Chapter 2
One week Later
Lily cuddled up next to her husband on the couch. Their son, Harry, was playing with his toy cars on the floor next to them. It was late in the evening after dinner. James had his arm hung around Lily's shoulders. He was slowly reading his favorite novel Sam's Magic Attack by Joey Nelson. Lily was quickly flipping through her catalogue on houseplants. This was an ideal evening for a family of three.
"Do you want it to be a boy or girl?" asked Lily suddenly.
"Our new baby?" asked James not taking his eyes from the book he was reading.
"Yes, what did you think I was taking about?" replied Lily.
"Well, we have Harry and he is a boy. So I guess a girl would be nice for you," said James.
"I like the name Rose," said Lily.
"If you like Rose, then I like Rose," replied her husband. James ran his hand down over Lily's stomach.
"We're having a baby," said Lily after a bit of silence.
"I know," replied James.
"And the baby will always have to live in exile," said Lily. James sighed and then stood up and picked up Harry.
"Lil, you can't think that way. You have to think positive," said James. "The kids will be able to go to school and have friends. Sirius's kid, Dan, and Harry get along great. Plus Peter will never tell."
"I just can't trust him," replied Lily. Lily looked down at her stomach and ran her fingers across the flat surface. "Just think about it... In a few months I'll be getting fat." Lily laughed and Harry looked up at his mom.
"Harry, today's you birthday!" said James with excitement. Harry clapped his hands together and smiled.
"And today we found out you are going to have a little baby sister or brother," said Lily.
"Aren't you excited?" asked James. Harry pushed himself up to a standing position and then walked unsteadily over to his dad.
A knock on the door jerked theirs heads from Harry.
"Who would becoming this late to visit?" asked Lily as she nervously stood up.
"It must be Sirius coming to wish Harry happy birthday," said James uneasily. In a second Dumbledore rushed into the room.
"Lily, James," said Dumbledore as he gasped for breath. "You're still alive!"
"Of course we are alive," said James. "Peter hasn't told anyone but you and Sirius where we are hiding."
"No, he told," replied Dumbledore. "He told someone who notified Voldemort. I just came back from the future. We have less than an hour."
"NO," said Lily. "This isn't happening."
"I'll kill him," said James.
"But you can't," replied Dumbledore. "If you kill Voldemort, then Voldemort doesn't die."
"What do you mean!" exclaimed Lily.
"Voldemort will be here in less than an hour. He kills James and you. But he can't kill Harry for some reason. And he dies," said Dumbledore.
"So Voldemort dies?" asked James. "And Harry kills him?"
"No, he doesn't die all the way. He just disappears. But he kills you two," said Dumbledore.
"I can save you." said Dumbledore.
"And the baby will always have to live in exile," said Lily. James sighed and then stood up and picked up Harry.
"Lil, you can't think that way. You have to think positive," said James. "The kids will be able to go to school and have friends. Sirius's kid, Nick, and Harry get along great. Plus Peter will never tell."
"I just can't trust him," replied Lily. Lily looked down at her stomach and ran her fingers across the flat surface. "Just think about it... In a few months I'll be getting fat." Lily laughed and Harry looked up at his mom.

"No, he told," replied Dumbledore. "He told someone who notified Voldemort. I just came back from the future. We have less than an hour."
"NO," said Lily. "This isn't happening."
"I'll fight him," said James. "I am a Gryffindor, I will kill Voldemort!"
"But you can't," replied Dumbledore. "If you kill Voldemort, then Voldemort doesn't die."
"What do you mean!" exclaimed Lily.
"Voldemort will be here in less than a hour. He kills James and you. But he can't kill Harry for some reason. And he dies," said Dumbledore.
"So Voldemort dies?" asked James. "And Harry kills him?"
"No, he doesn't die all the way. He just disappears. But he kills you two," said Dumbledore.
"So why are you telling us?" asked Lily. "So we can write letters to our friends or something?"
"No," said Dumbledore. "So I can save you."
