I'M BACK! *cricket noises* ok then… it's Halloween! Soooo my writers block vanished and gave me this! *DA DA!*

Disclaimer: sadly Harry Potter and its characters aren't mine *le sigh*

October 31st 1981 Godric's Hollow, Potter residence

I peek into the living room making sure none of my boys sees me. I watch, with loving eyes as my son giggles and tries to catch the floating lights that James was making to entertain him.

My eyes shift to the window as a little girl dressed as a pumpkin rushes past. I smile to myself as she hugs her mum with a bag full of candy.

This is how I want to remember the past, with these little moments of happiness, of love, of innocence… not those of Danger, death and sadness , certainly not, I shall not have it.

As James stands up rubbing the sleep out of his eyes I watch as Harry looks crestfallen at the wand that was lying, no longer shootings sparks, on the couch.

I walk into the living room and pick up my little boy, and laugh as he giggles in surprise

"Don't worry Harry dear, you'll soon have one of those magic sticks you like so much" I told him as he stared at me with his curious green eyes that are so much like mine.

I feel two strong arms hug me from behind and I sigh in content, another memory I will cherish forever. My boy in my arms, and myself, in the arms of the love of my life.

"If he could only turn eleven sooner eh?" he whispered in my ear

"Are you mental? We just got him" I pouted and I hugged him closer

James just chuckled and hugged us both. I closed my eyes, because I want to remember this to how I felt not because of what I saw.

"I better get Harry to bed, he's snoring! Oh Merlin please tell me he is not going to snore like you" I said as I turned around and pecked James on the lips. "I'm never going to get some rest"

"Stop mumbling Lily! I can still hear you!" James yelled from the bottom stair

I stuck my tongue down at him as I rounded the stairs to the hallway leading to Harry's bedroom.

I kissed his forehead as I laid him on the crib I smiled as I saw him softly breathing in the dim light of our two floor cottage.

The ground started shaking violently the portraits were falling. Surely we couldn't be having an earthqua-

Then a loud BOOM came from down stairs and I knew. It was him. He had found us.

All color drained from my face, my heart skipped several beats and all I could think about was my boys

"Lily, take Harry and go! It's him! I'll try to hold him off — just go!" James screamed from the doorway as I saw, for the last time, his handsome but panicked face

I grabbed Harry from his crib and couldn't stop the sobs and tears that came with the words:

"AVADA KEDAVRA" a loud thump that came with the lifeless form of my beloved husband was heard from downstairs.

The bedroom door burst open and as I whispered comforting words to my son that he will never remember a high pitched laughter echoed through the room. I closed my eyes, put my son down, and turned around to face the man that caused me so much pain.

"Not Harry, not Harry, please not Harry!"

"Stand aside you silly girl … stand aside now."

"Not Harry, please no, take me, kill me instead-Not Harry! Please … have mercy … have mercy… "

I exhaled my last breath. A blinding flash of green. And I was no more.
