"Last Goodbyes"
Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters at all.
As James awoke on that lone day on Private Drive, the wonderful small of bacon and eggs reached his nose. Mmmm James thought. He guessed that Lily must have been cooking breakfast. Getting up, James Potter made his way to Harry's room. Harry Potter, who was only a year old, awoke and yawned in his crib as his daddy came in to his room. James grinned happily and picked his pride and joy up in his strong arms. They made their way down the stairs and in to the kitchen. Lily Potty heard them and turned around, smiling. She met them halfway and kissed James and Harry, "Good morning Hun, Harry," she said and smiled. Little did they know, tonight would be a dreadful, sorrowful night. The whole Potter family sat down at the round table, "Wingardium Leviosa," Lily muttered. The plates, forks, napkins, salt, pepper, bacon, and eggs floated over to the table and automatically knew where to be placed. They ate their food without any conversation or even a word muttered and stood up from the table. Smiling, James made his way to Lily and kissed her and Harry, "I'm off to work. You know how it is being an Auror. Have go to work early everyday," James said to them. They said their last goodbyes to each other and James left the house on Private Drive. Lily got through the day with Harry. She did normal muggle things, such as shop for food and do the laundry when she could normally use magic. As 8 o'clock rounded the corner, James reentered his cozy home. Harry was having a nap in his crib and Lily was eating dinner. James had told her earlier that he already ate so she only cooked a small meal for herself. Finishing up, she smiled and kissed James. They said their 'hey' and whatnot. Little did they know, the most evil bastard was lurking close to their home. He- who- must- not- be- named was about to do something terrible that will change the life of the Potters' as well as the rest of the wizarding world. James and Lily made sure Harry was asleep in his crib, which he was. Both of them walked in to the living room. Settling themselves on the couch, they began to snuggle, "James? What would happen if I were to…" Lily began to say but was soon cut off by the thump of the door being burst down. In walked, well glided was more like it; in to the room was none other then the Dark Lord himself. Lily screamed and ran in to Harry's room. Quickly, James pulled out his wand and ran to catch up with Lily, "Lily! Harry! Leave now!!" James commanded them. Screaming, Lily said, "No! I'm not about to leave you!!" James replied to Lily by telling her he'll be all right, "Oh James!" she said to him, tears streaming down her face. Voldemort went in with them and pointed his wand at them, getting ready to say the worst and most painful curse know to the wizarding world. Now, both Lily and James were crying and exchanging their 'I love you'. Both of them knew their lives were about to end, "Avada Kedavra," the evil bastard muttered, instantly killing Lily and James Potter. Harry had awoken a while ago and was now screaming and crying loudly. Very confused at why Harry had not died, the Dark Lord fled without much strength and power, leaving poor Harry behind. The limp bodies were not only a very horrible site, but tears were stained on each of their cheeks, shining brightly in the light of the room. They never got to say their "last goodbyes."
