Chapter One- The Encounter With "You Know Who"
The house was dead silent. It seemed like only someone evil would want to break the calm and beautiful silence that had settled in the Potter house in Godric's Hollow. And that evil someone was standing on their doorstep.
It all started when she, Lily Evans, and James Potter where married. No, it happened before that, in their 7th year of Hogwarts. Lily and James had fallen madly, hopelessly, and passionately in love with each other. Actually, she had fallen for him. He, it seemed, had loved her all along. Now, after being married for two years, they had a one-year-old child named Harry. He was just the cutest little thing, Lily smiled. The only worry she had was Voldemort. Sure, they where hiding, and they had Peter as their secret keeper, when everyone thought it was Sirius. But there was always the small chance some one could find them. She rolled over and placed her head on James's chest. He instinctively put his arm around her and smiled in his sleep.
Suddenly, a huge crash erupted downstairs. Lily jumped up in bed, and James woke quickly and said, "What happened?" sleepily.
"Someone's downstairs" Lily whispered, as if it weren't obvious.
"You go and get Harry while I go—" James started. He suddenly heard footsteps.
"Hurry, lets go" James said in a loud whisper.
They both apparated into Harry's room, who was wailing. Lily picked him up and rocked him gently. She kissed him and hugged him as tears rolled down her cheeks. And before they had time to dissiparate, the door burst open. It was Voldemort.
A/N: So, so far so good, or not? Review and tell me what you think! What will happen to James and Lily? How will they survive? What will happen next? Tune in next time (which will be pretty soon!) Sorry if it was short!
