"Lily my love!" James yelled up the stairs.
The small frame of Lily Potter ran into view "James, I just put Harry down, shut up!"
James smiled at her, "Sorry Lil."
Lily went back in and turned off Harry's light and looked at him, he looked just like James, even at the young age of one he looked like his daddy, except his eyes, he deffinatly had his mums eyes. She kissed him lightly and whispered, "I love you so much Harry." and went down grabbing a book on the way.
She sat next to her husband of 3 years on the couch and opened her book.
"Jeez Lil, your just like Remus, always reading." James said kissing her.
"Yea, Yea, you married me you know." She smiled
He looked proud, "I know!"
She giggled and leaned against him.
They were like that for about an hour when James heard something crash outside, too near their house. "im gonna check that out, stay here Lily." James looked out the window, there were multitudes of death eaters walking right toward their house, with Voldemort at their lead.
"Shit! Lily, look, I need you to floo to Remus's and hide, tell him to get the order here, ill protect Harry, theres no time for you to get him."
"James Potter, I'm not leaving my baby."
"Fine!" James took a hand of floo powder and threw it into the fire and pushed Lily into the fire place and whispered, almost inaudibly, "moony's place."
All Lily saw as she started to spin was Voldemort break in the house, and James running to the back steps.
--------------------------
Remus had just finished his long bath and had sat in his big chair with a book. something was not right, he didn't know what, but it was enough he wanted to see Sirius, James and Lily, just to make sure they were okay.
Suddenly Lily Potter came flying out of the fireplace. "dammit James!" she said half crying and heading back to the fireplace to look for the floo powder.
"Lil? Whats going on?" Lily turned to see Remus wide-eyed, she broke down crying.
"My baby Remus! James shoved me into the fire place, all I saw was Voldemort, and Harry is upstairs, the order." She cried harder.
"I'll fix this don't worry." Remus was so pissed at Sirius, he was the last person that would ever go to the Dark Lord, why did he tell about Lily and James?
Just as Remus was going to floo the headquarters Sirius walked in with Peter, and Peter was bloodied up pretty good.
"What the hell did you do Siri?" Looking at Peter.
Sirius saw Lily laying on the ground crying, Sirius snatched Peter up harder, "You see Lily Peter, you stupid shit, you did that to her! You told Voldemort about her, now look, if Harry or James dies, I will kill you Peter. Thats the last time i think Peter will be the best secret keeper of us, i should have just stayed secret keeper, or had Dumbledore do it."
With that Sirius apparated out to Jame's house.
Remus tied Peter up and punched him, then flooed Dumbledore, "Its began Dumbledore, go to Jame's house, Peter rated them out, we have to hurry."
"So be it, we will be there shortly, apparate, its safer."
Remus turned around to Lily, still on the floor crying. "I am going to go fight with James, I'll try my beast Lil." he gave her a hug and whispered, "watch Peter, well turn him in when were done, remember, he did this to you." with another hug Remus left.
"PETER, YOU SNIVELING STUPID SHIT, I SHOULD KILL YOU!" Lily screamed, she walked into the kitchen and made a cup of tea and cried staring at Peter with hate in her eyes.
---------------------------------
James ran up to Harry's crib trying to gather his things when he heard the doorknob turn, it was Snape. "Snivellus, should have know."
"I couldn't have asked for more, DARK LORD! POTTER IS HERE!"
"Don't touch him Snape, I wanna finish him myself."
"You ass-hole, my baby is here!" James said to Snape
Snape's eyes went wide, but he covered it, he didn't really want Lily's son dead, o whell, comes with the job.
"Potter," Voldemort hissed, "now i get to kill you and your son, look Snape, you get your wish, Lily isn't here, so she won't die... today."
James sneered at Snape and started throwing curses, he could hear Sirius and Remus, and was that...Dumbledore, thank God he was saved.
"AVADA KEDAVRA" James saw a green flash, he threw himself over Harry, he was hit in the back, the last thing in front of his eyes was Harry, and he could hear Voldemort laughing.
"Now for the child." Voldemort walked over, "Avada Kedavra" the curse bounced off Harry like he was wearing a shield, leaving only a lightning bolt cut on his forehead. Voldemort screeched as the curse hit him square in the chest.
------------------------------
Lily dropped her cup to the floor as pain rushed through her body, the magical bonds between James and herself snapped, and the magical bonds between Harry and her were weakened slightly. Lily looked up, tears streaming form her eyes, "no" she whispered.
