Hello readers. This is my first fan fiction. Posting up first Chapter. Hope you like it. BTW I am not J.K. Rowling though I wish I was.
Now onto the story called Lily's Heart
"Lily, take Harry and go! It's him! Go! Run! I'll hold him off.
"Not Harry, not Harry, Please not Harry."
"Stand aside you silly girl… stand aside now."
"Not Harry, please no, take me, kill me instead, not Harry, have mercy, have mercy"
Voldemort cackles shrilly then pushes Lily Potter aside until she hits the wall and crumples into a heap unconscious. "Now," Voldemort points his wand with his long white hands and looks with red eyes at 1 year old Harry Potter. He smiles with triumph as he says the fateful words "Avada Kedavra" the nursery fills up with a blinding green light while a mad shrill laughter then a scream can be heard.
Lily Potter slowly awakens with a soft groan. She felt pain all over, keeping her eyes closed she re-oriented herself with her surroundings, wondering why she was on the ground then her mind caught up with her senses. She gasped "Oh Harry," as she remembers Voldemort being in that room to kill her precious son because of that fateful prophecy.
She opens her eyes and starts stumbling across the ruined nursery toward where Harry's crib was suppose to be located at. She called "HARRY," noticing that the crib was in shambles, she got no answer. She starts panicking. She looks around and sees no Harry.
"Momma?"
She sighs with relief and heads toward the sound of her child, "Oh my baby!" She said as she takes in the sight that is before her. Half the ceiling had caved in and he was under a beam and bricks. She rushes to Harry and pushes aside all the rubble hoping that he wasn't injured from the pieces of the house on top of his little body. She pushes aside the last beam with difficulty. He had been lucky and the beam had saved him from most of the damage. She picks him up and holds him to her body. He starts crying and she starts soothing him while she goes and searches for her wand. She finds the wand in the master bedroom. She picks it up and whispers a incantation and a doe emerges from the tip of her wand. It turns around and looks at her expectantly.
"Message for Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts." The doe bows its head.
"Albus, Voldemort attacked, I think he is dead, James. . ." she pauses, "has also died, please come and help with me and Harry, Lily"
She starts heading for the downstairs hallway. She takes Harry's face and says "look at me Harry," as she starts descending the staircase. She passes her dead husband on the staircase. "Just keep looking at me Harry," she pleads as she heads toward the living room to wait for Dumbledore.
A few minutes later she hears a few pops from apparition outside of the cottage. She hears knocking and heads to the front door. She gets her wand ready and slowly opens the door. She sees it is Albus Dumbledore, Remus Lupin, Sirus Black, and Severus Snape. She doesn't move to lower her wand and instead directly points it at Dumbledores purple and starry robes and in a shaky voice said, "What was Harry's first word he uttered?"
Dumbledore calmly says, "Moony."
Lily lowered her wand and ushered the group of men into the cottage. Sirius catches sight of James Potter lying motionless on the stairs, eyes void of emotion, unblinking. There was a strangled sob from both him and Remus. "James," said Sirius as he goes over and grabs and holds his best friend since 11 years old. He starts to cry in earnest while Remus holds onto James had while silent tears fall down his tortured face.
Taking in on this sight, Lily collapses from her own grief, Dumbledore quickly grabs Harry as she falls. She feels warm arms engulf her, catching her fall, whispering comforting nonsense in her ear. After 10 minutes of sobbing she starts calming down and notices that the arms who are holding her have black sleeves and long slender fingers. Realizing that is was Severus Snape she gently detangles herself from his arms and pushes away muttering a thank you. She looks up and wipes her eyes and notices that Sirius is not in sight. She sniffs, "Where did Padfoot go?"
"He just stood up and walked outside, I think he needed some air and time for himself" replied Dumbledore looking concerned.
"Momma you okay?" Asked Harry looking at his mother with worry of a 1 year old. Lily takes Harry from Dumbledore, wiping her eyes.
"I will be fine Harry," She murmurs thinking that it wasn't the best time to teach about life and death. Harry snuggles against her chest and puts his thumb in his mouth satisfied with her answer and slowly starts closing his hand, falling asleep to the rocking motion as Lily comforts her child and herself. She brushes aside his hair, which was so like James, she thought to herself. She whispers, "Albus, come have a look at this." Dumbledore comes to stand beside her while she shows him the lightning shape scar, still inflamed. "How peculiar, what do you think it is?" She asked.
Dumbledore ponders it and almost to himself says softly "and mark him like his equal."
"Excuse me?" Lily asked surprised.
"The prophecy, I fear that Voldemort is not completely gone" Dumbledore said somberly at Lily. She looks over at Severus and notices that he has paled but replied nothing.
"How did Harry survive this killing curse and leave just a scar?" Remus asked.
"That I do not know m'boy," replied Dumbledore.
A few hours later showed everyone in the sitting room, with James laid gently on a conjured table with his favorite blanket draped over him. Lily with Harry asleep in her arms was in between Dumbledore who had his fingers steepled and was pondering things over and Remus who had a glass of firewhiskey in his hands with red rimmed eyes sniffling. Severus was over in the chair near the fire and he had a bottle of mead in his hand and he kept subtly glancing over at Lily. Like he was afraid she would break down again.
All of a sudden the fire flared green making them all jump. Alastar "Mad-Eye" Moody spins through the grate and stands up - surveying the scene before his eyes. He catches Dumbledore's attention and beckons him to the kitchen.
They come out a few minutes later and Moody leaves giving a vicious glare to Severus. After Moody leaves Dumbledore looking troubled cleared his throat. He pauses.
"Spit it out Headmaster. We don't have all day," Severus drawled.
Dumbledore sighs and looks at Lily somberly. "Sirius has been sent to Azkaban for betraying you and James to Voldemort. Mr Pettigrew tried to enact justice on Sirius and got killed in the process along with 13 innocent muggles in the vicinity."
"NO!" cried Lily and Remus. They started renewed sobbing holding onto one another for comfort over the loss of their friend and betrayal of another.
