So, I'm just rewriting my story Raising the Rainbow(which was extremely short and is now deleted). I just love the idea of Alastor/Kingsley(Or MadKing? idk) and I really think there needed to be someone else in the series that went through what Harry faced. Neville still technically had his parents, even though they were permanently addled.

Also, yes, Order is present. I just don't see Andromeda and Ted Tonks ignoring the first war, after Andromeda basically told her family to shove it. Why else would Bellatrix hate her so much? I feel they should have been members of the first Order, honestly.

Snow was falling in thick flakes, drifting in the small breeze. The neighborhood was silent- the majority of the homes were unlived in as people had begun to hide in fear of the war. While the small town in question did have muggles, the neighbourhood in question seemed to have consisted of mostly wizard and witch filled homes.

The neighborhood was on the edge of the town, giving the witches and wizards more privacy from the muggles, giving them the chance to hide their magic.

Early January of 1978, a small family of three was living in one of the homes. While the parents kept clear of anything to do with the war, they made enemies after Hogwarts- mostly, their marriage in 1972 had earned them the hate and rage of Andromeda Black(now Tonks)'s oldest sister. After all, Bellatrix was striving to help Lord Voldemort to rid the world of Muggleborns and was utterly humiliated when her younger sister married one.

That was when Bellatrix and her husband took it upon themselves to 'cleanse' the family tree. They arrived late that night, to surprise the tiny family of three who had been seated in their sitting room by the roaring fire.

Blasting the door clean off its hinges, Bellatrix heard the surprised scream of her sister and the yell of the Mudblood who demanded the half blooded disgrace run from the intruders. Bellatrix spotted the girl running for the stairs as both her sister and the Mudblood raised their wands in an attempt to fight- but Bellatrix and Rodolphus were too fast.

"Crucio!" Bellatrix shrieked, aiming her wand at the young fair haired man who had disgraced her family. Rodolphus was quicker to kill, and Andromeda was already dead- the flash of green had been the first(and last) thing Andromeda saw of the intruders. "Find the girl, she ran upstairs. Deal with her." Bellatrix told Rodolphus. "I want to deal with the Mudblood."

Rodolphus looked down at the terrified child. Bellatrix had just finished her torture of the girl, when they heard noises below them. She straightened up, pressing her knife into his hand and striding towards the door of the bedroom.

"Rodolphus!" Bellatrix demanded as she left, "Kill the girl. I'll deal with whoever is down there." As soon as she was gone, Rodolphus looked at the knife, and at the crying girl.

"I won't kill a child." He said. "But if, when you're an adult, you are still fighting against the Dark Lord, I will kill you." He grabbed her arm, dragging the knife across her skin from her elbow to wrist. The girl screamed, and he clamped a hand over her mouth. "I must show her the bloody knife, she will think you dead. Stay silent, and you shall live."

The girl quieted down and he strode from the room, towards the battle below.

The Order had been alerted when the protective enchantments broke. Alastor Moody, Sirius Black, James Potter, Lily Evans(soon to be Potter) and Kingsley Shackelbolt were first to arrive. The Dark Mark loomed above the house as they all rushed forward.

Bellatrix met them as soon as they blasted the back door open. She laughed maniacally.

"Sirius Black? You filthy blood traitor! And another Mudblood!" She laughed as she saw Lily. "Ooh, this shall be fun! One Mudblood dead already, another to follow!"

James had stepped in front of Lily, and sent a Stunning Curse towards Bellatrix. She cast it away, laughing. Soon curses were rushing towards her from everyone, but she blocked them with ease. Rodolphus Lestrange appeared on the stairs. In the living room, two bodies were visible- both staring unseeing towards the ceiling.

"Bella, it is done." He said, raising a bloodied knife. "Leave this lot to clean our mess."

With that, he Disapparated. Bellatrix smiled at the group.

"Ah yes, what a fine idea. I'll let you clean up the remains of this filthy traitor family." She Disapparated as Moody sent one last curse towards her. It struck a wall, sending bits of plaster flying.

Sirius was the first to the stairs. "Nymphadora?" He yelled as he ascended. Lily followed, and finally the others followed as well.

"Nymphadora?" Sirius yelled again in the hallway. He checked her room, but it was empty. He spun, pushing roughly by Lily and swinging open the door to Ted and Andromeda's room.

The room was ransacked. In the corner behind the bed, a small six year old girl was hugging her knees to chest. Blood splattered the floor around her. She looked up, tears streaming her face.

A second later, Sirius scooped her up, clutching her to him. Blood from her arm soaked his shoulder, and he could feel Lily's gentle hands pulling her injured arm from around his neck so she could examine it.

"Bring Nymphadora to a safe house." Alastor said from the door. "There's no safety here and we'll need time to ensure she won't be handed over to her relatives."

"She'll come to my flat." Sirius said immediately.

"She'll come to us." Kingsley said. "We're her godfathers, Alastor, and we have the room. It'll be safe for her. Sirius, you already have Remus and Peter staying with you in that tiny flat."

Sirius opened his mouth to argue, but it hardly felt like the time or place. After all, in the room below them, his cousin and her husband were lying dead. And they had to get Nymphadora somewhere safe. He handed Nymphadora over to Kingsley, who nodded and left with Lily, who would be able to easily heal up her arm for her. Alastor, James and Sirius remained behind to bury Ted and Andromeda in the garden that Andromeda had tended daily. The same garden where Nymphadora had taken her first steps, and where Sirius had visited them many times.

Finally, just before dawn, they left the house behind, the muggle neighbours completely oblivious to what had just occured.
