James smiled at his wife.
"He survived Lils. Our little boy is survived"he said hugging her, tears streaming down his face.
"Yes, he did." she murmured, wiping her tears.
"He is going to be okay, right?"she asked looking down to see her baby closer.
James looked pained. He hoped his would be alright, but he didn't know for sure. He couldn't know the future.
"I hope so, my love,I hope so."he whispered in her ear, tightening his grip on her.
"Harry will be more than five."
Both of them turned around startled. They came face to face with an older looking Lily.
"How do you know so?"Lily asked. It was strange. She was looking at herself. Well an older version of herself, but...
"I know because it happened already. I have seen it."she heard the other answer in her own voice. How was it possible?
James didn't know what to believe anymore. He knew for certain that they should be dead, but now he was realising...
"You are dead James"the older Lily said." But in a different way. You will be given a choice. A choice about your future. Whatever you choose will be the right thing. Everything is not written yet. Your story is a new one in the files. And I am here yo give it to you. "
Lily looks at James and both ask at the sane time
"What choice?"
The older Lily smiles and says
"You could stay and watch over Harry, after you become a bit more knowledgeable about this world you have entered or you can leave things to write themselves and you go at one of our relocation points. From there we will see where you will live from now on."
Lily said without hesitation,
"I am staying with my baby" followed by James only seconds later.
The woman smiled. She had known they would choose the right thing. Exactly as she was hoping. Now she could help future would be bright for the two parents and the baby.
"Come with me then. We have done things to clear up."she said and exited the room.
..
James laughed
"I didn't even notice that we were in some kind of room. I thought that we were still at our house."
From the corner a shadow smiled and disappeared. The future was bright indeed.
