This is my first time posting anything, so sorry if I do something wrong.
I don't own anything. I wish I did.
"Lily, take the children and go. I'll hold him off." Those were the last words that Lily Potter heard from her husband as Voldemort broke through their wards.
James Potter stood, his wand not in his hand. The family had been sitting on the couch together. James Potter, with his messy black hair and hazel eyes, creating little bubbles for his children. His wife, Lily Potter nee Evans, with her wavy red hair and bright green eyes, watching them all with a fond expression.
Their first child, Rose Dorea Potter, had red hair like her mother though with her father's curls and grey eyes like her grandmother, whom she was named after. Their second child was Harry James Potter. He had messy black hair like their father and the green eyes of their mother.
Rose was almost exactly a year older than Harry, and was two years and six months old. Harry was only fifteen months old.
But the family had been having fun, with Harry poking at the bubbles that James made, and Rose excitedly saying words she knew.
James handed the wand to Rose, who was excitedly waving her arms around. She took the wand and peered at it in amazement. She gripped it and waved it around, imitating her dad. Sparks flew from the tip. James laughed.
James had just gotten up to get a glass of water when the wards made an awful noise as it started being pulled apart.
James had stood up, facing Voldemort for the chance of buying his family a few more seconds, not realizing his wand was still in his daughter's grasp.
Lily grabbed her two children and raced upstairs towards Harry's nursery. She set Harry in the crib and Rose on the floor, searching around for the teddy bear, which was an emergency portkey.
There was a thud downstairs and Lily stopped her searching, it was no use. She raced over to the crib and started muttering a spell.
The door was wretched open and a man stood in the doorway, black cloak covering his face.
"Move aside, girl." He said, wand pointed at the child behind Lily.
"No, not Harry. Please. Kill me instead of Harry." She begged.
"Avada Kedavra." He shouted, the green beam catching Lily full force.
The man stepped over her body and pointed the wand directly at Harry, who was still in the crib. Voldemort didn't notice the little girl, who was hiding next to the crib watching the entire thing, her dad's wand still in hand.
The skeletal wand moved to point right at the baby, who looked up at him, scared.
"Avada Kedavra."
When Dumbledore brought the two kids to Private Dr. he noticed the older kid watching them. He was unsure if the child would remember this, but cast a spell, making her unable to tell Harry about magic until his 11th birthday.
Little did he know, Rose would remember and kept her father's wand with her, hiding it in her sleeve from the bad man.
Dumbledore then sent them to sleep and set them on a doorstep in the beginning of November, with only a letter, setting his plans in place.
