They Lived

Chapter 3

I wake up to Harry Crying. I try to get up. I manage to get to my feet. I can take a few steps but Sirius wakes up.

"Mate! What are you doing?" He asks

"Getting My son." I say

"You aren't supposed to be moving." He says

"Well, I was staring down Voldy while he used the killing curse intending on my family." I snap

"Prongs, don't snap at me." He says "I'm trying to help."

"I know. I know. I'm sorry Padfoot. It's just hard. I need Lily to be Ok. She has to be Ok." I say

"Its Ok, but please sit down." He says

I nod. I get Harry and walk slowly towards my bed.

Lily starts to slowly stir. I notice. She's waking up

"Padfoot. She's waking up." I say

" James!" Lily cries "Harry!" She cries again
Slowly opening her eyes

"Lily, Love I'm here. Harry's here. He's safe. He's awake too. He's fine. How do you feel?" I ask

"Like I was hit with a killing curse." She says
" Where is everyone?" She asks

"I didn't want to face everyone. Till you woke up. So I gave Padfoot perminate access to the room." I say

"Oh Ok." She says

"What do you remember Lily?" Padfoot asks

"Everything." She says "James telling me that Voldy was there. He told me to take Harry and run. So I run upstairs. I heard him use the killing curse on James and I heard a crash. Voldy then came up the stairs. While the fight between James and Voldy was going on. I was upstairs putting Harry in his crib. Piling everything I could to block the door. Keeping Harry's crib behind me cause I knew he wanted to kill Harry. I was blocking his way. He demanded I stepped aside. I refused. He fired. I collapsed. Then he fired at Harry. The curse rebounded. I guess. Then Voldy dissolved. Exploded to speak." She says

We are at a loss of words.

"Dumbledore will need to hear this." Padfoot says

"Yeah, But not right now." I say

Padfoot sits down. "I can get Marlene if you want Lily." He says

"No it's fine. I'm exhausted. I'll talk to people when I got more energy." Lily says

" Ok Lily, just get some sleep I'll keep an eye on Harry." I say

She nodded her head. She turned to her side and was sound asleep.

"Padfoot. I don't know what I'm gonna do mate." I say "I don't know how we are gonna keep Harry away from this. He will grow up and we won't be able to leave the house without some witch or wizard harassing our son."

"Thats the thing Prongs.  You don't know. It's Ok to not know. Once you guys get out of here. You'll move into Potter Manor. Since it does belong to you. Start from there. House elves will put up every protection spell in the books for you. His Room will be near yours so you can listen for anything. He will get to grow up and one day you two are gonna be the ones who run with him his first time on the platform. You guys will get to see his first Quidditch match. No matter what he will live through. You just have to be there. The Prophecy is about him. I have no doubt in my mind a second one is comin. That one similar to this. Think of his future. The future you and Lily have with him!" Padfoot says

I nodded. Silently stroking my son's hair.

I knew I would always be beside him.

He is my Son.

I will love him

Always
