A/N: Hi everyone, this is my first installment of a three pronged ripple effect. Meaning I'm going to be writing three different fiction each resulting in a different house (leaving Gryffindor to canon) as a result for Harry in each hopefully novel series. So please read and review and let me know what you think of Harry Potter and the Call of the Badger Book I
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Lily's mind was going a thousand miles an hour. The dark lord was in her house, her home where she had been raising Harry for the past year, hidden from the eyes and ears of Lord Voldemort's death eaters... What had gone wrong, how did he find them? They had taken all of the necessary precautions, she wondered if Sirius had revealed that he wasn't the Potter's secret keeper. That's when it hit her... Peter he wouldn't have, James had sworn on his life that they would be safe.
Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a body being blown against the wall. James! She gingerly lowered Harry into his crib, knowing in her heart that this would be the last time she would lay eyes on her beautiful baby boy.
"Mommy loves you Harry" she whispered to him, her eyes filling with tears, "Mommy loves you, don't ever forget that."
Lily ran out into the hallway with her wand drawn, fully prepared to face the dark lord with her husband, she wouldn't let this... devil man, take her beautiful son. But when she crossed the doorway and looked towards the stairs to see her husband slumped against the wall on the floor, blood running from his arm heavily, her heart skipped a beat. James... her James, whom she had been in love with since her seventh year couldn't possibly be...
"He isn't dead..." she turned around to come face to face with the voice behind her... this was him... Merlin, she could feel the magic pulsing off of him, "He had traits I value my dear... value that filth like you couldn't understand. I'll just have Snape whip up a potion that will make him... susceptible to my charms and will join my ranks. Of course once I am done with you and your boy"
"You won't harm him" Lily said defiantly, positioning herself in the doorway, protecting her son from this monster, "And James will never join you, not in a million years. Only you would be crazy enough to think of something so dark and heartless"
"Stand aside mudblood, I will deal with you afterwards"
She raised her wand feebly, knowing she stood no chance without James, "Over my dead body"
"As you wish"
She closed her eyes, wanting her last thoughts to be of the family she would never be able to have anymore, "I love you Harry"
"Avada Kedavra!"
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
A/N: So if you might have been able to tell from the title, this novel will feature Harry as a lovable Badger in the Hufflepuff House. If this plot intrigues you feel free to check out the call of the Snake and the call of the Eagle on my author page. I plan to update these hopefully once a week and have all of the plots run parallel to each other and see what changes in each house.
