Dumbledore walked into the half destroyed house, James's body lay dead in the corridor. Lily was in Severus's arms as he held his one love.

He didn't notice the last body that lay in the cot. Harry Potter, killed by the killing curse, age 1 and a half.

Voldemort was gone, but he would return, and Harry was meant to be the one able to stop him. But Harry was dead.

Dumbledore looked back at Severus, who had yet to notice the dead child and made a choice, one that should have never be made.

He spoke an ancient language, and preformed a forbidden spell. And Harry started crying as he was ripped from the arms of death.

The true consequences of the action Dumbledore has made will not come to light for many, many years, but until they do, the Wizarding World rejoiced of their saviours victory.
