The Emerald Twins

Prologue

On the 10th of October, lily and James Potter were blessed with a beautiful set of twin boys.

The first born, was named Harry James Potter. Harry had messy black hair, with dark green eyes, and his mothers tanned skin.

The second twin, was named Charles Orion Potter. Charles had dark, red messy hair, dark green eyes, and had his fathers creamy skin.

On the night of Halloween, James and Lily Potter went out for a dinner date, leaving the twins with a magical babysitter.

Little did they know, that something life changing was going to take place on that fateful night of Halloween.

Voldemort had an idea so dark, it was a sinister thought, something that should never be done.

He decided to make a living Hocrux. And what better day to make it, then on Halloween.

A dark figure stood outside the gate of a small cottage. His thin, pale fingers slipped out of his cloak, only to knock on the door.

"Hello?" A young lady greeted, opening the door to the Potter house. A look of horror crossed her face as she identified the older wizard. Before she could say anything, an ebony colored wand came into view, followed by the darkest curse knowing to existence.

Red eyes roamed the room, his eyebrows narrowed slightly at the lack of children. He walked over the crumbled body, ears picking up the sound of giggling. He slowly made his way up the stairs, following the sound of laughter. He came to a stop in front of a cream colored door.

"Hawwo" Harry greeted with a giggle.

"Ice'cweem?" Charles asked, tilting his head to one side, wide green eyes staring at the former Slytherin.

Voldemort couldn't hold back his sneer. He held up his wand, and whispered. "Avada Kadavra" Sending the sickly green light towards the twins.

- Few Minutes Later -

"I had a wonderful night Mi'lady" James said, bowing low, hand held out towards her.

With a giggle, Lily took his out stretched hand. "Such a gentleman" She laughed, other hand coming up to cover the blush on her face.

"Surly, you wouldn't mind spending the night" He asked, wiggling his eyebrows.

"As long as my husband doesn't find out" She joked.

"I like the way you think!" He laughed, opening the door to their little cottage.

The first thing they saw upon entering, was the shocked, frozen face of The babysitter, Ellie Gardener.

"Oh my!" Lily gasped, eyes wide in horror.

"Dead" James said, checking the pulse of the babysitter.

"The Twins!" They gasped, both racing up the stairs, only to find a hole in the roof, and smoke coming from a pile of black robes. The parents ignored the mess, and made their way towards the cribs. "Harry!" Lily gasped, holding the crying baby to her chest.

"How is Charles" Lily asked, tears streaming down her face at the quite toddler. "He's okay, Just has a cut on his hand" James replied, rubbing his wife on the back.

- Seven Days Later - Age 2 -

"To Charles Potter! The-Boy-Who-Lived!" James yelled, holding Charles in the air.

"Good on ya James!" Sirius laughed, bringing the younger man into a headlock.

"Knock it off you two" Lily chided, putting Harry down on the ground. "Mama" Harry asked, holding his arms up.

"No Harry, Go play" Lily said, not even looking at the little boy. "Leg hurwts" Harry said, lips trembling. "Not now Harry" She said walking away from the injured child.

"You Owky?" Charles asked looking at Harry with Concern.

"M'Okay" Harry assured with a smile. "You go play" Harry told Charles, nodding towards the Child Pen.

"No" Charles said, crossing his arms with a huff and sitting on his bottom. "You hurwt, I stay" The redhead said nodding to himself. Harry looked like he wanted to say more, but decided against it. So he smiled, and spent his 2nd birthday sitting next to his little brother.
