Summary: What if Dumbledore was so bent on having the prophecy he heard come true that he made a deal with Voldemort that he could hand over the Potters Voldemort is still the one who does the “killing curse” on Harry, James and Lilly. You’ll see why killing curse was put in quotes. Just read and find out.
Prologue: Harry is Lost
“Hello Tom,” said a light and airy voice that Voldemort would have recognized anywhere.
“DUMBLEDORE!!!” hissed Voldemort with the fury of a thousand dragons on his face.
“Yes,” he replied with a look as calm as a breeze, “and I know what you’re thinking Tom. You’re trying to figure out how you want to kill me when we both know that is impossible”
“Fine”, said Voldemort with anger etched in his face. “What do you want?”
“The same thing that you want Tom the same thing that you want; I want the Potters and their son dead.” replied Dumbledore with the same smile on his face
“Really, I thought they were your Golden couple. You know the one that you prided yourself on the most.”
“I have my reasons why I want them dead,” said Dumbledore with the same smile he had worn since he first arrived. “I can give you the Potters and all you will need to do is go to their house and kill them,” he said again with the same smile.
“All right so where are they,” replied Voldemort with a slight a smirk on his face
“Not so fast before I reveal their location I want to give you a spell that will kill them that can’t be picked up by the Priori Incantanum,” said Dumbledore with a smirk
“What is it?” asked Voldemort with a gleam in his eye.
“The spell is Hanta imasnien,” said Dumbledore, “and the Potters location is Godric’s Hollow.”
With that Dumbledore turned to leave but just before he exited he turned and said, “The password to the question is Lemon Drops” “Oh, and Tom here is one of my hairs for the Polyjuice Potion you have all ready made”, and with that he was gone. Voldemort just looked shocked
“How did he know that I had Polyjuice Potion all ready made?” thought Voldemort with a shock. “No matter now to the business at hand” he said to himself.
________________________________________________________________________
James and Lilly were in hiding at Godric’s Hollow. They knew that Voldemort was looking for them. What they didn’t know was that night, October 31st they were going to lose more then they ever dreamed. They would lose their son.
James and Lilly were in the lounge with Harry, when they heard a knock at the door of their very spacious abode. They both knew that it could only be one of two people at their door. One was Peter Pettigrew, their secret keeper, and the other was their former headmaster.
“See who’s at the door dear,” said Lilly still holding Harry, who looked at his mother with identical eyes like hers. She went back to playing with Harry.
“Right,” said James cautiously. He slowly pulled his wand out of his robes as he went to the door. Slowly, he looked through the eye hole of the door. He saw it was Albus, their former headmaster, however, just to be sure he said to the door, “Albus, what is your favorite muggle sweet?” Albus knew that this was the security question that he and the Potters had worked out to make sure that it was him.
He replied very calmly, “Its lemon drops my dear boy”
James wrenched opened the door to look at the old man, who had a smile pasted across his face. James held open the door to allow the man to enter.
“Hello Albus,” said Lilly in a sweet voice.
“Hello my dear. How are you and Harry doing?” said Albus with a glint in his blue eye that did not suit him.
“We’re fine,” she said sweetly.
“Good, good,” said Dumbledore with another glint in his blue eye.
“Albus, are you feeling all right,”asked James with wary look
“Actually, my dear boy now that you mention it there is something the matter” said Albus with a malicious grin, and with that the potion wore off. Before their very eyes, the headmaster changed. In seconds, where had once stood Albus Dumbledore now stood Lord Voldemort. He turned and faced James.
James looked in shock as he saw the blood red eyes and the snake slit nose of the man who they had escaped from the last time, for the last time.
“Hello James,” hissed Voldemort with coldness in his voice that only he could pull off.
Lilly was in such shock that only when Voldemort said that did she scream and head towards her husband with Harry in her arms.
James took one look at her and said, “Lilly run, and get Harry out of here. Don’t you worry about me just go and get out. I’ll be fine.”
“No I won’t leave you!!!” screamed Lilly.
“Lilly, don’t fight me just go,” said James with a note of finality in his voice that made Lilly finally concede to her husband. With that she ran from the lounge and left James to certain doom.
“Such sentimental true love,” laughed Voldemort coldly, as Lilly exited. Now prepare to die.
“Not yet you snake,” replied James with a smile.

Up in Harry’s room Lilly was frantically searching for the Floo Powder that she had hidden in the room
“Shit,” she said to herself. “Where is it?” “I know I put it here somewhere” Ah ha here it as she found where the sack was.
That is when she heard it. CRASH!!! Then she heard a maniacal burst of laughter and then nothing. She had just reached Harry when she heard the door be blown apart
In stepped Voldemort with a cold gleam in his eyes. He walked into the room and looked at Lilly white face and said “Stand aside you silly girl I came for the boy”
No don’t kill Harry. “Kill me!!!” “Just don’t kill him!!!”
“STAND ASIDE AND LET ME KILL THE BOY,” yelled Voldemort
“NO!!!!!” screamed Lilly
“I’ll give you one more chance STAND ASIDE OR DIE!!!” yelled Voldemort
Lilly just looked determinedly at him.
“THEN DIE!!!” he ferociously spat at her, and with a flick of his wand he yelled “HANTA IMASNIEN!”
With that Lilly Potter body crumpled to the floor lifeless. Voldemort then turned his attention to baby Harry who silently stared at his mother’s killer.
“Ah, well Harry I am glad to at least have seen you my, "would be down fall".” “Now die” said Voldemort with a smirk, and with another wave of his wand, he roared “AVADA KEDAVRA.”
With that a green light issued from Voldemort wand, but to his shock the cruse just touched Harry and left him with a scar and it was sent back to Voldemort, who had just enough time to mouth, “What the HELL!!! I am going to get you back Dumbledore” before he fell lifeless, and his sprit fled
Just then a tiny “pop” is heard, and Albus steps up to the unconscious, but still alive body of James, he checks his pulse and whispers, “James I am sorry this has to be done to you. Your son is the one who will truly destroy Voldemort. I am asking you when the time comes please try to understand my reasons why I am doing this to you and Lilly. I will not totally wipe your memories of Harry. He, however, will have his memory modified to believe you are dead, and that you were killed tonight, but all he’ll remember is a flash of green light. When the time comes he will learn that you alive and well.” I will tell him, and I hope he will understand why I did it.” With a flick of his wand he simply said, “Partio Obliviate.” “Now you have had a son who has been killed and you and your wife Lilly are going to move to America and live there for eighteen years. At the end of eighteen years you are going to move back here to England. You will not know why or for what for, yet you are going to seek me out and everything will be known.”
He then moved on to Lilly, and told her the same thing. Finally, he went to Harry and was heard whispering two words. “I’m sorry” was all that was heard before the word “Obliviate” was heard. Then more whispers were heard and he left to collect Lilly and James’ bodies.
Then, three tiny “pops” were heard, and Lilly, James and Dumbledore were gone and thus Harry was left all alone with the memory that his parents died that night, not knowing in fact they were just waking up in the infirmary at Hogwarts with a grief stricken Dumbledore by their side.

“WHAT DO YOU MEAN HARRY IS DEAD!!!” yelled James as Dumbledore told him what occurred just a few hours before at Godric's Hollow. Lilly was just in shock, tears streaming down her face looking from her husband to her former headmaster.
“Just what I said James, he, Harry is dead. He died tonight during Voldemort’s attack.”, answered a very solemn looking Dumbledore.
“No,” said Lilly in a whisper, the shock of what happened struck her so much that she didn’t even have the strength to yell her anguish at the man she had trusted to keep them safe. Finally, the dam holding back her emotions burst and she let out an anguished yell that would have woken up the whole castle and Madame Pomfrey, if Dumbledore hadn’t put silencing wards around the hospital wing as soon as he got to Hogwarts.
“WHY!?” was all that Lilly said. “WHY HARRY?!”
“I have my suspicions as to why Harry was killed,” said Dumbledore still solemn. “Now if you’ll excuse me I have some other business to take care of. I know that you and James would like to be alone so you can grieve and come to a decision to what to do next. James, Lilly,” he said with a sad expression. Then he turned to leave, yet when he reached the door he turned around and said “ James, Lilly you know I think that you two should go somewhere to help you grieve I know how about America. It is always lovely this time of year, especially the mountain states in the west and besides Britain, America has the biggest population of wizard around.”
All of a sudden both sets of eyes went glassy as the Obliviate spell took hold.
“What were we talking about?,” asked James
“I don’t remember,” responded Lilly
“You were telling me that you and Lilly planned to move to America to get away from the painful memories of your dead son Harry, who died not too long ago said Dumbledore with a sad smile across his face.”
“Really?” asked James and Lilly quizzically.
Yes responded Dumbledore with a twinkle in his eye
“Then, I guess we better get packed!” said an excited Lilly, “I have always wanted to see America.”
“Yes well Lilly and James good evening,” said Dumbledore with and with that left but not before whispering, yet another “I’m sorry,” to them. With that he finally exited the hospital wing and went to find Minerva and Hagrid.
A/N I know don’t kill me I mean I gave you guys 7 pages double space which I know doesn’t seem like a lot but TRUST ME when you’re the one WRITING the story seven pages double space is a lot. But anyway please review it I hope you like it otherwise I’ll discontinue it and just write it for myself. Oh and don’t worry Harry will find out about his parents before he’s eighteen I just haven’t decided when though so if anyone has any ideas about it and if you want to fix grammatical stuff just email me and also don’t worry the sex and other stuff is coming I just need to a ground for the story so that is why there was no sex in this one or the next one.
