"A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world.
It knows no law, no pity, it dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path."
-Agatha Christie

Voldemort was entering the grounds when I heard James come skidding into the hall. "Lily take Harry and go! It's him! Go! Run! I'll hold him off!" Shouted James, a hint of desperation traced in his voice as sweat began to bead at his forehead.

In that fragment of a moment I quickly swiped Harry up into my arms; his cries echoing throughout the night, and began to run just as James had told me too. Taking two steps at a time I managed to reach Harry's bedroom before an unearthly crash broke the bliss silence of the house and erupted into a tornado of chaos. I could hear screaming, yelling and cackling before I heard the almost inaudible words escape his mouth; "Avada Kedavra" and with that, the house flashed green, a small muffled thump sounded and I knew that James had fallen… Forever.

My mouth formed the shape as if to scream the word "No!" but all that came out was a strangled sob and I clutched Harry tighter to my chest. "Harry be safe… Be strong" I whispered as I lay my baby down into his crib.

The door exploded and the room went cold and my worst nightmare had turned into a reality. "Not Harry, not Harry, please not Harry!" I screamed frantic to save him, I needed Harry to live.

"Stand aside you silly girl… Stand aside now!" Voldemort's piercing voice ricocheted off the walls.

"Not Harry, please no, take me, kill me instead!" I begged, tears pricking at my eyes as I held my arms out in an attempt to shield Harry from Voldemort. I knew it would be no use, but I had to try.

"This is my last warning -" He started before I cut him off once more.

"Not Harry! Please have mercy… "I whispered, one lone tear trickled down my cheek before I began again brokenly "…Not Harry! Not Harry! Please, I'll do anything!"

"Stand aside girl!" Voldemort could've forced me aside, I know that but I guess he thought it would deem wiser to finish us all.

"Take me, take me instead"

In one sudden motion, Voldemort's wand was up in the air, harshly gracing through the cool night and he opened his mouth.

I was lost in a colourful wonderland, colours bounced in front of my eyes, lighting up the room as loud bangs ran out in the distance. But it wasn't really a wonderland, it was hell, and these bright colours left a devastating destruction in its path.

"Harry be safe… Be strong" I whispered for a final time, staring into the gentle green eyes of Harry I allowed myself to slip into the ever awaiting darkness.
