Prologue

Godrics Hallow, August 2, 1979

A mournful cry filled the air and Lily Potter looked up from her book before getting up. She looked out of the window but didn't see anything. Lily frowned and turned around so she could get back to her book, when she heard the noise again.

Lily grabbed her wand, walked over to the door and opened it. She looked around wearily before looking down when something caught her eye. She found herself staring into two watery eyes.

Lily's mind went blank. There was a baby on her door step. Lily and the baby just stared at each other before Lily bent down and picked the baby up. Lily quietly turned around and walked into the house.
