Prologue

"No silly girl," I said to my daughter, Elodie. She was saying "Mama" a million times and playing with my hair.

I smiled at her. James was playing with Harry, doing his favorite thing, making colorful smoke rings with his wand. Every few minutes, you could hear a gleeful squeal from Harry. "Dada," Elodie said suddenly and jumped out of my arms, and to my husband. She waddled over to him and plopped herself in front of Harry. Harry squealed. "El-el," He said. James got up and walked over to me.

"How's my Lily?" He asked, gently pressing his hands onto my still small, but there, baby bump.

I nodded and focused my gaze on Elodie and Harry. Elodie has always been a bit ahead of Harry, even though Harry was 5 minutes older than her.

"Harrrry, nooo," She was moaning at Harry as he was playing with James's wand.

She grabbed the wand and chucked it away. I giggled slightly. James focused his attention on where I was looking.

"Their really something together, huh?" He said. I smiled. "Yes, definitely," I said.

I thought about Sirius and Remus. I know James didn't want to admit it, but I knew that James didn't want to be in hiding. And I knew that if Sirius came over, then his nerves would definitely ease. When Harry and Elodie were first born, Sirius was giddy with excitement. He came over every day, just to see them. When we had to go into hiding, I knew Sirius was upset, but James was a whole nother level.

Elodie was always a little bit smarter than Harry, but not by much. She started talking 4 months before Harry, has her first steps 3 months before Harry, and was already reading some picture books. (mostly just looking at the pictures and babbling the words, but sometimes she said some of the words) Harry didn't say anything for a while, and we got really worried. But, eventually, he shouted out, "DADA!" and we were all super excited.

"Lily?" James snapped his fingers in front of me.

I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at him. His face was contorted into worry.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

I nodded and looked at him. I heard something downstairs, and James went down. I walked over to Elodie and Harry and played with them. Suddenly, I heard a scream downstairs.

"LILY!! IT'S HIM! TAKE THE KIDS AND RUN!!! I LOVE YOU!" James screamed.

I whispered, "I love you too sweetie," and closed the door, and I frantically shoved the dresser in front of the door and grabbed my children.

"Elodie, Harry, listen to mommy," I whispered panickly to Elodie and Harry, embracing them into a hug. "If we don't make it, just remember that mommy and daddy love you with all of our hearts. We love you so much. Always remember that I love you with all of my heart,"

The door suddenly burst open, and I fell back. I groped around for my wand, but I couldn't find it anywhere. I choked back a scream. I thought that because he was here, I realized that James must be dead. I couldn't help the hot tears to flow down my face, and put my hands around my stomach, shaking.

"Move away girlie, and let me kill the boy," Voldemort hissed.

I leaped up and jumped in front of Harry and Elodie.

"NO! Please, take me instead! Please!" I begged him. He rolled his eyes and sighed.

"As you wish," He said. "AVADA KEDAVRA,"
