'HARRY POTTER THE BOY WHO LIVED'

31st october 1981

"i think that should be the last of the trick or treaters", A young father with circular glasses said as he closed the door.

"finaly!", the woman sat on the sofa said while gently rocking the baby boy in her arms.

"we can take the kids up to bed now", james said.

suddenly the youngest of the two babies started crying.

"what's her problem, she hasn't settled all night?", james asked.

"i don't know, maybe just all the people coming to the do-.", she was cut off as the door burst open.

"lily go upstairs and take the kids", James yelled, knowing who he was about to come face to face with.

He grabbed his wand from the coffee table.

"immobulus", the snake like man said before james could utter a spell.

Voldemort made his way up the stairs, gliding almost. His only goal that night was to destroy the baby that opposed a threat to him, according to the prophesy.

In the nursery upstairs lily gently rocked harry after placing down her baby girl into the crib.

"mummy loves you harry, mummy loves you"

she placed him down beside his sister and pulled out her wand, pointing it towards the door as it burst open.

"please spare my son, he's only one.", lily pleaded desperately.

The snake eyed man didn't think twice before wordlessly casting a spell to knock her unconscious.

He then turned towards the two infants sat together in the crib. The oldest of the two started at his mother, crying, confused as to why she wasn't soothing him and the other looked curiously up at voldemort.

BANG
and just like that he was gone.

Dumbledore was notified immediately after voldemort entered the potters hide out home.

He first went to james who paralysed on the floor, whom he was relieved to know was still alive.

The two men made their way up the stairs into the nursery. The majority of the ceiling had collapsed with lily lying amongst the rubble.

"Lils wake up, come on", james said while rubbing her back anxiously.

She started to stir which filled the men with relief.

"Harry !", she exclaimed pulling her self up.

They all moved over to the crib where a baby boy was crying. He had the shape of a lightning bolt bleeding out on his forehead.

"Voldemort has tried to kill harry with the killing curse but it seems harry has rebounded it and killed voldemort", dumbledore smiled, a twinkle in his eye.

Lily smiled tearfully, and james picked up his son proudly, "My son, the potter heir, killed voldemort. I reckon that counts as a cause for celebration"

Lily nodded in agreement patting her son on the head.

James lifted harry above his head, chanting something about harry being the saviour of the wizarding world, while lily and dumbledore followed close behind.

No one seemed to bother about the other twin, alora potter. Forgotten by her family as they fawned over the boy who lived.
