James's POV

Halloween is finally here! I've been counting down since October 1st, and little Harry is looking so cute in his pumpkin costume! Lily has put Taylor to sleep in her cot in our room. She's way too young to go trick-or-treating, so I'm taking Harry to some nice neighbours, including Sarah Green, Bathilda Bagshot and Joe Diamond.

Lily came into the room, her emerald eyes dancing, red hair shimmering in the firelight. She's so pretty! I remembered our wedding day, one of the happiest days of my life, seeing her walking up the aisle, in a long white dress, her hair fancy for her big day.

She laughed and said "why are you staring, James?" as she picked up Harry. I snapped out of my thoughts and back into 1981.

"You should see Taylor, she looks so cute!" I left the room and as I was walking down the hallway, the door blasted open.

"LILY, RUN! IT'S HIM! TAKE HARRY AND GO! YOU-KNOW-WHO DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT TAYLOR SO SHE'LL BE..."

The last thing I saw was a jet of green light and then black.

Lily's POV

"JAMES!" I shouted, as I ran to the nursery. I blocked the door and let the tears flow freely. My husband is dead. There is nothing I can do.

Harry saw my tears so he cried too. Loudly.

"Shh darling. It's ok. Everything will be ok."

The door crashed open and I started screaming.

"NO! NOT HARRY! PLEASE DON'T KILL HARRY! KILL ME! HAVE MERCY!"

"Stand aside, you silly girl!"

"NO! KILL ME! NOT HARRY! PLEASE!"

"Avada Kedavra!"

I screamed and felt my body fall to the floor, as I was engulfed in the darkness.

Third Person POV

The creature dresses in dark robes stepped over the dead body of Lily Potter and crouched over the innocent child.

"Avada Kedavra!"

Somehow, the curse rebounded and Voldemort fell to the floor, only to disappear a minute later.

Harry started crying, "Why isn't mummy getting up?" He thought, "Why is she sleeping?"

Sirius's POV

I had just conjured up a plate of Halloween cookies for the Potters, and fire whiskey for me, Lily and James when a bowl fell and smashed, which woke up the painting of my mother.

I ran down the hall and shut her curtains. I then ran the whole way back to clean up the bowl, and apparated to the Potters' house.

"NO"

I dropped the biscuits and alcohol and ran in. The first thing I saw was James's body, lying on the ground.

"JAMES! WAKE UP!"

A tear escaped my eye, and I hastily wiped it away with my sleeve.

I apparated to Dumbledore's house and started rambling.

"Atack... Godrics hollow... James..."

"Slow down Mr. Black. What happened?" Dumbledore said, kindly but sternly.

I took a deep breath then said, "Voldemort attacked James and Lily's house and James is d-dead. I don't know about Lily or Harry or Taylor."

"Let's go." He said, then apparated. I apparated after him then went to see if lily, Harry and Taylor were ok.

First stop, living room. Nobody.

Kitchen. Nobody.

James and Lily's room. Nobody.

The nursery. Yes. Lily was dead. New tears came to my eyes, which I blinked back. I looked over at Harry. No. He can't be dead. I reached over and held the lifeless boy, not knowing what to think. My poor Godson.

But then I realised he was merely sleeping, so I held him to my chest, and tried to stay quiet.

Still holding him, I looked around some more, finally finding Taylor, sitting down in her cot, playing with her toys, then started laughing when she noticed me. I picked her up too then walked downstairs to find Dumbledore, waiting with Moony, Andromeda, Ted, Alice, Frank and Hagrid.

Andy came over and gave me a tight hug, which was just what I needed.

"Where's Dora?" I asked.

"At home with my mother."

When I looked over, Dumbledore was with Harry and Taylor.

"Where will they go?" Moony asked.

"Harry has to go to his Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon. He mustn't know who he is, the unwanted attention won't do him any good."

"And Taylor?"

"She must go to an orphanage."

Hagrid arrived, huffing and puffing. I gave him my motorbike.

"Keep it." I said, "I'll probably be put in Azkaban because everyone thinks I am the secret keeper."

"Yer not?"

"No, it was changed to... PETIGREW! HE DONE THIS! THE TRAITOR! WAIT 'TIL I..."

"Hagrid, come. We must get going." Dumbledore interrupted.

"G'Bye Black. Stay safe"

"You too, big man." I say.
