Chocolate Frog: Silver – Boggart – (Challenge) Write about a character's worst fear

He's here

James Potter placed his wand down on the table, his infant son Harry was worn out after a day of flying around on his broomstick, and trying to chase all the bubbles that he conjured with his wand.

Going into hiding had been hardest on his son who hadn't taken kindly to being cooped up twenty four. Every morning, afternoon and night, Harry would point at the window and silently beg to be able to go out. He hated saying no to his sweet son.

James walked over to the window to close the curtains for the night, and was alarmed by what he saw.

Lord Voldemort.

Lord Voldemort walking up the path to his house.

He spun around and raced to find his wife who was half way up the stairs with their son Harry.

"Lily, take Harry and go! It's him! Go! Run! I'll hold him off!" he whispered urgently to his wife.

If his last act on this earth was to prevent his worst fear from coming true then so be it. As long as he knew that his wife and son had gotten out of the house and to safety he would be able to die a happy man.

James moved to head Voldemort off at the door, feeling around for his wand and quickly realised that it wasn't on him. He could not and would not get his hands on his precious boy. He had to make sure of it. James ran towards the living room to grab his discarded wand.

"Avada Kedavra," the dark wizard cried, pointing his wand at James and sending greens sparks flying in his direction which hit him squarely in the back

James' last thoughts were of Lily and his son Harry. Please let them have got to safety.
