'Come Wormtail, now's your chance to prove your loyalty' hissed the pale snake-like figure standing before Wormtail.
'Yes my Lord' bowed Wormtail, grabbing a hold of the Dark Lord's arm. With a soft pop the two men disappeared from the Dark Manor.
The door to Number 4 Grimmauld Place burst open as a tall, handsome, frantic looking man burst through.
'It's Wormtail, he betrayed them' the man said. Grey eyes filled with panic, curly black hair a mess around his face.
Amber eyes wide and frantic stared back at the grey eyes, the scar on the pale face gleaming in the moonlight streaming in from the open door, 'No' the man whispered in shock.
'NO!' he screamed, he rushed forward and as he grabbed the handsome man's arm they disappeared.
The two men stumbled into the dark street of Godric's Hollow, they had all but two seconds to gain their footing before they heard screams piercing the air. They desperately sprinted toward the Potter's house pushing past a door already broken. Tripping up the stairs in their panic, bursting through the door to the nursery, They saw their two best friends crumpled on the floor in front of the cots that held the two crying babies.
They turned to the other two figures in the room staring into the red slits of the Dark Lord's eyes. Then turning to the man with rat-like features they used to call a mate.
'How could you?!' scream Remus, the man with the scar on his face.
'We trusted you!' Sirius roared.
'She was a filthy Mudblood and it would've been only a matter of time before you saw it too Sirius,' seethed Wormtail 'As for him, shame really he got in the way, one mustn't get in the way of the Dark Lord.'
At this Wormtail prod the face of Lily Potter with his bare foot, rat-like nails that you could better describe as claws, leaving thin lines along her face. This motion turned her face to stare at the two men, the once full of life emerald eyes bored into the men's eyes, now appearing as a dull forest green.
This set the men into action, blasting spells at the two men trying their best to shield the crying babies from any harm. After what seemed like an eternity of fighting, with too much commentary from the snake and rat-like men. A loud crack from outside was able to divert the attention of the two nefarious men just for a moment but that moment was enough. The men filled with so much perseverance were able to wordlessly cast the killing curse at the two dark wizards before them. The two men fell to the floor just as a tall, thin, man with slivering hair and beard long enough to be tucked into a belt came through the door.
Remus and Sirius looked at one another and as if the thought struck them at the same time they both shouted softly in unison,
'The Twins!'
And ran over to the cots to comfort and examine the babies.
'Well it seems you almost got here in time.' the old man remorsed softly, a twinkle in his blue eyes fading away as he looked to the fallen bodies of James and Lily Potter.
'The twins, are they alright?' Sirius panicked 'It looks as if their foreheads have been cut open Dumbledore'
The old man, Dumbledore, walked over to Remus and Sirius peering at the babies in their arms.
'Alas they will be fine, dark magic will always leave a permanent scar.' deciphered Dumbledore
'Dark Magic, you mean?' Remus began, but Dumbledore already knew the question and began to answer.
'Yes, after Pettigrew and Voldemort killed James and Lily they attempted the same on Harry and Haley, but their sacrifice protected them and weakened the dark wizards causing their powers to weaken.' Dumbledore paused for a moment to look into the mens vulnerable eyes, 'Which helped aid you in your victory.'
Remus and Sirius took a moment to comprehend this new information.
'We must go.' Dumbledore proclaimed, turning from the room.
'Yes we will grab some things and bring the twins back to Grimmauld Place.' Remus began.
'No, they will not be returning home with you, I will be sending them to the Dursely's.' Dumbledore spoke softly but firmly.
'No they will return home with..' Began Sirius, but Dumbledore cut him off.
'No they will grow up outside the wizarding world away from fame, and danger. They are the only beings ever to survive a killing curse. They can never have a normal childhood…'
'NO' boomed Sirius, 'They will never go to live with Lily's Cruel family. As their Godparents we are their legal guardians and they will be returning home with us. We will give them a happy and safe childhood away from the fame and glory, but a part of the world their mum and dad knew and loved.'
Before Dumbledore could try and argue Sirius turned and grabbed the arm of Remus, using his free arm that wasn't holding Harry, and apparated the four of them back to Grimmauld Place with what little things Remus had grabbed. Though it hardly mattered because they already had plenty of belongings for Harry and Haley in their home.
It was that night October 31st 1981, in Godric's Hollow that Harry and Haley Potter became the most famous Witch and Wizard in the world, but it was also that night that they became Orphans to the war they had helped end.
