Harry Potter Fanfiction

Author's Note: Please read the song at the end. Thank you.
Harry Potter did not die that night. Harry Potter lived. He was the boy who lived. And Lord Voldemort had vanished, quickly, abruptly, with no trace. The boy was found shortly after...with a long scar down his forehead, shaped like a lightning bolt. He was the biggest hero of his time.
And what became of Lily and James?
Both were found dead in their house, Lily thrown over the crib, most likely trying to protect her baby.
But who had done it?
There was no doubt in anyone's mind that it was Lord Voldemort who had killed both of them. James Potter had been working for the ministry in a field to stop the Dark Lord, so it was obvious the Lord would try to stop him and his wife. A headline the next morning read "Dark Lord's Final Triumph" and went on to describe the Potter's house and how they were found.
"This was the work of the Dark Lord," read the article. "Officials have found proof in both victim's bodies. Both had the death curse put upon them, the Dark Lord's method of murdering. The Potters were found at three o'clock, Monday morning, on November 1st. And this was the Dark Lord's last attempt, for their son, Harry Potter, has not been killed by the Lord. He has somehow rejected it, and..."
The article went on and on about Harry Potter. And about the Dark Lord's reign ending.
No one even suspected James had killed Lily himself.
One man did. But Sirius Black was arrested recently after for murder and brought to Azkaban. But he knew. Sirius would always know that Voldemort had been help for a cover up. That James was to blame. But would Sirius ever tell anyone? Would he ever tell Harry?
No. He never did. Why ruin Harry even more? And the burden of carrying this knowledge, of what he had done, of what James had done, weighed Sirius down for the remaining years of his life, which were numbered.
Lily and James Potter died together that night. But how they died everyone assumed to soon. If they looked at the evidence, we'd see Lily had been killed long before James, proving their theory wrong.
But James would never kill Lily. They were so happy together! Weren't they?

She's got her halo and wings
Hidden under his eyes
But she's an angel for sure
She just can't stop telling lies
But it's too late for his love
Already caught in a trap
His angel's kiss was a joke
And she is not coming back
Because heaven sends and heaven takes
Crashing cars in his brain
Keep him tied up to a dream
And only she can set him free
And then he says to me
Kill me now, kill me now, kill me now, kill me now
Kill me now, kill me now, kill me now, kill me now
Yeah she's got a criminal mind
He's got a reason to pray
His life is under the gun
He's got to hold every day
Now he just wants to wake up
Yeah, just to prove it's a dream
Cause she's an angel for sure
But that remains to be seen
Because heaven sends and heaven takes
Crashing cars in his brain
Keep him tied up to a dream
And only she can set him free
And then he says to me
Kill me now, kill me now, kill me now, kill me now
Kill me now, kill me now, kill me now, kill me now
Stupid on the streets of London
James Dean in the rain
Without her it's not the same
The same, the same, but it's alright
Because heaven sends and heaven takes
Crashing cars in his brain
Keep him tied up to a dream
And only she can set him free
And then he says to me
Kill me now, kill me now, kill me now, kill me now
Kill me now, kill me now, kill me now, kill me now
Again and again
