It isn't true!

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, nor any of the characters in this fic….because sadly, I killed my only two off. How lucky! --
Authors Note: Hey! Wow, I'm back. Finally! I'm so terribly sorry I haven't been writing on this, I bet more than half of my Reviewers already gave up on me…I feel so terrible! Anyways, tell me what you think, and I'll greatly appreciate it. I thank the few people who e-mailed me, demanding I get another chapter done! Oh, and if you want to get me going on another chapter, hit me up on AIM: MomentiEvil or MSN BrandilynTheGreatHotmail.com , and tell me what I should do for another chapter, or any advice. Thanks! 3 me!
"I cannot believe the nerve of that Sybil," Lily sputtered as James, Harry, and herself rode down the winding Hogwarts road toward Hogsmede. "I mean, where did she have the right to ruin the end of our visit, howling such lies? I should go back there, and curse her into oblivion for what she said!"
"Lily, dear, you know that Sibyl has always been a bit off her rocker," James said consolingly to his hot-tempered wife. He patted her on the arm, and looked down at his son who was submerged in a giant Hogwarts blanket. "If you keep this up, Harry will wake up and there will be hell to pay!"
Lily snorted and stared out the window as they crossed the gates from Hogwarts to Hogsmede. I'd really like to go back, and tell that Sybil what's on my mind! Lily's mind said as she was helped out of the carriage and onto the train. Oh, but I have Harry…that's all that matters, oh…I cannot wait until his first trip to Hogwarts! Lily sniffed loudly and wiped her eyes. James looked over, his hazel eyes softening at the look of his wife, and his son.
"Lily, dear, what's wrong?" James put his hand on one of Lily's own. He thought he might have known the reason for her crying, but he wasn't too sure.
" I just want Harry's life to be perfect, James, my life was so hard before we were together…I just want him to have a happy childhood…"
"Don't worry, Lily, nothing wrong will happen, I swear to that; if anything does go wrong, or someone tries to ruin our happiness, I swear I'll kill them." James eyes hardened as he thought of the Death Eaters, and how their reign of terror was so great. He shook his head and smiled. "I can't wait to get home, I'm starving!"
When James looked over a few minutes later, Lily was asleep on his shoulder, her arms delicately wrapped around the blanket that held her baby son. James took the bundle away from her, and held it in his arms. "Baby Harry," he whispered and closed his eyes.
The days slowly turned into weeks, and the weeks turned into months. The Potter family could not be happier, they went on family outings and did things that normal families did. But the thought of what Sybil had said at the leaving ceremony at Hogwarts was on the minds of both Lily and James. Not to mention the Prophecy that she had said almost five years earlier.
It was said that only Lord Voldemort, or Harry must die while the other lives. It worried Lily and James about the outcome of the war, but they knew that they would do anything in their power to help their son, even if it took their own lives in the process.
The Order also pledged to help to keep everyone in the wizarding community, and Harry safe from the Death Eaters evil reign over the muggle and wizarding world. They swore an oath to Dumbledore to keep Harry safe to any means. But sadly, it seemed, it wasn't going to well. Plenty of people from the order were already falling victim to the spreading evil. The Longbottoms were tortured to insanity by Sirius blood relative, which threw him into an unspeakable rage.
It was the day of Harry's first birthday, and the Potter household was in complete disarray. People were running back and forth, getting things ready. Sirius rolled down the stairs twice trying to get confetti to stick to the ceiling, plus trying to put "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HARRY!" sign onto the banister the muggle way. Finally, he gave up and put it up with his wand. He grimaced as he moved his arm.
But on another side of the house, all was not as cheery. Lily had just gotten back her letter from her sister, Petunia. She had thought she'd be nice and invite her sister, and her husband to Harry's birthday. In return she got a cold letter, it read:
Dear Mrs. Potter,
I will not be attending your party, nor will my family. I do not want my son to be around such riff-raff. Now I ask that you stop writing my family. I do not know you. You are dead to me as a sister.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Dursley
Lily's jaw set as she looked over the letter again. She refused to cry on such a joyous day. She didn't even know that Petunia had a baby. She didn't even write to tell her she was an Auntie. She set the letter down, and with the flick of her wand, the letter ignited in flames.
"Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday dear Harry, Happy Birthday to you!" everyone around Harry sang. Lily was even surprised to see Mad-Eye singing too.
"Happy birthday to you, you live in a Zoo. You look like a skunk and smell like one too!" Sirius howled, and everyone clamped his or her ears. Sadly, Harry did too. Sirius looked crestfallen for a moment, and then cheered up.
"Happy birthday, baby boy!" Lily said, smiling.
Sadly enough, Lily nor James would see his second birthday….
AN2: Oooo yeaaa! Another crappy chapter done. Well…don't suffer through it now, you hear? Mmmk…bye!
