i in no way own harry potter J.K Rowling does
The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches ... born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies ... and the Dark Lord will mark him as equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not ... and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives ... the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies ...
This was the prophecy about the defeat of Voldemort Lily had been thinking of it and the consequences either her own son or Alice's was destined to defeat a dark lord who had nearly won this war already magic doesn't stabilise until the earliest at age ten this meant ten years more of war but the world wizarding or not would not last that long there had already been too much death it was a horrible thought but Lily was breaking down after seeing her roommate jennifers head explode the previous week they were shopping for Owl pellets of all things when a random Reducto hit her friend there was just so much blood. Noone was caught or seen from Knockturns entrance not that the Ministry was trying the all but joined in most Auror's and Ministry workers being of pureblood descent with high ranking named half bloods as the grunts that idiot Arthur Weasley was head of muggle artifacts department he wasn't a bad man like she he was in the Order of the Phoenix doing his bit against the dark but the man was fascinated with plugs and was somehow a department head. Lily hated the injustice of it sometimes she wondered if the magic was worth it but it didn't matter not anymore because she had a Plan a Horrible, Atrocious Plan if she told James of it he would bound to divorce and probably accuse her of going Dark or maybe insanity so she kept quiet knowing it was for The Greater Good. The Plan was in play at her urging and a few careful confundo's Sirius had already been replaced with Peter who she highly suspected of being a traitor even if he wasn't he'd soon give up the info with torture Peter was and always would be weak.
It was a great risk.
Everyone praised Lily Potter for her Mastery in Charms she was one of the youngest in decades but everyone also overlooked her other skill Potions she had developed seventeen original potions previously this would be her eightteenth and greastest work.
Lily spread the last of it on a see through potion that once applied to Harry's skin would make an invisible barrier that would Absorb a spells energy and fling it back at the caster she could give it to others but Voldemort would soon learn and adapt he would use area Spells and Transfiguration she couldn't risk it it had to end. She wouldn't last her mind wouldn't last a minimum of Ten years of War that could turn to something like Seventeen or more. it had to end now Lily cried for her baby who she knew would live a terrible life but Lily was broken and Lily knew this was the Greater Good Lily rocked her baby gently intending to spend every moment to the last
BOOM! that was the door breaking down "Lily Run take Harry and run!" a sickly green light flashed and she knew her husband was dead looking into her wide awake babies green eyes she faultered and looked at her hand with the potion still covering it.
As the man approached she begged for her babies life hoping the mad man would target at her hand it was her only hope she held her hand out front of her head kneeling hopin he would hit her hand he didn't he went for a wide centre mass shot
noone would ever know of Lily Potters Plan or her Subtle Magic her Potions.
please review
