Prologue

            Lilly Evans wanted to vomit.  Not so much because of the child growing within her, but because of what the child was.  This child was the child of a death eater.  She had refused countless times to listen to Severus' reasoning, or to her best friend Narcissa's either for that matter.  Lilly couldn't believe Narcissa, she had agreed to marry Lucius, Lucius was a death eater, just like her Severus! 

            It had been three weeks since Lilly had ended her relationship with Severus, and hadn't talked to him since, a feat which was possible due to their different houses.  Tomorrow night was her first date with James Potter, the heartthrob of Hogwarts.  James had been pursuing her for years, and in light of her breakup with Severus, had asked her to Hogsmade this weekend.  Today was the beginning of the rest of her life, today she would move on from Severus and this child they had inadvertently created.

            Lilly knew there was no way she would be able to carry this child to term.  For starters, she wasn't married, and she wanted a clean break from Severus.  Not to mention the fact that this child, as a child of a death eater, would be sought out by the dark lord, and Lilly wanted nothing to do with the dark lord.  Today, Lilly would make her way to the ministry medical center, and the child within her would be given to another.  Another woman would carry her child to term, and raise it.  Lilly was fine with it.  She wanted nothing to do with the child of a death eater.
