Chapter 1, Those who die work to protect those that live.:
It was a cold crisp Halloween night in Godric's Hollow. James Potter was walking down the sidewalk, on his way home to see his son Harry and his wife Lily. His messy black hair blowing slightly in the wind and the tails of his robes swaying as he walked. "Nice night," he thought to himself, these thoughts would soon leave his mind however as while he was walking up to his homes gate he saw a mysterious hooded figure using a charm to unlock the front door of his house. "It can't be," he muttered, and he quickly extracted his wand from the pocket of his robes and broke into a sprint. Lily Potter was standing over her son Harry's crib making sure he was alright, she was in a wonderful mood, this was until she heard the sound of the door behind her being blown off it's hinges. She turned sharply and standing before her was The Dark Lord, Voldemort, "NO, NOT HIM, NOT MY SON!" She cried as she through herself between her son's crib and Voldemort. "QUIET YOU FILTHY MUDBLOOD!" screamed The Dark Lord as he raised his wand, "AV-" Voldemort was cut off as he was suddenly hit in the side by a stag. The stag pushed him into the wall and backed up towards Lily and transformed, into a man, Voldemort looked up and standing before him, was the messy black haired figure of James Potter. "DON'T TALK TO MY WIFE LIKE THAT!" He screamed, his wand pointed at The Dark Lord, "Ah yes" said Voldemort coldly, "The blood traitor, well I'll make quick work of you" he said as he was dislodging himself from the wall and trying to stand up. James didn't move his arm was still out in front of himself, pointed at Voldemort, "JAMES GO, SAVE YOURSELF!" Lily cried, "No, I'm not gonna let him hurt you," James said as he smiled while looking back at his wife "Take care of Harry for me, and tell Severus that I'm sorry for everything that happened when we were boys, and if you ever find Peter, get him the coldest and dingiest cell of Azkaban you can." He said as he turned back to The Dark Lord, who was standing, his wand pointed at James "How sweet, shame it's being said to some low mudblood filth" said Voldemort darkly. James Potter scowled "You can insult me all you want, but leave Lily alone!" He screamed and turned to his wife once more "Go, find Sirius, go with him on his bike, and give him and Remus my best." James said, "This bores me, let's get this over with" said Voldemort, an arrant note of disgust in his voice, "Fine." James said, turning again, throwing his arms in front of Harry and Lily "EXPEL-" James yelled but was very quickly cut off by The Dark Lord "AVADA KEDAVRA!" Voldemort shouted and in a flash of green light James Potter collapsed, he was dead. "JAMES!" Lily cried, "ENOUGH!" Voldemort shouted, "I'VE HAD IT WITH THE STALLING, I'M KILLING THE BOY!" "NO, DON'T YOU TOUCH HIM!" Lily screamed, "AVADA KEDAVRA!" Voldemort roared, pointing his wand at Lily, the spell however was blocked, by some kind of shield of light. Voldemort couldn't touch either of them, "W-What," Voldemort said, clearly puzzled, he moved his hand towards Harry's forehead, nothing happened, nothing except Voldemort drawing a scar, in the shape of a lightning bolt. He turned himself and his wand back to Lily, "WHAT DID YOU DO!" he yelled, "N-NOTHING," stammered Lily, Voldemort growled, "WHY CAN'T I TOUCH YOU OR THE BOY!" Voldemort wailed, shaking his hand, this was a bad move however, as he shot another curse, and the curse rebounded and hit Voldemort. Lily Potter looked around, "James, he's...,he's really gone, and Harry, he's injured, but alive, and somehow me and him vanquished The Dark Lord" Lily said looking around again, fixing her gaze on her son "Oh Harry," she muttered and everything went black, she'd passed out.
