Chapter 14.
October 31, 1981
He was sitting in front of the fire. He was in deep thinking. The words was running through his mind. They had been since he found it. In fact he had it right on the coffee table in front of him. He had read it several times. Wondering if he should tell Lily. His hazel eyes on the fire. He could hear Lily singing to his son.
James lifted his head with a smile. He loved Lily deeply. And Harry too. He would make any sacrifice for them. James stood and picked the paper up again. His eyes skimming through the letter. He was, again, re-reading what it said.
Dearest and noble Prongs,
I wanted to tell you that you have been a great friend this year while I was here. I know I can't tell you but I have to. It's about your future. And Lily's future. Along with your son and my best friend, Harry. Yeah, your son is my best friend in the future. And I just had to tell you or Lily. When Harry is one years old, on Halloween's night, you will be betrayed by one of your friends and Lord Voldemort will attack you, Lily and Harry. You and Lily will be killed. Harry will survive the Avada Kedava curse and be famous in the years to come. I can't bear it that you, my best friend and my best friend's father, will be dead. Please don't make Peter your Secret Keeper. It's for everyone's sake. Even Harry's. I don't want to see Harry without parents. He loved you even if he didn't have you. But I would rather see him with you and not with Lily's sister's family. They are horrid to him. Please becareful in the future. I hope you come through alright.
Swiftstar, aka Hermione
James sighed his hand starting to shake. He knew he could just run for it. But then again, if it was what the future held for Harry, he would be famous. Famous for defeating the Dark Lord that he for several years had been trying to do with the Order. Stopping the evil dark lord from reigning terror on everyone.
James rubbed his chin and shook his head. "I'm sorry, Swiftstar. I wish it could be different but it can't." he whispered. He went over to the book shelf where he kept his secret papers and put the letter into the steel safe. James then went into the dining room where his beautiful red haired queen was feeding the spoiled brat of a son. The words of the letter already forgotten because of the happiness he could see.
He grinned as Harry refused to eat more baby food. James couldn't help but laugh catching Lily's eyes. She narrowed her eyes playfully at him. "What's so funny?" She asked in strict way. James shrugged. "Harry reminds me of myself." He said. Lily rolled her eyes standing. She went over and hugged James. "That's kind of scary." She said poking him in the ribs. James laughed and wrapped his arms around Lily. He kissed her soft lips and hugged her tightly.
They both looked at the sleepy looking baby in the high chair. James then frowned wondering if Hermione was really telling the truth about Voldemort paying them a visit. He let out a small sigh catching Lily's eyes. She looked at him and saw the look. She frowned abit. "What's wrong?" She asked softly. James glanced at her then smiled. "I'm just remembering our days at Hogwarts." He said. Lily smiled. "I miss her too. If it wasn't for Hermione Dumbledore, we probably wouldn't be together. And have a wonderful son." She said looking fondly at Harry. James nodded. "We did owe her alot, didn't we?" He asked. Lily nodded resting her head on James's chest. "I feel bad for Remus though. He loved her so much and then she disappeared like that. And never wrote to us. I'm beginning to think something bad had happened to her." Lily said with a slight frown.
The black haired man frowned a crooked frown. He knew exactly what had happened. She was going through time trying to get back to her time. He wondered if he would see her again. Since she was going to be Harry's best friend at Hogwarts. He smiled planning already to invite Hermione Granger over for the Christmas holidays when Harry met her. He wanted to see her again. His old best friend. Boy, was Lily going to be surprised when she meets her. He could almost hear what she would say to Hermione the first time she lays eyes on her.
thoughts
They would be climbing off the train for the Christmas holidays. Harry would run and greet them. James and Lily would smiling waiting to see their son. Then Hermione would climb off with Harry and Lily would just stare. After the introductions were made, Lily would tilt her head like she always did when she was thinking. "You know. You look alot like an old friend of mine. Are you related to a Hermione Dumbledore by any chance?" Lily would ask. James would laugh.
end thoughts
And in real life James did. He snickered just thinking about it making Lily look at him. "What's so funny?" She asked. James shook his head releasing her. "Nothing. Just thinking about what Harry would say about your cooking." He teased. Lily's eyes went wide as she looked insulted. James quickly ran out of the room as Lily threw the cloth she was using to wipe Harry's mouth at him. "James Potter! I am going to skin you alive!" She laughed.
James laughed as he went to the phone. "Just joking, love. I'm calling Sirius to see how he's holding up." he called picking up the reciever. He started to dial when suddenly the lights started to flicker. And the phone went dead. James's smile faded right away as his eyes grew wide. He dropped the phone and spun around. Something was coming.
He ran over to the window and looked out into the darkness. The shadow of a man was creeping across the yard. His wand out. James felt his heart just freeze right over. His eyes went wide. He spun around. "Lily, take Harry and go! It's him! Go! Run! I'll hold him off----!" He was yelling. He was running towards the door stumbling over the coffee table. The door suddenly burst open and monster was coming inside. James heard Lily starting to scream as she ran up the stairs.
He was facing Lord Voldemort. "Get out of here! Get out of my house and leave my family alone you monster!" He yelled raising his wand. Voldemort cackled his high pitched laugh. He rose his wand. "Fool, Potter. You can't stop me." he said. James growled and started to flick his wand "EXPELL---!" He was yelling. Voldemort smirked and pointed. "Avada Kedavra!" He bellowed. James's eyes widened as the blinding green light shot at him. He didn't even have the chance. The killing curse hit him straight in the chest and sent him flying across the room. He slammed into the wall and fell to the ground. James Potter was dead.
Voldemort made his way to the stairs and started to climb. "James? Is he gone?" Lily called. She opened the bedroom door and looked into the hall only to see the Dark Lord. She gasped and let out a scream. Lily slammed the door shut and ran towards the window holding Harry tight. She began trying to open the window she and Harry could escape.
Suddenly the door was blown off it's hinges. Lily hugged Harry tighter. She spun around to look at the pale face hidden under the hood. "No! Not Harry! Not Harry! Please! I'll do anything!" She cried covering Harry with her body. She cowered under the evil gaze from the Dark Lord. Voldemort had his wand out pointing at her. "Stand aside. Stand aside, girl!" He ordered. Lily shook her head violently. "Not Harry! Not Harry, please not Harry!" She begged. Voldemort bared his yellow teeth with rage. "Stand aside, you silly girl! Do as I say! Stand aside now!" He roared raising his wand.
Lily set Harry down behind her. Tears streaming down her face. "No! Not Harry! You can't kill him! Please take me, kill me instead!" She begged holding her arms out as if trying to push the evil creature away. "Please.......have mercy! Have mercy for God's damned sake!!" She screamed.
Voldemort surely had enough of this woman's pleas. He rose his wand and jabbed it straight at her. "Crucio!" He yelled. The torture curse struck Lily hard in the chest. She began screaming as she fell to the ground beside Harry. Lord Voldemort just laughed his head off. Lily's eyes tightly shut as she screamed and kicked the ground.
The Dark Lord stopped for a mere second and turned around. There stood his spy cowering in the doorway. Lily's eyes opened with all the pain. They widened at the sight of Peter. "You! Hermione was right! She said that there was something wrong with you!" She screamed. Peter had tears falling down his fat face. "I'm so sorry, Lily! I'm so sorry!" He cried in a muttering. Lord Voldemort just laughed and pointed his wand right at Lily. "Avada Kedvara!" He laughed. Lily let out another scream before going completely still.
Peter trembled with wild eyes at the sight of her. His terror filled eyes went to Harry. "Please, master. Does it have to be this way? Maybe he can be your apprentice." he said hopefully. He wanted to save Harry's life. For James and Lily's sake.
Lord Voldemort jerked his red eyes at Peter. "Shut up! If you wish to live then you will keep your traitorous mouth shut!" He roared. Peter flinched heavily and fell to his knees closing his eyes. He didn't want to see this. He didn't want to see the baby die. He pressed his fat face against the wall and covered his ears. "Avada Kedavra!" He heard his master yell.
But instead of hearing the baby scream, Lord Voldemort did. Peter's eyes jerked open and he looked into the room. Bright light had filled the room blinding Wormtail. It was too intense. The light was coming from Harry Potter. The master was trying to back away. "NNNNOOOO!!!" The Dark Lord screamed.
The house started to shake and rumble. Peter quickly got to his feet and raced out of the house. He just ran down the sidewalk stopping only at the gate. His tear streaked face was pale as he watched the bright light just fill the entire house. Then the loudest explosion.
It sent Peter flying through the air across the street landing in a bush of thorns. Peter saw bits of wood,. fire, smoke everywhere. The house had been turned into ruins. He trembled and sobbed. "I'm so sorry, James! I'm so sorry!" He cried. Peter quickly apparated away from there.
But only inside, sat the baby crying heavily. Harry Potter was crying from the pain on his forhead. The lightening bolt scar red and freshly cut. Only he was left alive just crying and screaming from the pain he had. Untel he fell asleep on the blanket next to his dead mother.
A/N: I swear it I started to cry while typing this. But it had to be done. For one, if this wouldn't have happened, Harry wouldn't have defeated Voldemort and the Dark Lord would still be at large during the books. I'm really sorry, guys. But it had to be. Review please. prepares to get hit by bricks, stones, whatever is thrown.
