Prologue
31st October 1981
The storm raged on outside. Thunder and lightning clashed in the sky, while the heavens rained down on the small village of Godrics Hollow. In one particular house, the inhabitants were feeling very anxious. One of them was a beautiful red headed women, with dazzling emerald green eyes, bouncing a black haired baby in her arms. Standing next to her was a man with messy black hair and hazel eyes covered by thin, wire rimmed glasses. Her face was scrunched up with worry as she held her baby even tighter to her.
"James, I, I have a bad feeling, like something's wrong. What if something has happened to Peter, what if he found him?", she choked out, as her body trembled with silent sobs as she let go of her pent up emotions. James just stepped in front of her and held her in his arms, while being careful of the precious little bundle in her arms.
"It's okay, Lily, I got you, everything's going to be alright. I promise.", he whispered to his terrified wife. Her trembling did not cease, but she allowed her husband to just hold her. They stood there in relative silence, neither of them willing to break it.
"I love you.", he whispered, whilst placing a soft kiss on her brow.
"Both of you, I love you both so much." Lily was about to reply when they heard a noise outside. They froze.
"James?" Lily turned scared, questioning eyes up to her husband. He just stood there, staring at the door. Suddenly, there was a bang. All the colour drained from their faces.
"He's here", gasped James. He spun around and looked at Lily with frantic eyes. Behind them they could faintly see a dark figure looming behind their door, lit up briefly by the lightning raging in the storm.
"Lily, take Harry and go! It's him! Go! Run! I'll hold him off."
Lily stumbled from the room ashen faced, with one last look at her beloved husband. She shut herself in the nursery whilst she held Harry tightly. Downstairs, she heard the door burst open and a cackle of cold, high pitched laughter. 'Voldemort'. She squeezed her eyes shut to fight of the tears that were threatening to fall. A lone tear escaped as the sound of fighting broke loose and she knew at that moment, that they were doomed.
THUMP, she jumped as the sound of a body dropping could be heard. Holding in her sobs, she backed away from the door when the sounds of the staircase creaking reached her ears. She knew someone was coming and it wasn't James. Now terrified for the life of her only son, she frantically stumbled backwards, tripping over a small table and knocking of the book on top. Glancing down at the title, an idea quickly formed in her desperate mind, for innocently staring at her, from small gold lettering, was the word Labyrinth.
With steely determination she placed little Harry in his crib and kissed his forehead.
"I love you, my sweet little boy", she whispered into the night air. She straightened up and took a deep breath. With one last mournful look at her baby she said, "I wish the Goblins would take you away, right now". Just then, the door burst open.
AN: Well, this is the prologue done. I hope you've liked it and stay tuned for the next chapter when a certain Goblin King makes an appearance.
