Harry and Eloise Potter

Chapter One

   The day was slowly coming to an end. As it was Halloween, things were bright, scary, and cheerful. Including in the Potter house in Godric's Hollow, where two grandparents were watching over a set of twins that belonged to their son, James Potter. Booms happened around them causing the Grandparents to panic. The twins were grabbed and rushed upstairs by the Grandmother. She barricaded and door and held the babies to her chest.
   "I love you both." She whispered. There was a thump by the stairs that made the Grandmother realize that her husband was dead. She turned her head down to the twins, a tear falling down her wrinkled cheek. The door and the furniture blasted into pieces.
   "You will not hurt my grandbabies!!!" The Grandmother screamed at the man in front of her.
   "Step aside you useless woman." He growled out. She didn't listen.
   "You will not hurt them!!! You deserve to die you monster!!!!" She yelled, setting the babies quickly in the crib. The girl baby was looking at the man in curiosity, scared but silent, the boy wasn't crying, but he was whimpering, not knowing what was going on. There was a bright light and the grandmother slumped onto the ground, dead, eyes and mouth open. The boy shuffled closer to his sister and there it was again, the green light. Both babies were hit, but they didn't die. They felt pain instead. Both babies started screamed and crying at the searing pain. The boy had a scar in the shape of a lightning bolt, the girl had one in the shape of a V.
   "Dad..." the familiar voice of their father whispered down the hall.
   "Oh my god..." the mother whispered in horror. "The babies, James, the babies." Running was heard and a woman with fiery red hair and green eyes ran in first, a man with black, curly hair and hazel eyes straight behind her.
   "Mom..." the man teared up.
   "Oh James, I'm so sorry... I'm so sorry." The woman whispered, spinning around and hugging her husband close. The sound of their son whimpering got their attention.
   "Lily... Eloise, she's-" the woman swung back around, rushing toward her.
   "She's still breathing, James, she's ok. Shh Harry, mummy's here." The small baby boy was lifted into his mother's arms.
   "Those wounds... Lily, they have open wounds on them." James was panicking.
   "James, we'll take them to Saint Mungo's. Go get Dumbledore." The woman ordered.
   "Ok... ok." The man hadn't let it sink in yet that his parents were really gone.. and that hurt him more than anything. After sending a patronus to Dumbledore, James lifted his little girl into his arms. Her eyes fluttered open and when she saw her father, she started babbling, whimpering, and whining as well, reaching for her grandma.
   Tonight was the worst it was gonna be for a while.
