A/N: Okay, so this is my new story idea, my 'baby' as it were ;] This chappy is in third person, but the rest should be from someone's perspective.

October 31st 1981

Bella and Harry were upstairs in the latter's nursery while Lily, James and Evangeline sat talking down in the lounge. They were enjoying a short get together for Halloween, though Sirius being busy thereby created his absence. Suddenly, the front door burst open, revealing the Dark Lord himself. James already had a plan worked so that if this ever were to happen then they would be ready.

"Lily, Ange," he yelled, "take Harry and Bella and go! It's him! Go! Run! I'll hold him off –"

With a backward glance toward her husband, Lily ran up the stairs, Evangeline close behind her. They raced inside the nursery and over to the babies in little Harry's crib. A large explosion could be heard from downstairs and then there were the feather light footsteps of a fast approaching figure. Evangeline kissed her daughter on the head, stroking down the soft hair, and then went to make sure the door was firmly locked – though she knew it was a useless defence. Behind her, she heard Lily speak to the babes softly.

"Children, you are so loved. So loved. Mother loves you, Daddy loves you," she whispered, tears flowing gently down her cheeks. "Children, be safe; be strong."

And then everything happened so quickly…

"Avada Kadavra!" He Who Must No Be Named yelled, wielding his wand expertly. That was the moment in which Lily Potter and Evangeline Black died; their last breath a scream and plea for their child.

However, when he turned to inflict the same fate on the two infants, it did not work. With nought but a mark on their foreheads, the children were perfectly safe and very much alive. The spell backfired upon the Dark Lord – and he vanished, not to be seen anywhere for years to come.

Left all alone in Godric's Hollow, innocent Harry Potter and Isabella Black sat side by side: a position that would remain for the rest of their lives.

A/N: (December 2011 Update) This chappy has been checked for mistakes, but I apologise if you still find some! I'm in the process of going over all the chapters, so at some point my writing will start being terrible again before slowly getting better :P
