chapter 1- Halloween 1981
It was a normal night that would change a family's life forever. If people listened closely, they could hear a happy family, they could have heard the squeals of joy of a little girl as her dad through her up in the air and caught her. They would have heard the babbling of a baby boy learning to talk. But they couldn’t because they were not a normal family, they were a wizarding family, called the Potters.
The potters were a family of four. James’s potter had grown up in the wizarding world his whole life as he was a pureblood. whereas his wife had only known of the wizarding world for 10 as she was a muggle-born. They had four kids together. The first Katie was 3 years old and was an accident but both James and Lilly adored her. She was the spitting image of her mum, but she had her dad’s eyes. She was very mischievous just like her dad, but she loved to read and would curl up at night with her mum while she read a story to her. There there was little Harry Potter who was just 14 months, Harry was the spitting image of James Potter but with his mum's bright green eyes. Harry had a temper just like his mum and was as mischievous as his dad.
One thing that all the Potter children had in common was that they were Wolfbloods. Wolfbloods are wizards that can turn into wolfs on the full moon whenever they let their emotions become too much. Must Wolfblood’s first turn after their eleventh birthday they would turn on the full moon. Unlike werewolves, Wolfbloods had control over their minds when they were in wolf form. There were many signs that someone was a Wolfblood, like when they are upset, angry, or about to change their eyes turn a golden colour and their veins turn black.
The night had started out like every other night. James and Lilly Potter were sitting in the living room watching g as the little girl ran around trying to catch the bubbles that her dad was conjuring out of his wand. it was getting late when Lily turned to her husband and told him that it was bedtime for little Harry. Like every night it was a struggle, not because the little boy didn’t want to go to bed but because James was not done playing with them. “Come on Lill's, 5 more minutes. They're having so much fun and it’s a holiday” James pleaded with his wife. Lily sighed “Fine 5 more minutes, but you have to put the over-tired baby to bed yourself”. Lily turned to her eldest. A little girl that looks exactly like her but with dad's eyes said “Come on sweetheart why don’t we go up for a bath and then we can read some stories together”. The little girl shook her head, her eyes turning a golden colour showing that she was not happy, “but mummy” She whined “Harry has to go to bed first because he is younger” James and Lilly laughed when Lilly notices something out of the corner of her eye. She signalled to James to check while she went straight to her children.
“It’s him” he choked out. He turned to his wife the love of his life who had scooped up her little boy. “Go I'll hold him off as long as I can just keep our kids safe”. He shouted as she ran up the stairs, Harry in her arms and their daughter in front of her. She put Harry in his crib and grabbed Katie's arm and dragged her to her room. Katie looked up at her mum with tears in her eyes and spoke. “Mummy I’m scared. What’s going on”. Lily turned around and crouched down to her daughter and spoke. “It's ok sweetheart, but you need to stay in your room, hide under your bed and stay quiet. No matter what you hear DO NOT LEAVE YOUR ROOM” Lilly stressed. Katie nodded and ran into her room and hid under her bed. Lilly ran into her baby boy's room where she saw the maniac kill her husband.
She slammed the door and started moving things to barricade the door. Her boy just looked at her. When she was done she crouched in front of the crib and whispered. “Mama loves you. Dada loves you. Be brave and be strong we love you so much”. Just as she finished a blast broke down the door and her barricade shattered and Harry started to cry. She stared at the man with fear in her eyes. Not for herself, but for her children. She stood strong and begged, “Please not my baby, please ill do anything but please don’t kill them”. The man just laughed and said, “Stand aside you stupid women. I have not come to kill you but your boy. I do not want to spill your blood, but I will”. Lilly looked him right in the eyes and shouted “I will never let you kill my baby”. “fine” he sneered “have it your way. AVADA KADAVRA”. Lilly let out a scream as the spell hit her. The man raised his wand at the small little boy who sat in his crib, crying for his mum. When the man said the spell that had killed his mum an explosion happened that destroyed part of the house but the two little kids both under the age of 5 survived but their lives had been changed forever.
