Note: Well folks, this is officially the end. It was lovely being with you all through this though. In reality, this is only the END of the BEGINNING.
Epilogue
James bravely faced the Dark Lord in the hallway, how could he have been so careless to leave his wand on the couch. Peter had been a rat after all, at that moment James was wishing that he had insisted on having Sirius as his secret keeper. Him or Remus, but Lily and James had chosen Peter and now they were paying for it.
"Lily, take Harry and go! It's him! Go! Run! I'll hold him off!" He shouted down the hall as the Dark Lord slithered his way up the stairs toward him.
His last thought as the Dark Lord screamed "Avada Kedavra" was of his beautiful wife that he had won over in his last year at Hogwarts and of his son who looked like him, but had Lily's gorgeous eyes.
"James, no James!" Lily screamed holding baby Harry in her arms as she heard her husband drop to the floor dead. The door was closed and little Harry was wide-eyed. She placed him in the crib carefully as the Dark Lord smashed the bedroom door down.
"Stand aside girl." He hissed at Lily as she stood protectively in front of her son.
"Not Harry, please no don't kill him, take me, kill me instead-"
"This is my last warning-"
"No Harry! Please… have mercy… Not Harry! Please- I'll do anything…" Lily was practically in tears.
"Avada Kedavra!" Voldemort cried and Lily fell to floor and as Harry sat in his crib looking at the man then at his mother he began to cry. Voldemort felt weakened, he didn't know why but before he lost his nerve he cried the same spell again. He was blown to bits destroying the house and leaving a baby crying in the crib.
P.S. Note: If you want another story to read you could try Lily's Revenge, which is a "technical continuation" of all my James x Lily stories. It takes place just after this epilogue. Please leave me a final review! ~May Reach
