PROLOGUE

October 31, 1981

It was just a few minutes to midnight. In the parlor of a wooden cottage were the only people living in the house. With expressions of happiness and smiles on their faces, the two proud parents were looking at their only son playing. Harry Potter was a baby who was loved beyond belief by his parents. He felt safe with them but what baby Harry didn`t know was behind the masks of his parents lay great fear for the well-being of their only son.

Lilly and James Potter were aware of the present situation they were in and of the grave danger that lay ahead for their son. They both vowed to each other that they would do anything to keep their son alive and safe from the wrath of Lord Voldemort.

Looking at her son who was playing with her husband, Lily was content. She began thinking about the past year and how her life changed so much. She was deeply lost in her thoughts that she was shaken when James suddenly sat straight. Alerted by the movement, she began to listen for any sounds out of place.

''Lily, take Harry upstairs and I`ll try to give you as much time as possible. I will stall him. Go and run.'' whispered James urgently to his wife. Lily, wondering if she would ever see him again, picked up the baby and ran upstairs.

Soon Lily heard a blood curling scream that belong to her husband and heard footsteps come up the stairs. Voldemort pointed his wand at her son and with the adrenaline pumping through her she stepped in front of her son. The last thing she saw was a blast of green light and she thought that her family of three were no more.

Some Amount Of Time Later

She was unable to get get up or even open her eyes. She thought that she had died. She just lay there with no track of time. It was then when she felt hands surround and what sounded like her husband cry over her, Lily slowly opened her eyes. ''James,'' she said hoarsely slightly smiling. When she saw the troubled expression on his face, she realized something was wrong. ''Harry?!'' she almost but shouted.

Unable to answer her question, James kept quite. At last he replied "He`s gone, dear" and pointed to the blasted crib and the destroyed wall.

"Let's get away from here, go some place where no one can know or identify us" were the only words from her mouth.

Lily didn't want to be any where that would remind her of her baby anymore and James agreed with her.
