Hey everyone! So, I came up with this idea while reading SS and I love it! Hopefully you'll all love it too! Enjoy!

A cool wind scattered the newly fallen leaves and shook the branches the trees outside the Potter's window. From outside the voices of children rang out happy and excited as they went door to door begging for sweats. All was right with the world…for now.

James Potter smiled as he watched his son Harry, dressed in baby sized quidditch robes, fly around the living room on a toy broomstick. Lilly had insisted on getting Harry all dressed up for Halloween despite the fact that she couldn't take him out trick-or-treating.

Lilly entered the room carrying a giant dish of candy. She smiled as she saw her saw her son enjoying himself and settled herself next to her husband.

"He's a real ship off the old block," she said, laughing and giving James a kiss on the cheek.

"It's true," said James, not trying to hide his pride, "but she's got his mothers gorgeous eyes."

Laughing, the two proud parents continued eating candy and watching their son. After about an hour James suddenly sat up straight, eyes wide with fear.

"What was that?" he said, "It sounded like the gate opening."

"I'm sure it was just the wind," Lilly said. Suddenly the door knob rattled and red light showed through the keyhole.

"Lilly, it's him! Take Harry and run!" James yelled, jumping to his feet, "I'll try and hold him off."

He looked at his wife, begging her with his eyes to listen to him and not fight. They stared at each other for a split second than Lilly nodded and snatched Harry from the broom. Harry scrunched up his face and began wailing, but Lilly ignored the cries as she ran upstairs.

Knowing he would never see his wife and son again, James stood upright and faced the door with his wand out. Suddenly there was a giant burst of red light and the door blew off its hinges. Standing in the doorway was a giant figure clothed in a black cloak. It was Voldemort.

"Ah, Potter!" Voldemort said, laughing his cold, cruel laugh, "Happy to see me?"

"Not really Tom, so why don't you just turn around and go home?"

More laughter, "I'm afraid I can't do that Potter. I've come for your son and I'm not leaving till I kill him."

"You'll have to kill me first!"

"Very well. Have it your way," Voldemort laughed and raised his wand, pointing it at James.

Good bye my dearest Lilly. I love you. was James last thought before the flash of green light and the darkness.

...

Tears were streaming down Lilly's face as she ran upstairs with Harry. She would never see James again and the thought alone was enough to break her heart. She ran into the nursery and locked the door behind her. Setting the still screaming Harry in his crib she sat in the rocking chair and put her head in her hands.

Come on Lilly, think! How am I supposed to get out of here with out him seeing?

But do you really want to live without James another voice inside her said. I don't want to live without James, but I must…for Harry's sake.

Again, the horrible sound of the doorknob rattling rang through the night. Knowing it was too late, Lilly grabbed Harry and held him tight in her arms, determined to make a stand.

The door opened and in came Voldemort, his wand outstretched and his red eyes livid.

"Stand aside you stupid girl!" he hissed

"Not Harry! Please not Harry! Take me instead, just don't…"

"Silence! Stand aside you stupid girl or you'll go the same way as your husband!"

"So be it…"

Voldemort raised the wand and pointed it right at Lilly Potter.

I'll be seeing you soon my love was the last thing Lilly Potter ever thought in this life.

...

Voldemort laughed his cold, cruel, unforgiving laugh as he turned to face the now orphaned Harry Potter. Now that the parents were gone destroying this little brat would be easy.

He raised his wand for the third and final time that evening and uttered the words that had killed countless others. There was another flash of green light, than suddenly, pain! Pain beyond anything he had ever experienced before. Voldemort, the greatest dark wizard of all time, succumbed to the pain and the darkness.
