A/N:- haha, sorry, I had to do that. I'm sorry to all my readers who think I'm mean, I just HAD to do that, as I said earlier. Well, this is the rest of what happened on that fateful night, I think. Keep reading, Reviewing and I'll put the next few chapters up during the weekend
"Stand down and let us get to the child." Said the figure in the front. Sirius and Remus held their wands ready to battle.
"You'll have to get through us first." Sirius said. The figures entered the house and raised their wands ready to fight.
"James!" Remus shouted as a warning. Remus waved his wand and said a curse. A blue light shot out the end of the wand and struck the deatheater. Sirius started fighting with the deatheaters as well. The sound of Lily's screaming filled the house. There was a thumping on the stairs as April came running down the stairs quickly. She almost stumbled on the last steps and crashed into the wall at the bottom of the stairs. She put her hand against the wall to steady herself and looked at the door. Peter was running out of the Living room and April could have sworn he smiled but dismissed it as next moment he looked terrified.
"Oh, no." April said. Sirius turned to look at April quickly.
"Tell James." He said before falling to a spell. April was about to run to his side but ducked out of the way of a spell. A hole was blasted in the wall where her head was seconds previously. Plaster and paint covered April and she held her arm up to protect herself. April looked at Sirius as he moved a hand slowly to his head.
"Sirius!" April said worriedly.
"April go upstairs!" Remus shouted at her. April stared at Sirius worriedly before she felt a hand on her back. April turned to see Peter pulling her to her feet.
"Go!" he said. He pushed her up the stairs with all his strength.
"But what about-" April was nearly hit by a curse and she fell to the floor with her hands over her head. She looked up and turned after a few seconds and started towards Remus to help him fight, she did know more spells then Remus did, after all.
"Go April." Remus said as he ducked a jet of black light. Peter got his own wand out and April ran up the stairs. She stumbled over a few and soon crashed through the door of Lily's bedroom.
"What's going on?" James asked from Lily's bed seeing April suddenly covered in plaster and dust. Mrs. Chang was at Lily's legs holding a towel.
"Colloportus" April said whipping her wand out and locking the door. She looked around the room frantically.
"April." Lily screamed through gritted teeth. April turned to Lily as she let out another scream of pain.
"Just give birth to that damn baby then get out of here." April said. Mrs. Potter looked at April and got eye contact with her. She immediately understood and Disapparated.
"Come on Lily. One last push." Mrs. Chang said encouragingly. Lily gave one last push and another voice filled the room. The high pitched crying of a baby. "Come Lily, once more." James was biting his lip to try and stop the pain coming from the hand that Lily held. His expression softened as the baby's screaming filled the room. April ran to Mrs. Chang's side, all thoughts of the battle downstairs forgotten. April gave a smile and was eager to help as Mrs. Chang pulled the baby out and cut the umbilical cord.
Sirius shot out one more spell from his wand as he felt his arm giving way. He had heard it snap earlier and it was damn painful.
"Crucio!" shouted a deatheater. Remus went down beside Sirius in pain. His body twitched as the curse took control of his body. In anger Sirius sent another curse at a deatheater, who fell and was replaced by another.
"Move out of the way." Came an impatient voice. The deatheaters moved away and Remus stopped twitching and lay on the floor breathing heavily. Sirius sat up and held his wand tightly in his good hand. In front of him stood Voldemort. He looked down at Remus and Sirius.
"The werewolf." He said. "Still fighting are we? Well, I should put an end to your suffering." Voldemort pulled his wand out. A baby's screaming cry filled the house and Voldemort smiled. "It's your lucky day werewolf." Voldemort stepped over Remus and Sirius and headed for the stairs. Peter stood in a petrified terror as Voldemort gave him a single look and started up the stairs.
Mrs. Chang handed the baby to April to hold for a few moments as she finished helping Lily with the last needs of a pregnant woman.
"He's so beautiful." April said smiling. Lily was recovering her breath and she lay defeated on the bed. James helped her sit up as April went to Lily's side and held the baby boy gently in her arms. April carefully handed him to Lily and then frowned. Lily couldn't say anything. All she could do was smile, tiredly and she gently stroked the baby's nose. James grinned as he held the baby's tiny hand.
"It's a boy." James said happily.
"It's too quiet." April said. She got her wand out and went to the door. The lights immediately went off and everyone looked at April.
"What is happening?" Mrs. Chang asked. April was about to answer when the door shattered and April was thrown backward against the foot of the bed. She opened her mouth in pain as her back hit the bed frame. A figure stood in the doorway. Voldemort stood in the doorway. James and Mrs. Chang both immediately withdrew their wands. James got to his feet and stood next to Mrs. Chang.
"Voldemort." Lily gasped. She held the baby closer to her as it started crying again.
"The baby is born." Voldemort said. "Hand him to me now or die." He said.
"Never." James growled at him.
"Stupid boy." Voldemort said. He waved his wand and Mrs. Chang and James flew to the sides of the room. Mrs. Chang hit the wardrobe while James crashed into a chest of drawers.
"James!" Lily gasped in worry and fear.
"Impedimenta." April shouted. The spell struck Voldemort but it didn't effect him. "Stupefy!" She shouted more desperately. This didn't effect him either. April went through all the spells she knew but none of them effected Voldemort in any way. He walked up to her and with inhuman strength picked her up and threw her behind him.
"April!" Lily stared at Voldemort coming towards her. She didn't have any strength to fight and her wand was still downstairs. "James!" Lily said for help. She rocked her son slightly in her arms to try and calm him but he couldn't be comforted.
"Step away from her Tom." Came a slightly dangerous whispery voice. Voldemort turned and saw Dumbledore standing behind him. Dumbledore looked quite threatening in the shadow and gloom of the room. Mrs. Potter suddenly appeared and ran to April to help her up as she was the nearest.
"Never, I want this child dead." Voldemort spat. He turned back to Lily but a large Gold and red Phoenix was perched on Lily's shoulder. Lily had gone pale and looked quite ill.
"Tom get out of this house." Dumbledore said threateningly. "I don't want to fight in front of the baby but I will if I have to." Dumbledore held his delicate wand out and held it threateningly at Voldemort. Voldemort looked from Dumbledore to Lily and back to Dumbledore again, the only sound that broke the silence was the crying of the baby. Voldemort let out an angry, frustrated shout before disappearing with a crack. The lights came back on and the baby stopped crying. Lily was shaking like a leaf and was holding her baby tightly against her chest. James got up slowly and painfully from the damaged chest of drawers and stumbled to the bed.
"Lily, it's alright. He's gone." James said. He sounded like he was in a great deal of pain and he winced as he moved. Lily Couldn't stop sobbing, she felt tears falling over her cheeks. She let James hold her tightly and try to comfort her. Fawkes flew to Dumbledore's shoulder and nipped his ear. Dumbledore let out a smile as everyone got to their feet painfully.
"Congratulations Lily on giving birth to a son." Dumbledore said. "May I enquire as to what you're going to call him?" Lily was slightly stunned at this question and looked at James. James smiled slightly.
"I think Harry." James said. He looked at Lily for her approval. She smiled and nodded.
"Harry Potter." Lily said. Fawkes let out a quick song and flew out of the room.
"Well, I must congratulate all of you on a job well done tonight, of course now that we know Voldemort is after Harry, we will need to increase protection around the house." Dumbledore said. "Of course you two, Lily, James, may go about your normal lives but you must practice, in the words of Alastor Moody, constant vigilance" April mouthed the words as Dumbledore said this. She had heard Moody say this enough times. Lily let out a smirk as she saw this. "I can have some wizards and witches here to keep watch on your house for a few days until we have the house repaired and ready for extensive spellwork. It is also, nearly the end of the school term so I will have the school teachers down to cast some spells and charms as well." Dumbledore said with a slight frown. This was suddenly turned upside down as he smiled again. "Mean while I think it best that I leave and give you some time with your baby. Mrs. Chang, please could you instruct Lily on being a mother and may I be the first to congratulate your daughter, Lee, at becoming head girl" Dumbledore said with a smile, Mrs. Chang stared in shock
"She-"
"I assure you she is up for the job but please refrain from telling her until she receives her letter." Dumbledore said. Fawkes flew back into the room and Dumbledore held onto Fawkes' tail and they both disappeared in a sprinkling of gold and red sparks. Sirius and Remus wandered into the room slightly dazed.
"What happened?" Sirius asked. April went straight to him and put her arms around him tightly.
"You're alright." She said relieved. He gave her a smile and she kissed him deeply.
"Not in front of Harry, please" James said to them. April and Sirius pulled away quickly and April gave them a slightly nervous smile.
"Sorry." She said. Lily smiled as Mrs. Chang went to her assistance as Harry was starting to cry quietly.
A/N:- ok, I think that was the third time they escaped Voldemort, I was a bit weird when I wrote this so it might be a bit wrong, but I'm pretty sure that was the third time they've escaped
