"--------------------
I'm writing from the ENT doctor's waiting room while I wait to be seen, hahaha...
Quick story: I almost got into a fight with an idiot waiting for the bus. When I was about to get into a fighting stance, I thought: I need to finish writing the chapter; it's better to get back quickly. So, I just turned my back and walked away as calmly as possible. If the guy came after me to attack, I'd respond. But he just stayed there throwing some pretty lame insults when I was already half a block away. Typical day in Latam.
"--------------------
"What day is it today?" asked Sirius, looking at Harry's frightened face.
Just then, they heard the sound of someone arriving at the house's door.
"All right, I'll go see who it is," said James calmly.
"No!" Harry shouted in fear, making everyone freeze.
"What's wrong, Harry?" Lily asked, confused, looking at the older Harry.
"Relax, maybe it's Lupin or some of the Order of the Phoenix. Dumbledore said he was going to send someone to help keep watch while Sirius was away. He probably doesn't know Sirius is back yet," said James.
"Seriously, these people?" Stephen said, sighing at how foolishly trusting they were. "You're supposed to be hiding because a completely insane dark wizard is after you. And you don't even have traps aside from the Fidelius Charm."
"It's Voldemort. Wormtail is the traitor, he told him where you lived!" Harry said quickly, making everyone turn serious.
"Are you sure, Harry? Wormtail is our friend," said James quickly, not knowing what to believe. After all, Stephen had told them they would be betrayed, but he hadn't specified who.
Obediently, Stephen hadn't suddenly told them their childhood friend was the traitor when they'd only just met him. After all, a normal person would likely kick them out of their house.
"Just in case, how about everyone gets ready? If Harry is wrong, he can apologize later," Natasha said, intervening as the person continued to linger outside.
Following Natasha's advice, everyone pulled out their wands and prepared themselves while Lily and Petunia hid the babies in a wardrobe. Of course, they gave them plenty of toys and cast a light charm.
Then, James quickly cast a protective charm on the wardrobe in case any spells flew in that direction.
Sirius and James quickly took their positions on either side of the door, wands in hand, and glanced at each other before nodding.
With his wand, James slowly turned the door handle. But the person on the other side seemed unwilling to wait any longer, and the door was blown off its hinges.
Sirius and James immediately started firing spells at the intruder, but the figure, moving like black mist, dodged every attack with ease.
Harry also joined the attack, launching several rapid spells from a distance.
At that moment, the intruder realized there were more people than he had been told about, but he was still confident in his power.
"Avada Kedavra!" he shouted, pointing at James, who was closest, with a malicious grin full of madness.
Sigh. Stephen grew tired of watching and created a portal with his hands right in front of the fatal spell, and another appeared in front of the intruder.
Then everyone watched as the green light entered the first portal and emerged from the second, hitting the intruder's chest. The intruder obviously didn't have time to dodge since it all happened in less than a second.
"What?! " he screamed before collapsing lifelessly to the ground.
Everyone was stunned by what had happened and approached the corpse with their wands drawn.
"It's Voldemort!" Sirius said in surprise, staring at the body lying on the floor.
James, equally shocked, turned to look at Stephen and the others, who were all watching calmly.
"This is the second time a Voldemort dies because of our interference," said Tony.
"Should we go to other universes to hunt down more Voldys?" Wanda asked.
"Maybe if we run into them," Stephen said as he walked over to Sirius and James.
"Looks like Dumbledore was right, a guest was coming," Stephen said sarcastically.
"Seems like our headmaster is a bit suspicious. Just like the last one we had to catch," Loki said with disdain. After all, he still didn't like Dumbledore.
"Maybe it was just a coincidence," James said quickly.
"Then, test him. Tell him someone arrived, and you don't know if it's an enemy," Stephen said quickly. "He gave you something to send a quick message, right?" he asked, looking at him with interest.
"Yes. I have a phoenix feather," James replied, hesitantly.
"Do it, James. We need to know if he's truly on our side. I've been doubting him for a while now. Ever since he prevented Petunia from being the Secret Keeper," Lily said, stepping out from behind the others.
Hearing his wife, James complied and quickly wrote a note that read: We have a possible enemy who found a way to get in. Send help. Then, he placed it with the phoenix feather and, with his wand, sent it away.
They all waited for a few seconds, and soon a flame appeared, leaving a piece of paper on the table in front of James.
James looked at the others and slowly picked up the note, reading it out loud.
"Don't worry, I already told Sirius to go quickly. Try to hold on for a few seconds," James said, looking at the note in confusion.
Then everyone looked in Sirius's direction, waiting for the note to appear in front of him.
But after more than five minutes, nothing happened.
"Maybe he sent someone to inform him where he was supposed to be," James said quickly.
"Really, James? Open your eyes. If it were something this serious, he would send a note like now. Don't you get it? He's obsessed with that professor," Lily said angrily. "He doesn't even want to tell us how she really is."
"But it's Dumbledore. He's been fighting against Voldemort for years," James said as he sat down, trying to process what he was hearing.
"Well, to be honest..." Petunia said, and everyone turned to look at her.
"I noticed that Dumbledore never actually interfered in the war. Yes, he created the Order of the Phoenix, but he always arrived when the battles were already over," she said quickly, making the others think and try to remember.
"No... it can't be..." James said as he realized the truth, feeling as if he had been struck by a shocking revelation.
After a while, with everyone remaining silent, they saw a flame appear in front of Sirius, from which a note fell.
Nearly half an hour later, the note finally arrived. Sirius, somewhat angry, grabbed the note quickly and read it.
"The Potter family might be in danger." Upon reading those words, Sirius angrily destroyed the note.
"After all this time, the note finally arrives! By now, everyone would probably be dead!" he said, rage evident in his voice.
Now everyone had confirmed that Dumbledore didn't even know where Sirius was. They also heard noises outside the house from someone running toward them, and the ground shook a bit, indicating the person was quite heavy.
"James, Lily, Petunia! Are you all right?" Hagrid burst in quickly, his concern evident as he saw the house's door was missing.
When he entered the house, he saw everyone pointing their wands at him, so he stopped in his tracks.
"What happened?" he asked quickly.
Seeing that it was Hagrid, everyone lowered their wands with a sigh.
"We were attacked," Sirius said, pointing at Voldemort's corpse.
"By Merlin! Is that Voldemort?" Hagrid said, shocked.
"What are you doing here, Hagrid? Did Dumbledore send you?" James asked, his voice hiding a hint of bitterness.
"No. I just wanted to check if the children were all right," Hagrid said without realizing anything unusual.
"They're fine," said Petunia, who was looking through the wardrobe door where baby Harry and baby Dudley were sleeping peacefully, hugging their stuffed animals.
"That's good. So... is the war over?" Hagrid asked, feeling a little happy about Voldemort's defeat.
"Obviously not. His followers are still out there. But we have to wait for the Order to arrive to get this thing out of my house," Lily said with disdain toward Voldemort's dead body.
"In the meantime, we'd better move him away," Hagrid said, taking the corpse and leaving it outside the house. After that, he went to retrieve the door that had been blown off and put it back where it belonged.
Meanwhile, the Potter family and the others were preparing some tea to calm themselves while they waited for the Order of the Phoenix to arrive. Hagrid also joined them, and after they began to relax, they started hearing the sound of people apparating outside the house, one after another.
The door to the house opened quickly, and Lupin, followed by some of the professors and members of the Order of the Phoenix, entered the house with concern.
To their surprise, they saw everyone calmly drinking tea and eating snacks alongside people they didn't know but who seemed to be getting along well with the Potter family.
"You arrived quite late," Sirius said, a bit of disdain in his voice.
