Hidden
James sat alone in his bedroom and stared out of the window looking at the full moon. He didn't dare to blink with his eyes, because he was afraid, that if he did something horrible might happen in that one second. He felt scared, as if he knew something dark was coming to cross his path. However, he had no idea what that could be, because it would be impossible for the Dark Lord to find him now. Frightened he was that something would happen to his little boy Harry and his beautiful wife Lily. Someone near to them kept Him informed about their doing; still they didn't know whom it was.
James felt a tear trickling down his cheek. What if they were wrong about everything and something terrible would happen anyway after all their precautions. Terrified he was that anything he had done would lead to the horrifying day that he and his family would be murdered.
James blinked and for one fraction thought that just then, the moon turned blood red. Was this a sign of what was going to happen, was his blood going to be spilled? He shook his head and thought by himself, being silly, just being absolutely silly. Nothing could happen to them, Dumbledore had made sure of that. Still a little voice in his head said something was mistaken; something they had done was the wrong decision. However, James decided to hide the thought far back in his mind and not think about it any longer.
Lily came into the room and looked at James.

Lily just gave a nod as an answer and kissed him deeply. Then she got her arm from behind her back showed him a stunning dark, silk-looking rose.
'For you,' she whispered.
James was just going to kiss her back, when their came a crash from downstairs and a high-pitched, cruel laughter…
