So on Halloween Harry's parents were killed and he almost was too except somehow he sent the Dark Lord into seclusion first. Sensing something was wrong Severus rushed to the house in godric's hollow, fearing the worst he quietly ran upstairs into Harry's room. Seeing Lily lying there on the floor he looked around to make sure Harry wasn't dead too, once he saw Harry crying he too started crying for Lily. Once Severus had composed himself he took one last look around the room, collecting any items that might be of use and scooped Harry up. Once he was back at Hogwarts he went straight to the headmasters office./span/p
