Ch.4
I saw Aunt Lily's body hit the floor as I held Harry in my arms. I was trying my hardest not to have him cry. I whispered in his ear the nursery rhyme that Lily made up for him and me.
I never got the chance to finish it because that was when someone found our hiding place. That was when Voldemort opened the door of the closet and pulled me by my hair.
I was trying to fight him off while holding on to Harry at the same time. By now, Harry was bawling.
Voldemort was holding on to my hair and was telling me to let go of the child. I was yelling, "No! I have to protect Harry!" over and over again. He then flung me across the room and I lost my grip on Harry.
I landed next to Aunt Lily's body as Voldemort went towards Harry. I saw her wand in her hand and I just followed my basic instinct. I grabbed her wand and pointed it at Voldemort.
"St- St- Stop!" I stuttered. Voldemort turned and looked straight at me. He then began to laugh. It was the most hideous laughter that I have ever heard.
"Do you wish to stop me little one?" he asked me with a hideous grin. I just nodded my head. I didn't trust myself to speak. Just looking at his face made me want to throw up.
He began to laugh again. "You haven't even gone to Hogwarts yet. What makes you think you can do any harm to the great Lord Voldemort," he said, turning back towards Harry.
'He's right,' I thought to myself. 'But I can at least try to distract him.' I began to mutter whatever spell Remus had taught me that year. The edge of Aunt Lily's wand exploded with yellow and red sparks. It shot directly at Voldemort. He turned around at that very moment to say something more when my spell hit his face. I then saw him stagger back so I then took my chance to get Harry right there.
'I have to keep my promise,' I thought. When I was less then five inches away, I felt my whole body lock up and fell to the floor, face down. Voldemort the kicked me over so I was able to see him.
"I am going to kill that little pest first so you can watch. Then, I will kill you!" he said. I could see his face starting to splinter from my spell. I saw him point his wand at Harry and I heard him say the word "Avada." I closed my eyes when he said "Kedavra." Even though I had my eyes closed, I could still see the flash of green.
'I'm sorry,' I thought as the house began to tremble. 'I am so sorry!' I thought one more time as the house began to fall on top of me.
