Chapter 2
Lily apparated back to Spinner's End tired and dirty from the rain poured down on her. She felt weak and tired as grief filled her mind after having to give her own baby away. Grief filled her mind as she shook heavily wishing she had her daughter in her arms right now. She headed towards her home as rubbed her arms from being cold. The door burst open with a worried group of people helping her in.
"Oh Lily! My poor little sister!" Petunia cried as she helped Lily inside her home. Lily shuddered in grief as she was put down onto a chair.
"I've heard everything that happened! I'm very sorry about this!" Petunia cried.
"Lily," Severus exclaimed running towards his wife hugging her tightly.
"She's safe Sev. She's far away where the Dark Lord can't possibly find her," Lily breathed. Kingsley Shacklebolt and Albus Dumbledore entered the room where many stood with grief and misery.
"What is her name Lily? I wasn't there to name her or say goodbye," Severus quivered as Lily opened to speak.
"I'm afraid I have to forbid you to tell her name." Kingsley Shacklebolt stepped into the conversation. "I'm sorry. We're being watched. It's best if we reveal nothing of her. There are traitors out there."
Lily looked to the ground with grief filling her mind now that she has to be forced to keep all of this a secret.
"Oh Lily," Petunia sobbed.
"It's also best to keep everything a secret. We should change Lily's identity. Severus, I know you've been a spy. The Dark Lord will probably find out about your daughter," said Kingsley.
"And how are we going to do that?"
"We're going to have to force Lily to marry someone else in order to hide identities of the true marriage. That way, the Dark Lord won't find out about the child between you two," Kingsley explained.
Severus and Lily gazed at each other nervously.
"We just gave up our daughter! We're not giving up each other!" Severus exclaimed squeezing Lily's hand tightly.
"Maybe he's right Sev," said Lily as she looked to the ground with remorse.
"Lily, no! I love you too much to lose you."
"If we want to keep our daughter safe we should do what the Ministry says," Lily shuddered. The three Marauders gazed in horror after another tough decision to be made.
"Alright. As long as they give you all the protection needed," Severus replied.
"James, please. Be her husband. Protect her," Severus said with a pleading tone.
"Me? After all I did to you before we became friends?" James replied in disbelief.
"That day you saved my life, I should repay you for Lily. Do it for her and our daughter. I beg you," Severus replied.
"I will give her all the protection she needs," James replied. "I am deeply sorry about this Lily," James added. Lily gazed at James and the two other Marauders with hopeful eyes.
"Please, James. Will you be our daughter's main godfather if you find her?" Lily quivered as James' eyes widened.
"Y-yes. Of course," James stuttered.
"You two as well?" Lily asked as she gazed at Sirius and Remus.
"Yes Lily, anything for you," Remus replied.
"Thank you all. And if you find her, I ask you for all the protection she needs?" Lily asked.
"I suppose we should do an Unbreakable Vow?" Sirius suggested.
"Sirius, those vows are risky," Remus replied.
"I know, but she was only a newborn. Lily took her to a far away orphanage and if Voldemort stretches his search all the way there, then he might as well go after the baby. This is for her daughter and your future wife James," Sirius remarked about Voldemort searching for the child of the future prophecy.
"Alright then," James said. Severus held out his hand towards James as he grabbed his hand.
"You should do it Sirius since it was your idea," Remus suggested as Sirius sighed pulling out his wand. He cast the spell between the two as they felt the bond travel through their arms.
"Will you James Potter, promise to protect Lily Evans Snape as she is forced into your marriage?"
"I will."
"Will you promise to godfather the daughter of Lily Evans and Severus Tobias Snape through love and protection?"
"I will."
"And will you promise to defend one of them with pride and love when darkness strikes through the barriers of light?"
"I will."
Sirius lowered his wand as the bond faded into the arms of the two men.
"For now on, you will be Lily Evans Potter," Sirius said as Lily stared at James.
"If I find her Lily, I promise to give her all the love she needs," James said rubbing his hand against Lily's face. "And I'm very sorry for the both of you. It must be devastating to give up your only daughter, then yourselves."
"It's worth it for her protection James. Until the Dark Lord is over with, I can have Lily and my daughter back."
James nodded as Petunia stared speechlessly.
"I wish I could've done anything Lily. But Vernon would hate that if I were to watch your daughter," Petunia said.
"It's fine sis. You can be her godmother," Lily replied.
"Everything is settled then?" Remus asked.
"Not yet. We need to obliviate some of your memories Lily," Dumbledore said stepping up.
"No. I'm not going to forget her," Lily replied snappishly.
"You won't. We're just going to obliviate the name of the orphanage you sent her to. All you're going to remember is the appearance of the place instead of the name."
"That's fine. Just as long as I remember my baby."
Dumbledore pointed his wand at Lily as she closed her eyes.
"Obliviate."
The vision of the sign she passed went blurry through her vision as she pictured the moment of despair. Dumbledore lowered his wand as Lily opened her eyes again only remembering she sent her daughter to a home she can hope Selena will be loved in.
"Everything is settled. She is safe. All I can do now is wait until the time comes to have her back," Lily replied frowning upon everyone around her.
