Final Goodbye
The candle-light grew dim. The night was matching by, always faster when you know something dreadful is coming. They knew they were being hunted. All they could do it pray that their secret keeper would keep his word.
We were leaving the country in the morning, if they made it that long. The couple lay in each other's arms in the bedroom. Their infant son slept in the room next to theirs.
"James" Lily Potter paused, until her husband looked into her bright green eyes, "I want you to know, that if we don't make it…" James put his finger tip to the redhead's light pink lips.
"We must not speak like this Lily" He hushed her.
"But if we should not get a chance to say our final goodbyes" She whispered when he removed his finger.
He pulled her closer and placed his lips to her ear.
"Listen…" James sighed "… never mind" Lily peered at him, an anger expression on her pale face.
"I'm clever, and I'm listening. Now don't patronise me, 'cause people have died and I'm not happy. Tell me."
"I'm, sorry. I want to believe are safe here, my love" He whispered back.
"I love you, James Potter" She said as a tear spilled down her cheek, until it hit the pillow her head rested on.
"Know that I always love you!" he said firmly. The couple kissed once last time.
*CRASH*
The front door had blast open, someone had entered their house. The couple jumped out of bed and grabbed their wands.
"Protect Harry!" James ordered and dashed for the hall. Lily moved quickly into the next room, she collected her infant son in her arms and held him.
"I will protect you, my boy" She whispered to him quietly.
She listened to the curses flying in the front of the house. The chilling were words spoken.
"Avada Kedavra!" A high pitched and angry voice shouted. She heard someone hit the carpet and her heart stopped.
She held her son close and closed her eyes against the bright green flash. She moved backwards and huddled next to Harry's crib.
"It's you that I live for Harry and for you I die" She said without a shake in her voice. She was sure what she had to do.
The mother pressed one more kiss on her son and sat him down on the carpet, she stood guard.
"Stand aside, women!" He was only here to kill Harry.
"Never" She screamed at the horrible wizard, blasting curses his way.
"Avada Kedavra!" Was his response to her defiance.
Another flash of green, as she whispered to her son.
"Goodbye"
