I disclaim ownership of Harry Potter and stuff like that.
this is Not a songfic.
"Little babe,
sleep, will carry you away,
Dream well, dreams that will come true"
Mrs. Potter sang sweetly to the small face of her son, bundled in her arms. Flowing slowly, life was good. Gently rocking in a creaking wicker chair by the window of the nursery. It was one of those days where you felt invincible and perfectly warm and comfortable inside your skin. She just wanted to curl up with her son and hum for the rest of her life, and today, she felt as if she could.
The air tasted of autumn, as it sually does around Halloween. Lights in the street below them illuminated the leaf-strewn street in the falling darkness of the peacful world around them. Setting sun casting long shadows over the neighborhood, the Peace was carried through the open window with a seasonally scented breeze, a perfect October's day.
"Little babe, Sleep will carry you,
Heavy eyelids fall
away to lands where dreams come true
Little babe-"
A crack echoed through the street below. Lily's heart stopped beating for a moment. She then realised this was near the time Sirius checked on the. She continued to hum tunelessly. A low hum that echoed in the young boys ear, he drifed away to the low rumble from inside his mother's chest. Lily continued to rock him peacefully to sleep.
Time subsided and the sun set slower than usual. It had been a lovely day and Lily was tired, eyelids heavy over bright eyes, she let fall into a soft dream that hummed to her, peace and safety.
Several loud Cracks, an un nerving bang, a crash and her husbands voice as she had never heard, pained, called out to her. "Lily!" There was no time to be surprised. She lay Harry in the chair, covered him with a blanket and pulled out her wand, standing at the ready. Her feeling of braveness decreased with every scream and shout, every bang and clatter, and finally, the last noise stopped. Creaking footsteeps up the stairs. her heart beat erratically, no thoughts processed propperly. She could not move enough to open the door and give the element of surprise, she was surprised she could evem hold her want at the ready without vomitting. She gluped down air as the door burst open. "EXPELLIARMUS" She screamed but, it did nothing, he brushed it away. nothing came to mind.
Not one thing.
Her entire life flashed pitifully before her eyes. "Move." the thing said. She could not understand, she could not ask why. It spat at her again, "Stand away you silly little girl." she could not see harry, but his image flashed in her mind. Bravery came now, and words tumbled out of her mouth before she knew what she said, "Kill me instead. Take me." He flashed menacing angry teeth, "You need not die." She stood tall. "Step away!" He shouted, and the last thing she knew was a blinding green light, and a happy little thought that she did not have time to figure out.
and that was it; The End of Lily Evans.
