Everything

Lily and James stared in horror as they saw Voldemort approach them, wand in hand.

"However, if you two want to stay alive, and be eternally secure, you may join me and my supporters now,"

"Over my dead body!" James spat.

"I have a few other questions for you, but first, Petrificus totalus!" James turned as rigid as a board.

Cackling, he put his face thisclose to James. "Where are your parents?"

"Do you honestly think that I would ever tell you that?"

"WHERE ARE YOUR PARENTS!!!????" spit went flying into James' face.

No answer.

Voldemort smiled in a sickening way at Lily.

"You lay a single slimy paw on Lily, and I swear you will regret the day you were born." James said bravely.

Voldemort grabbed Lily by her hair and pointed his wand at her temples. "Don't be too sure." He smiled maliciously.

"What's it going to be Potter, the Mudblood or your parents" James stared at Voldemort in horror.

Lily's eyes were begging, pleading for her life, but at the same time told him to save his parents. "AVAD-"

"ACCIO WAND!" Voldemort and James' wand went flying into Sirius's hand. "Petrificous totalus!" he bound Voldemort and muttered the counter-curse for James and Lily.

"What do you think you schmuck?!" Sirius said. "While you're waiting there, for your precious supporters to realize you're here, James has something to tell you." Sirius nodded at James, and James winked back.

Voldemort was suddenly struck rather hard in the holy area. "Stupefy!" He instinctively tried to protect himself, but he couldn't move.

"So much for strength and power," James jabbed his palm right into Voldemort's nose. He lay there unconscious, blood running freely from his nose.

Lily looked at James and smiled, as she was thanking Sirius she felt her whole world spin, turning into a mound of colors. Just as she was going to ask for help, she collapsed to the floor.


Sirius and James, sat in the mahogany chairs of Dumbledore's office, waiting. James was humming to himself a song by Aerosmith- a music group that Lily introduced to him. Sirius however was trying to drown out the voice of Phineas Nigellus, who kept on raving about how he destroyed the family name.

After a quarter of an hour of Sirius talking rather loudly and James humming, Dumbledore came into the room; his midnight-blue robes sweeping the floor.

"I'm sorry to keep you gentlemen waiting, I was sending a letter to Miss Evans' parents." He said peering at them through his half moon spectacles.

"I'm very sorry to hear that you had such an experience with Voldemort, but I am also very proud to say, that on behalf of your actions and portrayal of loyalty and bravery to the school, that each of you, including Miss Evans will be receiving fifty points each to your houses." A shadow of a smile crept upon his papery white skin.

"However, due to these recent events we must be sure that each and every student is safe at all times. This means that during all Hogsmeade trips you must take extra precautions and keep your eyes open even to the smallest of things.

Teachers will be watching the halls during school hours, so that hopefully, won't interfere with your everyday schedule.

Now I'm sure that you are wondering how you Head Girl is doing. It appears that Voldemort did cast some sort of spell on her- though we aren't sure what it is, according to Madame Pomfrey, she is going to be fine- just give her a few days." Sirius and James fumbled in their chairs uncomfortably- giving the message that they wanted to leave.

"Oh, and Mr. Potter, before you leave I hope that you will be telling Miss Evans the instructions I just gave you."

"Of course Professor."

"You are dismissed."


After arguing with Madame Pomfrey for half an hour, James was finally able to see Lily. She was surrounded by dozens of flowers, cards, and plenty of candy. James added a bouquet of white lilies and pink roses to her collection of flowers.

She lay there in her bed looking like she would wake up in any moment. James smoothed her hair away from her face.

"I'm so sorry for making you come with me," he whispered as he kissed fingertips; one by one. "I promise from this day forward, to protect you no matter what the cost. Just please wake up soon."

His heart skipped a beat; for a moment he thought that he saw her open her eyes.

"You've been in here for an hour! She needs her rest!"

James opened his mouth to tell Madame Pomfrey that he was barely there for ten minutes and that she seems to be in quite a comfortable sleep, but she cut him off.

"GET OUT!!!" she bellowed.

Lily stirred in her sleep.

"See what you made me do!" said Madame Pomfrey, trying to talk quietly. "Get Out!!!"

James walked across the yellow and orange leaves that covered the grass, enjoying the crunching sound that they made when he stepped on them. The sun, shining in the west blinded his sight. He turned his head away from the sun and spotted Sirius sitting under the beech tree, ripping grass.

"What's up, mate?" James sat down next to him and chewed on a piece of grass.

"I'm just thinking."

"About what?"

"You and me, waking up in the same bed, raising a family, growing old together."

"Ahh, young love!"

They sighed in unison.

"Padfoot?"

"Yes dear,"

"Thank You."

"For what?"

"Everything."
