The Death of the Potters
Tom Riddle was James Potter's other best friend. James, Tom, Remus, and Sirius did everything together and little Peter Pettigrew tagged after them. But James and Tom both loved Lily Bennet. So they showed off for her and tried to prove that they were better then the other.
On their very last day at Hogwarts, just was Tom was about to propose to Lily, James went up to her and knelt down and said "Lily, will you marry me?"
"Oh, James. Yes!"
They had the wedding and Sirius was best man. Molly Warrington was the bridesmaid.
After the wedding Tom was mad. He gathered followers. He killed a lot of people. When he could control himself he knew what he must do. On Halloween night he went to the Potter's house. He knew where it was because stupid Peter had told him. He knocked on the door. James opened it. When he saw who it was, he yelled, "Lily, it's him! Get Harry and go! I'll hold him off!" After a few minutes James was dead.
Tom then went upstairs. He had to kill Harry too. He couldn't let Harry grow up to be like his dad. He entered the room. Lily was picking Harry up.
"Stand aside." She looked up.
"No, please don't kill Harry, kill me instead!"
"Stand aside, silly girl."
"No, don't kill Harry, please!"
"Avada Kedavra!" In a second Lily was dead. Tom then turned his wand on Harry. "Avada Kedavra!" Tom smirked. He knew that in an instant Harry would be dead. Even if he had to kill Lily, it was worth it. But no, he was wrong. The curse rebounded back to Tom, leaving Harry with a lighting bolt scar and Tom something barely alive.
