Lily and James Potter had been ecstatic when they found out that they were going to be parents. When they found out that they were having twins it made it even better. And what made that even better was that their friends Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, and Alice and Frank Longbottom were expecting too. Remus and Sirius had both gotten married not long after James and Lily had. Remus to a blonde haired grey-eyed witch named Alana Masters, and Sirius to a brown haired blue-eyed witch named Christy Richard. Now their names were of course Alana Lupin and Christy Black.

Sirius and Christy had been first. All of their friends had gathered at St. Mungos and they all heard Christy curse Sirius for all her pain and claim she would kill him when she was out of the hospital. It had been hilarious. When they had brought out the baby boy, who looked so much like Sirius, but had Christy's icy blue eyes, they had all cheered. Sirius and Christy looked happier than they ever had before. They named their son Jake, Jake Black.

After Sirius and Christy it had been Remus and Alana. Once again all their friends had gathered at the hospital, but this time there was no cheering. Alana had gotten sick a few weeks prior and she was very weak when they brought her to the in. she didn't survive the birth, but her daughter did. She had Alana's Light blonde hair and liquid silver eyes that, even as a newborn had an intelligent look about them. Alana had named her Jackie before she had died. Remus had been so sad and depressed after Alana's death that he was in no shape to raise a child, not at the moment, so Alice had offered to take Jackie in, at least until Remus was well enough take care of her himself. Alice had been happy to help Lily's friend and she knew it must have been hard for Remus.

Alice couldn't help but be shocked when she discovered that Jackie never cried, even when she hurt herself. She would just look up at her and ask with her eyes "well? Aren't you supposed to take care of me? Do something!" Jackie was in all ways mature for her age, which was extremely odd, especially since she wasn't even yet a month old. It wasn't like she was walking and reading already, but it was in the way she seemed to understand everything going on around her.

Everyone had been surprised when Lily and Alice had gone in labor on the same night, Lily's twin boys and Alice's boy being born only minutes apart. Lily named her twins Harry and Harvey, Harry was the oldest by two minutes, and Alice named her son Neville. Harry couldn't look more different than his sibling. He had black unruly hair and bright emerald eyes, while Harvey had flat red hair and also had emerald eyes. Lily mad Sirius Harry's godfather and Remus Harvey's. A few days after Lily and Alice had left the hospital with their newborns Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster at Hogwarts, had approached them about a prophecy that was about either Harry, Harvey, or Neville. He told them that Voldemort, a dark wizard that had started a war and was bent on killing all muggleborns and half-blood to make the wizard world 'pure,' would most likely target their sons because he had heard part of the prophecy and knew that one of them could possibly defeat him one day. The prophecy went like this:

The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches

Born to those who have thrice defied him

Born as the seventh month dies

And the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will power the Dark Lord knows not

And with the help of his four friends who stand as strong as a pack

Will stop him of his wrong doings

One must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives

If the one with good intentions lives

Then the one with strength and intelligence will bring the worlds that were so long separated together

And all will be at peace
