The wrong boy who lived

Chapter One

It was 31 July 1980, and Lillian Rose potter nee Evans was going into labour. When she and her husband James Charles Potter found out that she was not only carrying one child but two, their lives couldn't get any better. So, at 11:00 pm on that night, a boy with small blue eyes and a round face was born. The parents later named him Charles Evan Potter or Charlie, and at 12:00 am sharp a boy with big green eyes and a small face was born into the world. His parents named the smaller boy Harry James Potter.

As time grew on the couple and their kids lived a happy life until they found out about a prophecy that said either one of their kids or the kid of their closest friends the Longbottom's were destined to defeat the dark lord. After finding out this shocking news both families went into hiding and that is where we find ourselves now, into the home of Lilly and James potter playing with their kids before they are put down for bedtime.

Though they were twins with when they were born, the Potter children were very different from each other. The oldest Charlie was a very active kid, he was always playing around and loved to get attention. When the attention was off him and instead on his brother, he would get so mad and start a tantrum until he got what he wanted. Harry though, was a very quiet and small child, his eyes shone with wonder and he was someone who would love to just sit down and read a book. Then appearance-wise, Charlie was a kid that was slightly overweight and still had very much baby fat. He had untamable orange/red hair that was plain compared to Lilly's and his small blue eyes needed glasses. Harry had slightly tamable raven hair and like his brother, he needed glasses that made his eyes just glow more. While Lilly's eyes were bright Harry's were practically glowing. Unlike his brother Harry was a small boy for his age, he had already outgrown his baby fat and was what every pureblood wanted a son to be.

Just then the door to the house was blown apart and through the smoke step a figure, to put it plainly, he had snake-like features, but that was all a glamour because the man felt like it made people fear him more. The man's name was Tom Riddel or more commonly known as Lord Voldemort. Before James could even throw a spell at him, Tom stupefied him and walked to where he saw Lilly run to. When he came across a room labelled as the twins' room, he instantly knew they were in there. Stepping inside he was met with the sight of the mother trying to portkey out of the house with her two and a half-year-old sons, and so taking the opportunity, Voldemort stupefied the girl and began walking calmly over to the crib containing the two children.

As he looked over the two children, he easily knew it wasn't the oldest one Charlie because A) the kid was balling his eyes out and B) because feeling his magic and it was average. Turning to the other boy he stopped dead in his tracks. The child was looking at him in a curious way and when the Dark lord checked the kids' magic core, he felt the magic flood out of him like a tsunami. For some reason the dark lord found himself talking to the boy, "you are powerful child, even more, powerful than me or Dumbledore, I would keep you alive if I knew you would join me but with who your family is I believe that would never happen." And with that, he pointed his wand at the kid and in a sad voice voiced the incarnation that would no doubt kill the child.

What he was expecting is the boy to smile a kind smile and as the spell hit him to rebound back to the sender with such speed that the Dark Lord couldn't dodge in time. As the spell hit the Dark Lord the room around them began to shake and a piece of drywall broke of hitting Charlie on the cheek creating a cut from below his eye to the top of his lip. While the curse made a lighting shaped scar appear on Harry's forehead as little harry decided to take a little nap, not knowing that, that would be the last time he took a nap in the house with his family ever again.
