Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter… or these lyrics

Something didn't feel right as I slid Harry into his pajamas. I shook it off as he giggled playfully at me as I kissed his forehead tickling him softly. He looked so much like James. I picked him up and spun him around giggling. I froze as the distinct sound of someone apparating echoed from down the street. I shook it off, as I looked down at my beautiful son, thankful that we were safe now. I heard the kitchen door of the kitchen open, expecting to hear James switch off the lights to come to bed. Instead, he yelled frantically. " GO! LILY! GO! TAKE HARRY AND RUN! " I heard him locking all the doors. " I'LL HOLD HIM OFF! TAKE HARRY AND RUN!"

I closed my eyes and focused on my sister's home and make a quick spin to my left. I didn't disapparate and remembered that Albus had put an anti-apparating spell on our house. I clung to Harry as I fell to the floor beside the bed, out of sight, sobbing, hearing footsteps coming swiftly up the walk. I whispered to him softly.

Hold on to me love. You know I can't stay long. All I wanted to say was I love you and I'm not afraid. Can you hear me? Can you feel me in your arms?

I heard the front door blast open and swift footsteps on the rug. A cold, high, empty voice was growling. " Stand aside, boy. All I want is the boy. STAND ASIDE!" This was followed by the sounds of curses being exchanged.

Holding my last breath? Safe inside myself? Are all my thoughts of you? Sweet rapture and light, it ends here tonight.

A bright green life filled the house, and I winced holding Harry even tighter as I heard James, my beloved husband, fall to the floor. I was sobbing harder now. Harry had begun to cry too, afraid, I guess, from my own tears.

I'll miss the winter, a world of fragile things. Look for me in the white forest hiding in a hollow tree, there you'll find me. I know you hear me. I can taste it in your tears.

I could hear Voldemort ascending the stairs now, opening doors one by one. I was shaking kissing my little boy between my last words to him.

Holding my last breath. Safe inside myself. Are all my thoughts of you? Sweet rapture and light, it ends here tonight.

The door handle twisted and opened. Everything seemed in slow motion as I cradle my child to my chest.

Closing your eyes to disappear. You pray your dreams will leave you here, but still you wake and know the truth- no one's there.

He stepped into the room now, looking for me, starting with the closet.

Say good night. Don't be afraid. Calling me, holding me, as you fade to black.

He stopped at the bed and I scrambled to my feet facing him, clutching Harry tighter.

"Stand aside silly girl!" he growled. "Put him down and stand aside. You needn't die for him."

"No!" I whimpered. "Please, take me instead. Kill me. Not him, he's only a baby… please."

"You waste my time." His hand began to raise, wand at the ready.

Holding my last breath, safe inside myself. Are all my thoughts of you? Sweet rapture and light.

" Avada Kedavra."

I felt the wind and death speeding towards me. I kissed my baby one last time and whispered.

It ends here tonight.

FIN!
