Chapter 2
Lily moved frantically behind her daughter and the man that was following her. She looked ahead, and watched as Prim was chasing some type of bunny. Why the hell did her daughter have to have such a fascination for those damn things? Ever since she was little she would chase them into the woods,and it was cute. But this was different. Now she was being chased by some random stranger. She'd told James to be careful around the people he didn't know, and now it seemed like that man was gonna do something to his daughter. Lily pulled out her wand, and aimed her sights for the man. The man finally caught up to Prim.
"Stup-"
Lily slammed into an invisible wall, and stumbled backwards. She was caught by James and Sirius who'd been running behind her. Even when she was falling her sights remained on Harry and Prim. Lily watched as Harry shot a blue spell at the bunny, and it quickly transformed into a man.
Lily's head begun to spin as she couldn't believe what she was seeing. She didn't realize what was happening until she watched Harry hit the blond man with a red spell. The blond man was launched back as he dropped his wand. He landed near a door, and two men stepped out from the shop.
"Bloody Hell...," whispered Sirius as his eyes widen in horror. His eyes darken, and he let go of Lily before pulling out his own wand. Lily could feel James's hands shake as he held onto her, and she looked up to see the terror and desperation in his eyes.
"You gotta be kidding me..." stammered James as he looked at the two men who'd appear. Lily looked back at the scene in front of her, and it suddenly dawned upon her that Harry meant no harm to her daughter. It seemed more like he was trying to protect Prim from those three men in front him. Lily's eyes widen in shock as she recognized the two men who walked out of the shop….Fenrir Greyback and Antonin Dolohov. Two powerful Death Eaters who'd managed to elude Aurors after the fall of he-who-shall-not-be-named.
Sirius frantically shouted, "James we need to get in there before the kid gets himself slaughtered!"
Lily didn't wait for Sirius's invitation, when she too started firing several spells at the to find a counter-curse to bring it down, or a weakness for them to exploit. Then the duel in front of her came alive. Harry shot out a bunch of birds from his wand. He then turned around, and hit Prim with a blue colored spell. Sending her flying backwards.
"That coward!" hollered Sirius as he watched Prim land on the ground with a thud. Lily couldn't help, but think the same thoughts as maybe the boy had given up Prim. Harry flicked his wand, and the three watched as the statues around Prim came alive. They dropped protectively in front of her, and then grew in size. Lily's mouth dropped at the display of magic, and uttered, "Piertotum Locomotor?"
"Piera what?" asked Sirius in confusion as he looked at Lily. That's when James shot off a bunch of colored spells into the sky, and he responded, "It's a very powerful charm and high level of transfiguration that brings statues to life, and make due whatever the caster wants."
Lily nodded as she watched Harry begun to duel it out with the three Death Eaters. Lily had only been 18 when she joined the order, but even then she wasn't capable of taking on three highly skilled Death Eaters. This kid however….he was not only keeping up with them, he was challenging them. Stunned at the level of magic that the young man was showcasing. She then admitted, "I didn't even learn the spell until I begun training to one day take over Professor Flitwick's position of teaching Charms. Even with all my experience…..it took me years to master."
"He did say he was taught by Dumbledore, but I've never heard mention of him" stated James as he moved his attention to the barrier, "But that's the least of our problems at the moment."
"Mom! Dad!" came two voices from behind. Lily turned around to see her two other children run up to her. The eldest daughter with the long beautiful black hair and green eyes, and their only son that looked a lot like James. Rosie quickly ran up to Lily, and Daniel followed right next to her.
"What's going on? We saw Dad's auror signal, and-"
Rosie cut herself off when the crackling of lightning brought her attention to the epic duel in front of her. She watched as a young dark haired man shoot a bolt of lightning at a balcony above a big hairy brute of a man. The balcony crumbled by the power of the lightning, and fell downwards on the man. The man effortlessly managed to stop the rubble in mid air.
Lily looked over at Harry, and watched him block a spell before casting another one. This time he twirled his wand, and blur could be seen underneath the other man's feet. The ground underneath him sunk down, and he tripped onto his knees. The rubble floating above stopped floating, and crashed down on the man.
"He took one down!" exclaimed Sirius.
Lily took a sharp breath as she watched the blond man finally land a spell on Harry's thigh. Blood gushed out of his leg, but Harry didn't slow down as he fired another spell. Hitting the blond man, and causing him to grab his eyes in pain. Then Harry hit him with a very bright red spell, and sent him flying into a shop.
"Now it's one on one," commentated Lily as she'd stopped her spell work to watch the duel in front of her. Like the rest around her, she'd been immersed by the rare level of duel occurring in front of her.
James gulped, "Yeah, but now he has to face Antonin Dolohov. One of the most powerful Death Eaters that'd ever served you-know-who."
"He could probably take me and James at the same time, and give us one hell of a fight," added Sirius. Realizing that the boy's battle had only 's attention was brought back to her youngest daughter.
"Prim?" exclaimed Rosie as she looked at her youngest sister standing near some statues. Rosie clamped her hand over her mouth, and Lily could see the guilt in Rosie's face.
"It's not your fault Rosie." reassured James as he put his hand on his daughter's shoulder. Lily met James eyes, and knew that James had also come to realize Rosie's conclusion of the situation.
"Bloody Hell." exclaimed Daniel as he watched Harry and Dolohov exchange spells like it was nothing. Lily was tempted to give her only son a good tongue lashing for his language, but at the moment she was too concerned about her youngest. After all she couldn't blame her son for being amazed by the high level of magic on display. Harry and Antonin were exchanging spells like they were having a food fight in a buffet. In fact all you could really make up was a blur of their wands, and the explosion of colors all around them.
Lily gasped when she noticed a couple of stray spells get past Harry, and towards Prim. The statues moved quickly to protect her, but destruction of the spells continued to reduce the number of statues. Lily's face dropped as she only counted 4 of the 10 statues left.
Then the onslaught of spells stopped at once. For a moment the whole world stopped, before it was brought back to life by the two wizards casting their spells. A bright red light shot out of Harry's wand, and a bright purple light shot out of Dolohov's wand. The two jets of lights collided causing them to connect. A battle of will had insued.
Lily had only seen this occur in the First Wizarding War, and had come to learn that it only ever occurred when two high level wizards cast a powerful spell at the exact same time. Other than that it was a very rare occurrence, and it came down to coincidental timing. If the duel had taught her anything, it was that it was more than likely the former.
"Mom! Prim's waking up!"
Lily's head snapped towards Prim, and she watched as the youngest Potter was getting to her feet. Prim stared up at the statues for a moment, before her gaze was set on Harry and Dolohov's duel.
"Auror Potter and Auror Black!" came a voice from behind, and soon a team of Aurors had arrived on the scene. James quickly shouted out orders, and Lily watched as the Aurors each begun to fire a purple spell at the ward. Apparently James had figured out how to take out the barrier, but it would take time.
"PRIM!" shouted Rosie
Lily frantically looked back towards the battle. Only to see Prim running towards Harry. Away from the safety of the blond man from before emerged from the store with his wand in hand. The man flicked his wrist, and a spell shot out of his wand. Lily could only watch in silence as the man shot a spell at Prim, but from the corner of her eye she saw Harry wave his free hand. Prim fell to the ground, and barely ducked underneath the spell.
A green light stopped everyone in their tracks, even the Aurors had stopped casting their spell. They all looked towards the green light to see Harry miraculously stop the spell by conjuring a flock of butterflies that killed nearly all of them just as quickly as they were conjured. This time a bright white light caught their attention, as a lightning bolt left Harry's wand killing the remaining of the conjured butterflies and hit Dolohov in the chest. The man was sent flying backwards where he landed and didn't move.
Daniel cheered, and all the adults let out a sigh of relief. The aurors restarted their spells, and went back to work on bringing down the barrier. Lily kept her eyes glued on her daughter as she embraced Harry in a hug. It was over. Yet it wasn't.
Lily could feel a chill go down her spine as she watched Greyback emerge from behind the rubble. Some blood poured down the side of his head, and evil snarl appeared on his face.
"HARRY!" Lily shouted and frantically moved trying to get his attention. She finally met his eye, and she could see it dawn in his eyes. He quickly pulled Prim away from him, and tossed her away from him. Then an explosion sent him somersaulting after her.
The Aurors had all stopped their spell as they watched the scene unfold in front of them. What had seemed like a victory had quickly turned into a nightmare. Lily flinched as she saw Greyback stand over Harry. Then hit him with a dark red spell. Harry convulsed frantically in pain, and he could see his the veins pop out all over his body. Lily didn't have to hear the incantation to know what spell was being cast. That's when Prim decided to get back up.
Lily dropped to her knees, and could feel all her strength leave her body. She didn't utter a word as the scene in front of her unfolded. Prim had gotten back up, and gotten the werewolf's attention. Prim yelled at him before a burst of underage magic erupted. Shards of glasses were launched at the man, and she'd managed to infuriated the hairy man. Greyback stepped away from Harry. He then summoned Prim to his outstretched hand. Lily could feel the blood drain from her face as she knew what was coming next.
Tears ran down her face as she silently watched the man snarl his teeth, and open his mouth wide. It was like the world had gone quiet. She could no longer hear her husband yell curses at Greyback, nor could she her the frantic cries of her two other children. All she could hear was her heart snap in two at the idea of what was going to occur.
Then Lily blinked, and the world returned to it's normal state when Greyback let go of Prim. Prim collapsed to the ground as Fenrir held both his hand up to his throat. Were blood seeped through his fingers. Suddenly he was hit with a bright blue light sending him flying away from Prim. Lily looked to the side to see Harry on his knees, and his wand in his outstretched hand.
"That was too close," gasped Sirius from Lily's side. The barrier in front of them begun to disintegrate. Lily watched as the barrier was now a hint of blue, and it was slowly coming down from top to bottom.
The moment the barrier came completely down, Lily rushed forward and ran towards her daughter. She crossed the space like a mad sprinter in the Olympics. Without a word she scooped her up, and hugged her tightly as she fell back onto her knees. She held onto her baby girl tightly afraid she may disappear if she didn't. Prim hugged her mother back, and suddenly James was also hugging the both of them.
"My beautiful Primrose. Thank Merlin you alright." sobbed Lily. She then let go of Prim, and set her right in front of her. Lily whipped some of the blood that been sprayed on her. Then James was the one to ask.
"Are you alright, sweetheart?"
Prim nodded, "I'm okay Daddy, but Harry…."
Lily looked over at Harry, and saw that Sirius was attending him. Lily looked over at Prim, and could see tears run down her eyes. What exactly had her daughter's seen?
"Daddy, he wouldn't stop crying in pain. And you told me big kids don't cry! He just kept yelling, and crying." rambled Prim as she looked at her father. Absolutely livid that she'd been lied to. James didn't respond not sure how to go about answering her questions. He looked at Lily for an answer, but she was just as lost about explaining what the cruciatus curse was without scaring her daughter.
"Don't worry about that Prim. He's fine now. Here let's ask him how's feeling. I'm sure he'll tell you he's perfectly fine." answered James at last, and Lily scooped her back up. However, Prim pouted and she looked away from both of them. Lily picked up her daughter, and brought her towards Harry. Hoping that the stranger would calm her. She then walked onto the scene of her only son pestering the man for his lightning spell.
"But I only want to learn the cool lightning spell!"
"Daniel Charles Potter! Shut it right now or you won't be going to the Quidditch World Cup this year." threatened Lily feeling ashamed of her son not understanding the severity of the situation, and to be acting like such a child. Daniel merely shot her a dirty look, but Lily ignored it. She finally took a good look at Harry, as she'd not been paying much attention to him earlier. That's when she nearly dropped Prim. Her eyes widen as she looked at what was a carbon copy of….her father. The bright green eyes, the black hair, fair skin, but above all the harden gaze in his eyes. Lily's father had been a WWII vet, and she could always remember that harden soulless look he would sometimes give.
She was about to speak when Harry fell back, and began to convulse erratically. Lily could only gasp as she watched the boy twitch uncontrollably, and that's when she heard Prim yell, "Harry!"
A blue spell hit Harry right in the chest, and he stopped moving all at once. Footsteps approached from behind, and Lily was stunned to be in the presence of the stood up from his position, and James followed him. Dumbledore walked towards them with his Phoenix perched on his shoulder.
"It's nice to see you and Mr. Potter, but it's such a shame for us to meet under such terrible circumstances." exclaimed Dumbledore as he moved towards Harry with his wand pulled out. Prim managed to pull herself away from her mother, and she stood above Harry's body. Her arms extended out.
"Leave Harry alone!"
Dumbledore stopped in his tracks, and raised an eyebrow at the little red haired girl. Lily watched as Dumbledore gave his youngest a smile before saying, "Do not fret Ms. Little Potter, as I mean no harm to Mr. Evans. I've come to collect him."
"Albus, what are you doi-doing here?" stumbled James as he looked up at the headmaster as he hardly saw him outside the school.
Dumbledore gave him a reassuring smile, and pointed at the red phoenix. Fawkes head twitched as he looked around, and it's gaze fell on James. Dumbledore explained, "I was a bit worried that Harry hadn't arrived, I thought he'd be a bit more prompt. I sent Fawkes to go retrieve him for me, and he returned to me to tell me that he was in the middle of a….problem."
"Yet, when I arrived I found him to already have resolved the issue," continued Dumbledore as he looked down at Harry, then he added, "Mr. Evans has always had a knack for running into trouble, maybe I was a bit hopeful that nothing serious would occur in the humble area of Diagon Alley."
"Is he really your student?" asked Sirius as he'd been suspicious of Harry's story earlier.
Dumbledore nodded, and answered, "Yes and no. I've taught the young lad, but nothing like I did in Hogwarts. I only gave him a few lessons. I would usually just come to him to give him textbooks and a curriculum to follow."
Lily looked at the boy with more astonishment amazed at the boy's ability to pretty much teach himself, but she knew that Dumbledore must have given him some very good pointers. Or he wouldn't be as gifted as he was.
Before anyone could ask any questions Fawkes jumped off Dumbledore's shoulders, and landed on Harry's stomach. He then let out a loud screech that caused Prim to step away from moment Prim had taken enough steps back the bird stopped, and alongside Harry erupted in flames. Leaving nothing, but a few rocks on the streets stained in blood.
"Fawkes will be taking Harry to Madam Pomfrey. She has been looking after him since he was little, and I'm sure he'd appreciate to be treated by a familiar face." explained Dumbledore, and then looked at James and Sirius, "I'm sure you would like to get some information from , but you'll need to wait until he is awake. I will inform you when he does."
James and Sirius nodded not question the man's reasoning, and then Dumbledore met the gaze of Prim. He then offered her a smile, "Once he's better you're more than welcome to check on Harry. It's nice to see someone care about him other than me. Just between us he doesn't have many friends, but I'm sure he'd be happy to be your friend."
Prim let out a toothy grin, and nodded. Lily looked at Dumbledore a bit skeptical not sure if she wanted her daughter associated with the boy. That's when Daniel let out his displeasure, "Oh come one, Headmaster. Can I visit him too? He never said he won't teach me that lightning spell."
"Daniel!" screeched Lily as she gave Daniel her final warning. Dumbledore chuckled, and added.
"Mr. Potter I'm sorry to tell you, but I don't think he is willing to share it with a twelve year old." Daniel let out a pout, but Dumbledore continued, "However, if you impress him with your schoolwork, maybe come your seventh year, when you take the NEWT level class for Defense against the Dark Arts, may he consider teaching that tricky spell."
Rosie's gave a confused looked and glanced over at Dumbledore, "What do you mean professor? Why would…. care about Daniel's schoolwork."
"After all he is the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. I'm sure both of you will end up learning a lot from Professor Evans. After all he's the most talented wizard, I've met in a long time." praised Albus as he turned away from the wizards in front of him, and apparated away. Rosie's eyes widen in surprised, while Lily could see the stars form in Daniel's eyes. All the while she didn't know how to feel. After all she'd never imagined meeting a colleague in such an adventurous and dangerous way.

Harry couldn't remember how long he'd been floating in this dark abyss. It was like he was asleep, but he really wasn't. He'd been asleep earlier, but now he could tell something was keeping him in this dreamlike state. Floating in the darkness unable to see anything. Harry had been floating in this dark abyss for hours, when everything begun to change. A hint of orange could be seen at the very end of his sight. Then as quickly as he'd seen the orange light, Everything around him also begun to turn into orange, and suddenly he was surrounded by all this orange.
Everything became hazy, and Harry found himself losing focus on what he was doing. His memory suddenly became unclear, and he felt himself closing his eyes for a few seconds. Then he opened orange colored abyss was gone. Now Harry was in a room. He was in a….nursery? Harry looked around the room, and was surprised to see it decorated with several baby things. He could see a few quidditch figures, brooms, owls, cats, and a few other magical looking toys. Harry couldn't help, but smile. The room was very nice, but for some reason it looked oddly familiar.
A loud bang from downstairs broke him from his thoughts. He could hear a woman's scream, followed by two men shouting. Harry's instinct was to check it out, but as he moved forward he felt himself fall forward. That's when it dawned upon him. Harry was sitting in some crib….as a baby. He pushed himself up having a ton of difficulty. When he finally sat up he watched as his mother burst through the door, and shut it close with her wand. She looked over at Harry with a face of fear. She moved across the room, and pulled a box from underneath Harry's crib. Lily pulled out a teddy bear, and she handed it over to Harry. Harry grabbed onto it, and Lily spoke in a soft voice.
"Okay, honey, hold on. It's going to be dizzy ride."
Harry watched his mother mutter something, and close her eyes. Then nothing happened. Lily flung her eyes open, and she looked at Harry in alarm. She repeated her incantation only to watch nothing happen.
"No...no...no!" screamed Lily as she tossed the portkey across the room. Harry watched as her mother cried into her hands for a brief moment. Very slowly she looked Harry in the eye, and Harry could see the determination behind her teary eyes.
"Harry….Harry you were so loved." expressed Lily with a sad smile.
"Harry….momma loves you…..Daddy loves you….Harry be safe...be strong."
Harry could feel the tears drip down his face, and before he could even think of anything else he watched as the door exploded into several splinters. Appearing from behind it was no other than Voldemort.
Harry could feel his breathing increase, and his heart pulse skyrocket. Anger filled his head, and tried to move forward but his body was stuck. Lily turned around frantically, and covered Harry with her body.
"Ah...finally….I meet the newest addition of the Potter Family."
"Not Harry, not Harry, Please not Harry!" begged Lily with a sob caught in her throat.
Harry gritted his teeth and he begun to yell.
"Leave her alone, you piece shit! Leave her alone!" growled Harry, but to his surprise nothing came from his mouth.
"Stand aside, you silly girl….stand aside,now…."
Harry watched as his mom shook her head reluctantly, and Harry watched a grin appear on Voldemort's face.
"Not Harry, please no, take me, kill me instead!"
He watched Voldemort race his wand, and his mother's begging continued, "Not Harry! Please….have mercy…..mercy!"
"NO DON'T KILL HER!" screamed Harry at the top of his lungs, and he felt his body struggling with every ounce of his strength, but his baby self just wouldn't move.
"PLEASE! VOLDEMORT DON'T!"
"Avada Kedavra!"
"MOM!"
The familiar green light covered Harry's sight, and the haunting scream of his mother filled his ears.

It had been two days since the dreadful incident, and Lily now found herself in Hogwarts infirmary. Her husband had practically begged her to go check on Harry, and now she stood near his bedside. James had been nagging her all day to go check on her potential relative, and he wouldn't listen when Lily told him she didn't have any family left besides Petunia. In the end, he managed to convince her by reminding her that the Potter family owed him a life debt.
So, here she was visiting some stranger because of her husband's hunch. Lily looked down at Harry, and let out a sigh as she inspected his face. She had to admit he held a strong resemblance to their father, in fact, he looked exactly like him. Lily felt a chill go down her spine as she remembered looking into his eyes following the conclusion of the duel. Those cold-beautiful green eyes her father always had.
Lily reached into her purse, and pulled out some biscuits that Prim had baked. She placed them on the night stand next to Harry, and then pulled out a small vial from her purse. Lily probably would've brushed off James's hunch as a coincidence in last names, but something was telling her that James was right. That this boy may indeed be related. The only way to be sure was through a DNA test.
Lily looked back at the young man, and reached out to pluck a piece of hair. That's when the door burst open, and Lily stuffed the vial back into her purse. Madam Pomfrey had walked into the room with her red and white robes. She looked up at Lily, and gave her a curious look.
"Professor Potter, what are you doing here? I'm pretty sure the next Professors meeting won't be for another week. And this certainly isn't the Great Hall." stated Madam quite not happy that Lily was here. Lily was a bit taken back by Madam's rudeness, but then realized she's pretty much sneaked in here
"I apologize Madam, I may have abused my powers of entering Hogwarts as I wish. I just wanted to check up on H-Professor Evans, after all I wanted to thank him for his help." explained Lily.
Madam looked over at Lily, and gave her a nod, "Well, he is fine, and please notify me if you are to….abuse your powers again in the future. I was a bit startled to find someone else in here."
"I apologize, but I just wanted to check on his well-being. I was quite surprised to still find him unconscious….is he some type of coma?"
"Yes," nodded Madam, "But it is an induced coma, it was necessary to treat the effects of the cruciatus curse."
"But I thought induced coma's were only placed on people with long exposure to the cruciatus curse. I mean….sure Harry was under it for a minute or two, but it wasn't as long as some people," muttered Lily's mind pondered to the incident that had occurred to Longbottoms.
Madam took a sharp breath, and whispered, "Well, this isn't exactly Harry's first time being exposed to the Cruciatus Curse."
Lily paused for a moment, and let it sink. Then she stammered, "But the-the….he's only twenty. What do you mean it's not his first time?"
"Dumbledore explained everything to me…." answered Madam, and Lily saw the great look of pity she gave the boy. She then cleared her throat, and continued, "Did you ever hear of a school called Gloria Academy?"
"Gloria Academy…." repeated Lily as the name sounded familiar. Then her eyes widen in shock, and she looked over at Harry.
"The Gloria Academy Massacre of 1989….Harry attended Gloria Academy," said Madam Pomfrey in a quiet voice. Lily looked over at Madam, and her head spinned for a moment. Then something clicked in her head.
"Are you saying that Harry was one the very few that survived, and that during that….bloodbath he was tortured with the Cruciatus Curse," asked Lily in disbelief.
Madam nodded, and Lily looked back over at Harry. The number 1989 playing back in her head several times, before she stood up from her chair and dropped her purse. A lump formed in her throat, and she looked over at Madam with a white ghostly face.
"He would've only been 14 or 15."
Lily swallowed the spit in her throat, and sat back down. She realized that he would of been Rosie's age. She couldn't bear the thought of any of her children having to be exposed to the unforgivable let alone at the age of 15.
As she sat in her chair she watched as Madam Pomfrey pulled out an orange vial, and move towards Harry. She stood right next to him, and looked over at Lily. She then said, "I'm only telling you this because I wanted you to understand the price that comes with saw the raw power he pocesses with your own eyes. You may be a professor now Lily, but do remember with great power comes great sacrifice. As the mother of the-girl-who lived, I want you to understand this. After all, there will come a day in which He-who-shall-not-be-named will come back to hunt her down. He's attempted to be revived several times, and I'm sure there will be a day in which he succeeds."
Lily nodded, and then Madam added, "As well I was hoping you wouldn't give Harry such a hard time."
Madam then moved over to Harry, and opened the vial. She carefully placed the vial on his lip, and poured the substance down his throat. When the vial was emptied, Madam pulled herself back and placed the vial to the side.
"Now that should complete the treatment, and he'll probably wake up soon."
Harry's neck twitched, and it twitched again. Lily's neck snapped up, and met the shocked eyes of Madam Pomfrey. Harry's breathing increased, to the point that it was almost like he was panting. Lily watched as Madam moved to the back of the room, and started searching through several drawers. Madam then shouted, "Lily if he starts to move hold him down. Whatever you do don't let him fall off the bed."
On cue Harry's body begun twitch, and Lily had to jump on Harry to keep him down. He moved uncontrollably, and suddenly he began shouting, "Leave her alone, you piece of shit! Leave her alone!"
Harry's body stopped moving. Lily could feel the sweat on his body, and his heartbeat racing. Then all at once Harry let out an abundance of strength. It took every ounce of muscle that Lily had to restrain Harry. The screams got louder.
"NO DON'T KILL HER!"
Lily looked down at Harry, and realized that he must be in some nightmare. Then Lily shouted back, "Harry wake up! It's only a dream!"
At that moment Madam finally stopped going through her drawers, and pulled out a black vial. She then turned around only to be met by the pleading of Harry, "PLEASE! VOLDEMORT DON'T!"
The name stopped Madam in her tracks, and it caused Lily to loosen her grip on Harry. It had been a mistake as Lily was thrown to the foot of the bed, and Harry followed right behind her. Harry sat up from the bed, and he reached forward his hand only a few inches from Lily's face. From the corner of the room Harry's wand flew towards Harry, barely missing Madam, and right into the hand of Harry. The wand's end lit up red, and Harry screamed, "MOM!"
Lily's eyes met Harry's as his eyelids flung open, and Lily watched a flash of green abruptly appear in Harry's eyes. Lily stayed frozen as she couldn't help, but stare at Harry's grieving face. The light disappeared from Harry's wand when he noticed Lily and whispered, "Mo-"
"Stupefy."
Harry was sent flying two beds over, and landed on the ground with a thud. Lily looked over at Madam, and gave her a bewildered look. Madam kept her wand pointed at Harry, and she then explained, "What just occured right now is a rare side effect of the potion. It produces a similar effect as the confundus charm, and then makes the person relive a dark memory. In essence, the ultimate nightmare."
"We don't know what Harry saw, and he could still believe that he is in this dream. If he was dreaming of being in mid battle….then you can imagine the results."
Lily watched as Harry grabbed onto the bed, and pulled himself up. He looked at her with a bit of confusion, and then he glanced at Madam. His eyes then narrowed, and he shook his head. He pulled himself up, and put his arms up. Harry dropped his wand on his bed, and spoke, "I'm fine now, Madam. I don't see any reason for you to keep that wand in my face."
Madam took a deep breath, and let her wand down. Harry then sat on a nearby bed with a thud, and he also let go of a deep breath. Lily watched as Harry stared down at his hands with a lot of frustration. She was tempted to go over and comfort him, but Madam had already reached his side.
"Are you alright Harry?" asked Madam as she pulled his head up, and moved his chin up. She inspected his face, and then cast several spells on Harry. After a couple moments she calmed down her inspection. "Harry, I'm terribly sorry. It's been such a long time, since I've treated a patient like you, it slipped my mind about the possible side effects. I apologize about being ill prepared."
Harry nodded before replying, "It's fine Madam. Thank you for treating me."
Madam gave Harry a smile with glossy eyes, and then she responded, "You poor child…."
Madam then whispered a few things that Lily couldn't hear, and she watched the stone cold face of Harry's face return. He glanced over at Lily, but didn't say anything. Madam then turned around, and spoke a bit more loudly, "Harry, as of now you are completely healed, but I would recommend finding someone to share that dark memory with. To avoid it haunting you again in the future. It is unhealthy to keep emotions bottled up."
Lily remained silent as she felt a bit guilty for intruding on Harry's rather personal life. When the only thing she'd done was growl at him for taking her husband's stance on the Firebolt. Hell, she didn't even remember introducing herself. She felt very uncomfortable, and cursed James for his stupid idiocy.
"So can I go?"
Lily looked over at Madam for an answer, and watched her nod her head. When she turned back to look at Harry he was gone. Lily blinked and noticed that his wand alongside his other stuff had disappeared with him. Lily stood up from the bed, and she looked around frantically, "Where the bloody hell did he go?"

CUT! THAT'S A WRAP!
OKAY FIRST I WANTED TO EXPLAIN ONE QUICK POINT. HARRY CAN DO WANDLESS MAGIC BUT IT ISN'T MUCH. HE WON'T BE CASTING ARRESTO MOMENTUM WITH ONE FINGER LIKE DUMBLEDORE, BUT HE CAN CAST A FEW SIMPLE SPELLS. IN MY STORY ONE SPELL HE IS VERY TALENTED AT IS THE SUMMONING SPELL. HENCE IS WHY HE CAN SUMMON HIS WAND LIKE HE DOES. SO DON'T EXPECT TO SEE A LOT OF WANDLESS MAGIC, JUST A BIT HERE AND THERE.
SORRY IF THE STORY FELT A BIT REPETITIVE AT HE BEGINNING, BUT I WANTED TO WRITE THINGS IN LILY'S POV. THERE WILL BE A LOT OF THAT AS HER UNRAVELING THE MYSTERY OF HARRY EVANS IS A BIG POINT IN THE STORY!
