CHAPTER#2: REVELATIONS

The next day…

The news of attack on Potters and Jonathon being boy who lived was spread in the wizarding world like a wild fire. James and Lily were both alive because, last night James narrowly missed killing curse by mere inches and Lily indeed get struck by killing curse but an ancient magic protected her from the Avada Kedavra and she only got stunned. Jonathon had a lightning shaped bolt on his left cheekbone whereas, Harry had the same bolt on his forehead. It really didn't matter to James and Lily as for them, their both sons were equal even one of them was prophesied one and one was- normal. Early the next day from attack, Professor Dumbledore came at Potter Manor to visit Potters and to reveal the identity of the real boy who lived.

"I think so that Jonathon Potter is the real chosen one." Dumbledore said. "What makes you think that?" James asked. "The fact that last night Harry was whimpering in fear whereas Jonathon was crying silently which showed Jonathon's bravery." Lily and James nodded. Moreover, I believe that Jonathon Potter has shown more accidental magic at this small age-more than Harry?" Lily nodded and said: "But how it actually mystifies the mystery that Jonathon is the actual boy who lived? Because there are some witches and wizards who don't show very much accidental magic at the young age but they are from one of the really powerful wizards and witches." James looked at headmaster and said: "She has a fair point."

"The thing which mystifies the mystery is still Jonathon's bravery, which was clear yesterday when Harry was whimpering in fear whereas, Jonathon didn't show any sign of any fear." said Dumbledore. "It means that Jonathon Potter is indeed the chosen one." said James and Dumbledore nodded. "So, is Voldemort gone for the good now?" Dumbledore sighed gravely and said: "I am afraid not. Voldemort is gone for now but, he will be returning and Jonathon will be his main target. That's why I believe that Jonathon must be given special training in order to fulfill the prophecy and to kill Voldemort for greater good." "That's good for Jamie and as well as for Harry as he could also get some training."

Lily said with a weak smile on her face which vanished when Dumbledore replied: "I am only going to train Jonathan Potter as he is the boy who lived and training Harry Potter will be only a waste of time." "Why teaching Harry will be a waste of time, Headmaster?" snapped James. "I have a theory and my theories are usually correct Now, the theory is that even Harry isn't a squib but he still doesn't have a great magical aura, and it will be exactly a time waste to give special training to a child who lacks a great magical aura." "Right then." said Lily bitterly.

"Lily! There is also an advantage in this situation. When Jonathan will be training with headmaster, we could spend some time with Harry alone and teach him some basic things." Lily smiled and said: "That could work. We would be able to tell him that even though he does lack magical aura, he would never be lacking love from us."

Dumbledore sighed audibly and more gravely this time. Lily and James looked at him with a quizzical look at their faces. Dumbledore said: "I know Lily and James how are you feeling but things don't work like that. The prophecy clearly states that Jonathan has to kill or get killed in the end but he must kill Voldemort with a power which Voldemort doesn't have. This power is- love. That's why we should give Jonathan as much as love we could. And you both should give him an undivided attention and affection."

James gaped at him where as Lily had a murderous look at her face. She stood up quickly and shouted: "HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE YOU SUGGEST THAT WE SHOULD NEGLECT OUR OWN SHILD BECAUSE HE LACKS MAGICAL AURA AND HE ISN'T THE CHOSEN ONE." James stood up and put his arms around Lily shoulders and calmed her down. After few minutes when lily was able to calm down, they both sat on their chairs and glared at Dumbledore. "I know what you both are feeling but things are only going to work in this way. If you are going to give both children equal attention and affection then I must warn you that children can mistook very small things, too."

Lily continued to glare at headmaster meanwhile James looked at Lily and said: "I think so headmaster is right Lily. Jonathan is going to kill Voldemort in upcoming years and he must love and must be grown in surrounded by love. If we are going to give both of them equal attention and affection then do remember that we are raising children and children can mistook very small things. If we are going to favor Harry for something good, Jonathan is going to believe that we don't love him. And we can afford Harry with these thoughts in his mind but we can't afford Jonathan with these thoughts." Lily glared at him and opened her mouth to say something but was quickly cut by headmaster: "Lily! Do you really want to stake the whole wizarding and as well as whole muggle world for the sake of Harry?" Lily opened and closed her mouth several times loss no words to say. At least she said: "Its only about favoring Jonathan more than harry so we can compromise at that. Besides, its not that we are completely going to neglect him."

"I am sorry Lily but it is completely like this." Dumbledore said sounding not sorry at all. Lily eyes burned with rage whereas James stood up and shouted: "YOU ARE TELLING US HEADMASTER THAT WE SHOULD NEGLECT OUR SON-OUR HARRY COMPLETELY BECAUSE OF HIS LACK OF MAGICAL POWER."

"It is exactly what I am telling you. If you are going to favor Jonathan over Harry then Harry is also going to rebel and protest But, if he will know from start to expect no display of love from you, then he will be able to cope with it. And I assure you, it will lead him nowhere but to strongness and power, meanwhile Jonathan will be also able to get love and defeat Voldemort. Believe me it is for the best." Dumbledore replied sarcastically.

James and Lily nodded and James said: "Right we agree. But when the right time will come, we will tell Harry everything." Dumbledore nodded and then looked at Lily. James placed a comforting hand on her shoulder and she said: "I am ready to neglect my child for the sake of the wizarding world." Dumbledore nodded. "But I wish that I could have died last night…I wish I could have completely sacrificed my life rather than seeing this day." Tears began to roll down her and James' cheeks, and Dumbledore's eyes were also filled with tears. Deep down in his heart he knew that he is killing Lily's soul by taking her child from her.
