The Girl Who Lived

Chapter 1

3rd Person POV

A man walked into the neighborhood unaware of what he would see when he reaches his house. He looked around to see if anyone was following him. None. Good. Walking a few blocks, he reached his house and it wasn't what he expected. Ruins. Panicked, he rushed inside and tried to find his family. Silence. "Honey? Are you alright?". No response. And then when he reached his child's room, he saw...

"No!", he shouted in disbelief, "Iseul, wake up!". He shook his wife awake but to no avail. "No", he repeated again, "He couldn't have known she was here. The Fidelius charm was supposed to work. Unless he gave away the location.". The man started sobbing. He lost his wife. The love of his life. And then a voice came. Not from the woman but from a cradle nearby. A sweet, soft, and requesting voice. The man looked up. "YN?", he spoke softly in wonder. The small baby was extending both her arms as if she wanted her father to take her in his arms. He took her from the cradle and looked at her daughter in amazement. "How is it possible?", he muttered, "He didn't kill you, or did you survive the curse?". He sat down with the girl. "I better send the Order a Patronus to inform them.". The man waved his wand and a tiger burst out of it. But it was transparent and shining like it was made out of mist and smoke. "Come to Godric's Hollow immediately. I have news", he said to the Patronus-tiger. Little YN was looking at all this curiously in wonder. The man looked at the girl in his lap. Not because he was thinking, but because he couldn't afford to look at his wife's body lying next to him. Just thinking about that made his heart ache and unknowingly, a tear slipped out. YN saw it. Extending her chubby little hands, she wiped it. Her father was surprised but then gave her a sad smile. This girl looked so much like him, but she behaved exactly like Iseul. And her eyes. Of course, they were exactly like Iseul too.

Just then he heard footsteps. A tiny man with a tall hat came in, "Daejung, we got your message-". The man stopped mid-sentence. Other people behind him flowed into the room and all stopped in their tracks. "Oh Iseul!", a young black-haired witch exclaimed while holding her hands to her mouth. Daejung looked down at the floor as if he was trying not to cry. Then, a tall man, with a long silver beard, half-moon spectacles and a crooked nose stepped forward. He went to the unconscious woman and checked her. "It's a Killing curse that killed her Daejung.". Daejung gulped, "I know Albus. But how could You-Know-Who know she was here?". Albus was silent because he didn't want to say what was going on in his mind. Daejung then showed the girl on his lap to Albus and the crowd. The crowd gasped and Albus was surprised. "My my", he said in wonder, "How did YN survive?". Albus examined the girl and then noticed something. As he raised the girl's bangs, he saw a scar on her forehead. A lightning-shaped scar. "Well?", Daejung inquired. "Voldemort,", Albus said while many cringed, "tried to kill your child.". "How come she is not dead?", a giant man with a bushy beard asked. "It backfired on Voldemort himself.". Everyone gasped. "So, does that mean he is gone?", the same lady who gasped on Iseul's death asked. "Yes.", replied Albus slowly. Everyone rejoiced while Daejung gave a small smile. "I know this isn't really the time to celebrate because Iseul... you know...", a short wheezy person said. "Elphias,", Daejung smiled at him, "It's ok. You-know-who is gone, and the Dark Era is over. It is indeed a time to celebrate. I'm happy for the Wizarding world too... It's just that I need some time to cope up with all this.". Elphias squeezed his shoulder. Little YN in his lap was looking at everyone curiously. Then she turned towards the body of her mother and crawled towards it. The room went silent as everyone was looking at the little girl. The little girl shook her mother by the shoulders as if she was telling her mother to wake up. Then when her attempts failed, she looked towards her father and then gestured him to help her wake Iseul up. Daejung was quiet at his daughter's attempt but then picked YN up and faced YN away from the sight of her mother. "I think", he said, "I'm going to move away from here. This place has too many memories.". Everyone nodded. "We better tell the wizarding world about this.", Albus said getting up with a smile on his face. Everyone nodded and departed except Albus. "Daejung", he spoke to the young man sitting on the floor with his daughter, "Keep your daughter hidden from the world till she goes to Hogwarts. We cannot risk the Death Eaters trying to kill her. There will be some who will stay out of Azkaban vying for revenge.". Daejung nodded and this time there was a look of determination on his face, "Of course Albus. I'll do anything to keep my daughter safe."
