For once Severus Snape stared in front of him, he was sitting in his room. Lily had been up early, and had been doing her 'Snape is a monster' routine, which made it only harder for him to talk to her. He had to admit, even for him she started to get annoying. He wanted to lock her in her room, until she just shut up. But this was not about Lily Evans. This was about Minerva McGonagall, the woman he'd called his mother in law for nearly 4 years. To him Minerva was a stubborn annoying woman, a woman that would have done anything to sabotage his relationship. On the other hand, he wouldn't kill her over something like that. She also had a very kind nature, towards her grandchildren. She would spoil them under presents, and give snappy comments about how they didn't get any of his biology. And how lucky they were that they looked like their mother.
'Kill Minerva McGonagall..' He heard the dark lord in his head. Why would he ask that? Was the witch Minerva McGonagall that dangerous? She was just a transfiguration teacher. An unlucky woman in love, and so much more. But nothing that could make her a danger to Lord Voldemort. What should he do? He couldn't harm a hair on her head. Leyla would harm him, if he did. Even if it was just to keep his cover. He thought off Leyla, about her long wavy blond hair in the sun. She was beautiful, he remembered that. It had almost been a week, a week since that Halloween night that changed everyone's life. That night were Harry Potter became the boy that lived.

"He's going after them.." Leyla turned to Snape "We've got to do something, anything. Severus, Peter Petigrew betrayed them. He's on his way to their house as we speak! We have to save them."
"Ley, please.." Snape turned away. "There's nothing we can do, he's going to kill them. We can only hide from him for so long. If you save the boy tonight, he'll keep trying until he succeeds in killing Harry Potter. We both know it.."

"God damn it, Severus!" Leyla stepped away. She pointed to the window, causing the picture on the cabinet to fall down. "I didn't know you were anywhere near that selfish. I mean, they are our friends! Our friend Severus! And you are so calm, they are going to be killed."
"If we stand up against him, it's our heads on the plate!" Snape replied "I mean it's not like you were born as something he likes. We both know you are born .."
"Less? Is that what you mean?" Leyla screamed to him. "That my birth right is not so great as yours! Is that what you mean?"
"Leyla, I don't want to fight.." Severus replied "Let's just leave it here, we have to be in Hogwarts in 10 minutes. To get the twin. Just stop it."
"Not until I hear we are going to do something!" Leyla stepped over the glass. "Do something to stop him! I can't stand here, while my best friend and her son die! And what about James he never deserved anything like that.."

"If there's one guy that disserves this, it's James Potter!" Snape replied
"So bullying in High school is that bad?" Leyla replied "You're pretending like no one cared for you during High school! You were not a James Potter, but I do remember that I was there every single moment of your life. And you never appreciated it. You just go on and on about how mean James Potter was to you. But High school is over, and he changed. Yes, what he did was mean and cruel. But dead is a bit cruel, don't you think? Are you forgetting he saved your life once? You owe this to him!"

"I owe nothing to that disgusting pig!" Snape grabbed her arm. "You have no right to say that I owe something! I owe him nothing"
"Right, you owe him nothing!" Leyla pulled her arm free. "What about Lily?"
"Lily will be unharmed.." Snape turned to her. "He promised me.."

"You what?" Leyla slapped him in the face. "You would do such a disgusting thing? It's okay that he kills her husband and her kid? But let her be alive without any? Severus, are you kidding me? You're so cruel, you only think about yourself.."
"I was thinking about Lily.." Snape replied "I was.."
"No, you weren't.." Leyla replied "You asked him for her life! Not for Harry's or James' life! You gave him the green light to destroy her whole family! Think about us! What would you do if James fancied me. What would you say if he gave the green light for killing you, Selena and Katherine. But he told him to spare my life, because he would have a free pass to make a move on me. What would you say?"

"I don't want…" Snape replied "It has nothing to do with it. Those situation are totally different."
"They're not.." Leyla replied "You could have talked to Dumbledore, you could have talked to anyone. But you asked him. He who must not be smelled.. You asked him for a favor.. How do you think Lily will feel when she finds out Harry is dead? How do you think she will feel? She'll want to be dead to. If it were me, I'd jump of a cliff. Just to stop feel pain."
"I talked to Dumbledore to.." Snape replied "That's why they went in to hiding."
"But you still thought about yourself first.." Leyla replied "If you really cared for Lily, you would have.. You told Voldemort about the prophecy, about everything. Anything that happens now is on you!"

"Okay, can we stop them?" Snape turned to him. " Do you have a plan?"
"I think that I could use something.." Leyla replied "This would cause something.."
"What will it cause?" Snape stared at him.
"That's it.." Leyla turned away. "I don't know what will happens exactly."

Snape closed his eyes for a moment, he didn't want to hear her voice in his head. It was like a video that kept playing over and over again. It paused at moments. He was a jerk, a selfish jerk. But he had agreed with Leyla's plan. Which he was skeptic about. It had driven him here. To the place where he became a bigger liar. A killer to Lily Evans. A good follower to Voldemort. A thief for Minerva McGonagall. A spy. And to his eyes, he was a void that couldn't be filled. He stared around, did he want to be the killer of Minerva McGonagall? No. He had to talk to the one person who knew what to do. 'Dumbledore'. He took his broom, and stared at the dark sky.

I hate it here!Lily put the wavy letters on the paper. It didn't replace the ears of James, he would always listen to her. Most of the time he would nod in understanding, even when he thought she was just saying silly things. He was the man she loved. And now he was gone. He wasn't coming back, which made her so scared. It was a week ago, a week since that fatal Halloween night. She released an angry tear on the paper. 'Selfish man', her head cursed.

I could slit his throat, I could kill him for doing what he did. Lily was not surprised by that anger in her writing. She stared at her pen that rolled over the paper. Severus Snape, asked Voldemort to spare her life. And Voldemort compared her to a pet. Like she was some kind of dog that was put down. Like he thought of her as an animal. But she didn't think. If she could kill both man, she would do so in a heartbeat. To take revenge for her sons dad, and her husband. Lily took the teddy bear from her bed. She had no idea where it came from. She threw it to the wall.
"Liar!" She screamed. "You selfish murderer!"

She slipped of the bed, and paced around in the room. There were some things she hardly remembered form that fatal night. Others were very clair.

"What's that?", Lily Evans heard a door open up. "James?"
"I'll have a look.." James replied "Probably just a kid, playing around.."
"James, that's just it.." Lily replied "Our house is under a fidilius charm, no one would see it. It's not Sirius right? He was telling that.."
"Yeah, he was doing something for.." James replied "I'll go check things out.."

"Okay." Lily said as she took Harry from the bed. She sat down, and stared at the TV that was not playing. She worried, but she knew that Sirius liked to come over unexpected. This was just like all those times. It was normal."
"Go it's him.." James ran up the stairs. He looked worried. "I'll hold him off! Take Harry and go!"
"James, I can't go without you!" Lily took his hand. "We can run as a family."

"No, Lily.." he stared at her. "I can win us time, you take Harry. Climb out of the window, save him. Please, Lily. Go!"
"you'll be right behind us?" Lily started to cry. "Right?"
"I'll be right behind you Lily.." he stared at her. "He's not getting passed me!"

"Okay.." Lily ran up the shallow stairs. She had Harry in his arms, she closed the heavy door behind her and pushed a heavy cabinet in front of it. She cried as she heard Voldemort's snakelike voice. She turned around, heading for Harry's bedroom. She slowly put the baby in the crib.
"Don't worry Harry!" Lily replied "Everything will be okay."
Lily stood up, pushing the cabinet in front of the door. Just like she did to the other door to the stairway. She turned around, heading for the window. Slowly she stepped to the window. In her mind she heard screams, she could almost see green like light. Her eyes teared up.

She started to pull her the window.
"God damn it!" Lily cried "Please open up! Please open up!"
"A stupid cabinet won't stop me!" Voldemort's voice came from the outside of the room. "Lily Potter!"

She turned around to Harry. Her tears rolled over her cheeks. She turned to the window, once again she tried to pull it. She could feel it was frozen from the outside. She wouldn't be able to pull it open. Slowly she turned to the door, a heavy vase was leaning beside it. 'Thanks Petunia', she thought as she slammed the ugly vase to the window. Lightly shattering the glass. She turned around to grab the broom that was behind it. She took it, smashing it to the window. The glass shattered. And the way out was opened, she turned to Harry.
A hush explosion followed. One that almost blew her to the floor. And there was he, the pale man that was known as Voldemort. A name that caused the entire wizard world to shiver in fear. He stared at her. She knew she couldn't make it to the window. She knew that he would kill her if she did. There was no way out.

"Step away.." Voldemort's voice was high and pitchy. Just like a friends she knew, but unlike Leyla his voice captured fear and murder, where Leyla's was pure joy. He stared at her.
"You don't have to die, just step away and everyone will be fine.." Voldemort laughed.

"Please not Harry!" Lily screamed "Kill me, but don't kill Harry.."
"Step aside you stupid girl.." Voldemort pointed his wand at her. "Now!"
"Please not Harry!" Lily screamed it out. "Take me instead. Please, don't kill Harry.."
"This is my last warning.." Voldemort screamed.
"Please don't kill Harry. Have mercy!" Lily stared to cry. "Please don't kill Harry. I'll do anything. Just don't kill Harry please!"

"Step aside girl!" he heard her say, green light was the last thing she saw before darkness took over. The green light that brought dead with it.

Lily opened up her eyes. Even now she didn't understand how she survived. How she had seen her baby die. She hadn't but she knew. Harry was dead. Guilt took over, if she had been faster. If she just smashed the glass faster. If she had listened to James, if she just ran right away. If she just did more, tried harder. Maybe Harry would have still been alive. If she smashed the glass right away, she would have made her way outside. She would have run. There was no way Voldemort would sense what direction she would have taken. She could have flown anywhere. Hogwarts? Her home town, anywhere. But she had to be stupid. She had to try to pull the window. While she knew it was very cold outside. Somewhere inside it was her fault that her baby was dead.
She grabbed the broom, smashing the window in the guest bedroom. The glass broke just like that. Lily started to cry.
"It's that simple.." Lily replied "It's that simple, you selfish cow!"

She sank to the floor crying. Once more again she grabbed a heavy statue. She stared at her own reflection. Her green eyes were eyes she couldn't see. The pain in them was to real to face.
"You coward!" She smashed the statue to mirror. The pieces fell to the floor. "You could have saved him! You could have.."

Lily fell to the bed crying. She put her head in her arms, and cried. She kept seeing different scenarios. She could have hid Harry in the house. She could have attacked Voldemort with the vase Petunia had given to her. But instead she had waited in the room, like a selfish little mouse. Leyla wouldn't have done that. She would have been brave. She would have stood up for her family. Just like James had. She , Lily Potter was a scared mouse. Still was. She looked at her bag. She smiled as she took a knife from it. Voldemort was going to pay. Lily smiled. She was going to make him pay.
