All was calm in the Potter house on October 31, 1981. Well as calm as it could be when you have one of the infamous members of the Marauders, James Potter, and his two children: Harry and Margaret, more commonly know as Maggie. While Lily was trying to keep all things remotely calm, James was encouraging Maggie and Harry to ride their toy broom sticks around the house while screaming at the top of their lungs. Though the two children were just a couple months over 1, they both were extremely talented flyers and enjoyed it. While Harry was chasing the cat, trying to grab its tail, Maggie was racing around the room just giggling and changing her hair color. Yes the youngest Potter was a Metamorphmagus. Since she was still young her hair color often changed especially when the young girl was happy. When calm, Maggie was a mini Lily. From having the same color hair to the small button nose even to the freckles that dotted both gingers noses and cheeks, Maggie was identical to her mother. Harry on the other hand was the mini form of his father except with his mother's eyes.
Suddenly though everything went into a petrified state. James had heard the popping sound that came only from using apparition. Knowing that friends and other members of the Order usually send a message before coming since the Potters were in hiding, James quickly grabbed Harry as he zoomed past James' head and called for Lily to take the children and hide.
"James! What's wrong," Lily cried to her husband as she took her son from her husband's arms. Harry was sitting on her left side of her waist while Maggie was on her right.
"He's here. He found us. You must take the kids and hide. I'll try to hold him off. I love you," James said as he pushed his family towards the stairs. By this point he heard the clicking of the lock on the front door being magically unlocked. Soon he was standing face to face with the darkest wizard known to man. Since James had left his wand in the other part of the house when he grabbed Harry, Voldemort easily killed James and continued his pursuit of the children. Voldemort stepped over the corpse and made his way up the steps and quickly found the children's nursery where the Lily was bravely protecting the crib where her two children sat.
"Step aside you foolish girl."
"No don't harm my children!"
"Move aside!"
"No! Not Harry! Not Mag-" the women's plead got cut off by her screaming as the killing curse hit her. The vile man then turned and focused on the children. He had no regret as he pointed the wand at the two children and said the two words every wizard and witch fear," Avada Kedavra!"
