A/N: I just love guessing what'll happen in the 7th book and how Harry'll defeat Voldemort…so here's a fic about just that, but I PROMISE you this is WAY different!!!! It's actually really sad…and OotP spoilers!!!

I got really excited after reading some of interviews with JK and came up with this, though I don't think this is in anyway the way it's gonna happen…it's just what my crazy idea came out with all the clues. ^_^

Harry shut his eyes tightly when he heard the door opening. He did not move as he heard her footsteps, and didn't look up when he heard her halt close to the armchair he sat on.



"James?" she said in a very surprised voice.

Without realizing it, Harry's head snapped up, looking at her with so much longing and love that it hurt. He looked into her eyes, feeling his burn as he watched those beautiful emerald eyes fill up with understanding and tears…she recognized him.

"You…you're Harry aren't you?" she said quietly tears running down her cheeks, and Harry noticed they were happy tears.

"Yes…mom."

Before he knew it, Lily had her arms wrapped around him, crying softly and caressing his hair. Harry couldn't help himself but to hold her tight and it only took seconds for hot tears to run down his own cheeks. There he sat in his mothers' embrace for the first time in his life and he had never felt happier and so sad in his whole life.

"You're so handsome…and strong," Lily said after a while, "I can't be more proud and relieved…you made it!"

"Yeah, thanks to you," Harry said his throat starting to burn again.

"I'm so sorry, so so sorry!" Harry felt her tears as they dropped on his cheeks, "I only wish I was there, I wish I could've taken care of you…"

"How—how did u know?" Harry pulled away a little so he could see his mother.

"I saw it in your eyes, I knew I wasn't there…neither was James…I just wish we could've been there for you, it's such a cruel world out there. Hardest thing is growing up and living in it…I wish I could've been there to help you through it all!" Lily said her eyes full of pain, "Does he still hunt you?"

"Yes…he is even stronger now!" Harry said, "But I've managed to escape from him so many times sometimes I think I must be dreaming!"

"How can I help?" it was like his mom totally understood everything.

"Dombledor told me to come here so I will find out about something…but he told me that I could not change what happened to you and dad…because then I'd be jeopardizing many other lives! But mom, I won't sit by and let you leave me alone…again!"

"But you will Harry…you're my son and I know you will, because you'd never put your needs before other people's lives!" Lily said, "Dombledor knows and that's why he sent you here…he knows your stronger than most people, you're so much like your father!"



Just then Harry heard the door open one more time, but this time with the footsteps came the warm voice of his fathers baby talking to a mumbling baby. Things seem to go too fast for Harry…hardly giving him time to enjoy being held by his parents, to talk to them and yet even when the sun had disappeared Harry had not discovered something that would change him and this fight with Voldemort. Harry was frightened as the night became darker and darker knowing what was to come.

All too soon came the crash on the door and he saw the panic on his parents' faces…but fear wasn't there.

"You three have to go!!!" James yelled out to them, "I'm gonna stall him…go and hide!"

"NO!!! I won't dad…I'm gonna help!" Harry said getting up looking determined.

"Harry, this isn't your time…you have no right to change history…what is supposed to happen always will…I'm ready to die fighting, it's something I have to do, but you have to keep going because you're the world's last hope!!! Harry they need you, you'll have your chance, your fight when its time…but this isn't it!!! Go on with your mom then, you're hear son to discover something and save the world with that, we can't risk you getting hurt!" James pulled Harry close for a brief hug and kissed his forehead, "Just remember that I'll always love you, but never risk innocent lives for anything…even the people you love most!"

With that his dad left him his mom and the baby and went to the living room, Harry using every last piece of strength he had to keep himself from following him, watched his father walking away so gallantly! His mother held the baby in one hand and his hand in the other as she began to run up the stairs of their exotic mansion. She practically flew down the hall to the last room on the left end, still holding Harry's hand as tight as she could.

Again time seemed to fast-forward for Harry and before he knew it Voldemort ugly face had made it's way upstairs. A part of Harry was relieved that for once his cruel red eyes weren't on him, as he lay hidden under the baby bed, but the burning in his heart wanted him to get out and start hexing Voldemort like crazy…before his mother was gone…forever! For a second Harry was surprised to feel burning tears tickling down his cheeks, with every fiber of strength he watched mournfully as his mother begged with Voldemort, and had to stuff his fist in his mouth to keep his screams silent when he saw the flash of green light.

Shaking uncontrollably he watched his mothers' fall to the ground, her beautiful face lifeless, but then Harry noticed something that sent a whole new set of shivers down his spine. Though his mother's eyes were empty, her face had a strange expression on it, not fear, or anger…not at all what he had expected…there was a small smile, a smile that said one word to Harry: hope!

It was that moment that it hit Harry, he was here to make SURE his parent's sacrifice wouldn't be in vain, and for the first time Harry's head was clear…that's how he was able to notice a small purple mist, tears running down his cheeks, Harry reached for it.
