The war was moving across the wizarding world. Wizards and witches teamed up to fight it. Severus Snape was supposed to be with the death eaters, but he couldn't stay with them. He needed to find the Potters. He needed to save Lily or else he would never forgive himself.

"Pettigrew!" Severus said as he found him alone.

Peter turned around to face him, but turned away quickly. "Leave me alone, Snivellus. We have war to take care of." He muttered.

"I won't leave you alone. Not until you tell me where your friend is hiding and his wife too. The Dark Lord's going to find them and kill them tonight. Is that what you want?" He asked as he grabbed the collar of Peter's robe. He pulled him close so that he was breathing in his face. "Now where are they? I will kill you if you do not tell me immediately!"

Peter moaned as he was choked. He waited until he couldn't breathe before confessing exactly where James and Lily were. Severus let go of him so fast that Peter smashed into a wall rather hard.

Peter felt pain fill his entire body. He sat up slowly in case Severus was still there.

"Did you tell our master where the Potter family was?" Severus asked through clenched teeth. He kicked him when he shook and was silent. Peter nodded through tears.

"I didn't want to tell. They were my friends. Please stop him. I don't want to be in trouble." Peter screamed.

The last thing Peter saw was Severus's black figure before he let himself fall back again.

"I'm coming. I'm coming, Lily." Severus whispered again and again as he made his way to Godric's Hallow. He was fast. He didn't want to be stopped by anyone. Many people were already dead on the road.

Memories of Lily ran through his mind. He remembered her sister arguing with her. Her fighting with James and those darn Marauders. James Potter having married his love didn't even matter now. If he could rescue James along with Lily he would. It didn't matter who had Lily as long as Lily was alive.

"Where are you going?" A woman's deep cold voice stopped Severus in his tracks.

Severus stopped where he was. "You have your duties to take care of for the Dark Lord tonight as do I, Bella. Please just take care of them as I will." He said to her hopefully.

"Our master will catch you if you're up to trouble, Severus." Bellatrix said firmly. "Where are you going? Tonight's the night we bring down that Mud..."

"Don't call her that!" Severus stood up for Lily without thinking.

Bellatrix looked at Severus questioningly. "What are you on about? You've alligned with the dark lord and yet you don't want to call a Mudblood what it is?" She asked in confusion.

"You should be with the rest of the death eaters. What the dark lord wants me to do is between him and I." Severus said and Bellatrix looked at him curiously. "Get back to him already!" Severus shouted.

Bellatrix pulled her robe closer around herself. The air was cool tonight. She didn't trust Severus, but she knew not to question her master. "I'll see you later Severus. You better not be going against our master." She said warningly before disapparating.

Severus sighed with relief. He grabbed his wand from his pocket. The next person who tried to stop him from saving Lily was going to die no questions asked.

"Ohh my baby, my baby," a woman screamed as she held her daughter's limp body. People were screaming all around him, but Severus just ignored them and continued making his way to where the Potter's were currently staying.

"Severus!" Peter shouted as he came up behind him. Severus was just making it to where the Potter's were staying and had no clue how Peter caught up, not that he really cared. "It's probably too late. Just forget about them." He said more quietly.

"Forget? You want me to just forget? You've lost your mind Pettigrew! Crucio!" He watched as Peter fell down then lifted the curse.

It was obvious the Voldemort had already arrived at the Potter's hiding place. Shingles were falling off the place. The door was smashed in. Windows above were cracked. Glass lay across the ground. Peter picked up a piece that was covered in blood.

"Lily," Severus whispered and shook his head before running inside. "Potter!" Severus shouted. He ran over to the man he knew was an enemy, but he knew Lily would have wanted him to make sure he was ok.

"Save Lil...Lily first." James mumbled before choking out blood.

"Peter did this to you!" Severus screamed. "Your friend did this to you and I swear I'll murder him if Lily is at all hurt." He said before running upstairs. "Lily," Severus whispered when he saw her blood soaked clothes. "Lily," he whispered again and he kept repeating her name until he was screaming it. He suddenly heard baby Harry Potter crying beside them. "I'll kill Peter. I promise I'll kill him, Lily." He told her before he carefully picked Harry up.

"Jay..." Lily managed to cry out. She meant to say James but just couldn't manage it. She was still alive, but was having trouble breathing.

"Harry's fine, Lily. I'm not sure about James. He told me to save you first. You're ok. I promise you're going to be ok." He told her and she forced herself to nod. "We'll go to my place. We'll leave here and we'll never look back. You and Harry will both be fine." He promised her.

Lily cried and cried. All she could remember was grabbing Harry and running upstairs when the door was smashed in. Severus knew this was going to be difficult, but the most important thing was getting the two of them out of the house.

Severus slowly stood up and he set Harry down just to help Lily stand. Lily was about to rush off downstairs, but he grabbed her shoulder.

"It's too late, Lily. Forget about him. Right now you and Harry are all that matters." He told her as he helped her and Harry get to the door then disapparated to his place with them.
