Chapter One
The Birth of Lorraine Potter/Strange
October 31st - Godric's Hollow
It was the night of all Hollow’s Eve of 1981, James and Lily Potter with their twin children were at their temporary home, located in Godric's Hollow. James was in the front room listening to the Wizarding Wireless Network, the twins were upstairs asleep whilst Lily was in the kitchen thinking about the day that she was raped by Voldemort and how it had changed her life forever.
It has been nearly two years since it had happened, but yet Lily could remember it as if it had happened the night before. She remembered when they had returned home that night, she told James about being raped and the spell to make her carry the Dark Lord’s heir. As expected, at first he was shocked and angry, as his feelings were confused that Lily might be also carrying the You-Know-Who’s child along with his own. So the next morning James had the Family Healer, who was oath bound not to reveal any of the family secrets, to see if Lily did in fact have You-Know-Who’s child or not.
When the Healer checked, she found out that Lily was indeed with the Dark Lord’s child - it was two months later that the child was identified as a girl. Both Lily and James were shocked at this, but as Lily thought about it she didn’t care who the child belonged to. The baby was hers and she would do anything to protect her unborn daughter and son be it from Voldemort himself, his Death Eaters, or if she had to, even from her own husband.
When James first learnt about the Dark Lord’s baby within his wife his first thought was that they should go to Albus Dumbledore and tell him about the child. That way they could use the child when it was born against You-Know-Who so they could finally defeat him.
However, Lily wasn’t having any of it, she told him that unless he gave her an oath not tell anyone about the child, until she found a way to protect the children from harm, she would leave him and neither him nor Albus would be ever able to find her or the children. In the end James knew that he didn’t have any other choice, and so gave her the oath she insisted upon.
After finding out that Voldemort’s spell did work, Lily realized that Voldemort would come after her to see whether the spell worked or not. Knowing that she would need to inform Albus what happened anyway, she would do what she knew what Albus often does, tell a half truth. She and James would tell Albus and the Order about the kidnapping and the rape, but they wouldn’t inform them about the other unborn child within Lily. She informed James that they wouldn’t even tell their friends about the child, so that way it would be less likely for someone to find out. All they would tell was that they were worried that Voldemort would try it again. So after that meeting, they had an Order Guard most of the time when they were out, and they were extra careful not to be out too late at night.
Although to the outside world and to James, life for James and Lily was more or less normal, despite the fact they had hidden Order Members keeping an eye on them at almost all hours of the day. However, for Lily life was anything but normal, as ever since she was raped everything changed for her. She was sickened and ashamed to admit it, but she enjoyed being controlled and having very rough sex.
She had asked James to make their sex life even rougher and control her more, however, even when he did, Lily felt thought something was missing. She didn’t know what it was, but it left a huge urge in her that needed to be filled. At first she tried to ignore these feelings, but over the months with her hormones playing up with her pregnancy, and the urges getting stronger, it got harder and harder to fight until finally she cracked.
When she cracked, she snuck out at night - using Glamour and Disillusionment Charms to hide from the Death Eaters and the Order Members - to find Muggle men who would be willing to control her more and use her rougher than James would. Although she was able to find these men, there was still something absent, in a way James was better than these men she would seek out for some reason, even though he wasn’t as controlling or as rough as them. It wasn’t until her children were born that she realized what was missing: Power.
Her two green-eyed babies, Harry and Lorraine, were born on the 31st of July. They had the children at Potter Manor, as Lily didn’t want to risk Lorraine being discovered. She hated that they had to keep Lorraine from the world and their friends, but she didn’t want to take the chance of Voldemort finding out about Lorraine - that meant that she had no Godparents.
It was about a month after the birth of their children when Lily and James and the Longbottoms - they had a son a day before their children were born - were asked by Albus to stay behind one night after an Order meeting. After the meeting ended Albus told them about the prophecy.
Both the Potters and the Longbottoms were shocked to hear that one of their son’s might be the only one able to defeat the Dark Lord. They were even more shocked that Albus suggested that they go into hiding, something neither of the families wanted to do at that time. Nevertheless, they told the Headmaster that they would do so at a later date if they had to.
Over the next thirteen months things changed a lot in the Potters life. It all started on the night when Lily and James learned about the damnable prophecy. James thought at once that Lorraine was the one from the prophecy, and he wanted to inform Albus about her. He thought that since she was You-Know-Who’s child, and was born at the end of July, she had some unknown power that could be used against her father. So he thought that they should hand her over to Albus; that way he could train her to defeat You-Know-Who.
Lily was furious when she heard this; she didn’t believe that any child should be sent away so that they could be trained as a weapon to defeat Voldemort, or any Dark Lord for that matter; she wouldn’t agree to that under any circumstance. She told him that she would do anything to protect her and Harry, even if it mean going against Albus and himself. She wouldn’t allow either of her children to be used as some kind of weapon.
What Lily didn’t tell her husband - out of fear of what he would do - was that she didn’t think it would be Lorraine that would be the one to defeat Voldemort, but that it would be Harry. She didn’t know why she believed this, seeing that she didn’t want any of her children to face that bastard, but she knew deep within her heart that Harry would be the one to do so.
Over the next few months, everything seemed to be going fine for the Potters. Sure things weren't going that well in the world with Voldemort and his Death Eaters were still out there attacking and killing people, but James was finally getting along with Lorraine like he was her true father, and seemed to give up the idea of telling Albus about her. Lily thought that things were going her way. But it wasn’t until after the New Year of 1981 that she learned how wrong she was.
As after the New Year, he began to spend less and less time with Lorraine, instead he began to spend more and more time with Harry and became cold towards Lorraine. Seeing as he couldn’t tell anyone about Lorraine, he started to drop hints to Lily that they should tell Albus about Lorraine, rationalizing that it would save a lot of lives.
Lily couldn’t believe how James suddenly changed, how he could be so nice to Lorraine and then act so cruel towards her. She couldn’t believe how James was treating an innocent child. She began to wonder why she married him in the first place, since before the seventh year of Hogwarts, she had hated him. He was a bully and hated all Slytherins for no reason but for what one man - the Dark Lord - had become and the few people that followed him. He also bullied those who he didn’t like.
She had to wonder how on earth she fell in love him considering she had hated him for so long. Sure he had changed when his parents were killed in a Death Eater’s attack before his seventh year at Hogwarts, but even with the change, she still didn’t like him after the years of him bullying people. So why is it that she had fallen in love with him? She began to wonder if he had dosed her with a love potion.
However, after some thought she realized that it didn’t really matter if she was dosed with a love potion or not. After all they were already married and there was no divorce in the magical world. The only way out of a marriage was if the head of the family, if the family had one, granted permission for the couple to have an annulment - seeing as James was the head of the Potters, it wasn’t going to happen. The only other way was for the husband or wife to die. Since she couldn’t do anything, she decided she would do whatever it took to protect her children from Voldemort, the Death Eaters, Albus, James and the Order.
After the New Year, trying to keep Lorraine a secret from their friends was getting harder - this was when Harry’s and Lorraine’s magic started to show. And as their magic started to show, Lily found out what was missing in her new secret life.
It started off as the normal case of uncontrolled bursts of magic that magical babies normally have, like when they were upset or really wanted something like their bottles. However, both Lily and James knew that accidental magic didn’t normally appear until a child was about four years old or so. They knew that the earlier a child had accidental magic, more powerful the child would be when they got older. As time went by, Lily and James realised that the uncontrolled bursts of magic that the children had weren’t uncontrolled bursts of magic at all, but instead the twins were doing controlled wandless magic.
James believed that it was Lorraine who did the controlled wandless magic first, and Harry was just copying her. This gave him more of a reason to try and get Lily to inform Albus about Lorraine.
However, Lily knew better, she knew that Harry was the first to show signs of magical talent and Lorraine was copying him. The reason for this was that she saw Harry doing something new - turning a pillow in a soft tabby bear - and then Lorraine did the same. But James wouldn’t believe this when she told him. Lily felt sad that the only reason he had it in for Lorraine and wanted to get rid of her was that she was the Dark Lord’s child and a reminder what he did to Lily. He didn’t care that Lorraine was innocent in all this, and had no say in who her father was and what happened.
It was their wandless skills that made it hard to keep Lorraine a secret from their friends whenever Remus or Sirius (or both) came around. Lily smiled as she remembered a few times when Harry had transformed Sirius into his Animagus form, Padfoot the dog, and summoned Lorraine from upstairs before levitating both of them onto Padfoot’s back. Harry always liked spending time with his Uncle Paddy and Moony, but he also liked spending time with them and Lorraine.
Sadly, Lily would always have to Obliviate the memories from Remus and Sirius minds, covering them with other things so that no one could find out about Lorraine. She always feared that Albus would read their minds and find out about her.
This happened a few times over several months, and sometimes Harry would also transform his father into his animagus form of Pongs the Stag, but would only levitate himself onto Prongs and Lorraine onto Padfoot. Somehow, Harry knew his father didn’t like his sister, and so he would levitate her onto Padfoot instead. But for some reason, Harry wouldn’t bring Lorraine out of hiding whenever Peter was about; it seemed that he didn’t like Peter.
Because of this advanced magic, Lily was worried about wandless magic that her children were doing. What if they did something very powerful that their bodies weren’t ready for? So she decided talk to the Family Healer about seeing how powerful they really were and about putting some blocks on them to limit what they could do. Lily was surprised to hear when the Family Healer did a few spells to check how powerful the twins were and, instead of a core of a one year old Harry had a core the size of a five year old, whilst Lorraine had the core of a three year old. The Healer suspected that as the twins got older their cores would get stronger too and could kill the twins before they were old enough to learn to control their power.
So the Healer agreed with Lily about her idea and would place Power Control Blocks on them, but it would take a month or so before she could place the blocks, as she needed to make the potions and look up the spells needed for them. Just before she left, the Healer told Lily that by the time they became of age, they would be most likely more powerful then You-Know-Who and Albus Dumbledore.
She remembered that night well, she was shocked to hear that her children would one day be more powerful then Voldemort and Albus. She began to put her infamous brain to work. Although shocked about it she was happy because, when they were properly trained, her children wouldn’t need to worry about being hurt and attacked - something that all parents wanted. As she thought on the matter more, mainly the part about how powerful they would become, she realized something.
The realization that Power was the thing missing from her sex life was largely put in the background when the Potters had went into hiding. With the power of the twins being almost flaunted about those uncomfortable facts of life had reasserted themselves. What made Voldemort different from the rest of her partners was his power, all of the men that she had had sex with were Muggles and she knew that if she wanted to, she could use magic to stop them - something she now realized she didn’t want to happen. With James it was a bit more satisfying, while she had a greater knowledge of spells, he was still magical as well and could force himself on her with his abilities.
But the problem was that if she wanted to, she could stop him as well since they had relatively even sized magical cores; both having just as much power as the other at their disposal. The only people who could really force her do what they wanted were Voldemort and Albus, since they were the two most powerful Magic Users known at the time. She didn’t know what to do; she wouldn’t seek out Albus, as he was far too old and she didn’t trust him seeing as he kept too much to himself and wouldn’t say anything until he thought they were ready to know - sometimes that would be too late.
And Voldemort, not even when hell froze over would she go to him. Apart from killing innocents, he was the one that made her this way now, a slightly insane woman willing to do whatever she had to to satisfy her sexual urges. She remembered a few of the men that she went to in order to satisfy her urges, the men sometimes ordered her to be with another woman, man or even animal, and because her urge to be controlled, she would do it and anything else they would ask from her.
She knew that with the right person to dominate her, she would do anything for them - even kill as long as it wasn’t her children, but she would be willing to kill her husband. The problem was that there weren’t many powerful wizards out there, and the ones that were out there are followers of Voldemort or Albus, and she wasn’t sure if they would turn her in to one of them.
It was after hours of thinking of what she should do about her urges that she came up with an idea that showed how insane Voldemort had made her. Before Voldemort raped her, she would be fine with her sex life as it was, but now she needed something more, something that James couldn’t give her. Now the idea was that if she couldn’t find the ideal Master to dominate her, she would make one. This person would be the only one that she’d be loyal to; do whatever he asked, no matter what it was.
There was really only one option with those terms in mind; her very own son, Harry Potter. She was confidant that with the right training starting at an early age she could make him into a powerful and dominant Master. The only problem she could see was that by the time her son was old enough to train, he would look up to her as his mother and not something to be controlled and used as he wanted.
So to make sure that this wouldn’t happen she placed some Personality Modifying Enchantments on him so that he would slowly want to control and use her. She discovered, after one night of furiously putting the Vibrating Charm to work on herself, that she really liked the idea of a threesome, and who better then the people she trusted the most; her children? The next morning she modified the Enchantments she'd placed in her son's mind to ignore the stigma on incest for his sister as well. Her face gained a euphoric expression when she thought about Harry controlling both herself and Lorie, so she placed another Enchantment on him specifically set to both of the female Potters alongside the general one; the longer he was around both of them the more he would want to dominant either of them. The fun part was that they were almost undetectable unless you were specifically looking for them with very specific detection spells, and within just a few years the magic would be so hard-wired into his brain and personality that they would become a part of him, due to her casting them on his at such a young age.
Her conscience had long since been smothered by her obsession with finding a good Master, years of suppressing her dark desire cracking her mind. The fact that she was dooming her daughter to be the plaything of her son, and forcing the personality she wanted instead of the one Harry would naturally develop onto him didn't bother her in the least. Lily was too far gone to care, spending her days daydreaming of the day her son started puberty, and it would happen early due to his excessive magic, of that she was sure, and taking his sister - she would be sure they shared a room for as long as she could get away with to maximize the Proximity Enchantments effects - before Harry and his by then completely willing plaything would move to ravish her with no regards for what anyone else thought of their methods.
Lost in her daydreaming Lily accidentally screwed up the Enchantment that would compel Harry to dominate and fuck Lily and Lorie, the spell causing him to feel that way about every girl he was attracted to. She was about to go back and correct that mistake, but before she could recheck her work and place spells on Lorie so she would be far more open to the idea of incest, finishing off her spellcasting by placing the opposite Enchantments she'd placed on Harry, making it so the longer her Lorie spent around Harry the more she would crave him she was called away by James. The Bones family was under attack and they were called in to help as Voldemort was going all out in an effort to kill them. Because of this, and the brutal battle that she'd just gotten back from, the Potters being a major turning point in the battle; managing to save young Susan's parents, she was too exhausted to recheck her Enchantments, assuming she'd done them correctly due to never screwing any of the others up, the fact that she hadn't placed the spells on her daughter slipped her mind, and when she did remember them the night was so hazy in her mind she assumed she'd already placed the spell on her.
Over the next month Lily waited for the Family Healer to get things ready to place the blocks on her children, it was a busy month. They were getting ready to hide themselves from the world for a while, as Albus warned them that Voldemort was planning to kill Harry and Neville (The Longbottom's son). The week before they were meant to go into hiding, and the Family Healer was to place the blocks on her children, Harry used his wandless magic once again. It was the saddest and the hardest thing she had ever done, but she had to wipe the memories of one of happiest days of Remus' life.
Flashback!
October 1st - Potter Manor
It was late September when Albus had warned the Potters and the Longbottoms that Voldemort had sent orders for their children to be killed. He advised both of them that it was best if they went into hiding under the Fidelius Charm right away, as it would make it harder for Voldemort to find them. The Longbottoms agreed at once - as their home didn’t have the best wards, and they didn’t want to see their son killed.
Lily however didn’t want to leave the Potter Manor, as it had the most powerful wards around and they would protect them long enough until help could arrive. But James put his foot down on this and told her that they would move to Godric’s Hollow, since he didn’t want You-Know-Who anywhere near his family home, and have him and his Death Eaters destroy it. So with that James, Lily and their children moved into the Potter Summer Home in Godric’s Hollow.
A week later - a few days before Albus would cast the Fidelius Charm on their home - they invited Sirius and Remus for a last visit before they had to cut themselves off from the world for a while. Harry was crawling around the room, but Lorraine was in her room.
After talking for a while, they came to the subject of them going into hiding. Neither Remus nor Sirius were happy about it, as they would miss them, but they understood that their friends were doing this to keep Harry safe. While Lily and James were explaining their plans to Remus and Sirius, Harry was getting bored watching them talk and decided that he wanted to play.
So he crawled to his parents, “Wan' pay with Pad, Moon and Lo.” Harry said.
“Not now dear,” Lily said sweetly, “The grownups are talking, we’ll play with you later.” To be safe Lily took Harry to his play pen so he wouldn’t get into trouble.
But the thing that Lily forgot about Harry was that when he wanted to play, Harry would play - no matter what she or James wanted. Something that was partially her fault due to the Enchantments. So the moment Lily walked away, Harry started to cry that he wanted to play with Pad, Moon and Lo, no one taking any notice of him.
As Lily and James were explaining to their friends that Lo was a toy of Harry’s, Harry levitated both Sirius and Remus - to both of their surprise - into his play pen. To everyone’s surprise and shock, for the first time Harry transformed Remus into Moony.
When this happened, Lily, James and Sirius were afraid of what would happen now that Remus was a werewolf before his time. The werewolf looked confused, so the three humans quickly got their wands out and pointed at Moony, just in case he attacked Harry. That was when the next surprise happened. Harry, without any fear, levitated himself up to Moony and hugged him, and then to Lily, James and Sirius’ surprise, instead of hurting Harry, Moony hugged Harry back, being very, very careful of his claws. When they looked into the werewolf’s eyes, the humans were surprise to see that although they were werewolf’s eyes, it looked like Remus was looking at them.
The next thing they knew Moony started to lick and tickle Harry. Seeing that he was doing no harm, Lily, James and Sirius decided to let Moony have some fun before trying to turn him back to a human. While Moony and Harry were playing, Sirius came out of the plan pen, so as not to get in the way. But as Moony was playing with Harry, Harry escaped Moony’s arms and looked at Sirius with a look that told Sirius that he wanted him to play with them too. Then, before anything was said or done, Sirius suddenly became Padfoot and was levitated back into the play pen.
As a confused Padfoot looked at them, Lily and James couldn't help but laugh at the pathetic expression in his canine eyes. They suspected that Padfoot had or was going to try and transform back into his human form. But they knew from past experience that until Harry had his fun, he wouldn't be able to turn back into a human.
Seeing the confusion on the dog's face, young Harry said, “Wan' pay with you, Moon and sissy.”
As Harry said that the dog and the werewolf looked at him and his parents in confusion, wondering if they'd heard the child right. Before anything could be said or done, a giggling Lorraine came floating down the stairs and into the play pen.
As Lorraine landed in the pen, the dog and the werewolf started to sniff the young girl. But as they were doing this, Harry saw that they were doing boring adult things instead of playing so he spoke again. “Pady, Moon, pay with me and sissy.” As soon as Harry said that, magic seemed to take over and Padfoot and Moony forgot about asking who the girl was and started to play with the young children.
As this was happening, Lily looked at the scene with a sad smile, they knew this was the best time Moony ever had. But, like other times when Harry brought Lorraine down when she and James had Sirius or/and Remus over, she had to alter their memories, although James hoped that it didn't work, as he wanted Lorraine to be found out.
It was about an hour later before Lily and James were able to change Padfoot and Moony back to their human forms, as Harry and Lorraine had finally fallen to sleep after playing with the dog and werewolf. With the sleeping children, James took them to their bed.
Once Sirius and Remus were back into their human forms, they were asking what just happened and who the girl was. However, instead of telling them about it, Lily altered their memories so they wouldn’t remember what happened.
She also altered James memories of it too, as she was afraid that he might go and tell Albus what happened and Albus would use Harry as a weapon against Voldemort. As she knew that to force someone into their werewolf form and allow them to keep their mind took a lot of power and she could think of only two people who had that power, Voldemort and Albus. She couldn’t allow that information out into the world.
End of Flashback!
Since that night Lily felt bad about what she did, but she knew that she had done it to protect her children. That’s why over the next few weeks, Lily was researching ways to block the Killing Curse as she was worried what would happen to her children if Voldemort found them.
As she researched, Lily was able to find a few rituals and spells that might be able to block the Killing Curse, but she didn’t know if they would work until the Curse was cast upon them. The reason that she wasn’t sure if they worked or not, was that they were known to be called dark by the Ministry of Magic so long ago, that no-one knew them anymore aside from a few people, and even fewer had the power to cast them.
She knew that she was powerful enough to cast them, and as for them being so called dark it didn't matter to her, as she would do anything to protect her children, even use so-called dark magic. So with that in mind, she cast a different spell on each of them as she wasn't sure which one would work and which wouldn't. She didn't know what would happen if she was killed while James and the children survived, she was afraid that James would send Lorraine to Albus to be used as a weapon against Voldemort. She knew it was wrong, but if it was James or her children she would pick her children every time.
Back in the present, it was the night of the All Hallows Eve. Lily was relaxing and slipping into another of her daydreams when she suddenly felt something was wrong. Although she didn’t know what could be wrong, she started to see if Harry and Lorraine was okay, just in case something was wrong with them.
But as Lily was half way up the stairs, she heard James shout out, “Lily it's him, get Harry and run!” Lily knew at once who ‘Him’ was, and that meant that Peter had betrayed them. Of all the people, she didn’t suspect Peter to betray them. Not wanting Voldemort to kill her son, or find out about Lorraine, she ran to the twin’s room to try and escape.
As she got to the twins room, she saw that the twins were still asleep. A part of her wanted to smirk as she saw they were holding each other closely, but she was far too busy to bask in her success. Sadly, their slumber didn't last long. The second she picked them up they started crying, as if sensing their mother distress. “Shh my babies, we're going just going on a trip.” She then went up to the fire place and threw some Floo Powder into it and shouted out the first place came to mind, “Hogwarts, Headmaster's Office!” But nothing happened.
Realizing that Voldemort must have blocked the Floo Network, she tried to Apparate, only to find out that Voldemort had also put up Anti-Apparition wards too. She knew she might have only a few moments before Voldemort came up. She knew that although James was powerful, Voldemort was more so. It wouldn’t be long before James was dead and his killer came seeking the rest of the family.
So, quickly coming up with an idea, she put the twins back into their crib and then put up a special ward that she came up with around the bedroom cupboard. The ward was like the Fidelius Charm, it would only last for a few hours, but it would last long enough to hide from Voldemort. The first child she put into the cupboard was Lorraine. Making sure that she was safely within the cupboard, she was about to put Harry into the cupboard when Voldemort burst into the room.
“Ah, Lily my love, how nice to see you again.” He said, his seductive and charming voice now a high-pitched mockery of its previous tone. “You don't know how long I've waited to meet you again. If you take my offer and become my pet, after I repay you for what you did to me, I will spare you and your son. Your great intelligence and beauty should not go to waste.”
“Never! I'll never join you, you twisted bastard!” Lily snarled angrily, hate in her eyes for her husband’s fate. For all his faults, Lily knew that if James were still alive, Voldemort wouldn't be up here now, as James wouldn't want anything to happen to Harry at the very least.
“Fine, we shall have it your way. Step aside so I can finish what I came here for before I deal with you.”
“I won’t let you take Harry from this world, if you need to take someone take me! But PLEASE leave Harry alone.” She cried, looking behind at her peaceful baby.
Voldemort was getting impatient. “Stand aside you silly girl... Stand aside now!”
“No! Have mercy. Not Harry, please! Take me, kill me instead!”
“As you wish.” And before Lily could do anything, Voldemort cast the killing curse at her.
After Lily's limp body fell to the floor Voldemort walked over to the crib that held the crying baby that was supposed to be his downfall. He laughed to himself at the mere idea that such a small baby could stand in his way to rule the world.
But as he cast the Killing Curse on the infant his eyes widened as instead of striking the boy, the green jet of light bounced off a golden barrier that had suddenly formed around the boy. Voldemort had no time to react when the killing curse rebounded onto him instead. He felt extreme pain, almost as if his body was being boiled from the inside and his heart was being torn from his chest. If he hadn’t taken prior steps to ensure his near immortality, he would have been as dead as James and Lily supposedly were. Instead, his spirit was able to drift away from his now crumpled body that seemed to be slowly melting away on the floor, leaving nothing but the robes he had been wearing, a pile of dust, and his wand behind.
The energy that ripped Voldemort’s soul from his body had continued upwards and out of the room, severely damaging the ceiling and one of the support beams before blasting through the roof. Young Harry lay in his crib with a lightning-bolt-shaped cut on his forehead, slowly bleeding. He cried himself to sleep from the pain of the cut, no longer able to receive comfort from his mother or his sister as the ceiling of the second floor of the house began to collapse slowly.
OoOoO
/ Lorraine's PoV /While all this was going on, Lorraine was watching it from the cupboard crying for her mummy and brother. Although she didn't fully understand what was going, she did know that something bad was happening.
No one was able to see or hear her, but she could hear and see everything. She saw her mummy about to pick up her twin brother, when the door to her and her brother's room burst open to reveal who she believed to be the bad man. As the bad man walked into the room, he started to talk to her mummy. Although she didn't understand what was being said, she knew it was something that upset and made her mummy mad.
But the little that she could understand wasn't good, what she understood was that this bad man wanted to hurt her family. Although she knew that she couldn't do much to help, Lorraine wanted to help somehow, but her mummy had done something to her with her magic stick so that she couldn't move.
So Lorraine watched as her mummy and the bad man talked for a bit longer, she saw her mummy start to become even more upset. But when her mummy said that she wouldn't allow the bad man hurt her brother, the bad man said something that she didn't recognize.
When he said whatever he did, there was a green light that came from the bad man's magic stick and hit her mummy, who fell to the ground and didn’t move. She cried out to her mummy, but knew that she couldn't hear her. Then the bad man said something to her brother, and then said the same strange words that he said to her mummy before the green light came from his magic stick. Unlike the last time, when the green light had hit her mother, a strange ball of light surrounded her brother and the green light bounced off the ball and hit the bad man. As the light hit the bad man everything suddenly went dark for the girl.
OoOoO
It was hours later before Lorraine awoke, by that time her brother Harry had been picked up by a half-giant named Hagrid and was taken to their Muggle, magic-hating Aunt and Uncle, there he would grow up not knowing about the Magical World or about her. Where until he was almost seven, he would be beaten daily for being a wizard, but just before he turned seven his life would change for the better. Lorraine, of course, knew none of this and would learn about it at a much later date.
For right now she had her own situation to deal with. When she awoke she found that she was once again able to move. So, crawling out of the cupboard, she saw that her mummy was still lying there in the middle of some mess, she thought her mummy was only sleeping. However, she couldn't see her twin brother. Seeing that she was hungry, she tried to wake her mummy up but couldn't. It felt like she was sleeping, but her mummy just wouldn't open her eyes. After a while, she realized that her mummy wasn't going to wake. She also found it strange that her daddy didn't come to see what was going on. Sure she knew that he didn't like her, but she thought he would see what was up. Not knowing what to do, she decided to stay with her mummy, as she didn't want to go far from her.
By the next day however, her hunger was so great she knew she had to get some food. So she decided to go downstairs to see if her father was down there and was just ignoring her, and hoping that her mummy would sort her out like before. So, crawling through the mess to the stairs, she knew that she had to walk down them if she wanted to get anywhere. Oh how she hated walking, it took a lot out of her and she found crawling a lot easier.
As she got downstairs and passed the front room, she saw her daddy on the ground too. Crawling up to him, she thought that he might be asleep, so she tried to wake him. But after a while, she realized like her mummy, he wasn't going to wake. So she got up and walked out of the front door that was open, but as she walked out of the front door and out of the garden she began to forget where she lived. She could remember about her mummy, daddy and her twin brother Harry, but for some strange reason she couldn't remember where she lived. Forgetting about her hunger, she tried to find her home again.
OoOoO
While Lorraine was looking for her home, a neighbour, a Joanne "Jo" Murray née Rowling, came out her house to do some shopping. Jo was a thirty-five year old house wife with three children, two sons and one daughter. Jo was a new writer, who was trying to write a new story about a boy wizard and his adventures at a magical school.
Anyway, as Jo left her house to go to the shops for dinner that night, she was shocked to see a fifteen month old girl walking, crawling actually, around the neighbourhood with no parents. The stranger thing was that she hadn't seen this girl in the neighbourhood before, so she wondered where she had come from. Seeing that it wasn't right to have the child outside with no-one to look after her, Jo brought the young girl into her home.
Once Jo brought the girl home, she checked to see if she was okay. Before she had children Jo was a mid-wife and looked after many children. As she was checking the girl, she found that the girl had a necklace on her with the name Lorraine and her date of birth on it. Jo naturally assumed that it was the baby's name.
After checking Lorraine for a short while, Jo found that the young girl was fine. So she called the police and let them sort out the rest. They had to find Lorraine's parents to find out why they had abandoned her, and if they didn't abandoned her, see if they were okay.
As the police arrived and found out what had happened they called in the local social workers. The social workers took Lorraine to some foster parents until the police were able to find her parents and find out what was going on.
However, over the next six months, the police asked the people in Godric's Hollow if they saw anything the day Jo found Lorraine, but no one had, and none of them had seen her before in their lives. Jo asked about Lorraine every so often to see how see was, she wanted to take Lorraine in herself but she didn't have the room or the money to do so. To everyone it seemed that until Jo found her, Lorraine didn't exist. None of the news reports that the police put on TV helped; no one responded.
As for Lorraine, she ended up in Saint Charles Orphanage, one of the best orphanages in England. In the last six months she had gone to ten different foster homes and hadn’t stayed in them much longer than a few weeks. When Lorraine was upset or wanted something; strange things would happen around her that the foster parents didn't understand.
Things like items being levitated, lights being turned on by themselves, toys and bottles appearing next to Lorraine and many other things. Since the foster parents were not used to these things, they asked the social workers to place her into a new home. By the end of it all, Lorraine had become known as Lorraine Strange because of all the strange things happened around her. Since it was so well known it even became the surname that the social workers put onto Lorraine’s identity forms.
Since none of the foster families wanted to look after her she was sent to Saint Charles. She stayed there for most of her life until she was eleven when she would get a letter that would change her life forever; and not for the better.

Chapter One
The Birth of Lorraine Potter/Strange
October 31st - Godric's Hollow
It was the night of all Hollow’s Eve of 1981, James and Lily Potter with their twin children were at their temporary home, located in Godric's Hollow. James was in the front room listening to the Wizarding Wireless Network, the twins were upstairs asleep whilst Lily was in the kitchen thinking about the day that she was raped by Voldemort and how it had changed her life forever.
It has been nearly two years since it had happened, but yet Lily could remember it as if it had happened the night before. She remembered when they had returned home that night, she told James about being raped and the spell to make her carry the Dark Lord’s heir. As expected, at first he was shocked and angry, as his feelings were confused that Lily might be also carrying the You-Know-Who’s child along with his own. So the next morning James had the Family Healer, who was oath bound not to reveal any of the family secrets, to see if Lily did in fact have You-Know-Who’s child or not.
When the Healer checked, she found out that Lily was indeed with the Dark Lord’s child - it was two months later that the child was identified as a girl. Both Lily and James were shocked at this, but as Lily thought about it she didn’t care who the child belonged to. The baby was hers and she would do anything to protect her unborn daughter and son be it from Voldemort himself, his Death Eaters, or if she had to, even from her own husband.
When James first learnt about the Dark Lord’s baby within his wife his first thought was that they should go to Albus Dumbledore and tell him about the child. That way they could use the child when it was born against You-Know-Who so they could finally defeat him.
However, Lily wasn’t having any of it, she told him that unless he gave her an oath not tell anyone about the child, until she found a way to protect the children from harm, she would leave him and neither him nor Albus would be ever able to find her or the children. In the end James knew that he didn’t have any other choice, and so gave her the oath she insisted upon.
After finding out that Voldemort’s spell did work, Lily realized that Voldemort would come after her to see whether the spell worked or not. Knowing that she would need to inform Albus what happened anyway, she would do what she knew what Albus often does, tell a half truth. She and James would tell Albus and the Order about the kidnapping and the rape, but they wouldn’t inform them about the other unborn child within Lily. She informed James that they wouldn’t even tell their friends about the child, so that way it would be less likely for someone to find out. All they would tell was that they were worried that Voldemort would try it again. So after that meeting, they had an Order Guard most of the time when they were out, and they were extra careful not to be out too late at night.
Although to the outside world and to James, life for James and Lily was more or less normal, despite the fact they had hidden Order Members keeping an eye on them at almost all hours of the day. However, for Lily life was anything but normal, as ever since she was raped everything changed for her. She was sickened and ashamed to admit it, but she enjoyed being controlled and having very rough sex.
She had asked James to make their sex life even rougher and control her more, however, even when he did, Lily felt thought something was missing. She didn’t know what it was, but it left a huge urge in her that needed to be filled. At first she tried to ignore these feelings, but over the months with her hormones playing up with her pregnancy, and the urges getting stronger, it got harder and harder to fight until finally she cracked.
When she cracked, she snuck out at night - using Glamour and Disillusionment Charms to hide from the Death Eaters and the Order Members - to find Muggle men who would be willing to control her more and use her rougher than James would. Although she was able to find these men, there was still something absent, in a way James was better than these men she would seek out for some reason, even though he wasn’t as controlling or as rough as them. It wasn’t until her children were born that she realized what was missing: Power.
Her two green-eyed babies, Harry and Lorraine, were born on the 31st of July. They had the children at Potter Manor, as Lily didn’t want to risk Lorraine being discovered. She hated that they had to keep Lorraine from the world and their friends, but she didn’t want to take the chance of Voldemort finding out about Lorraine - that meant that she had no Godparents.
It was about a month after the birth of their children when Lily and James and the Longbottoms - they had a son a day before their children were born - were asked by Albus to stay behind one night after an Order meeting. After the meeting ended Albus told them about the prophecy.
Both the Potters and the Longbottoms were shocked to hear that one of their son’s might be the only one able to defeat the Dark Lord. They were even more shocked that Albus suggested that they go into hiding, something neither of the families wanted to do at that time. Nevertheless, they told the Headmaster that they would do so at a later date if they had to.
Over the next thirteen months things changed a lot in the Potters life. It all started on the night when Lily and James learned about the damnable prophecy. James thought at once that Lorraine was the one from the prophecy, and he wanted to inform Albus about her. He thought that since she was You-Know-Who’s child, and was born at the end of July, she had some unknown power that could be used against her father. So he thought that they should hand her over to Albus; that way he could train her to defeat You-Know-Who.
Lily was furious when she heard this; she didn’t believe that any child should be sent away so that they could be trained as a weapon to defeat Voldemort, or any Dark Lord for that matter; she wouldn’t agree to that under any circumstance. She told him that she would do anything to protect her and Harry, even if it mean going against Albus and himself. She wouldn’t allow either of her children to be used as some kind of weapon.
What Lily didn’t tell her husband - out of fear of what he would do - was that she didn’t think it would be Lorraine that would be the one to defeat Voldemort, but that it would be Harry. She didn’t know why she believed this, seeing that she didn’t want any of her children to face that bastard, but she knew deep within her heart that Harry would be the one to do so.
Over the next few months, everything seemed to be going fine for the Potters. Sure things weren't going that well in the world with Voldemort and his Death Eaters were still out there attacking and killing people, but James was finally getting along with Lorraine like he was her true father, and seemed to give up the idea of telling Albus about her. Lily thought that things were going her way. But it wasn’t until after the New Year of 1981 that she learned how wrong she was.
As after the New Year, he began to spend less and less time with Lorraine, instead he began to spend more and more time with Harry and became cold towards Lorraine. Seeing as he couldn’t tell anyone about Lorraine, he started to drop hints to Lily that they should tell Albus about Lorraine, rationalizing that it would save a lot of lives.
Lily couldn’t believe how James suddenly changed, how he could be so nice to Lorraine and then act so cruel towards her. She couldn’t believe how James was treating an innocent child. She began to wonder why she married him in the first place, since before the seventh year of Hogwarts, she had hated him. He was a bully and hated all Slytherins for no reason but for what one man - the Dark Lord - had become and the few people that followed him. He also bullied those who he didn’t like.
She had to wonder how on earth she fell in love him considering she had hated him for so long. Sure he had changed when his parents were killed in a Death Eater’s attack before his seventh year at Hogwarts, but even with the change, she still didn’t like him after the years of him bullying people. So why is it that she had fallen in love with him? She began to wonder if he had dosed her with a love potion.
However, after some thought she realized that it didn’t really matter if she was dosed with a love potion or not. After all they were already married and there was no divorce in the magical world. The only way out of a marriage was if the head of the family, if the family had one, granted permission for the couple to have an annulment - seeing as James was the head of the Potters, it wasn’t going to happen. The only other way was for the husband or wife to die. Since she couldn’t do anything, she decided she would do whatever it took to protect her children from Voldemort, the Death Eaters, Albus, James and the Order.
After the New Year, trying to keep Lorraine a secret from their friends was getting harder - this was when Harry’s and Lorraine’s magic started to show. And as their magic started to show, Lily found out what was missing in her new secret life.
It started off as the normal case of uncontrolled bursts of magic that magical babies normally have, like when they were upset or really wanted something like their bottles. However, both Lily and James knew that accidental magic didn’t normally appear until a child was about four years old or so. They knew that the earlier a child had accidental magic, more powerful the child would be when they got older. As time went by, Lily and James realised that the uncontrolled bursts of magic that the children had weren’t uncontrolled bursts of magic at all, but instead the twins were doing controlled wandless magic.
James believed that it was Lorraine who did the controlled wandless magic first, and Harry was just copying her. This gave him more of a reason to try and get Lily to inform Albus about Lorraine.
However, Lily knew better, she knew that Harry was the first to show signs of magical talent and Lorraine was copying him. The reason for this was that she saw Harry doing something new - turning a pillow in a soft tabby bear - and then Lorraine did the same. But James wouldn’t believe this when she told him. Lily felt sad that the only reason he had it in for Lorraine and wanted to get rid of her was that she was the Dark Lord’s child and a reminder what he did to Lily. He didn’t care that Lorraine was innocent in all this, and had no say in who her father was and what happened.
It was their wandless skills that made it hard to keep Lorraine a secret from their friends whenever Remus or Sirius (or both) came around. Lily smiled as she remembered a few times when Harry had transformed Sirius into his Animagus form, Padfoot the dog, and summoned Lorraine from upstairs before levitating both of them onto Padfoot’s back. Harry always liked spending time with his Uncle Paddy and Moony, but he also liked spending time with them and Lorraine.
Sadly, Lily would always have to Obliviate the memories from Remus and Sirius minds, covering them with other things so that no one could find out about Lorraine. She always feared that Albus would read their minds and find out about her.
This happened a few times over several months, and sometimes Harry would also transform his father into his animagus form of Pongs the Stag, but would only levitate himself onto Prongs and Lorraine onto Padfoot. Somehow, Harry knew his father didn’t like his sister, and so he would levitate her onto Padfoot instead. But for some reason, Harry wouldn’t bring Lorraine out of hiding whenever Peter was about; it seemed that he didn’t like Peter.
Because of this advanced magic, Lily was worried about wandless magic that her children were doing. What if they did something very powerful that their bodies weren’t ready for? So she decided talk to the Family Healer about seeing how powerful they really were and about putting some blocks on them to limit what they could do. Lily was surprised to hear when the Family Healer did a few spells to check how powerful the twins were and, instead of a core of a one year old Harry had a core the size of a five year old, whilst Lorraine had the core of a three year old. The Healer suspected that as the twins got older their cores would get stronger too and could kill the twins before they were old enough to learn to control their power.
So the Healer agreed with Lily about her idea and would place Power Control Blocks on them, but it would take a month or so before she could place the blocks, as she needed to make the potions and look up the spells needed for them. Just before she left, the Healer told Lily that by the time they became of age, they would be most likely more powerful then You-Know-Who and Albus Dumbledore.
She remembered that night well, she was shocked to hear that her children would one day be more powerful then Voldemort and Albus. She began to put her infamous brain to work. Although shocked about it she was happy because, when they were properly trained, her children wouldn’t need to worry about being hurt and attacked - something that all parents wanted. As she thought on the matter more, mainly the part about how powerful they would become, she realized something.
The realization that Power was the thing missing from her sex life was largely put in the background when the Potters had went into hiding. With the power of the twins being almost flaunted about those uncomfortable facts of life had reasserted themselves. What made Voldemort different from the rest of her partners was his power, all of the men that she had had sex with were Muggles and she knew that if she wanted to, she could use magic to stop them - something she now realized she didn’t want to happen. With James it was a bit more satisfying, while she had a greater knowledge of spells, he was still magical as well and could force himself on her with his abilities.
But the problem was that if she wanted to, she could stop him as well since they had relatively even sized magical cores; both having just as much power as the other at their disposal. The only people who could really force her do what they wanted were Voldemort and Albus, since they were the two most powerful Magic Users known at the time. She didn’t know what to do; she wouldn’t seek out Albus, as he was far too old and she didn’t trust him seeing as he kept too much to himself and wouldn’t say anything until he thought they were ready to know - sometimes that would be too late.
And Voldemort, not even when hell froze over would she go to him. Apart from killing innocents, he was the one that made her this way now, a slightly insane woman willing to do whatever she had to to satisfy her sexual urges. She remembered a few of the men that she went to in order to satisfy her urges, the men sometimes ordered her to be with another woman, man or even animal, and because her urge to be controlled, she would do it and anything else they would ask from her.
She knew that with the right person to dominate her, she would do anything for them - even kill as long as it wasn’t her children, but she would be willing to kill her husband. The problem was that there weren’t many powerful wizards out there, and the ones that were out there are followers of Voldemort or Albus, and she wasn’t sure if they would turn her in to one of them.
It was after hours of thinking of what she should do about her urges that she came up with an idea that showed how insane Voldemort had made her. Before Voldemort raped her, she would be fine with her sex life as it was, but now she needed something more, something that James couldn’t give her. Now the idea was that if she couldn’t find the ideal Master to dominate her, she would make one. This person would be the only one that she’d be loyal to; do whatever he asked, no matter what it was.
There was really only one option with those terms in mind; her very own son, Harry Potter. She was confidant that with the right training starting at an early age she could make him into a powerful and dominant Master. The only problem she could see was that by the time her son was old enough to train, he would look up to her as his mother and not something to be controlled and used as he wanted.
So to make sure that this wouldn’t happen she placed some Personality Modifying Enchantments on him so that he would slowly want to control and use her. She discovered, after one night of furiously putting the Vibrating Charm to work on herself, that she really liked the idea of a threesome, and who better then the people she trusted the most; her children? The next morning she modified the Enchantments she'd placed in her son's mind to ignore the stigma on incest for his sister as well. Her face gained a euphoric expression when she thought about Harry controlling both herself and Lorie, so she placed another Enchantment on him specifically set to both of the female Potters alongside the general one; the longer he was around both of them the more he would want to dominant either of them. The fun part was that they were almost undetectable unless you were specifically looking for them with very specific detection spells, and within just a few years the magic would be so hard-wired into his brain and personality that they would become a part of him, due to her casting them on his at such a young age.
Her conscience had long since been smothered by her obsession with finding a good Master, years of suppressing her dark desire cracking her mind. The fact that she was dooming her daughter to be the plaything of her son, and forcing the personality she wanted instead of the one Harry would naturally develop onto him didn't bother her in the least. Lily was too far gone to care, spending her days daydreaming of the day her son started puberty, and it would happen early due to his excessive magic, of that she was sure, and taking his sister - she would be sure they shared a room for as long as she could get away with to maximize the Proximity Enchantments effects - before Harry and his by then completely willing plaything would move to ravish her with no regards for what anyone else thought of their methods.
Lost in her daydreaming Lily accidentally screwed up the Enchantment that would compel Harry to dominate and fuck Lily and Lorie, the spell causing him to feel that way about every girl he was attracted to. She was about to go back and correct that mistake, but before she could recheck her work and place spells on Lorie so she would be far more open to the idea of incest, finishing off her spellcasting by placing the opposite Enchantments she'd placed on Harry, making it so the longer her Lorie spent around Harry the more she would crave him she was called away by James. The Bones family was under attack and they were called in to help as Voldemort was going all out in an effort to kill them. Because of this, and the brutal battle that she'd just gotten back from, the Potters being a major turning point in the battle; managing to save young Susan's parents, she was too exhausted to recheck her Enchantments, assuming she'd done them correctly due to never screwing any of the others up, the fact that she hadn't placed the spells on her daughter slipped her mind, and when she did remember them the night was so hazy in her mind she assumed she'd already placed the spell on her.
Over the next month Lily waited for the Family Healer to get things ready to place the blocks on her children, it was a busy month. They were getting ready to hide themselves from the world for a while, as Albus warned them that Voldemort was planning to kill Harry and Neville (The Longbottom's son). The week before they were meant to go into hiding, and the Family Healer was to place the blocks on her children, Harry used his wandless magic once again. It was the saddest and the hardest thing she had ever done, but she had to wipe the memories of one of happiest days of Remus' life.
Flashback!
October 1st - Potter Manor
It was late September when Albus had warned the Potters and the Longbottoms that Voldemort had sent orders for their children to be killed. He advised both of them that it was best if they went into hiding under the Fidelius Charm right away, as it would make it harder for Voldemort to find them. The Longbottoms agreed at once - as their home didn’t have the best wards, and they didn’t want to see their son killed.
Lily however didn’t want to leave the Potter Manor, as it had the most powerful wards around and they would protect them long enough until help could arrive. But James put his foot down on this and told her that they would move to Godric’s Hollow, since he didn’t want You-Know-Who anywhere near his family home, and have him and his Death Eaters destroy it. So with that James, Lily and their children moved into the Potter Summer Home in Godric’s Hollow.
A week later - a few days before Albus would cast the Fidelius Charm on their home - they invited Sirius and Remus for a last visit before they had to cut themselves off from the world for a while. Harry was crawling around the room, but Lorraine was in her room.
After talking for a while, they came to the subject of them going into hiding. Neither Remus nor Sirius were happy about it, as they would miss them, but they understood that their friends were doing this to keep Harry safe. While Lily and James were explaining their plans to Remus and Sirius, Harry was getting bored watching them talk and decided that he wanted to play.
So he crawled to his parents, “Wan' pay with Pad, Moon and Lo.” Harry said.
“Not now dear,” Lily said sweetly, “The grownups are talking, we’ll play with you later.” To be safe Lily took Harry to his play pen so he wouldn’t get into trouble.
But the thing that Lily forgot about Harry was that when he wanted to play, Harry would play - no matter what she or James wanted. Something that was partially her fault due to the Enchantments. So the moment Lily walked away, Harry started to cry that he wanted to play with Pad, Moon and Lo, no one taking any notice of him.
As Lily and James were explaining to their friends that Lo was a toy of Harry’s, Harry levitated both Sirius and Remus - to both of their surprise - into his play pen. To everyone’s surprise and shock, for the first time Harry transformed Remus into Moony.
When this happened, Lily, James and Sirius were afraid of what would happen now that Remus was a werewolf before his time. The werewolf looked confused, so the three humans quickly got their wands out and pointed at Moony, just in case he attacked Harry. That was when the next surprise happened. Harry, without any fear, levitated himself up to Moony and hugged him, and then to Lily, James and Sirius’ surprise, instead of hurting Harry, Moony hugged Harry back, being very, very careful of his claws. When they looked into the werewolf’s eyes, the humans were surprise to see that although they were werewolf’s eyes, it looked like Remus was looking at them.
The next thing they knew Moony started to lick and tickle Harry. Seeing that he was doing no harm, Lily, James and Sirius decided to let Moony have some fun before trying to turn him back to a human. While Moony and Harry were playing, Sirius came out of the plan pen, so as not to get in the way. But as Moony was playing with Harry, Harry escaped Moony’s arms and looked at Sirius with a look that told Sirius that he wanted him to play with them too. Then, before anything was said or done, Sirius suddenly became Padfoot and was levitated back into the play pen.
As a confused Padfoot looked at them, Lily and James couldn't help but laugh at the pathetic expression in his canine eyes. They suspected that Padfoot had or was going to try and transform back into his human form. But they knew from past experience that until Harry had his fun, he wouldn't be able to turn back into a human.
Seeing the confusion on the dog's face, young Harry said, “Wan' pay with you, Moon and sissy.”
As Harry said that the dog and the werewolf looked at him and his parents in confusion, wondering if they'd heard the child right. Before anything could be said or done, a giggling Lorraine came floating down the stairs and into the play pen.
As Lorraine landed in the pen, the dog and the werewolf started to sniff the young girl. But as they were doing this, Harry saw that they were doing boring adult things instead of playing so he spoke again. “Pady, Moon, pay with me and sissy.” As soon as Harry said that, magic seemed to take over and Padfoot and Moony forgot about asking who the girl was and started to play with the young children.
As this was happening, Lily looked at the scene with a sad smile, they knew this was the best time Moony ever had. But, like other times when Harry brought Lorraine down when she and James had Sirius or/and Remus over, she had to alter their memories, although James hoped that it didn't work, as he wanted Lorraine to be found out.
It was about an hour later before Lily and James were able to change Padfoot and Moony back to their human forms, as Harry and Lorraine had finally fallen to sleep after playing with the dog and werewolf. With the sleeping children, James took them to their bed.
Once Sirius and Remus were back into their human forms, they were asking what just happened and who the girl was. However, instead of telling them about it, Lily altered their memories so they wouldn’t remember what happened.
She also altered James memories of it too, as she was afraid that he might go and tell Albus what happened and Albus would use Harry as a weapon against Voldemort. As she knew that to force someone into their werewolf form and allow them to keep their mind took a lot of power and she could think of only two people who had that power, Voldemort and Albus. She couldn’t allow that information out into the world.
End of Flashback!
Since that night Lily felt bad about what she did, but she knew that she had done it to protect her children. That’s why over the next few weeks, Lily was researching ways to block the Killing Curse as she was worried what would happen to her children if Voldemort found them.
As she researched, Lily was able to find a few rituals and spells that might be able to block the Killing Curse, but she didn’t know if they would work until the Curse was cast upon them. The reason that she wasn’t sure if they worked or not, was that they were known to be called dark by the Ministry of Magic so long ago, that no-one knew them anymore aside from a few people, and even fewer had the power to cast them.
She knew that she was powerful enough to cast them, and as for them being so called dark it didn't matter to her, as she would do anything to protect her children, even use so-called dark magic. So with that in mind, she cast a different spell on each of them as she wasn't sure which one would work and which wouldn't. She didn't know what would happen if she was killed while James and the children survived, she was afraid that James would send Lorraine to Albus to be used as a weapon against Voldemort. She knew it was wrong, but if it was James or her children she would pick her children every time.
Back in the present, it was the night of the All Hallows Eve. Lily was relaxing and slipping into another of her daydreams when she suddenly felt something was wrong. Although she didn’t know what could be wrong, she started to see if Harry and Lorraine was okay, just in case something was wrong with them.
But as Lily was half way up the stairs, she heard James shout out, “Lily it's him, get Harry and run!” Lily knew at once who ‘Him’ was, and that meant that Peter had betrayed them. Of all the people, she didn’t suspect Peter to betray them. Not wanting Voldemort to kill her son, or find out about Lorraine, she ran to the twin’s room to try and escape.
As she got to the twins room, she saw that the twins were still asleep. A part of her wanted to smirk as she saw they were holding each other closely, but she was far too busy to bask in her success. Sadly, their slumber didn't last long. The second she picked them up they started crying, as if sensing their mother distress. “Shh my babies, we're going just going on a trip.” She then went up to the fire place and threw some Floo Powder into it and shouted out the first place came to mind, “Hogwarts, Headmaster's Office!” But nothing happened.
Realizing that Voldemort must have blocked the Floo Network, she tried to Apparate, only to find out that Voldemort had also put up Anti-Apparition wards too. She knew she might have only a few moments before Voldemort came up. She knew that although James was powerful, Voldemort was more so. It wouldn’t be long before James was dead and his killer came seeking the rest of the family.
So, quickly coming up with an idea, she put the twins back into their crib and then put up a special ward that she came up with around the bedroom cupboard. The ward was like the Fidelius Charm, it would only last for a few hours, but it would last long enough to hide from Voldemort. The first child she put into the cupboard was Lorraine. Making sure that she was safely within the cupboard, she was about to put Harry into the cupboard when Voldemort burst into the room.
“Ah, Lily my love, how nice to see you again.” He said, his seductive and charming voice now a high-pitched mockery of its previous tone. “You don't know how long I've waited to meet you again. If you take my offer and become my pet, after I repay you for what you did to me, I will spare you and your son. Your great intelligence and beauty should not go to waste.”
“Never! I'll never join you, you twisted bastard!” Lily snarled angrily, hate in her eyes for her husband’s fate. For all his faults, Lily knew that if James were still alive, Voldemort wouldn't be up here now, as James wouldn't want anything to happen to Harry at the very least.
“Fine, we shall have it your way. Step aside so I can finish what I came here for before I deal with you.”
“I won’t let you take Harry from this world, if you need to take someone take me! But PLEASE leave Harry alone.” She cried, looking behind at her peaceful baby.
Voldemort was getting impatient. “Stand aside you silly girl... Stand aside now!”
“No! Have mercy. Not Harry, please! Take me, kill me instead!”
“As you wish.” And before Lily could do anything, Voldemort cast the killing curse at her.
After Lily's limp body fell to the floor Voldemort walked over to the crib that held the crying baby that was supposed to be his downfall. He laughed to himself at the mere idea that such a small baby could stand in his way to rule the world.
But as he cast the Killing Curse on the infant his eyes widened as instead of striking the boy, the green jet of light bounced off a golden barrier that had suddenly formed around the boy. Voldemort had no time to react when the killing curse rebounded onto him instead. He felt extreme pain, almost as if his body was being boiled from the inside and his heart was being torn from his chest. If he hadn’t taken prior steps to ensure his near immortality, he would have been as dead as James and Lily supposedly were. Instead, his spirit was able to drift away from his now crumpled body that seemed to be slowly melting away on the floor, leaving nothing but the robes he had been wearing, a pile of dust, and his wand behind.
The energy that ripped Voldemort’s soul from his body had continued upwards and out of the room, severely damaging the ceiling and one of the support beams before blasting through the roof. Young Harry lay in his crib with a lightning-bolt-shaped cut on his forehead, slowly bleeding. He cried himself to sleep from the pain of the cut, no longer able to receive comfort from his mother or his sister as the ceiling of the second floor of the house began to collapse slowly.
OoOoO
/ Lorraine's PoV /While all this was going on, Lorraine was watching it from the cupboard crying for her mummy and brother. Although she didn't fully understand what was going, she did know that something bad was happening.
No one was able to see or hear her, but she could hear and see everything. She saw her mummy about to pick up her twin brother, when the door to her and her brother's room burst open to reveal who she believed to be the bad man. As the bad man walked into the room, he started to talk to her mummy. Although she didn't understand what was being said, she knew it was something that upset and made her mummy mad.
But the little that she could understand wasn't good, what she understood was that this bad man wanted to hurt her family. Although she knew that she couldn't do much to help, Lorraine wanted to help somehow, but her mummy had done something to her with her magic stick so that she couldn't move.
So Lorraine watched as her mummy and the bad man talked for a bit longer, she saw her mummy start to become even more upset. But when her mummy said that she wouldn't allow the bad man hurt her brother, the bad man said something that she didn't recognize.
When he said whatever he did, there was a green light that came from the bad man's magic stick and hit her mummy, who fell to the ground and didn’t move. She cried out to her mummy, but knew that she couldn't hear her. Then the bad man said something to her brother, and then said the same strange words that he said to her mummy before the green light came from his magic stick. Unlike the last time, when the green light had hit her mother, a strange ball of light surrounded her brother and the green light bounced off the ball and hit the bad man. As the light hit the bad man everything suddenly went dark for the girl.
OoOoO
It was hours later before Lorraine awoke, by that time her brother Harry had been picked up by a half-giant named Hagrid and was taken to their Muggle, magic-hating Aunt and Uncle, there he would grow up not knowing about the Magical World or about her. Where until he was almost seven, he would be beaten daily for being a wizard, but just before he turned seven his life would change for the better. Lorraine, of course, knew none of this and would learn about it at a much later date.
For right now she had her own situation to deal with. When she awoke she found that she was once again able to move. So, crawling out of the cupboard, she saw that her mummy was still lying there in the middle of some mess, she thought her mummy was only sleeping. However, she couldn't see her twin brother. Seeing that she was hungry, she tried to wake her mummy up but couldn't. It felt like she was sleeping, but her mummy just wouldn't open her eyes. After a while, she realized that her mummy wasn't going to wake. She also found it strange that her daddy didn't come to see what was going on. Sure she knew that he didn't like her, but she thought he would see what was up. Not knowing what to do, she decided to stay with her mummy, as she didn't want to go far from her.
By the next day however, her hunger was so great she knew she had to get some food. So she decided to go downstairs to see if her father was down there and was just ignoring her, and hoping that her mummy would sort her out like before. So, crawling through the mess to the stairs, she knew that she had to walk down them if she wanted to get anywhere. Oh how she hated walking, it took a lot out of her and she found crawling a lot easier.
As she got downstairs and passed the front room, she saw her daddy on the ground too. Crawling up to him, she thought that he might be asleep, so she tried to wake him. But after a while, she realized like her mummy, he wasn't going to wake. So she got up and walked out of the front door that was open, but as she walked out of the front door and out of the garden she began to forget where she lived. She could remember about her mummy, daddy and her twin brother Harry, but for some strange reason she couldn't remember where she lived. Forgetting about her hunger, she tried to find her home again.
OoOoO
While Lorraine was looking for her home, a neighbour, a Joanne "Jo" Murray née Rowling, came out her house to do some shopping. Jo was a thirty-five year old house wife with three children, two sons and one daughter. Jo was a new writer, who was trying to write a new story about a boy wizard and his adventures at a magical school.
Anyway, as Jo left her house to go to the shops for dinner that night, she was shocked to see a fifteen month old girl walking, crawling actually, around the neighbourhood with no parents. The stranger thing was that she hadn't seen this girl in the neighbourhood before, so she wondered where she had come from. Seeing that it wasn't right to have the child outside with no-one to look after her, Jo brought the young girl into her home.
Once Jo brought the girl home, she checked to see if she was okay. Before she had children Jo was a mid-wife and looked after many children. As she was checking the girl, she found that the girl had a necklace on her with the name Lorraine and her date of birth on it. Jo naturally assumed that it was the baby's name.
After checking Lorraine for a short while, Jo found that the young girl was fine. So she called the police and let them sort out the rest. They had to find Lorraine's parents to find out why they had abandoned her, and if they didn't abandoned her, see if they were okay.
As the police arrived and found out what had happened they called in the local social workers. The social workers took Lorraine to some foster parents until the police were able to find her parents and find out what was going on.
However, over the next six months, the police asked the people in Godric's Hollow if they saw anything the day Jo found Lorraine, but no one had, and none of them had seen her before in their lives. Jo asked about Lorraine every so often to see how see was, she wanted to take Lorraine in herself but she didn't have the room or the money to do so. To everyone it seemed that until Jo found her, Lorraine didn't exist. None of the news reports that the police put on TV helped; no one responded.
As for Lorraine, she ended up in Saint Charles Orphanage, one of the best orphanages in England. In the last six months she had gone to ten different foster homes and hadn’t stayed in them much longer than a few weeks. When Lorraine was upset or wanted something; strange things would happen around her that the foster parents didn't understand.
Things like items being levitated, lights being turned on by themselves, toys and bottles appearing next to Lorraine and many other things. Since the foster parents were not used to these things, they asked the social workers to place her into a new home. By the end of it all, Lorraine had become known as Lorraine Strange because of all the strange things happened around her. Since it was so well known it even became the surname that the social workers put onto Lorraine’s identity forms.
Since none of the foster families wanted to look after her she was sent to Saint Charles. She stayed there for most of her life until she was eleven when she would get a letter that would change her life forever; and not for the better.
