Eternal Passion

Chapter 4

Sometime around midnight, Harry began to sweat. He was having the worst nightmare ever, and he'd had some pretty bad ones in his time. A powerful sense of sadness welled up inside of him. For some reason or other, he kept seeing his mother in his minds' eye, as if she was there, but just out of his reach. Impossibly, he could see Lily the night she gave birth. She looked tired out, as if she hadn't slept in days. His father, James, was there as well. Lily cradled him close as she looked adoringly down at her newborn baby boy.

"Well, I won't say that was pleasant."

She caressed her son's forehead, where one day he would bear the scar that would mark him as Harry Potter. She smiled warmly for a few brief seconds as she kissed her son on the forehead.

"But he's more than worth it."

James sat down next to her. So far, his son hadn't made a single sound.

"I hope that he stays like this, totally silent in the night. He seems to look like me."

Lily looked at him.

"Oh come on James, he's not THAT bad looking. Besides, he has a hint of me in him."

James pretended to pout, then kissed Lily on the cheek. Just as they were about to kiss some more, somebody knocked on the door. James got up and went to answer it. Outside were Sirius Black and Remus Lupin. He smiled at his two closest friends.

"Come to see our son have you? Come in, come in. The more the merrier."

Sirius knelt down as he examined James' son.

"Have you decided on a name yet?"

Remus stroked the baby boy's cheek very gently. James shrugged.

"We're thinking about calling him Harry. What do you two think?"

Sirius and Remus both nodded. Lily moved in her bed, still cradling her tiny baby boy to her. James looked at her.

"Is that ok with you, honey?"

Lily shook her head.

"How about Harry JAMES Potter?"

All three men nodded. As if to confirm what they were saying, Harry gave a few gurgles. Lily smiled as Harry reached up and touched her face.

It had been a little more than a year since Harry's birth, and was Halloween. Sirius was spending time at Lupin's house, as it was full moon and he needed to be controlled. It was a stormy night, with lightning flashing every so often. James was sitting in an armchair and Lily was sat on the sofa, cradling Harry in her arms. James looked at her, smiling.

"He really has your eyes, my love."

Lily smiled.

"And he looks just like you."

James got up and walked over the room to his wife and son. Just as he was about to sit down, a massive explosion ripped the house into smouldering ruins. James, Lily and Harry had all survived the blast. James looked around for the source of the explosion, thinking maybe a freak lightning bolt had hit the house. He had his wand drawn to teleport them all to Sirius's house when a high-pitched laugh stopped him in his tracks. His blood seemed to have been replaced with liquid nitrogen. Slowly he turned around.

"Good evening Mr Potter."

Lord Voldemort walked slowly towards him. But James hadn't been put in Gryffindor for lack of courage. He turned around and yelled to his wife.

"Lily, run, it's him! Go! I'll hold him off!"

Voldemort laughed cruelly.

"You really are brave, James Potter, but tonight, you will fight your last battle. AVADA KEDAVRA!"

James didn't have a chance to move or even try to duck the spell. He was hit in the chest and fell to the floor, dead before he hit the ground. Voldemort then took after Lily, and Apparated in front of her.

"Not so fast Lily Potter. Your husband is dead. However, I will spare your life if..."

He pointed with his wand at the silent child in her arms.

"If you lay down your child."

Lily's eyes widened in shock. She clutched Harry to her.

"No, please, don't kill Harry, kill me instead."

Unnoticed by Voldemort, a warm link joined mother and son at her willingness to die for him. He raised his wand, and said the spell he'd used countless times.

With Lily now dead too, he turned his attention to the baby in the mud.

"That prophecy shall never come to pass. Your life ends here, Harry Potter. AVADA KEDAVRA!"

As if deflected by some invisible shield, the green jet of light rebounded off Harry and struck Voldemort down. Stripped of his powers and nearly dead, Voldemort fled.

Harry awoke, screaming. Cho was at his side, trying to comfort him.

"Harry, wake up, wake up, you've had a nightmare."

Harry stopped screaming, and began panting, out of breath. Ben appeared at the door, rubbing his eyes.

"What is it?"

Cho turned to him and ushered him out.

"Please Ben, just leave me alone with Harry. I'll explain in the morning."

Surprisingly, Ben made no effort to push his sister's temper. Cho knelt down by Harry's side.

"I can't say I know exactly how you feel Harry, but remember, I've lost a close one as well. I can help you. A lot. Maybe more than either of us knows."

Harry looked up at Cho, his eyes flooded with tears. She leant down to him and kissed him on the cheek. Harry stopped crying as Cho smiled at him.

"I don't really like you, Harry Potter. I love you."

Ben switched on a radio outside the room, and then scampered off to bed. A pre-recorded love song played out slowly.

'Who can say for certain

Maybe you're still here

I feel you all around me

Your memory's so clear

Deep in the stillness

I can hear you speak

You're still an inspiration

Can it be

That you are my

Forever love

And you are watching over me from up above

Fly me up to where you are

Beyond the distant star

I wish upon tonight

To see you smile

If only for awhile to know you're there

A breath away's not far

To where you are

Are you gently sleeping

Here inside my dream

And isn't faith believing

All power can't be seen

As my heart holds you

Just one beat away

I cherish all you gave me everyday

'Cause you are my

Forever love

Watching me from up above

And I believe

That angels breathe

And that love will live on and never leave

Fly me up

To where you are

Beyond the distant star

I wish upon tonight

To see you smile

If only for awhile

To know you're there

A breath away's not far

To where you are

I know you're there

A breath away's not far

To where you are'

Harry gasped. His relationship with Cho had hardly ended on a sweet note, and he didn't think her love for him had survived. He stared into her chocolate-brown eyes, and then pulled her on top of him. Cho smiled as she snuggled up to him.

"My parents would give me hell if they found out about this."

She used a spell and locked the door. She then looked back at Harry.

"But they won't. Tonight Harry, is for you and me."

She encouraged Harry into her bed and joined him. Both kissed the other a few times, then Cho embraced Harry as he drifted into a deep, peaceful sleep.
