the begining
“Just one more big push, lady Potter.” Said the nurse from her spot
“I assure you I am trying” She snarked back. With one more big push. Anemone Hadrien Potter Was brought into this world at 11:58. PM on July 31st. And a mere minute later her brother henry larkspur potter came into this world screaming.
“it's a boy and a girl,”said the nurse. lily felt relief wash over her Her two kids were brought into this world. “You can come in now,” said the nurse to James Potter Who had been pacing outside of the room Anxious to see the new arrivals.
“What are their names?” Asked James. “Anemone Hadrien Potter. The oldest. And Henry Larkspur Potter after your great grandfather.” “It's perfect. They're perfect. You’re perfect,” said James. The next few hours were a blur. The baby's got all their shots. And within the day. Lily had a potion Regime To stick to. And two godparent slots to fill out.
“Siri Do you promise? To uphold your duty. As my child's godfather, Henry Larkspur Potter.” Said James.
“I do” replied sirius black
“And do you Regulus Promise to uphold your duty as my child's godfather. Anemon Hadrien Potter.”Said Lily.
“I do.” Said Regulus.
“And With that, all the paperwork is filled out.” Said Lily, relieved.
And just like that, their family was complete. And for a moment, everything was perfect. But then that moment ended.
Originally they had decided to stay at Potter Manor, but. At the urging of Albus Dumbledore, they chose to go to Godric's Hollow. They lived in a small little cottage under a fieldus charm with Peter Pettigrew as their secret keeper. And for a year. Everything was OK. Even as the war raged on outside and got worse and worse, they had their own little bubble. That nothing could break. Until it broke.
On Halloween night. Voldemort burst into their Cottage.
“Go run!” Shouted James Potter from downstairs. “The port key will take you to the safe House Go. I'll buy you some time.”
Lily rushed up the stairs into the Nursery and grabbed hold of the twins. She grabbed hold of the baby blanket And said the port key activation. But nothing occurred. She just stood there in a room holding a baby blanket and her babies. She knew then. She was going to die here. And her babies were not going to live. She was going to make them live. She swore it. So she began to do a ritual her and James had started. Weeks in advance in the fear this very thing would happen. She called the house elf coriander, The house elf was A very, very old elf. That had been serving the Potters for generations. They knew he didn't have much time left. So when they had thought of this ritual, they had asked if he would be a part of it or if he wanted to be peacefully buried. He had laughed in their faces and said. “Of course, I want to continue to serve the one household that has cared.” “Coriander, can we Get out.” “No, Lady Potter. Houselves can get in, but they cannot get out again. No magic can get out of the house. Not until The spellcaster chooses to let the ward down.” Lily choked on her sobs. “Then we will do what we agreed upon.” She choked out through tears. “Do you coriander? Give up the rest of your life, your dignity, your grace. Your very magic to save the Potter line.” lily said as steadily as she could manage.” “I do.” Replied Coriander. “If that is what it takes, if my life, my dignity, my grace, my very magic to save the line of those who care, I shall do it.” “Then with this blade. I shall make you whole.” Lily pulled out a beautiful butterfly knife. On it were etchings of runes. In a language long since forgotten the time. She plunged the knife through his heart. And with it, the ritual was complete. Her babies would live. Even if it meant she died.
Just then, Voldemort burst through the door.
“Stand aside, silly girl. And no harm will come of you.”
“I will not let you hurt my babies. I will not let you hurt my babies. Take me instead, but I will not let you hurt them.”
“I promised. To not kill you. And Voldemort is nothing if not benevolent. And kind. Expelliarmus.” The blast flung Lily. She dropped her two babies. She hit her head on the. Crib. And in her dying moments. She looked at her children. She loved them with all her heart. And with that. She shut her eyes. Unable to keep them open.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Voldemort pitied the girl. She had Defended her children to the very end, which was noble and honorable, especially for nothing more Then a mud blood. He stared at the children she had dropped. The first one looked. Well. Plane he had simple red hair that was Very muted in color, his brown eyes crying. He didn't have a whole lot of magic either, Barely above average for A child of that age. He then turned to the other baby. she had inky black hair and a vada cadavra. Green eyes. Her magic was well above that of a baby of her age. This one would grow into a threat. The other one he'd be lucky if he passed his newts “I am sorry. But it must be done. Lord Voldemort must live to bring change. No one else is going to. No one else is going to care. And what does it matter? You're the daughter of a mud blood. And a Disgraced Lord. Goodbye child.” He raised his wand. “avada cadavra.”
but something odd happened. Voldemort's Magic bounced It came streaming back at him faster than he could react and. In a moment. Voldemort was dead.
However. The explosion caused a lot of collateral. As the roof began to cave in. An unfortunate beam cut Henry's Chest. A rough, jagged V Stood stark against His skin directly over his heart.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ann Knew the man standing above her was a bad man., He was going to hurt her. So. Her Magic did the only thing it knew. It protected her. Fueled with the sacrifice of the house elf. Her magic formed a barrier, a protective Shield. When the Killing Curse hit it. It instead bounced off the shield. The Shields shattered, thus causing an explosion. But. The Killing Curse did not hit. Instead, her own shield hit her in the face. Just at the hairline. Leaving behind a tiny. Lightning bolt shaped scar. A scar that could easily be covered up. His magic was exhausted. He was exhausted. And she knew she wasn't going to stay awake for much longer. He could hear footsteps in the lower floors of the house. she knew she was safe, so it was good to sleep now. And with that, she drifted off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sirius The moment the Charm had failed. He immediately flew called Albus Dumbledore.
Albus had have been having a good day. It was a good Halloween. All the kids were happy and had caused no trouble. For once, it felt like the war hadn't touched them. Not in the safety and sanctity of Hogwarts. Then, as everyone was settling for bed, he got an emergency floo call. He had thought maybe it was just the minister wanting to call him. Instead, he got a very distraught sirius. He knew then. The wards had fallen, and in a matter of minutes he was standing in front of Godric's Hollow. And then the cottage that the Potters had called home for the past year. He rushed Into the house to see James lying there, not dead, but unconscious. He renervated him but quickly rushed up to the nursery. And what he found? Lily was lying unconscious, bleeding from a head wound, and the two babies were alive, crying at the top of their lungs, but alive. And a pile of black robes Falling almost on top of Henry. Using the elder wand, he quickly scanned all signs of magic in The nursery. He could find no traces of apparition or any escape, although there was a house elf that had popped in but had most likely suffered and died To try and buy them some more time. He knew Lily needed to go directly to Saint Muggos as it was not advised to Revive someone if they had a head wound. But in his scan he found something so. So sad. Even to someone as old and Withered as he is. ann didn't have enough magic. she was a Squibb. Slowly, the events of the night seemed pieced together for him. Most likely Voldemort had. Burst in, knocked out. James and Lily had attempted to escape with the children. But instead. She had failed and been knocked out. It seems as though Voldemort had decided Henry was most likely the one who was born to defeat him, as he was in fact born closer to The death of the 7th month as well as being the heir. And most likely His sister in an act of love had given him as much magic as she possibly could to shield him from whatever was going to happen. Combining that with his magic and. His older sisters magic. It would create a perfect shield that potentially would rebound the killing curse. Henry was the boy who lived. And he would be the one who the prophecy Had spoke of.
Let's get them to the Saint Muggos Hospital quickly.
The babies were rushed there and a quick evaluation done. It had truly revealed. Ann was a squib. And Henry had a jagged V shaped cut directly over his heart. Quickly, the rumors of the Boy Who Lived spread. Voldemort's followers fled into the night and it seemed as though the war was over. But there were still some things needing to be addressed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What do you mean give her away?! -L
Lils. -J
No, no, no, don't you lils me. You are asking me to give up one of my children! How can you ask such a thing so shortly after the event? I almost lost them, both of them. How dare you? How dare you say I have to give them away? -L
“Lily. I understand. It's difficult to even think of leaving behind your child. But. ann will never be able to do magic. she'll never be able to thrive in the magical world. she'll be looked down on constantly simply because she doesn't have any magic. I don't believe it's fair to her to force him to stay in a world where she can see these amazing feats. But be unable to participate in any of them. Instead, she will grow up bitter and resentful because she can't do anything. she'll constantly be compared to her brother. And he will have people go after her because she is the sister to the boy who lived. They will go after her to hurt you And she will be completely defenseless to any of their attacks. she will be a sitting duck in the magical world.” said albus
But I can't give her up. I can't. Not so soon.-L
And we're not asking you to give her up forever. Merely until she's old enough to actually fight back. As it stands, she's a child. sHe deserves to be in a world that will not criticize her or hurt her for Not having magic or for being your child. I do not wish to deprive ann of a chance to grow up and have a normal childhood.-A
she can have a normal childhood here.-L
she'll have a lonely, sad, depressing childhood. One where she feels abandoned by the magical world.-A
Lilly collapsed To the floor. Clutching her hair. She chants. I can't give her up.
We're not asking you to make this decision immediately. Said James, putting his hand on her shoulder.
But we want you to think of ann. she won't be able to have a good life here. I do not want to deprive her of a chance. she could have a better life, a better everything. sHe won't have to be jealous, and when she's old enough to understand, we can go ahead and we can reconnect with her. We can be a family again once she's old enough to defend himself and she's old enough to understand why we did it.-J
she'll be all alone.-L
No, she won't. Your sister. You said you were getting on better terms with her, right?-J
Yeah, we've been exchanging letters.-L
She even has a kid of her own, doesn't she?-J
She does, dudley dursley-L
If we give her to your sister she will have a chance to grow up normal. Happy. Safe.-J
Do not feel pressured to make this decision quickly. This is a huge decision, especially for a new mother. We only wish for you to consider ann and Henry.-A
Is it OK if I think of it for a bit?-L
Of course.-J
This is far from a decision made lightly. Of course. You can have all the time you would like.-A
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next few weeks were rough. Lily tried her best to coax magic out of ann but Nothing worked. Henry was performing magic and accidental feets almost all the time, summoning bottles or toys, floating things And just overall experiencing accidental magic. But not ann. ann hadn't done a single feat of accidental magic. James and Lily loved both of their kids and played with them equally and tried to get them to interact and be happy. But. Nothing was working.
They were now living in Potter Manor. The wards there were very good. But. Not perfect. So. On December 25th, Christmas Day. Lily and James went out and left the kids with a babysitter. They had to run and get some additional presents. And unfortunately. Sirius was busy, but Regulus wasn't. So regulus agreed to watch the kids, Not two hours after they left. The house was attacked. 3 Death Eaters attacked the House. Regulus tried his best to defend The children. But he died in the attack. Lily and James came rushing back along with the Order of the Phoenix and quickly dispatched the three. But the damage had been done. Regulus was dead And they had almost killed ann. They had arrived to the guy pointing a wand over ann. They knew then that she couldn't stay in the magical world. she could perform no magic to save herself In case of attack. So with a heavy heart, Lily decided it was best to put her with her sister.
They had been sending letters, after all, and it seemed their relationship was improving. She told her a lot of her life. Like being married to someone named Vernon. Her son. Dudley. And their house on #4 private drive. The way she described her life was picket fence perfect. Everything was perfect. If they give ann to them, she'll be able to live a perfect, normal, magicless life without ever having to worry So Lily decided to negotiate with Albus.
I can assure you, Lily. I will set up blood wards around the place that will give ultimate protection. -A
They will.-L
Of course they will. Although unfortunately we will need to leave her there. In a Wicker basket.-A
What?-J+L
Unfortunately, The textbook that I have found this ritual from requires you to leave the child in a Wicker basket as a symbol of you leaving them behind. Of gifting them to someone else of your own blood. And when they accept the Wicker basket and bring it inside, the wards will activate. If we just handed her the Wicker basket and she said anything or didn't bring him inside immediately. There's a very high chance that the ritual will not work. After all, ritualistic magic is very precise. -A
So we won't even be able to say goodbye.-L
Of course you can say goodbye. You'll have all day to say goodbye. When do you want to drop her off?-A
How long will it take? For The ritual to be set up.-L
The ritual itself will take about a day.-A
OK. We'll wait until after regulus's funeral. Then we'll give her to my sister.-L
You're doing the right thing, Lily.-A
As soon as Albus left, Lily broke down in tears once again. James joined them mourning the child they will never get to know as they grow up for the safety of their life.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Regulus’s Funeral wasn't a very Large event. Rather, instead, it was a small, quaint and quiet funeral with only the closest there. When they arrived. Marlene McKinnon. Lily's closest friend. Noticed the lack of ann with them. So she asked, where's ann?
Lily burst into tears once again. James patted her back and comforted her and gave the story that they had decided To use as a cover up.,
she sustained....she sustained wounds in the attack. We rushed her to Saint Muggo's. But. They said she probably wasn't going to make it. And that it would be better for us to go ahead and get an at home nurse to care for her for the next few days. Until she you know. Her little immune system isn't very strong and she unfortunately caught dragon pox. That's what's making it so dangerous and deadly. If it was just the wounds or just the dragon pox she might have pulled through, but. With her being a squib. And her Having those wounds. They don't believe she'll make it. We don't want to expose her to anyone else because anything else could.... Anything else could just take heraway from us. That much sooner.-J
I'm so sorry.-M
`````````````````
Lily placed ann into the Wicker basket. She knew this would be the last time she would See her for a long time. She set the letter in the Wicker basket. And handed it over to Albus. She burst into tears once again and fled to her room. She saw Henry there and decided to dote on him. He would never remember his sister. And that sent her into her new, fresh wave of tears.
James stood there, watching where Lily had run off. He turned to albus
“she'll be OK, right?”-J
she will be fine, James. she'll thrive in the Muggle world. Her and Dudley will be like siblings.-A
OK. Said James harshly. A whisper. Goodbye, ann. We'll see you again one day.-J
It's not really goodbye merely. a see you later.-A
And with that, albus operated out of their house and left James to go comfort his crying wife.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Albus stared at little ann. she was so small and quiet.
I'm sorry, little one. But your sacrifice will not be in vain. The magic you have given up Will save the wizarding world. Your brother will give up his life at the end. And it will save us all. I know he has made him into a Horcrux. After all, the soul would latch with the most compatible. And you are not compatible. After all, you have no magic. But. That doesn't mean you can't be useful. I need him to fight for the light. What better way to do it than to have him have someone to fight for? You little Ann, We'll show him that the Wizarding world needs to Go into the future, get better. Do away with the old ways because. If they hadn't. If they wouldn't have judged you so quickly for being a Squibb. Then you wouldn't have ended up in this abusive home. I know I am sentencing you to something so horrible. I know that you're Trials and your Tribulations,Have only begun. But your sacrifice will lay the foundations for the future of the wizarding world. One that is clean and pure. And light. Goodbye, little Ann We will return. Even if we may be too late for you. It will not be too late for the wizarding world.
and with that he began the rituals, some to bind her blood, some to track her, and some to ensure she remained subservient.

Insert the drop off scene but instead with motgonigal saying the wizarding world will know her families name And Hagrid coming as emotional support. Not actually driving her.
