Years ago on Halloween, more so October 31 1981 a house was attacked while the parents were away. The babysitter while hearing the noise put all the babies in one crib to protect them easier the intruder killed her. She was a Squib after all 

The intruder more known as Voldemort or The Dark Lord turned to the babies
2 of which were supposed to be  his down fall. He scoffed at the wailing boy he also scoffed at the fact that a widely respected person thought the prophecy to be about one of the babies, before letting his magic reach put and find out which 2 to kill.

When he let his magic reach out to the girl he nearly fell back such a powerful girl. He noted to kill her.

He turned to the next baby a boy next to the girl he noted that those two looked like twins while the other boy looked like a family friend. He reached his magic out and again almost fell back . Such powerful babies.

He turned to the last boy and reached his magic out then sighed in relief,  this one hardly had enough magic to levitate an object.

He turned back to the powerful ones smile a bit then said the words that he didn't know would be his first downfall

"Avada Kedavra"

He watched as the spell headed towards the girl he watched in confusion as it hit a shield leaving a scar then he watched as it hit a shield around the boy leaving a scar then he watched as the spell headed straight towards him effectively killing him .

As he was hit the nursery fell apart a piece of wood fell and hit the red headed boy leaving a small 'v' on his cheek, that causing the boy to wail harder.

The ones that were hit had their hands on their own bleeding scars they each had identical lighting Bolt Scars on the left side of their forehead but its placement was funny, their hair was long enough to cover it, they both fell asleep curled up next to each other as their magic began healing them and fighting the soul that wasn't theirs back into a small spot behind the scars.

That's how their parents found them. 2 sleeping children curled up next to each other and one wailing child with a bleeding cheek with a carving of a small 'v'.

Soon after they got there a respected man arrived he ran his eyes over the sleeping children before setting his eyes on the wide awake wailing child with the bleeding 'v' in his cheek. He picked the child and held him up a bit

"Behold our savior, Charles Fleamont Potter" he said giving the child to his parents and leaving but not before saying

"You might want to find somewhere for the other children as we wouldn't want them getting jealous and striking out on poor Charles" then he left.

The parents still spooked, agreed the mother started packing a bag for them while the father put the still awake boy back to sleep in his own crib, then changed the sleeping kids into more appropriate traveling clothing before handing them to his wife and watching them leave.

Part 2 will be up soon
