Lily Potter's heart was racing. Her husband, James was battling Voldemort single-handedly and Lily didn't know how much more he would last. It wasn't as if she had any doubts on her husbands skills but Voldemort was really powerful. She gently put Harry in his crib and started moving quickly. Lily moved the dresser, changing table and toy closet in front of the door. Then she plopped down on the floor next to Harry's crib and started sobbing. She knew that she would die, ... but would she ? Lily's mind was working overtime as she shot upwards and grabbed Harry. The small toddler let out a startled whimper.

Lily noticed that the noise from downstairs had quietened down. It only meant one thing. James was dead. She bit her lip to keep from crying, she needed to keep strong for Harry. Grabbing a large piece of splintered wood, she smashed the window that was next to the place where the toy closet had previously resided. Large shards of glass fell off as the cold wind flowed in. She knew that down there was a soft flowerbed that would at least keep her bottom safe. With Harry glued tightly to her arms, Lily leaned in the window sill. Taking a deep breath, Lily jumped. Just as the door to the nursery smashed down.

She had to bite her lip to keep from screaming. Landing hardly on the patch of lily flowers, she wasted no time and got up and started running as fast as her feet would carry her. It had been at least 2 minutes that Lily had been running and somewhere in the distance, she heard a scream of rage. Despite the situation, Lily couldn't help but smirk. So dear old Voldemort had seen the window. She reached the Godric's Hollow cemetery. Lily ran inside. she weaved in-between the random graves and she couldn't help but wonder which one James would be buried in. She dashed inside the empty church. She was breathing in and out quickly. She plopped down on a chair. Balancing Harry on her lap, it was then that it hit her. James was dead. Her enemy of 6 years, her husband, her brave, brave husband was dead. James handled these last few months like a true Gryffindor.

She got up and cradled Harry in her arms. She tried apparating out. To her surprise, it worked. Then there was the familiar sensation of being squeezed into a tube. She landed in the Leaky Cauldron.

"Lily Evans Potter ! What a surprise ! I haven't seen you in what seems like months ! Why so glum ! What can I get you ?" boomed the familiar voice of Tom, the Leaky Cauldron bar keeper.

Lily took a deep breath. "Nothing for the time being Tom. I'm in a hurry."

She practically ran out of the bar and into the courtyard leaving a puzzled Tom behind. She willed her magic on the correct blocks. The blocks moved away leaving a hole in the wall. Lily stepped in Diagon Alley. She ran towards the marble building that was called Gringotts. Luckily she always kept a spare key of the Potter vault. She went towards a free goblin and took out the small golden key and said "I wish to make a withdrawal from the Potter Family vault.".

The goblin was called Griphook.

"Key" said the goblin expectantly.

Lily put the key on the table. Griphook picked up the key and examined it.

"This is indeed the Potter Family Vault key." Griphook jumped off the chair he was sitting on and went and spoke into the box in what Lily recognised as Gobbledegook.

"I have asked a goblin to come and take my place while you will follow me." informed the goblin.

Lily nodded and started to follow Griphook. Harry had kept strangely quiet as if understanding the intensity of the situation. She accompanied Griphook towards a cart. They boarded it.

"Please make the cart go just a bit slower because as you can see, I have a baby here." said Lily quietly.

Griphook stared at her in an intensity that made her uncomfortable before he finally nodded and said "I am sorry for your loss Lady Potter.".

Lily gave a start. "Excuse me but how did you know ?"

"We goblins have a form of Legilimency that we only use when we want to know when our customer is telling the truth. I, however, sensed your depressed state and used it on you and as far as I'm concerned, I didn't see you tonight." replied Griphook.

Lily gave him a look akin to respect. The cart started moving far slower than usual. 10 minutes later saw Lily, Harry and Griphook standing in front of the Potter Family Vault. Griphook clutched the torch and the key as he went to unlock the door. The door clicked open. Lily went inside the vault. It was so massive, it was twice the size of the Hogwarts Great Hall. She put Harry down momentarily and picked up a small endless pouch and scooped up handfuls of Galleons, Sickles and Knuts. She roamed the Vault and found a locket that had a G on it. It was Red and Gold with Silver linings and tiny lions on the edges. With shock she realised this was Godric Gryffindor's locket. But it she shouldn't have been surprised because the Potter's were rumored to be related to Godric Gryffindor. It was armed with dozens of protective charms even against the killing curse ! Her heart skipped a beat when she saw there was another one exactly like that. Either Godric had wanted to leave something behind or he had just wanted to protect specifically someone special, probably his future heir. Lily suspected the latter because there was obviously the Gryffindor Vault to be considered.

She put the two lockets into her robe pocket. She saw 7 wands lying on a stack of gold. She instinctively reached for one of them. Lily waved it and gold and purple sparks flew out of it. It was like James' wand. Mahogany, 11 inches, Dragon Heartstring core, Nice and Flexible, Good for Charms and Transfiguration. She suddenly had an inspiration. She closed her eyes and reached her left hand forwards and concentrated on James' wand. Suddenly, a familiar mahogany wand was in her hand. She looked at it with adoration. Lily caressed it lovingly. She pocketed it. Unfortunately her own wand had been broken in the hustle. Then she looked at the wand in her right hand. A small tag was attached to it. On the tag was written "Dorea Potter". She was shocked. James' mothers wand had chosen her ! She put the wand in her wand holster. Smiling, she went deeper into the vault. There were several doors at the end of the vault. To her shock one was written:
"Harrison James Charlus Alexander Godric Potter"

She decided not to enter. Lily went back to the front of the vault and to her amusement, she saw a slumbering Harry on the ground. She gently picked him up. She nodded to Griphook. The boarded the cart and 10 minutes later, they were standing in the Gringotts Lobby. Lily turned to Griphook.

"Since James' earlier ancestors were French, Potter Villa is located in France. Me and Harry will be moving there and as far as I'm concerned, you didn't see me, nor Harry, here."

Griphook smirked. "Happy Halloween Lady Potter and good luck.".
