Forgotten Prophecy: Chapter 1
Taken From Our Midst

"There you go," Eighteen-year-old Lily Potter gently laid down a tiny bundle into a cradle. They had brought their baby home from the hospital mere days ago. James Potter, also eighteen, stood beside her in the pale blue nursery that was part of the newly renovated third floor in the Potter mansion. Lily leaned over and lightly kissed the tiny forehead hidden in the bundle. James slid his hand around her waist and they exited the room, into their master bedroom next door.

"It's so hard to believe that she's really ours," Lily said softly as she pulled her nightgown over her head. She shivered as the cool October air came through the open window. She crossed the room and shut the window tightly.

"I know, it doesn't quite feel real. But she's ours." James pulled the cream duvet back, and they both slid into bed. They went to bed when Christine went to bed, otherwise they did not get any sleep at all.

"She is ours…" Lily said softly as she allowed sleep to overcome her.


The pair awoke in the middle of the night to a crash. "Christine!" Lily said hoarsely. They leapt out of bed and dashed into the nursery. A devastating scene met their eyes.

The tiny cradle was overturned and empty. The window was broken, and glass was everywhere. The blue curtains were whipping through the cracked glass. James ran to the window, caring not about the jagged shards cutting into his bare feet. There was no one in sight, not a single movement in the cool night air.

Lily let out a wail. It was full of loss, love and sorrow. Her horrible sobs woke the elder Potters sleeping peacefully in the room below.

"Call the police!" James yelled as he held Lily tightly, "Someone's taken Christine!" His voice cracked, and Lily sobbed even harder.

Mr. Potter dashed from the room. Mya stood there in her flannel nightdress, looking stunned. When she finally spoke, it was not good.

"I don't think that the police can help. This was no normal kidnapping," she said softly. This stunned Lily into silence.

"You mean, someone in the magical community took Christine?" Asked James, a little shocked.

"I think so," said Mya, with a heavy heart. She was too stunned to cry.

Unable to sleep, Lily and James went downstairs to sit with Mya and Atticus – Mr. Potter – and waited for the Magical Law Enforcement squad to get here. The ministry was sending people in to do a thorough check of the Potter mansion.

"What exactly did you hear?" a tired looking blond woman asked Lily and James. White faced, Lily told them about the crash that woke them up.

"And you haven't touched anything in this room," she gestured to the demolished nursery. Tight faced, James nodded.

"Thank you, that will be all for now," she said, and walked off to have a conversation with a wizard that was casting revealing spells on and around the window.

"This can't be happening," Lily said to James. "I want to wake up from this nightmare!" He held her close, and they walked back into their bedroom. James held her, and Lily soon fell asleep, hoping and praying that she would wake up from this nightmare.


Lily awoke to the sounds of Fur Elise playing throughout the house. She shook her head, and then realized it was the door bell. Mya was always changing the tune it played. James was snoring softly beside her with his arm around her waist.

"Come in," Mya's voice drifted up the stairs, soft and void of its usual cheerfulness. "I'm sure that they'll want to see you."

After a moment, a knock sounded on the door and woke James up.

"Whazzat?" he asked, confused.

Lily strode across the room and opened the door, to see Remus and Leala with a big bouquet of white lilies.

In typical Leala style, she flung herself at Lily. "I can't believe it! I saw it in the paper this morning and… well, we had to come by."

Lily hugged her back, and the two friends stood like that for a long while.

"Give me a moment, and I'll meet you in the sitting room. I really need a shower… Sorry," she added.

"No problem," Leala said, backing up. "We'll do whatever you need us to do."

James threw a shirt over his head, and accompanied his friends into the sitting room, talking softly.

Lily proceeded to the shower, where she wished she could drown herself in the pulsating current of water. Slowly and mechanically, she washed her hair and her face, wishing all the while that this wasn't really happening, and when she stepped out of the shower, the nursery would be whole, Leala wouldn't be there, and Christine would be sleeping silently in her cradle.

It wasn't so, as she found out when she went into the sitting room, and saw Leala and Remus there with James. She sighed, and went to sit with them.

They only stayed about half an hour. Finally, at the insistence of James telling them that they'd let them know if they were needed, the pair left James and Lily to their peace.

They went into the nursery, which had been fixed by the Magical Law squad upon their departure. It was whole, and clean, with no sign of a baby ever having been there.

Lily searched for words, something to fill the silence, and in desperation, blurted – "I wish that I could forget this! It's all too painful!" James agreed.

Soon though, they would find that this simple statement could change everything in their lives, and the consequences would be devastating.
