One day while Lily was all alone, she heard a knock on the door. She figured it was just Sirius, coming to check on her, as James had ordered him to, being Lily was in a delicate state, being six months pregnant and all. Then making her way towards the door something came to her. Why would Sirius knock on the door? He had a key. So with this in mind Lily took out her wand.
Then she made the fatal mistake that would cost her so much, more than she would ever believe. She opened the door. Standing in the door frame was Lord Voldemort. He was grinning evilly. He shoved her to the floor. He said to her, after entering the Potters little house "You know, today is going to be the last day of your life. I will be fair and give you a chance to fight. So stand up, you silly girl."
Lily stood up. She was very fearful. Not for herself, but for her child, the child that might not live to be born. Her instincts took over. Flight or fight. She had no chance of flight, so she was forced to fight. She knew that her only chance was defense. Then Voldemort said "Crucio!" Lily felt pain like she never felt before. Just as abruptly as the pain had come it started, it had stopped. Lily hadn't remembered falling to her knees. She jumped up. She tried a Disarming spell. As she cried "Expelliarmus" Voldemort cried "Protego" so he held onto his wand. It was his turn to attack again. As Voldemort shouted "Avada Kedavra!" Lily said "Protego." Lily was thrown against the wall. She looked up and the last thing she saw was James coming into the room, and starting to fight Voldemort. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
