The sound of laughing muggle children could be heard as the figure made his way through Godric's Hollow.
"Nice costume, mister!" Said a muggle boy, no older than eight, to the figure as he ran off to his friends. The figure smirked, then grimaced as his head aches.
Filthy muggle! He will die along with the Potters! Hissed the corrupting voice in his head.
Leave me be, Parasite! Tom shouted in his head.  The voice just laughed and Tom, reluctantly, made his way to the Potter household. He saw through the window into the living room and sighed sadly at the sight.
There was James Potter, his black hair resembling a bird's nest, playing with one of his children. And there was Lily Potter nee Evans, her fiery red hair in a loose plait, cradling the other child. Both children were boys and seeing the family happy and carefree gave Tom a look of sadness.
I am so sorry. But this is not my choice.
And it never will be, Riddle.
Tom winced as Voldemort spoke to him, as the "parasite" continued: I will now take control and YOU will watch. As I kill every. Last. One of those FILTH!
And before Tom could stop him, he was trapped in his own mind, watching Voldemort enter the property.
James noticed the wards being disturbed and, with horror, saw the intruder.
"Lily! It's him! Take the boys and run!" He cried, as Voldemort blasted open the front door. Lily gathered up the twins, who had now started whimpering, and ran upstairs. James quickly searched for his, which he then realized that he left it in the kitchen, and watched in horror as Voldemort came into the room, his eyes slit and red, inhumanly pale skin and long, menacing dark brown-nearly black- hair.
Lily was in the twins' bedroom, softly trying to comfort them.
"Ssh... ssh... Mummy's here. Mummy loves you both. Harry, look after your brother. Take care of him."
A flash of green was reflected in the background and Lily knew that her husband was gone. She gave a sob and heard creaks coming up the stairs she placed both of the twins into the twin crib, still trying to comfort them.
"Moses, Harry. I love you both. Mummy loves you, look after each other."
The door behind her was blasted open and immediately, Lily turned to the Dark Lord as he entered. She stood in a protective stance, as if to shield the twins.
"Not my children! Not Harry! Not Moses!" She cried.
"Stand aside, mudblood. You need not die today." Hissed Lord Voldemort, his yew wand out, a bored look on his face.
"Please?! Spare the boys! Take me instead!" Tears we're now streaming down Lily's face even more.
"Stand aside, silly girl. And you will be spared." Lord Voldemort hissed with impatience.
"Take me instead. Just spare Harry and Moses. Spare my boys." Lily was whispering now, tears still streaming down her face.
"This is your last warning. Move aside." The words were gritted out. Lily turned her head to look at her boys, possibly for the last time. They both inherited James' messy black hair and her eyes. Although Moses' eyes had hints if turquoise in them. She gave a small, teary smile and turned to look back to Voldemort.
"Take me instead." Her eyes were full of love, tears slowly drying up. Voldemort sighed.
"Very well then... I'm so sorry...!!!... Avada Kedava!" Lily's body slumped to the floor. Voldemort-no-Tom gripped his head in pain.
"Get out of my head!!" He cried.
We both know that I can't. And I WON'T!!
Voldemort then took control of Tom's body again, but Tom looked at the two tearful boys in the crib. Small tears streamed down Tom's face as he realizes the innocent lives that he-no- Voldemort will be taking.
Voldemort controlled his wand arm, his hand clutching his yew wand.
Don't worry, my dear Riddle. It will be quick and painless. For them that is. Hahahahahaa...
Tom's breathing shuddered with guilt and sadness, as he pointed the wand at the two children.
"I... I'm sorry...!!! Avada Kedava."
The green beam of light hit both of the children. However, Voldemort and Tom saw the protective shield that surrounded the twins and the curse rebounded. The curse hit Tom square in the chest, causing Tom to scream in pain. However, he didn't die. He was now leaning against the wall, watching the black, parasitical smoke leave his body, which was screaming in agony, as it left the room. Tom finally caught his breath.
"I'm free." He grinned, maniacally. "I'm free..!!!" He then started to laugh, until he heard the crying of the two boys in the crib. Realizing what he had done, he rushed to the boys, checking for injuries.
Sure enough, there were identical lightning bolt cuts on their foreheads, although, the only on the left, Harry, had a smaller one than his twin. Tom sighed in relief and turned to go...
"Tommy!"
Tom froze. And turned around to look at the twins. Harry was still crying, his cut bleeding. But the other boy, Moses, was looking straight at him, tears in his eyes, reaching for him.
"Tommy!" Tom saw the eyes of an old friend. A brief image flashed in his mind of a young boy. Dirty blonde messy hair, milky tanned skin with some freckles and turquoise green eyes.
"It can't be..."whispered Tom, hoarsely. He walked up to the child and picked him up. Moses giggles, tears starting to dry up and snuggled into Tom's chest, as Tom cradled him.
Suddenly, Tom heard the familiar popping sound of someone apparating just outside the wards.
Shit!! I need to get out of here! Thought Tom and was about leave the room, with Moses in his arms, but turned towards the oldest twin, who had stopped crying and was now looking at Tom and Moses.
"M-Mossy...!!" Whimpered Harry, holding his arms out for my twin. Tom sighed, sadly.
"I'll come back for you, little one. I promise." He whispered and ran out of the room, Moses in his arms and Harry crying out "Mossy!" as he did. He found a window that led into the back garden. He blasted it open and as he climbed out of it, he heard a shout of "JAMES!!" And leapt out of the window, Moses giving out a cry of glee, just as Sirius Black came up the stairs.
Leaving Harry at Albus Dumbledore's mercy...
