James and Lily Potter, were sitting around the fire place, at there homes in Godrics hollow. They were playing with there infant sun Harry, when there front door burst into pieces. "Lily, take Harry and go! It's him! Go! Run! I'll hold him of--" James grabbed Lily, and gave her a last kiss.

Look into my eyes - you will see
What you mean to me
Search your heart - search your soul
And when you find me there you'll search no more
Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for
You know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you

Lily grabbed infant Harry off the floor, and ran upstairs to his playroom. She hid he best she could. Mean while, James circled the living room, with the most evil wizard of all time. Voldemort. James shouted, "Expeliarmus!" a blue light flashed, and headed towards Voldemort, who easily stopped it.

"Fool, Impedimenta!" The curse hit James straight in the chest, slowing him down considerably. "and now you die. Avada Kedavra!" A green light filled the room.

James last words before dying were, "Lily, be safe." High pitched laughter filled the house.

Look into your heart - you will find
There's nothin' there to hide
Take me as I am - take my life
I would give it all I would sacrifice
Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for
I can't help it there's nothin' I want more
Ya know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you

Lily cowered in her hiding place. No, please no. She thought. His laugh didn't mean anything did it? Seconds passed, and a shadow filled the room. Voldemort had found her.

There's no love - like your love
And no other - could give more love
There's nowhere - unless you're there
All the time - all the way

"Stand aside, you don't have to die." Voldemort hissed to the cowering Lily.

"Not Harry, not Harry, please not Harry!" she cried.

"Stand aside, you silly girl... stand aside, now...."

"Not Harry, please no, take me instead--"

You can't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
I can't help it there's nothin' I want more
I would fight for you - I'd lie for you
Walk the wire for you - Yeah I'd die for you

"Fine, have it your way. Avada Kedavra." Lily knew it was coming, and positioned herself so when she died, she'd cover him up. A mother's last gift.

You know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you
