*Author's Note*: Hey, so I've rewritten this whole story. I started this story all the way back when I was 14, and now that I'm 19, I want to go back and improve upon what I've written. Reading it was painful, seeing how many mistakes I made both grammatically and plot wise and that gave me the sudden inspiration to finally improve and continue this story, so thank you all for being patient with me.
Chapter 1: Is that a Lightning Bolt?
It was a beautiful day in Godric's Hollow. The sun was shining, the birds singing a happy melody, and if you stepped outside city limits you would come across complete and utter chaos. England was now constantly being attacked by the evil wizard Lord Voldemort, or as James Potter and the rest of his friends liked to call Ol'e Voldy Moldy Wart. James along with Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and wife Lilly, were part of the Order, an organization whose goal was to stop Voldemort.
As they all enjoyed one of their few days of quiet together at Potter manner, they had no idea that their leader, Albus Dumbledore, was at the moment working on a top secret plan.
'This is the day', he thought, 'Today, I will call forth the one who will stop this madness.'
There was a prophecy made just a month ago about how the one that would defeat Voldemort. It stated that "The one who lived will travel across worlds and defeat the great evil that plagues the love within." No doubt the great evil is Voldemort. Dumbledore was the only one who had heard this prophecy and knew it was best kept a secret.
He was adding the last of the ingredients to the potion that he believed would call the savior of the wizarding world. His mind kept on thinking of how life would change once Voldemort was gone. The children could return home from Hogwarts and not be afraid. The constant paranoia that under everyones sleeve was the dark mark would cease to exist. 'The perfect world,' he thought.
With a swish of his hand and 2 phoenix feathers, the potion was done at last. Now, all that was needed, was the simple incantation that Dumbledore created especially for this occasion.
"Leamores Qurem Cineques Loreafta"
The potion began to bubble madly, to the point where Dumbledore had to stand back in order to protect himself from the intense heat being emitted. However, as soon as this reaction started, it stopped. To Dumbledore's disappointment, this was the only spectacular thing that happened; certainly no one had appeared. Dumbledore stood there for a moment, trying to absorb his failure.
Back at Godric's Hollow, James and Lily Potter were still enjoying the nice, quiet day at Potter Manor with their 16 year old son, Harry, 13 year old daughter, Marie, and the rest of the Marauders. It was one of those few days they could all spend time together since James was an Auror, and Harry and Marie in Hogwarts. But today was the first day of the Summer Holiday, which was bittersweet for the elder potters. As happy as they were to have their children with them at home, they knew that Hogwarts was still the safest place for them to be.
"We should speak to Dumbledore about strengthening the wards around the manor," James mentioned to Lily, as casually as he could since Marie was in the room playing around with some knick-knack that looked suspiciously like a pair of rubber ears...James would have to remember to ask his normally mischievous daughter about it.
"James, we've out-warded ourselves from last year. I don't know if there is a ward or charm that hasn't already been put on this house. We just have to keep our hopes in what we have." Lily told her husband as she put her hand reassuringly on James' shoulder before she got up to check on dinner in the kitchen.
"Hey Prongs, let's focus on some fun! Do you think that we should teach Harry that prank we pulled the first week of our third year?" Sirius asked, eager to cloud over the somber mood with some of his antics.
"Nope, we already taught him that one, along with everyone other prank we ever did you idiot." James jokingly pointed out, whacking Sirius on the head.
"Where is Harry anyway?" asked Remus. "Don't tell me he is at that Chang girl's house again! He spends way too much time there. He was barely home all Winter Holiday." Remus pointed out.
"At least you get to see him at school, Professor Lupin," James said with a hint of jealously in his voice.
"He's not with Cho, the self proclaimed mini Marauder is in his room planning his prank for the first day back that he says is going to change the world. I'll be surprised if it even changes the scowl on Snape's face." replied Marie, who had decided to join the conversation, in a very bored voice.
"Harry James Potter! Bring you and your plans down here this instant so we can help!" James yelled out.
As quick as he was called, Harry was in the living plans and all. There was a smirk on his face that he had only while planning a prank, which was quite often.
"Hey, you guys would never believe..."Harry had begun to say but quickly stopped. He had gotten a sick look to his face as he clutched his bare forehead and started to moan out in pain. James, Sirius, and Remus stared at Harry with horror for a second before they rushed to Harry's side to find out what was causing Harry so much pain. At that moment Lily ran into the room demanding to know what was going on. But no one had a chance to tell her. Suddenly Harry's cries got even even louder. Then the screaming stopped. Harry had passed out. That's when they all noticed why Harry had been clutching his forehead. Sirius was the first to say something.
"Is that a lightning Bolt?"
