the attack

Godric's Hollow July 31, 1988

The summer storm died down giving the night skies a clear view of the stars above. It was a sultry evening, however not too hit of a night as a cool breeze flowed through the beautiful small home hearing a baby crying through the upstairs window.

James heard the crying and told Severus Snape that he had to go and check on the kids. Snape nodded his head of agreement.

"Which one is it this time?" James inquired with a sly grin on his face.

"It is Harry again James. You would think that he would get into the routine of sleeping throughout the night," Lily answered with a sigh heading upstairs to the twins nursery.

"Need some help?" James offered to give her at least a break from the kids.

"No, no I got him, I believe he has a habit of wanting to be held before he goes to dream land," Lily explained with a little giggle.

Snape told James that he had to get back to Hogwarts.

Five minutes later the night sounds suddenly ceased to leaving an eerie silence. At the end of the street, a person dressed in white black robes suddenly appeared holding an object within his hand. He held the object up facing the street lamps, extinguishing them out one by one until the last one went out.

A minute later he was met by several others dressed in the same materials walking quietly towards the small family home surrounding the perimeter, making sure no one escaped the home.

They waited patiently making sure they were not seen by anyone within the house until.one in particular appeared before them wearing the blackest tone, eyes blood shot red, at the home. He withdrew his wand muttering out a charm...

"Kaboom!" The door blasted open shattering in half. James ran out of the living room to investigate the noise seeing the man slowly walk inside with his wand ready.

Lily ran out of the nursery, standing at the top of the stairs, "James!" She yelled in complete horror. James looked up at her quickly, "Lily! Grab Ruby and Harry and go!" He shouted taking out his want to defend himself and his family.

The man gave out an evil laugh pointing his wand at James, "Not fast enough Potter! Good bye!" He yelled before sending off a charm. "Avarda Kedavra!" He shouted hitting James squarely in the back just as he started to head up the stairs. Lily watched in sheer horror seeing James go down in a dead the before running back to the nursery.

She locked the door tight with a strong locking charm, and then went to a crib on the right side of the room, where Ruby was sound asleep.

How can she sleep through all of this noise. Lily thought of her daughter sleeping through the attack from one of most feared wizard of them all.

"Harry hush sweetie, lay beside your sister Ruby," Lily tried to soothe her young son putting him beside her daughter.

The man stood outside of the room muttering the charm once more blasting the nursery door open with such force, that it flew across the room hitting the floor. He walked inside holding out his wand at Lily in warning just as she whirled around standing in front of the twins, protecting them both from the evil dark lord.

"Please! Not my babies!" Lily begged mercifully to him.

"Step aside woman!" The dark lord demanded readying his wand towards the twins. Both babies wailed loudly at the moment in high pitches flailing their tiny arms.

"No! Not my babies! Not Harry and Ruby please!" She begged once more staying in place facing him, keeping him away from the twins.

"Either step aside or be next!" The dark lord yelled out his order seeing her shake her head in a negative response.

He pointed his wand at her, "Then so be it!" He hissed menacingly, "Avada Kedavra!" He shouted as the green light hit Lily in the chest area. She fell in a heap, lifeless; the only sounds left were the twins screaming for their mother to old them.

"Goodbye Potters!" He hissed pointing his wand at their little heads while they continued to scream, sending out the death curse that had just killed their parents.

Suddenly a green light shot out from his wand, only instead of it hitting the twins, it back fired onto him.

12:00 a.m. August 1, 1988 Hogwarts

Dumbledore sat behind his silence, his face solemn from what he was received. Severus Snape ran into the room, panicking. Wishing that he didn't leave the Potter's residence.

"James, Lily, the kids. They did not deserve this," he sighed miserably over the news. He sat in deep thought while his Phoenix Fawkes sat independently upon his perch looking at his old companion before he sung out a small melody.

"Hadgrid!" He called into the fire waiting patiently.

"Yes Professor Dumbledore?" Hagrid responded to the old headmaster of Hogwarts.

"Hagrid, I have just been told some terrible news, the Potter home was invaded tonight by the dark lord, it seems there were no survivors.

"Oh no! Not James and Lily! Not 'Arry and Ruby!" Hagrid bellowed out in shock letting out a loud whimper.

"Afraid so Hagrid,however I need to you to go there to investigate the matter at hand to be sure. Bring back any survivors just in case," Dumbledore requested to the big half giant.

"Righ' away Professor!" Hagrid promised as his head left the fireplace.

Godric's Hollow 12:05 a.m.

A loud sound came from the skies as a beam of light came out from no where bringing the sound closer to its destination. A big curly man appeared out of nowhere in front of the Potter home.

Hagrid lifted his head looking around the area making sure that he was not seen by the neighbors staying alert in case someone was still there investigating the scene. He found James on the floor by the staircase, lifeless. A small tear ran down his cheek. He let out a sniff wiping his face continuing his search.

When he found nothing downstairs, he made his way upstairs quietly, checking out the rooms one by one until he headed into the nursery finding the dark lords lifeless body as well as Lily's. He continued the search getting ready to leave the room when he ears a tiny whimper, he turned back round. The sound came from one lonely crib; he took a look in the one on the left side of the room...empty.

He shook his head confused, at first until he heard two sets of wails heading from the second crib, he then peered over it. There before his eyes were the kids, Ruby was whimpering while Harry did the wailing, crying for their mother.

Hagrid let out a quick whoop of joy finding that at last so,Rome had still survived the tragedy for, within the home soothing the kids softly, calming them both down, he lifted them up into his arms one at a time heading giggles from the on in his right arm.

"Oh now I'm funny Ruby...aw you sweet little darlin'," Hagrid chuckled softly to the oldest child by five minutes, then looked at the other. Hagrid started playfully getting the youngest twin by five minutes to laugh as well while he headed out the door.

"Don't yew two worry now they sleeping now. No worries," Hagrid assures the baby twins heading out the front door he heard a loud noise from the skies looking in the direction of where it was coming from.

A motorcycle landed just a few feet from where Hagrid stood, Hagrid signed knowing who the passenger was.

"Sirius, yew are not supposed to be here," Hagrid exclaimed to the person after seeing him get up from the motorcycle.

"I had to come Hagrid! I had to see if the news was true!" Sirius Black replied lookin at the invaded home.

"It's true Sirius. James and Lily are gone," Hagrid informed him.

"Hagrid let me take them." Sirius pleaded to the giant, his eyes on the babies while they slept peacefully wrapped in one soft pink and baby blue blankets.

"I 'ave strict orders from Dumbledore. I 'can let you have them," Hagrid explained to Sirius.

"Then at least take my motorcycle Hagrid, it may be loud but it is faster and safer getting there on it. I eve have two seats inside for Ruby and Harry." Sirius offered him.

Hagrid hopped onto the loud contraption while Sirius explained that they were used to it and would stay ore he took off back to Hogwarts.
