A/N: This is the updated Prologue since I have now noticed since people keep on saying so in the review that I got the dates mixed up for when James and Lily died so this is the updated version of that, sorry about that guys, thought I had updated it to the new date but hadn't so here we go. Here we are now.


Harry Potter and the Sudden Change of Life Itself

Prologue

October 31st 1981

The whole house was in ruins, nothing like anyone had ever seen before. The roof had been blown to smithereens, bits of wood lying here and there in the already unkempt grass, the black gate was bashed in on itself, hanging from one loose screw and the steps leading up to the house had slabs missing in places whilst the main door itself had been blasted off its hinges.

If anyone had been watching all day, they would have noticed how merely seconds before the house had been turned to ruins, the house itself hadn't even seemed to exist to anyone at all unless they knew that the house was actually there.

For you see, the house itself had been placed under a charm. The Fidelius Charm it had been called and until He arrived, the charm had continued to work, allowing the family inside to live a much normal life. Well as normal as you could be with a seemingly invisible house with this sort of house.

For this was not any house, oh no, this house hadn't just been blown apart for the sake of it or by someone who had nothing better to do. This house was the home of a loving family, a father, a mother and a small baby boy, the Potters.

The Potters had lived in that house for as long as anyone could remember until suddenly the house vanished and along with it went all mention of the family living inside, if asked even the neighbours would stop, scratch at the chins or just simply shake their heads in disbelief. There was definitely no family there, never had been and never would be, it was almost as if the family had been wiped from people's memories like someone washing down a blackboard at the end of a school day or one washing their face in the morning to rid themselves of the memories from the day before but nevertheless, no-one could have said anything about that one small house in the corner next to the alley.

Then the next thing anyone knew, suddenly it had all came back in a flash one day on a warm July's night, the house, people's memories and the Potter family.

It was like a flash of green light, some would say as they were putting out their milk bottles for the night, whilst others would whisper a few foreign words under their breath ones of which people had never heard before and would be none willing to repeat in a crowded room much less a quiet room.

The words in question some would mention retained to a much worse charm, in-fact it wasn't really a charm, much more a curse... The Killing Curse as it was known by most people trying to play it dumb or too scared to repeat the words for fear that it would cause them the same fate as the last person.

But on that unfortunate night on July 31st 1981, two bodies had been found - after the house had somehow magically re-appeared as if from thin air - once the neighbours started to become too nosy to leave things alone.

The first body that had been found was that of a man, lying eyes wide open with a look of utter shock on his face his body lying on the stairs, almost like he had been pushed their and his breath had been taken away right at the same time for apart from the look of shock upon his face, there seemed to be nothing else to say that this man had been murdered, it was almost like he had just dropped dead of his own accord.

Further up the stairs, in a room far to the left with a empty cot and a baby mobile was where the second body had been found, that of a woman's with blossom red hair and her green eyes wide open, a small tear track dried on her face and something wooden looking sticking out of her back pocket - that no-one had dared touch for fear that it might do them harm - but much like the man, there was no reason to say that she had been murdered, once again it was like she had got a fright and just dropped dead.

It was a strange sight to behold, made even more so by the empty room that looked like it may belong to that of a baby's room but no baby inside, no crying from anywhere else in the room or any other rooms made people start to question what had happened to the child, had the person who had done something to the man and woman took the child or had the child not been born yet.

For fourteen years the questions to travel round the neighbourhood like wild fire, no-one seeming to have an answer for anything at all not even being able to tell one-another about any rumours they might have heard from other neighbours.

But then something much more unexplained happened.

On a foggy August night fourteen years later in early nineteen ninety four, there was an earth crackling sound beneath people's feet followed by two quick gusts of wind and a shinning bright light that caused many people to become momentarily blinded but as soon as it had started, it had stopped and the next thing everyone was going back to their days of shopping and meeting up with friends as if nothing had happened.

But something very spectacular had just happened for within the Potter household, the source of the incoming light, a man and a woman were to beginning to stir, unaware that anything had transpired, unaware even that this was not the same day or year as they could remember.

There names were James and Lily Potter and by some great miracle, they had just been reborn...
