Disclaimer: checks Nope. Still don't own HP.
AN: Alright, the other chapters were written after I was up for, like, 18 hours. I'm fine with the writing of them, but the catagorization and such were way off. Had to fix that.
Alright, on to...you guessed it, Lily.

There was no escape. James had to know that, but still he threw himself into the path of the maniac to buy her time.
Buy me time for what! Lily thought frantically, How can I protect Harry when there's no where to go? What if Dumbledore's plan doesn't work, and my death proves meaningless?
The red haired woman gave a dry sob, He can't die! Please...
There was a crash behind her, and Lily turned to see the creature that had become Voldemort. Her eyes widened in horror as she saw the smeared blood on his left hand. Did he find some horrible way to kill James? Why couldn't he at least have done it painlessly!
"Move, I did not come here for you." the man's high voice was without emotion.
"I won't let you hurt him! He's just a helpless baby!"
His dark eyes narrowed slightly, and his thin lips twitched into a sardonic smile, "If you thought that, you wouldn't be hiding here."
"We're only hiding because you want to kill an innocent baby!"
The 'man' sighed, "Women. Move out of the way, you don't have to die too...not yet."
"Is that what you told James before you killed him!"
"No." he replied coldly, "That man was much too infuriating to be allowed to exist."
"You're horrible!"
The man pointed his wand at her. "Move. It's the last warning I'll give you."
She hesitated for an instant, then lunged for the cradle, and curled herslf protectively around Harry, who sat looking up at her with wide green eyes. Harry...please...survive...grow up and be just like your father.
Voldemort gave an irritated hiss, "Blast you, woman! You didn't have to die!"
She heard an angry growl, and a bright green light enveloped her.
"HAAARRYYY!"

AN: Well, this was shorter than James', I suppose, but they aren't supposed to be long! They're one shot peices after all!
And, in case you couldn't tell, the last line was supposed to be the distinctive scream that Harry hears when he first encounters the Dementor.
angeltread: I'm glad you liked it. Yup. He probably irritated the pants off Voldy in their encounters. XD
