*I couldn't find a picture of the Potter cottage in Godric's Hollow with out the damage to the roof (sorry) so just use your imagination & pretend it isn't there & that it doesn't look as shabby as it does when introduced in the movies. Also, I used the movie version of the cottage because I  couldn't really find a fan drawling of it online that I personally thought did it justice*
Setting: Godric's Hollow; Halloween: 31, 1981-a number of hours before Voldemort's attack...

"James!" Lily calls as a knock comes to the door, "can you get that?"

"Getting it now Lily-flower!" He calls back as he does so, "Jibs..." he says to the person at the door, sounding stunned, "Wha-what're you doing here?"

"Hello James," she states simply, & with slight coldness to it, "where's Lily?"

"With the twins," he replies as she moves past him & into the cottage

"Who is it James?!" Lily calls from the upstairs

"It's Jiba!" He calls back

"Be right down!" She calls in reply

"Take your time Lils," Jiba calls up

"What're you doing here?" James repeats, "I thought you swore you'd never speak to me again-"

"And I had every intention of keeping it that way," she states, "but..." she continues as her eyes avert to the floors

"You saw something," he says in realization, "didn't you?"

"Yes," she replies quietly as she looks to him with tears in her eyes, "it was so dark-and chilling..."

"Oi!" Lily snaps as she comes down with the twins in either arm, "why is she crying James?-what did you say to her?!"

"Have a seat Jibs," James sighs out, "tell us your prediction."

"..." she nods as she takes her niece from her sister-in-law as she does so, "I've already told the others-but none of them believe me...only Aberforth and Professor Dumbledore do-"

"Tell us Jiba," Lily presses her with worry in her voice

"According to Kari when I was visiting her at the vampire court," she starts, "she said that-I said 'history will repeat itself. Our war will become their war as the first is lost and second is won; few will live-most will die, but she with the prophecy from ancestors long past-will rectify the wrongs that've been done,' and then I passed out and woke unaware like I've always done..."

"What does it even mean?" James asks scowling, "The war will become who's?"

"The next generation James," Jiba tells him annoyed by how dense her brother is, "Harry and Jemima's."

"No," Lily whispers horrified as she holds Harry close to her

     Baby Harry grabs onto his mothers hair in one of his tiny fists & the shoulder of her shirt with the other as he rests his chin on her shoulder. Baby Jemima, just looks around the room with a curiosity to her eyes before eyeing the strange woman holding her before grabbing her blond hair, & giving it a hard firm pull. The woman yelps at the suddenness of it-causing the little girl to giggle with delight...

"Dadada," the baby girl calls out as her little hands reach out for him, "dadada, dadada, dadada!" She starts hollering as she suddenly struggles to get away from the strange woman that is her aunt, "DADADA!"

"I should go anyways," Jiba says as she passes the girl off to her brother

"Jiba no," Lily tells her, "don't go-"

"I have to," she replies as she stands, "I have to tell the girls..." she zones out for a moment as her hand suddenly clasps to her head, "mmm-"

"Jiba?" James asks as the woman groans out
