Harry's POV :
   I felt sick, sick of these mind games, sick of these rules, sick of my bloody life
Wasn't finishing those stupid tasks enough?!
Well apparently not...

  I did not came here and sacrificed myself for one of them to stay, and I knew what to do
My mind was racing and my heart, hammering
Will they let me, possibly stay? Can I count that as an option?
Well I wouldn't know unless I speak up

"I'll stay." I said, while pulling of a brave smile
"And here comes the martyr part..." James rolled his eye's
While Lily, shot me a look that clearly said "NO "
"But why can't I?! I did all of these to bring the two of you back!"
"*sigh* first of all, you are still technically a child! Second of all you are being selfish and third of al..."
"SELFISH?!" I cut my fathers words

"Yes " Lily said, not giving a chance to James,to talk
"call this what ever you want! But this-is not-being selfish!" I said,  and myself felt myself going hot on the face
"Harry, there was a reason that Voldemort couldn't fight you, you..."
She pointed her finger at my chest
"Are the only chance we all got!" As much as I wanted to protest ,she was after all right.
I've lost...easy as that

End of POV

"So, that means that one of us..." Lily's voice cracked at the end
"Yeah " James said weakly
"Lily?"
"Yeah?"
"Let me stay "
"No!" She firmly said
"Please." James met Lily's eyes and looked at her with concern, what ever that passed between them, made Lily look loosen up a bit

"James..."
"Please "
"Fine "
James looked both please and shocked, while Lily looked that she's heart has just been broken into a million piece

They, then heard a crack and came face to face with the goddess of magic
"I hope the decisions been made " she said cheerfully
"No its still not..."
"It's been made " James cut Harry's word
Lily and James looked at each other, Lily, then nodded and hugged James tightly
Whispering some thing in his ears

The goddess nodded, like she understood what was going on.
"So now is the boy going?"
the Potters nodded,  Harry looked more broken than Lily, he lost one of them, again.
"And the soul in him?"
"No " Lily said. Though Harry and James didn't still got what they're exactly talking about but they nodded in agreement

"I better suck it out if him then." The goddess said
She looked at Harry for a while, making him feel uncomfortable
Some thing was coming out of him, he felt exactly like the way his soul was nearly gone when the dementors attacked him, but some how happier,  giving him more energy,  more happiness  and he felt like-like
Like he didn't technicaly own his body before, but he did now

"There's the gate. " Hecate pointed at a gate that just appeared, once she finished sucking the thing out of Harry

"remember though, only two of you can go. The gods will destroy the third person who'll disobey our commands in such painful way's,  I shall go for now, the person remaining will follow me to their home, after the other two leaves" She said,  trying hard not to smile
Some thing was fishy

The smile wasn't an innocent one, it was an evil one , making Harry shiver a little
She then winked at Harry and disappeared
What was that all about?!

The Potter's slowly walked towards the blue gloomy gate, trying to spend their last minute as a complete family before they split up
Lily was quietly sobbing, tears were falling down from Harry's eye's
And James, he looked exhausted and pale, his eyes shouting from pain and his hands balled, making a fist

They were a mere few inches, near the gate
Lily hugged both James and Harry, both the boys facing their back to the gate
The women looked at both of them and said her good byes
Wait a minute...did she just said her farewell to Harry too?

James POV
This was it, this was the last time I saw those who I loved
The good news is, that Lily had given up on sacrificing
The bad news is that she gave up too soon, that made me feel-feel kind of, suspicious.
She hugged both me and Harry tightly, Harry whispered good bye to me and told me that he loved me
I told him the same

"Take care of Harry for me will you?" She whispered to me while hugging me and Harry as tightly as possible, some how pulling herself together for some thing

"What's that suppose to..."
She'd done it! That bloody women! I then, Suddenly felt her hardly pushing me and Harry towards the gate
It was too late once I figured her mischievous plan
"NOOOOOO " I yelled while falling towards the gate

And then me and Harry were gone, to the real world
Just like that
The only image I had before falling was Lily with her eyes full of tears  looking at us with pain and mouthing the word "mischief managed " to us.
I should've known...
