Fate

Death Of The Potters

It was 1981, news had escaped from the Minstry about the abuse towards muggles and muggle-born, the Minstry tried hard to shrug it off as fake news but it was already to late.
Tom riddle was in his home with Lily and James Potter.

"How could you let them do this? Lily your parents are muggles? You are muggle born yet you work with them to help bring down wizards and witches just like you? And you James, how could you let them treat people like that? What if it was your wife or child??"

They both looked down.
"They have promised us a better life Tom, with Harry, so he could grow up happy." whispered Lily somewhat abashed.
"Happy? What about the children they are experimenting on!?"
"Enough Tom, I'm done with this conversation." stated James coldly.

"So am I, I'm sorry, I tried to reason with you, I have tried so hard to make you see the error of your ways.
I've started a revolution James and it will be a better place for all of our children but unfortunately you'll never be able to see it."

In a split second James was across the room.
"Avada Kedavra"
"Nooooo!" Lily screamed and ran over to him, "How could you do this Tom, he was your friend!"
"I'm sorry Lily it's for the best, to many live's are at stake, if it got back to the minstry that a revolution was starting... It could only mean one thing"
Lily looked to the left and realised she had left Harry alone near Tom. He quickly realised what she was looking at, she reached Harry and picked him up.
"I'm sorry Lily, I truly am"
"Please Tom, you don't have to do this, let us live, please save the boy."
He looked away,
"Avada Kedavra"
Lily's body dropped to the floor as he grabbed Harry from her.
" It's a shame you will never know them dear child, they used to be good people but they became corrupted by greed".
"Avada Kedavra"
But the spell bounced back from Harry onto Tom leaving him paralized as he dropped harry onto the floor. Sophia came rushing in and seen what had happened.

She ran over to Tom and started with spells that reverse the damage caused, he didn't get the full effect of the curse, but he just needed a bit of help to get back to normal.
"You're going to be off your feet and unable to do much for a few days, maybe it will give you time to sort your head out!"
Once she had finished she picked up harry and noticed his scar.
"How could you do that to a child!"
She soothed him and cuddled him.
"It's okay little one, I'll take you somewhere safe I promise. I'm so sorry it had to be this way."
She went to Lily and took of her necklace it had a photo of Harry and his parents in, Sophia then clipped it around Harry's neck and carried him off to Lucy's room and placed him next to her, both children sleeping soundly" You'll be great friends one day" she smiled sadly and went off to Tom.

Sophia helped Tom onto the couch, swearing under her breathe, she knew he was a bad guy but she couldn't help but love him.
Tom called in Lucius malfoy as they transported both bodies and the child back to the house trashing the place so someone would trigger the authorities.

As they was leaving threw the floo tunnels, the minstry caught the sight of Tom heads therefore making him a suspect in the investigation, months went by both Lucius and Sophia vouched for Tom. The minstry was on to them but couldn't arrest him due to lack of evidence.

He got away with murder, Tom was filled with guilt, for months on end he had nightmares about there deaths and he grieved them fully, Sophia never truly trusted him again, she knew why he did it but she knew there could of been another way.

Harry was placed into his aunties custody, Sophia offered to raise him but they refused due to Tom being a possible killer.
A few months later Sophia left with Lucy they were threatening to take her away, she left to her parents and that's when Tom started to create the horcruxes to save himself for when he needed it.

When Lucy was three Sophia came home, Tom was a changed man but Sophia loved him dearly and she wanted Lucy to have her father.
She grew and grew into a strong, beautiful and clever young women.
A treasure and loved by all Lucy was just like her mother, yet she had pitch black hair and emerald green eyes just like her father.

On the 21st of May 1994, three months after Lucy's 13th birthday, was the unfortune events of sophias death, Harry Potter had moved in next door a few days before and Sophia had decided to bake a cake for them, she was happy that finally Lucy and Harry could come friends like they was suppose to all them years ago.

She heard a soft knock on the door, she opened up and seen Harry with a box of chocolates, she was stunned about how much he looked just James, but of course he had lily's bright blue eyes. They would be so proud she spoke to herself.
As she was handed to chocolates and gave her farewells she went into the kitchen and took one out as she finshed icing the cake. The potions kicked in quickly and before she could shout for Tom she was down on the floor.

Lucy went running in and was shouting for her dad, he came in and carried her to bed, tears clouding his vision. She was to good to die, she kept him whole.
As her last words slipped out, Lucy crumbled into her fathers arms. Her cries were a sound a father never wanted to hear. She had died.
