Chapter 1 I'll always be there

Lily Evans Potter was awoken by something. She wasn't sure what .She looked around the dark bedroom. Outside the storm was roaring like mad and she could just feel her heart beating faster. Coldness gripped her heart as she stared out the window into the stormy night. She sensed something creeping up her skin and made her hair stand on end. She felt something. She felt something inside her, around her and it was pushing her in every which way. That was the feeling Godric's Hollow always give her.

The thunder struck and shecould see the outline of the old oak out side her window. She reached over the form of her little son, Harry, and grasped around, hoping her fingers would touch a mop of untidy black hair and the warm flesh of her husband. But there was nothing

She satup at once, her hand reaching for her wand in her trousers' pocket. She hadn't change into her pajamas. It wasn't necessary here "James?"

She looked around the dark room but her eyes couldn't see anything. The dark was crushing her with no mercy. Lily was a very brave and talented witch but somehow, she had always been afraid of the dark. She felt that it could find her anywhere she goes and crush her until she's nothing more than dust.

With a shaking voice, she muttered "Lumos"

Her wand ignited and she used the light to surveyed Harry. He was fast asleep, his eyes tightly close and he was breathing lightly. Lily reached out to stroke his untidy black hair that was so much like his father. He seemed so peaceful and untroubled and she wanted to share his feelings.

Remembering her missing husband, she slided out of bed and pick up her sleeping son in her arms. With her wand held out in front of her, she walked slowly to the door.

The thunder strucked again and she thought she heard a loud crack! Thinking she must be hearing voices, Lily turned open the door and walked quietly downstairs, her heart thumping so fast she felt it was going to jump out of her chest

She opened the door of the small living room and there, under the light of a lamp, James Potter was sitting hunch over a book. His hands were shaking and his eyes weren't darting across the page at all. Lily stepped closer and the floorboards creaked beneath her feet.

James' head shot up immediately and his wand was drawn out in a flash.

"James, it's me" Lily whispered, her voice breaking

"Lils" his voice was breaking too but he did a better job than Lily to keep in slightly steady "Why are you up?"

"I was awoken by something or…." Her voice trailed off "someone"

James didn't answer. He just stood there looking at his young wife. Her red hair streaming down her back and her green almond shape eyes were wide her gripped on their son was tighten and she wrapped her fingers around her wand so tight that her knuckles were white. .But he still think that she was the most beautiful woman in the world

He stared at her and then tears started to make its way down her pale cheeks. Her lips were trembling but she still stood there with Harry in her arms and her ignited wand held out.

"Lily?" Are you alright?" his voice was comforting, like rain on a hot summer's day and Lily felt her heart welling up. She needed him, more than anything now. She walked towards him and finally broke into a panting run. She threw herself into his arms and wept. She rested her head on his chest. He was warm, comforting and strong. She was glad to have him with her.

James wrapped his arms around his shaking wife and held her close "It's alright, Lily. I'm here. I'm always here with you"

Lily buried her face in his neck "Oh, James….I'm scare"

"It's going to be alright. We're going to be fine,Lils. Trust me"

"James, I'm not afraid of dying. I've never been afraid of dying. But I'm afraid for Harry, James. He's so young and so…defenseless."

James bit his lips and whispered into her hair "Me too but we have to have faith"

"In what, James?"

"In Harry and in love"

Lily looked up at him, her eyes welled with tears "I'm so glad you are with me"

"And I always will be"

Suddenly they could hear the front door being blasted open. The thunder strucked again and Lily felt a chill swept through her. Then there was a laugh. The most terrible laugh she had ever heard.

This cannot be happening. He found us

Harry started to cry and then James bent down to kiss his wife, a long sweet, memorable kiss that sent tinkles down to Lily's toes. She held on to him. She didn't want to let him go.

But then he stopped and backed away. His eyes were filled with tears too as they heard the door of their bedroom being blasted open upstairs

"I love you, Lily"

"I know" Lily felt her lips trembling and she couldn't see anything through the curtain of tears. "I love you too" she whispered back

"Lily, I want you to take Harry and run. It's him"

Lily voice turned to a hoarse whispered as she looked up at the face of the man she knew she will always love "I know" she said "And I'm staying with you"
