Harry Potter & The Philosopher Stone.
Year 1.
The Murder Of Lily and James Potter.
Saturday, October 31st 1999.
It was Halloween night in a little village named Godric's Hollow. It was 9 o'clock and the weather was pretty good for an Autumn night, it was a little chilly and everything was wet from a storm that had happened the night before, and childern were going door to door trick or treating. It was Saturday so the childern and teens wouldn't have to worry of school the next morning, it would be a long night. There was no moon in the sky, just beautiful stars that shined exceptionally bright that night of all nights. That night is where our story begins. It was that night that the most joyful and terrible events happened. In that little village of Godric's Hollow, is where it all began. In 1999, Harry James Potter's long and twisted journey started.
James Potter sat on the back porch, James had jet black hair that was unusually messy and his eyes were a hazel color. He wore blue jeans, and a white dress shirt which he had unbuttoned halfway. He had a brown dress jacket over it. James had a silver chain around his neck that his wife had bought him, he never took it off. He was stargazing, wondering how the stars could be so bright on Halloween night. He smiled as he heard his wife singing from upstairs.
Lily Potter was his wife, she was in his opinion (and many others) a lovely blue eyed strong, brave and kind witch. Lily had dark red hair that went half way down her back. Lily's hair was wet, having just gotten out of the shower, she put on her tight blue torn jeans and her long baggy white tank top, she had a couple big pearl necklaces around her neck. Her hair was in a half up ponytail. Lily was sitting in a rocking chair beside her son's crib. The baby was sleeping in his crib with a blue blanket and Lily was singing so that when she woke him up for a bath he wouldn't be as cranky. Lily got up and picked the baby out of the crib, he was still asleep but she knew it wouldn't last long. He started to stir and tried to get out of his Mother's arms, he seemed to want to play with a small little broom that was hanging on the wall, " Darling you can't play right now we have to get ready for trick or treating". Lily heard something down stairs and wondered what it was, just then... " Honey was that you?", she heard James calling from downstairs, " No, it wasn't me", she replied, James checked the door, it was locked.
Lily walked down to James, everything went in slow motion then, they both heard the back door being blown open and then, " Hello Lils, James", walking swiftly through the back door was The Dark Lord. " What are you doing here?", James asked, " I think you already know", he replied. Lily walked passed James and walked up to The Dark Lord. " Just leave us alone", she breathed only so he could hear, he moved closer to her so that his face was only inches from hers, Lily kept her eyes on him, her eyes wide. The baby in Lily's arms was staring at him with wide eyes too, then he reached down into his Mother's purse that was over her neck. Lily reached into her purse and pulled out her wand. " Lily there is no need for drawing weapons", James looked at Lily and stepped forward, " Leave my family alone!" . When James stepped forward how ever The Dark Lord was ready, " Avadra Kadavra!".
James Potter fell to the floor slowly, Lily watched in shock as her husbands life flashed before her eyes, just then the baby began to cry. " Let me shut it up for you Lils", The Dark Lord laughed, " Dont call me that", she sobbed as she looked down at her son. The Dark Lord lowered his wand, " Lily, I... I dont want to hurt you, please stand aside?" He said with a genuine loving smile on his face. Lily shook her head, " Please dont kill him Tom", she said softly. " Stand aside now Lily, stand aside please". Lily looked at him with tear filled eyes, " Why? Why my baby? Why my son?", Lily was getting angrier by the second but he was getting more pained, and Lily saw that, " You feel remorseful, your hurt I can see that", Lily looked down at his wand and the baby in her arms before looking back up at him, " I know you love me, so please, for me, leave Harry. Kill me". The Dark Lord looked at Lily as if she was crazy, " I won't kill you, I can't", Lily let out a short laugh, " If you kill my baby thats what you'll be doing, you already killed my husband", The Dark Lord leaned forward,
" You'll forgive me, I'll make you forget about them both, I'll make you forget about them all" Lily felt a surge of anger run through her veins as he said this, " Have mercy, don't take my baby away from me too, I'll do anything" she looked up at him and smirked as she said this, The Dark Lord looked at the baby with hate filled eyes, " This is my last warning" he said with a small smile " Stand aside, give up". The Dark Lord took out his wand again, " I'm so sorry but Lily you will forgive me, you will be mine".
The Dark Lord raised it to Lily, " Sectumsempra!". Lily's blood splattered everywhere, all over the stairs and the baby in her arms. She staggered and fell over her husbands body, Lily's grip on the baby lossened but she regained it and began scurrying away from The Dark Lord. " Come on Lily Baby, just hand it over", he took slow steps towards her, Lily scurried back but then hit the wall, she couldn't believe he was doing this but she knew she couldn't let him kill Harry. " Please leave us alone", she was desperate and The Dark Lord couldn't help but be amused at her fear even if it was directed at him, " Lily give me the baby", Lily looked down at the baby in her arms, his blue pajamas were covered in her blood, she couldn't let him kill her baby, he was the only thing she had left " No way", she replied, her eyes were filled with fear and pain and suddenly adrenaline filled her vains and a pain hit her like a lightning bolt, but it didn't stop, it had to of been 16 bolts that hit her. Her eyes turned gold and as she held her precious son, she knew what she had to do. Absentmindley she crawled to her husbands body only feet away, she looked into his blank hazel eyes and knew that he would have understood, she had to do this, for their son, for Harry. She took James neckalace from his neck and placed it around Harry's. It was longer then his body so she wrapped it around his neck a couple times before hugging her son goodbye. " I love you Harry", she took out her wand and on the pendant of the neckalace she wrote, " Plus que ma propre vie". And with that she gave up her life to save her son, Harry James Potter.
