I was given some prompts onto my James Potter account and people seemed to like them so I thought I'd upload them here. They are just a few short jily one shots really. If you want to give me a prompt just leave one in reviews :D Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy!
Prompt: Time
Time.
They didn't have enough of it to escape. James realized that now. He ran out of Harry's room over to the balcony, watching the door burst open as Voldemort forced his way into their so called 'safe house' effortlessly.
He jerked his head around violently. "LILY GET HARRY AND RUN!" He yelled, panic streaming into his voice. "I'LL HOLD HIM OFF!"
As he spoke he heard an evil laughter cackling through the air, it ripped at his soul and his dwindling hope.
I'm ready to die.
He drew his wand, and ran to the top of the stairs, skidding slightly and smashing into the wall as he tried to slow down. He took one last look towards Harry's room, his expression sad.
A flash.
Green light burst up the stairs and his heart stopped. In that moment, he saw everything in slow motion. He took a deep breath and lunged to his left, diving back the way he'd just come.
He landed on the floor with a heavy, dull thud. Grimacing in pain as he scrambled to his feet.
Get out Lily. Please get out. Please.
Thoughts raced across his mind as his sweaty fingers slipped over his wand in his attempt to keep a grasp on them. He saw tendrils of a black cloak swirling around the top of the stairs. "CONFRINGO!" He roared, slashing his wand through the air violently, as the spell careered towards the intruder.
Voldemort laughed again, the sound merciless and cold as he blocked James' spell effortlessly. "Give it up Potter, you can join me and stop all this pain." Voldemort bargained as he reached the top of the stairs, walking towards the man slowly.
"If you surrender the boy, you and your mudblood wife can walk away, free. It's so simple." Voldemort played with his wand as he spoke. James shook his head.
"Never," he said, puffing his chest out in defiance. "I WILL NEVER SURRENDER MY SON TO YOU!" He roared at the dark wizard before shooting another spell his way.
Once again, Voldemort deflected the spell. Laughing cruely as his lips curled up into a smirk. "Pity," he said in a low dangerous voice before drawing his wand back in an elaborate manner. "AVARDA KEDAVRA!"
A green flash.
Then Nothing.
James slummed to the floor. Tears in his eyes, as the light faded from them. He just hoped he had done enough…
Be safe.
