Chapter Three

Christmas Eve 1991

Christmas Eve James and Lily Potter sat in the living room wrapping presents for tomorrow. Rolls of brightly colored paper littered the floor. All their friends were coming for dinner later. Lily refused to invite her sister, so it was only friends.

"James! You can't give a baby an invisibility cloak!" she stopped him from wrapping the gift. "I'm not giving him AN invisibility cloak, I'm giving him MY invisibility cloak!" "No your not!" "Yes I am!" "No your not!" "Yes I am!" "No your not!" "Yes I am!" "No your not!" "Yes I am!" "Yes you am!" "No I'm No-Am! Ha ha couldn't trick me!" "Give it to Dumbledore and he'll give it to Harry when he's old enough" James stuck his tongue out at his wife. "Mail it to Dumbledore" "Why can't I give it to him?" "Because you'll give it to him tomorrow." James tried arguing, but relented and mailed the cloak to Dumbledore. The boxes were all packed. Toys, clothes and jewelry were all wrapped up safe. As soon as the last present was under the little Christmas tree the doorbell rang.

"Happy Christmas everybody!" Sirius called as he handed James a bottle of eggnog. "When's dinner? I'm starved!" Elektra elbowed him in the ribs. "Behave yourself!" She laughed, following the Potters to the kitchen.

Lily and Elektra began emptying the stove, oven and reffridurator onto the table. "We have a Christmas ham, mashed potatoes, milk, wine, Green beans, rolls, salad, Pumpkin, Cherrie and Apple pie." Lily said, beaming. The bell rang again and the rest of the Order filed in.

"That ham smell great!" Mad-Eye Moody said, following his nose to the kitchen. "Excellent timing Alastor! You can help carry dishes to the dining room!" Elekra said, putting other guests to work as well.

After dinner, the men were forced to wash dished-luckily they used magic and got out of really washing them.

"That was delicious Lily, thanks for having us!" Remus Lupin said. "Yes! Delicious" Other voices chimed in. Soon James and Lily were left with Sirius and Moody. Elektra had gone home to bed and the other guests most likely had their own families to visit. "

"I've got some bad news." Moody said to James. "Someone made a prophesy about Voldemort." "What does it say?" Lily asked, if Moody was telling them about it, she knew it would affect them and soon. "The one to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies, born to parents who have thrice defied him and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal. It goes on from there, but let's worry about the first half first. As far as I know, there were only two magical children born at the end of July whos parents have ever defied Voldemort. Neville Longbottom, and Harry." He stopped. "What does the rest of the prophesy say?" Sirius asked quietly. "Well, something like he-he meaning one of the boys- will have a power the Dark Lord knows not, and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, foe neither can live while the other survives." "So you're saying that either my son or Frank's son is going to kill Voldemort or die trying?" James said slowly, staring at the Christmas tree. "Thanks Mad-Eye." James let out a yawn. "I think I'm going to be now." "If you don't go to bed before midnight, Santa Clause won't come" Sirius said, attempting to lighted the mood.

After Lily locked the door she looked at her husband. "So much for Christmas" he muttered. "Oh, it can't be that bad! Voldemort probably doesn't even know about it.". James wandered up the stairs. "Here's hopin' " .
