Chapter One: A Kiss Goodbye.

One cold October evening found a dark red haired woman with sad almond-shaped emerald green eyes, which shone with unshed tears, looking at her two precious little children. She stood in between there cribs singing in a soft voice to help her little ones go back to sleep. On the last note one tear slid down her cheek and landed on her fist which rested on the crib with the boy twin in it. She looked once at her darling little girl before a second tear fell which she promptly wiped away before leaving the room. Glancing back once more to make sure the twins would stay sleep, she made her way down the stairs to join her husband in the livingroom.

She had known for a long time that she didn't have much longer to live. She would spend countless nights sitting in her children's nursery just watching them sleep. She knew in her heart that the day was upon her but she had to be strong... For her husband... For her best friends... And especially for her children.

Lily Evans Potter watched sadly as her husband rubbed his face wearily. His black messy hair was more disheveled then usual. It was like he kept running his hands through it in frustration, which is probably what he did. His glasses were sitting on his lap as he pinched the bridge of his nose to fight off the oncoming headache. His hazel eyes filled to the brim with crystal lined tears.

He knew it was time as well... He knew tonight was the night. He knew it... Lily wiped her face again to make sure there were no more tears visible on her pale skin. James Potter put his head in hands as he waited for his lovely wife to come back so they could finish there discussion.

He knew what she was going to do and he didn't like it one bit. They have been arguing about it for months now. Lily Evans Potter was going to sacrifice her life in order to protect the twins. James would remain so that he can raise them. Dumbledore, oh how she disliked that man, had come up with the plan just after the twins were born. Supposedly there is a prophecy in which one of the twins will have to kill You-Know-Who. Dumbledore knew that someday You-Know-Who would find them and so they came up with a plan. A special kind of protection would be placed on the children but one of the parents had to die.

So with a heavy heart Lily stepped forward as the one to die. It is said that a mothers love is second to no one. Except perhaps the love of a father. So it was decided that if they should be found James Potter would take the twins and run. So with a heavy heart Lily watched her children grow. Always hoping and praying she would have just one more day with them.

Then there was also the plan of what would happen if both should die and the children survive. They would go into there godfathers care. Sirius Black was a young bachelor who had been friends with James ever since they met in Hogwarts during there school days. Dumbledore had insisted that the children should go into Petunia Dursley's care should anything happen to them. The children would be safer there but Petunia is a bitter woman.

See Lily is a muggle-born. This means she was born to non magical parents. Petunia is a muggle and has always been hateful towards her sister. The children would have suffered if they had gone to live with her. This Lily knew for a fact.

Sirius was supposed to be the secret keeper to the house but at the last minute switched with Peter Pettigrew. James and Sirius had thought that there final friend Remus Lupin had been a spy for Voldemort. (You-Know-Who's name) So the obvious choice had been for Sirius to be the secret keeper. They had hoped that the switch would have confused there enemies. How wrong they were...

Lily sat down next to James and took his hand into hers. Holding back a sorrow filled sigh in the process. The words 'I must be strong...' repeated over and over in her head in a silent mantra.

"Lily are you sure about this?" James whispered lovingly to Lily as he stared into her eyes.

"Albus said that the protection would be stronger if I am the one to die James." Lily let her unshed tears streak down her face at last.

"They will live without there mother. How can we do that to Harry and Tory?" James let his own tears flow again.

"They will be strong James. I wrote them a letter for there sixteenth birthdays. Just in case something goes wrong." Lily glanced upstairs as she thought she heard a whimper. Though they had just been put back to sleep.

"What if I'm a lousy father? I'm letting there mother fight to the death! It should be me Bright Eyes... I should be the one to do this." James stared into his wife's eyes for a long moment before turning away.

"You are a great father James! You always have been and you always will be." Lily gave him a sad smile before looking upstairs yet again.

"Lily..." James began before he was cut off by two sets of lungs screaming there heads off.

Lily jumped out of her seat and ran up the stairs. There her little babies, twins, Tory and Harry Potter were standing up in there cribs again. Lily reached down and kissed her little girl on the forehead before picking her up. Little Tory blinked up at her mother before slowly starting to calm down. Tory hadn't been sleeping very well for the last week. Nothing Lily did could get her to sleep for more then an hour at a time unless she held her for her entire nap. It was like she sensed that something was going to happen...

Tory and Harry are fraternal twins. Both have raven hair and almond-shaped emerald green eyes. Harry's hair was slightly more wild and Tory's hair was more tame like her mother's. Both have a tan complexion.

Lily smiled down at Harry as he calmed down on his own. It would seem Tory was the one to start crying first and seeing that his sister was taken care of Harry just stopped wailing. Tory on the other hand continued to sniffle into her mommy's chest. Lily cooed at the girl before siting down in her rocking chair.

James came in, after going to get two bottles just in case one or both needed one, and saw Harry quietly siting there watching his sister intently before reaching his arms up to be held by his daddy. James set the bottles down on a table nearby and picked up his child before sitting down on the other rocking chair in the room and watched his wife silently.

"Lily..." James whispered.

"James?" She inquired.

"The children need you more. I know we told Albus that I would take care of the children but it just doesn't seem right. Please Bright Eyes. Please reconsider before its too late." James had tears in his eyes.

"Alright James... Alright..." Lily sighed tiredly.

"I wish there was another way." James spoke softly.

"Albus knows what he's doing." Lily looked at James sadly.

"Sometimes I wonder if he knows something we don't." James muttered under his breath and yet Lily heard him perfectly.

"We want to protect our children don't we?" Lily asked almost timidly.

"There has to be another way Bright Eyes! I don't want to leave the children anymore then you do. There are other protection spells and... and... how do we know this prophecy will come true?" James angrily said.

"We have to trust Albus." Lily looked sadly down at her daughter as though trying to convince herself of that fact.

"Lily... I think we should just leave. Right now. Tell no one but Sirius where we're going. Voldemort will attack the house and we'll be long gone. We can go and raise the children in a far, hidden place where not even Albus can find us. We can help with the war after they have grown up." James bitterly exclaimed.

"James I..." Lily started to say before she was cut off by a loud alarm blaring through the house.

"Lily... Run." James gave Harry to Lily and then ran from the room after kissing Harry and Tory on the forehead and giving his wife one last kiss.

Lily just stood there rooted in her spot. She couldn't move as she heard the yells and screams coming from downstairs. Her heart broke when but a moment later she saw a flash of green light. She knew then that she was all alone. James, her husband, was gone and she and her children were next.

She reached for her necklace to activate the portkey. The door to the room exploded open and Lily found herself falling. She looked up in fear as a man with a black cloak on stepped into the room. Tory and Harry had slipped from her arms and had landed with dull thuds on the carpeted ground. Lily scrambled to get back up and protect her children but Voldemort was one step ahead of her.

"Crucio." Voldemort hissed.

Lily screamed in pain as the twins tried to orient themselves. Tory was the first to recover her senses, after being dropped on the floor like a sack of potato's. She reached for her mommy when suddenly her screaming ended and the big bad man turned to Tory. Tory shook in fear as red eyes met emerald.

"Brat." Voldemort hissed as he lifted his stick to the petrified toddler.

Lily, with shaking arms, reached out and pulled Tory to safety just as the a green light hit where she had been. Lily was having a hard time concentrating for she had been under the cruciatus curse for too long. She is on the verge of sanity. Lily then reached out to grab her other child when Tory wiggled out of her arms.

Tory stood in front of her brother staring up at the evil wizard. She then grabbed Harry's hand and was about to drag him over to her mother when a weird word came from the dark man's mouth. A green light was heading towards her and just as it was about to hit she pulled her brother behind her to protect him. She didn't know what the light would do. All she knew was that it was bad.

Time slowed down for Lily as she watched all of this happen with her arm stretched out. 'No... This isn't happening!' She cried out in her mind. Tory faced the dark man when the light was about a centimeter away beautiful music filled her soul. All fear melted away as the song continued to fill her entire being. Closing her intelligent emerald eyes she waited until the ugly green light hit her on the chest and spread throughout her body and then flowed down her arm and into her brother until the light and magic reached his forehead.

Peace overcame her just as the fear started to return. Harry, being the smaller of the twins, looked up in fear at his older twin sister. For he too was intelligent for his age. He knew something bad was happening. He knew something had happened to his sister. He felt the awful pain coming from his forehead and didn't understand what had happened.

Tory allowed a small smile to grace her lips as she felt her soul slowly being ripped from her frail little body. Tory felt the darkness coming and she welcomed it with open arms. Pain beyond belief savagely tore through her but she couldn't feel it to its full extent. The beautiful bird song was still playing in her head. She somehow knew she was dying but wouldn't die all the way so she sent her twin one final message before her body stilled and the green light was thrown back at its sender.

-I love you Harry and I WILL find you again. Never lose hope...- Was her last conscious thought.

Lily screamed as Tory's innocent little body was engulfed in a bright green light before ashes gently floated to the floor. 'Gone... My baby girl is gone.' Lily felt her tears streaming down her face as that thought repeated itself in her mind.

Voldemort tried to dodge the killing curse but there wasn't enough time so he decided to throw one last curse. One that would ruin many peoples lives. He didn't have the power to send another killing curse (or the time) so he decided to throw another cruciatus at Lily Potter. The green light hit him in the chest and destroyed his body just like it did to Tory. His soul floated away and ashes drifted to the floor as the house exploded from all the powerful magic being used.

Seconds later a thump could be heard echoing throughout the remains of the house. Lily Potter had been under the cruciatus curse for too long. She screamed as she twitched uncontrollably until she fell unconscious never to be the same again. Lily Evans Potter had lost her sanity and Harry James Potter was left as the sole survivor with a lightning bolt shaped scar on the right side of his forehead. He lay unconscious where his sister had once been...

Screams of agony filled the air as the Potter family was found. How had Harry survived? Where is Tory? What happened the night of October the thirty first? Would Lily ever be sane again? The Wizarding world grieved for those whose lives were torn apart. Yet they found time to praise the child they thought to have killed Voldemort. Harry James Potter was alone and Dumbledore would get his way. Lily Potter would be sent to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injures for the remainder of her life.

Or so Dumbledore hoped. Harry Potter never remembered what had happened that night... that is until the Dementors had there fun with him twelve years later.

A/N Well I hope you all liked this first chapter.

I really wanted Lily alive because I will have a later use for her. Harry will not know she is alive until much later. In fact the Wizarding world wont know that Lily Potter is alive. Tory still has a part to play later on even though she died. The truth will eventually be revealed as well as the true prophecy. Harry Potter is the main character and will remain so.

This will not be a mary-sue. Please review and please try not to be mean. Another point I would like to make is that from that night until Harry's third year will happen as it did in the books. Not one thing will be changed from then. Harry wont even remember he had a sister and no one is going to tell him otherwise.

Thank you for reading all of this. Please review and NO flames. I hate them. Also if you do not like this story no one is making you read it. Please do NOT tell me how much you hate it and that it should be taken down. I will not take it down just because you told me to. (Sorry had it happen to another story of mine. Hurt my feelings.) If this story happens to resemble a different story I did not do it on purpose. Please just let me know and not report me or anything because like I said... I didn't do it on purpose. Thank you very much.

PS: I revised this chapter. It is pretty much the same as before but I tweaked it here and there and rewrote like the first half because I didn't like how it sounded. Please keep up the reviews coming! I love to hear from all of you. Ciao for now.
