Chapter One
Lily Potter woke up one morning to see the sun streaming through her window. Her husband James was lying beside her sound asleep. She got up quietly and went into the bathroom. She looked in the mirror to see her once young face, old and weathering. If you looked at her, you would think she was at least 33 years old, when in truth she was only 23. She felt older and tired. The few past years of her life did a number on her and James. They were working against the Dark Lord Voldemort ever since he came into power. Many wizards in the Wizardry World feared his name, so it was up to Lily, James and many others to work against him so he can be defeated. It was said that the only other Wizard that Voldemort feared was Albus Dumbledore. Dumbledore has worked with Lily and James for a long time now and hasn't stopped. After all, he was their former Headmaster at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. For the past few years, she and James have moved countless times because of a new threat. Voldemort was now after the Potters. If he found them, this would be the end of Lily and James.
"Lily, where are you honey?" she heard James say.
"I'm in the bathroom darling. I'll be just a minute," she called. She heard James climb out of bed and go downstairs. She finished up quickly and went downstairs to see James reading the Daily Prophet, the wizard newspaper.
"Any news yet?" Lily asked.
"There have been no sightings or news about his whereabouts," James said, looking up from the paper. "How are you feeling?"
"Not well. All the morning sickness is starting to get to me," she said smiling. James got up from the table and went over to his beautiful wife.
"Ah, but it will all be worth it when we have our son or daughter in the world," he said, pulling her close.
"I love you," she said descending on James' mouth for a kiss.
"Good morning Potters!" Lily and James looked over to the door to see their old friend Sirius Black poking his head through the door.
"Good morning Sirius," Lily said sitting down.
"Good morning Lily. James, old chap!" Sirius and James hugged. They have been best friends since their years at Hogwarts. You could say that they were just like brothers.
"Care for a spot of tea?" Lily asked. "We have something to ask you."
"Sure, why not?" Sirius said sitting down.
"Lily, let me do it," James said getting up.
"I'll be fine. It's only water," she said. She took her wand and had the water ready in less than a minute. She conjured up some tea in the pot and retrieved some cups and saucers. She brought it all to the table and sat down.
"Okay old friends. What is it you would like to ask me?" Sirius asked, taking a sip of his tea.
"As you know, Lily and I are expecting our child in less than a month," James started.
"Yes?" Sirius said.
"We were wondering if you would like to be the Godfather of him or her," Lily finished. "If anything were to happen to us, we were also hoping you would be their legal guardian."
Sirius looked at them with shock. They wanted him to be their child's Godfather and guardian. That was an honor to him because out of all their friends, they chose him.
"Really?" Sirius whispered. They nodded. "Well, of course I would!" he exclaimed. "But I'm telling you this right now, I won't have to be their guardian because nothing will happen to you!"
"That is just a safety issue," James told him. Sirius went up to Lily's stomach and whispered:
"I'll be the best Godfather. Don't you worry!"
