Albus Dumbledore was sitting in his office in Hogwarts. His wrinkled right hand leisurely brushing his white beard, his blue eyes in that far away look that said he was in a very deep thought. His eyes twinkled behind his half moon spectacles, as he thought back to his plans that were falling into place. He was more than sure that he can defeat Voldemort once and for all, but that's all in the future. The Prophecy was a welcome factor, though both the Longbottom kid and Potter kid were born in the end of the month of July, but the Potters would fit in the Prophecy than the Longbottoms.

He knew the moment Voldemort heard of the Prophecy he would go after the kids, so he placed the Potters under Fidelius Charm with Peter Pettigrew as the secret keeper, not because he trusted Peter more than any other Marauders, though that was part of the truth, but because Peter was easy to manipulate than Sirius or Remus. Though he knew the Marauders would never go to the Dark Side, they had their own ideas. They had more than once contradicted his plans and ideas. Why would they always question him? Can't they see that his intentions were good? He was not happy with the way the war was waging out in the world. Many great witches and wizards of the Wizarding Britain dead, with many children left orphaned. The every growing death on his side was taking its toll on Albus.

He tried so much to reach out to Voldemort—no Tom—but the boy has refused to see reason. So, Albus was forced to act. This led to the establishment of the Order of the Phoenix. The Order consists of most Gryffindors, with Severus as their Spy.

Speak of the devil-

- And he came running into Albus' Office, with a very worried look on his face. The moment Albus fell in his line of sight he said, "Albus! Thank Merlin!"

Albus' eyes grew wide, seeing how much frantic the younger man looked. "Severus, what is it?"

"He knows!" Severus said, "He knows where she is. He's gone after Lily and her family"

Albus stood stock-still. This cannot be happening. This cannot be happening at all. Peter wouldn't have ratted them out. Would he?

But Severus just continued, "You have to save them, Albus. Please save her", he begged.

Albus directly apparated from his office, a special power given to the Headmaster, to the area where he roughly knew the Potter house was in the Godric Hallows. One look at the clearly visible safe house, and Albus knew that Peter was very much dead. He run toward the house with what little strength he had in his older years. The first thing he saw was the body of the very much dead James Potter, face down in the hallway. He ran up the stairs where he knew the nursery was. As he climbed up the stairs, he could clearly here the voice of Lily, "Please, not my son! I beg you" and everything was eerily silent. As he reached the doorway of the nursery, he saw the very obvious green light of the Killing Curse flowing from the wand of Voldemort to the little baby in the crib.

Recovering from the shock, Albus ran to the crib and examined the little baby. Miraculously, the baby was still alive with remnants of tears in flowing down his cheeks. But the place where Voldemort stood had a pile of Ash. Did that mean Voldemort was gone? Picking up the baby, Albus walked out of the house. He was saddened to find that James, Lily and Peter were dead, but it was all for the greater good. The child was still alive. He may have lost his parents today, but he emerged victoriously with only a scar on his forehead. He would be known as the Savior of the Wizarding World. And when the time comes, he would be nurtured by Albus to stand against Voldemort again and kill him once and for all. With the decision made he apparated straight to the drive way of No 4, Privet Drive. He deposited the little child with a letter that explained the situation. Hoping against hope that the sister of Lily would find it in her heart to love the child, he knocked the door and apparated away.

Little did the old, wise, all-knowing Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts, Great Sorcerer, Supreme Mugwump, Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot, knew that he was played by the people he trusted in his Order.
