Bell.
"Hey Harry!" Ron said as he saw Harry aproach.
"Hey!" Harry called out. He greeted all the Weasleys giving Ginny and Katie quick hugs.
"So, Harry," Mrs. Weasley said as she hugged him," I hear you are head boy. Congratulations."
"Thank you." He said politley, "Has anyone heard who the head girl is?"
Everyone shook their heads "Hermione." Ron said,"It isn't official but if it isn't Hermione then I'll jump out of a muggle helichoper."
"Helicopter, Ron." Harry corrected looking around for Hermione.
Hermione may have lightened up over the last few years but she was NEVER late. Instead of Hermione Harry saw Lavender Brown rushing over toward them.
"RON!" she cried as she flew into his arms.
They hugged and then wandered off a little ways to chat privatley. Harry smiled, 'those two are perfect for each other' he thought.
"Good," Fred said,"Now that they are back together they won't spend all summer writing each other mushy love letters. It was dreadfull Harry, Dear honeybunny, love angel face. Enough to make a man sick."
"Fred you know that they didn't write any such letters." Ginny said.
"And besides what's wrong with love letters." Katie asked putting her arm around George.
"Harry!" Harry spun around at the sound of Hermione's voice. She gave him a big hug and smiled.
"Oh it's so great to see you all" she said as she hugged Ginny and the others. "I've missed you all so much! I can't beleive it's our last year"
"Hey Herm, are you head girl?" Fred asked.
She nodded slowly afraid that he was setting her up for something.
"Great, Harry's head boy." Fred said.
Hermione turned back to Harry, "Oh Harry that's fantastic!" She said giving him another hug and a peck on the cheek.
Just then the whistle blew for the Hogwarts express.
"Oh we better go" Ginny said.
They said their goodbyes and borded the train claiming a compartment near the back. Ron and Lavender joined them shortly followed by Seamus Finnagin.
They had a pleasurable trip back to the castle and a wonderfull banquet which included the sorting of Seamus' little sister Jenny.
The schedules for the year were passed out.
"Lets see," Harry said taking Hermiones schedule from her. "nine classes this year, it's a record."
They proceeded to share schedules and were happy to learn that they shared most of their classes.
That night after all of the other students had gone to bed the seventh year class stayed up later.
"We should play a trick on the first years." Ron said.
"I dunno," Hermione said,"that's a little mean, they are only first years."
"Ok fine the second years." Ron said.
"NO." Harry said," The Slytherins."
"Yeah" everyone agreed," but what kind of trick?"
"We could put a mild curse on them so that they end up with green teeth." Lavender suggested
"Too nice." Parvatti said.
"We could always set them up with fake schedules and watch them make a fool of themselves in the wrong classes." Dean said
"Too hard," Seamus said,"They allready have their schedules in order to do that we would have to make new schedules and sneak into their common room, it's too risky."
"I've got it" Hermione said. "What do Slytherins hate the most?"
"muggle borns?" Ron suggested.
"No, being made a fool of." Hermione said. "And somehow from the way that Harry said "Slytherins" I think he was directing the whole idea toward Draco Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle. So the best way to play a trick on Malfoy is to trick him into making a fool out of himself. We need to make up a sort of flier, and invitation maybe and get it to him, we make it look dark and sinister. Then it's really a muggle appretiation club or something. We make him stand up and vow friendship and loyalty to muggles in front of the whole school!"
"Brilliant Hermione," Harry said. "all in favor?"
Everyone raised their hand. Over the years Draco had become more and more vicious, He had in some way hurt or tricked every Gryffindor in the school.
"Great," Ron said. "We can talk more about this later. I'm really tired" He and Lavender stood up and went to leave. They gave each other a brief kiss before heading off in different directions.
Everyone else left for bed as well. As Harry climbed the steps to the boys dormitory he couldn't help thinking what a great start of the year this prank would be. He fell asleep with a smile on his face.
The next day everyone had their first day of classes. The morning had gone by smoothly. The students had enjoyed a good breakfast and had an easy transfiguration class, study period and then lunch. Now Ron, Harry, Hermione and Lavender were headed outdoors for double care of magical creatures with the Slytherins.
They reached Hagrids hut a few minutes before the lesson and had time for a good conversation before class. Then all the students arrived and class began.
"So, now," Hagrid said," This year we will be studying many new animals. To start does anyone know what a drizk is?"
Hermione raised her hand.
"Aye, Hermione," Hagrid said.
"A drizk is a sort of 'magical mosquito' only if one bite you you will become ill with a fever for a few days. They mainly live in swamps and rarely come near civilization." She said.
"Correct." Hagrid said. " I have here in these jars some drizks for ya to study."
He handed the jars around warning everyone to be careful not to drop them.
Harry, Hermione, Ron and Lavender were taking notes on size and speed when Malfoy strolled over to them.
"So, ms. know it all mudblood got another answer right." He drawled slowly.
"Get out of here Malfoy." Harry said.
"mmm...no." he said,"I don't have as much faith in Grangers brain as the rest of you. I don't beleive that thing about the fever. Perhaps Hermione will help me to test my theory?"
He reached over and grapped the jar hurridly unscrewing the lid and setting loose three drizk. He laughed maliciously and walked away. Lavender screemed getting Hagrids attention, it took him two seconds to figure out what had happened.
"Everyone in my hut now!" He ordered pullin on gloves and a mask and grabbing a net. All of the students ran for his hut.
Harry, Hermione and Ron were among the last few outdoors. Right before reaching the cabin Hermione stopped.
"Come on Hermione!" Harry called.
"Harry...I was...bit..." she said and fainted.
Harry glanced around. now they were the only two left outdoors. He ran over and scooped her up carrying her inside the hut.
Ron slammed the door behind them. "What happened?" he asked seeing Hermione unconscious.
"She was stung." Harry said laying her down on the couch.
"YOU!" He said cornering Malfoy. "This is all. your. fault. you snake, you slime..."
Malfoy shrugged infuriating Harry who lunged at him but was held off by Crabbe and Goyle. He broke free and went after Malfoy again as Hagrid opened the door causing Harry to stop
"All clear" he called, "No one stung?"
"Hermione." Ron said.
"What!?" I'm taking her to the castle imediatley." Hagrid said scooping her up and running to the castle.
"ha ha..." Malfoy said watching Hagrid take Hermione to the castle. He turned away from the window and ran into Harry's waiting fist.
"Come on Ron." Harry said as Malfoy fell to the ground hand over his eye.
"YOU WAIT POTTER!" Malfoy shouted,"I'm not done with you yet."
Ron took Lavenders hand and the three of them headed to the castle. There they had to wait outside the infirmary for an hour before they could see Hermione, who to there dissapointment had regained consciousness and then fallen asleep again.
"Don't you worry about a thing." Madame Pomfrey said,"this girl has survived worse."
Harry smiled remembering all of the close encounters they had had with Voldemort.
That night the Gryffindor seventh years had another meeting.
"Malfoy is going down." Harry said.
Everyone agreed that Malfoy had to pay for what he had done to Hermione. They decided to start on their revenge the next evening.
A/N: again: Ok, well this is sort of a get things started story, there will be more adventure, drama and romance later. And yes there will be a connection to the prologue write me if you want me to add more to this story please tell me. If not I can just drop it.
