------------------------------------------------

The rain was pounding against the window panes in the late evening storm. The thunder boomed and lightning flashed through the sky. The room was dark and the windows were misted slightly. The only sound in the room that was not produced from nature was the crying of a woman. The woman, who was slightly rotund, had her head bent into her hands. Tears streamed down the woman’s face like the rain streaming down the window pane. Her shoulder length, red hair was in a messy state as if she had just gotten out of bed. She placed her hand onto her belly and sang soothing words to her baby. She looked at a clock as the hour struck twelve. All of a sudden she felt her heart pound uncontrollably and she let out an audible scream.

A man was walking down a street with a stick protruding from his tightened fist. This stick was called a wand and the man was named James Potter. His head was slightly stiff, and his footsteps light as if he was listening for a sound, no matter how faint it was. He mumbled a word and all of a sudden the end of the wand lightened. He squinted towards a shadowy corner. He gasped as figure walked out of the shadows pointing a wand at his heart.

No one could hear Lily Potter scream. She glanced to her bedside table. Her wand was lying there. If only she could get to it. She stood up, panting slightly and reached for her wand. She felt her baby kick and she screamed again, falling to the floor.

James Potter looked at the man who came out of the shadows. His scared expression immediately turned to a grin as the man dropped his wand recognizing his best friend.
“Sorry James,” Sirius Black said, “I thought you were a death eater.”
“Don’t worry Padfoot, I thought you were too.”
The men embraced, slapping each other on the backs.
“James,” Sirius said, a frown starting to form on his face, “shouldn’t you be with Lily?”
“I was just stepping out for a little while.” James said with an innocent look on his face. “Anyway, the baby isn’t due for another two weeks.”
“I don’t know Prongs.” Sirius said shaking his head. “I don’t think you should leave her. You never know, the baby could always come early.”
“Ahhhh… don’t worry about it Padfoot. If something happened, Lily could always cast her Patronus and tell me to come.”
“Yeah, I guess you’re right. So, have you talked to Moony or Wormtail recently?”
“Not really. I haven’t had much time to visit anyone watching over Lily. They sometimes drop in to say hi,” James said, “but they leave because they have to do something for the Order.” He added bitterly.
“So I guess that’s why you left for little while; to get out of the house?”
“Yeah. But Lily was asleep so I don’t think she’ll even realize I’m gone. When she sleeps, she’s out like a light. But don’t worry. I told Wormtail that I was stepping out so he’s going to check on her.” At this exact time a small mousy man appeared at James and Sirius’s side. Before they could greet their friend, Wormtail spoke.
“Remus sent me to tell you James; Lily’s about to have the baby."

Hi!!! Here's the next two chapters! I sort of had a small writers block so they aren't the best chapters ever.
-----------------------------------------------------------

James stared at Wormtail. He started to mouth wordlessly until…
“OH MY GOD! OH… OH…! WHAT THE…?! I’M GOING TO BE A FATHER!!!”
Sirius hushed up James as he and Wormtail grabbed they’re friend and apparated on the spot.

The three men appeared on a deserted lane with the rain pouring down in buckets. A cottage was in front of them. James splashed up the front lawn with Sirius and Peter on his heels. They opened the door finding Remus sitting on the couch with a very white face. Seeing his friends run into the house he stood up.
“The Healer is here. She’s upstairs with Lily… James, go on up.”
James nodded to Moony and ran upstairs, jumping three steps at a time. Sirius and Peter plopped down on the couch next to they’re friend.
“So? What happened?” Sirius asked. “How did you two know about Lily?!”
It was Peter who answered.
“Well. Earlier in the day, James asked for me to check on Lily because he was going to get out of the house later. I said yes so I planned to show up. I… I fell asleep though. The storm woke me up and I remembered my promise to James. I apparated over here and I heard a heck of a lot of screaming from upstairs, followed by a thump. I ran up there and saw Lily on the floor withering screaming… words… I sent a Patronus to Remus telling him to get over here. I tried to lift Lily up back onto the bed but she was twisting and turning not allowing me to get a firm grip on her.”
“Just then,” Remus began. “I arrived. I heard Lily screaming upstairs so I ran up there. I saw Lily withering while Peter was trying to pick her up. I helped him get her onto the bed and told him to go get James. I sent a Patronus to Lily’s Healer and she arrived seconds later. She told me to get downstairs and wait for James because the baby was coming. You three arrived seconds later and, you know the rest.”
Sirius gaped at them stunned. Then his face broke into a wide grin.
“I can’t believe it… our Lily and James, LILY AND JAMES, are about to be parents.” He said.
The three of them looked at each other stunned about this new information. Then they started to laugh.
“Anyway,” Sirius began. “What words was Lily screaming?”
“Well,” Wormtail gave Moony an uneasy look. “They came up to something like ‘being abandoned’ and ‘all alone’. It was really nerve racking hearing her saying such things.”
Sirius had stopped laughing. He had just thought she cursed or something along the lines. Not actually thinking she was alone.
“Poor Lily,” Remus spoke up. “The one night James isn’t with her, she goes into labor. James really isn’t lucky.”
Meanwhile, upstairs, a new life was coming into the world.


James had rushed up the stairs to help his wife. The moment he reached his and Lily’s bedroom he flung open the door. Lily was lying on the bed, staring out the window. The Healer was in a chair next to the bed writing on a clipboard. When she saw James enter, she smiled.
“Hello James,” She began. “Lily is doing quite well. We’re not all the way there yet but you can expect your son by the time dawn breaks. Lily actually wants to speak to you for a moment.”
“Of… course… yeah, thanks.” James said, looking at Lily.
He knelt down beside Lily taking her hand. She turned her head to look at him. Her eyes were swimming with fear, love, and… anger.
“Where were you?” she said, in a dangerous voice.
“Well, I know this is no excuse but I just left to go out for a…”
Then Lily started screaming at him.
“WHERE THE **** WERE YOU?! I THOUGHT YOU LEFT ME!! AFTER EVERYTHING WE’VE BEEN THROUGH! YOU SCARED THE…”
“Lily, LILY!!!!!” James shouted. “I’d never, NEVER leave you. I just went out to get some fresh air. I didn’t know you would go into labor the night I wasn’t here!”
Lily’s eyes filled with tears.
“Anyway,” James continued. “Why would you think I left you? After so long of trying to get you go out with me? After all of the times we shared? After all the times I’m longing to share with you? Just about to… take care of this wonderful child? Lily, I hope you’re excited, because I am. Lily. We’re going to be parents.”
James ended his little speech with a smiling face.
“Lily? I love you with all my heart. And when this child is born, I’ll love him with all my heart too! Wow! My heart is going to explode with all this love.” James added.
Lily chuckled. “I love you too, James. But you can’t leave me like that again. At least, tell me that you’re going to step out.”
“Ok. I promise. If I ever leave you without telling you where I’m going, you have the right to yell at me as loud as you want to.”
“Ok. Deal. But I know you never will.” Lily said looking at him with loving eyes.
James looked at Lily. Her eyes were filled with love and emotion. James took her hand and kissed her on the head.
The healer walked up with a smile on her face.
“Ok. It’s time.”

----------------------------------------------------------------


***Flashback***
“Hey! Lily! Wait up!”
It was the beginning of they’re seventh year. James and Lily had been made Head Boy and Head Girl. They were walking through the crowded halls coming out of the Great Hall after the returning feast.
“I guess I’ll talk to you guys later?” Lily said to her best friends, Alice and Mary.
“Yeah! We’ll wait up for you!” Alice called back.
“Hey Potter.” Lily grumbled to James as he caught up.
“Hi Lily. So I guess we’ll walk to Dumbledore’s office together?”
“Yeah, I guess.”
Lily was still slightly in shock after hearing that James was made Head Boy. She had no clue why Dumbledore had ever chosen him as head boy. Then again, Dumbledore had always been on the eccentric side.
“How was your summer? I heard from Alice that your sister got married. Congratulations!” James said, making a stab at a conversation.
“Yeah, she did.” Lily said rolling her eyes. Typical Alice, she had always gotten along with James’s little group. Little did James know she and her sister hadn’t gotten along since Lily had made it into Hogwarts. Of course he wouldn’t know that Lily’s sister had always been a touchy subject to cover with her.
Trying to change the subject Lily decided to ask James about his summer.
“Oh. It was alright. Sirius came to live at my house because he’s finally cracked at his parent’s house. We had a lot of fun hanging out, playing Quidditch, and Remus and Peter came over too.”
“That sounds like fun.” Lily said, secretly envying his summer.
“Exploding Bon-Bons.” James said, as they reached the gargoyle in front of Professor Dumbledore’s office.
The gargoyle jumped aside revealing a spiral staircase. James motioned for Lily to go in front of him. They climbed the stairs until they reached the door to Dumbledore’s office. Lily knocked several times on the door.
“You may come in,” they heard Professor Dumbledore answer.
They entered the office looking around. James, who had been in the office numerous times, was not too bewildered. On the other hand, Lily stared around, wide eyed. The multiple portraits of the previous head masters were sitting slouched in there frames. Some of them were dozing off. The different gadgets were feebly puffing smoke in their corner of the office. A magnificent bird, (Lily had seen this bird in her Care of Magical Creatures book and recognized it as a phoenix) was sitting on a perch in front of Dumbledore’s wide desk. The headmaster was sitting calmly in his chair, his blue eyes twinkling with amusement. James walked over to the phoenix and stroked his burgundy and gold plumage saying, “hello Fawkes.” The phoenix replied with a low quavering note that filled Lily with pride to be one of Professor Dumbledore’s students. Dumbledore gestured for them to sit in the two cushioned chintz arm chairs in front of his desk.
“I’ll say this as quickly as I can,” Dumbledore said serenely.
“First of all I want to congratulate the two of you for becoming Head Boy and Girl. I’m sure you both will not abuse your positions,” he said, his eyes lingering on James.
“You two have been chosen to take these positions not because of behavior, although that is a smaller trait of qualities we look for in Heads: but because you two have shown intelligence in your studies, loyalty to me including your teachers and the majority of your classmates, and if I do say so myself, you equalize each other in certain qualities.
Dumbledore paused for a moment.
“So, down to business. You, unlike the prefects are allowed to take and give points to and from students but if you see that the situation is leading towards major point deduction then you are to report them. You are also to patrol the corridors an hour after curfew each night, two hours on weeknights. Because of the workload you have during your seventh year, including your new duties and other commitments, you are to have your own office. You are allowed to go to your office at anytime. It is outside of the Gryffindor common room. It is behind the portrait of the four founders. The password is ‘Diligence’. There is also a small door leads directly into the Gryffindor common room. You also are allowed to continue to use the prefect’s bathroom. I think that is all you need to know. You do not need to patrol the corridors tonight. I thank you both for taking on this task.”
Dumbledore stood up and shook both of their hands. They walked to the door and walked down the spiral staircase. They didn’t talk until they reached the seventh floor.
“I’m going to take a peek at the office really quickly,” Lily said. “Just to see what it looks like.”
“Ok. I’ll come too,” James replied.
They walked to the portrait and said the password. The portrait creaked open revealing a spacious room. Bookcases stretched to the ceiling lined the walls. They were filled with books on every subject the school provided. Not only were they on the subjects but there were novels, muggle and wizard. There were small books, colorful books, huge thick volumes, dictionaries, guide books, a huge variety of books! The floor was carpeted with soft plush carpet. At the back of the room was a window that overlooked the grounds. A soft couch was in the middle of the room with two smaller reading chairs beside it. Two tables stood on each side of the couch holding two lamps that matched the comfortable feel of the room. On each side of the room were two polished oak desks holding reading lamps matching the two others by the couch. Comfortable chairs were placed in front of the desks. Lily examined one of the desks with a bright smile. James examined the bookcases grinning as Lily.
“I guess you’ll feel right at home here?”
“This is by far, the best room I’ve found in Hogwarts,” Lily replied.
They spent a few more minutes examining the room when Lily decided to go to bed. They both walked to the small door that entered into the common room and walked through it. Lily was just about to walk up the girl’s staircase when James stopped her.
“Lily can I have a quick word?”
“Oh great,” Lily thought. “He’s going to try to ask me out, again.”
“I just wanted have a truce between us.” James said, reaching out his right hand, waiting for Lily to shake it. “If we’re going to be working together I don’t want to waste time arguing all the time. I’m also sorry about the grief I’ve given you in the past.”
Lily looked at his hand. Was this some type of joke? I mean. Those words were coming out of James Potter’s mouth. The prankster, the most immature jerk in school, was saying an actual apology. Then again, it would be nice if she and James got along so he wouldn’t be annoying her all the time. Lily reached her hand across the space and shook James Potter’s hand. All of a sudden, James pulled Lily closer to him and kissed her full on the lips. Lily pulled away and stomped on his foot screaming, “James Potter you in-sensitive jerk!”
She gave him a look that would make the toughest man in the world squirm with fright and marched up to her dormitory. James watched after her with an amused expression and walked up the other staircase to the seventh year boy’s dormitory. And at that moment, when ever a person would ask Lily when she first truly fell in love with James, she would say that that kiss, started it all.

***End of Flashback***
Sirius, Remus, and Peter were sitting downstairs waiting for any news on the baby. They were joking around, reminiscing their days at Hogwarts, arguing about the baby and who would spoil him more.
“Well. I don’t care what either of you say because I’m going to buy him his first broom,” Sirius boasted.
“You probably will,” Remus began. “But I’m going to buy him his first wizard’s chess set.”
“I guess we won’t let James and Lily ever buy him stuff?” Peter laughed.
“Yeah, we can let them get him diapers, and boring stuff,” Sirius replied, chuckling to himself. “We’re going to be the best uncles ever!”
They continued to laugh about the baby, but upstairs was a different story.

As Lily lay in the bed, squeezing the life out of James’s hand, James felt so guilty for the pain Lily was going through. Out of all the preparations they went through getting ready for the baby, knowing it would be hard, James still felt a stab in the heart every time Lily screamed. The Healer said that all of this was natural. Not until they had given her the spells and potions did Lily finally stop screaming and loosen her grip on his hand. The Healer said it was alright to go talk to the guys downstairs because it wouldn’t be another half an hour until the baby would be born. James remembered his promise to Lily about never leaving her again unless she knew where he was. He declined and continued to stroke Lily’s hand as the time came closer until their child would be born.

5:23 AM-
“What do you think we should name him?”
“Harry.” Lily said looking at her child. “Harry James Potter.”
When Lily gave Harry his middle name, James stared looking like it was the happiest moment in his life. They watched their baby, sleeping peacefully in Lily’s arms. His small fist clamped gently in her red, fiery hair. At that moment, the rain stopped, the clouds parted as dawn slowly approached, bringing a new, and entirely different day.

------------------------------------------------------------------


***Flashback***
“Lily! Hey! Lily!”
It had been three months since the start of the school year. That day a note appeared on all of the common room’s boards. It told of an upcoming Hogsmede trip and a…
“Lily!” Alice called finally catching up to her. “Lily! It’s a dance! There is going to be a ball three days after the Hogsmede trip! Aren’t you excited!?”
Lily looked skeptically at her friend. When Lily was little she had tried to take a ballroom dance class with her father but, it hadn’t gone right. After just two weeks of the class Lily successfully broke her dad’s big toe and they couldn’t continue.
“Er… Yeah! It should be… great!” Lily nodded.
Hoping that Alice was joking about the dance, Lily decided to take a look at the notice herself.


“That’s the day before the end of term so everyone will be here!” Alice exclaimed over Lily’s shoulder.
Lily was cut short over her thoughts when James came over and tapped her on the shoulder. Lily had been as polite as she could be since the little incident after they saw the Head Office. She looked at James wearily.
“Lily, I got a note from Dumbledore tell us that we need to go to his office at afternoon break. The class before that is Potions so I guess we can just walk from there to his office?”
Lily nodded politely and turned away from him to continue to read the notice.



“Lily? We need to go to Transfiguration now.” Mary said, pulling her away from the notice.
Transfiguration went by as smoothly as any magic class would. Except for the fact that Peter’s eyebrows caught fire when he tried to non-verbally make them change colors. James and Sirius couldn’t stop joking about it until Professor McGonagall told them sternly to shut-up.
After class they quickly went down to the dungeons for Potions with Professor Slughorn. James, trying to impress Lily, worked as hard as he could during the lesson; but ended making a fool of himself because he got distracted and ended up with his potion bubbled over. This led to the already incompetent Love Potion turning into a slime ball that crawled up Snape’s back. Sirius and James laughed so hard that it led them to a detention which did not impress Lily at all. Although, when Lily and James said good-bye to there friends before walking to Dumbledore’s office, Alice secretly told James that Lily had to hide her head because she was laughing at Snape too.
They reached the gargoyle and said the password, ‘Sugar Quill’, and continued to walk up the spiral staircase to Professor Dumbledore’s office. They knocked on the door and heard an answering ‘come in’. They walked into the office and sat down in the two chairs in front of Dumbledore’s desk.
“As I’m sure you both have heard there will be a ball the day before the end of the term.” Dumbledore began.
“Yes sir.” Lily replied. “I was just wondering; excuse me, why we are having a ball?”
“Miss Evans, have you heard of the rising power of Lord Voldemort?”
“Yes sir. He is the cause of all the disappearances and deaths that have been occurring.”
“Yes Miss Evans. While we all remain safe here in Hogwarts, there are family members outside also being killed. I am simply trying to protect the students of Hogwarts. I wish to distract them of all this sadness and pain going on in the outside world. Which is why I have planned this ball, I wish for you two to plan.”
“Us?” James replied. “Plan a ball?”
“Yes Mr. Potter. I wish you to plan this ball. The prefects are to help you too.”
“Yes sir,” they both replied.
“For the more serious note,” Dumbledore said. “I have reason to fear that Lord Voldemort may be recruiting ‘Death Eaters’, which is what he calls his followers, at Hogwarts. I wish you to look out for any suspicious behavior to protect the students at Hogwarts, and these possible Death Eaters, from harm. If you have any evidence of a possible Death Eater than please report them directly to me.”
James and Lily looked flabbergasted at this new news, but they took it in anyway. They said ‘yes sir’ and left.
------------------------------------------------------

I hope you enjoyed the chapter. I'm leaving for my vacation on Thursday so I'll post the next chapter tomorrow hopefully or I'll post as soon as I get back! dont forget the feedback!!!! http://www.veritaserum.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=26273

I'm very very sorry that I haven't posted in so long. I've been so busy with other things since I've gotten back from my trip! Now that school has started i'll b even more packed with things. So... chapter 7 is here! Read, enjoy, and remember to leave feedback!



“Death Eaters, at Hogwarts,” James said, as they walked down a corridor to the Gryffindor common room. “I mean, why? Why would some nutter like Voldemort want Death Eaters at Hogwarts?”
“Haven’t you heard? Voldemort is afraid of Dumbledore. If there are Death Eaters in Hogwarts they can spy on Dumbledore for Voldemort. But I don’t understand why would Voldemort pick kids to be in his group? Wouldn’t he go for more magical power?” Lily added.
“It’s like you said Lily. He just wants them to spy on Dumbledore. Then when they’re out of school they can be of more help for him.”
“Yeah. I guess.” Lily said as they crawled into the portrait hole.
“See ya Lily! We should meet about the Ball during and after dinner.”
“Ok. I’ll see you later then.”

“You are planning the Ball?!” Alice said when Lily told her everything that had happened.
“Yep. James and I are. I hope Dumbledore doesn’t expect much. How can I plan a whole ball with James? I’ll go crazy before we even plan the decorations!”
“Lily, you know we’ll help you too!” Mary cut in.
“Yeah Lily,” Alice added. “You know that we won’t want to miss out all of the fun!”
“Ok then. We’re meeting after dinner in the office to start planning.”
“After dinner? Aw I’m sorry Lily. I promised Frank I’d have dinner with him today.” Alice said, looking disappointed.
“That’s ok. I’ll still have… Mary?”
“I’m sorry I can’t either. I have the Gobstones club. We’re meeting after dinner.” Mary replied.
“That’s ok.” Lily said; feeling a little disappointed. “Come on! We’ll be late for our next lesson.”
The girls chatted about the ball and Alice and Mary gave Lily tips for decorations and things like that.
“And you have to get a good band or no one will really want to dance. I guess you’ll need James’s help for things like that.” Alice said.
They continued to talk until they got to their Double Charms lesson.
“Good morning class!” Professor Flitwick squeaked. “Today we will be learning household charms. You have already learned of the cleaning spell but today we will learn the organizing spell. You must concentrate very hard as you attempt the spell because if you flick your wand too hard the objects you are organizing may attack you. The spell is non-verbal. Please turn your books to page 253 and read the chapter on performing the spell. Practice when you are done.”
The first few minutes of class was quiet with the occasional sound of a turning page. The class soon finished the chapter and began to practice the spell. Lily Evans got the spell right on her fourth try when she put a pile of books back in the bookcase. James, Sirius, Remus, Mary, and Alice soon got a knack of the spell as well. Poor Peter had the pile of clothes that were supposed to be folded force themselves upon him. He spent half of the class trying to get a choking tie off. James and Sirius laughed themselves hoarse at his humiliation.
“Well done class,” Professor Flitwick said at the end of the class. “To those who did not fully comprehend the spell kindly practice the spell before the next lesson. Have a good day.”
The class left the room chatting happily about the end of the day. Lily walked out of the classroom feeling slightly bothered. She did not want to put up with James fooling around while they planned the ball. She said bye to her friends and turned around to James following behind her.
“So, should we go eat dinner in the Head Office?” she asked James.
“Sure,” he replied. “By the way, Remus and Sirius want to help plan to if that’s alright. Peter has detention, so he can’t join us.”
Lily nodded secretly thinking that at least Remus would help plan while James and Sirius fooled around. The four of them headed off to the Head office while everyone else went to dinner.

Chapter 8

***End of Flashback***
Lights flashed. Green, blue, and red filled the sky. Lily clutched Harry to her chest. She ran, sweating, crying, she just wanted everything to stop. She heard James’s voice. It was angry but at the same time amused and almost bored.
“You were always a weak, sniveling greasy leech. You could never beat me!”
She came closer to the sound of his voice. She hid in the shadows, quieting Harry’s whimpers. A cold voice filled her ears. The familiar voice sent chills through her body. She peaked out from behind her hiding spot. Her old friend, Severus, eyes flashing with the reflection of the lights that shot out of both of their wands, stood fighting her beloved husband James. She watched the fight progress.
“You fought me because you were always jealous! I was Lily’s friend and you were just the big headed jerk that never could win a date with her!”
James snarled and sent another jet of light at him which Severus dodged. Lily watched with fear as the curse hit a bush. It burst into flame. Severus laughed loudly, a high cold laugh, one that Lily didn’t recognize.
“HAHA! You have to do better than that! You could never fight me without three of the stupidest dunces behind you! You have always been a coward.”
Severus shot another curse at James. James blocked it and immediately shot a purple, flaming jet at Severus. Lily watched the jet of light in slow motion coming towards him. He jumped out of the way. Lily threw her son out of the way just in time. The light hit and everything went black as Lily crumpled to the ground.

***Flashback***
TAP TAP TAP
“Let the meeting come to order,” James said.
James nodded to Lily and she stood up.
“I have broken down the plans for the dance. Decorations, music, publicity, and refreshments are the main things, unless you want a theme for the dance.
“We don’t need a theme,” James said.
Lily agreed with him. That would lead to more planning. She saw James way too much already.
“That’s what I thought. So… all we have to do is decide who is planning what. Decorations are self-explanatory. Music is the band. Publicity is reminding the students about the upcoming ball and refreshments are the drinks and food. Me being a muggle born, I don’t know that many Wizarding bands. I don’t think I should be in charge of music.
“Well said Lily,” James added. “Since I’m me, I already know about half the population of Hogwarts. I’ll do publicity.”
“Yeah,” Lily added. “half the population being practically all the girls of Hogwarts.”
Remus and Sirius burst out laughing.
“Yep, Lily knows me alright.” James smiled.
“I’ll do the food!” Sirius said brightly.
“No way! You’ll eat all of it before it hits the tables. You do the music, I’ll do the food.” Remus snickered.
“That is true so, whatever, I’ll do the music.”
“And I’ll do the decorations.” Lily added. “The prefects are supposed to help out too. Since the Slytherin prefects are probably not going to help we’ll just split the others out among the four of us. Remus, your still a prefect, right?”
“Yep. I’ll talk to the others at our next meeting.”
“Thanks,” Lily said. “Well, until our next meeting with the prefects, I guess this meeting is over.”
Sirius stood up and nodded to them all. He said in the best casual voice he could muster, “Well, I thought that was a jolly good meeting. I would stick around but there is a pretty blond calling my name. I hope you all have a good night.”
Sirius winked at James and then left.
Lily, still rolling her eyes from Sirius’s departure, stood up and said goodbye to James and Remus. She then left the room and ran off to find Mary and Alice.
