The Boys Who Lived

A shadow moved swiftly through the dark streets of Amity Park only stopping when a house with a huge Fenton billboard could be seen. With the rain pelting his back Sirius Black clutched the little bundle in his arms tighter while whispering to it, "You'll be safe here Daniel," before leaving the child on the door step. Ringing the doorbell Sirius disappeared in a puff of black smoke.

"Hello," a young, ginger haired women asked opening the door, the response she got was a cry in discomfort from the baby laying on the porch, "oh you poor dear!"

"Maddie what's wrong," a huge man asked his wife coming up behind her and looking over her shoulder to see the baby, "whoa, did you just have a baby?"

"Jack, get some towels," Maddie ordered, "there no telling how long he was sitting on our porch!"

After the young boy warm and fed, the couple read the envelope while the infant gurgle with happiness in Maddie's arms.

Dear newest parents of Daniel Potter,

I am sorry to have to leave young Daniel in your care so suddenly, but I hope you will take care of him and protect him none the less. It is necessary that you not tell Daniel any of this until he is eleven or older, it is for his own protection that you do as I ask. If he asks, and I'm sure he will when you tell him, what happened to his real parents then just tell him that he will need to seek me or his brother out for those answers.

With much gratitude,

Remus Lupin,

Daniel's god-father

"Jack, can we-?" Maddie asked cutting herself off.

"Of course we can Maddie," Jack replied laying a hand on his wife's shoulder.

"Mommy, Daddy?" a little ginger headed girl asked walking down the stairs after hearing the commotion.

"Jazz what are you doing up?" Jack asked going to pick up his daughter.

"I heard yelling and thought I'd come and see what it was," Jazz replied blinking her big, blue eyes up at her father with innocence.

"Sorry if we woke you," Maddie said rocking the infant in her arms a little.

"But since you're up we don't have to wait for tomorrow to tell you the good news!" Jack rambled.

"What news?" Jazz asked as Jack carried her over to his wife and Daniel.

"Jazz, meet your brother, Daniel," Maddie said holding out the infant for the four year old to take.

"My brother," Jazz said realizing that she liked the way that sounded.
