Change the Future

*PS 1*

Past

James was sat on the sofa with Rory snuggled on his lap whilst Harry sat in front of him as he made puffs of coloured smoke erupt from his wand for the amusement of his children.

Rory looked down, knowing exactly what this memory was about to show.

"Rory seems like a daddy's girl" Alice said smiling at James.

Harry was laughing and trying to catch the smoke. The door opened and Lily entered.

"Come on its bedtime for you two" Lily says as she picks up Harry whilst James stands up holding Rory. He threw his wand down upon the sofa and stretched. Suddenly the front door burst open as James quickly handed Rory to Lily before sprinting down the hallway, forgetting his wand.

"Lily, take the kids and go! It's him! Go! Run! I'll hold him off!" Voldemort laughed before casting the curse.

"Avada Kedavra!" The green light filled the cramped hallway, it lit the pram pushed against the wall, it made the banisters glare like lightning rods, and James fell.

"No" The Marauders shouted along with Fleamont and Euphemia.

"Daddy" Rory screamed as Lily ran upstairs.

"Oh no" Molly whispered whilst James and Lily shared a look before glancing at their daughter who was still looking down at her hands in her lap.

Lily quickly put Harry down in the cot and placed Rory on the floor by the cot before barricading the door with a chair and boxes. Voldemort forced the door open, cast aside the chair and boxes hastily piled against it with one lazy wave of his wand and there she stood, her arms open as she shielded her children behind her.

"Not my children, not them, please not them!"

"Stand aside, you silly girl stand aside now."

"Not my children, please no, take me, kill me instead"

"This is my last warning, you can leave and live with your daughter I just want the boy"

"Not Harry! Please have mercy have mercy. Not Harry! Not Harry! Please I'll do anything"

"Stand aside. Stand aside, girl!" The green light flashed around the room and she dropped like her husband, Rory screamed and hugged her mothers body.

"Lily" All her friends looked at her with tears in their eyes but Lily's attention was fixed on her daughter.

Voldemort looked at the children and ignored the girl wanting to deal with the boy that was a threat to his future first. He pointed the wand very carefully into the boy's face. Harry began to cry. "Avada Kedavra!" And then the curse backfired as Voldemort fell to the ground. Rory screamed again as she ran downstairs to her father.

"You saw all that. You only look about three" Euphemia said glancing at her grandaughter.

"I was almost four" Rory told her quietly, still not looking up.

"Daddy, get up" Rory begged. She stayed cuddled up to him until Sirius arrived.

"My poor baby" James whispered looking at his daughter and trying not to cry as his friends all looked between him, Lily and their children.

"Hey baby girl" Sirius whispered as he crouched down beside Rory, trying not to look at the body of his best friend. She looked up at him her face covered in tears as he picked her up and hugged her.

"Padfoot" She whispered burying her face in his neck before he heads upstairs.

Sirius looked between the screen and his best friend as James sent him a small smile before concentrating back on the screen. Rory finally looked back up.
