Lily and James woke up peacefully and made love again shortly after. It ended abruptly as Harry started to wake and cry. Lily went to care for him while James prepared breakfast downstairs. Once Harry was fed and full, Lily and James sat and ate. They both knew they had a decision to make and finally James claimed it would be Sirius. Dumbledore and Sirius came a few hours later, wanting an answer. The Potters decided Sirius, everyone was happy except for Dumbledore.

"That can't be done, I'm so sorry. Voldemort knows where you live Sirius. It wouldn't be safe."

Sirius begged to differ but Lily silenced him rather quickly.

"He needs to be with someone that Voldemort would not know or think to look."

Lily thought for a moment and knew who it had to be. She hated the idea, but they had no one else. She spoke up, tears in her eyes.

"My sister, Petunia. She's a muggle and Voldemort knows nothing about her."

Dumbledore pondered the thought and made it the final decision that Petunia would take Harry. Dumbledore and Sirius soon bidded goodbye afterwards and left. As for Lily and James, they talked about their decisions and if it was the best one. In the end, it came down to the fact that it wasn't the greatest, but the only choice they had. They spent the rest of the day with Harry, dancing and playing together, while taking turns making up funny faces and games. Lily and James watched their son and inside Lily cried thinking of seeing him living with someone like Petunia. Her son didn't deserve it. He needed to be here, with mom and dad! James noted the slow stream of tears falling down her cheeks and he quickly went and embraced her tightly. They shared a moment of despair and silence, and ended it with Harry tugging on them. The end of the day came too soon, and for the last time Lily fed and tucked her son into bed. Once that was done, she went downstairs to James and they sat together on the living room couch, hands twined, heads resting on each others shoulder and was once again consumed in silence. It lasted mere moments for suddenly they heard rumbles from outside. They both quickly jumped up, fearing the worst was outside and their lives were over. Scared, Lily turned to run for Harry when James grabbed her arm and swung her towards him till their faces were inches apart.

"Lily if anything happens to us…I just want you to know that I love you with all my heart. Please, don't ever forget that, being with you and Harry all these years has made me complete."

Lily sobbed and closed the space between them for what was to be their last kiss together. They kissed desperately, tugging at each other and for the last time exploring each others mouth. She pulled away first, tears falling from both her eyes and James. Just outside, lightning was shown threw the windows and the rumbling near the front door were closer than before.

"James dear I love you too. Nothing will ever change that. You and Harry mean so much to me; I couldn't live without both of you."

The noise outside grew louder and Lily and James could sense the danger that was right outside their door.

"Lily, I'm sorry we have to face this. Things weren't suppose to be this way, I'm so sorry. Take him Lily, take him and run."

Lily looked at him in fear of losing him but suddenly the sound of the front door opening was heard and they knew what they had to do. Lily eyes widened in fear and she could do nothing but kiss the man whom she knew she'd probably never see again. He kissed her back but pulled away quickly.

"Go Lily! Get Harry and run!"

"What about you?" she cried.

"Don't worry about me, just go!"

Lily cried and ran upstairs, mind filling up with panic and fear and got Harry. She wiped her eyes to see, and grabbed Harry. Fear was rushing threw her and she frantically thought of a way to save her son from the death of Voldemort. She shut her eyes, running memories of school assignments and lectures from the good days back at Hogwarts. She winced at every painful memory of her and James together. Suddenly, it clicked in! She closed her eyes and thought of everyone in her life and wished them all love and happiness. She opened her teary eyes and kissed Harry on his forehead.

"Mommy loves you. I'm so sorry this has to happen. We didn't want this. Mommy and Daddy will come back for you, I promise."

She was scared by the sound of cries from outside Harry's door. She ran out, Harry in her arms to see James fighting Voldemort. He sensed her presence and screamed.

"LILY! GET OUT OF HERE NOW! GET HARRY AND GO!"

She was about to go until she heard the cry of pain escape James mouth and the victorious laugh from Voldemort. She turned to see her husband's lifeless body fall to the floor. She cried for him and prepared to run to him, but quickly motioned away as Voldemort was gaining on her. She ran back in Harry's room and closed the door before turning away. She knew what she had to do, she couldn't flee or else it wouldn't work. She heard the door fly open and for the last time she kissed Harry on his cheek.

"I love you." she whispered.

She placed him in his crib and turned to face Voldemort.

"Move aside you silly girl." he hissed.

"No! Please! Not Harry! Please not Harry!"

"I said move aside!"

"No please! Don't kill Harry, kill me instead! Take me..not Harry!"

Within that moment, Voldemort raised his wand and yelled 'Avada Kedavra.' Lily closed her eyes and inside cleared her mind of everything. All she thought was happiness and her years with James, at Hogwarts, and finally Harry. She remembered the love they shared and the bond that would never be broken between them. Before she knew it, a cold feeling rushed threw her body and as life slowly escaped her she fell to the ground crying for Harry in her head.
