PART-1 (This story is based on seven worlds, the first part describing the first one. The other parts will come after this one is finished.)
Chapter 8:
"I am Harry Potter!"
Professor McGonagall sat down, she held her head in her hands.
"How? How is this possible?" She whispered. "Isn't this...isn't your baby one year...how ?"
She was stuttering.
"Lily?" She asked. "Tell me this is not real, Mr. Potter, tell me this is a prank!"
"No." Lily sat down with her. "This is not a prank, this is someone, we just met a few hours ago!"
"Professor?" James sat down with her, "We will explain everything to you...n=but later!"
"But right now," Sirius interjected. "We have to take Harry and Lily away, somewhere else, somewhere safe!"
McGonagall looked at Harry.
"Him?" She pointed towards the seventeen year old Harry.
"No." Harry shook his head, "Not me! The baby!" he pointed towards the nursery.
"What happened?" She asked. "But why do we have to do that?"
"Voldemort's coming..." Lily whispered.
Professor McGonagall gasped.
"So...where are we going to take Lily and the baby?" She asked him.
"Hogwarts." Harry said promptly. "It is the safest place they can go!"
"Hogwarts," She murmured. "Hogwarts..."
Lily and James got up, and Sirius nodded towards the nursery as he heard the baby cry.
"So, let's start packing." James said, "McGonagall, you take Harry and Lily. And keep them safe."
"But?" Lily said.
James wasn't listening, he was now ruffling through things. He was looking for all the important things Lily and Baby Harry would require. Harry was still sitting with McGonagall. He was in deep thought.
"Jamie?" Lily came into the room, James was throwing the baby's stuff into bags.
"Hmm?" He was listening, he was rummaging through stuff.
"James!" She snatched the bag out of her hands. "James! Listen to me!"
"What?" He turned, looking exasperatedly. His eyes had dark rims, Lily felt his eyes was drowning with sadness, she understood what he was feeling. He knew what was coming.
"You can't do this to us!" She whispered.
"I can't just let Harry to be the bait for us!" He held her arms, and slightly shook them. "No, I can't do this, How can I let him?"
"But...you!" She whispered.
"I'll be fine!" He looked away.
"No, you won't!" Her eyes reflected through shiny tears, she fiercely wiped it away, as a single tear rolled down.
"But you will be!" He held her face in hands, "Harry will be safe. And that is all I ever want."
He kissed her forehead gently. He couldn't bear to look at her. He was going in battle, and he didn't know if he would come out alive form it.
"Time to go!" Sirius knocked on the door.
James let go of her. And turned away. Lily stood there for a few moments, A few more tears splashed down on her hands, she wiped them off again. She had work to do.
