"Lily, take Harry and go! It's him! Go! Run! I'll hold him off-"

Someone broke in, a cackle of high pitched laughter and a green light, James Potter was dead.

I followed slowly behind him. He burst into the room.

"Not Harry, not Harry, please not harry!"

"Stand aside you silly girl . . . stand aside now . . . "

"Not Harry, please no, take me, kill me instead!"

Another green light and both Lily and Voldemort were gone. And Harry had a fancy cut on his forehead.

Harry left with Hagrid hours later.

I walked a few blocks, turned back to human, and apparated to diagon alley. I turned back into a cat, walked to the magical pet shop and started meowing. The shop owner opened the door.

"In all my days working here I have never had a pet come to me themselves."

And she picked me up, put me down in a corner and went back to the counter.

They're gone. Lily and James are gone. Sirius. No one knows that he isn't the secret keeper. It's fine, he'll get a trial and with a drop of veritaserum and he'll be fine.

Turns out I was wrong. I shouldn't be surprised he didn't take the sensible route.
