Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters except Abi, Nicole, Rachael,
and Betty and Bob Evans. However, I copied the deaths of Lily and James
Potter word for word from the book, which of course belongs to JK Rowling.
A/N: This isn't going to be the last chapter even if it seems like it… just be a good person and review
Chapter 18: Harry James Potter
**********************************
"Yes!" she said finally. She said she would never leave him, right? She just couldn't say no. James gave a yell of joy and hugged her super tight.
The news of the soon to be married couple James and Lily spread quickly throughout the school. Everybody was happy that they would be getting married.
Graduation was a very solemn but happy occasion (especially for the graduates). They were dressed in appropriate robes but instead of the traditional muggle caps, they had on special wizards hats, which were much, more exciting. When the student's name was called, the hat would shout and holler and clap when they walked up to receive their wizard diplomas.
After that excellent occasion they joined the rest of the school in the last feast of the year. This wasn't such a happy occasion, when they learned that Slytherin had won the house cup again. But that was ok, when Slytherin was announced by Dumbledore, most of everybody (including the Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs) booed and hissed.
When they left Hogwarts for the last time, it was traditional to take the boats back to the train, just like the first years take the boats on their first time to Hogwarts. Lily got her last glimpse of Hogwarts, with its huge towers. She felt kind of sad, but then she remembered that James would be with her forever.
A couple years later, Lily was holding a baby that was (in her opinion) beautiful in everyway. Under a wild tuft of black hair was a soft face with strikingly brilliant green eyes, just like hers. This baby was called Harry James Potter. She held him close to her body and she could almost feel his little heart against hers. She would never let this baby go, not ever. But now it was getting very dark, and clearly Harry was getting very tired.
Just then James burst in through the door and settled down in this chair, clearly looking exhausted.
"How was work at the ministry, honey?" Lily asked as she rocked Harry.
James sighed. "It's been ok… but I mean you'd think that people these days don't have any brains any more! I just recently caught these retarded people flyin' on their broomsticks in broad daylight! I just need a break. I'm getting tired…" He yawned and then looked at Lily's little bundle. "So, how's Harry doing today?"
"He's getting a little fussy," answered Lily, smiling down at her baby. "But that's ok. He's our little angel. Actually I should put him to bed soon."
James got up and took Harry from Lily and swung him around. "Whee!" he said and Harry began to giggle.
"James! Be careful, he might be scared!" cried Lily.
"Ahh don't worry. Harry will be a good flier just like his daddy," replied James before he set him back in Lily's arms. Lily took the baby up to his room and James followed. Lily put him in his cradle and began to rock him back in forth, lulling him to sleep by singing him a lullaby.
James settled himself in a different chair and began to droop off to sleep just by listening to Lily's angelic voice. When Harry finally fell asleep Lily awaked James, and they both went into their bedroom to go to bed.
"Goodnight, Lily," said James.
"Goodnight, James," responded Lily, and with a brief kiss they sank into the bed to finally get some sleep.
James fell asleep in an instant. However, Lily stayed awake, watching the ceiling and just thinking. It was so peaceful, now. It was just the way she wanted it, having a husband like James, and having a child. She was just about to drift off to sleep, too, when a sound jolted her to her senses. She could hear something out in the front yard, footsteps…
She crept up and looked out the window of their second story bedroom and she saw a dark figure, moving swiftly along the sidewalk toward the door. A wave of panic swept through her. Who was this person? She rushed back to the bed and shook James awake.
"James!" she whispered urgently. "James! Someone's outside!"
"Mmm?" he said, rubbing his eyes. When he finally could see clearly he could see that his wife was terrified. "Go get Harry," he said. Lily quickly retrieved Harry and rushed back to the bedroom, clutching him tightly.
"Do you think it's – it's you-know-who?" she whispered.
"Come on," said James shortly. They crept down the stairs and James walked a little further, looking through the window. He jerked back quickly. "Lily, take Harry and go! It's him! Go! Run! I'll hold him off-"
"Wait James," whispered Lily. She gave him another kiss – savoring the sweetness, because somehow she had a feeling that this was the last time she would see him. She let go and was about to dash up the stairs, but now Lily didn't have time to run. She flattened herself to the wall when the door burst open and Voldemort came in with his cruel eyes and white skin. He didn't hesitate to get the job over with.
"Avada Kedavra!" he screamed and James fell to the floor.
Lily screamed like she had never screamed in her life. She accidentally dropped Harry who began to cry. James was dead! James was dead! She began to sob hysterically. Voldemort whipped around and caught sight of Harry on the floor. He advanced on Harry but Lily stepped in front. Her mother had died for her, right? It was her turn now. She almost wanted to die – to see James again in heaven – she wanted Harry to make it.
"Not Harry! Not Harry! Please – I'll do anything!" she cried, shielding the baby from view.
"Stand aside!" said Voldemort cruelly. "Stand aside girl!"
"Not Harry, not Harry, please not Harry!" she screamed again.
"Stand aside, you silly girl… stand aside, now…" he repeated again.
"Not Harry! Please no, take me, kill me instead! Not Harry! Please have mercy! Have mercy-"
But a sudden rushing sound drowned out her cries and Voldemort screamed, "Avada Kedavra!"
Lily's last few seconds of life seemed like hours. She thought of her mother, dying for her… and now her… she was dying… her only hope was that Harry would make it… Harry would survive…
She could hear herself screaming… yet that was in the distance… she could see a light… a beautiful, golden light… shimmering… she had to get to it…
All to soon these seconds were over and Lily left the world.
