Chapter 10

"He can't though..." Lily's voice trailed off, her face white with shock. Never in her life had she thought would James' friend Peter could betray them to the enemy. "He can't." she muttered again looking at Harry in the eye and trying to fathom whether he was pulling her leg or not.

His gaze remained sincere. The green eyes that were hers stared out from his young face and Lily felt with a pang that Harry was not lying.

"I tell you the truth," Harry said, "I met Peter Pettigrew in my third year when Professor Lupin and Sirius uncovered him as the traitor. For a year I'd believe Sirius had been the traitor, but when Peter, who was supposed to be dead was revealed I knew I couldn't doubt them. Wormtail admitted to this crimes. He said that he was scared of Voldemort, scared of his power. He fled to him and sold my parents to him when he could, saving his own miserable skin. It's because of him that you are no longer part of my life; its because of him that Sirius is now dead. Everything falls down to Peter. I would have killed him myself, but I know that can't. I see him with my father and I realise that he was happy at Hogwarts, but out in the real world, Peter couldn't fend for himself in any way," Harry took a deep breath, "I know it is a shock to you, but that is the truth."

He looked his mother solidly in the eye, his gaze not wavering.

Lily remained quiet for sometime, debating in her mind. Finally she spoke: "I believe you. I will probably not look at Peter properly again. I thought I knew him, obviously he holds no remorse for what he has done." She shivered lightly.

It was not cold but Harry realised his mother was in shock. Who wouldn't be when they had just found out that one of their friend's would betray them later on?

That night Lily wondered through the grounds of Hogwarts contemplating the character of Peter Pettigrew. Never in her life had she thought he would deliberately betray her and James to save his own petty life.

Even as she sat at the edges of the Forbidden Forest thinking through things, she did not notice the black shapes moving quickly around her.

Why would that sweet little boy betray us? Lily mused, pulling a hand through her red-gold hair.

Suddenly a twig snapped behind her.

As quick as lightening she pulled her wand from her sleeve and cast 'Lumos.' A bright light erupted from her wand revealing to her ominous dark shapes crowding round her, encircling her from every angle.

Death Eaters! Her mind whirled quickly, heart fluttering in panic. She composed herself, thinking quickly. What could she do?

"Stand down Miss Evans," a cool voice spoke. A voice that she recognised.

"Professor Greenhelm." Lily spoke with certainty. Her eyes blazed evils as Professor Greenhelm walked into view, looking at her.

"Lily, Lily, my dear. You will not be harmed if you come with us willingly."

Lily spat onto the ground. "Never."

Greenhelm clicked his fingers.

Lily had no time to act as no less then five stunning spells hit her simultaneously. Blackness receded over her. Her last thought was of James and Harry.

"No!"

Harry felt tears fall down his cheeks as the killing curse hit Lily fall on. She slumped to the floor her eyes dead, her red hair spilling down past her shoulders.

Something erupted inside his body. Harry knew what was happening. He was being wiped from history. His mother had been killed at seventeen. He could not exist in this time if she was hear.

His voice erupted in agony. Dimly aware of anything, he looked up and saw Voldemort laughing triumphantly. Then Harry was gone. No memory of him existed in time or space.

He simply did not exist.

"HARRY!"

Someone was shaking him hard. He opened his eyes and saw Ron looking fearfully at him. "Ron?"

"Harry, what's going on?"

"A nightmare about my mother. What could be if she died in this time."

Harry did not see Dean, Seamus or Neville sitting next to him. They exchanged glances not fully understanding, however they didn't comment, not wanting to disorient Harry any further.

Ron, obviously knew what Harry was speaking about, looked worried. "Are you sure?"

"Yes," Harry said, "I am. I think I need to see Professor Dumbledore."

Ron nodded, and he helped Harry get to his feet. He looked over his shoulder. "I'll be back later."

Once they were out of Gryffindor Tower, Ron stopped Harry from walking. "What happened?"

Reluctantly Harry told Ron everything in the dream. "It was so real. What if it happened? Ron, I'm afraid. Very. What if it comes to pass?"

"Harry, I'm sure your mother's fine. Go to the Room of Requirement first. You'll see that she's safe."

Quickly the two boys made their way to the hidden room. Harry took a deep breath and walked in.

Anxious faces met him. He saw James pacing in a frenzy; Sirius following him; Remus sitting in a chair, and Peter was standing all alone not sure what to do. There was no sign of Lily. Fear engulfed Harry.

James looked up. "Where is Lily?" he demanded.

"I don't know." Harry muttered.

"What!" James practically shouted. "She was with you earlier!"

"Yes but then she went into the grounds to think." Harry replied. Butting heads with his father was something he didn't wish to do.

The elder Potter was frantic now. "We have to speak to Dumbledore."

"That is where I am going now," interrupted Harry, "you can come if you want."

"You bet I am!" James said pushing Harry out of the way and stumbling out of the room. Harry and Ron followed with Sirius in pursuit.

TBC Poor Lily...

Things are really going wrong now...more will be coming soon!
