Hey guys! It's your lovely mod of Jily-Everywhere here! A few days ago, I got a request from a follower asking if I would be so kind as to write a prompt inspired by the song All About Us by He Is We. After listening to it for three days straight, I decided to give my hand at writing a full on fan fiction centered around it!


October 1, 1981

Godric's Hollow was a peaceful place until October 31, 1981. On that night, a hooded figure stepped onto the streets, his long fingers delicately holding his wand as he approached a house. He paused outside, looking into the window of the home. In the living room he could see two young lovers embracing on the couch. Between them was a giggled child. The target.

Inside, James and Lily Potter were seated, playing with their son as he laughed and giggled. Harry's laugh, no matter how high pitched a squealing, always reminded Lily of James' laugh. Perhaps it was because her son looked so much like his father. Except for his eyes. A few months ago the blue had finally faded to reveal Harry's beautiful green eyes that James said he loved to much. Sirius joked about James falling in love all over again when he'd first seen Harry's green eyes.

In truth, James Potter had fallen in love all over again when Harry was brought into his life. Not with Lily, though she had been beautiful during her pregnancy and even more beautiful after, but with Harry. Making room for Harry in his heart was hardly a problem for James as he didn't need to move someone out for his son. His heart simply grew to take him in. If someone asked James Potter the who the people he loved the most and would die protecting, Lily and Harry were the top two on the list, closely followed by Sirius, Remus, and Peter.

The same happened to Lily. When Harry had been born, her life changed for the better. Lacking parents to ask for advice or a sister to help her, Lily had taken this challenge head on, devoting as much love as she could to both her son and her husband. In the back of her head, she worried about the life Harry would lead with Voldemort at large. She wondered what would happen to him if she passed on. The last thing she wanted for his was life with the Dursleys. Dudley was barely older that Harry and already Lily heard rumors of have spoiled the rotten child was.

She hoped, if she were to pass, that Harry would be given to Sirius and Remus to take care of. Sirius because Harry would need that fun in his life and Remus because while he did know how to have fun, Harry also needed a responsible influence in his life.

For now, she was using her wand to entertain Harry, her head on James' shoulder as she did.

Until James suddenly stood, pulling his wife and his son off the couch. "Lily," he said, sounding panic and slightly frantic. He handed her his son as he spoke "Take Harry and go! It's him!" Where the bloody hell was his wand? "I'll try to hold him off – just go!"

Lily's eyes went to the window and she found the hooded figure moving toward the door. Her wand having dropped from her hand, she took Harry, giving James one long look before she ran upstair to Harry's room. There was no escape from Voldemort, she knew that.

Meanwhile, James, nobel and brave James faced death with honor. He stared down Voldemort's wand, his eyes unflinching as he looked death in the eye. One more time he was asked to join the Dark Lord and he refused. And, just before Voldemort uttered the killing curse, something happened.

They say one's life is supposed to flash before their eyes when they're about to die. But for James, he saw but one moment. Before him was Lily as she walked down an aisle wearing all white and looking like an angel from the heavens. Then she was illuminated by a sea of green and everything went black.

But then James woke up.


And there is the prologue! Please review, it would really help my motivation to keep this updated
