ENTWINED FUTURE : THE CURSED PROPHECY

The fateful night

Potter Cottage, Godric's hollow

James potter was standing in the living room near the window, looking down at the lane. He heaved a sigh. He was really frustrated staying in this small cottage. No excursions! How could he actually live without them? He was very bored here. But he did not complain it as this was all for the sake of his family.

And speaking of his family .......

"Daddy!" said a boy of about one year of age behind him.

James smiled widely at the boy who was running towards him. He quickly scooped him up in his arms.

"What's up Harry?" he asked the boy

The boy grinned widely. "Nothing"

"Where's your brother?" Asked James, laughing at his son's innocence.

"Alex is with mother" said Harry.

Lily potter entered the living room, holding her son in her arms. She sat down next to James. Lily potter was stunningly beautiful for a mother of three. (SURPRISE) the moment their mother sat down, both boys climbed down from their parents lap and started playing with each other. James pulled Lily into his lap and started stroking her hair gently. Lily rested her head on his shoulder, looking with a mixture of happiness and sadness at her sons.

"Did you hear from dad about rose, lils" asked James. They had sent there two month old daughter to the potter manor so that James's father, Charlus, could take care of her. James's mother was staying with them here.

"No, last time I heard was yesterday." replied Lily sadly .

"Its ok lils, we will get out of here soon and then we will see our daughter once again." James tried to soothe Lily.

"How can you be sure James? For all we know we can die here today. How will I forgive myself if I could not even meet my daughter a last time? "Tears were starting to well into Lily's eyes. James kept stroking Lily's hair, trying to calm her.

"Grandma!" chorused the boys together, Lily and James looked up

Dorea potter had entered the living room .an elegant and lean woman, Dorea potter did not show any signs of old age. She simply leaned on the doorway as the boys came rushing towards her and gave a faint smirk towards Lily and James. Lily blushed and quickly got up from James lap while James rolled his eyes. You have to leave it to his mother to spoil a moment.

"My my, am I intruding on something" Dorea asked smirking. Her grandsons hugged her quickly.

"N-n-no ... of course not mother" Lily's face resembled almost a glowing sun as she quickly rushed towards the kitchen. James rolled his eyes "great timing mom "

"Well you need to confine your romance to your room Jamie. There are one year olds here you know, they might get ideas." Dorea replied, still smirking.

"Are you serious mom?" James replied sarcastically.

"No, he would be at his manor" said Dorea, now laughing.

"Wow, the great James 'I am the biggest prankster 'potter forgot the family joke he made himself." James face palmed.

They continued chatting while the children ran around the room laughing.

Suddenly James stood up and squinted at the dark lane. The wards had alerted him that someone had apparated into the village. He and his father had not trusted Dumbledore and his wards around the village and set up their own special wards for more protection .he could see a dark shadow coming upwards towards their house. James knew that it was time. Dorea looked worriedly from her son to the dark lane. "LILY" James shouted "he is coming. Come here quickly. We need to decide the plan."
