A/N So this is my first harry potter fanfic... and I love Lily & James (so you're probably thinking why are you writing this story) and I wanted to give them an ending. Not sure if this idea is out there already, but here's my spin on their last night. Please note that some parts will be taken from pg 280-282 in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Please enjoy and review!
Disclaimer: I own nothing :(
Lily's POV
I walked into our cosy living room in Godric's Hollow, to see James sending puffs of smoke from the end of his wand to amuse our son, Harry. Harry was giggling, and his cute laugh was causing James to laugh as well.
"I love my two boys." I grinned. James turned around to face me.
"We love you too Lils. Isn't that right Harry? We love mummy." James said, getting up and stretching, before coming over to me and planting a kiss on my lips. I kissed him back, before picking up Harry. Just then, I heard a creak from the front hall. James whipped around, his eyes wide.
"Lily! Take Harry and go! It's him! Go! Run! I'll hold him off-"
"I love you James, forever." I said.
"I love you forever too. Now go hurry." He said, sprinting into the front hall.
I raced up the stairs to our room. I heard "avada kedavra" and a body drop to the floor.
"James!" I shrieked. I stopped throwing stuff against the door and placed Harry in his crib, kissing him on the forehead, tears in my eyes.
The door burst open and there he stood. Dark eyes and slits for a nose. I stood in front of the crib, shielding Harry.
"Not Harry, not Harry, please not Harry." I begged.
"Stand aside you silly girl... stand aside now!" he ordered. Over my dead body. It struck me as a little ironic that that was the phrase that popped into my mind.
"Not Harry, please no! kill me instead..."
"this is my last warning." He said, angry.
"Not Harry. Please not Harry! Have mercy, have mercy! Please I'll do anything. Just not Harry."
"Stand aside- stand aside" he said, pulling out his wand.
"Avada Kedavra" he shouted, and I felt my world go black.
I don't know how long it was before I opened my eyes. I stood up, feeling light and saw James in the door way and heard Harry crying.
"James! Your alive! Oh thank Merlin! Where did he go? We're okay!" I cried joyfully. "What's wrong?" I asked, for he was looking behind me with a heart broken look. I looked behind me and gasped.
For there I was, lying on the floor. Dead. I looked back at James and he crossed the room.
"I'm sorry Lily. I should have grabbed my wand. It was right there." He said sadly.
I looked into the crib.
"James!" I gasped.
"What?" he asked, truly not wanting to look.
"Harry. He's alive! He survived!" I cried. James looked and grinned.
"Your sacrifice saved him Lily." He said.
"And your sacrifice bought us some time." I answered. "But how did he know we were here?" I asked.
"Peter. He must have sold us to the dark lord. He has be distant this past year. Sirius knew someone was a spy." James said grimly.
"James, what happens to us? Are we ghosts now?" I asked.
"No. This is when we choose if we're ready to move on." James said.
"I-I don't know. We need to stay with Harry." I reasoned.
"Lils, there's not much we can do for him now. Let's just go. We'll be together, forever. We can still watch over him from time to time, I'm sure we can." I stood rooted to the spot. "Lily?"
I looked at him, then the crib. Sighing, I looked at our son once more and crossed the room, taking James' hand. "Forever." I repeated.
And with that, we disappeared in a blinding light, together forever, even in death.
A/N love it? Hate it? Just let me know. I just didn't want their end to just be poof your dead so...
