Prologue

Severus Snape sat on the couch in his living room deep in thought. He was thinking about the prophecy that he had just overheard.

"No! Over my dead body will I allow him to kill Lily Evans." Severus Snape said to himself as he got up off of the couch. He then apperated to Hogwarts to find Headmaster Albus Dumbledore. He did not have to go far because Dumbledore was standing right in front of him.

"Albus, please you have to save her..." Severus pleaded before Dumbledore even had a chance to speak. "Please save her!" Albus was confused, he did not know who or what Severus was talking about.

"Save who, Severus?" Albus asked.

"Save Lily, the Dark Lord is after her child." Severus said with tears starting to form in his eyes. "He was born at the end of July, and the prophecy states that the child was born at the end of July." Severus said as he began to cry. "I will do anything for you if you just keep her safe." Severus said as he got down on his knees and begged the headmaster. "I will be your spy, and will no longer side with the Dark Lord. Any information I get from him, I will report it to you. Just please keep Lily safe." Severus begged again.

"Sure Severus, I will send them into hiding." Albus Dumbledore said as he gave Severus a serious look. "But you must promise not to betray me." Albus said in a very serious tone.

"Albus, you have my word as long as you help Lily and protect her from Voldemort." Severus said as he walked off.
