This
is the fourth and final part of my Firewings series. I'll write more stuff about Firewings if
I get positive reviews (hint, hint).
Disclaimer:
These characters (excluding the ones I created) belong to J.K. Rowling. Ginger belongs to herself. Elisabeth belongs to herself. Matt belongs partly to me and partly to
himself. And finally, Catrina
belongs to me, but also to herself. That doesn't really make any sense because she is me.
On with the
story………….
AVADA KEDAVRA
(In case you can't tell, Lily and James die in this part.)
Sirius and Catrina welcomed Lily and James
with open arms. By this time
Catrina had had her baby, a boy named Matthew. Lily stayed at home and helped with
Matt. James went to work for the
Ministry with Sirius.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
After 6 months back in England, Lily and
James got their own house in Godric's Hollow. Sirius and Catrina came over nearly
every day, and Remus, Ginger, Peter, and Elisabeth about once every 2
weeks.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Almost 2 years after they got back to
England, Lily found out she was pregnant. Everyone was visiting when she told them the good news.
"Oh my God! Lily you are SO lucky!"
said Ginger.
"It's going to be a lot of work," said
Catrina, quieting little Matt.
"I know. But a baby is worth all the work," said
Lily. "Besides, James is going to
help with the baby, too."
"Of course I will, Lil. I'm sure I'll be a great father," said
James.
"Do you want a boy or a girl, James?"
asked Elisabeth.
"I don't care if it's a boy or girl. I just want a healthy baby," said
James.
"Lil, do you have any names picked out
yet?" inquired Ginger.
"Harry, Ryan, Justin, or Jack if it's a
boy. Theresa, Nicole, Elise, or
Melissa if it's a girl," said Lily.
"Oh, those are the cutest names!"
exclaimed Elisabeth.
"When is the baby due?" asked
Catrina.
"In about 2 months," said Lily.
"Wow. Are you all ready to go if it comes
early?" asked Ginger.
"Yeah," said Lily.
"Everybody, dinner is ready!" yelled James
from the kitchen.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
On the 30th of July, Lily
checked into the hospital. At
midnight, she finally had her baby. Lily and James decided to name the little
boy Harry. Sirius and Catrina were
made godfather and godmother, respectively.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
They had two happy months together, but
then, Lord Voldemort had decided to go after them. They fled to another part of England,
but he found them there. They had
to keep on the move so he wouldn't find them.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Finally, James decided that they had to
find a Secret Keeper so they could live in peace. He didn't want his son to be raised on
the run. He wanted Harry to have a
normal childhood in their home in Godric's Hollow. So he choose Sirius, naturally. But nearly everyone who knew them,
advised against it, even Sirius himself.
Eventually, he was convinced to switch it
to Peter. Little did anyone know
that Peter was in league with Voldemort.
Two days after the spell was preformed,
Peter went to Voldemort. He let out
the secret of where the Potters were hiding. Voldemort went to their house on that
dark, dreary, Halloween night.
Lily and James had been putting little
Harry to bed when he arrived at their house.
"POTTER! Your death has come!" yelled Voldemort,
entering the house.
"Lily, take Harry and run," said
James.
"POTTER! Where are you? Come out! This hiding is simply prolonging your
death," said Voldemort, laughing evilly.
"Go! You and Harry can escape. You can live. Harry will rid
the world of this evil when he is grown. You must go! NOW!" said James,
urgently, tears streaming down his cheeks.
"All right, I'll go," said Lily.
Just then, Voldemort burst through the
door. "Avada Kedavra"
"NNNNNNNOOOOOOO!!!!!!! JAMES!" screamed
Lily, through her tears.
Voldemort turned to Lily. "You, beautiful girl, come away with
me. You and I, we could rule the
world. We could be the perfect king
and queen," said Voldemort.
"NEVER! I'll never go near you. You fiend, you monster, you evil
creature. Get away from me!" Lily
yelled. She took Harry and
ran.
"Avada Kedavra"
"No!" she screamed as she fell, dying,
next to James. Little Harry started
to bawl in his mother's arms.
Then Voldemort went to kill Harry. "Avada Kedavra!"
The curse rebounded off the innocent
child, nearly killing it's originator. Voldemort was left nearly dead, while Harry had only a thin,
lightning-shaped scar on his forehead. Voldemort fled.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Some hours later, Sirius had found the
tiny baby in his dead mother's arms. "It's all right, Harry. You'll just come to live with your godmother and me. We'll be sure to raise you right," said
Sirius, really just to himself.
"Hello, Sirius. I'll be taking Harry with me," said
Hagrid, who had just appeared.
"But why? I'm his godfather!" said Sirius.
"Dumbledore's orders," said Hagrid,
grimly. "He's to live with his aunt
and uncle."
"But they're
MUGGLE! They
won't raise him in wizarding ways," said Sirius, rather angrily.
"I know that, Sirius. But, my orders come directly from
Dumbledore, himself," said Hagrid.
There was a long pause before Sirius
spoke, "All right. Come with
me. You can take my motor-bike,"
said Sirius, somewhat reluctantly.
Hagrid took the bike and flew away to the
house on Privet Drive. Where Harry
would spend the next 10 years, unknowing of his fame and fortune. Also unknowing of the way his parents
really died and how he destroyed the greatest evil for 100 years.
