"A Bitter-Sweet End"

By: LindsayC

Disclaimer: Yes I am the one and only J. K. Rowling. I have decided to give you all the real prequel to Harry Potter. This is focused on the last year of Lily and James Potter's lives.

Now if you actually believe that, then you're an idiot. Well, idiot is putting it lightly. I mean really if J. K. Rowling did write a prequel, she would publish it, not post it on ff.net. So obviously I own nothing. Well maybe some characters in later chapters, and the plot. (Duh!)

Ok I decide to start this fic out with the end. I guess its sort of a prologue. I've been writing this story in my head for a couple weeks and finally started writing it. So start reading please.

Chapter One: The End.

It was an early morning phone call, December,

That got my attention

They called to tell me that you had gone.

You were the strength of all my hopes and inspiration

You are the music in my song.

Sometimes what doesn't seem so fair

Its what makes us more aware

I know you're smiling

I know you're singing

And I know that you're in a better place

Where angels wings caress you

But I still miss you…………

From: Early Morning Phone Call by Zac Maloy

Tears fell from the face of Rubius Hagrid. He stood there in the rubble of what was formerly the house of Lily and James Potter. They're bodies' lie awkwardly among the destruction. The eerie thing was, they looked alive but the pain of a death was frozen upon their faces.

"Not them." Hagrid thought. More tears flooded down his face. He heard a faint noise close by. It resembled the cries of a baby. Harry.

Hagrid franticly searched for Harry. He found him in his nursery or what was left of it. He was sprawled out one the floor wailing. There was a cut on his forehead. Hagrid grabbed him and held him thanking god that he was still alive.

Harry had calmed down and looked up at him and smiled. His reassuring smile sobered Hagrid. It seemed like and eternity waiting for ministry officials and Dumbledore to arrive.

"Hagrid! It's not true! Please say tisn't true!" Sirius franticly said as he ran toward him.

"It is." he said with a solemn look on his face.

"No! How could he? I…. I…."

"It's aight, Sirius. It wasn't meant to happen, but Harry is still alive. He destroyed Voldermort. The dark times are over now. All because of Harry."

"How will he ever know? How will this boy ever know how great his parents were? Were. It's all my fault. I…. I…" Sirius stammered.

"No, Sirius. Ya ain done nothing wrong. Voldemort killed em not you." Hagrid said comfortingly.

"But I trusted him…." Sirius said quietly.

"What…" Hagrid said with a confused look. He wasn't sure he heard correctly.

"Give Harry to me Hagrid, I'm his god father." demanded Sirius.

"I'm sorry Sirius, but I've got orders from Dumbledore." He still was confused with what Sirius had said before. He had trusted him. Who? Not you-know-who?

"Then take my motorcycle. I have to take care of something," Sirius commanded. There was a popping noise and Sirius was gone.

Sirius was crazy with anger. How could Peter do it? His friend of ten years! Why? These questions didn't seem to matter anymore when Sirius finally found Peter. Vengeance was running through him in the place of blood. He stormed over to where Peter was standing. Waiting.

"You son-of-a-bitch! I trusted you! Lily and James trusted you!" He raised his wand at Peter. He hesitated waiting for a response, but Peter smiled.

The next few moments went by in a blur. Peter cut of his finger. The pain did not bother him though. "HOW COULD YOU SIRIUS? LILY AND JAMES! YOUR SUPPOSED BEST FRIENDS!" he yelled making sure everyone heard. Peter raised his wand.

"What…" said Sirius who was completely puzzled?

There was a blast. Sirius fell back, but was shielded from it. When it was over. Peter had disappeared and there were bodies lying in the street. Then the screams came. Then the ministry officials.

The next hours were unreal to Sirius. No matter what he did? No one believed him. Not a soul. By the end of the day he found him self in a cell of Azkaban. His world ended with them. His best friends. Lily and James Potter.

Three days later, a funeral was held for Lily and James Potter. Remus Lupin held back his tears as he spoke at the funeral about his friends. The were so many witches and wizards that were morning the loss of Lily and James, but only a handful knew them. James family had been killed earlier that year. So had Lily's family, except for Petunia, her sister.

After the funeral, the people that did know Lily and James gathered.

"Where is Harry?" asked Christina Meyers.

"I gave him to his aunt and uncle. He is safe there." Dumbledore said.

"But sir, Petunia and Vernon hated Lily. They…" Christian protested.

"Are the only family he has now." interrupted Dumbledore. "Arrabela has agreed to watch over him. Until he returns to our world."

"Albus, that's ten years away." Remus said.

"There is no other choice."

This seemed so unreal to everyone. The last year had been unbelievable. A year ago no one would have believed this would happen, not one.
