Grindelwald walked slowly towards the room where the one who could kill him and his heir was. He flicked his wand and the door slammed open and a woman with fiery red hair and glowing green eyes stared in horror. But her face was defiant and she clutched the baby in her arms closer to her body.

"Leave us alone!" Lily Potter demanded. She placed the baby in the crib and she turned around with her wand out. Grindelwald watched in mild surprise.

"Give me the child and I may spare you" Grindelwald prompted. Lily shook her head and bit her lip.

"Please...not Bella. Not Bella!" begged Lily. Grindelwald raised one eyebrow. So, the child was a girl. That had not been told to him. No matter...

"Stand aside you silly girl!" he commanded. Lily shook her head and her lip trembled. She slid her wand back into her pocket. She knee she was fighting a losing battle.

"No…kill me instead. Not Bella!" Lily said, becoming hysterical. Grindelwald raised his wand to face her.

"She's a danger to all that I've worked for" Grindelwald said, carefully not saying that he had an Heir. His Heir could come out after all threats were eliminated. Like this child.

"She's a baby…she's my baby. Please have mercy!" Lily sobbed. Grindelwald gave a laugh. It was short and dry before he shook his head.

"Avada Kedavra!" Grindelwald commanded. The inevitable green light sped to the Potter woman. She fell to the ground, dead. Grindelwald walked over her and went to the child. The baby was smiling, toothlessly.

She was a pretty thing. She had loose black hair that fell to her shoulders gracefully. And her eyes…they were too aware for a child her age. And they were the same apple green eyes as her mother.

"Goodbye child" Grindelwald said, in an ancient voice. The baby stood at his words and gripped the railing of the crib and lifted her head to look him straight in the eyes. The baby closed her eyes and smiled.

Grindelwald watched in sick fascination. The child knew she was to die. Somehow…

"Avada Kedavra."

And suddenly Grindelwald broke. And he was nothing more but…dust in the wind.

And a lightening bolt scar shone on the head of the girl standing there.

Poppy Pomfrey cradled the child in her arms. The child was crying for her mother and she couldn't give her to her. Bella Potter snuggled closer to Poppy as she cried and cried and cried.
"Don't cry, child" urged Poppy but it seemed to make the Potter child cry even more. Bella sat up and wailed.

"Pafoot!" she wailed. Poppy frowned, not understanding. Suddenly, the Hospital Wing doors slammed open and a man stood there, his long black shoulder length hair at his shoulder. His grey eyes held so much pain but they slightly lit up when they settled on the girl in his arms. Another man stood with him but stood to the side.
