~Look into my eyes - you will see
What you mean to me
Search your heart - search your soul
And when you find me there you'll search no more~
James and Lily Potter. The perfect couple, as everyone knew. The newly married couple was out on the dance floor, swaying gently to the song that played through muggle speakers. Lily's eyes were closed, her head leaned against James's shoulders and his arms draped around her waist.
~Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for You know it's true Everything I do - I do it for you~
Less than a month later, was the first attack on the married couple and the second attack on them in general. Voldemort found Lily at home alone while James was at Sirius's house. Lily had been ill and didn't feel like going along. An unsuspecting Lily sat on the couch in the living room, waiting for James to come back, when a wand was suddenly pointed at the back of her head. She froze. There came a sudden burst of noise and the wand was knocked away. Whirling around, all Lily saw was a mass of cloaks and fists flying. "Lily, go!"Came James's voice. "Av-"Voldemort was cut off as Lily's foot made contact with his jaw. James jumped to his feet and grabbed hold of Lily's arm. As they ran from the house, Lord Voldemort apparated out, exploding it in the process.
~Look into my heart - you will find There's nothin' there to hide Take me as I am - take my life I would give it all I would sacrifice Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for I can't help it there's nothin' I want more Ya know it's true Everything I do - I do it for you~
Lily hugged Harry tight at the sound of Voldemorts curse and a body hitting the ground. A sudden lurch in her heart and she knew what had happened. James was dead. The door was suddenly blasted open in a rush of green light. Gasping, Lily layed Harry in his crib, throwing a blanket over him.
"Step aside mudblood."Came the soft hissing voice of Lord Voldemort.
"No, take me. Not Harry, he's only a baby!"
~Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for I can't help it there's nothin' I want more I would fight for you - I'd lie for you Walk the wire for you - Ya I'd die for you~
"Move, girl!"
"No!"
"AVADA KEDAVRA!" Lily crumpled to the floor, toppling the crib as she went.
~Ya know it's true Everything I do - I do it for you~
"Your mother died to save you. If there is one thing Voldemort doesn't understand, it is love. He didn't realize that love as powerful as your mother's for you leaves its own mark. Not a scar, no visible sign...to have been loved so deeply, will give us some protection forever. It is in your very skin. Quirrel, full of hatred, greed, and ambition, sharing his soul with Voldemort, could not touch you for this reason. It was agony to touch a person marked by something so good."-Albus Dumbledore
