Disclaimer: The world of Potter belongs to the one and only Joanne Kathleen Rowling. I should give her some virtual cookies.

Lily had soon settled into her Muggle life now. She ignored the fact that Petunia gave her the ugliest look humanly possible every time they came within a mile of each other.

She had been receiving lots of news about the wizarding world from her friends. The bits she was interested about were the Madam Malkins sale and the bits about Voldemort. Obviously it killed her to hear about so many people dying and being injured, but she wanted to know. She tried not to think about it…but what if her family got attacked? She shook the thought out of her head and began to think about the dream she kept having, and again the same questions came into her head

Who's Harry and what's with the green lights?!

At Potter Manor, Sirius, Remus and Peter were all laughing hysterically at James. Sirius thought it would be amusing to poor freezing Gillywater all over James at 12 o'clock in the afternoon. Normally Sirius would still be asleep but he got up extra early and told Remus and Peter to come round (after checking with Mrs Potter first). To the Marauders amusement, James had ran after Sirius with nothing but his boxers on and a yellow and blue spotty night cap. ("To keep my extremely sexy hair in place!" James often said.)

"PRONGS WATCH OUR FOR THE -!" Remus yelled, hiding his amusement.

WHACK.

"Door," Remus finished, gasping for breath.

"Did you have a nice beauty sleep, Jamie-poo?" Sirius hiccupped and yanked James to his feet.

"You know, Paddy," Sirius snorted at his new nickname and raised an eyebrow. "I think you fancy yourself so much, you must snog your mirror for practise."

James chuckled at his own joke.

That chuckle turned into a laugh.

This turned into a cackle.

Then the cackle turned into hysterics.

Soon he was rolling around on the floor, legs flailing every where and laughing boisterously.

The other Marauders looked worried.

"I think my dear Marauders; our friend is losing his head." Remus said.

"Can I have his broom?!" Sirius asked hopefully.

Peter just stared uneasily.

Eventually, James stopped laughing enough to pick himself up and walk out the room calmly.

That night Peter and Remus stayed over at Potter Manor. They were all sleeping in James' room. (It was big enough for the whole of Gryffindor house to sleep in)

They bounced into bed and began to talk loudly when they heard a scream from downstairs.

They picked up their wands and ran down to the living room.

They saw 4 masked Death Eaters stood there with their wands out.

James stunned one; Sirius another; Remus another one and Peter, rather hesitantly, another Death Eater.

What James and Sirius saw next made them gasp with terror.

Melissa Potter was lying dead on the floor.

Harold was unconscious.

So sorry but it had to be done, that was the way I pictured James' mum dying :(

Review please!! They make me incredibly happy :D
