Lily sobbed, and as she was halfway up the stairs, she turned to look at her husband.

"I love you Lily. Let's jump." He turned to face Lord Voldemort as Lily whispered, "I love you too." And scrambled up the stairs holding Harry in her arms.

"Harry," she whispered urgently, she knew she have seconds before Voldemort burst in.

She attempted to barricade the door, and put Harry in his crib. "I love you Harry. You'll be okay. Just remember. Always take a chance, and don't be afraid to jump off the edge."

She pleaded with the Dark Lord to take her, not harm Harry, and ended with her death. But her son...little Harry James Potter, had been so loved, that he survived the killing curse.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Harry was reflecting on his life, when all of a sudden, he gripped his friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger's arms, and grabbed Ginny Weasley, his girlfriend, not caring that there was seconds before the war broke out.

"Guys?" They looked at Harry in alarm. He didn't know why he had just remembered this now, his mother last word to him...then again, he had only been one year old...

"Yeah mate?" said Ron sounding confused at Harry's outburst.

"Remember what I said, in fifth year, about having something worth fighting for?"

They nodded, and Harry continued, "Well...I've only just remembered...my Mum...when she died, she told me. Never be afraid to jump off the edge. Are you ready?"

They looked at him gravely and nodded. "I love you all. You'll be okay. I promise."

He hugged Ron and Hermione, and just as they turned to join the battle, he grabbed Ginny and kissed her passionately as his parents had done so many years ago.

She looked at him with her bright hazel eyes, looking fierce and ready, but still scared deep down. "Ginny, you nned to promise me something. Promise that, no matter what, we'll always be together. You need to stay safe."

"Are you implaying that I can't fight?" said Ginny indignantly, firing up, "Because, I'll have you know, Harry Potter, that I am not the little, insignificant little girl in the Chamber of Secrets anymore. I've grown up Harry. I can fend for myself."

"Ginny! I know. I know. But...please, Ginny. I don't want to see you hurt."

She hugged him. "I'll be fine. I promise."

He held her even closer, trying not to cry. He knew he should tell her the truth...that she might not ever see him again. That he would have to sacrafice himself to defeat Lord Voldemort.

But, just as he opened his mouth to speak, "Harry?"

He nodded

There was two different paths. One led up to the school, were the teachers were trying to barricade the entrances. The other led out to courtyard, where Death Eaters were bound to be flooding in, in a matter of seconds. He glanced at Ginny.

"Go. Ginny, I'm serious. Go." Harry gestured to the path the led up to Hogwarts, where she would, for the time being, remain safe.

Tears sparkled in her eyes. "Harry?" He looked at her.

"Ginny please. You need to be safe! I'll...I'll come too." Ron and Hermione came up to him and Ginny, and together, they set out for the school. Once they were inside, they went to the Room of Requirement. Neville and several other ex-DA members were there.

"HARRY!"

"It's Potter! It's Potter!"

"Ron!"

"Hermione!"

They greeted their friends, and told them what was happening. "Let's fight!" Colin Creevey leapt up, and hustled out the door, into the wide corridor. DA members flooded out, and on the way out, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny met up with the rest of the Weasleys, including Bill, Fleur, and Charlie. "Harry! Ron, Ginny, Hermione! Thank goodness you're alright."

They were all kissed by Mrs. Weasley, and looking behind Fred and George, they saw the rest of the Order. Remus was arguing with Tonks, frantically trying to persuade her to go home, back to baby Teddy

"Tonks, you won't be alone. Ginny'll be joining you." Harry said firmly.

Ginny's eyes flashed as she looked up at Harry. "I'll do no such thing." Mrs. Weasley looked angrily at her daughter. "Oh, no, you will not! You're going home to safety, Ginevra Weasley!"

Ginny scowled, but before she could retort, someone fell out of the potrait passage behind them.

They were shocked to find that it was the Weasley's last son, Percy. "Am I too late? I've only just found out, I--" Percy froze, obviously not expected to run into his entire family. They stared at each other for a long while, and finally, Percy broke down.

"I was a fool! I'm so sorry! I was a--a--" "Pompous, Ministry-loving, family-disowning, prat." George supplied. Percy swallowed, "Yes, I was." "Well, you can't say it fairer than that. Welcome back, Perce." Mrs. Weasley broke into sobs, and hugged her son.

They traveled in a pack up the stairs, Ginny and Tonks trying to sneak up with them. Remus and Mrs.Weasley wheeled at the same moment. "No! You're going home!" They said in unison. Ginny grimaced. "No! I want to come!"

Remus turned to Mrs. Weasley. "They can keep each other company in the Room of Requirment, how about that? That way, they'll know what's going on." Ginny's eyes flashed, but she gave a curt nod, and re-entered the Room with Tonks by her side.

A few hours later...

Harry raced to the Room of Requirement, eager to find Ron and Hermione, and Ravenclaw's diadem. He ripped open the door, to find Tonks and Ginny watching the battle from a window. When they heard the door bang open, they whirled, wands raised.

"It's only me. Can you two leave--just for a moment--so I can--err, find something?"

They beamed like Christmas had come early. Tonks raced out and Ginny tried to follow after Harry had turned his back, bujt he flung out an arm, "Wait! You are coming back, you hear me?"

Ginny stamped her foot in protest, "But Tonks--"

Harry shook his head, "Tonks is fully-trained Auror. Ginny, you're coming back. You've got to come back!"

Ginny scowled at him, and whirled to leave as Harry had asked. He trailed behind her, and she suddenly turned to face him.

"Harry? What do you say, to taking chances?

Harry knew what she was asking. If he'd let her go. If he trust her to come out alive, and risk her life for him. He took her hand. "I-I say...go on."

She nodded. "Thank you." She whispered, and was gone in a flash.

What do you say, to jumping, off the edge?

A/N: So I've decided to end it here. Sorry it's so short, but I didn't feel like going into detail again about J&L's deaths. Did you like the story, though? Review!
