Hey,

I don't know what I was thinking, but this was something I needed to write. Leyla McGonagall is in it, she's one off the charectors that I made up. The story starts after Voldemort attacked the Potters. What if Harry survived? But what if Lily survived to? What if Leyla needed to take Harry to keep both Lily and Harry save?

DISCLAIMER: Harry Potter does not belong to me, I'm not that good yet. All charactors and storylines belong to J.K. Rowing who's an inspiration to me! Leyla however belongs to me!
Enjoy!

A painfull plan...

1. That plan

"Good.." Snape turned to Leyla. He didn't smile, he just handed her the baby from the crib. She touched her swollen stomach.
"Severus, what do you want me to do with the child?" she stared at him. "I don't know what do with Harry.., why do I need to take him?"
"Lily needs to believe that Harry is dead.." Snape replied "It's the only way.."

"I'm the most wanted witch in the whole country.." Leyla turned to him.
"Not anymore, when I joined the death eaters, the dark lord had to promise he wouldn't harm you. He has to keep that promise.." Snape replied
"Why do you think he will?" Leyla turned to him. "This is not fair to Lily nor our baby Severus."
"This is your baby now.." Snape touched her hand, "Your baby, keep her save. And Harry, he'll be important to the wizard world one day.."
"So she'll be given to you?" Leyla stared at him. "Lily, she'll be your lover? Are you going to sleep with her?"
"Not if I can prevent it.." Snape replied "But if he.."

"What about me.." Leyla turned to him. "You're in love with me! We have two daughters, Sev. And now you're going out with another woman, Lily is my friend. But I don't want to share my husband. Please go with me, you could bring Lily anywhere. Dumbledore will take care of her. Go with me!"
"No, he'll suspect something.." Snape replied "She needs to be my trophy for what I did, he has to believe it. If not, he'll find out that Harry is still alive. He'll come for you to.."
"So, it's.." Leyla hugged him, Harry was in between them. "Please, go with me! Please!"
"I simple can't.." Snape replied "He still trusts me.."

Leyla pulled Harry to her chest. She started to cry, she was standing in the room where Voldemort had killed Harry. That was what the world needed to believe. The truth was that Leyla had prevented that Voldemort would kill Lily and Harry at the same time. She wasn't able to stop James being murdered. She tried, but he didn't fit anything.
"So, what do I make him believe?" Leyla stared at him. "I don't have green eyes, nor black hair. He'll never be able to believe that I'm his mother.."
"You can say that he has his father's hair, and eyes." Snape replied "You have to make him believe you are his mother, if you fail Harry won't be safe."
"What about Lily?" Leyla replied "I can't raise my best friends baby. She loves Harry."

"I hope this war will stop fast, so we can be together.." Snape replied "When he dies, I'll tell everyone. I'll come and find you, or I'll communicate the truth to you. Leyla, I think you can do this. This is for the best. I promise you. I really think that this is.."
"I can't!" Leyla started to cry again. "This is not what we promised, when we got married."
"We got divorced.." Snape replied "You asked for a divorce, and you left me. That's the story. However I keep the same rules about keeping you safe. He's not allowed to haunt you down."
"Severus.." Leyla cried.

"Go!" Snape pushed her away. "Go!"

With that Leyla stepped on her broom, flying off in the sky. The stars were bright this night. The boy that lived flew away, Snape followed her. He cried while the love of his life left for a new life. It wasn't easy. He stepped out of the house, he knew that he couldn't say anything to anyone about Leyla. Not ever to Professor McGonagall who was Leyla's mother. Snape hoped that she wouldn't try to contact her. It would be undesired if she were to do that. He walked back to his house, waiting for the arrival of one person he wouldn't like to see. Lily, he knew that she would hate him. She wouldn't know the plan Leyla and him had made up to save them. A plan they had to make up in less than two minutes. When she found out about Peter betraying them. He sat down. There was a knock at the door.

"Severus.." Voldemort entered the room, he had with him. He threw her in front of her. "Here's your pet, like you asked for. I killed Harry Potter, I gave you exactly what you wanted. I don't get it.."
"Murderer!" Lily screamed "You killed my baby!"
"Do I need to shut her up for you?" Voldemort wanted to take his wand.
"No, it will be okay.." Snape smiled "Thank you for doing what I wanted my lord."
"Severus, followers as you are made in few numbers.." Voldemort laughed "And when they want a pet, we must give them what they want. You're rather right Severus, keeping mudblood's as a pet is not a bad idea. Is that what you're doing with your wife? Keeping a half blood god as a pet, is just more sick then that. Especially since you married her."
"We're in a divorce.." Snape replied "She's extremely mad with me, since I got her precious god son murdered."

"Murderer!" Lily replied "Leyla will come for me! You'll see.."
"If she comes for you.." Voldemort stepped closer. "Every fiber in my body will enjoy torturing her and killing her. Mudlbood.."
"You monster!" Lily spit on him.

"Crucio!" Voldemort pointed his wand at Lily. Lily fell down the floor screaming. Tears were forming in her eyes. Snape had a hard time watching Lily in pain. He stared at her. "See that's how you train pets, they feel pain. They know what they did is wrong."
"I get it.." Snape stared at Voldemort. "You can stop now, she gets the message."
"How I would enjoy putting your wife under the same treatment.." Snape glared at him. "Excuse me, ex-wife. Good thing she took the kids with her, you don't have to be bothered by any on them."
"I know, my lord.." Snape put his head down.
"So, I guess you want to spend some time with your present.." Voldemort laughed "Don't do anything I wouldn't!"

On that notion, Voldemort left the room. Snape stared around, for one time he felt a bit bad. Lily lay on the floor, keeping still.
"Lily.." Snape walked towards her. "Are you okay?"
"Don't talk to me.." Lily stood up. "I just lost every part of respect that I had left for you. You would betray Ley to him? So he could kill her? You are a bad guy, Severus Snape."
"Lily, I subject you go upstairs.." Snape replied "Get some sleep in the guestroom, you look like you need it."
"They killed my baby!" Lily yelled "If you were a friend, Harry would still be alive."
Lucky I am your friend. Snape thought in himself, as Lily headed upstairs. He wasn't going to harm her, but he couldn't tell her the truth. Voldemort would get it out of her, or she would rush to Harry's side. Not knowing was a bliss, he knew everything. And all he wanted to do was walk to Lily, and tell her the absolute truth. About her son, about the boy that lived. Snape closed his eyes, and wondered where his wife was right now. He closed his eyes imagining her blue eyes. It brought tears to his eyes. He hoped that the war would be over, that Voldemort would die tomorrow.

"Oh, Harry please stop crying!" Leyla screamed to the baby, as she took him from the crib again. She pulled him against her chest, and rocked him.
"He's a handful I see.." A woman on the bench next to her said. "I see you're not thinking about slowing down. Number 2?"
"4 actually.." Leyla smiled "Got two daughters at home, I would have two of each if this turned out to be a boy. It will be a handful.."
"And your husband is he happy?" she stared at her.
"He left me." Leyla replied "It was all sudden, he.."

"I'm so sorry, you don't have to talk to me about it. I'm a stranger after all.." the woman replied "Can I add that your son has your nose.."
"Thank you.." Leyla explained "I always heard it looked like his dad. He looks like his dad, It almost seemed like I was nowhere involved."
"But I have to go.." Leyla stood up. "Katherine, Selena, we're leaving."

Two four year olds walked to her, they were playing not far from her. She stared at the woman.
"What's his name?" she asked "That baby's?"
"His name is.." She paused "Taylor, his name is Taylor."
"Beautiful name.." she smiled "I guess I'll see you here again."
"Have a nice day.." she smiled

Leyla walked towards the house. Still keeping a hold of Harry, or in this case Taylor. She had to make up something. She couldn't risk getting caught. Harry was hers to protect. It's what Lily would have wanted to. She thought about Lily suffering through the loss of a husband and a her child. She pulled Harry closer to her. She could remember the flash of green light, the cries that Harry had given her. And when she took him from the crib. She stared in front of her. She stopped. She wanted to talk to Dumbledore. She wanted, but she couldn't. Severus had forbidden to contact anyone. Voldemort would find out, and everyone would be in mortal danger. She opened the door to her house, and stepped inside for once she'd be happy. For once..

"Can I see my baby?" Lily stepped of the stairs. "I mean.. can I see it?"
"Lily, I don't understand.." Snape turned around. "I think the dark lord has destroyed the bodies. He doesn't want anyone to perform.."
"So I can't even say goodbye.." Lily turned to him. "Why did you want to save me? Why didn't you let me die with my husband and my baby? I would have been better off… Dead!"
"Lily, don't do that!" Snape stared at her. "You know that your life is just as important as Harry Potters. I save you, you should be glad!"
"I want to be dead!" She stepped towards him and smacked her hand in his face. "I want to be with my baby! Now! But I can't even see my son after he passed!"
"Lily, please, I can't get you to Harry!" Snape replied
"I thought you would understand,.." Lily's tears became worst. "You have a baby to, or did you forget that. What would you do if they had just killed your wife and your two daughters? What would you do, Severus? You wouldn't give a damn, since you don't care about anyone or anything."
"Lily!" Snape reacted

"Let me go now!" Lily stared at him.
"No, Voldemort would kill you if I let you go!" Snape replied "You're not going anywhere."
"That's good!" Lily stared at him. "Since I want to die!"
"Well, you'll get over it!" Snape replied "I've been fine ever since Leyla left. It's better!"
"Call her, tell her that she comes and gets me.." Lily replied "I can go live with her! Anything would be better than with you!"

"She wouldn't come!" Snape yelled "Do you think she cares? She doesn't give a damn about you, she knew he went after Harry. She didn't do anything."
"That's because she couldn't!" Lily replied "She's my best friend.."
"No, it's because she doesn't care about you!" Snape replied "I am the only one that cares for you, so now you stay with me!"
"What about Harry?"
