(sadly, I own nothing)

''Lily Take the kids and run''

She didn't need telling twice, Lily ran up the stairs and into the nursery to see her son Harry playing with his baby sister Rose.

Lily started to panic, the portkey was not working and by the sounds of it her husband had been killed.

Turning to her children a tear escaped her eyes; there was nothing she could do to say them.

Kneeling in front of the crib they both rested in Lily tried to calm her children, ''Shhhhh Harry, it'll be okay. You make sure you take care for your strong. Never forget I love you both, you are both so loved. ''

Just then the door burst open and the air grew cold, ''step aside, stupid girl''

''Not Harry, please no, take me, kill me instead"

''This is my last warning"

"Not Harry! Please... have mercy... Leave Rose! Please — I'll do anything ''

But it was too late, with a flash of green Lily dropped to the floor just like her husband had not a minute ago.

Voldemort took one look down, 'pity, you didn't have to die.' He said as he stepped over Lily's body.

As he craned to look into the crib he laughed as he saw baby Harry trying to block his sister from his view, 'clever,' he cackled, 'shame I have to do this really.'

Once more his wand pointed to the target and he whispered those two dreaded words before the green light shot out of his wand.

In the millisecond he saw the light rebound of the child his whole body froze up – how?

Sirius ran up the stairs as fast as he could, He wanted to stop and cry over his best friend but he heard the cries; HARRY, ROSE!

When he reached the door his heart sank once more when he saw her body on the floor but once again his grief was blocked by the screaming of the baby.

Bile rose in the thought as he stepped around Lily's body but he forced it down as he looked into the crib.

Inside Rose, a day under 4 months old was crying despite Harry's best efforts.

The sight of Harry stroking his sisters hair whilst holding hand would normally be something Sirius would pull his camera out for however in his current state it just made his tears finally escape his eyes.

He wanted answers; how? How were they still alive? What? What was going to happen now? Why? Why had Peter betray them?

Peter! This was all Peter's fault. No it was his own fault he chose to change secret keeper.

He looked down to the children in his arms for a second before he heard someone coming up the stairs. Although he was positive it was Hagrid (guess by how heavy the footsteps were) he still put Harry and Rose back down and pulled out his wand.

As Hagrid came into view Sirius shouted, 'What were we meant to be doing the night you and the Maunders snuck to Hogs head and got drug?'

'Detention for blowing Mrs Norris into a balloon.' Hagrid sniffled back.

Sirius dropped his wand and once more stepped around the body, 'Hagrid take the children, I need to go talk to an old friend.'

Before he could get an answer, Sirius run out of the house rage burning in his eyes.
