Author's Note: So, I edited this chapter a little to better fit the next chapter based on correctness. (Is that a word?) Anyway, chapter 2 is coming!
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. It makes me sad.
Chapter 1: James Potter
"Harry go upstairs with mummy!" James said, tickling his son. Harry smiled and reach up towards his mother. "I'll be up in a few minutes, Lily." James said. Lily nodded and carried Harry upstairs.
James stood up and walked over to the calendar they had in the kitchen. He sighed. It was Halloween. He used to spend every Halloween with Sirius, Remus and Peter. Harry didn't even get a Halloween this year. Ever since Voldemort had been after them, all they did was hide out in Godric's Hollow. James looked around the house. It was supposed to his home, but it was nothing like the house him and Lily left behind.
(Flashback)
"Oh, Lily, it's perfect!" James said.
"I don't know James. Isn't it a bit big?" Lily asked.
"Lily, it's big now, but when the baby is born and we have more kids, it'll be perfect!" James said. Lily smiled.
"More kids?" Lily asked smiling.
"Well, you want more right?" James asked. Lily nodded. "Well then it's perfect! Look, there's a huge kitchen for you to use, three bedrooms that are perfect for kids, a huge master bedroom, a big basement, a room for your work, a room for my man cave! There's a pool and a huge backyard too! It seems big now, but it'll be perfect!"
"Well, you've convinced me!" Lily said smiling. James picked Lily up and swung her around.
"Lily, we can't leave!" James whined.
"Don't tell me your that pigheaded, James! If we stay here we are setting ourselves up for murder!" Lily practically shouted.
"Lily, what about Harry? This is all he knows! He would hate to be away from Sirius and Remus and surely they can't go with us!" James said. Lily frowned.
"James, I know this is tough for you, but either you come with Harry and I or we just go into hiding alone. I'm not going to risk Harry's life like that." Lily said.
"When do we leave?" James asked, defeated.
"Tomorrow." Lily said.
James looked around at his house. It was gorgeous, big and looked like a house. Toys were all over the floor, bills and mail on the counter, chairs by the pool and an old wooden broom closet in the yard. James shook his head and went to go pack things.
James snapped out of his flashback when he heard Lily coming down the stairs.
"James, I'm tired and Harry won't go to sleep. Can you play with him for a little while longer while I get ready for bed?" James looked up to see Lily holding Harry. She looked beautiful the way her messy hair fell down her back as it came loose from its messy bun. Her face looked tired and it was mostly due to the constant stress that she and James were under. James nodded.
"Yeah, go ahead and get ready. I can handle Harry!" James took Harry and spun him around.
"Don't rile him up!" Lily called as she walked up the stairs. James sat down on the couch with Harry and began shooting parks out of his wand. Harry smiled at them and tried to catch them, but they moved to fast for his chubby little arms. James stopped shortly after, switching instead to drawing circles on Harry's stomach with his index finger. Harry smiled and drifted off into sleep.
Minutes later, James heard a rustling sound outside. James sat Harry down beside him as Lily came walking down the stairs. James held a finger to his mouth to silence Lily. James disillusioned himself and peered out the window. He saw a huge black force in the neighborhood. It was Voldemort.
"Lily, take Harry! Go! Run! It's him! I'll hold him off!" James said. Lily's eyes grew as she ran over to Harry quickly. James watched her scoop Harry up and cradles him as she goes upstairs. James gulped and out a silencing charm on the stairs and all the bedrooms. James forms a patronus to send to Sirius. James says, "Goodbye Sirius, Remus and Peter." Then, he sends the patronus. Seconds later the door bursts down. James is blown onto the ground. Voldemort walks in and looks around. James forgets he's invisible until Voldemort goes to walk upstairs. James removes the spell and gets Voldemort's attention.
"Ah, I should have known James Potter isn't a coward." Voldemort said.
"What do you want with us?" James asked.
"Give me the boy and no one gets hurt." Voldemort was walking closer to James who was walking slowly towards the stairs.
"Never." James said. He shot a spell at Voldemort and so began their duel. James was being chased up the stairs. He closed his eyes for a second do muster all his energy for the killing curse, but before he could, Voldemort sent one at him. It hit James square on the chest. James opened his eyes quickly to see Voldemort laughing.
"Goodbye Harry. Goodbye Lily." James thought.
