Chapter summary: Lily's feelings after she has first heard the prophecy.

I'd give My life for You

The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches. Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies. and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not . And either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives. The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies.'

'No,' James shouted 'it can't mean Harry'

'I'm afraid it does James, you and Lily must go into hiding at once.' Dumbledore counselled them.

The rest of the meeting was a blur to Lily and when she got home she went straight to Harry's cot and looked down upon his face. She leant down over him as a tear slowly fell down her face and she recalled a muggle song that she had heard. Slowly she started to sing it.

"You who I cradled in my arms.
You, asking as little as you can.
Little snip of a little man,
I know I'd give my life for you."

She felt James come into the room behind her but she was lost in her thoughts. How could Voldemort want to kill such an innocent child?

"You didn't ask me to be born
You, why should you learn of war or pain?
To be sure you're not hurt again;
I swear I'd give my life for you."

She smiled slightly as Harry opened his eyes they were filled with such innocence and so much love and trust for her, how could she not protect him?

"I've tasted love beyond all fear.
And you should know its love that brought you here.
And in one perfect night,
When the stars burned like new,
I knew what I must do.
I'll give you a million things I'll never own.
I'll give you a world to conquer when you're grown."

She felt James just before familiar arms enveloped her and she looked up into her husband's face, she still felt sparks as she looked into his eyes and she knew she would for many years to come. She felt her gaze return to her baby.

"You will be who you want to be.
You, can choose whatever heaven grants.
As long as you can have your chance,
I swear I'll give my life for you."

She let her arm dangle down as she caressed his face gently smiling more brightly every time that he laughed. Her son would want for nothing as he grew up she would make sure of it and so would the Marauders.

"Sometimes I wake up, reaching for him.
I feel his shadow brush my head,
But there's just moonlight on my bed.
Was he a ghost?
Was he a lie?
That made my body laugh and cry?
Then by my side the proof I see, his little one.
Gods of the sun,
Bring him to me."

This was the only part of the song that didn't fit. Still she felt anxious when she sang as they were in a war and she knew nothing was certain. Seeing Harry yawn she pulled the covers back over him and gently tucked him in. before leaning back against James just watching him.

"You will be who you want to be.
You, can choose whatever heaven grants.
As long as you can have your chance,
I swear I'll give my life for you."

As she looked down at Harry she knew, as she had the minute that Dumbledore had finished the prophecy. She knew that she wouldn't let it destroy him and as she finished the song with a determined glint in her eye she thought. No matter how far Voldemort gets, no matter who he destroys on the way. Harry, My son I'll give my life before he kills you.

No one can stop what I must do.
I swear I'll give my life for you."

(a/n please review this is my first songfic and I'd like to know how I can improve.)
