First attempt at somewhat more serious writing. H/Hr probably. Other pairings undecided. No planned bashing, but I will look at some characters critically. Looking at you Dubledore. Maybe Ron as well. Just a bit. Planned somewhat 7 years but not very detailed. May feature one or two same gender relationships mostly in background, both f/f and m/m. Undecided for now. Would highly appreciate any feedback i haven't written anything since 2010. And I don't have beta. And I'm not native speaker, i had never read books but I plan to I swear. I did read a ton of fanfic and am pretty sure I have seen movies some years ago. Enjoy.
Harry was crying. It was late Halloween evening and Lily and James were walking to the crib. "It´s okay baby. Mummy and Daddy are here." she said as she picked him up. Harry was unusually restless today. He finally fell asleep less then hour ago and she and James were discussing how things were outside they little hiding place in Godric's Hollow.
''It isn't looking good Lily. Dumbledore is convinced that he can't defeat him. He really believes that it has to be done by Harry or Neville.'' said James sitting in a sofa holding a cup of tea. "He refuses to go to major offensive because of it. He didn't say it but I think he is afraid. He wouldn't budge no matter what I, Sirius and Filius say to him." Lily was furious "What does he want? Wait few years so Magical Britain will be in shambles? Send 11 years old Harry and Neville to fight one of most powerful wizards alive, with army of death eaters in disposal?" she hissed. "He is uncertain what to do. He brushed us of and still plans to fight… just not Voldemort. He wants to go after death eaters. Convince them to turn to the light ideally." he couldn't contain irritation in his voice. "Minerva, Remus and few others are uncertain, but most of order will do as he wants without question." Lily sat next to him talking his hand to hers and giving little squeeze. "We should just leave. Go to America or Australia… just somewhere much safer." she said quietly. "I wish we could, but if Dumbledore is right Voldemord might win and it could be dangerous everywhere." he put his now empty cup down on the table. He pulled her to him and gave her small kiss on the cheek. "We will come up with something. Maybe we could capture him until boys are adults." he sighed "You should take Harry and go muggle cut all contact. Even if we killed him death eaters will be dangerous years to come." Lily turned on his lap and delivered surprisingly strong punch to his shoulder. "Not this again. We talked about this, I'm not leaving you all alone." He smiled and leaned forward kissing her. "I love you." After while they lips separated. "I love you too." They stayed there for a while just quietly enjoying each other. After few minutes, or maybe an hour they heard Harry.
Harry soon laughed at James antics pulling a strand of Lily's hair, whatever nightmare he had forgotten, Lily smiling as well.
They did not heard quiet opening of the front door. They didn't have any warning of the incoming threat until it was before the door where laughter could be heard. They couldn't do anything their wands left on the table in the living room. James was blasted to the wall pieces of the door flying with him. Lily gasped, Harry started crying, qietly. "I have to say I was expecting more" Lord Voldemort said, smoothly walking trough the now empty doorway. "Really after all the problems you caused me, this couldn't be easier. Only protected by fidelius. Such simple spell." He smiled, red eyes shining in the dark room. "Of course I won't make it easy for you. You will beg for dead after I will be done with you and your husband." He spat. His voice was quiet now, almost a whisper. "Such small thing destined to defeat me. Just a child."
"Please" Lily sobbed "please not Harry, I will do anything, please." He smiled. "Kneel before your lord." She fell on her knees, Harry in her hands. He raised his wand."Avada Kedavra." Flash of green. Scream. James fell on the floor unmoving. "Ts, such an annoyance always getting in the way. Crucio!" Lily fell on the floor screaming, little Harry falling from her arms. Voldemort stoped curse after few seconds, sending Lily to the wall.
Lily was desperate. She was tired. Every part of her body was in agony. She heard ringing sound in her ears. She couldn't find strength to move. That monster was looking at her saying something. She could see flash of light from his wand striking her to the chest. She didn't feel anything. The monster smiled and turned to her baby. He was speaking again. She needed to stop him. She couldn't move. She wanted to close her eyes, feeling so tired but she forced them to remain open. She could see flash of green hitting her son. She screamed. Then flash of green rebounced. Clothes of Voldemort laid scattered, part of roof and wall destroyed. She head scream of agony and saw shadow of that monster escaping. Slowly she crawled to her baby. He was crying and reaching for her. He was alive. He will be all right. She will make sure. There was sound of motorcycle in the distance. She curled around her baby hugging him to herself. The darkness took her.
