The moment he heard chaos outside he knew peter Pettigrew had betrayed
his trust.
"Lily take harry and go inside" said James potter as he
got ready to go outside, determined to protect his family. lily knew
not to argue , she scooped up the one year old in her arms and went
inside, her heart thumping wildly , she held harry close , determined not to let go.
Then she heard a scream, the scream of the person she
knew too well, the scream of the person she loved. In an instant she knew that James had left her. Tears started welling up in her eyes threatening to fall but she quickly pulled them back as she had to be strong for harry. Ignoring the internal pain in her heart she braced herself for what was about to happen next. She could hear the cold menacing laughter from outside.
Gradually the heavy footsteps from outside began coming closer and the door to the bedroom opened. Lily put harry down in the cot and
threw her arms in front of it as if to protect harry. She begged for
mercy in front of the cold hooded figure but all she got in response
was cold menacing laughter and heart wrenching taunts. With a blinding
green light she fell to the ground limp less. Even the ignorant one
year old knew that his mother had left him. Tears began streaming
down his face.
Now the hooded figure proceeded to destroy what was
left of the family but what he didn't know was that even after lily was dead
her protection and love stayed with harry. His attempt to kill harry
failed and before he could analyze what was happening the curse
rebounded and his soul shattered in a million pieces.
