THE ATTACK

THIRD PERSON'S POV

The night air was cool and calm. Everywhere you turned you could hear the sound of children's laughter as they celebrated all hallows eve.

'Filthy muggles' thought the Dark Lord as he made his way to a house in the middle of the street. You see this house wasn't an ordinary house, for this house could not be seen by anyone.

This house was under the fidelius charm and belonged to the Potter family. But you see since the Potter's most trusted friend and secret keeper worked for him and gave him the address he was able to enter.

He knocked on the door and waited for the baby sitter which just so happened to be the traitor to the light side Peter Petegrew himself.

" The children are upstairs my lord" said Peter Petegrew in a disgusting high pitched voice. Voldemort didn't bother answering and made his way upstairs.

I bet you're probably wondering why the Dark Lord would come all the way to kill two filthy little half-bloods when he would normally send some low level death eaters to take care of something like this.

But you see this was a completely different mission. For one of these two children was prophesied to kill him. And since he couldn't risk them becoming older and possibly defeating him, he decided to do it when they can't even talk yet.

So Voldemort continued making his way up the stairs until he came to a red door with a gold lion on top. Knowing that this was probably the boys room he walked in.

Inside the room was two cribs, one gold and the other red. In the red crib was a chubby baby with straight red hair and normal mud brown eyes. At the head of the crib stood the name 'Jack'.

Sneering at the crying boy he turned to look at the other crib and instantly knew this was the boy. Inside the gold crib was a small boy who was standing inside his crib peering at the most evil Dark Lord with not fear but curiosity.

This boy was smaller then his twin and had a powerful aurora around him that would grow even more powerful than Merlin. He had emerald green eyes and messy black hair and had less baby fat then his brother. At the head of his crib stood the name 'Harry'.

'Merlin, he's powerful, he's definitely the one' thought the Dark Lord.

" If only you were a pure blood, I'd actually regret killing you" said the Dark Lord and cast the killing curse. But as the green light raced towards little Harry something extraordinary happened. He caught the curse in his hands and threw it back at the Dark Lord. He was to shocked to move and was hit squarely in the chest. He gave an inhuman scream as his soul was ripped from his body and rushed towards Harry's head and left a bloody scar shaped like a lightning bolt on his forehead.

Suddenly the whole house started shaking and Peter fled knowing something went wrong. A piece of the crib broke off and hit Jack on his cheek leaving a scar in the shape of a V.

When their parents and the order finally arrived at the area they found the whole house demolished. Lilly and James were the first ones to run to the house followed by Sirius and Remus then Dumbledore.

When they arrived at what use to be the twins room all they saw was rubble everywhere. They quickly started looking for the children and once they found them, they saw Jack bawling his eyes out and Harry sleeping soundly.

" Lilly, James I think it's better if you come with me to my office." Said Dumbledore.

They all apparated to the headmaster's office and sat down with Jack in James arms and Harry in Lilly's. Jack had finally calmed down and Harry had woken up when they had apparated to Hogwarts.

" I think it's finally time I told you the whole prophecy" said Dumbledore.

The one with the power to defeat the Dark Lord shall arrive
Born to the ones who thrice defied him
Born as the seventh month dies
He shall save the people along with three others
A girl as smart as the great Rowena Ravenclaw that shall love him forever
A boy more loyal than any other that will stand by his side as long as he shall live
And finally a girl as brave as a lion that will defend him whenever he may need it
These four shall save the people and rid the world of all Dark Lords
For only they can save the world and bring it peace

"So who are they" asked Lilly when it was over.

" I believe Jack is the chosen one and the other three are Helena Granger, Jasen Longbottom and Stella Lovegood." said Dumbledore looking at Jack while Lilly and James looked at Jack with pride.

"I'll call the Granger's, Longbottom's and Lovegood's." said Dumbledore and floo called them. When everyone arrived with their set of twins, Dumbledore quickly filled them in.

"So you're saying our children are the ones to defeat the Dark Lord." asked Emma Granger, a Muggle born looking amazed.

" Yes and they need training which they would be doing in Italy. Since you all have different talents in different areas, you will be going with them." said Dumbledore looking at each of them.

" So Pandora will be teaching them about the inner eye, Xeno you will be teaching them Care of Magical Creature, Emma you will be teaching Muggle studies, Dan will be teaching them history, Frank you will be teaching them Defence against the dark arts, Alice will be teaching herbology, Lilly you will be teaching charms and potions and finally James will be teaching transfiguration." said Dumbledore looking at them and receiving nods all around.

" There is a problem however" started Dumbledore " only you and the chosen ones can go, Harry, Hermione, Neville and Luna will have to stay"

"Okay I'm sure we can leave them with someone maybe Sirius and Remus" said James who didn't even look at the four children playing in the corner since everyone placed them there so they wouldn't be in the way while they doted on their chosen ones.

"Excellent, you all will be staying at the Dumbledore villa in Italy. The portkey will arrive early tomorrow morning so we will drop them off tomorrow" said Dumbledore and everyone left to go pack.

Meanwhile Harry, Hermione, Neville and Luna looked at each other. You see they all were incredibly smart for their age and had a photographic memory. They knew right then and there that their parents would abandoned them and leave them with Uncle Paddy and Uncle Moony since they don't know that they were the real children of the prophecy.

At that moment Harry's scar started to glow a glowing emerald colour behind the piece of hair which was hiding it from the adults view. Suddenly a beautiful blood red rose appeared under it making it look like the lightning bolt was striking it. The exact same mark appeared only in a beautiful lavander glow on Hermione's forehead in the same spot that Harry's scar was.

On Luna's forehead appeared a beautiful silver cresent moon around a yellow star which was glowing a blue hue. The exact same mark appeared on Neville's forehead except it was glowing a pale sunny yellow.

They looked at each other and nodded, laying down to make it look like their sleeping. They were special even if their parents didn't know it.

Hey guys so this is my new book and is a AU. So in this story Hermione's parents are both muggle borns and were in Ravenclaw. Luna's mother will not die seeing as she is busy with the 'chosen Ones'. So if you like the story be a dear and press on that yellow star at the bottom.

Peace💕
