The Boy Who Lived
Chapter 3: Children and Changes
Dumbledore had just sat down in his office for a nice lunch when there was a knock on his door.
"Come in," he said.
He looked up and saw Sirius Black entering his office. He had a look of thought on his face.
"Well, hello Sirius. What brings you here on this fine day?" Dumbledore questioned.
"I am worried Albus. I am worried about the Potters. I had a dream last night. In my dream Voldemort came to their house. But he was able to get in. He killed them both. When I woke up this morning I realized something," answered Sirius.
"Really? And what was this brilliant realization?" asked Dumbledore.
"I realized that I shouldn't be the Potters secret keeper. And neither should you. We are the first two people Voldemort will come to when he finds out that he cannot get to the Potters. I think that in order to keep them safe, we need to trick Voldemort," replied Sirius.
"And how do you plan on doing that?" asked Dumbledore.
"Well, first we give the secret keeping job to someone who is a good friend of the Potters, but no one would expect as their secret keeper. I was thinking Peter. Then we spread the word that I am their secret keeper. That way, no one but you, me, Peter, and the Potters know who is really the secret keeper," Sirius said quickly, "But it was just and idea. It is stupid really. Sorry for bothering you. I'll go now."
"No, wait," said Dumbledore, "I think it is a brilliant idea. We will go over to the Potters right now and ask them what they think about it." Dumbledore got up and walked over to Sirius. "We can walk out to Hogsmead and apparate from there." And with that they set off through the castle and down the sloping lawns to the village of Hogsmead.
A month later Lily lay in her bed thinking about all the changes that had happened over the past month. Aside from her stomach growing a lot more they had changed their secret keeper to Peter, the Longbottoms had a healthy baby boy, whom they named Neville, and James had been chosen as Neville's godfather.
She was laying there, thinking about all that when suddenly....
"James," she whispered, waking him up, "It's time."
Three hours later Lily lay in the hospital bed at St. Mungo's holding a beautiful baby boy. She had a great delivery and was so happy that she could burst. He looked exactly like James. Lily couldn't wait for him to open his eyes. As soon as he opened them, then they would name him.
And suddenly, his eyes opened up and Lily was looking into her own. He may look like James, but he had her eyes.
"Lets name him Harry," she said suddenly. Lily didn't know why, but she knew that this was the name for her son.
"Sure," said James, "Harry James Potter." James grinned.
"I love it," said Lily, gazing lovingly at Harry, "and I love you," she said to Harry as his big, green eyes stared up at her.
A/N: hope you liked it. I am sorry I didn't make a big deal about the birth but I really would like to get to the next part. Keep checkin for the next chapter.
