Ch.2- The Journey Begins

1 Year later:

Lily had just put Harry and Sapphira to bed and she walked downstairs to talk to James. They had been fighting a lot more recently. James had been such a good sport when he found out about the children's real father and he raised them as if they were his own. Things recently started to spiral out of control when Lily discussed with him how she thought Severus should know he was the kid's father. James wouldn't hear of it, especially considering the fact that he overheard her say Severus in her sleep. He felt like he was losing her. He was losing his Lily to Snivellus and he wouldn't have that. To top things off the secret he was hiding from her kept gnawing at his insides. If he loved Lily shouldn't he just tell her about his drunken mistake? She would forgive him…wouldn't she? Of course she would your acting barmy James. You raised the products of her scandalous affair, who is she to judge? James you guys have bigger problems, the dark lord is trying to destroy your family….you have to protect them.

Lily's soft voice snapped him from his thoughts "James." His Hazel eyes met her emerald eyes Merlin how did he get so lucky. "Yes angel," he gave her his cocky smile and she laughed. It had been so long since he heard that beautiful sound. The dark lord brought a lot of stress to his family. Lily constantly looked exhausted and worn, dark circles under her eyes. He would stay awake most nights trying to figure out how to stop the maniac. Lily noticed the worried look he constantly tried to hide and sat next to him curling up against his chest. James heart swelled and he put a comforting arm around her shoulder. "I love you Lils" he placed a soft kiss on her forehead. She smiled at that "I love you too Jamie" she joked. "Hey, I told you not to call me that it isn't masculine enough." she chuckled and playfully smacked his arm at his statement. "Shut it Potter!" he gave her a cocky grin "How about you make me, Mrs. Potter." Lily smiled and leaned up and pecked his lips then leaned her head on his chest. "James….do you think things will get better?" He sighed but held her tighter "They will Lily… I know they will."

October 31, 1981 (Godric's Hollow)

James heard the door rattle and yelled for Lily to take the children and go. Lily was terrified so she did what she could and grabbed Sapphira and hid her behind the paneling whispering calming words to her and for her to stay quiet, Sapphira shed silent tears. Lily went for Harry next but right as she went to reach for her she heard "Avada Kedavra" and a loud thump. Tears fell down her cheeks as she knew it was James who made that noise. She tried to get Harry into the paneling before it was too late, but Voldemort opened the door. She placed Harry in his crib and turned to face him. "Don't kill him take me instead." Voldemort lazily gestured his wand at her "Step aside." She stood in-between him and Harry "No I won't." Voldemort sighed but flicked his wand at her and she flew from her spot in front of Harry and out the window into the empty house next door. Her head knocking hard on the wall making her vision go dark.

James got up from where Voldemort left him assuming he was hit by his killing curse. He raced to the nursery and threw himself in front of Harry. Voldemort flicked his wand quickly at him uttering the killing cursed "Avada Kedavra." James crumbled to the floor his lifeless eyes staring at the ceiling as Harry's cries were rang loudly throughout the house. Voldemort raise his wand one last time at the small child but this time the curse rebounded and Harry was left with a small scar and the dark lord disappeared. Sapphira cried loudly, afraid, which caused little Harry to cry as well.

Dumbledore's Office:

Dumbledore was sitting in his office when he received the message that the Potters had been attacked. He sent his Patronus to Rubeus Hagrid before apparating to Godric's Hollow, his heart racing he made it to the scene of the crime where young Harry cried. He looked sadly at James Potter's lifeless body. Strange, where was Lily Potter? He looked around at the devastation and he noticed the broken window at the neighboring house. He gave Harry his teddy bear and then when Rubeus arrived he told him to take Harry to the Dursley's, giving him the address and he went next door narrowly missing Sirius Black as he came, fearing the worst. As Dumbledore entered the muggle home he soon noticed one young red haired witch who was crumbled on the floor in a pool of what appeared to be blood. He acted quickly and brought her to Poppy Pomfrey. She had to put her into a medical coma but Dumbledore made a room for her next to Poppy's so she could keep an eye on her and made a vow with Poppy that she never reveal that Lily Potter was indeed alive no matter what or who asked. Poppy hesitated but agreed, it was for the best, just in case she never woke.

Hagrid:

Just as Sirius left, Hagrid soothed little Harry Potter he heard another noise a soft crying noise. He found the source of the noise and pried open the paneling to show a tears stained little Sapphira Asphodel Potter. "Merlin's beard!" he picked up the crying girl and held her close she immediately went silent playing with his beard as her brother fell asleep. He noticed a letter in a crevice of the small hole that held the infant. He read it as best he could and it said:

Dear S.S

If you are reading this letter something terrible must have happened. This is the hardest thing to tell you but please understand. That night that you were there for me is one of the worst and best nights of my life. I would have stayed had I not found out were your loyalties lie. I sincerely apologize for hurting you, if it did hurt when I left. But I did, I do care for you and I always will. But that is not the purpose of this letter, this letter I leave with your children. Yes that night I got pregnant and James helped cover it up but we couldn't cover up Sapphira. She looked too much like you and so we hid her from the world but you have two children. Harry and Sapphira Asphodel Potter. I apologize for keeping it from you especially considering your line of work. Please take care of Our Children. Keep them safe

With Love, Lily Potter

Hagrid smiled and tucked the note in his pocket happy knowing these kids had a father out there. One day he hoped to find out who this S.S was. For now Hagrid put her in his cloak and brought Harry to the Dursley's, but when he got there he couldn't bring himself to leave little Sapphira. No one knew about her so Hagrid felt it was up to him to take care of her. He left Harry regrettably with the Dursley's and with Sirius's bike went home to Hogwarts.

Severus:

He was in his potions lab brewing Veritaserum for the Dark Lord when the news broke. The Dark Lord was gone and it was Harry Potter who vanquished him. He felt like he was doused with ice cold water. That meant the Dark Lord had to enter the Potter's home… that meant the boy lived. What about Lily? His heart stopped and he quickly apparated to Godric's Hollow only to see her house erupt in flames. His Heart shattered into a million pieces. Lily was gone. He rushed to put out the flames noticing the cruel teasing snake in the sky. The flames ate away at the house while he fervently tried to extinguish it. He watched the mocking flames with hatred as they died away. He search the house extensively when he enter the nursery and saw an unrecognizable body that was practically ash next to an equally sizeable amount of ash. He fell to his knees she was gone lily was gone. He could no longer hold back his one and only love was taken from him. Voldemort robbed him of all he loved he glared at the mark in disgust. If you didn't have this ridiculous mark Lily would probably be alive. He was inconsolable unable to think straight those words from the terribly beautiful night played in a loop on his mind.
I can't forgive you for taking HIS mark…

I'm going to marry James….

Don't try to contact me…

He stayed that way for a while until he saw a glint of something. He got up and noticed a small locket he cautiously picked it up it was half burned but he could still make out one of the pictures. A small baby boy with bright green eyes giggled and gave him a toothy grin. He clenched the locket in his fist it was Potter's son…No it was Lily son. If he couldn't save Lily he would see how he could help the boy defeat the Dark lord because he felt this wasn't the last of Voldemort. He put the locket in his pocket and apparated to hogsmeade making his way to Albus Dumbledore.
