Chapter 2: Chapter 1
So, I was chilling on the floor, six months old, and totally owning the cuteness game. My mom, Lily, was having a full-on fan-girl moment over me. "Well, hello there, my little wizard," she cooed, giving my cheeks a tickle that had me bursting into giggles like a pro.
Now, here's where things get a bit magical—literally. I reached for my dragon plushie, and bam! It starts floating in mid-air like it's auditioning for a spot in a magic show. I'm not saying it's super impressive, but let's be real—this is a major rookie move in the wizarding world.
Lily's eyes are sparkling like she's just seen the coolest thing since, well, magic itself. "Look at you, Harry!" she exclaims, all proud mom vibes. "You're doing magic already! You're going to be such a powerful wizard one day."
I couldn't agree more, if I could speak, that is. Instead, I just giggle and reach out to poke the floating plushie like it's the world's most interesting toy. Lily's grin could probably light up a whole city, and I'm pretty sure she's going to treasure this moment forever.
As we're having this perfect family moment, in walks James—aka Dad. He's leaning against the doorframe with this playful grin, like he's about to drop the ultimate dad joke. "I think someone's spoiling our little wizard a bit too much," he teases, clearly enjoying the show.
Lily rolls her eyes and gives him a mock scowl, but it's all in good fun. "Oh, hush, James," she retorts with a smile. "You know he's just too adorable to resist."
James chuckles, shaking his head as he crosses the room and scoops me up. As he cradles me in his arms, I can tell he's feeling all warm and fuzzy inside. Honestly, if I could say anything, I'd probably thank them for making me feel like the most loved baby in the universe.
So there we are, my mom and dad basking in the glow of family bliss while I enjoy my personal floating plushie show. Life is pretty sweet, even if I am still figuring out how to use my Kryptonian powers without causing too much chaos. But hey, one magic trick at a time, right?
—
So there I was, chilling with my parents in what could only be described as a Hallmark movie moment. My mom, Lily, was cooing at me like I was the cutest thing since baby pandas, and Dad, James, was grinning like he'd won the lottery. They were totally basking in the glory of me being their adorable, giggling baby. Life was good, right?
Then, out of nowhere, the Floo Network flared to life, like it was trying to outdo my baby charm. Dumbledore, the head honcho of Hogwarts, stepped out with an expression that looked like he'd just seen a dragon in his breakfast cereal.
"Headmaster Dumbledore!" Dad greeted him, sounding like he was both curious and a little bit nervous. "To what do we owe this unexpected visit?"
Dumbledore's face was all serious and somber, like someone had just told him that the magical equivalent of a meteor was heading straight for Earth. "James, Lily," he started, his voice like he was delivering the plot twist of a really intense soap opera, "there is something you must know. A prophecy has been made—one that concerns your family."
Okay, so this is where things started to get a bit heavy. My mom's grip on me tightened, her eyes wide with worry. Dad's jaw clenched like he was preparing for a duel. "What does the prophecy say?" he demanded, sounding like he was ready to face a dragon or worse.
Dumbledore sighed deeply, which is always a bad sign. "The prophecy speaks of a child born at the end of July, to parents who have thrice defied Voldemort," he explained. "It foretells that this child has the power to vanquish the Dark Lord, but that he will have a choice between good and evil."
Yup, that would be me they're talking about. My little baby self, who's apparently going to be the key to saving or dooming the wizarding world. No pressure, right?
Dad's face was a mix of pride and fear—like when you're told you're going to be a superhero but also that you have to fight a supervillain right away. "And Voldemort knows of this prophecy?" he asked, his voice tight.
Dumbledore gave a grave nod. "Yes, James. He seeks to eliminate the threat posed by this child, and he will stop at nothing to see his dark ambitions realized."
The room felt like it had just been hit by a magical tornado. Dad and Mom exchanged worried looks. I guess they were starting to realize that keeping me safe might be a bit more complicated than just baby-proofing the house.
Dad was having a major internal battle—pride in his super-powered baby (me) and fear for our future. And let's be honest, with me being part Kryptonian, there were definitely some extra layers to this prophecy. What if my powers made me more of a target? Or maybe they'd give me an edge against Voldemort?
But there was no time to dwell on the cosmic weight of it all. Dad's resolve was as firm as a rock. "We'll do whatever it takes to protect Harry," he said, sounding like he was ready to face off against an army of dark wizards. "No matter what the prophecy says, we'll stand by him and face whatever challenges come our way, together."
Mom nodded, her eyes bright with determination. I could almost see the resolve shimmering around her like a magical aura. With their family united and their love as their guiding light, they were ready to face whatever crazy adventures lay ahead.
And me? Well, I guess I'd be along for the ride, trying to figure out how to juggle being a super-powered baby and a key player in some epic prophecy. Just another day in the life of Harry Potter.
—
So, here's where things got real. Dumbledore was basically telling my parents they needed to disappear faster than a magician's rabbit. And as if that wasn't enough to freak them out, Mom had a lightbulb moment—well, a magical one, anyway.
"Okay, here's the deal," Mom said, her voice sharp with determination. "We're using the Fidelius Charm."
Now, to be honest, my baby brain wasn't exactly running on full power, but even I could tell that the Fidelius Charm sounded like some seriously heavy-duty magic. Mom explained it like she was laying out the rules for a top-secret spy mission. "It's a powerful enchantment that hides a secret within the soul of a trusted individual. Only those who know the secret can find the hidden location."
Dad's face lit up with something that looked a lot like hope. The Fidelius Charm was like their magical equivalent of a top-secret bunker, designed to keep Voldemort from crashing their party.
With a nod of approval from Dumbledore—who, by the way, was looking like he'd just had his morning tea spiked with a heavy dose of bad news—Mom dove into the nitty-gritty details. She wasn't just talking about waving a wand and saying some fancy words; this was serious business. They needed to choose someone trustworthy, a true BFF or family member, to be their Secret Keeper.
This Secret Keeper would be the only one who could spill the beans about where my parents were hiding. Kind of like having a secret weapon in a game, except this weapon was a person with the power to keep Voldemort from tracking them down.
As they went over the plan, Dad's resolve solidified. He wasn't about to let anything—or anyone—get in the way of keeping me safe. And Mom? Well, she was all in, ready to do whatever it took to keep our little family safe and sound.
So there we were, on the brink of some serious magical maneuvering, all set to execute a charm that was basically the wizarding world's version of a high-stakes hide-and-seek. And me? I was just hanging out, soaking in all the drama and hoping this whole plan would work out. Because let's face it, life as the magical baby with a Kryptonian twist was about to get even more complicated.
—
So, after Dumbledore made his grand exit, leaving my parents alone to ponder their next move, things got a bit intense. Dad was pacing like he was on a hot tin roof, while Mom was watching him with that "I know something's bothering you" look.
Dad finally broke the silence. "Lily," he said, sounding like he'd just walked off a particularly intense battle scene from a movie, "I can't help but wonder if Dumbledore's game plan is really going to cut it."
Mom tilted her head, clearly trying to make sense of Dad's mood. "What do you mean?" she asked, like she was bracing for one of Dad's epic rants.
Dad sighed, clearly channeling his inner drama king. "Using non-lethal spells? Sure, it sounds noble and all, but is it actually working? The Death Eaters aren't exactly known for their restraint. They go straight for the kill, and if we keep holding back, we're just painting a bullseye on ourselves."
Mom's face tightened a bit. "I get it," she said, her voice a mix of concern and exasperation. "But Dumbledore's whole thing is about love and forgiveness. Maybe he sees something we don't—like a way to end this without sinking to the level of those we're fighting."
Dad's frustration was practically bubbling over. "I'm tired of letting people like Bellatrix Lestrange walk free," he said, his voice dripping with resolve. "We're playing nice while they're sharpening their wands for another attack."
Mom nodded, her face showing a mix of empathy and frustration. "I get it, James. But we have to keep believing that there's a better way to fight this, even if it means risking a few bruises on our principles."
Dad looked like he was wrestling with his own inner demons. "I want to believe that, Lily," he said, sounding like he was trying to convince himself. "But every time we hold back, it's like we're just waiting for the next attack."
Mom reached out and placed a comforting hand on Dad's arm. "I know it's tough, James. But we have to trust ourselves and each other. We can't let fear or anger take the wheel. We have to believe that we can make a difference."
Dad seemed to take a deep breath, his expression shifting from frustration to a steely determination. "You're right," he said, his voice more resolute. "I'll talk to Sirius about this. Remus might not get where I'm coming from, and Peter's too much of a wuss to be much help. But Sirius—he gets it. He'll understand."
With Mom's support, Dad felt like he had a new lease on his fighting spirit. Together, they were ready to face whatever dark forces lay ahead. As they prepared for the battles to come, Dad was sure that with Sirius by his side, they'd find a way through the mess without losing themselves along the way. And me? I was just hoping that this epic quest would somehow include some super-powered baby playtime.
—
As Halloween 1981 rolled in, the atmosphere in Godric's Hollow felt electric with tension, and guess what? I was right in the middle of it, at a ripe 15 months old. Mom was practically vibrating with worry as she paced around the cottage. Dad and Sirius were out on a dangerous mission, and Mom's anxiety was like a thunderstorm about to break.
I was sprawled on the floor, my tiny hands gripping my dragon plushie. Now, I know you might think I was just a regular baby, but my dragon plushie was floating around thanks to my accidental magic. Even as a baby, I had a flair for the dramatic.
Mom was trying to keep it together, but every creak in the floorboards or gust of wind sent her into a panic. I could see her darting glances at the clock and the window, biting her lip, her worry almost palpable. I figured that's what happens when your husband and best friend are out fighting off Dark Lords and Death Eaters.
She did her best to focus on me, and honestly, I was a pretty good distraction with my giggles and the way I'd stare at my floating dragon in awe. But even with me being a magical delight, Mom couldn't shake her fear.
Dad and Sirius were out there, battling darkness and saving lives, including families like the Bones and the McKinnons. And here's Mom, her love and pride for them so strong that it felt like an actual force field in the room. She was waiting, hoping, and praying for their safe return, all while being my favorite playmate and superhero.
The clock seemed to crawl, each minute stretching into what felt like an eternity. Mom's concern was mixed with admiration for Dad and Sirius, who were out there being the brave heroes of the day. And she wasn't just hoping they'd come back; she was fighting for a future where courage and justice would beat out the forces of darkness.
So, while I was just a little bundle of 15-month-old energy, floating dragon toys and all, Mom was holding onto hope with all her might. It was a night of high stakes and even higher emotions. And through it all, Mom's fierce determination and love shone bright, a beacon in the dark.
—
Okay, picture this: it's Halloween 1981, and I'm all of 15 months old. The night's been pretty chill—well, as chill as a night can be when you're a baby with magical accidents happening every few minutes. Then Mom's radar, which seems to have a built-in panic mode, suddenly starts going off like crazy.
One minute I'm playing with my dragon plushie, and the next, Mom's face is as pale as a ghost. She's sprinting to my room like she's in some kind of high-stakes obstacle course, her worry levels through the roof. Why? Because it turns out Voldemort, the Dark Lord with a name that sounds like a really bad sneeze, is outside our cottage. Yeah, not great news.
Mom's freaking out, and understandably so. The sound of Voldemort's voice is like nails on a chalkboard, only colder and way scarier. Mom's brain is in overdrive, thinking about all the terrible things that might happen. She's also fuming about Peter Pettigrew—our so-called Secret Keeper—who's apparently betrayed us in the most spectacularly awful way possible. Thanks a lot, Peter.
Now, in a scene that's like something out of an action movie, Mom's hands are shaking as she's trying to finish up a protective ritual she's been working on for a while. And, of course, while she's doing all this, I'm having a full-blown baby meltdown.
She scoops me up, and I'm thinking, "Oh great, now what?" She's holding me close, tears mixing with my own baby sobs. "Shh, Harry, shh," she's saying, trying to comfort me with all the love in the world. "It's going to be alright, sweetheart. Mommy's here, and I'll keep you safe, no matter what."
Despite the chaos outside, she's focusing on me, which, honestly, makes me feel like the luckiest baby in the world. She's rocking me back and forth, whispering sweet nothings while trying to make sure I'm okay. In that moment, it's like the world outside fades away, and all that's left is the warmth and love from Mom.
And let me tell you, as a baby who's not exactly understanding the full gravity of the situation, having that kind of comfort means everything. I might not know what's coming, but with Mom holding me, I know I'm in the safest place I could be.
So, there we are, a mother's love battling against the dark and a baby just trying to figure out what's happening. It's intense, it's emotional, and it's as real as it gets. In the end, Mom's fierce determination to keep me safe is the strongest thing in the room, and that's all that matters right now.
—
Okay, picture this: it's Halloween night, and my mom, Lily, is holding me so tight it's like I'm her personal teddy bear. We're in our cozy little cottage, and the mood is suddenly less "pumpkin spice latte" and more "dark lord invasion."
Enter Voldemort, looking like he's been taking style tips from a haunted house. He sweeps into the room with the kind of entrance that makes you wish you'd stayed in bed with your teddy bear. His eyes are cold enough to freeze a cauldron of chocolate, and his wand is aimed at us like it's the last piece of candy at a Halloween party.
Mom's voice is shaky but determined as she pleads with him. "Please, leave my son alone. Take me instead." You gotta admire her bravery. If it were me, I'd be thinking, "Can we negotiate? Maybe a trade?"
Voldemort doesn't seem interested in negotiation. He sneers and tells her to step aside. "The boy must die," he says. Classic villain line, right? No creativity, just straight to the point.
Now, I'm looking up at Mom, my tiny baby eyes probably as wide as saucers. She's clutching me like I'm a prize in a claw machine, and her determination is basically radiating off her. She's not letting Voldemort touch a hair on my head.
"No," she says, her voice trembling but firm. "I won't let you harm him. If you want to kill someone, then kill me. But leave Harry alone."
I'm thinking, "Wow, Mom really loves me." But then, Voldemort raises his wand, and things are about to get really intense. He's going for the Killing Curse, and I'm bracing for impact like it's the final boss battle in a video game.
But then—BAM! Golden light floods the room. I'm talking major Hollywood special effects here. Two golden beams hit Voldemort, and suddenly, he's not just defeated; he's been obliterated. I'm talking "poof, gone" levels of obliteration.
Mom's eyes go wide as she looks at me, her face a mix of shock and awe. My eyes are glowing with golden light, and it's like I've turned into some kind of magical lantern. The darkness that was about to consume us is pushed back by my sudden burst of power.
Mom scoops me up, tears streaming down her face as she hugs me tight. "You saved us," she whispers, and I'm sitting there thinking, "Well, I guess that's one way to spend a Halloween."
So, as Mom holds me close, all I can think about is how weird and wonderful this night has turned out to be. Halloween might be the holiday for scary stories, but apparently, it's also a time for unexpected heroics and golden glow-ups.
—
So, there I was, still glowing like a human disco ball, while my mom was holding me as if I were the world's tiniest superhero. The room was a bit of a mess—Voldemort's remains looked like someone had thrown him into a blender, and my eyes were still shining like I'd just found a magical power-up.
Then, the door swung open with the kind of dramatic flair you only see in blockbuster movies, and in burst my dad, James, and Sirius, his best mate. They looked like they'd been running a marathon, and their faces were a mix of panic and sheer confusion.
James's eyes were as wide as saucers as he took in the scene: Voldemort's destruction, my dazzling golden gaze, and Mom's face that was streaked with tears. "What happened?" he asked, his voice trembling like someone who'd just found out their favorite superhero was actually a supervillain.
Sirius, ever the dramatic sidekick, stepped in with the kind of awe usually reserved for discovering the last slice of pizza. "We heard a commotion and came as fast as we could," he said, his eyes glued to my glowing eyes. "But we didn't expect...this."
Mom, still hugging me like I was a priceless artifact, looked up at them, her own eyes shining with amazement. "It was Harry," she said softly, almost like she was still trying to process everything. "He saved us."
James and Sirius exchanged a look that said, "Are we in a comic book right now?" They seemed to be trying to wrap their heads around the fact that this little golden-eyed baby (yours truly) had somehow turned the tide in a battle they'd thought was hopeless.
They stood there, a bit dumbstruck but clearly in awe. It was like the universe had hit the pause button on their brains.
James took a deep breath, like he was about to deliver some earth-shattering news. "Lily," he started, his voice a mix of nervousness and determination. "There's something we need to tell you."
Sirius, looking all serious and grown-up, stepped closer. "It's about Harry," he added, his tone making it clear that this was one of those "buckle up, things are about to get wild" moments.
Mom looked at them with wide eyes, probably wondering if she'd missed some major plot twist. "What is it?" she asked, her voice barely a whisper as if the very air was holding its breath.
James and Sirius shared a quick glance, like they were preparing to drop a truth bomb. Then James, with all the gravitas of a superhero about to reveal their secret identity, said, "Harry isn't just an ordinary child. He's...different."
And that was when I realized: not only had I just saved the day, but there was a whole lot more to my story than a simple baby blanket and bedtime stories.
