SUMMARY: Majorly AU. An evil overlord has fallen, and an icon for the light has used the confusion to his advantage.

The nine of them were happy. Being out of school for a couple years was great. They all had fairly good jobs, and were almost never lonely. Due to the fact that they all shared a house.
Severus Snape and Narcissa Black had twins in September 28, 1990, Their wedding (like all the other's) was planned for fall in two years. Lily Evans and Remus Lupin also had a daughter a month later (October 18). Frank Longbottom and Bellatrix Black had a girl in April (21, 1991) the next year. James Potter and Alice Prewett had a son in late July (27), and Lily and Remus had another child (a boy) four days later.
The children were all happy, but a secret. Times were terrible, and The women stayed home with the children. Pretending to be researching. War is horrible, both sides did anything they could… Anything.

A man by the name of Albus Dumbledore, was an icon of the light. He was loosing supporter's in this war and had to do something quick. While interviewing a woman by the name of Sybll Trawlney, he slipped some imperious potion into her drink. She had a false prophesy, that was reported to He-who-must-not-be-named.
…
Halloween in 1991 was happy in the "Den", as they had all taken to calling Godric's Hallow. The children were all sitting in a room upstairs playing, and the adult's, or so they liked to call themselves, were sitting in the living room downstairs. When there close friend Peter Pettigrew rushed in and hurried them into the kitchen.
Telling them he had a surprise had gotten them in there rather easy. Then using a lot of his magic, he locked them in.
He ran up the stairs to the children's bedroom, just as the front door crashed down. The Dark Lord's here. He thought. He heard an ancient spell being spoken. Damn it! Peter remembered that was his plan, to cast a room into the darkness. Which would make the occupants appear as they were killed.
Peter was not about to let him get the children. Voldemort swooped into the room, and dueled with Peter. This did not last very long seeing, as most of his magic was gone.
Once Peter was out of the way he turned to the children. He could see they were all terrified, and took great pleasure from this knowledge. He cast a single killing curse at the small children ensured it would hit them all.
But he was foiled…
One of the girls pulled out a mirror they were playing with, and the spelled reflected mostly back at the Dark Lord. He let out a screech, then was gone. Nothing left but a scorch mark.
But the children also paid…
Each had a scar.
Voldemort had failed, in more than one way.

Dumbledore arrived at the scene and "cleared" up the confusion. Lily and James were put in a crypt. Remus threatened to keep quiet. Alice and Frank were insane, and put into St. Mungo's. Bellatrix was thrown in Azkaban for torturing Alice and Frank. Narcissa black mailed into marrying Lucius and pretending Draco was his son.
Mor was sent to an orphanage. Harry was sent to Lily's sister. Neville was sent to Frank's grandmother's. Hermione was sent to some muggles. Finally Luna was placed in the care of a young magical couple.
Dumbledore spread his story, and the wizarding world fell for it.
