2 months later
Lily sighed as she looked into her closet mirror and then to the jeans lying on her bed. There was no way that she would be able to fit into them now that she was 2 ½ months pregnant. She put her hands to her stomach, it wasn't too much bigger, but it was big enough not to fit into her favorite pair of blue jeans. James walked into the room and gave Lily a hug. He had finally gotten used to the fact that he was going to be a father and couldn't wait for the 9 months to be up.
"Do you have Quidditch practice today?" Lily asked.
"No, we haven't started the new season yet. Doesn't seem like we really need to practice anymore after winning every game that we played along with the Quidditch World Cup," James said motioning to the giant gold cup that rested on his dresser.
Lily sighed and leaned into his shoulder. She hadn't gotten any sleep last night. "Any attacks mentioned in the Daily Prophet?" she asked.
"No, thankfully. It looks like the attacker has decided to lay low for a while," said James.
"There haven't been any attacks since they caught that Harris guy for murdering the McKinnons. Do you remember him from school?"
"Yes, he was always strange and always up to something. I was always surprised that he was in Hufflepuff, if I were the Sorting Hat I would have put him in Slytherin," said Lily.
James laughed. "Yeah, but no one wanted to be in Slytherin back then, and besides, he's not a pure blood," he said.
Lily nodded. It was a well known fact that only pure bloods could get into Slytherin. Lily had luckily been chosen to join Gryffindor and knew that there was no way that she could be landed in Slytherin because she was a mudblood meaning she has non magic parents. Lily strolled over to the bed and flopped down on it, James following be hind her. She reached her hand over to him and grabbed his hand. "What are we going to do, James?" she asked.
"About what?" he asked.
"It is going to be a dangerous time to raise a child," said Lily.
"Lils, with the Order all ready formed we might be able to catch who ever it is before it is born," he smiled moving closer to her.
Lily sat up and rested herself on top of the pillows. James pulled himself up and leaned on her shoulder. "I sure hope we stop all of this before the child is born," she sighed.
"Lils, don't live in the future, you'll miss all of the beautiful things happening in the present," he said kissing her on the lips. He wrapped his arms around her waist.
Lily found it hard to lapse into the other world as she usually did while kissing James. She couldn't help but think about the future and who was going to make the front page of the prophet next. James could sense her tenseness and moved one of his hands up to her face lightly stroking her cheek. He felt her relax a little as their tongues began to frolic in her mouth.

A high pitched cackle sounded that night, 200 miles away from the Potter house on Glen Street. There was a flash of green light that reflected throughout the whole block, but everyone was asleep. No one heard the crash as little old Mrs. Redner fell backwards into her china cabinet. There was no time for her to scream as her last breath got caught in her throat. Peter was shaking as he left the house. His first mission had been fulfilled. He had succeeded in punished Mr. Redner for not responding to his master's black mail.
Peter's master was in the process of recruiting followers, or as he called them, Death Eaters. It was his job to make sure that the most powerful wizards were on his side by forcing them to respond to black mail. Peter felt guilty as he walked home that night and once again fell into an uneasy sleep.

Lily awoke in the middle of the night and sat up. James snapped his eyes open and looked over at her. Lily was now shaking violently. James sat up and put his arms on her shoulders. "Lily! What's wrong?!" he yelled.
"I don't know, I just had a bad feeling, that's all," she said putting her hand up to her face.
James laid her back down and held her in his arms. "Everything is going to be alright," he whispered in her ear.
Lily flipped over to face him and nestled her head under his chin. James held her tighter and slowly her breathing returned to normal. He leaned his head down and breathed in the light vanilla scent of Lily's hair. "James, that tickles," she said sleepily kissing his neck. She sighed and slowly she drifted off back into her troubled sleep. James sat by her side awake just incase she had another unexpected awakening. He looked over at the clock and his eye lids began to drop as he watched the hands move.
