Chapter 1: Prologue

Lily Potter was beyond excited at the news the Medi-witch had told them. Lily was currently two months pregnant with a bouncing baby boy, James had been with her in the hospital room; his face a light with excitement at the thought of having someone other than his three best friends to play with. The date was December the 18th 1979. Both Potter's understood that even though this was very exciting news that they only had a small amount of time to celebrate it. The reason was the current war raging between the light side called the Order of the Phoenix lead by one of the most powerful wizards alive; Dumbledore and the evil Dark Lord Voldemort.

But that didn't stop either future parent from rushing home to inform their friends of the future little bundle of joy that should be arriving in the next seven months or so but instead decided to inform everyone at their next Order meeting.

So the next Saturday when everyone was free the Order had met at the Potter's, not wanting everyone distracted they opted to wait until the meeting was adjourned.

"Welcome everyone, shall we begin?" Albus Dumbledore asked from the head of the table.

"Well, I guess I should go first. The wolves have started trusting me more and more, but it's getting increasingly difficult coming up with excuses as to why I refuse to kill muggles. I'm practically left with the excuse of 'I'm a vegetarian'." That comment got a few sniggers amongst the group and an amused look on Dumbledore's face. "But anyway, there's been talk of Voldemort returning to his old home for something. But even they we aren't sure what that might be yet."

"Thank you, Remus." Remus Lupin, a thinly haired man gave a smile and sat back down. The Order use Lupin to gain information from within the closest pack of Werewolves associated with Voldemort. Dumbledore smiled at the young man who had just spoken and nodded to towards the table for anyone else who might have information to give.

There were a few looks around the table before a Dumbledore gave a slight nod of his head and proceeded giving them orders and suggestions to Lupin for more excuses to give to the Death Eater wolf pack. After an hour of planning and discussions, the meeting ended with everyone going into the sitting room. Lily quickly went off to the kitchen while pulling James along by his ear much to his chagrin. After preparing some snack's and tea, the couple stood up to address their friends.

"Everyone."

"We have some excellent news to share with you all?"

The entire room fell quiet as they looked up the young couple.

"Well, James and I are happy to announce that very soon we'll be getting another addition to the Order." Lily said with a glowing smile.

Almost immediately Dumbledore stood up and gave James and Lily tight hugs and whispers of congratulations. He was soon followed by Minerva McGonagall, Molly and Arthur Weasley and Remus Lupin; meanwhile Sirius looked up at James with tears in his eyes.

"Y-you mean…?" he stammered.

"That's right, and we, well that's to say Lily and I really wanted you to be our child's Godfather."

"W-what, m-m-me… no I couldn't." Sirius said looking away from his 'brother' and his wife.

"Yes you could and you shall. Sirius, you're practically James's brother and we want you to be a part of this family." Lilly said looking at the dark haired man sitting in front of her.

"You too, Remus, we want you to be the awesome, honorary uncle." James said grinning at his second best friend.

"James, I'm touched you would consider that, but I couldn't possibly-" He was ferociously cut off by Lily.

"Remus Lupin, if you decline this offer because of your moonbeam madness, I swear on Merlin's beard, I'll castrate you, cook them then serve them back to you in spaghetti and tomato sauce!" her face left no room for objections, but Remus thought he should try one more time.

"But what if I hurt him or worse bi-" he stopped as he saw the red-faced, red-head glaring daggers at him.

"Is what I would've said, I- I'd love to be the child's uncle." He finished with a nervous chuckle.

Everyone laughed at this and went into a deep discussion about baby name's and what the child could possibly look like, but the night was clearly far from over as the Potter's heard a knock at their door. James, Sirius and Remus went to answer the door, having their hands close to their wands in case of an attack, James looked back at his two friends and gave a small nod as he threw open the door, only to be met by his next door neighbour and very close friend; Ray and Lisa George. Giving them a happy smile he led them into the house to join in their festivities.

Ray George was an average height man who looked too young for his age. He had broad shoulders, dark skin and a small amount of facial hair. He also had dread locks which hung down to his shoulders, but what made James appeal to the man all the more was the fact that they had been paired up in their Auror trainee years and had hit it off instantly. The fact that Remus, Sirius and Peter also found him to be acceptable was a plus in James's book.

Lisa George was a short Indian woman who had run away from her home land with Ray after they had hit it off, but her family had denied them being together which lead to her making her escape. She was born from a wizarding family but couldn't perform any herself. That had made her enough of an outcast with her own family but Ray had promised her another life where no prejudice. She had large brown eyes, a heart shaped face, and long shiny black hair which just added mystery to her. She had been with Ray a near four years and they had only gotten married the previous year. Her English had greatly improved yet still held her strong accent.

"Jamie, Siri, Remmy! How you guys doing?" Ray asked stepping into the Potter residence.

James laughed at the nick-name; his friend was definitely in a good mood tonight.

"We're doing great, Ray. Lisa, how wonderful it is to see you. You're looking beautiful this evening, like always." James said giving the Indian girl a kiss on the cheek.

"Why sir, are you flirting with me?" she asked smirking at the man.

"He sure as hell better not be." said the voice of a smirking red-head who was leaning against the door frame.

"Lily dear, my god you're glowing. Whatever you're smoking I'd like some." Ray said with a sly smile.

"Nothing and you know that." She replied with a light blush. It happened at the George's engagement party; Ray had offered Lily a small amount of marijuana, and curious as she was she had a small pull before tripping balls.

"We said we would never speak of that night, or have you forgotten what happened last time." she said glaring at the laughing Sirius.

He immediately stopped and looked away looking innocently.

"Well, we're being very rude to our other guests, we'd better head back." Remus said leading the new couple into the sitting room.

"Ah Mr George and Lovely Lisa what brings you two here this lovely evening?" Albus asked with his usual twinkling blue eyes.

"Well in all honesty." Lisa said quietly "We were kind of hoping to break the news to James and lily first." She finished with a shy smile.

"I do so hope it's good news, dear." Minerva said in a motherly tone.

"Oh, no, it's good news, brilliant actually." Ray said with chestier cat grin.

"Oh do tell." Sirius said in his best saucy voice.

This caused the males to give him strange looks while the ladies scoffed and motioned for Lisa to continue.

"Well, I'm with child!" she squealed happily.

There was a pregnant pause in the room, not even the mosquito on Sirius's arm paused from drinking his blood for a moment. James looked at Lily, who looked at Remus, who lifted an eyebrow at Minevra, who blinked at Albus, who smiled at Sirius, who gaped at Ray, who beamed at Lisa, who looked like she was floating on seventh heaven.

"Wow." James managed to say.

"Yeah, wow." Lily breathed.

"Um, is something wrong?" Lisa asked looking around the room when her thoughts were over.

"No, no it's not that at all, it's just well… err… wow this is some kinda coincidence." Remus said softly.

"What is it?" Ray asked getting frustrated.

"Oh Merlin! Lily also told us she was pregnant not more than twenty minutes before you arrived." Sirius said finally getting over his stupor.

There was a loud yell of happiness from all the females in the room and an even loud yell of happiness from the males as they all tackled Ray to the ground much to Lisa's amusement. She watched as the men continued to squeeze Ray so hard a faint of purple was visible on his dark face.

Her thoughts were snapped though as she was given a bone crushing hug of her own by all the females.

Everyone stopped when a short, pudgy man by the name of Peter Pettigrew entered the house. "Um, what I miss?"

(oo-[][]-oo)

One year and three months later, Lisa George sat on the Potter's porch in their hidden location, watching their respective husbands playing with their children, both little boys. Lisa and Lily had come up with the idea of living far away from each other for the main reason that both their families are wanted by Voldemort and his lackeys. Today was the first time they had seen each other in many months, Lisa watched as Ray lifted their son; Andrew Raymond George, in the air to receive a loud squeal of delight in return.

Lily Potter sat enjoying a lovey cup of tea as she watched James and Ray throw their little boys in the air then swap them and repeat the action, she watched the copy of her husband; Harry James Potter, grab his father's nose in an attempt to remove it. Which incidentally he did, thanks to a small amount of accidental magic. The sight made her laugh as she watched James scream like a girl as little Harry held his father's nose in the air like some trophy he had just won. Her eyes then flickered over to Ray and little Andy, she almost burst out laughing at the sight; Ray stood holding his son at arm's length, while they glared at each other and Andrew's outstretched arm aiming for his dad's face in an attempt to pull his father's nose off his face.

"Oh aren't they just adorable?" Lisa said with a small hint of laughter in her voice.

"Oh, they're just darlings." Lily replied happily. She turned to look at James again as he ran over to Ray successfully breaking up the glaring match between the two George males, his voice sounded awkward as he begged Ray to fix what Harry had done.

Ray turned his head to look at his friend but that was just the distraction Andrew needed to make a grab at his daddy, with a jolt forward he grabbed a handful of his father's hair, there was a slight glow before Ray felt a very uncomfortable breeze grace his scalp. Reaching up to inspect his hair, his eyes widened at the lack of hair on his head, he felt nothing but disturbing smoothness. Turning to little Andrew he saw his son wriggle out of his hands and run over to Harry, then stood next to him raising his father's dreadlocks high above his head with a look that simply stated 'I won this round grow-ups!'.

Lily really did burst out laughing this time, and was joined shortly by Lisa who was bent over covering her mouth to muffle her laughter. The two dads looked at each other for a moment before collapsing in laughter.

Later that evening after having everything fixed the George's decided to head back home before it got too late.

"Come now Andy, say goodbye to Harry it's time to go home." Lisa said to her son as she pulled on her coat.

"'Awy, 'awy!" little Andrew walked into the sitting room calling out his 'brother's' name.

"Andew!" Harry called back pulling Andrew back to the room with the fire-place.

"Bye-bye." Harry said pulling Andrew into a tight embrace.

"Bye-bye, 'Awy." Andrew said returning the little hug from Harry.

Looking at the little interaction Lisa smiled and hugged Lily while Ray and James got caught up in the moment and gave each other a very large hug.

"You'll come back to visit right?" James asked Lisa as they gave each other a small hug.

"Oh yes please, it's always a pleasure having you here!" Lily said while she hugged Ray.

"Of course we will." Lisa replied quietly.

"Yeah, and besides I doubt we'll be able to keep those two away from each other." Ray said indicating to the two small children who had fallen asleep sometime during their hug.

Each mother separating their child from the other the George's made their way to the floo; they had agreed to have their floo's connected to each other and no one else and they had also charmed to it to only allow them through so no intruders could try and enter their houses.

Flooing to their home the George's slowly made their way to little Andrew's room to put him to sleep, they were about half way up the steps when a loud pounding could be heard, someone was at their door.

Ray turned to see Lisa thinking the exact same thing; they hadn't invited anyone to their home because they had gone to the Potter's the door pounded again before a voice was heard just behind the door.

"Reducto!" the voice yelled the door shook but didn't break down.

"Ray…" Lisa said in a nervous tone.

"Honey, there's a mole in the Order and someone's given away our location. We planned for this, remember? Quickly grab a quill and parchment, we don't have time for you to right this down I'll just charm it into a howler for James and Lily." The door shook again, slowly coming off its hinges. "Hurry, I'll get Andy's blanket." And with that Ray ran up to his son's room in remarkable speed.

Lisa finished her letter and looked at the sleeping form of her son in her arms, and whispered something in his ear before looking back at the door which was about one more blow away from being blown apart. Ray came rushing back into the room and carefully but quickly wrapping Andrew up in a blanket before placing him in the fire place, Lisa put the note on top of his person before grabbing a handful of floo powder. Just before they tossed the powder in the fire, the door blew open and their stood their enemy and their traitor.

"You!" Ray screamed at him.

Lisa was only temporarily stunned before she threw the powder into the flames and watched their son disappear in a blinding green light.

"You shouldn't have done that, squib." The person sneered.

"Oi don't call my wife a squib, you bastard!" Ray said sending a cutting curse at the person only to have it blocked away.

"Oh this shall be fun." The person said with an evil grin as they proceeded to enter the house only to be followed by four more Death Eaters.

Knowing a losing battle when he sees one Ray turned to Lisa and told her to move and go to the floo, his heart however froze in place as he felt her hand enter his and her giving him a teary smile. Looking to the group he saw how the mindless dogs were checking out his wife as they slowly advanced on them, whispering a few words to his wife, she smiled and nodded her head and gave her a small kiss before looking at her, his vision slightly blurry by all the tears that were currently in his eyes. Raising his wand and pointing it at his wife he muttered a small "I love you." To which she replied, "I love you too, honey, and don't worry I'll be waiting for you on the other side."

Seeing the Death Eater's getting closer, Ray stole one last glance at his wife before muttering the words he dreaded. "Avada Kedavra…" With another green flash he caught his wife's now limp body in his hands, and looked at her lifeless eyes, his body shook from the sobs he emitted, reaching out he brushed a few stray hairs from her face and closed her eyes. He laid his wife's body on the ground and kissed her forehead as he turned to face the Death Eaters who looked absolutely gobsmacked.

Using this to his advantage, Ray sent out a barrage of very lethal curses, he managed to hit two of the men with an internal organ rotting curse. But he had forgotten about one of the other men as he took on the two he had his attention on. Before he knew it he heard the curse he had just used on his wife as he felt a slight stinging in his back before he collapsed on the; dead.

(oo-[][]-oo)

Lily had been in the kitchen making Harry a bottle when the sound of the floo rang through the house, smiling to herself, she made her way towards their fire place 'Probably Ray forgetting something of Andrew's.' she thought to herself.

Reaching the floo she didn't see Ray or Lisa, instead she saw little Andrew wrapped in blankets in their fire place and a letter attached to him.

"James, come to the floo, now!" She yelled out.

James came rushing into the room his glasses a skew, he was followed by Sirius who had come to visit his Godson's but had missed the George's but seeing little Andrew lying the floo without his parents made him quite surprised. Picking him up, Lily detached the letter that had been attached to his blanket. She was about to open the letter when there was a knock at the door, being on very high alert, Sirius gave Andrew to Lily and pushed her out of the way while James went to see who it was.

"Hey James, can I come in?" came the pudgy voice of Peter Pettigrew.

"Oh um hey Pete, I'm really sorry, you can always come back tomorrow, but tonight we kind of just want family time."

"Oh, yeah I understand, it's just well I haven't seen Sirius for a while and Remus is, well he's with the other wolves, so I guess I'm kinda lonely." Peter said glancing at the ground.

"Sorry Wormy, um we'll hang out tomorrow alright?" James replied in a rushed tone.

"Um, sure yeah. Well, um bye."

"See ya, Wormy." James said as he closed the door.

Coming out of view Sirius held the letter while Lily came into view holding little Andrew.

"Clingy, isn't he?" Sirius said twiddling the letter in his hands.

"Yeah, well this is serious, why would Lisa and Ray send Andrew through the floo alone?" Lily said watching Andrew stir in his sleep.

"Well let's open the letter and find out, shall we." Sirius replied, noting this wasn't the time for one of his 'Sirius/serious' jokes.

Carefully opening the note in his hands Sirius immediately released it when it floated in the air and formed a mouth.

"Lily, James I'm so sorry about this, but there's been a leak. Someone has tipped off Voldemort about our location, right now we're under attack. The wards Ray placed around the house and door are holding but won't for very long.

We're sending Andrew to you now I just hope something hasn't happened to you as well. We have planned for this, but I'm afraid we might not make out of this alive. If that's the case we have a few requests to ask you.

Firstly, we ask that that you adopt Andrew and formally change his name to Andrew Raymond Potter. If you accept, you need only touch him with your wand and say the following words, 'We, Lily and James Potter hereby accept to adopt Andrew Raymond George into the Honourable and Noble house of Potter as our son.'

We've already spoken to the Goblin's and placed a small tracker on him, if you accept to do this our vaults in Gringotts will automatically merge with your own making him your official son.

Secondly, we ask you raise him as your own son, we already know you'll do this but please, don't say anything about us until his old enough to know what has happened.

And lastly, please be careful, the mole got to us so please… AHH! The door's almost completely broken down, I've got to run, look after our boy. We trust no one more than you two, Sirius, Remus and Dumbledore. Peter I wouldn't trust him with a slice of ham.

Thank you for everything, bye."

The piece of parchment then tore itself to piece and lay on the ground in scraps, Lily was crying quietly and James and Sirius just looked at the bundle in Lily's arms before James reached for his wand and placed it on the small boy.

"What are you doing?" Lily asked in broken sobs.

"Fulfilling our friends wishes." He replied calmly as he placed the wand on the small boy and looking at Lily expectantly.

Lily balancing the sleeping boy on one arm pulled out her wand with the other before handing Andrew off to Sirius then placing her own wand on the boy.

"We, Lily and James Potter hereby accept to adopt Andrew Raymond George into the Honourable and Noble house of Potter as our son." They said in unison, they jumped back when a glow was emitted from the boy and a few seconds later a 'pop' was heard as a Goblin looked at the three stunned faces in front of him before speaking.

"Mister and Misses Potter, my name is RipFang. I am, was, the George's vaults manager. Since you have just adopted the young Mister Andrew, he is no longer a George but will now have all his records changed to Master Andrew Raymond Potter. Here is the new key to his joint vault with Master Harry and his new vault manager shall be Griphook." RipFang said handing them the small boys new vault key.

With that the small Goblin popped out of the house. Everything went silent. As the two Potters and Sirius stared at the key in James hand, the heard the sound of Andrew waking up snapped them out of their thoughts.

"Mummy, Dadda?" Andrew looked around searching for his parents. He continued calling their names; Lily looked at the small boy with tears in her eyes. Seeing this and wanting to give the two new parents a moment Sirius started going upstairs while trying to calm the boy down.

"Hey there little Andy, mummy and daddy are err, unavailable right now. How 'bout you spend some time with Harry, hey?" Sirius said to the child successfully calming his worry.

"'Awy?"

"That's right, Harry." Sirius said smiling at the small boy.

Meanwhile down stairs Lily and James were doing everything they could for their new little addition to the family.

"Slinky!" James called, a small 'pop' was heard and there stood the Potter's house elf.

"Yes, Master Jamesie?"

"Slinky, we need to organise a meeting with Griphook about renewing our will. Could set up a meeting for tomorrow?"

"Yes Master Jamesie, Slinky will let master Griphook know that you and Mistress Lily will be arriving tomorrow." The small house elf said cheerily.

"Thank you, Slinky." Lily said smiling at the small magical creatures before it disappeared.

Over the next couple days the Potter's, Sirius and Remus had their work cut out for them; James and Lily had to check in with the Goblins every now and again to ensure their will was being handled properly. Sirius and Remus had grown to love Andrew just as much as they loved Harry, but it constantly broke their hearts when the small boy walked around the house calling out for his parents. And Peter… no one had seen Peter since the night the George's were attacked.

Two weeks later at eight p.m. in the evening, James had just had Remus and Sirius over to help watch Harry and Andrew. Lily was upstairs in the kid's bedroom watching them play in the enlarged crib. The children's laughter stopped as Andrew started looking around frantically, and started hyperventilating, Lily was about to calm him down when she heard James's voice from downstairs.

"Lily! Grab Harry and Andy and get out now! Peter's betrayed us!"

Running to see what her husband had been talking about, she was blinded by a bright green light and the sound of a body dropping to the ground. Blinking the flash away from her eyes she then saw a cloaked figure look down at the lifeless body of her husband. Her blood went cold as she saw who her attacker was; red eyes stared at her before making a move towards her.

Lily sprinted towards the children's bedroom and closed the door, in her haste she put a locking charm on the door and watched the two boys in Harry's crib watch her closely.

"I-It's okay, everything's okay. Harry, Andrew I want you to know, that your father and I love you both. So very much. We love you with all our hearts, and Andrew, you will always be a Potter, look after your brother."

She whispered to the children and spun to look at the door to see that the cloaked figure break through her spell work and step towards her.

"Move woman." He sneered at her.

"No, no, no please kill me, leave Andrew and Harry."

"Out of my way, mud-blood my quarrel isn't with you!" he told her his voice laced with hatred.

"No! Leave them alone! Take me instead, spare them." She begged, tears streaking her face.

"It appears Severus was right about you, you are stupidly protective." He said in a whisper.

"Wha- Severus?"

Her question was left unanswered though when she her the man before her yell at the top of his lungs.

"Avada Kedavra!"

The last thing she saw was a green flash and out of the corner of her eye she saw the children's look genuine look of concern.

"M-mamma?" Harry squeaked out as he watched his mother's body fall to the ground.

"Mamma? Mamma!" Andrew yelled trying to get her to reply.

The chalky white man with red eyes stared at his two new targets; turning his wand on them he gave a toothy grin before yelling the curse he had just used on their mother, only to see the spell bounce off something and flash back at him, he was too close to cast a shield in time, he felt his own curse hit him and in an instant, darkness.

Andrew and Harry felt a very painful sting when the stranger in front of them shot a weird light at them and hit them on their hands, looking down at their hands; Harry saw a large scar on the top side of his left hand and Andrew noticed a big scar on the top side of his right hand. Hearing crying Andrew turned to see Harry crying and calling to their mommy. Then the next thing made Andrew even more confused as he saw a very dark haired man; not his uncle 'Paddyfot' but another man, he crawled over to his mommy and held her close before crying. Then everything went black.

Andrew woke up looking at a large man with a lot of hair carrying him and Harry, somewhere, but before he had a chance to say anything he felt his sleepiness take over him again, turning slightly he saw water below him, they were driving on water? He smiled and went back to sleep.

Harry opened his eyes when he heard voices, three voices actually, he opened his eyes a bit to see who was disturbing his sleep, Harry saw an old man with a long white beard, another only lady with curly brown hair and square glasses and a very big hairy man who gave him a prickly kiss on his forehead before blowing his nose loudly. Deciding not to dwell too much on it Harry reached out and took Andrew's hand; feeling a little better, Harry slipped back into unconsciousness.

Dumbledore watched the two small children dreading the fact that their lives will never be normal; they will bare the weight of the world on their shoulders. He wiped a tear away and watched the two boys holding hands, as he turned to leave something caught his eye something he hadn't noticed before, when Andrew and Harry placed their hands together a lightning bolt scar was visible on their hands; starting on Harry's left hand leading all the way to Andrew's right hand. Dumbledore gave a sad sigh, he thought Dumbledore had only marked Harry as his equal, but he had in fact marked both Harry and Andrew.

Both little boys were woken up by the sound of a shrill scream, opening their eyes they saw the sun was out and there was a skinny long necked woman staring at them. Taking them inside and reading a piece of paper that was attached to their blankets, she seemed quite cross about something, but Harry and Andrew had no idea why, they heard a shout and looked down to see a fat little boy wanting to see them.

Then a very, very, very fat man come into the room, after a few whispers with the skinny long neck lady, the very fat man looked angrily at Andrew and Harry, they wanted to know what the matter was, but didn't get a chance to ask before they were thrown into a small closet and watched as the door slammed shut.
