Summary: What if Sirius stayed Secret Keeper? What I during that time, Lily
and James had a second son? What if Voldemort found the Potters around two
years later then the actual date in the book? What if Harry really defeated
the Dark Lord as a baby *no mother's love* but people assume it was his
brother who did? What if Harry is actually ignored and shunned by everyone
*and I do mean everyone* while his brother gets everyone's attention? A lot
of what ifs, but that's what's Alternate Universe is for!
Disclaimer: DUH!! DO you obviously think I own any of this? The only thing I actually own is the plot. The rest belongs to J.K Rowling, who I currently dislike right now due to a certain death in OOTP. But since this is alternate universe, that character WILL remain alive and will play an important role in the story.
It was on Halloween ironically, when an event would change Europe. On that day, no one knew who, how, and precisely when it happened. Obviously, people assumed and made guesses. They made the right assumption, but not exactly on the right person. In order to know the tale, one must start with a little history.
James Potter was in trouble. People assumed he was in trouble because of his job, his position, which was being the top Auror. Only a particular man knew the reason why. James was in trouble because of a prophecy. It was Hogwart's Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore who had first heard the prophecy.
"THE ONE WITH THE POWER TO VANQUISH THE DARK LORD APROACHES.. BORN TO THOSE WHO HAVE THRICE DEFIED HIM, BORN AS THE SEVENTH MONTH DIES. AND THE DARK LORD WILL MARK HIM AS HIS EQUAL, BUT HE WILL HAVE POWER THE DARK LORD KNOWS NOT. AND EITHER MUST DIE AT THE HAND OF THE OTHER FOR NEITHER CAN LIVE WHILE THE OTHER SURVIVES.. THE ONE WITH THE POWER TO VANQUISH THE DARK LORD WILL BE BORN AS THE SEVENTH MONTH DIES.."
The prophecy was rarely known. It seems the Headmaster decided to keep the prophecy to himself, and dared not mention it to anyone. Alas, he wasn't the only one who heard the prophecy. A spy of the Dark Lord had also heard it too. Luckily, the spy only had heard the beginning, and did not know the rest of the prophecy, and so informed his master only half of the information, missing some important parts.
Dumbledore did however, help the likely candidates who had fit the prophecy. One of them happened to be James Potter, his wife Lily, and their son Harry. The couple did know that they were on the Dark Lord's hit list, but they never knew the exact reason why, and assumed like everyone else, that it was because of James' job. Dumbledore had assured them safety, and the Potters made a Secret Keeper, who was James' best friend, Sirius Black.
The Potters were safely hidden with Sirius as their Secret Keeper, and as a year passed, the Potters had another child. A son named Jacob. He like Harry was born on July 31, and he also fitted the prophecy. This caused confusion and doubt in Dumbledore's mind, on who had fitted the prophecy. He finally decided that when the time would come would be when he would see the outcome, and who the true bearer of the prophecy was. And now, let the tale begin.

Author's Notes: HEY!!!!!!! Dang, my writing does not come out as I want it to! It's all author talking now, but that's because it's the prologue! *Plus, it's easier to write that way* I mean, give me a break, this is my first Harry Potter fic. And if the grammar is all bad, don't come blaming me. I'm a dumb 13 year old girl who doesn't have any skills in writing. But anyways, enough of my rambling and just review!
