I dont own blood+ or harry potter. Reveiw if you like.

Albus Dumbledore stepped through the door of the hogsheads bar Christmas Eve, and smiled to his brother, "Aberforth, might I ask which room Ms. Trelawney is in?"

"I put her in from two." he says, not looking up from his cleaning rag, "Up the stairs, first door on the right."

"Thank you. Please ensure that no one disturbs us." Dumbledore says as he takes a bottle of lead from the shelf behind the counter. Aberforth nods and continues cleaning the mugs with his filthy rag.

Dumbledore knocks on the door marked two and it is opened by a rather intoxicated looking woman. "Headmaster! I must thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to give me a chance to teach at your prestigious school."

"Ms. Trelawney, I am sorry to say that I believe that you may need to seek your path elsewhere. At this time, there is no divination post, and I have not seen a need to create one. It isn't a very commonly requested career path." Dumbledore says sadly.

"I thought that you might say that, however, I have foreseen a time when the divination post would have a drastic influence on the future of our world!" she says dramatically, "Surely one as learned as you would see the importance of not going against destiny?"

"I am sorry to say, in all my years I have never seen anything to support your claim." he sighs.

"Yet that is my point!" she smiles, "That someone of your power would appear for the side of good during a period where we are faced with not one, but two dark lords, is nothing short of destiny itself!"

"If that were the case, Voldemort would not be the threat that he is today." he shrugs.

Trelawney gasps and shivers at his name and Dumbledore rises to his feet, "I am sorry, but Hogwarts is not where you are looking for. I wish you all the best in your continued search. Please feel free to stay here for as long as you like, the bill will be paid in full. Consider it my apology for being unable to help." he says sadly as the woman bursts into tears.

As he reaches for the door, the sobbing sounds behind him cease, and her voice turns deep, "The ones with the power to vanquish the dark lord approach."

He turns back and is astonished by the appearance of the woman he'd just rejected. Her eyes were wide, and inside they were blank, as if looking far away from him. She seemed in a trance, voice still rough, she continues,

"Born to those who thrice defied him,

born as the seventh month dies.

And the dark lord shall mark them as his equal,

but they shall have power the dark lord knows not.

And either must die at the hands of the other,

for neither can live while the other survives.

The ones with the power to vanquish the dark lord shall be born as the seventh month dies..."

Her eyes close and she begins sobbing again, "Please! Please reconsider!" she cries.

He stands in awe as he casts a quick legilimency probe and discovers that she had no memories of her worlds, 'A true prophecy... And about Voldemort as well. So long as he does not learn of this, we may yet see the end of him. But for now, I cannot risk letting her roam unguarded.'

"You have impressed me." he smiles, "I expect you at the school tomorrow morning."

She gasps, and begins sobbing again, "Thank you! Thank you so much!"

He smiles and walks out of the room. Casting the most powerful security charm he knew, he quickly walked back down the stairs, "Thank you for your help, Abe. It was quite the interesting interview."

"Someone else thought so too." he grunts, "That Snape boy that graduated a few years back, he was eavesdropping until about a minute ago."

Dumbledore froze up. 'He's a death eater!' Regaining his composure he quickly asks, "Where is he now?"

"I throw him out. Probably apparated away by now." Aberforth shrugs.

Dumbledore sighs, "What's done is done. Tomorrow morning, please keep Ms. Trelawney here until I arrive to escort her."

"You got it." he shrugs as Dumbledore steps out into the street.

_

"Repeat it again, Severus." Voldemort asks calmly.

"Yes, my lord. 'The ones with the power to vanquish the dark lord approach. Born to those who thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies.'" Snape repeats, bowing before his master, "That is all I heard before being thrown out by the barkeeper."

"Surely you could have defeated a simple barkeeper!" Bellatrix laughs, along with several of the other death eaters.

"Certainly." Snape sneered, "But it would have alerted Dumbledore. I felt the best course of action was to leave and report back, lest I be captured and my memory of this prophecy erased."

"I do not disagree." Voldemort smirks, "You have done well, Severus. Have you any possible idea of who this prophecy could refer?"

"My lord, I believe that Alice Longbottom is expecting a child at the end of July." he bows.

"Indeed. They have escaped my grasp three times in the past." Voldemort nods.

"My lord..." a short man mutters, "I believe that the potters are expecting a child as well..."

Snape felt the blood drain from his face as he heard this. Voldemort smiles, "Excellent work, Wormtail. They have been a thorn in my side for quite some time. Yet the prophecy speaks of more than one..."

"Perhaps they will stand together?" Rosier suggests, "Their parents have done this often, and if they inherited a modicum of the power of their parents, it could prove dangerous."

"Bella, my dear, I have a new mission for you." Voldemort smiles.

"Anything, my lord!" she bows deeply.

"You will follow the Longbottoms. Gather what information you can." he smirks, "When the time is right, I will visit them myself."

"As you command." she smiles, "Then I take my leave."

"Rosier, you and Evans are to investigate the Potters." Voldemort continues. Both men bow and walk from the room, "Wormtail, continue as our spy. Rockwood, return to the ministry and see it you can get the exact wording of the prophecy."

"What of me, my lord?" Snape asks worriedly, mental shields shaking from his nerves.

"Severus, I am entrusting you with an extremely important task. Infiltrate Hogwarts and keep tabs on that old fool." Voldemort says, "I do not care what lies you tell him, so long as you do not reveal any of our secret plans."

"I understand." Snape bows, "May I reveal that I told you the prophecy?"

"What are you planning?" he glares.

"I shall spin a tale of remorse. I informed you of the prophecy, and you seek to kill Lily potter, who I admit I was once attracted to. Dumbledore is famous for believing the best of others. Such a tale of love will assure me his trust, at least in part." Snape smiles coolly, still fighting to keep his shield up.

"Very well." He smiles, "Do as you wish."

"Yes, my lord." he bows, "I shall begin immediately." Snape rises and leaves the room. As soon as he passes the wards, he apparates to the gate of Hogwarts.

_

Dumbledore walks along the hilly grounds of the school when someone apparates behind him at the gate. He quickly disarms the man and grabs the wand from the air. "Please stop!" he shouts, kneeling on the ground.

Dumbledore recognizes him as the man who was eavesdropping earlier, "Ah, Severus. I assume that you informed Voldemort of the prophecy? How much did you tell him?"

"Everything I heard." Snape says, "Everything up to the child being born in July."

"I assume that Voldemort wants you to assassinate me?" Dumbledore shrugs.

"No, he ordered me to follow you." Snape mutters, "But I'd have come here if he didn't!"

"What business do you have with me?" Dumbledore smiles.

"The Dark Lord believed that the prophecy refers to the children of Alice Longbottom, and Lily potter." Snape sighs, "Please, you have to protect them!"

"Them?" he glares, "Don't you mean Lily?"

"She is the reason that I ask." he admits.

"And what will I get in return?"

"Anything. My loyalty. My life. Whatever you wish." Snape says humbly.

"Very well." Dumbledore smiles, "Inform Voldemort that you have succeed in getting close, and that I've given you the vacant post of potions master. As I recall, you were quite proficient at the subject. I will see to the protections of the potters and the Longbottoms."

"It may be a couple of days before the dark lord will allow me to leave his side again." Snape warns, "My shields will protect my true loyalty, but I can't afford to divulge too many secret operations, or else he will learn of my true loyalties. "

"I understand." Dumbledore smiles, "I wonder if Lily will ever realize that you still feel this way about her."

"Don't tell her." Snape begs, "I ruined things with her once before. I don't want to do it again."

"As you wish." Dumbledore sighs, handing him back his wand, "Send me a letter asking for the jobs after you convince him to let you. I trust you can handle that?"

"Naturally." Snape sneers as he walks back to the gate and disapprates. Dumbledore follows after him and apparates to Godric's hollow.

He sadly walked through the street, paying a quick visit to his mother and sister's grave. On the hill a quarter of a mile from the cemetery, he knocks on the door to his old house. James opens the door with his wand raised, "Albus. What happened?"

"James, I fear that Voldemort may be seeking you and Lily." he says, "I received the report from a spy in the death eaters. May I come in?"

James nods and Dumbledore follows him into the sitting room. Lily was sitting in one of the armchairs and sipping tea. She smiles at the headmaster, "It's good to see you, Professor."

"Alas, I wish it were on better circumstances. Earlier tonight, a prophecy was made regarding a child that had the potential to destroy Voldemort." Dumbledore sighs, "the children will be born at the end of July, to parents that fought and escaped from Voldemort three times,"

"He thinks it's us?" James asks worriedly.

"He doesn't know whether it is you, or the Longbottoms." Dumbledore nods, "That said, I believe that it would be best to use the Fidelius Charm."

"I can cast it." Lily nods, "But who should I use for the secret keeper?"

"Perhaps one of you?" Dumbledore suggests.

"If we are going into hiding, it wouldn't be a good idea to leave if we need to tell someone the secret, and letters could be intercepted." lily shakes her head.

"I would be honored to act as your secret keeper." Dumbledore smiles.

"How about Sirius?" James suggests, "I've known him for years. He'd never betray us."

Dumbledore thinks hard on this for a moment, 'Black is number two on my list for Voldemort's spy...' he shakes his head, "Are you sure?"

"I trust Sirius." James says, and Lily nods in agreement.

'At least if anything happens I will know who the spy is.' Dumbledore sighs, "Very well. Then I will leave it to you, lily. Would you allow me to place some protective charms? Just until the charm is cast?"

"Of course." Lily smiles, "When is the next meeting?"

"For the foreseeable future, I would prefer that you not attend any meetings." he smiles, "The less time you spend in the open, the better,"

Lily sighs, but nods. "Anything else, professor?" she asks.

"Not at the moment. Have Sirius tell me the secret after the charm is cast." Dumbledore smiles, "Now, I need to inform Frank and Alice."

"Good night, Headmaster." James smiles, walking him to the back door.

_

Seven months later, Dumbledore received a note from James. He'd gone into hiding the first week of January with Lily.

Dear Albus,
I just thought that you'd want to know that Lily gave birth to twins, last night, a boy and a girl. We decided to name the boy Harry, after my grandfather, and the girl Priscilla after Lily's mother. We'd love it for you to pay us a visit.

Hope you're well
James

"Twins?" Dumbledore murmured, "Could that be what the prophet was speaking of? Not together with Longbottom, but the twins are the ones with the power to vanquish the dark lord..." he mused aloud.

"Has something happened?" Severus asked as he walked into the room.

"Lily gave birth to twins last night." he smiled, though Snape wasn't as happy.

"Then they are the ones spoken of in the prophecy?" Snape asks eyes full of worry.

"Most likely." Dumbledore sighs, "It would be best if you reported this to Voldemort."

"What!" he shouts.

"Voldemort believes you so well informed. This will come out eventually, so it's better that he believes you are fulfilling your role as his spy." Dumbledore says calmly, "They have been well protected for over six months."

"Are you sure that they will be safe?" Snape asks.

"So long as Black is not the spy." Dumbledore smiles, "Even Voldemort can't pierce a Fidelius charm without the secret keeper."

"Very well." Snape sighs, "Then I will inform him."

"Thank you." Dumbledore smiles, "I believe that I will visit them later tonight. Would you like me to pass along a message?"

Snape scowls and slams the door shut behind him. "I'll take that as a no." Dumbledore smiles.

"How are they?" James smiles as he sits next to his wife's bed.

"Still asleep." Lily chuckles, "Harry looks just like you." she says as she strokes the black haired baby's hair.

"Priscilla is your spitting image." James laughs, "Except the eyes. She's got those beautiful red eyes."

Lily smiles, "Harry has my eyes."

"You'll live a long time with them, won't you?" James smiles.

"My offer is still open, James." she says, holding her husband's hand, "You could live with us."

"Unfortunately not." he sighs, "Your blood lost its potency when you became pregnant. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't become your Chevalier."

"Don't forget that I lost my protection with that blood." Lily smiles, "I'm just glad that our children would be safe even if Voldemort found us."

"We've got nothing to worry about." James laughs, "Peter will never betray us. Voldemort can just look forever, and we'll be able to raise the children in peace."

"You're right." she chuckles, "Did you tell Dumbledore?"

"Yeah, I sent him an owl." James sighs, and the children start crying, "Looks like they're hungry."

"I just fed them an hour ago." lily laughs, "I'll go get some blood."

"No need." James shrugs, taking a knife and slicing his finger, "Eat up." both children drink the blood gluttonously, and within moments, the wound was dry and both babies were sleepily yawning, "All they do is eat and sleep." James laughs as he heals the cut on his finger.

"That's normal. Before long, they won't need to drink much unless they use their power." Lily smiles as she places each child under the blanket.

"That's good." James sighs, "I think I'm going to sleep for the first time in three days."

"Sleep well." she smiles, "Do you want me to wake you if the headmaster stops by?"

"Only if there is news." he yawns.

"Good night, James." she waves as he walks across the hall. She places a few charms around the bed and goes downstairs to the sitting room. "I wonder if I'll really live as long as he thinks." she sighs.

Even in her weakened state, the drowsiness was too much. She'd fall into a deep sleep before long, and James might not be there when she wakes up. That more than anything scared her.

_

"What news, Severus?" Voldemort asked calmly as the potions master walks into the room.

"My lord, Dumbledore has just informed me that the Potters had twins." Snape bows.

"Twins?" he asks, eyes narrowed, "Perhaps the children in the prophecy were only the potter?"

"That was my assumption as well." he states, "Given the severe nature of this news, I told Dumbledore that I was ill and took the morning off."

"Excellent work, Severus." he smiles, "Return to Hogwarts and continue your surveillance of the old man. Anything major should be reported at once. Otherwise, keep silent until I contact you."

"Yes my lord." Snape bows.

"Has Dumbledore informed you who his source is within the death eaters?" Voldemort asks as his snake wrapped itself around his arm.

"No, my lord. While he trusts me, he is weary. He doesn't dare give me information about the Order. Luckily he gives me enough cookie crumbs to piece together parts of their plans."

"You truly are a most valuable servant, Severus." Voldemort grins, "Return to your duties."

Snape rises and walks from the room. 'That should satisfy the old man. Now I can try and discover if Pettigrew is the only traitor.' he smirks as he quietly walks through the mansion.

_

Lily starts at the knock on the door. The rational part of her knew it was likely a friend, but her chiropteran instincts were on high alert. "Who is it?" she calls through the door.

"It is I." a voice called back happily. She threw open the door and embraced the old man.

"I'm glad that you could come." she smiles, "It's been lonely since the death eaters started picking up the pace of their attacks. The only one we've been able to talk to is Bathilda."

"On the up side, you'll never run out of stories." he smiles, "How are the children?"

"Quite well. They're both asleep." she says, motioning him Ito the house, "I'm sorry that James isn't up. He's been awake for the last couple days helping with the birth."

"To be expected." he nods, "But it all worked out in the end. May I see them?"

Lily nods and leads them up the stairs. "Be quiet. I don't want to wake them." she whispers before opening the door.

The two creep silently into the room, and Dumbledore smiles brightly at the two happily sleeping forms. Lily leads him out of the room and he whispers, "They're beautiful. And so very like their parents."

"I know." she smiles, "I'm glad that they can be safe, even of the world is being destroyed all around them."

"In time, they could be the key to saving it." Dumbledore chuckles, "I can't help but look forward to the day when those two step foot into Hogwarts."

"That day is a ways away." she smirks, "I have a lot more mothering to do before I let them go to school."

Dumbledore laughs, "I'd expect nothing less! I am quite sorry to leave so soon, but I have far too much paperwork at the school."

"Take care, headmaster." lily smiles, "Be safe."

"And you as well." he chuckles, "Give Bathilda my best."

She laughs as she sits down in her chair, and pulls of a stack of parchment. "At the very least, I need to make sure that they hear it from me, even if I can't help them. And it never hurts to have it as a precaution." she sighs as she starts writing.

_

Three months later, Pettigrew's information was getting weaker, and the order began to suspect him. He calls a meeting of all death eaters without an active assignment. "The time has come." he announces, "Wormtail, the secret."

"Yes, my lord." he squawks, "The potter residence is located in Dumbledore cottage in Godric's hollow!" the death eaters cheered as their lord laughed.

"Tonight, the potters will die!" he cries.

He apparates to the village under cover of night, and I moderately surprised to see children dressed in awful costumes, begging for candy from laughing adult. He walks quickly through the crowd, eyes situated at the house on the hill that had never been there during his previous searches.

"Nice costume mister!" a sheet wearing muggle boy chucked. His wand moved instinctively for his wand. It would take no time at all to snuff out the boy's life. Yet, it would be pointless. He stowed his wand and continue towards the hill. At the foot of the hill, he passed the ward line, smirking.

James and lily were laughing as the twins raced each other across the room when something crosses the ward line. James looks out the window and shouts, "Lily, take the children and run!" he snatches up is wand and runs of the door, firing spells of every possible kind. Lily grabbed both children and ran toward the back door when a new ward formed, blocking the back exit. Her only chance was to go up.

Her heightened senses were on high alert as she ran up the stairs, clutching her children who cried desperately, and to her horror she heard something hit the ground, followed by a high laugh. She chokes back tears as she ran up the stairs and locks herself in the children's room.

She places both of them in the cribs, casting every defensive spell imaginable, and waited as the sound of footsteps moved ever closer. 'This is bad.' she thought, 'this close to the sleep, I don't have the strength, speed, or endurance for a drawn out fight. Only one chance left then.' she sighs as the door opens and throws down her wand.

"You can kill me, but don't kill them." she says defiantly.

"Stand aside, silly woman, and perhaps I'll let you live." he laughs, and waits for her to step away, but she stands in his path.

"I don't care what happens to me, but I'll protect my children to the end!" she shouts, and for the briefest scone, her green eyes turn blue.

Thoroughly unfazed, Voldemort points his wand towards the stubborn woman, "Avada Kedavra!"

As the green light flew towards her, she smiles, 'The last thing I can do is to make sure that both of to live.' she thinks as the green blast hit her. She crumples to the ground lifelessly.

Voldemort steps over the body, stooping to pick up her wand, then walked to the twins who stared up at him. Pointing both wands at the babies, he exclaims, "And with this, my immortality is assured! Avada Kedavra!"

The two wands emit identical beams of green light, and both strike them. Harry takes the shot to the forehead, carving a lightning bolt scar into his forehead. Priscilla is hit in the chest, and a star forms on her stomach. Both spells rebound on Voldemort, ripping his body to shreds as he screams. The rebound set the house ablaze, trapping the crying children in the inferno.

"Dumbledore!" Snape shouts, barging into the office.

"What happened?" he asks sharply.

"I just received word from Malfoy that The Dark Lord is moving against the potters tonight!" Snape shouts.

"No!" Dumbledore gasps as he grabs his wand and begins removing the anti apprating charm from the castle. As soon as it disappears, Dumbledore grabs Snape's hand and turns, appearing moments later in front of a burning building. In front of them, James potter lay lifeless along the path.

"Lily can't be in there!" Snape gasps.

"Severus." Dumbledore says sadly, "The fact that you are able to see it prove that Lily is no longer of this world."

Snape yells and screams, pounding the ground beneath him. Dumbledore leaves him to grieve as he quickly freezes the flames and ruins through the building. Miraculously, he hears crying in the children's bedroom. He doubles his speed, practically flying up the steps and turns, wand drawn into the room. A black cloak is lying on the floor, right in front of a crib with two crying children. Beside them, lily potter lay just as her husband, with the oddest of smiles on her face.

He scooped both children and apparates back to the hospital wing, "Poppy! We have a crisis!" he shouts, banging on the matrons door. She opens almost at once

"What's going on?" she asks sternly, staring at the babies in his arm.

"James and Lily are dead." he says sadly, "But somehow these children survived, and by all appearances Voldemort did not."

Pompfrey gasps, reaching out for them and mutter furiously, "I'll take care of them. You go back. I'm sure you'll want to confirm this before anything else happens."

"Have Minerva tell the others, and I want to talk to Sirius Black!" Dumbledore shouts as he apparates back to the room. The flame freezing charm still held as the fire burned harmlessly.

He gently picks up Lily's body and carried it from the house. Apparently poppy had done as he instructed, as he was met by three quarters of the order of the phoenix before he even stepped out the door.

All of them began putting out the fires as Dumbledore investigated the scene of the final kill. The signature showed that Voldemort cast three killing curses. Two from his wand, and one from Lily's. Yet the children survived.

'Lily let him kill her.' he gasped, 'her life shields them from his spells. Then your sacrifice was not in vain...' he prays silently amid the flames.

He begins shifting through what remained for some sign of what they'd have wanted to do, and he found it. Sticking out of the crib where the children had been was a stack of parchment in Lily's neat hand writing. Attached to the top is a letter addressed to him. He opens it and it reads:

Albus,
I hope that this letter is written in vain, but I write it for fear that I will not survive long enough to see my children grow. These children are far more than they appear to be, just as I was. Everything you'll need to know is written on the enclosed documents. Please help them grow and understand what they can do.

Lily

He quickly browses through the hand written notes she left, and he formed the safest plan for everyone. With a heavy heart, he stepped out of the burned out house and spoke to the assembled Order members.

"We have paid a heavy price today." he says solemnly, "James and Lily potter perished earlier this evening at the hands of Lord Voldemort." many of the audience burst into tears, "However, by a miracle that we cannot hope to explain, their son lives. Their son lives and Lord Voldemort has fallen. We are victorious!"

The crowd is speechless for a moment before everyone starts to cheer. Dumbledore smiles slightly before he apparates back to towards, taking with him only the notes as the aurors arrived on scene. "Alastor, I will handle the Potter's funeral arrangements, and I want it understood that this will not be a ministry spectacle." he warns before he leaves.

"You heard the man!" moody shouted at the aurors who arrived, "Investigate the scene, and find out what happened! Someone get me Sirius black!"

"How are they?" Dumbledore asks as he walks into the hospital wing.

"I don't know. I've never seen anything like this." she sighs, pointing towards the red crystals on the floor, "I was wiping the blood away from their wounds when the rag started crystallizing! And on top of that, they won't stop crying and I can't figure out why."

"They are hungry, of course." Dumbledore mutters as he cuts his finger, giving each of them some blood, "Poppy, this doesn't leave this room, understood?"

"I have to keep my healers oath." she swears, "What are they?"

"An ancient creature similar to vampires. Yet they don't have the same weakness. Their only weakness is the blood of another of their kin." Dumbledore explains.

"What will you do with them?" she asks.

"I have decided to separate them. Together they may accidentally kill each other. Harry Potter will go to his aunt, where her blood will keep Lily's sacrifice alive. He will be known throughout our world as the boy who lived." Dumbledore sighs.

"What of the girl?"

"I do not know. It would be too risky to put her with her aunt, yet she cannot afford to be unprotected." he says, "I will have to think on this."

And think he does. Dumbledore spends the entire night committing the entirety of the documents Lily wrote to memory and planning his next course of action.

The door opens the following night and Snape walks in eyes swollen from tears. "Severus, I would like to ask you a favor."

"What!?" he spits.

"I must ask you if you will protect Lily's daughter." Dumbledore asks calmly, convinced that he will accept.

"She doesn't need protection. The dark lord is gone. No one can harm her now." Snape glares.

"Voldemort will return, and his followers are still a very real danger." Dumbledore warns.

"Why me?" Snape asks, "Surely someone like Lupin or Longbottom would be a better choice."

"Because you love Lily." he smiles, "Because even now that she's died, you still love her. That love will keep the protection Lily gave her alive. Will you do this?"

Snape doesn't answer, eyes still flaring at the man who failed to protect his love. Dumbledore waits patiently until Snape give in, "Fine!"

"Thank you, Severus." he smiles, "Now both of them will be safe."

"Don't thank me yet." Snape glares, "If she takes after her father, I might accidentally kill her."

Dumbledore laughs, knowing that he would never kill Lily's daughter even if she took after James.

"I hope that their lives will not be too difficult." Dumbledore sighs, "They will spend the next ten years completely separated. How different will they be when they meet again?"
