Everything for her.
Summary: After the final battle Harry finds a card from his mom that makes him have a life changing decision.
We find Harry in his room thinking about his life.
A month has passed since the defeat of voldemort and apparently it had not expected effect.
(Harry P.O.V.)
"Flashback"
When a person dies usually his/her soul dies and leaves the body, the body decomposes, and their power starts disappearing with time.
But since Harry and voldemort had a connection, when voldemort died all of his power was passed to him.
However because of that same connection harry couldn't hit his magical maturity which was when he would gain the power.
So a few days after the light victory, his magical maturity hit him, and hit him hard.
Apparently if a person killed a magical thing before his/her magical maturity or used it a lot, they would gain said thing's magical energy and if they are lucky some abilities too.
Of course if this was the case then the purebloods would make their children spend day in, day out crushing magical things right?
Wrong. There is 3 ways to do this.
First they could kill/destroy some REALLY powerful things, say like a philosopher stone, or a 1000 years old basilisk, or even a dragon, or a giant spider, or maybe a ritually powered up wizard, only then would they gain some magic.
Well that's not true killing/destroying a lot of thing with medium power would work too, say like 100 dementors, or a lot of zombies inside a lake, or even a closet full of time turners(1).
Second for a person to gain magic from an object it had to be in a very saturated place, like Hogwarts, but even then if the person used that object just once or for a full year in every day the amount of magic the person could use was very little since he/she would only receive a tine peace of magic from that one object, to be able to use more a person would have to use a lot of magical devices or he could accidently smash the place where they are kept and gain a lot more.
Even then if the person had done all of this, they would still have to use their own magic, so unfortunately it would only work for people with big magical cores.
And thus for step 2 you usually needed step 1.
The third step seems a little simpler but in fact is harder, and it only gives some abilities and even then they could not be useful.
They can get the favour of a magical being.
How they do this is up to them, but usually the simpler way would be to save one.
Like a unicorn being sucked dry of his blood.
Or maybe get one to heal you.
Like a phoenix crying over a wound.
Of course if the person was only doing that for power or skills they would get none.
So step nº 3 didn't work for the power hungry.
Of course no power comes free so even if someone out there could do even one of these things, then on their magical maturity they would be assaulted my some pain.
Not too much to the point of unconsciousness, but it would still be strong. But should someone receive more than one 'gift', then they would get much more pain.
"Flashback End"
Those were the thoughts that crossed harry after IT.
"Flashback"
Everything was going well there were parties everywhere people were happy.
He was in the Great Hall having breakfast like any other day, Hermione and Ron were probably somewhere having fun since he hadn't seen either of them in 2 days.
He still couldn't believe they were together. The two kids whose first interaction and main activity was argue with each other.
'Um maybe that was sexual frustration? But from first year? Dam, definitely don't wana be the godfather of all their children, maybe the first 2'.
'Live is actually starting to look....ugh'
Suddenly harry was starting to feel bad, scratch that he was horrible.
The pain just kept getting bigger and bigger, holding the scream that was threatening to get out was starting to be difficult. Until...
(normal P.O.V.)
"AAAARRRRGGGHHHH"
All in the Great Hall were choked by the sudden scream and started thinking they were being attacked, that is until they turned a saw the boy-who-won.
What they saw made many gasp in shock for it appeared that he was in great pain, and screaming bloody murder .
Many ran to his side to try and help him but it was all for nothing.
"Move out of the way, move out of the way" said madam Pomfrey "we must move him to the hospital wing, NOW."Once again madam Pomfrey proved to be a seasoned healer by having a cold head even at the sight of one of her most special attendants.
"Flashback End"
After that it has only been a haze for harry being the only thing he could feel was pain.
For 25 days he had been in a real of pain having only awaken 5 days ago.
Yesterday Professor Dumbledore(2) had come and explained what had happened to him to the best of his abilities.
After that he had asked about Ron and Hermione and Albus had told him that they had left the day before his incident to go look for Hermione's parents.
They had left.
Without him.
That had hurt. It was always the 3 of them, the Golden trio.
But now, now they left.
He felt betrayed but knew that it would happen soon so he let it go.
"Harry"
"Wa? Oh hi Remus(3) how are you? Asked harry
" I am fine Harry, but there is something that I have for you, I was looking at the things I had ... gained from wills of ... dead friends when I found a letter that Sirius should have gave to you, but since he was on the run he could never go get it. It's a letter from your mom. Here it is you want me to leave?"
"Yes please" asked an incredulous harry.
He never had got know his mom, all people would say was that she was good at charms, very beautiful and only started dating father in her 7 year.
Dear Harry
I am writing this letter since I have a feeling that I won't survive my next encounter with voldemort.
I now look at your face and I can't help but feel that I should have done more to ensure that you stay safe, unfortunately I am just one women but there is something I need to tell you.
He couldn't believe. Here was proof that he was loved. A women had gave her life for him, even made the impossible by stopping the killing curse, and still she thought she could do more.
I know this may come as a shock since probably you have been living with your godfather but I didn't love your father.
!!!???
I know this is not something I should say in a last letter for my only son but I don't want you to ... go with your godfather and father footsteps.
James in the beginning of my 7 year saved me from some death eaters, and so I owned him a life debt.
Using this he made me date, and later on marry him.
I tried to fight but I was bound by my magic.
So I moved in with him, and some time later I had you.
Before your sex was known I wanted to name you Rose were you a girl or Thorn were you a bit. I know you must be thinking what is it with me and flowers, but it's that my family had a tradition of naming our children after botanic things like flowers.
Your father of course when he learned you were going to be a boy gave you the most common name Harry.
I know this card may be a bit of a shock but don't be mistaken, I will always love you no matter what is your name. Even if I do prefer to call you my little Thorn.
With lots of love
Your Mother
Lily Evans
Just then the letter was hit by a tear.
The reason why? Harry for the first time since Sirius death was crying.
He stood there for a while allowing the tears and sobs to get out, trying to sort his emotions.
After managing to calm down he felt something rise in his chest.
It was anger, no, not anger. It was rage of the likes he never felt before.
Greater that when Cedric died.
Even greater that when Sirius died.
And answering his rage's call, his magic came.
He wanted to kill his father. And answering that wish his magic got to work.
To be able to use his magic to the fullest, a simple wand wouldn't work he needed more, so his magic created more.
First it searched for proper material. Being it's chosen the body of the dragon harry accidently killed in his 4º year.
(Dragon reserve)
Since the dragon that harry fought was crushed by boulders made of the castle stones, his skin couldn't be used for armour or cloths, so they laid it the dragon reserve thinking that maybe another dragon would feed of it.
But that was not the case. The dragons knew that the body belonged to the one that defeated it so they left it in peace.
And it as waited to this day, barely decomposed because of to the dragon great magic, until it was needed.
Its long wait has come to an end.
Slowly the bones of the body started to get out of it and join together until all that was left was a pure white staff the size of a grown man.
Next all the claws of the body went to the top of the staff and started uniting until only 3 diamond strong claws were left, they began in the top of the staff and curved a little to the side and the upwards, making it seem like they are holding something.
After that almost all of the scales start to get of the skin of the dragon and start to attach them self to the staff until it is all covered by scales giving it a black like appearance, completely the opposite of how it was. However some of the sharper scales disappeared.
Finally the heart, brain, muscle, eyes, and blood of the dragon condense until all there is left is an orb the colour of green fire that seems to be emitting pure raw power. Attaching itself in the middle of the 3 claws the staff was ready to be used, so using is mode of transportation the air the staff headed at great speed to Hogwarts to its master.
(Forbidden Forest)
Next the magic started to look for a measure of defence, and found its mark in the robes of the dementors harry killed in his 3º year.
Since the power of Harry attack was so great, the cloaks that survived were but mere rags in the soil, but since it was already washed in harry magic and were part of a magical being it was attuned to him.
Since it once belonged to dementors they had the skill to give despair to its bearer enemies, all the while feeding of those feelings. Now that they belonged to harry he would only get more energy.
As the cloaks were atoned with each other they only needed to join together until in the place of the rags was a cloak so dark that it seemed to draw the light of the surrounding area.
The cloak had at the base of it all the scales that had disappeared so that when harry wished he could spin and harm his enemies.
Once finished, the cloak started to go to its master at a slower pace than the staff since it was closer.
(Hogwarts)
(Harry P.O.V.)
How could he?
How could he do this to his wife?
All this time I thought I had 2 in love parents, and now I find out that my mother was forced!!!
It was his fault that she died god dam it!!!
It was his fault that her dreams were crushed. When I get my hands on him I'm...
No I must stay calm.
I now have power to help her, but first I must get answers.
And then...
Then his father would pay.
He would pay.

Wow if it wasn't for the threat of dying I would call harry a mama's boy
This was my longest chapter ever.
Of course I only made 5 chapters so far in my writher history but who cares?
Now let me explain why harry likes his mother so much.
All his life he has had visions of her dying trying to protect him from the killing curse.
Now you tell me if you never had love, and your dreams are of your mother begging, the greatest dark lord of the last years, who usually just by saying his name makes the general population shiver, to kill her instead of you, and then take the first killing course for you wouldn't you worship her?
Wouldn't you hope that one day you could feel that motherly love and do anything to make her happy?
This story was made based on this idea, and that James actually made Lily marry him.
I would like to point out that I gained the idea of the forced marriage from the author "Ignatia Emrys Nox" and his story "Of Evans blood and magic: a journey begins" , but I am not copying him, I just used one of his (minor I hope since the plot isn't that far, but I hope what he is making is totally different from what I am making) ideas.
Now for those of you reading this that are waiting for the next chapter of "The Black Mage" you are going to wait just a little longer.
