Chapter 1: THE BIGGEST MISTAKE

Voldemort entered the threshold after stunning James and Lily Potter. They had given more of a fight than he had imagined. He had a large gash on his left check and a bruise on his right leg. He had stunned them after that to torture them later. But right now he had a job to do. He entered the room and saw a crib. It contained a black haired boy of about 3 years old standing facing the bars of the crib staring defiantly at him. He had messy black hair, green almond eyes and a face which promised a heartthrob in the future. Voldemort glanced at the other boy, who was meant to be his downfall. He was a boy of nearly an year old. He had a tuft of red hair on his scalp and had warm brown eyes. He was currently crying clutching to his older brother's arm.

Voldemort had always hated crying kids, since his orphanage days. They used to remind him of that horrible place. So he decided that he would kill the smaller boy first. He trained his wand on the smaller boys forehead and said the words which would change the entire course of history of the Wizarding World.

"Avada Kedavra" He whispered.

Voldemort watched with joy as the green light sped towards the world when his whole world came crashing down upon him as the light rebounded upon him. His last thoughts as his soul was being ripped from his body were,
'You'll regret this Michael Potter. I will have my revenge'
What he didn't see was how Harry Potter jumped in front of his brother in front of the green light and it was him who had rebounded the curse towards Voldemort. And it was him who had a magical exhaustion and collapsed from the pressure of it. The moment the curse rebounded, he had a curse scar on his forehead which was hidden under his long hair. The fall of the debris caused a piece of wood scratch Michael's check and a V-shaped mark appeared there and it was from it that he starting wailing again.

Sirius Black wasn't having a good day. He had first visited Wormtail to see if he was fine or not, only to find his home empty. A feeling of dread had filled his stomach as he saw no signs of trouble. That could only mean one thing. Wormtail had betrayed them. He rushed to his bike and sped towards Godric's Hollow.

He left the bike outside the gate and rushed in. He found Lily and James' bodies in the living room. He rushed to them praying that they would be fine. He checked their pulses and to his immense relief and pleasure, found a pulse. He quickly enervated them and they opened their eyes.

"Harry! Michael!" were the names they shouted once they regained their senses. He joined them and rushed upstairs. He quickly rushed to his godson Harry's side. To his immense relief he found him sleeping. On the other corner he could hear Michael's cries and wailings so it could only mean that he was safe too.

They found a scar on Michael's left cheek. They floo called Albus Dumbledore so he could come and analyze what had happened here.

Dumbledore soon arrived and took in the whole scene. He walked over to the corner of the room where a cloak and wand lay. He picked them up and inspected them for a few moments. And then his face broke into a wide smile.

"May I announce that one of those boys defeated Voldemort today as the result of the prophecy though it is only temporary" He said.

Cheers and Congratulations were shared all over the room. He then asked,

"Does any one of them have any mark at all?" He asked with a grandfatherly expression.

"Michael has one on the left cheek, it looks like a curse scar!" Sirius said.

Dumbledore smiled and took young Michael into his arms and inspected him for a few moments. He ran his finger over the child's cheek and then returned him back to Lily.

He turned and opened his arms and spoke with a loud voice,

"I give you, Michael Potter, the Boy-Who-Lived!"

And thus the news spread about the defeat of the most powerful Dark Lord of all times by a young baby named Michael Potter.

Everyone soon forgot about young Harry, nobody bothered to check him for scars or check his magical ability, for they for sure would have been able to see the difference between the two.
They also failed to notice that Harry too was born on 31st July and he was too a candidate to the prophecy. Thus they made the biggest mistakes in their lives which would make a huge affect on the whole magical community.

A/N: Thanks for reading and please review for any mistakes and suggestions you wanna make!
It is my second fanfiction I have tried. I have read many WBWL fanfics but rarely any one of them is complete. My goal is to complete this fanfiction. I have compiled my favorite ideas in this fanfiction. I have always liked the pairing between Harry and Daphne.
For those who like James , Lily and Sirius, don't worry I'll write another fanfiction about the Marauders Era. I love them too.
