Chapter One
Dark shadows danced around the austere room, it was a rather unremarkable room except for the fact that in the center, stood an imposing high backed chair. In this pretentious chair sat the current Dark Lord. At his feet there was a kneeling man.
"My Lord, everything is ready" said the man, a small trickle of sweat came down the side of his head. "Good, you may go now" replied the Dark Lord in that cold indifferent voice of his. The man clumsily got to his feet and turned to leave, he let out a big puff of air, he hadn't realized that he had been holding his breath the entire time that he was in that room. Meetings with his master were always nerve racking, the sensation of those ruby red eyes watching you was anything but pleasant.
The Dark Lord rubbed his eyes, all this planning and scheming was really getting to him. He heard the door open, Bellatrix his most loyal supporter entered the room. She walked up to the foot of his chair and knelt before him. " What is it Bella?" he asked, "My Lord I have come to review the plans for tomorrow night." she said as a look of concern crossed her face. The Dark Lord mentally slapped himself for forgetting this. "Then let us begin" was all he said, smirking at the thought of what was to happen tomorrow night in Godrics Hollow.
"James dear, could you get Harry" called Lily from their small but comfortable kitchen, "Sure thing Lils" shouted James from somewhere in the house. Lilly shook her head in amusement as she pulled the sugar cookies out of the oven and carefully deposited them on a cooling rack. "Come on Harry, don't you want some of your mums' tasty cookies?" James crooned,
"No" came the reply from under the couch. "James, is Harry under the couch again?" asked Lily. Just then the couple heard someone knock on the front door. "I'll get it" said James as he hopped up from the ground. Making his way to the door James mentally checked a list of people it could possibly be 'not Albus, not Minerva, not Moony, not Padfoot, not Alice or Frank…' and so on. James came to the conclusion that it must be Peter. He opened the door, and there stood Peter jus like he had suspected. A grin brook out on James's face at the sight of his friend, "Wormtail! What a lovely surprise! Come on in Lils just baked some cookies!" James opened the door a little wider to let Peter into the house but Peter just bowed his head and stood there. "Peter…Whats going on?" inquired James, James's stomach started to churn he had a really bad feeling about this. "I'm s-s-so s-s-s-sorry James, but j-j-j-just had to do it!" blubbered Peter "Please understand, he would have killed me James!" tears gushed out of Peter's eyes as he stepped to the side, revealing around twenty Death Eaters and leading them the Dark Lord himself.
