Godric's Hollow is a small village, it is home to a number of notable magic families.. Including the Dumbledore family, Bowman Wright, Bathilda Bagshot, as well as our brand new parents James and Lily Potter.. They of course lived with their now one year old Holly.. She was the apple of their eye.. Holly could do no wrong, in their eyes.. Not that a one year old could do much wrong..
Holly Potter was loved by nearly the whole village.. Magic folk and Muggles alike.. She had such a sweet disposition on life, with her fiery auburn hair and blue eyes.. She had melted her way into all the hearts in Godric's Hollow.. Holly was a very contented baby, not needing a lot of attention.. Her magic grew each day as she grew more beautiful.. Holly had visitors from the Magic world too.. She had wormed her way into the heart of Lily's friend, Teresa Berlitz..
"Oh my Lily, you and James are so lucky.. What a wonderful surprise she is.. Like a breath of fresh air.." Teresa said as they sat having coffee watching young Holly sleeping.. "Thank you, she is a wonderful baby.. I think after that war we all needed a distraction.. Holly just seems to be the perfect one.." Lily said to her.. The two women talked for hours about motherhood, and about life in general.. So much had been going on in the Magic world, that sometimes they forgot just to be and to enjoy each other's company.. This is what Lily felt that Holly had brought to their lives..
"She is one Bonnie Lass." Sirius Black said to James as he patted him on the back.. "Isn't she just.. I can still not believe she is ours.." James said.. "I thought the sleepless nights would make that crystal clear for you friend." Remus said with a smile at his friend.. "Sleepless nights, James snores while I am up and down all night long." Lily said laughing.. "I take my turn.. I remember two nights ago, I got up for our Holly." James said.. "Because you were already up getting a drink." Lily said laughing.. "Always the night owl, James." Peter Pettigrew said with a smirk.. "Is there another time?" James asked, laughing with his friends..
"Everyone loves our Holly, Lily." James said to her with a smile.. "How could they not, she is one very special and beautiful girl." Lily replied.. "I can not wait to go and visit Gotham again.. Bruce loves playing with her, as does Adrian." James said.. "I know, Thomas and Martha for Muggles are very nice people.." Lily said with a smile down at Holly.. "Do you think they will become girlfriend and boyfriend one day?" James asked Lily.. "Who my dear?" Lily asked, teasing him.. She already knew he was talking about their Holly and Adrian Wayne.. "Well I was thinking about the Waynes and our Holly.." James said with a laugh.. "That is a long way down the track, but one would hope." Lily replied..
Life went on like this for a time, but things began to change.. The air crackled with the dark magic.. So to be safe with Holly, James and Lily made the decision to make Peter Pettigrew their Secret Keeper.. They had used a protection spell to cloak their house from the Magic world.. Now all they had to do was keep he who shall not be named from their door.. But that week things took a tragic turn of events for the little family.. A turn of events that no one had seen coming.. All except Sybill Trelawney, who while talking with Professor Dumbledore, told him of a girl who would have the power to vanquish he who shall not be named.. To which Severus Snape could not wait to repeat to the Lord of Darkness himself..
Placing young Holly and her parents in danger.. So on the night of 31 of October, The Dark Lord went visiting Godric's Hollow.. James had sprung to his feet.. "Take Holly and protect her.. Always remember I love you." James said to her.. "I love you too." Lily replied.. They could feel the Darkness coming for them.. As Lily rushed off into Holly's bedroom, she placed the young and now alert child in her cot.. "You stay here my sweet.. Mummy and Daddy love you." Lily said, kissing the girl on the forehead.. Holly gurgled at her and began to play with her toys, making them dance in the cot.. While Lily barricaded the door and stood with her wand ready to strike..
By now James had made his way downstairs and out to the garden gate.. Where the wind had just begun to whip itself into a frenzy.. He knew of course what was coming.. He stood on guard at the gate, waiting all alone.. It did not take long for the Dark Lord to arrive and to make his move.. "Give me the girl." He said to James.. "Never!" James replied.. "You Potter can not take me down, now give me the girl and you and your other half may live." He said to him.. "Again, Never!" James yelled as he sent out a flash of green lightning to the Dark Lord.. He began to laugh.. "You think you can defeat me? You are noting Potter.. You neve were!" He yelled back at him, sending lighting from his wand to James.. But he was quick, he ran and as he ran he sent out his own green lightning from his wand.. "You will never take her! We will not let you!" James yells at him.. "Of course I will you fool. She is mine!" The Dark Lord yelled right before hitting James with the green lightning from his wand.. James tried to shield himself, but the Dark Lord was far too powerful.. He was dead in seconds..
Inside Lily screamed in pain.. She could feel the loss of James, as it ripped through her.. Almost ripping her in half.. She then ran to Holly's cot and stood at the end of it.. Her wand drawn.. If it was the last thing she did, she was going to save Holly from that Evil Monster..
The door began to pound, bang, bang, bang, as he stood on the other side taunting Lily.. "I have taken him down.. You felt it when he died didn't you......" He said to Lily from the other side of the door.. Lily did not answer, she kept her mind on Holly who was playing with her toys.. She was now laughing like this was an everyday experience.. To her it was, she was safe, warm and in her cot playing with her toys.,.
"I will have her.. You can not protect her.. Just as James could not protect you both." The Dark Lord said to her.. "Yes, I can." She replied to no one.. "I am going to kill her, and you if I have to.. I can not have such a dangerous girl living." He said to her now in a calm voice.. "She is not dangerous, are you my love?" Lily said, looking down on Holly.. "Oh yes she is.. Dangerous and a treat to me!" The Dark Lord said as he stood before Lily and Holly..
"How can she be a danger to you.. Look at her, she is just a baby." Lily said to him.. "A baby that will one day grow and try to kill me.. I can not have that.. Now give me the girl, and you shall live." The Dark Lord said to her.. "Never!" Lily yelled at him, sending her green lightning from her wand at him.. "You foolish woman you." The Dark Lord said as he laughed in her face.. Sending the green lightning back at her.. Lily screamed as she fell to the floor at the end of Holly's cot dead..
"Now it is your turn child.. No one will challenge me and live!" The Dark Lord said.. As he raised his wand to Holly, she giggled, and smiled at him. He hit her with his Dark Magic, with all his might.. He thought he had won for a second.. Before Holly reflected his Dark Magic back at him.. The green lightning bolt that hit him, slid straight through him.. It speeds through the night, around the world, into the cot in Gotham..
Where it lit up the room with a green glow.. In the cot in Gotham, lay a small boy.. His hand clenched into a fist as he took to green lightning and sent it right back around the world to Holly.. It was as if the children together were playing a game with the Dark Magic.. It was only seconds and the Dark Lord was now on the floor, nothing left but his dark cloak.. As he scurried away, Holly began to play with her toys again.. While she played with her toys, a small red lightning bolt scar appeared on her forehead.. While she sat and rubbed at it, she said just one word.. "Adrian.".. In Gotham the small boy lay in his cot kicking his legs.. On the inside of his forearm a small red lightning bolt scar appeared.. He touched it and said one word.. "Holly."
The Dark Lord had no idea what had just taken place.. He was shattered, he was in pieces.. As he scurried away from Godric's Hollow, to find somewhere to hide and lick his wounds.. While Holly and Adrian both continued to talk to each other, play and giggle together.. Not knowing how close they had both come to death.. In the force of the Dark Magic hitting the stately Manor House in Godric's Hollow.. The house was destroyed, but it could only be seen by Magic Folk..........................................................
