HOWDY! Welcome to something new called Till Forever Falls Apart! Now yes, I know it's not ATLA and it's not Naruto. Those are coming (especially chapt 50) I honestly just got burnt out on both of them. So, I started reading Harry Potter stuff and MY GOD is there a lot to read. I decided to take a stab at something fresh and new to try and ease out of my writing block. So here it is.

THIS IS AN AU. THIS MEANS THAT I AM BENDING CANON TO MY WILL. IN THIS STORY I AM GOD. CHARACTERS WILL BE DIFFERENT THEN THEY WERE IN CANON. AU MEANS AUGMENTED UNIVERSE. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A CONTINUATION OF CANON THIS IS NOT FOR YOU!

This will be a gray IndiHarry fic. There will be NO BASHING. All of the decisions these characters make make sense for thier character. Dumbledore will be taken down some pegs. That's going to happen but it won't be over the top. Another thing, characters will be FAR more powerful then in canon. I always thouhgt it was weird that Voldemort didn't seem that powerful. In this, SHE (yes I changed it. why? because I can) is going to be MUCH stronger. Like 5x more powerful. This means that everyone else will be scalded appropiatly. If you have any issues please PM me.

Release Schedule: WHEN EVER IT HAPPENS. I am doing away with a release schedule. It's part of the reason why I got burnt out in the first place. These chapter will come out when they come out. I'm not going to stress about "being late". These chapter take time. (I would recommend setting a follow)

Finally, Thank you to everyone who PMs me to make sure I'm alive. I really appreciate it. Don't worry chapter 50 of AWTF will be out soon. The Legend...I'll deal with that later.

Now, without further delay...I present...Till Forever Falls Apart!

I do NOT own Harry Potter! JKR does!

Lily Evans-Potter looked up from her book and furrowed her brow. She looked at the antique clock that sat on the mantle of her personal fireplace and frowned

"Why is someone approaching the house at this time of night?" She asked herself as she grabbed her Willow and Thunderbird feather wand. That was when it hit her just who would be coming to her house in the first place.

"Shite!" She flicked her wand and felt the wards on the house activate. I have to slow her down as much as possible until everything is ready. She once again set her left wrist into motion, casting a wandless patronus. Out of the tip of her wand came a beautiful swan the size of a medium sized cat.

"Go to Bella and tell her that Voldemorte is here. Go to Amelia and tell her the same and for her to bring the calvary. Go to Poppy and tell her to prepare for Harry's arrival. Go to Pandora, Marlene, and Dorcas and tell them to get to Poppy's house and wait. And tell them all to hurry before Dumbledore gets here!"

She glanced up from the table where she was making her final preparations to see the swan nod its head, and take off out of the room. She couldn't take very long to appreciate the astral projection due to the fact that she could feel Voldemorte getting closer and closer to the front door.

Shite! She got through those wards like they were nothing! That means Peter must have warned her about them! She angely thought while grabbing a small bottle that had a clear liquid in it. She examined it closely and nodded her head before slipping on her slippers. She took one final look in the mirror and sighed.

Lily had her long, bright red hair in a very loose ponytail which was behind her head. She wore a gray slytherin quidditch t-shirt and a pair of dark green checkered sleep pants. She hadn't put in her contact lenses so she had on a pair of normal black glasses.

Once she was satisfied with her appearance, she calmly walked into a cream colored hallway. She walked up to a white door that had the words 'Harry's Room' painted on it and placed her hand on the black knob. She took a deep breath and cleared her mind of any negative emotion.

"Harry, my love, are you awake?" She asked quietly as she entered the small nursery her only son was living in. The room itself was on the smaller side and was painted a light blue. Shelves full of toys and baby supplies that lined the perimeter of the room. Harry's crib was placed in the middle of the room and had a small set of dangling birds above it.

The baby in question looked at his mother and frowned. For all his worth, Harry simply couldn't figure out why his mother was here. While he didn't have a sense of time yet, he knew that 'sleep time' and 'no light' time went together. So why was his mother here he thought to himself.

"Muma?"

Lily tried not to shudder when she heard her son's voice inside of her head. She still couldn't get over the fact that her son, her little Harry, was a Natural Legilimens AND Occlumens. She remembered the first time that it happened. She was sitting in the living room of the cottage playing with Harry when she felt something speak in her mind. She nearly had a heart attack when she finally figured out that it was Harry speaking to her.

"Harry, I need you to drink something for me," She softly said, snapping out of her memories once again. "It might taste a little yucky, but it will do some really good things."

Harry used what little upper body strength he had, and pulled himself up onto his feet. He nodded his head and opened his mouth. Usually he would fuss with his mother, but right now just didn't feel like the time. He drank the clear liquid and shook his head when he was finished.

"It yucky," He said inside his mother's head.

"Yeah," Lily chuckled as she vanished the bottle. "Mummy thinks it's yucky too." She then walked in front of the crib and knelt in front of it. She looked into her son's brilliant green eyes and held back a sob. "Harry," she brushed her hand against his cheek and smiled.

"Harry, Mumma is going to have to fight very soon." She kept her emotions in check while trying not to look her son directly in the eyes.

"This is an important fight and will be her last. Mumma will always keep you safe, but soon Mumma won't be here. Soon Mumma and Dadda will be…asleep" She sobbed. She didn't even bother to keep the emotions bottled at this point. She knew she wasn't going to survive. She knew as soon as she felt the first detection wards fall that she and James weren't making it out alive.

She always thought that her last moments would have been sitting on the beach with a drink in her hand, smiling peacefully as death claimed her. Not in the presence of her only son. Hell, she didn't think she would die before the age of 50. And she very well could have lived till 50 if it hadn't been for one man. The man who ropped her into all of this.

Albus Dumbledore

Lily knew that her life had been ruined as soon as that meddling fool put her and James bloody fucking Potter as head boy and girl. She knew that there was foul play at work when he hosted a party for the prefects, head boy, and herself to help promote 'house unity'. She wasn't deceived. But none of it mattered in the end. All the years of planning and maneuvering had failed. She was the one who got drunk. She was the one who got pregnant. She was the one who got married. And now, she was the one who would be the ultimate line of defense for her only child.

"Lily! She's here! Take Harry,run away and hide!" She heard her husband yell from the bottom floor.

'Yes, let's hide in the invisibility cloak that you let Dumbledore borrow. Oh and run away in a house where there is only one entrance and no access to the Floo. Oh and let's not forget the Anti-Portkey and Anti-Apporation wards surrounding this entire BLOODY FUCKING HOUSE!' She angrily thought as she pulled herself off off the ground, taking one last look at Harry who was carrowing in fear in his crib.

"Don't worry,my love. Mummy is going to protect you. " She said after taking a deep breath to calm her nerves. She looked at her wand and smiled softly. "Alright my old friend, let's go out with a bang."

"I certainly hope so," Said a confident female voice from the open doorway. "I was quite disappointed in the fact that the first thing your husband did was look at my chest instead of raising his wand to defend himself." She continued in a mocking tone.

The woman stood at a rather tall 5"10 and had a very curvaceous figure which was highlighted by the visible amount of thigh and chest which was showing in her tight black dress and heels. She had pitch black hair which fell to shoulders and an ovular face. She had very pale skin but did wear a small amount of blush on her cheeks to make her look natural. However, her most striking feature was her sharp green eyes.

"Well if it isn't Amy Melovota Riddle," Lily confidently said while raising her wand out in front of her. "I'm sorry the hospitality wasn't to your liking, tho I'm afraid we won't have a chance to correct it in the future seeing as you're going to die here."

Lady Voldemorte chuckled at the redhead standing in front of her. "Yes, it's quite disappointing really. I would have loved to have met my younger cousin. And from here he looks to have inherited his mother's eyes and cheeks." She giggled a little, making the already high stress situation more jaring.

"I would even be so inclined as to say that he would have been quite the lady killer when he's older." She joked. "However," she dramatically sighed. "With the way I see this going, he won't be making it out of this night alive."

"I wouldn't say that just yet Amy. All you have to do is turn around and leave. We'll be gone before you can sneeze." Lily said with a forced smile.

"It's not that I don't think you wouldn't do that," She deflected smoothly as she took a step further into the room. "It's just…I don't want any loose ends. However, there is a way we can avoid this silly game."

"I'm not joining you! I said no for a reason."

"Yes…" Voldemorte drew out while twirling her wand. Her eyes slowly moved around the room as she continued talking. "It was such a disappointment to learn that the smartest Slytherin in the last 30 years after yours truly didn't take up my offer of being her right hand."

"I decided a long time ago that I wouldn't be controlled. That I would answer to no one!"

"And how did that end up hm?" Voldemorte asked, her smirk once again present on her face. "You ended up one of the old man's chess became the very thing you hate most. You became reliant on someone." Voldemorte took another step into the room and continued talking.

"But, you didn't let that stop you. No no no. There was a reason that hat put you in the House of the Snake. You still soaked up every piece of magical knowledge you could find while under the old man's watch." She cupped her younger cousin's cheeks gently and looked her dead in the eyes.

"You very well could have been one of the most powerful people in history, but yet look at you. Staring down your killer. All because of the decisions of idiotic men!"

Lily looked at her cousin, her only remaining piece of family left, and kept a straight face. She knew that there was no use getting emotional. She was, after all, right. She was a Slytheirn for a reason. She had always been very adaptable, and resourceful. She always wanted to be ready for whatever happened.

While she would admit that being married to James sucked in more ways than one, it gave her unlimited access to one of the largest and most diverse Magical libraries in the world.

"Amy, I'm not scared of you. I never have and I never will be. If you are here to kill Harry, I won't let you. One way or another you will not be leaving this room the way you came in."

Lady Voldemorte laughed while taking one last look at Harry who was sitting at the far corner of his crib. She then gripped her wand and pointed it at Lily. "I'll give you one more chance Lily. I don't have to kill you tonight. All you need to do is join me and all of this will be in the past. We can rule this country together! We can shape society in our own image! " She pointed her wand at the child in question who shuddered.

Lily took one deep breath and pointed her wand at her cousin. "I've had some shity men in my life. From my grandfather, your granduncle, who beat my father who then went on to neglect me and my sister. All the way to Dumbledore and the idiot James Potter." She took a deep breath and glared at Voldemorte, who took another step backwards.

"But Harry will forever and always be the most important male in my life. And I will do everything in my power to love and protect him." Lily shouted while channeling her magic throughout the room

"If you want Harry," She gripped her wand tightly and pointed it at Voldemorte's chest. "You'll have to get through me!" She flicked her wand and sent a bombarda straight at her cousin.

"Well," Lady Voldemorte said after tanking the explosion with a shield charm. "You're already putting up more of a fight than your husband." She flicked her wand and banished the dust and debris off of her dress and smiled. "Now, let's dance!" She grinned why sending a volley of curses towards her cousin and her child.

Lily effortlessly deflected and parried the curses. She watched as the multiple different colors of magic sailed effortlessly away from her and Harry. She knew that she had to be on her absolute A game if she wanted Harry to survive.

"You want to dance?" She asked while also softly smiling. "Fine then, let's dance!"

Lady Voldemorte continued grinning and sent a killing curse towards Lily. The curse flew through the air but was suddenly stopped by a flying metal bird. Voldemorte looked at her cousin who had transfigured all of the toy birds into real flying metal death darts.

"I'm glad that O+ in Transfigurations is coming in useful" Voldemorte quipped while conjuring a giant serpent out of a pencil. "Let's see if you can truly go above and beyond!" She flicked her wand and in addition to the serpent sent a stream of fire towards the young mother.

"Aguamenti, Glacius Maxima, Bombarda!" Lily screamed while dealing with the serpent, who had somehow made its way to Harry inside of his crib. She pointed her wand and moved it into a circle, causing the serpent to turn into a stuffed snake toy. She then looked back to see Voldemorte sending a blue killing curse towards her.

She sidestepped the curse and slashed her wand towards Voldemort who's eyes narrowed at the sight of the curse. The white curse sailed towards its target who deflected it with a flick of her wand.

"You think a curse made by that idiot potions master is going to stop me?! Come now Lily, even you're not that stupid." Voldemorte shouted with a smirk on her face.

"No, that wasn't supposed to faze you, this was!" Lily smirked and flicked her wand upwards. While she had sent the curse, she had been manipulating the ice in the room to turn into Lave and go flying towards the Dark Lady. All while this was happening, Lily waved her wand around her head and caused her previously transfigured birds to fly into the lava and turn into large lava birds.

Voldemorte saw the birds and quite literally blew them away. She pointed wand at the birds and a jet of yellow light hit the birds all at once, causing them all to turn into pebbles. She glared at Lilly who already had her wand ready for another spell.

"Avada Kedavra!"

"Reducto!"

What happened next could only be described as pure pandemonium. Both the spells clashed in mid air and fought for dominance. It then became a battle of wills between Lily and Lady Voldemorte. Both witches were struggling to continue the spell stream.

It wasn't until they felt the floor start to create did they stop. Voldemorte was the first one to stop the flow of magic. Once she did that, she put up a hasty shield charm to stop the incoming reductor curse.

This was when Lily chose to truly go on the offensive. She waved her wand in the shape of a 'b' and pushed her wand forward, causing a stream of green light to erupt from her wand. The spell, which was one of her own design, flew towards Voldemorte and hit her square in the left shoulder. Blood erupted from the wound and started to leak from it.

"First blood," Lily muttered as she continued to move her wand in a circular motion, causing the blood to move and start to form a rope-like substance around Voldemorte's neck, strangling her.

"Finete!" Voldemorte gragled while sending out a pulse of magic so strong, it shattered all the windows in the house. She then glared at Lily, who was in the middle of another charm, and wandless sent a dark red beam of light towards her.

Lily instantly recognized the curse and screamed. She could have easily dodged the curse, but one glance behind her made her aware that if she did dodge, it would have hit Harry. She took a deep breath and readied herself for the unbearable pain that was the Cruciatus Curse.

Pain immediately coursed all throughout her body. She bit back a scream and glanced at a toy train that was at her side. She wandlesly sent the train rocketing towards Voldemorte. The train hit the evil witch in the side of the head, causing her connection on the cure to fail. This did not stop her from sending another volley of curses towards Lily.

Voldemorte grunted while widely waving her wand to destroy the train. She had enough of their current fight and knew that she needed to take it up a couple notches if she wanted this to end. "I thought that this little game would have been over by now." She said while kicking the ashes of the toy train she just blew up. "It seems that this is going to be a…much longer duel than I had originally thought. No matter." She looked at her opponent and grinned. "I think it's time we took off the gloves, isn't it?" She asked while shifting into a much tighter dueling stance, one that she was not previously using.

"Now," She pointed her wand at the red-head and grinned. "Show me the true power of Lily Evans! The Ice Queen of Hogwarts, 5 time World Dueling Champion. The youngest Transfiguration and Charms Mistress in Britain, and the only person I ever truly feared!"

Lily took a deep breath and opened her eyes. Gone was the frantic mother trying to protect her son. Here was the smartest witch in her class, a proclaimed prodigy of charms, transfiguration, and potions. Here was the person who was said to only rival Albus Dumbledore in power. Here was Lily Evan, the brightest and most powerful person in the last 25 years.

"You want me true power?" She asked while glancing at the shattered window. "Fine, you asked for it." She quickly flicked her wand and sent a golderly beam of magic from it. The beam wrapped around Voldemort's waist ,and flung her out the window and into the dark open street below. Lily looked back at Harry and kissed her on the forehead.

"Don't worry love, Mummy will be right back." She smiled and jumped out of the window and charmed a flower to grow and bring her to the ground. Once she was on the ground, she flicked her wand and caused several chunks of concrete to start floating into the air. She yelled and sent them flying at Voldemorte who grinned.

"Yes! Give me everything you've got! Make me feel alive again!" The Dark Lady yelled while blowing up the projectiles and turning the remains into a large concrete golem. Lily's eyes narrowed when she saw the ten foot tall monster. She glanced at the shingles on the roof and used her magic to send them flying towards the monster.

"Respirate in Veta!" Lily screamed while twirling her wand around in the form of a circle. Lily watched as she created three large seven foot tall monkeys made out of roof shingles, lava, and concrete. "Attack!" She pointed towards the golem who roared at the animals and they charged towards it.

Sensing that something was wrong, Lily ducked her head and turned towards Voldemorte, who was sending spell after spell towards her. "I hope you didn't forget about little ol' me!" The dark witch screamed while slashing her wand in the air.

"How could I ever forget about you!" She put up a shield and blocked the curses while summoning wandlesly sending a fire hydrant flying. A high powered stream of water shot into the air. Lily then pointed her wand at the water and sent it all flying towards Lady Voldemorte and the golem.

"Fiendfyre!"

Voldemorte summoned the demon flames and laughed widely. She never summoned these flames unless she truly needed them.

Lily saw that Voldemorte was temporarily distracted and smirked. She slashed her wand towards Voldemorte's chest and watched as the curse hit its target. She then pointed her wand at the blood and smirked.

"Sanguis Flammei!" Lily pointed her wand at the blood on Voldemorte's shoulder and watched as it caught on fire. She looked at the golem who was being overrun by the monkeys and smirked. She thrusted her wand upwards into the sky and shot a beam of magic so powerful, the clouds parted. She then extended her arm towards the downed Voldemeote and screamed "Fulgur Imbrem!"

Out of the sky came a giant lightning bolt so bright, anyone in the street would have thought it was the middle of the day instead of the middle of the night. The bolt hit Voldemorte directly in the head. She could feel the powerful electricity run through her body. Had it not been for the quickly summoned and transformed rubber tire, she very well could have been dead where she stood.

Lily, however, was not done yet. She pointed her wand at one of the cars in the street and sent it flying towards the downed Dark Lady who blew them up, causing a large explosion to rock the street.

Voldemorte pointed her wand at a giant flaming fall of car wreckage and conjured it into a giant flaming metal snake. $Attack the girl!$ She hissed while pointing her wand at Lily who's eyes immediately narrowed.

Lily took a deep breath and started floating up in the air. She knew she couldn't hold this for very long so she maximized her time and started chanting in latin. All while this was happening, large flaming arrows were forming in the sky above her.

"Pluviis Virtutis!" She shouted, flicking her wand downward. All the arrows were then sent down upon Voldemorte and her giant flaming metal snake. All of the arrows flew towards their targets with amazing speed, but Voldemorte was somehow faster. She dodged all the arrows with precision and even rerouted some of them back towards

She pointed her wand and Lily could see a tornado forming and her eyes widened. "Melin help me," she mumbled as she lowered herself to the ground and started madly waving her wand around in front of her.

As the tornado came crashing down in front of her, Lily had conjured up a giant wall of ice and rock. She tilted her wand upwards and then, with all her might, pushed it into the roaring cyclone. She then moved her wand effortlessly towards the mass of ice, rock, and wind and transformed it into a giant dragon. She pointed her wand back at Voldemorte who was looking at the giant beast with wide eyes.

"KILL!" She screamed while also using external magic to break all the windows in the area and send a gust of sharp glass hurtling towards her cousin as well.

"Bloody fuckin hell!" Voldemorte screamed while she tried to apparate away. She quickly realized that there was no avoiding this. She started doing complex wand motions and tapped her heart. Once she was finished she focused all of her magic in front of her and screamed. "Clypeus Avelonis!"

A large seven foot tall golden shield appeared around Lady Voldemort and surrounded her entire body. The dragon flew head on into the golden magic but was battered away. It then launched multiple attacks at the shield but again nothing worked.

Finally, Lily decided to switch tactics. She banished the dragon and used the same materials to become pulverized dust particles. She then sent them under the shield and started to choke Voldemort who had to disable her shield in order to banish the materials that were currently choking her.

While this was going on, Lily was preparing her most powerful spell. This was her most powerful summoning curse and she prayed to Lady Magic herself that it worked.

She gathered as much magical energy she could muster and started funneling it into the sky. She then pointed her wand up into the air and could feel the magic starting to condense into a ball, and after 30 seconds, she knew it was ready.

"Eat this cousin!" She screamed while pointing her wand at a struggling Voldemorte "Infernus Tempestas"

A giant ball of raw condensed magic slowly fell down towards Voldemorte, who had actually dropped her wand at the sheer size and might of the magic she was seeing. Never in her entire life had she ever see something so destructive and…beautiful. Once she realized that there was a real possibilityof her dying, she picked up her wand and started trying to figure out a way for her to survive this. "Well…" She said as the glowing ball of death approached her. "This is gonna hurt"

When the ball of condensed magic exploded, it caused an explosion so large that it instantly vaporized half of Godric's Hollow. Only the houses behind Lilu were still mostly intact, and even then they were still on fire or heavily damaged. Even her own house was missing the entire roof and back wall. However, the real damage was in front of Lily.

Every house and building before the Potter's cottage was gone. Replacing them was a giant crater filled with water, dirt, and bites and pisces of homes that survived the blast. Trees were uprooted, pipes were now mangled messes of molten metal, and even the grass was charred and burned.

Lily panted heavily and turned towards where she thought the monkeys she had given life to were. When she saw them further down the street over a dead golem she smiled.

She was about to dispel them, but then remembered the sheer amount of magical backlash she would take if they were destroyed.

"Come on Black, where the fuck are you?! I can't keep this up forever!" She shouted impatiently as she waited for the dust and debris that was floating in the area. The spell she just cast would have normally killed any other wizard, but she knew that Voldemorte had survived. She took this opportunity to catch her breath as she waited.

"I'm impressed, if that attack hit me, say, 2 years from now, I would be dead." Voldemorte staggered to her feet, blood caked on her body, dress ripped in places, and her face covered in soot. "I didn't even know you knew magic that powerful. You truly are the best of the best Lily. But unfortunately, this fight has to come to an end." She pointed her wand at Lily and smirked. "Frangere Ossis, Reducto, Flagellicorpus" She shouted as she watched Lily attempt to put up a shield.

Lily shielded against the first two curses, but was unfortunately hit by the last spell. She screamed when she felt as though she was getting lashed by a flaming whip. She collapsed to the group and coughed up blood. While she was on the ground, she pointed her wand at a metal fence and shot it towards Voldemorte's leg.

"If I'm going down, you're going down with me you bitch!" Lily screamed while summoning the still alive monkeys to Voldemorte. Lily herself knew that pretty soon she would be on her last legs. She also knew from previous experiences that Voldemorte was also approaching her limit as well. She looked at her house and started to stagger towards the door.

"Where are you going?" Voldemorte asked while blowing up one of the monkeys. "Am I boring you? Do you need a nap Lily?" She asked while firing multiple curses at the women's back. Lily didn't have to look to defeat the spells. She just continued to walk towards her door. She stopped and nearly collapsed when she felt the backlash from the monkeys finally hit her.

"Oh no, is this fight finally catching up to you Lily? Are you feeling a bit sleepy?" Voldemorte taunted knowing full well she was also absolutely exhausted. "Let me give you something to be awake about!" She pointed her wand into the window of the nursery and smirked. "Bombarda Minima!" She shouted as she watched the roof in Harry's nursery collapse.

"HARRY!" Lily screamed as she sent an explosion curse towards Voldemorte that was so powerful, it blasted her through five houses and a quarter mile into the woods. She raced up the stairs and found that Harry was absolutely fine. She breathed a sigh of relief and looked at her watch. "The Liquid Luck should still be active for another four hours." She then looked at her child and chuckled. "I'd love to see that bitch Alice give her precious little Nevile Liquid Luck" She picked up Harry and blew a raspberry into his tummy which made the child giggle.

"Oh Harry," She sighed as she felt tears fall down her cheeks. This was it. This was the last time she would ever hold her son and she knew it. Bellatrix and Sirius weren't coming. Amelia wasn't coming. For all she knew, she was alone in the world with her child.

"Harry my love how I want to watch you grow up. How I want to see you on your first day of primary school and your first kiss. How I want to see you off to Hogwarts." She sobbed as she hugged her child. "There are so many things I want to say to you, my son. You are my legacy, my image. My everything." She flicked her wand and summoned countless books, papers, important documents, jewelry, a stack of letters , 2 photo albums, and a box full of corked vials that each contained a silvery liquid. She took the last empty vial and placed it into her hand. With the other hand, she moved the top of her wand to her temple. Slowly but surely, she started to a silvery stand from her head. She placed the stand into the vial and conjured a cork.

She placed the vial in with the rest and closed the box. She neatly arranged all the items into an old, dark green truck that had the initials L, B, and E on it in gold.

Once the items were away, she reached into her pocket and pulled out a beautiful silver necklace with a swan on it. She took her wand and started to mutter charms on the necklace which then started to glow. After a few seconds, the necklace stopped clowning.

Lilly then grabbed Harry's blue baby blanket and placed her wand into it. She looked at the wooden item which had served her well and kissed it. "Thank you my old friend." She smiled as she brushed over the groves and ridges of her first and only wand.

"Thank you for serving me so well. May you serve him well too." She then took off her own matching gold necklace and wedding rings and placed them onto the blanket. She then rolled the blanket up in a silver ribbon.

Once the final package was placed into the trunk, she walked over to Harry and pricked his finger. She waved her hand over the blood and moved over to the trunk, adding it to the blood lock system so that he could one day access it.

When that was finished, she shrunk the trunk and turned over the silver swan and pressed her finger onto the tiny rune she had made. She summoned the last of her magic and moved the trunk into the rune. By the end of the process, Lily was exhausted. She had sweat pouring down her face, shaky hands, and was heavily panting.

She took the necklace and moved over to Harry who looked at his mother with concern all over his face.

"Mumma!" He shouted while trying to figure out what happened to his mom.

Lily chuckled softly and leaned down onto the crib. She knew that she didn't have a lot of time before Voldemorte would be back after being blasted through several houses.

"Harry, I need you to listen to me very closely." When she saw the child nod his head she smiled.

"This necklace is very special. I didn't have enough time to charm it to keep you safe from everything, but it will protect you to an extent. It will also not be removed unless you yourself remove it. No one else can touch it. There is also a special surprise but you'll find out on your 13th birthday." She explained with a giggle at the end. She for some reason knew that Harry would remember parts of this conversation. She lifted him up and kissed him on the forehead. She took one last look at his brilliant green eyes and smiled.

"Harry, Mumma loves you. She loves you so much. She will always love you. Mumma has done a lot, but creating you was the best thing she ever did. Harry, be safe. Harry, be strong. And always remember that I will always love you. I will always be watching over you." She sobbed sadly as she placed the necklace onto his neck and watched it shrink and glow. She stood up when she felt Voldemorte finally enter the took one last look at Harry who was silently crying before turning around to wait for the end.

It took Voldemorte 25 minutes to walk back into the nursery, and when she did, she looked like an absolute wreck. Her naturally shiny black hair was frazzled and charged with chunks of it missing. Her usually pristine skin was covered in dried blood, fresh blood, soot, dirt, drywall from homes, and a variety of bruises. Her outfit was torn in many different places, and it barely kept her modesty intact. She entered the room and let out a sigh.

"I will admit, you were and always have been a worthy adversary Lily Evans." She said tiredly as she slumped against the wall.

"I have not been tested like that in a very VERY long time. If not ever." After taking a few seconds to collect herself, Voldemorte pointed her wand at the red head who smirked.

"My Amy, had I not just been dueling you for the past hour and a half, I would have thought you were a hooker from Knockturn Alley." She giggled at her disheveled older cousin. "But yes, that was a most excellent duel. However, it doesn't change anything."

"Yes I know, however, I was asked to spare you by one of my servants." She explained after rolling her eyes at the sheer ridiculousness of the situation. So I must ask one last time, step aside and you shall live." She said lazily and half heartedly.

"Let me guess, Snape?" She asked with a smirk. She didn't need a verbal confirmation, as the snort from Voldemorte said it all. "Yes, it's quite unfortunate that he hasn't gotten over his feelings for me. Especially after I got pregnant with that buffoon's child."

This did get a laugh out of Lady Voldemorte. After letting her laughter run its course, she looked at the red head in front of her and sighed sadly. "It's such a shame I have to kill you Lils."

"Yeah Mel, it sucks. But I'm not going to be controlled. Not by you, not by Dumbledore, not by anyone." She said, her voice hardening like steel. "At least I get killed by someone who I respect."

"I always did respect you." Voldemorte said before lowering her wand down to her side. "Hell, they were right when they said I feared you. You aren't even in your prime and yet, you went toe to toe with me. Only Dumbledore could do that. And after the battle we just had, I'm not 100% confident you would beat him." She chuckled softly and looked into a pair of matching green eyes.

"That's why I feared you. Hell that's why Dumbledore feared you. You would have been the most powerful witch in history. Your potential was unmatched by either of us." She explained with a sad smile. "If this fight had been in 4 years, I would have lost. I mean a Blood Magic Charm?! Who thinks of that? And let's not even begin to talk about whatever the fuck that last attac was! I don't even know how I survived that!"

Lily smiled and shook her head. "I think you'll find that I still have a few more tricks up my sleeve." She said cryptically. "Plus, I'm sure you know very well how you would have survived that attack."

"So you know then?" Voldemorte asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Oh I've known since 4th year when I found it for the first time."

"For someone who knew, you sure did put up a valiant fight."

Lilly shrugged her shoulders and smiled. "As soon as I felt the first wards go down, I knew there was no hope. James was a moron to put all his eggs into Dumbledore's basket. I thought that I could stall and wait for my other friends to get here, but as you can see, they didn't show up." She sighed and rubbed her eye in annoyance.

"My only option was to go out in the best way I knew how. By winning the best duel of my fuckin life." She laughed while smiling at her cousin who laughed with her.

"Well, I think you achieved that, Lils." Voldemorte said with regret in her voice. "Maybe in another time, we could have been partners, or even friends." She whispered the last part as she watched the mother move around the room. She had nothing but respect for the mother who was about to look death in the eyes with nothing but a smile.

Lily walked over to Harry and gently whispered into his ear causing him to fall asleep. She rocked her child in her arms one last time before kissing him on the forehead and placing him down into his crib. After calming herself, she walked back over to her cousin and sighed.

"Yeah," Lily glanced at Harry one last time and smiled. "I guess I did that."

Amy Riddle took a deep breath and raised her wand and pressed it lightly into her cousin's chest. "Are you ready Lily Bethany Evans?" she asked while preparing herself for the spell she was about to cast. She looked at her cousin, her enemy, her motivation, and sighed. She knew this was it. She was just glad she could help usher her to her new home.

"You know what they say," Lily opened her eyes and smiled gently at her cousin who couldn't help but shed a tear.

"The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death."

Alrighty, I know some of you are going to be hissy about a lot of stuff in that chapter. I'm not here to explain it away in an AN because that's dumb and I'm not doing it. EVERYTHING you read will be explained at some point in this story. What I do not need nor want is a bunch of people saying "Why did you change xyz? What do you mean 'cousin?' Why are they..." I dealt with it for the Naruto fic and I'm NOT dealing with it again. I understand this is the internet, but PLEASE don't just review saying that because this isn't canon it sucks.

Yes Lily is a Slytherin
Yes Voldemort is Female
No I won't tell you who the paring is
Yes Lily and Voldemorte are related
Yes I know VOldemorte is spelt without the 'e' (it's because it's French)
