Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter.

Prologue:

It was a quiet night, It happened. Lily Potter had been feeding his 2 year-old son, Harry, on his room when the front door was blown out its hinges and there stood Thomas Riddle with a gun on his hand.

James, Lily's husband laid unconscious on the floor with a wound on his shoulder, she hadn't heard anything because Riddle's gun had a silencer on.

"JAMES!" Lily screamed, seeing his husband wounded.

"Well, well. So this is where you have been hiding all this time. Give me Harry and nothing will happen to you and your dearest husband." Riddle said with a smirk on his face.

Lily clutched a still sleeping Harry to her chest, knowing that if anything should happen, she would be the one to get hurt or killed, not her beautiful son.

"I would never give you Harry, you monster. He is my and James son, he is nothing to you!" Lily half screamed so Harry wouldn't be woken by her screams.

"Harry is MY son not that idiot Potter! You should have married me not that stupid fuck!" Riddle screamed at Lily, "That's why I am taking what's mine, and Harry IS MINE!" He finished screaming in rage and successfully waking Harry. Little Harry, frightened by the noise let out a wail of fright, making it worst to the circumstances.

"I would have never married you! You were horrible to every one of our friends! You treated everyone like garbage and when you turned abusive towards me I left! I'm happy with James, and Harry has nothing to do with you, and he never will!" Lily shouted trying to inch to a panic button she had, knowing that this day would arrive sooner o later.

"What do you mean abusive! I loved you! You were everything to me! I treated you like a princess, but it wasn't enough for you! It never was enough for you! Everything I did, you questioned or thought it was a bad idea! I was never enough!" Riddle screamed pointing the gun toward her, and looking at her with a loved crazed look, that made him look like a complete maniac.

Lily was able to finally pushed the panic button that would alert the police, she had to buy sometime so nothing would happened to her family.

Little Harry mean time was beginning to quiet but still almost silent whimpers would come out of his little body. His big green eyes, still wet from the tears turned to Riddle looking at him with a frightened look.

"Mama, me scawy." Harry managed and turned to look at her mother gentle smile, and began to feel better, knowing that in her mother's arms nothing would happen.

"Tom, Harry is my son. You can never have him, you don't even know anything about taking care of someone other than yourself! Please leave us alone! I'm finally happy with my family, everything I ever wished for!" Lily pleaded at Riddle, while he still aimed the gun at her.

"Put the baby on his crib. You wouldn't wish something happened to him." Riddle said, with outmost tranquility.

Lily turned to the crib and put Harry in it, despite the whimpers of the babe getting louder. She put herself in front, shielding him from Riddle.

"If you really want Harry then you're going to have to kill me first. " Lily said, resigned to her fate, but happy that at least she would die protecting her family, her everything.

Finally, Riddle aimed the gun and fired. The bullet when straight to Lily's heart, killing her instantly. Riddle watched as the life vanishes from her green eyes and her red hair flew like a veil on her head as she went down. Harry, had not heard anything, just watched as her mother fell to the ground and become still. Harry began to call her wishing to be in her mother's arms again and far away from the bad man in front of him.

Thomas Riddle looked at Lily's corpse feeling guilty of killing someone for the first time in a long time. And while he was just starring and lost in thought, he failed to hear the police enter the house. He suddenly was thrown to the floor and he could hear shouting about being arrested, he didn't understand much of what was happening; he only had eyes for the little boy on the crib, with the same green eyes of her beautiful Lily.

Few days later, the funeral of Lily Evans nee Potter was taken place. James Potter had miracously survived the gun shot and was going to be able to live so he could raise Harry, with the help of Sirius Black and Remus Lupin, his best friends since high school.

After that, they heard that Thomas Riddle was sentenced to 15 years in maximum security prison. James, of course wasn't happy with the small amount on time in jail, but wasn't able to do much.

Harry would have to grow without his mother beside him, watching as he grew little by little.
