Chapter 1: How it begins

Alternate Universe Lily POV

1980, March 1st

It was amazing how everything could change in a very short time. Since her fifth year in Hogwarts, school of witchcraft and wizardry, she was living in a world at war. At first, it was just some fanatics, burning mugglesborn's witch houses but it has soon became worse and worse as their leader, who was calling himself Voldemort was becoming powerful. As Lily graduated from Hogwarts, Voldemort had convinced a great number of wizards in to belive in him and his ideal as Pure Blood wizards must rule the world. Sadly, some of them were working in the high sphere of the ministry of Magic. Albus Dumbledore had then created the Order of the Phoenix to fight against Voldemort. Lily and her husband, James, had been some of the first to enter the Order. So had Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew, her husband's best friends. She had graduated four years prior and the Order had many more members now, some working inside the ministry like Arthur Weasley. But at the same time, Voldemort's followers were growing too. They went by the name of Death Eaters and they were spreading fear by both killing people and burning villages.

Lily Potter was a MediWitch. This was not what she originally planned to do with her life but when James and Sirius had started the Auror training, it was the best profession she could think of. She knew that she was a powerful witch, but she also knew that she was not a warrior. Still, she had to do something, that's why she thought of becoming a MediWitch. She had been trained to go to battles with the Auror so that she could heal the most serious injuries before sending them to St Mungos. And she had come to really enjoy her job, where she could use her talents in Potion and Charm. With this kind of life, she was used to being afraid. Afraid that one day, one of the people she cared about would not come home. This was a feeling that had never left her since they joined the Order. But it was nothing compared to the fear she felt now. Now, she had this tiny life growing inside of her, a life that was half-her and half-James. A life who needed her, and that she needed to protect. She had noticed she was pregnant two month ago. She smiled as she remembered the face of James when she had told him he was going to be a father. He had floo-called Sirius in the minute to ask him to be the godfather of the baby. Then, they had, with the help of Remus and Peter, put up a Surprise-Congratulation party. They had invited all her friends from school, her colleagues, and even some Hogwarts's teacher such as Albus and professor McGonagall, who came by to quickly congratulate her. They had even invited her Muggle Family, so her parents and her grandmother attended the baby shower as well. Her sister had made up an excuses to not come. Lily had been a little hurt, but not very surprised, since her entry to Hogwarts, her relationship with Petunia had been difficult, at best.

It had been the best night in a very long time. While everyone at the party was drinking Firewhyskey, Lily and Alice Longbottom drank Butterbeer because of their pregnancies. And they had talked all night long, about their day at Hogwarts, the pranks pulled by the Marauders, the dreams they had when they were younger and they talked about the future. They also talked about what their child would become, James was certain it was a boy and that he would become a Quiddich player and Sirius argued that it was a girl and she would become a fiery red hair singer.

For one night, they had forgot about the war and about Voldemort. The next day a muggle town had been turned to ashes by the death eater, leaving no survivor.

Lily was currently sitting on the sofa, in her Godric's Hollow house. She was thinking. The house was quiet as James and Sirius were working. It was too quiet. Since she knew she was pregnant, she had stoped following Auror in the battlefield, she had some shift at St Mungos but most of the time she was home, alone. She hated this. So she had asked Dumbledore if she could do something for the Order. She had told him about a Potion she had in mind, a Wolfsbane potion, to help the werewolfs keep control of themselves during the full moon. She had the idea while talking to Remus, back when they were student. She had attempted to make this Potion a few times in private but failed every times. Once she had graduated, she no longer had time experimenting because of her new responsibilities. But now she had time, she asked Dumbledore for permission to talk with Severus Snape about the potion, because Severus Snape was a genius at brewing Potion. They had been working for a couple of weeks together and then, she had let him continue researching alone. If someone could find a way, it was Snape. And Snape worked better alone.

She was trying to read a book about Charms in her living room when someone knocked at the door. She had received a letter from Dumbledore the day before saying that he needed her help with something and that he would visit the next day, after James leaves for work. 'Must be Order's work' she had thought. If there was something Lily didn't like, it was not knowing so she had been jumpy all morning, not able to focus on one thing more than five minutes. And now, Dumbledore was on her doorstep and he was not alone.

"Hello" said a cheerful voice. Dumbledore chuckled as Lily was staring with wide eyes at the woman standing next to the old man.

"Hi, I am Lily Potter" she said shyly "Please come in" she continued as she lead them into the living room. She couldn't help but look at Andromeda Tonk. She knew that she was one of the aunt of Sirius, the only one who had choose the Light side, but she had never met her in person. Lily had heard James and Sirius talk about Andromeda sometimes so she knew that Andromeda Tonk, born Andromeda Black, was working for Gringotts along with her husband Jared Tonk. They were Curse Breakers. Until now Lily didn't even know that Andromeda was a part of the Order.

"Why did you need me Professor?

- Please call me Albus, Lily! Lemon drop?" The headmaster's blue eyes were twinkling with amusement. She felt her cheeks becoming red, she couldn't help it, in front of the Headmaster, she felt like her eleven year old self again. She really hated that, even more in front of Andromeda Tonk, who was grinning as she looked at her embarrassment.

" Don't worry dear, you are not the only one!" said Andromeda with a beautiful voice. She was starting to understand Sirius's admiration for this woman. "Should we get to the reason for our visit Albus? Instead of embarrassing your former student?

-I agree" Albus flicked his wand and a very old looking book appeared in his hand. The book was oddly not that big, the size of a pocket book maybe. The cover was deep green and for a title had an unique word: Salvatorem written in silver letters.

"What is this? I had never seen anything like this before!

-This, my dear, is something I found during my last trip to Romania. Can you read the title?

- Salvatorem. It mean to save in Latin. But what does it have anything to do with me?"

This time it was Dumbledore who answered : "Well you see Lily, we are loosing this war. Andromeda and Jared had been looking for some magic, some weapon to help us destroy Voldemort. Something he would not know of. But the past four years, they haven't fund anything we could use...we were loosing hope to find anything when Andromeda found this book. To save. It may be our last chance, but Andromeda can't do all the work by herself...The spell looks quite tricky and all the instructions are in Latin. So I was hoping you could help. If you both work on it together, we could have a solution to end the war faster." Loosing hope. That's how bad the situation was outside. Of course, Lily knew that the situation was not very good but hearing it from Albus Dumbledore himself was disturbing.

"I don't know if I will be of great help, but I will try my best"
