*~The Boy Who Lived~*
~Chapter 2: Secret Keepers~
There was a sudden silence around the room.
"Well whose baby is it going to be?" stammered Lily.
"That we don't know." said Dumbledore, "All we know is that it is either your or the Longbottoms."
"There has to be something in the Prophecy that tells us which!" said Frank
"In the Prophecy there were three main distinguishing factors." explained Dumbledore, "One was that he would be born to parents who have defied Voldemort three times, which, if I am not mistaken, you have all done." There was a general murmur of agreement around the room. Dumbledore continued, "It then said that he would be born at the end of July. Am I correct in saying that you are both due around then?" Both Lily and Alice nodded slowly. "The last main distinguishing factor is that Voldemort will mark him as his equal. One he has done that then we will know to whom the Prophecy refers to." The room was silent for a few minutes.
"Well. when you-know-who mark him?" asked James.
"This we do not know." said Dumbledore sadly, "But until then you all must find secret keepers and go into hiding. I want to know now who you want your keeper to be."
"Sirius," said James immediately, " Sirius is going to be our secret keeper."
"Of coarse." said Dumbledore, "And what about you and Alice?" Dumbledore asked, talking to Frank.
"Well.I suppose the Tackers." said Frank.
"Ok," said Dumbledore, " I will contact your secret keepers at once. I will be at your houses between 6 and 7 tonight to perform the charm."
*~*~*~*~*~*
That night Dumbledore got to the Potters house at 6, accompanied by Sirius. He performed a complicated looking charm on the house, and then performed another complicated looking charm on Sirius. Dumbledore then left to pick up the Tackers.
He picked up Mr. Tacker and then headed for the Longbottoms. When he got there he performed the same two spells then left. They were all safe.
A/N: Ok. Another short, uneventful chapter. BE PATIENT! I have something pretty big planned for the next chapter (such as the arrival of two important characters). Also, thanks a bunch to those who reviewed. Keep reviewing because the more you review, the faster I write.
