James Fleamont Potter, a tall man with messy jet black hair, was sitting on the couch in the Living room of their house at Godric Hollow. He was playing with his son, Harry, who was trying to catch the colorful fumes erupting from the end of his wand. Who was the greatest blessing for him and his wife, Lily. He was about to end their playing session when suddenly a patronus came in the room. It was a dog and he recognized it as that of Sirius Black, one of his best friends. The patronus spoke in the same voice as that of Sirius.

"James, Peter was the spy. He has told the dark lord, he is coming. Secure yourselves and Harry. I and Dumbledore are coming." He took a few seconds to process it, Peter, That rat. He felt his blood boil. He shook his head, this is not the time.

"LILY!" he shouted to call his wife. She was there in a second.

"James, what?" she asked but he interuptted before she could ask anything else, "He is coming, let's take Harry and leave." But that was too late. The Dark lord was already at their gate which was visible from the window, a dark hooded man with snake like appearance. "Lily take Harry and run!" he shouted but his wife shook her head, "No, I can't. We can both fight." he wanted his wife to be safe but he did not have the time to argue. They both grabbed their wands and ran in the corridor leaving Harry in the Living room. Voldemort burst the door open and there started the fight, a fight to kill, a fight to save his family. He was firing curses at an unimaginable speed and he could feel his wife doing the same. They had to save their son. He shielded his wife from a deadly curse from Voldemort but the curse deflected and penetrated the wall of the living room. Voldemort noticed the baby sitting at the couch, ignorant of what was happening. Time seemed to become slow at that as Voldemort fired the Killing curse, The Avada Kedavra, at their son. He and Lily both casted a protection spell in front of Harry as the front door opened revealing two figures, one Albus Dumbledore, the greatest wizard of all the times and the other Sirius Black. There was a blast as the killing curse from Voldemort, penetrated their shields and everything went black.

James Potter woke up at a familiar place but he couldn't quite recognize it. He blinked a few times and groaned, his whole body was aching. People around him, heard him and he could fell them running towards him.

"James," someone called but he was blurred due to his pathetic vision. He tried to reach for his glasses, but couldn't find them. Someone put on his glasses on his face and he regained his vision. He sat up and focused on the people around him. At his left side, Remus Lupin, his best friend was standing and on the other was standing Madam Pomfrey.

"Welcome to the living, you have been unconscious for two days" she told him. He slowly processed what had happened. He remembered everything that happened, The Patronus from Sirius, Voldemort, their duel and Harry. "Harry,' he asked, wishing that nothing had happened to him.

"He is fine," Remus told him but he didn't believe him.

"No, where is Harry?" he asked again.

"He is fine, James, Mary was holding him just now and she gave him to McGonagall who took him to have some fresh air," he assured as he patted his back. He was in the hospital wing at Hogwarts. McGonagall entered the room holding Harry, "Harry," he called, McGonagall handed Harry to him who was perfectly alright except that if a lightning shaped scar. His green eyes staring at him as he tried to clutch his face. Suddenly, it hit him, "Lily, Where is Lily?" he asked but no one replied. No, no ,no , It can't be. His Lily, his love. She was pregnant. No. His eyes were wide open.

"She is alive but," McGonagall told him, and a wave of relief went across him.

"But?" he asked.

"She is injured, the fact that she was pregnant and the fight-" Remus told him," she was transferred to St. Mungos. But she'll be fine. James."

Anger and hatred boiled in him for the person who caused her to end up in there. He would kill Voldemort.

"I will kill Voldemort! " he shouted, banging his hand on the side table.

"James relax," Remus said, pulling him into a hug, " there is no need to kill him now. He is dead or almost dead according to Dumbledore."

He found himself dumbfounded. "How?" he muttered.

"Its just, when you and Lily shielded Harry from his curse, it deflected and fell on him. There was a blast and You , Lily, Sirius and Dumbledore passed out. And he escaped barely alive." he told him.

"Where is Sirius and Dumbledore?" he asked, trying to understand everything.

"They are fine," he told him.

"But where is Sirius?" he asked.

"He - he," Remus muttered going pale.

"What Remus?" he asked. Harry had now slept in his arms.

"He went after Peter, and cornered him near Leaky Cauldron and," he said

"And?"

"He dueled him and blasted a whole street full of Muggles. Twelve mughles and that Peter," he could feel the hatred in Remus. "got killed. The only remains of Peter was a finger. And irius was arrested by the Aurors and he was laughing when they caught him, James."

He felt as though a bucket of cold water had thrown upon him. Sirius cannot do it. He cannot even hurt a fly.

He was shaking.His brother, Sirius, his kind, sympathetic figure.

"No he cannot kill any of them. Sirius is Innocent. " he muttered.

" I believe that too but There is no evidence in his favour. His wand was destroyed which could have been last piece of evidence. They don't believe that memories could do any good. No one lets us meet him, no letter could be sent to him. Crouch didn't even hold a trial for him. He's just shutting Death Eaters and Criminals in." Remus told him.

"Take this, James." Pomfrey said, handing him a potion.

"And Mary?" he asked, worrying about her. She was going to have a baby, Sirius's baby.

"She's just-" he said, " passing her days. She tried everything to meet Sirius but they don't allow."

"I'll go to the Ministry." he exclaimed.

"They are not listening, James. Death eaters are being captured and their trials are being held. Crouch has gone mad in order to get power." He said.

I cannot let Sirius go to Azkaban. It is hell.

"I want to go to see Lily. And I'll ask that Crouch to let me see him. To let him have a trial at least." he said.

"Okay we'll go. But a bit later, you rest for a while now." he said, pushing him down towards the bed. He took Harry from him who was cuddled in sleep. Remus_ old friend Remus. How foolish of me to think that you were the spy. He didn't know when he slept but the only dream he had was that of Sirius and Lily.
