Revised by my beta, Haphne24 (1/10/18). Thank you, my friend.

Godric's Hollow, the birthplace of Godric Gryffindor, is home to many famous wizarding families such as the Dumbledore's. It was where James and Lily Potter decided to raise their twins: Harry 'Hadrian' James Potter and Sophia Petunia Potter. Harry had his father's dark brown hair and his mother's eyes while Sophia looked like her mother with James eyes. The Potters were currently in hiding due to a prophecy, given by Sybil Trelawney, about a child who would bring an end to Voldemort. It said, 'the one born to destroy the Dark Lord approaches. Born to those who have thrice defied him; born as the seventh month dies.'Albus Dumbledore had thought he had heard the fully prophecy and convinced the Potter and Longbottom family to go into hiding with the Fidelius charm. The Potters wanted to make Sirius Black the secret keeper, however Sirius thought that he would be too obvious and suggested that they choose Peter Pettigrew. The only people privy to this change were the Potters, Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew, and Albus Dumbledore.

In retrospect, not hearing the full prophecy would be a costly mistake for Albus Dumbledore. The full prophecy stated, 'the light will forsake the chosen one, and he will be reborn by the love of the snake and the monarchy of old. He will bring an era of peace through the union of Light and Dark. He will destroy the darkness and the world will be brought to an era of unification under the rule of the dragon serpent.'Similarly, Severus Snape-Prince didn't hear the full prophecy and rushed to tell the Dark Lord.

A lone hooded figure was walking up the street towards the Potter Cottage. He paid no mind to the muggle children dressed in Halloween costumes running past him. He walked down the dim lit street, his partner Nagini following behind him. Nagini was a victim of being a maledictus. However, Voldemort pushed the limit of magic and broke the curse allowing her to turn into a snake at will. She walked alongside him much to her disgust. Nagini used to respect Tom but now she couldn't stand the sight of the monster he became. She was also a descendent of Salazar Slytherin due to her ability of speaking Parseltongue. The Fidelius Charm was broken as he made it to the front gate. For extra security measures, he put up anti-apparition and anti-portkey wards around the house. Approaching the front door, he flicked his wrist making the door unlock and open. He told Nagini to stay outside while he dealt with the Potters. Entering the house, he was encountered by James.

"Lily flower, take the twins, run and I'll hold him off." James said.

Lily picked up her children and headed up the stairs to the nursery and began to barricade herself. Voldemort sneered at James' pitiful attempt to stand up to him.

"Lord Potter, a pleasure." Voldemort said while giving a mocking bow.

"Voldemort." James seethed.

"Such a shame that blood as pure as yours was tainted by a Mudblood. Step aside and I will spare your life out of respect." Voldemort said coldly.

"Over my dead body!" James yelled and casted spells at him.

The Dark Lord calmly blocked every spell James fired at him; he had to admit that James was a skilled duelist, but no one compared to his skill. Getting bored by Potter's pitiful attacks, he fired a killing curse at Potter, who barely dodged it by leaping to the side. James fired back however Voldemort conjured a black shield and the spell vanished. The Dark Lord fired a bombarda spell at James and blasted him into the wall of the living room knocking him out.

"Pathetic waste of pure blooded talent." The Dark Lord remarked. Believing the Potter patriarch to be dead, Voldemort walked upstairs.

Meanwhile, Lily had tried to apparate them but discovered there were anti-apparition and anti-portkey wards in place. She placed the twins in the crib and knelt down in front of the crib trying to console her crying children.

"It will all be okay; I won't let him hurt you." Lily said, trying to soothe her children.

She heard footsteps coming up the stairs and turned towards the door. Quickly, she reached for her wand, only to realise she left her wand downstairs. The door exploded open and The Dark Lord stood in the doorway.

"I would say it is a pleasure, but it is not a pleasure meeting you. Now, stand aside and let me have your children. My spy begged me to save your life and I will only give you one chance." Voldemort said.

"No." Lily replied, challenging Britain's greatest sorcerer.

"Foolish girl! You will watch as I snuff the life out of your children." Voldemort said as he hit Lily in the chest with a stunner.

At hearing the chaos in the house, Nagini had snuck inside and was waiting outside the bedroom door. She never justified killing children, to do so was a crime worse than anything anyone could commit. However, her hands were tied as she was bound to him. Voldemort turned towards the twins who had bunched close together in fear of the man.

"Such a shame to spill young magical blood, but it must be done. The prophecy cannot be fulfilled." Voldemort said while looking into the eyes of the twins as he raised his wand. "Avada Kedavra!" Voldemort shouted as a green ball of light erupted from his wand and flew towards the twins.

Just as the curse was about to hit, a bright silver shield erupted blinding the dark lord and flung the curse back at him. Voldemort let out an almighty scream of pain as he felt the curse ripping through his chest. His eyes widened in horror as he felt his body explode. Unknown to him, his spirit split into two. One latched itself onto Harry Potter and left Harry with a Rune like scar. The other gave Sophia a lightning bolt scar. The explosion had caused structural damage to the house. All that was left of Voldemort was his black robe and his wand on the floor in front of the crib. After recovering from the explosion, Nagini was overjoyed. She quickly sensed powerful waves of magic approaching the house, turned into her snake form and hid. Albus Dumbledore arrived at the Potters Cottage and ran towards the house to see it in ruin. Rushing inside the house, Dumbledore noticed James lying on the floor and checked for a pulse. James was slightly bleeding from a wound to the back of his head. He felt a pulse and pointed his wand at James.

"Rennervate." Dumbledore said.

James stirred for a few moments before opening his eyes. "Albus, what the-, why are you-, Lily where is she?" James asked, panicking.

"I can sense her upstairs; we better check on her, my boy." said Dumbledore.

Dumbledore helped James to his feet and they arrived in the nursery to see Lily unconscious near the crib. Dumbledore knelt down besides the body and cast the rennervate spell on her as Lily awoke.

"Peter betrayed us!" Lily said frantically.

"The rat sold us out." James said angrily.

"Take the children downstairs." Dumbledore said as he bent down to inspect Voldemort's robes and wand.

"What are you doing Dumbledore?" James asked.

"I need to check what's left of Voldemort. Wait downstairs there's something we need to discuss; I'd rather we were all sitting down when we discuss it." Dumbledore replied.

James nodded as he and Lily took their children and left the room. They headed downstairs to the living room where Lily sat down on the couch while her husband floo called Sirius and Remus. Sirius and Remus arrived immediately where James explained what happened. Sirius wanted nothing more than to rip Peter apart whereas Remus wanted to devour the rat. For the next few minutes, none of them could think of anything to talk about as they sat in complete silence. A few minutes later, Dumbledore came downstairs and sat down on a spare lounge chair and looked at the group.

"Lily, may I check the children for any magical backlash?" Albus asked.

She nodded as Albus cast a scan on the two children. Sophia's magical core was above average which was normal. However, Harry's core looked like he didn't have any at all. Albus believed that Sophia was the chosen one and must have used Harry's magic to reflect the killing curse. He had to start training Sophia, but he had to make sure that Harry wouldn't distract her and thought of a plan.

"I have wonderful news Lord Voldemort was killed here tonight when he attempted to kill the twins." Dumbledore said happily and continued. "The child of the prophecy I believe is young Sophia."

"What makes you think that?" Lily asked.

"The scar on her forehead is a curse scar. We need to train her so that she will be ready for Voldemort's return." Dumbledore replied. "

Return?" Sirius asked, confused.

"Yes, I believe that Voldemort is still alive, but he does not have a body anymore. However, I fear he will be back one day and Sophia must be ready to fight him." Dumbledore answered.

"What of Harry?" James asked.

"I'm sorry to say James that young Harry is a Squib." Albus said, lying to them all.

Lily was horrified and James was disgusted. If the wizarding world found out, James would be the laughing stock of the entire wizarding world. Lily was horrified that she birthed a squib.

"Lily, I suggest that we send Harry to your sister. Since he doesn't have any magic, he would be able to integrate into the Muggle world." Albus suggested to the Potters.

"I believe that's a good idea." James said. "If word got out that we birthed a squib, the family name would be dragged through the mud."

Sirius and Remus were shocked that James would throw away his child because he had no magic.

"You can't possibly be thinking of going through with this." Remus said shockingly.

"It's for the best Remus; Harry wouldn't be able to fit in with other magical people." James said in a disgusted tone.

"Petunia will hate Harry!" Sirius shouted.

"Petunia will happily take him in knowing he's normal" Lily said.

"What if he's not a Squib when his Hogwarts letter comes?" Sirius replied back.

"If he proves to be magical, we will take him back into the family." James responded.

Sirius gasped and shook his head, "this is not you Prongs!"

"I'm letting Harry live in a world where he truly belongs. Besides, he will still get a large portion of the Potter family money so he won't have to work a day in his life when he reaches 17." James retorted.

"He needs his family Prongs!" Remus shouted.

"Which he will have with Petunia! This conversation is over!" James shouted.

Sirius and Remus could only shake their heads at the loss of their best friend.

"You've changed James." Sirius sad sadly.

"I think it's best we leave Sirius. Oh and James, our friendship is over." Remus declared shocking James and Lily.

"Remus surely you're joking." James said worryingly.

"I meant every word James and you'll have to make a choice it's our friendship or listening to Albus." Remus growled.

Remus adored the children and considered them to be part of his pack. James sighed as he knew that his daughter would be the savior of the wizarding world and to ensure that would happen he had to make sacrifices.

"Sorry Remus." James said.

"So am I." Remus growled as he left Potter Cottage followed by Sirius.

"It's alright, James." Dumbledore said. "They will come back and see that this is for the greater good."

Nagini, in her snake form, was hissing in anger. She then thought if they didn't want him then she would take it upon herself to raise him. She slithered outside of the house to await the person who would be taking Harry to the Dursleys. It was instructed that Lily will be the one to take Harry to her sisters. As Lily stepped outside and walked to apparate outside the gates, Nagini turned back into her human self and struck. She placed her hand over Lily's mouth making her shout in a muffled tone, dragged the witch over to the cemetery next door and knocked her out with a mere wave of her hand. Nagini picked up Harry in her arms as the one year old looked at her.

"Hello little one, I'm Nagini and I'm your new mother." Nagini smiled. "I won't let you be sent to those magic hating Muggles. No I'm going to raise you to be a fine young wizard. You'll become what a real Slytherin is meant to be unlike that monster Tom Riddle."

Harry cooed and giggled as he chewed on her hair. Nagini smiled before looking at the unconscious Lily Potter. Taking Lily's wand, she obliviated Lily and planted false memories into her head thinking she already dropped Harry off at the Dursleys. Putting the wand back into Lily's pocket, Nagini levitated Lily back to the front of the cottage and rennervated her. Nagini quickly apparated away from Godric's Hollow with Harry Salazar Slytherin, the son of the snake.
