Harry Potter’s arrival into the world brought a new kind of wonder to Lily’s life, but it was tinged with peculiarities that set him apart. Magical children often dispyed unusual traits compared to their Muggle counterparts, yet Harry’s behaviors were extraordinary, even by wizarding standards.

  At just three months old, he began to crawl with surprising coordination, a feat that left Lily both amazed and curious. By six months, he was walking, his tiny steps steady and purposeful.

  Lily had read that magical children developed faster in their early years, but Harry’s progress was nothing short of remarkable. It hinted at something deeper, something beyond the norms of magic.

  Now, at eleven months—nearly twelve—Harry could easily be mistaken for a preschooler. His growth and awareness were startling, and Lily found herself smiling at the small victories. Potty training, a task she’d dreaded, proved effortless, much to her relief.

  One quiet afternoon, Harry looked up at her, his green eyes bright with curiosity. Dressed in a tiny outfit adorned with Gryffindor colors, his messy bck hair already untamable, he asked, “Mum, why is Dad always gone?”

  The question caught Lily off guard. Harry’s vocabury was astonishing for his age, his words clear and thoughtful. Strangely, he never dispyed this level of articuteness around James.

  Lily had mentioned Harry’s advanced speech to James a few times, only to be met with gentle teasing that made her doubt herself. After the third instance, she stopped bringing it up, wondering if she was imagining things.

  “Harry, I don’t know,” she replied softly, meeting his gaze. “Your father will be back soon.”

  Harry gave a small shrug and returned to his book, a children’s tale he seemed to absorb with unusual focus. Unlike other toddlers, he showed little interest in typical py.

  He preferred reading, drawing intricate patterns, or building eborate structures with blocks. Lily treasured these moments, joining him in stacking towers, though a quiet fear lingered that their time together might be fleeting.

  The Daily Prophet arrived each morning, its pages growing bleaker with every issue. Reports of deaths and destruction piled up, names of friends and acquaintances among the fallen. Lily’s hands trembled as she read, the weight of the war pressing heavily on her heart.

  Worse still were the dreams that pgued her, vivid and unsettling, which she kept secret from everyone. In them, a woman’s voice whispered cryptic truths, ciming Harry was a gift—a child destined for greatness, with Lily merely the vessel to bring him into the world.

  Even in waking hours, the woman’s presence lingered, her words echoing: Harry would be strong, powerful beyond measure. The visions were haunting, yet they resonated with Lily’s instincts.

  She didn’t dispute the voice’s cims. Harry was special, not just in a mother’s biased eyes but in a way that felt profound. He was destined for extraordinary things, and Lily vowed to nurture that potential.

  Her thoughts were interrupted by James’s sudden return. His face was pale, his voice uncharacteristically grave, a stark contrast to his usual carefree demeanor.

  “Lily,” he said, urgency cing his words, “I just got back from speaking with Dumbledore. He’s got some news.”

  Lily’s heart skipped a beat, sensing the weight of what was to come. The world seemed to pause, the air thick with the promise of revetions that would change everything.
