Prologue.

July 31st, 1977.

A woman in St' Mungo's cried out in pain. As she struggled to stay awake the man next to her was trying as best he could to keep the woman's spirits up and did his best to encourage her. She panted from exhaustion, her body was weakening.

"Come on Lilly, "The man told his wife "Just a little bit more he's almost here "

"Easy for you to say James " Lilly "You're not the one who has to deliver the little bugger"

Though she was starting to drift off into the realm of sleep that was not enough to prevent her dėsɨrė from seeing her baby holding him in her arms. As soon as the healers finished getting the baby cleaned off, they obliged to her wishes. They handed the baby into her outstretched arms once he was ready to be held. The man next to her leaned over to help as she struggled to reach out for her baby. Her face exploded with happiness, smiling so brightly. She forgot her fatigue as she watched the sleeping form of her baby.

"Congratulations, Ms. Potter, on a healthy baby boy." the healer said with a smile. "What are you going to name him?"

Lily exchanged a look with her husband before shifting her attention back to the healer with a smile. "Harry. Harry James Potter."

The healer smiled, nodding her head. After cleaning and putting away the equipment, she left the couple alone to spend time with their .

For a while, silence was the only thing in the room. All of a sudden, Lily whispered quietly to the man, "He's beautiful James.."

"Hmm What..." James Potter wasn't really paying attention to what she was saying, too distracted holding one of his son's tiny hands.

Lily chortled at his behavior, shaking her head tiredly."We spent all of this time waiting for this little guy" she said softly

As James then tried to reach down to give little Harry a kiss he turned and bopped James on the nose

James blinked surprised and then let out a chuckle "My My this one is going to be quite a feisty one"

Lily smiled "I think he is going to get along with Sirius quite well she said"smiling warily.

Little by little, a large grin swiped across James's mouth. He had never felt so happy in his life. As he was now a new father, He couldn't help but dance happily.

As they started small chat as Lilly started to drift into sleep The sound of someone yawning captured the attention of both ȧduŀts. James swiftly rushed to Lily's side. They watched expectantly as their son gradually fluttered his eyes open and caught his first sight of his parents. What they saw that instant made them breathless as a pair of bright beautiful emerald eyes gazed back at them.

"Lily, he has your eyes!" James joyfully proclaimed. "Look, he has your eyes!"

"Yes, but his are much more beautiful than mine..." Lily kissed the baby's forehead, hugging him lovingly.

"My son is going to be a real ladies' man when he grows up. Sirius will be so proud!"

"James! I'm not going to let you or his godfather influencing him into something like that!" Although her body was drained of energy, they knew she was still capable of unleashing her wrath on her husband.

The man cowered under her glare. "Come on, Lil. It's just a thought... Nothing wrong with that..." he chuckled nervously.

The sound of laughter caused both ȧduŀts to look down in surprise. They were astounded to find the baby was giggling at them, holding his tiny hands in the air. Their shock melted at the sound of their baby's laughter and both parents smiled at their son. James offered his finger to his son, who grabbed his finger in both tiny hands smiling

"You know Lily? I think that Harry is really going to do great things in the future..." James wiggled his finger in the baby's hands, eliciting another giggle from Harry

"Yes, he will," Lily agreed. "I Think he will James..."

About an hour later Sirius and Remus arrived in the hospital room to look at their godson

When Harry saw Sirius start to approach him he looked at Sirius and cooed at his godfather

"Look" Sirius smiled "The little guy likes me don't you Harry" reaching out to touch the baby he was surprised when he swatted away Sirius hand with a small grin on his face,

"Well, would you look at that"Remus chuckled "He doesn't seem to like you that much Sirius".

"I don't know why"Sirius grinned "I'm so loveable".

"In your dreams Padfoot," Lilly told the dark-haired Marauder "I hope that Prongslet isn't reckless like his father ".

"Hey" James ġrȯȧnėd "I resemble that remark"

Harry giggled at the ȧduŀts arguing around him.

Lily smiled at her baby squirming around on the bed and was about to reach for him when they were interrupted by the door opening.

"Ahh, Albus you made it"James recognized the old headmaster.

"Lily, James"The headmaster looked at them with the customary twinkle in his eyes "I am glad to see that you all are ok and that the child arrived without a problem.".

"Yes headmaster everything went as it was supposed to, "James told holding up the baby"This is Harry James Potter"

Dumbledore smiled as he viewed the child nestled in James' arms

Remus and Sirius smiled as they viewed James showing his son to the Headmaster. Remus than decide to add his two sickles "He seems to have inherited Lily's eyes and James attitude Headmaster"

Dumbledore nodded looking sheepish "How many times do I have to tell you my boys I am no longer your headmaster you can just call me Albus".

"Sorry, still a force of habit Albus" Sirius admitted.

"Don't worry about it my boy you are not the first and will not be the last to do that"Dumbledore said looking down at Harry "My congratulations on your new child Mr. and Mrs. Potter may he bring you much joy in life".

James and Lily thanked the headmaster and as he was leaving Lilly started to feel the effects of the childbirth.

"Alright everyone out, "Lilly said, "You can visit Harry later I'm tired".

"Alright," Remus said "Congratulations"

As Remus and Sirius left the hospital room James looked down and kissed his wife before leaving to get some sleep of his own.

"He's beautiful Lilly" James smiled like Christmas had come early.

"Yes, and you can look at him later but i need to sleep"In a voice that showed that Lily was getting frustrated by the lack of sleep.

James chuckled as he left the hospital room and Lilly drifted off into the realm of sleep.

Chapter 1

31 October 1981.

The wind howled fiercely across the blackened sky as Rain poured down relentlessly over a lone his follower

"Is this the Potter's House Wormtail "He turned to the quivering man

"Yes My Lord "Pettigrew told the older man "Potter Cottage is at 1234 Godric's Hollow"

As he saw the house start to appear he turned back to Pettigrew

"Very Well then leave you have served your purpose," the man said turning back to the spy "I will finish the rest of this myself".

"Thank you my lord"Pettigrew said with relief "You are too kind".

As Pettigrew turned to leave he turned back to the cottage

He had not trusted any of his followers to escort him on this important mission. He had to do this alone. Lord Voldemort, the self-proclaimed Dark Lord of Wizardry, marched with authority toward his target. The Potter's secret keeper had now revealed to him the location of where they lay hidden. Normally, he would ignore such a child, reflecting it to not be a threat to his power, though he had been convinced to make an exception in this case

With a wave of his wand, the door exploded. A high-pitch screech shattered his thoughts. Without looking, he soundlessly cast a dark curse in the girl's direction, decapitating her. Looking over the body, his lips curled downward. The body looked like an ordinary muggle but didn't belong to that mudblood or her husband. The Potter's weren't here. Boiling in rage, he screamed, permitting a huge flow of magic to destroy every bit of his surroundings.

With a swish of his wand, the wards around the house began to collapse. Just as he was about to leave, the cries of a baby emanated from the upper level of the house. Voldemort moved to the staircase, scurrying up it until he reached the last door,.He blasted the door open, causing a small boy to jolt in surprise. Red eyes stared with interest at the crib, though what fascinated him most was the older boy, no more than four years old, who was gazing at him with fierce emerald eyes.

"Do you not fear me, boy?" Voldemort hissed in a dark voice.

"No I have been expecting you!" the boy hissed back

Voldemort looked surprised "You can speak the language of the snakes"He sounded impressed

The boy shrugged "I have spoken to the garden snakes before if that is wondering "But I don't know what that would be".

Voldemort's eyes flashed in amusement. "Ah, the fun of youth if things were different I would welcome you as one of my own but sadly that is not the case. I do not kill children nor do I torture them, but your brother is an exception. So I ask you to stand aside, boy! It is not you who I am after!"

"I am afraid that cannot happen," the boy told the Dark Lord...

"Very well, if you wish to defend your brother, then I suppose you shall die by his side. Nonetheless, I need to deal with him first, so be gone for now!" With a wave of his wand, the boy flew behind the crib, hitting the wall with a hard thump. The man glanced into the crib, spotting a bawling child no more than a year old. "At long last, I have found you. I do not know why the fates say this, but this has to be done, one way or another. Farewell, Max Potter. Rest ȧssured I will make this painless."

He looked to the side and saw young Harry looking at him with those infernal eyes. He decided it wouldn't hurt for Max Potter to see his brother die in front of him before he finished the job.

Turning and leveling his wand, he summoned his magic. "Avada Kedavra!"

Harry Potter watched the scene unfold before him. He had already seen all of this in his dreams and smirked as he knew the mistake that was being made. As he saw the green beam start to streak toward him as he hoped this all worked out as he his jaws, gritting his teeth together something tingled inside Harry. A golden light began to envelop his body, sparkling fiercely. It halted the killing curse just before it reached him.

The man's eyes were wide in shock, never before had he stumbled upon such magic. He believed the baby had created such a thing. Sweat poured over Harry in his effort to stop the killing curse. The baby cried more at all the ruckus, and as fate entwined their futures, the baby poured all of his magic into the golden shield. With this sudden turnabout, the shield miraculously converted into the color of white before deflecting the rest of the curse back to the Dark Lord.

An ear-piercing scream erupted from the cottage, followed by the cries of Max Potter. Bit by bit, the snake-faced man was ripped to pieces, replaced by a pile of black ashes

James and Lily Potter had been called by Dumbledore to an emergency meeting of the Order of the a major recent battle in Diagon Alley that had left several of their number cut down. But right in the middle of it, they were interrupted by their house elf Mipsy barging in, panic written all over her face as she kept babbling in a scared voice. It took several minutes to settle her down, enough for them to understand she was yelling about something bad happening at the house involving the kids

Both parents swallowed uneasily, praying that their worst fear of Voldermort finding their house had not come true

Nonetheless, when Dumbledore confirmed that someone unwanted had entered their hidden place, they knew it to be true. After Apparating to their residence, everyone stared in horror at the fire blazing through the house. Dumbledore commanded everyone to cast Aguamenti in order to put out the seemingly uncontrollable flames.

Ignoring everyone else, both parents sprinted into the house. Dumbledore and a few others followed, casting Aguamenti all the way. A feeling of dread surfaced as they caught sight of the girl the Potter's had ȧssigned to watch over their children, lying in front of them without a head. Lily, sobbing by now, dashed upstairs to find her boys. Without wasting any time, the others followed her.

That was when they came across a very strange sight.

Before them lay their two kids with Max still crying in his crib and Harry laying against the wall looking stunned but still in one piece. Relief ignited in all of them. The parents rushed to Max to inspect his injuries while the others flew to the unconscious boy. They then moved over frantically to satisfy their concerns regarding whether or not her younger son was ok or not. A few minutes after they had arrived the Hogwarts Matron Madam Pomfrey came over to verify their conditions.

She noted that the eldest son had suffered damage only to his left arm, which she deemed the primal reason for his current state halfway across the room from his brother. She never realized that the true reason for his current state had been his exhaustion from using too much magic. As Madam Pomfrey declared Max Potter had lost the majority of his magic but was still conscious. Dumbledore walked over to the younger baby, held by Lily, and moved a strand of red hair away from his face. There, on his forehead, was a lightning bolt scar caused by some falling debris with blood still trickling over its features.
