James entered the hallway with his wand held up high. Voldermort greeted him.

"AVADA KE...!" Voldermort shouted.

"EXPELL...!" James shouted.

The two were locked in a duel of death. The spells met in the middle and clashed. Voldermort showing no signs of weakness, James holding on to let his wife get as far away as possible. The battle was coming to an end and that was it. James held Voldermort off for as long as he could but it was over. James had lost it...

Voldermort stepped over James's body and headed to the garden. James lay there frozen, staring into nothing. Voldermort apparated away from the house just moments before Dumbledore arrived at Godric's Hollow.

"James, I got Lily's owl..." Dumbledore drifted off his sentence when he saw James's body.

Dumbledore hurried out and searched for Lily. It wasn't long before he found her. She was in headquarters  cowering behind a table with Harry asleep in her arms.

"Lily..." Dumbledore started.

She jumped and burst into tears. She asked Dumbledore to find her once James was safe but the look on his face answered all her questions.

Lily remained in Headquarters all night with Dumbledore who watched over her. Remus was contacted immediately. His reply owl was short and sad. He mentioned how he was on his way home and was gonna stay with Lily.
