Prologue


Godric Hollow (1981)

"Lily you had better hurry up before we are late for the order meeting." James yelled as he paced around the living room. Looking at the seated Peter Pettigrew he asked him while worry was evident in his face "Are you sure you are going to be alright?" "You don't have to worry i am going to be fine since this house is under the Fidelius charm you-know-who can't get here." the rat faced man answered his best friend while he had an odd look in his face.

Before going down stairs to join her husband James, Lily stepped in to the room where her two baby boys were. Looking at the oldest boy who was born at exactly midnight, she could see that he was currently sitting in his crib looking at her with his green eyes and had messy black hair, he was known as Harry James Potter. Moving her gaze towards the youngest son, born a minute after his elder brother was born, who was deep asleep and had red hair and brown eyes and a pudgy nose was known as Mark Evans Potter. Kissing both of them on their foreheads she left the room and went down stairs to join her husband.

Once the Potters were gone Peter touched his dark mark on his left hand to signify to his Lord that the Potters were gone and since he had already given him the location of where the Potters were he knew that The Dark lord would be here shortly.

With a loud crack the Darkest Lord in over a century, The one and only Lord Voldermort apparated right in to the living room breaking all the protections kept there. Rushing to his Master, Peter Bowed and kissed the hem of Lord Voldermort. Looking at the cowardly man with his crimson eyes he asked him coldly "Where are they?"

Whimpering slightly Peter managed to say "Upstairs my lord." Moving swiftly with Pettigrew at his heels he left the living room and made his way up stairs and into the second room. Opening the door Voldermort sneered at the sight of the two children, one who was supposed to create his downfall.

Moving towards the cribs in the dark room he could see a figure of a boy sitting in his crib. Not bothering to even catch a glimpse of the child properly he took his wand out and pointed it at the child who was sitting in his crib Sneering at him he shouted "AVADA KEDAVRA!" before he even had a chance to react Voldermort was hit with his own killing curse after it rebounded from the child.

Peter who had just entered his room in time to see the Dark Lord cast the killing curse and get hit with his own curse after it had rebounded. Seeing that his master had been torn from his body and all was left was a pile of ashes and his wand, he grabbed Voldermort's wand and apparated away from the ruined home caused by the rebounding killing curse.

Later

The Potters returned with Dumbledore to the remains of their cottage after the order meeting was interrupted when James felt the wards had been broken. Peter, a close family friend, had been left to care for the boys, as he was not a fan of parties. There was no sign of Peter (the traitor) as they took the two small boys from the smoldering wreck that seemed to be filled with heavy signs of dark magic being used and probably the reason for wreaking the room.

Dumbledore inspected the two boys, looking at the magic aura surrounding them. He noticed that the magic came off in strong waves from the bundle named Mark while Harry's aura was almost not visible. He also noticed that Mark had two cuts on his right cheek that formed the letter 'V' which also seemed to be giving out waves of light magic and also small waves of dark magic. When he looked at Harry he noticed that he had a lightening scar on his forehead with this knowledge, he deduced, without a hint of a doubt, and that Mark was the boy-who-lived.

The jagged 'V' scar on his right cheek which seemed to be giving out pure dark magic and light magic while the lightning scar on Harry seemed to be giving out dark magic but not as strong as the 'V' shaped scar on Mark. Shuddering slightly he put Harry down quickly and focused on Mark's 'V' shaped scar which reminded him of the prophecy line this added to his theories credibility. 'He will mark him as his equal'.

The line from the prophecy surely that was a clear sign, and wasn't the 'V' a symbol for Voldermort? The lighting bolt scar on Harry's forehead was probably a backlash from the powerful magic released by his twin after he had wounded Voldermort but he would have to be kept away from his brother to prevent him from growing jealous of him. Dumbledore talked to the Potters for a moment and the three figures disappeared with their bundles.

Later that night, as soon as the aurors had been informed of what happened and a man hunt for Peter Pettigrew the secret keeper for the Potters and a servant for Lord Voldermort had been organized. Dumbledore then explained the situation to the Potters and what might have possibly happened while seated in the sitting room of the Potter Mansion. James and Lily Potter were happy and proud when told that one of their sons had defeated Voldermort and now they would be targets of attacks from the remaining deatheaters and that it would be of high importance that they remain in hiding until the remaining deatheaters were caught.

They also discussed the future plans for the-boy-who-lived, Mark and that should he first perform any bout of accidental magic Dumbledore was to be informed so as to start to train him as early as possible after requesting their permission Dumbledore then took out his wand and cast a tracking and a health monitoring charm on Mark Evans.

While on the same topic he also mentioned to the Potters about the fact that he had noticed dark magic pouring from Harry's scar which might have occurred during the magic backlash when the killing curse rebounded. On hearing that they might have a son that might possibly turn dark or influenced by the dark arts James face turned in to disgust and Lily's face turned in to horror.

Sirius and Remus arrived at their friend's house just as Dumbledore was on his way out. After the two marauders had been told of what had happened Remus growled in anger after hearing Pettigrew betray them to you-know-who. After a few drinks and jokes the tension in the Potter mansion that was palpable at first had reduced and they all relaxed a little bit and even Sirius and James started playing with Mark while abandoning Harry in the the basement where they ordered one of the elf's to take care of him.

Right after leaving the Potter Mansion, Dumbledore apparated to the ministry of magic and went to talk with the minister while feeling a lot more happier and younger than he had in the recent years. It was later that night when the wizarding world was informed that Voldermort had been defeated by Mark Evans Potter 'The-Boy-Who-Lived' after the killing curse had rebounded from Mark and hit Voldermort when he had gone to kill the Potters, the whole wizarding world raised their toasts to Mark The-Boy-Who-Lived.

It is very interesting how Dumbledore gauged who the boy-who-lived. If he had look more closely at the auras, he would have noticed two distinct things. The first being that Harry's showed signs of magical exhaustion, which usually appeared after a powerful spell was performed. His aura was not weak, just drained. The second thing he would have noticed is that the magic Mark was radiating was not his own, but rather the result of being at a place where a powerful spell was performed. If he had inspected the bodies of the two boys more carefully, he would have noticed two more rather significant things.

This being that Harry's scar was the result of a magical spell while Mark's was not. It is a pity Dumbledore missed these facts, as it would prove very harmful to his plans in the future and also to the wizarding world.
