2nd Chapter : Harriet Samantha Lillian Josephine Potter
"What are you talking about?" "Harry James Franklin Potter as we wanted to call HIM is now Harriet Samantha Lillian Josephine Potter." Lily said still smiling down at her new daughter. It took the other men a while but soon they understood what Lily had said but none cared if it was a girl or a boy they just wanted to hold her.
The door opened once more to let an other person enter. It was Minerva McGonagal, like Dumbeldor she had been like a parent to both Lily and James and both of them would trust her with their lives.
"Here Nana (Lily always called McGonagal Nana) take your goddaughter as well." Lily said, she and James had decided to make her godmother of the small girl though they had enough godfathers but not enough godmothers, so it was easy who would be godmother.
McGonagal looked at them "Godmother?" she asked nearly about to collapse and Lily and James both nodded their heads smiling "With Sirius as godfather the child will need someone who brings her away from all the pranks and saves her from the trouble he will bring her into." Lily joked but Sirius was too fascinated into the small girl to notice that.
Lily had to stay in Hospital for an other week because her child had been born much too early and she wanted to stay with her but that gave James some times to change the colors of the child room.
Time passed by fast and soon it was time for Harry's first birthday. Sirius had barely found time in the last weeks to visit them but this day he had managed to appear, Remus looked very tired though the night before had been full moon, McGonagal and Dumbeldor had been there as well because they had holidays and Peter couldn't come because he had to much to do or at least that was what he had said.
Sirius or more Snuffles had played with Harriet outside in the garden. The small girl had long black hair but since she had gotten a base cap from Remus she was wearing it all the time because so she could stick her long curled hair through the hole on the backside of the cap and could see perfectly.
Near the house was a small rive and Harry liked to be there to watch the fishes and this day she did that again because Sirius had been chasing her and she could hid there while watching the small animals.
When Sirius suddenly called her she had been so deep in thoughts, that she had jumped a bit by the loud sound, unfortunately the ground was very muddy and Harry fell into the river. Sirius ran as fast as he could but that wasn't enough, the girl was drifted away by the river when suddenly out of nowhere a unicorn appeared it pulled Harry out of the water and carried her back to her worried parents.
James, Lily and everyone else was totally shocked by what they had seen and by what they saw now. It was very rare that a unicorn touched a human but this one allowed Harry to ride on its back!
"Can we do that again?" Harry asked in a sweet voice but Lily just gave her a look that said "Certainly not." The unicorn bent down so Harry could come from its back and with a last touch on the child's cheek with its horn the unicorn disappeared into the forest.
Lily ran over to her daughter and hugged her tightly "You are even worst than you daddy one day you two will give me the fit of my life." "But Mommy me can already swim." "WHAT?" Sirius now asked but all the grown ups were looking at her "But how, none of us ever showed you." Harry just grinned mischievously in a way that somehow reminded very strong to James.
The adults were all now laughing at the small girl when they suddenly heard someone apparating there. "Albus..Voldemort knows .... he ... is seeking the Potters." And with that a man in black robes collapsed to the ground and everyone hurried over to him "Snape? What happened to him?" Sirius asked in a voice that could have frozen a lake.
Harry just walked over to the man on the ground "Is he dead?" the small girl asked "No just badly hurt dear." McGonagal said but before she could pick up the small toddler Harriet had already touched the man's cheek and suddenly her tiny finger started to glow. Everyone around them watched the scene highly interested but suddenly they saw that the scratches and scars disappeared from the man's face.
Dumbeldor knelt down beside him "He is just exhausted. Congratulation Harry that was your first time showing magic." The old man chuckled "James could you help?" the raven-haired walked over to his former enemy and lifted him on a stretcher together with Sirius and Remus while Dumbeldor turned to Lily "Do you think he can take a nap here until he recovers fully?" Lily just nodded her head and followed the others inside.
McGonagal took the small girl and they walked inside as well.
Everyone sat there in silence just waiting for Snape to wake up, they had heard enough to be worried and somehow Dumbeldor started to plan what he would do if Severus was right.
Finally after two hours of waiting the spy awoke. Lily helped him to some pepper-up potion and so he could recover a bit fast and then he started. "The bastard has found out that you two had been working against him undercover for so long and he is to say the last extreme angry." "Is that why you had so many injures when you arrived?" Snape just nodded his head "He knows that you two are hiding and he is seeking the two of you everywhere he has asked everyone if he knows where you are and.." Here he stopped and looked to the ground "...there is something more but I guess its better if I tell it just the two of you and the headmaster." Sirius and Remus wanted to protest but Minerva stopped them "Why don't we go outside and play a bit more with Harry but this time without to fall into the river OK?"
When they had left Snape took a deep breath, he was laying on the couch but he felt as if he could collapse so he made it short. "Someone who is close to you is passing information about where you two live." He said shortly and none seemed to understand what he had right now said "OK and now please a bit more clear." James said and Snape nodded his head.
"Voldemort knows things about the two of you and I am sorry about to say that but he knows things you have just told a few people which are Dumbeldor, McGonagal, Black, Lupin, Pettigrew, some people of the order and me so though you don't tell me that much I can take me out, Dumbeldor and McGonagal would never pass information so there are just the order people, Black, Lupin or Pettigrew."
All of them sat there in silence none could really think about what had been said. Lily and James just didn't want to believe that one of the lest three could be a betrayer but after that day and in the next weeks they worked out a plan to find our who was the betrayer.
Though they really had no clue who could be the one.
They had told everyone of the order that they would take Sirius as there Secret-keeper but just before the charm was put they changed on Peter.
The days passed by and many alarming spells had been placed around the Potters house the change was an Idea of Lily and James and they had told none, not even Dumbeldor they had simply changed it.
When the Charm had been set Sirius went in an own flat where no wizard was around so they could be sure if someone would try to come after Sirius they knew that it was someone of the Order who was the betrayer and if not they would be save for a little while longer.
Halloween around ten there was a knock on the Potters front door and they looked at each other. Lily walked over to the fireplace but before she could do anything the door burst into pieces and dozens of Death Eaters stormed in and with them was Voldemort.
Lily and James were stunned before they could do anything and Voldemort was pointing his wand at James "Say goodbye to the world POTTER and after you your daughter will be the next. But I guess I just want to have a bit more fun with you before Crucio!" and with that James fell to the ground unable to move in the ways he wanted, pain was all over his body and before he could blink one more time his wife laid next to him in the same pain.
After some more torture Voldemort bent down so he could see James face "Will you finally join me or do you want to die?" James grinned like a maniac "I will die before I join you!" and with that he spit into the snake like face of his enemy but the answer he got was an other torturing curse. "Fine if you want it that way! Avada Ked.." "Stupfy." A flash of light hit Voldemort into the back and he turned around to see Dumbeldor, Sirius Remus and many other Order members were standing there but after a small fight they left and Sirius ran over to James while Remus woke Lily.
"James..James can you hear me?" James had collapsed from the last torturing session. Sirius had knelt down where he had laid his friends head into his lap and was softly slapping him in hope to wake him somehow.
Suddenly they heard a high scream coming from upstairs and in the next moment a man with black mask and robe came slowly down the stairs but he stopped ten stairs over the others. He was holding a small struggling girl with had several scratches and was screaming like mad "BE QUIET!" with that the man slapped the child one more time and she was suddenly quiet.
The others looked up "Harriet." Lily grasped but Harry didn't look at her but on her father that was laying on the ground. "Daddy, Mommy!!!" Now the small girl started to struggle again but though the man wouldn't let go of her she bite him into the hand her little but sharp teeth were sinking into the man's skin and he was bleeding soon and let go of the girl but that she would fall down the last ten stairs. The man standing on the top just disapparated before anyone else could do something and Lily ran over to her daughter that was now sitting on the ground hard fighting her tears.
She picked the small girl up and noticed that she flinched in pain. "What happened with Daddy?" she asked and Lily walked with her over to her husband she could see that the man had many bad injures.
Harry walked over to him and a tear just a single one fell from her face and on James hand but much like the Phoenix tears this one started to glow and heal all the major injures the man had now just a fewer smaller ones but she had taken all life treating ones.
Slowly James started to open his eyes but his hand flew up to his head which had hit the ground very hard. He looked around in confusion but when he tried to sit up he suddenly felt dizzy and so Remus and Sirius helped him over to the couch to lay down there.
Madam Pomfrey came soon and checked the Potters over. Lily had some scratches and a few cracked rips from the torture while Harry just had gashes and bruises but many of them from falling down the stairs and she had lost one teeth while biting the man but that wasn't so bad because Madam Pomfrey just let a new one grow.
James on the other hand had four broken rips and a broken right fist as well as a bad concussion of the brain, which was why he had to lay down for the next few days but have to stay in bed was one of the things he hated most.
When the others had finally left Remus, Sirius, Minerva, Albus, Severus, Lily and Harry all sat in the living room where James was laying on the couch as well. "But how could it have been Peter I mean.." "Yeah he seemed to small and to thickheaded for to do such a thing but if you think about it in an other way he had always been seeking for someone strong than him to help him to protect him and though James has his own family, Sirius and Remus are Aurors none was any longer there to protect him." The others nodded their heads because what Snape had said sounded logical.
"Shall we move out?" Lily asked looking at her former headmaster but something on her lap now spoke "No, not want to leave the unicorns." Lily looked down at her daughter "You love this forest do you?" Harry nodded her head and took her mother by the hand "I'll show you something and then you will understand!" Lily looked at the others and then at her daughter "What do you want to show me?" "The baby unicorns." The small child said and now everyone looked at her because it was highly unusual to see small unicorns but after a while Lily followed her together with the others "We have to be quiet." Harry said and after climbing up a hill they saw a hollow that was filled with Unicorns younger and older ones and they understood why Harry didn't want to leave so they decided to put someone else as Secret keeper and stayed there.
James recovered from his injuries soon but after that he went back to his job as an auror while Lily went on missions from time to time but just when she was sure that someone was looking over Harry.
"What are you talking about?" "Harry James Franklin Potter as we wanted to call HIM is now Harriet Samantha Lillian Josephine Potter." Lily said still smiling down at her new daughter. It took the other men a while but soon they understood what Lily had said but none cared if it was a girl or a boy they just wanted to hold her.
