Chapter 1: Introduction
It was a very hectic night one 20th of July.
"Oh James, what are we going to do? Severus said He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named will come for one of our babies!" a very beautiful and very pregnant red-haired woman was sobbing into her husbands shoulder.
"We'll do what we have to, Lily. Thats why we went into hiding with Alex remember?" James told her gently rubbing her back.
"That was before I found out I was pregnant! And with twins!" Lily screamed hysterically.
"Honey, please calm down! It's not good for you or the twins to panic" he said starting to panic himself. Suddenly they heard a small, almost frightened, voice say,
"Mama?"
Quickly turning towards the voice they saw there one, almost two, year old son Alex crawling towards them with tears in his eyes. Quickly snapping out of her shock Lily ran towards her son and instantly began checking for any injuries. Since becoming pregnant she had become twice as protective and anxious. Seeing that her son had no physical injuries simply held him in her arms and rocked them back and fourth, though for his comfort or for her own she couldn't tell.
"What are you doing out of bed, Sweetie?" she asked still rocking him.
"Loud. Scary." was the cryptic answer he gave back. Feeling the anxiety and paranoia start to claw up her body she prayed that it was she who was to loud and not something else that scared her son.
James, as if feeling his wife's growing stress asked his son softly, "what was too loud?"
Turning his large brown, tear filled eyes, his red hair whooshing in his face, to his father and mumbled "Mama" seeing the look on Lily's face he knew she was relieved. Deciding the whole family had enough excitement for the night he ushered Lily towards there bedroom, letting Alex stay with them.
A week or so later, on July 31st, two precious little boys came into the world. The older twin, Jake Remus Potter, was a healthy boy of 8 pounds and 5 ounces. He had his mother's fine hair though it was black like his fathers. He also had his fathers brown eyes. When he came into the world he let everyone know about it. James and Lily decided to make Remus the godfather so there has someone who could keep him out of trouble('Lily's words, I swear!' James had shouted at his two friends amused faces). The younger twin, Harry Sirius Potter, on the other hand was a baby of 5 pounds and 6 ounces. He had his fathers unruly black hair and his mothers stunning emerald green eyes. When he had been born he was silent. They had been afraid he was a still born until they saw him shift slightly and the gentle rise of his chest. The doctors had told them that Harry had weak lungs that could develop into asthma among other health risks. James and Lily had decided to make Sirius the godfather and before you all go 'are they crazy?' they saw the way Sirius held Harry tenderly as if he were afraid he would break and saw the tender and loving look in his eye's when he looked at him, promising to keep him safe even if it cost him his life. After seeing that soft side of the usually crazy, temperamental, fun-loving Sirius there were no other option in there eyes. When they told such to their friend Severus Snape, who was holding onto the twins older brother who was also his godson Alex Severus Potter, scoffed and bitterly said that he had no choice but to agree.
"Mama, who 'dey?" little Alex asked sitting with his mother and father looking at the twins.
"These Alex are your new little brothers. This one is your brother Jake and the one your daddy is holding is Harry. You gotta be nice to them okay?" his mother answered.
"Baby brotha's? Bu' mama! They so small." Alex said grabbing one of his brothers little tiny hands, Harry's he think it was, and just held it.
"Yes they are small. So as there older brother you gotta make sure they stay safe, kay Alex?" his father told him.
"Okay daddy." Alex whispered to absorbed in watching his younger brother squeeze his hand. Noticing the baby opening it's eyes he saw they were green just like his mama's!
"Are we gonna go home now?" Alex asked watching his younger brothers sleep, switching his attention from one brother to the other every five minutes.
"Not yet baby. We have to wait for your mommy to get better. Then we can go home." James told his son smiling as he watched his oldest play with his youngest fingers and his middles toes.
"Oh, okay" Alex mumbled. When their oldest son fell asleep they asked the doctor on how soon could they go home.
"Well in normal cases after the mother has had time to rest the would be able to leave in 3-8 days. But because of your sons lungs we need to keep him over for about two weeks for supervision." she told them. Just when they thought nothing could get worse.
Three Weeks Later:
"Look boys! We're finally home." Lily smiled at the two bundles in her's and James's arms. Severus (who was carrying a sleeping Alex), Lupin, and Sirius followed close behind them. "Lily, don't smother the poor boys!" laughed Sirius.
"Oh hush up you! There my children if I want to smother them with love I will." Lily puffed. While she didn't want to admit it out loud the four men easily saw...she was afraid. Afraid the Dark Lord would come for one of the two new most important people in their lives.
31of October:
"James! James where are you?" Lily cried. She had just been setting the twins up for bed when she heard the wards go off.
"Right here! Here take Alex and the twins and stay there!" James said running towards her carrying Alex with him. Handing him over to his mother he pushed her towards the stairs. Running towards her youngest son's room she heard the doors below being blow open. Praying for her husbands life she managed to get to the room and put up wards around the door. Putting Alex in the crib with Jake she ran over to Harry's crib to also put him with his brothers when the door was blown open. Managing to place Harry with his brothers while also grabbing her wand she raised it and placed herself between the madman and her three sweet babies. Her angels.
"Move aside mud-blood and I may decided to spare your pitiful life." came the most creepy and coldest voice Lily has ever had the misfortune to hear.
"No! You will not get my children. Not while I'm alive!" she screamed shooting a cutting curse at him. Easily dodging the attack he flicked his wand saying a spell she didn't recognize and she was sent flying back and went unconscious. Walking towards the three defenseless children he pondered who he should kill first. Before making a decision the smallest of the three eyes popped open to peer at the strange creature standing over then. Deciding to just kill that brat first he raised his wand and whispered 'Avada Kadavra'
What he didn't expect was for his curse to surround the child then rebound and hit him! Thinking quickly he murmured a spell to not get completely destroyed. All that was left was a small lightning shaped scar on little Harry's forehead while he was unconscious from all the power he used. While he was regaining power he never noticed a man wearing a purple robe with a long beard enter the room.
'So Voldemort was already here. But who is the chosen one?' Dumbledore wondered. 'The prophesy said he would mark his equal so look for a mark' looking at the twin boys he saw that young Jake, who was still awake and screaming, had a 'v' shaped mark on his head. Assuming that was the mark he thought 'Jake is the boy-who-lived! He needs to be trained. But before that I must get rid of the twin. He'd only get in the way' so grabbing Harry he quickly apperated him to his office and left him there for the time being. Going back to the Potters he transfigured a doll to look like Harry and placed it in the crib.
Lily, who was starting to awake, instantly saw him and ran over to check her babies. But before she could reach them Dumbledore stopped her and shook his head at her sadly.
"What are you doing? Let me go! My babies need me!" Lily shouted tugging on her arm to get loose.
"Before you see them I think you should know some things. Firstly Jake is the Boy-Who-Lived. Secondly, he will need to be trained for while the Dark Lord is gone for the moment he will come back. Thirdly, Jake and Alex are fine but Harry..." Dumbledore left off.
"What? What about Harry? What happened to my baby?" Lily screeched at him tearing free and going to the crib. Looking inside she saw Alex and Jake huddled together on one side and on the other...her little baby lying on his back looking to be sleeping. Shakily lowering her hand she put it on the boys cold, lifeless cheek and broke into heart-breaking sobs screaming "My baby! My baby!" that is the scene that James walked into and after being filled in by Dumbledore instantly ran over to Lily and held her, letting her cry into his chest as his own tears fell silently down his cheeks.
After watching the heart-breaking moment for a minute more, Dumbledore went back to his office to take care of Harry. After apperating there he picked up the still recovering child he apperated them to number 4 Privet Drive. Leaving him on the door step with a note saying his name was Harry and that his family had just be murdered he left.
The next morning, Petunia Dursley came out of the house to see the little baby. Not wanting anything to do with magic or anything related to her sister she had her husband Vernon take the young boy and dropped him at the orphanage with the same note left on his little body.
