AN: I do not own Harry Potter

Lily held Harry tighter as she looked up at Hagrid; seeing him brought back memories of Hogwarts. The tears fell rapidly as she berated herself for not saying yes the first time James had asked her out; they could have had so much more time.

"What are you doing here Hagrid?" Sirius was slightly suspicious of how quickly Hagrid had arrived.

Hagrid looked from Sirius to Lily, and back again; the confusion clear in his eyes. Dumbledore had told him Lily and James were dead.

"I'm 'ere on Dumbledore's orders. 'E wan's me to take little 'Arry ter 'is aunt…" Hagrid trailed off while gazing at the child who was only just beginning to settle.

"Why did Dumbledore send you?" Sirius sensed something wrong. He had come straight here after finding Peter's place deserted. Nobody knew the Potter's had been betrayed. "How could he have possibly known to send you?"

"'E said 'e 'ad sensors to inform 'im if somethin' wen' wrong. 'E said to get 'Arry and take 'im ter 'is aunt, where the blood wards can keep 'im safe."

"As you have probably noticed Hagrid I'm – as his mother – am capable of keeping him safe."

"No' sayin' yer can't Li'y," Hagrid looked at her carefully. "bu' Dumbledore said tha' on'y 'em muggle rela'ives o' yer's can. I suspec' 'e though' yer were dead. Bes' give 'Arry ter me, and I can take 'im ter 'is aunt 'hile you go and see Dumbledore." Hagrid didn't want to anger Lily but he had been given orders.

Lily glared at Hagrid, and watched with slight pleasure as he shrunk back. The Evan's temper was one to be feared. Lily's face quickly darkened to match her hair before she exploded.

"IF YOU THINK – EVEN FOR ONE MINUTE – THAT I WILL LET YOU THAN YOU ARE INSANE. I WOULDN'T LET DUMBLEDORE HIMSELF TAKE HARRY TO MY SISTER. I WILL NOT ALLOW PETUNIA TO ABUSE MY SON THE SAME WAY SHE ABUSED ME." Lily balanced Harry on her hip as she stormed forward and angrily poked at Hagrid's chest. Lily's voice became deadly quiet as she continued. "You go and tell Dumbledore that I will decide what is best for my son. It's Dumbledore that got us into this mess in the first place."

Hagrid was silent; his eyes remained wide. It was quite a sight to see a man cowering in the presence of a woman one third his size. Hagrid chanced a look to Sirius who nodded for him to take his leave before turning on his heel and jogging away.

"Lily," Sirius put a hand on her shoulder. "We need to get out of here before the Aurors show up. I don't fancy a trip to Azkaban; I have the strangest feeling Dumbledore would arrange it."

"We should go to Gringott's," Sirius continued. "If we are going to run then we'll need supplies." Lily nodded. She was too upset for words, yelling at Hagrid had taken the last of her strength and all she could do was hold Harry tight and allow Sirius to guide her to the bike.

Review make me happy :)
