James Potter stood up from the small blue couch, stretching his arms and legs, throwing The Daily Prophet onto the couch, he walked over to the small bassinet in front of the window and looked in. You could hardly see the boy beneath the bundle of blankets except for the top half of his round, chubby face and a mass of unruly black hair. For a moment, James thought that Harry was asleep, however when he turned to look out the window, he caught one of Harry's brilliant green eyes slightly opening, and clamping shut when James faced him again. He grinned

"Lily? I need to speak to you for a second!" He cried, Yet again noticing someone peeking through the blankets.

"Yes James?"

A slim lady with cascading red hair walked into the small sitting room.

"I think someone is asleep Dear" He said loudly

"Then why are you yel- oh" Lily paused, also seeing one of the curious green eyes opening

"Well that's unfortunate isn't it, Harry won't be able to eat his dessert then will he?" Lily smiled as she heard a faint giggle from beneath the blankets

"And i guess since Harry is asleep, i won't be able to show him my magic Lily"

That did the trick.

"Noo Daddy!Awake! Awake!" Harry kicked of his blankets as Lily and James laughed at their son's antics.

"I'll go get his bath ready, you amuse him" Lily smiled and kissed her husband and baby and left the room. James faced Harry

"Well, lets see what we can do " He said, nuzzling Harry as he picked him up.

"Clara Lutei!" James cried, the small coloured puffs circling and spreading around Harry, who tried to grab the small puffs of colour hovering close to his face.

Lily walked in as the two played

"My two children" She smiled. James \ flopped down onto the sofa, placing his wand between him and Harry and closed his eyes

"Come on Harry, time for your bath!" Lily grinned as the small boy reluctantly toddled over to her, and picked him up. James stood up and the two walked out of the room when all of a sudden, Lily fell to the ground, clutching Harry.

"The... wards..James!"

His face went pale as he raced to the window to see who it was

"Shi- it's him! it's him Lily! run! i'll.. i'll hold him off! take Harry and run!" James embraced the two and ran down the hallway, to come face to face with Voldemort. He felt around for his wand

"Shit" He whispered

"James potter, what nerve you have, to fight me... without a wand?" Voldemort stopped to laugh "Crucio!" James Fell to the ground

"Avada Kedavra!" James twisted, unknowingly morphing into Prongs, he narrowly missed the green blast, which hit the wall behind. The wall began to tumble and break under the sheer force of the spell, and the rocks tumbled onto Prongs, as he morphed back, the last thing he heard was Voldemort's cackling laugh before he blacked out.

Lily ran up the stairs to the nursery clutching Harry to her chest. She barricaded the doors with all she could find, and groped around for her wand

"Shoot!"

Lily felt terrible. Because of one silly mistake, she would be the cause of death of her son! She looked around the room for any way to save them, a broom, a portkey, ANYThinG! Her eye suddenly caught on one of the overturned books on the floor labelled Dark Wards. Would it work? She would have to try, it was the only way. She picked up the book, and flipped to the page she was looking for, Blood Wards. She began to chant

"Sanguine met amore, privari hsec tuebor"

She could here the yells from downstairs

"Procul ab hoste protege, et inimici sanguine"

"AVADA KEDAVRA" Lily ignored, but barely, her heart plummeted as the house shook and rumbled.

"signa ordines defendunt, non semel tantum aetatem pervenerit darent sacrificium!" Lily finished, a golden glow hung in the air. She turned to Harry.

"Harry, mama loves you, dada loves you. Harry be safe, be strong" She stood up as the furniture and items barricading the door were blown away. She leapt in front of Harry, blocking him from Voldemort.

"Step aside, silly girl"

"No.. no please, have mercy! not Harry!"

"Crucio!" Lily fell to the ground, screaming. The curse was released and she shakily stepped up blocking Harry. He was giggling as if it was a game and peered over her shoulder, at the sight of Voldemort's face, he started crying, she clutched Harry, and felt something poking her, a stick. She went to grab it , but before she could she saw Voldemort open his mouth. Harry screamed, throwing the wand as green light rushed to her and saw yet again, a small golden light, and before she blacked out, she hoped to herself that it would work. Hoping that her sacrifice would at least save Harry. Because that was what was most important.

Harry.
