Prologue.
It was a cold Halloween night that the heartbreaking story of one Jasmine Amelia Potter began.
Jasmine and her sister Harriet Rose were born on the evening of July 31st 1980 to Lily and James Potter. Harry was first born at 5:17PM. Jasmine was shockingly second at 5:23PM. The Potter's were not expecting twins but the more the merrier was what they said.
Jasmine was a happy but shy baby. She preferred calm and low key. She loved to be in the garden with her mother. She enjoyed the fresh air and chase butterflies. If she was tired she would go find her godfather Remus. He would sit her on his lap and read to her, run his hand through her wavy auburn hair until she fell asleep.
Her sister Harry was outgoing and bold. The perfect Gryffindor. She enjoyed things of a more hectic nature. She loved to cause mischief with their father. Playing pranks and genuine silliness. Her most favorite game was to ride of her Godfather Sirius's back in his animagus form and race threw the Manor, chasing after house elves, who didn't mind the silliness one bit.
The girls couldn't be any more different if they tried but they did love each other. When one was sad the other would know and go comfort them. When one wanted something the other would find a way to get it. They normally slept in the same Crib even though they each had their own in their own rooms.
Everything was perfect until a Prophecy was spoken. The happiness ended all because of a rat and a mad dark lord who only heard half of the Prophcey.
The hooded forms of Marvolo Slytherin and Lucius Malfoy landed in Godric's Hallow with a near silent pop.
"You are aware we may be to late right?" Lucius ask softly as he and Marvolo quickly walked toward a cottage with a blasted in front door.
Walking inside they found the body of James Potter slumped against a wall, eyes unseeing. With a disappointed sigh Marvolo whispered "I am very aware Lucius."
The blondes response was cut off by the screaming plea of Lily Potter. "No! not my Babies! Take me not them!"
"AVADA KEDAVRA!" Screamed a high pitch and cruel voice.
"I really should have killed that bastard right after I figured out what he was." Marvolo snarled as he and Lucius silently climb the stairs. "But Nope. I just have to have a twisted since of humor. Found his actions amusing. He gone to far this time though. All those rituals for more power has made him go bat shit crazy. Kids are off limits This ends tonight." He promised himself as they reached the door way to a nursery.
Marvolo shot a silent Killing Curse at the monsters back but he realized too late it was a mere inch off course from its target. He watched in horror as the curse slammed into the red headed Potter twin standing up in front of her sister, who was lying sobbing in their crib.
What happened next happen so fast that neither Marvolo or Lucius could tell you what exactly happened.
Voldemort turned when he saw the green flash of the killing curse a mere half a second before it hit the child.
The curse rebounded and slammed into Voldemort's back, ripping him from his body.
The back lash of the curse caused both Marvolo and Jasmine potter to fall unconscious.
Lucius knew he had to get himself and Marvolo out of the cottage. If they were found here he was sure they would be blamed for this tragedy by Dumbledore faster the one could say quidditch. Grabbing Marvolo by the arm he whispered, "Stay safe little ones." Before Disapperating away from Godric Hallow.
It was way before dawn that Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore the biggest mistake of his life. He left Jasmine Amelia Potter on the door step of a children's home that in two and a half short years would become her own personal hell. It would remain that until she was rescued a little bit before her 11th birthday.
"I'm sorry little one but this is best for the greater good." He told the sleeping child as he placed her into a basket on the front porch. Tucking a letter with Jasmines personal information in it and a request to take care of her, Albus turned around and disappeared into the night.
