Never Gonna Be Alone

Chapter One: The first Christmas

"He's beautiful," Lily whispered, staring at her son who slept peacefully on Christmas Eve, "He looks like you, James."

James laughed and nodded, "He does." He peered down at the sleeping baby and said, "But he has his mother's beautiful eyes."

Petunia walked into the room where James and Lily stared at their son, and placed a crying Dudly into a crib across the room room from Harry's.

Petunia slowly walked to Harry's crib and looked in with tears in her eyes, "Lily," Petunia whispered softly, "You have Lily's eyes." The tears escaped from Petunia's eyes and she whispered down toward Harry, "Lily, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I love you and miss you. Lily, if you can hear me, wherever you are... I miss you."

Lily stepped away from her husband's side and placed a hand on her sister's shoulder, "It's okay, Tuney. It's okay. I miss you too."

James walked over, placed a hand on Lily's back and whispered, "I think she knows. I think she can... sense somehow."

Petunia looked around behind her, feeling sudden warmth. She walked back to Dudly's crib and leaned down and placed a kiss on his forehead, "Merry Christmas, Dudly. Merry Christmas, Harry."

Lily watched as her sister left the room. Tears welled up in her eyes, and James came to comfort her.

"It's alright," he whispered softly, "She knew, Lily."

Lily nodded and wiped the tears away. She leaned down toward Harry and said, "You're in for some rough years, my darling. But you'll be strong. I know you will. Even though you can't see, Mummy and Daddy are always right by your side. We're always here." She placed a tender kiss on his forehead and he stirred peacefully in his sleep.

You're never gonna be alone," James added.

Harry slept, unknowingly, with his parents right there with him. He slept through the night, stirring softly every time Lily reached down to touch him.

A/N: Hey, I know this is really short. This is the first Fan Fiction that I've posted, so don't expect it to be all that good, because I'm not a great writer. Expect more chapters in the near future! Please review, the next chapter won't be up without at least three reviews!
