The Missing Piece

Snily

LILY'S POV

It was a peaceful night. James cooked and I played with our son, Harry. Warming scent of a vanilla candle made our house feel so warm and lovely. I wathced our son play with a red muggle-made toy car. He was so little and adorable in his blue pants and bunny-printed shirt. I chuckled when his chubby hands dropped the car and he looked at me shocked. His eyes became to look sleepy and he yawned.

James walked in the living room to see us and smiled. "Food is ready darling", he said and placed a little kiss on my forehead. "I'll be there, just a second my love, I'll bring Harry upstairs. He looks so seepy", I replied and stood up. I pulled my navy cardigan on, as it was getting colder. I took Harry on my arms and walked upstairs to his blue coloured bedroom.

I sang a lullaby. He looked sleepier and sleepie. Finally he fell asleep, and then I heard James' shout "He is here! Keep yourself and Harry safe!"and Harry started crying. My eyes widened, he, the Dark Lord, couldn't be here! How did he know! I laid Harry back down on his bed, I didn't even notice how I had took him out of his bed to my arms.

I had to calm him down a bit so he'd stay quiet, for his own safety. "Harry, mama loves you, dada loves you. Harry you have to be safe, be strong. We love yo-" before finishing my sentence I saw him. He was there, in Harry's room! "Save the boy, please! I beg you!" I said, knowing that Voldemord didn't give a mercy. He took his wand and pointed it at me, I took one last look at my crying little Harry *AVADA KEDAVRA*. With that it all went black.

SEVERUS' POV

I stared at James and Lily Potter's house. Oh it pains me so much to think about their marriage. After all this time, all these years, I still loved Lily. My heart hurt so much, just because now she could be dead.

I just stood there for a couple of seconds thinking what to do. Their house had a massive hole on the wall. I couldn't just stand there while my Lily was inside! The dark lord had been in this house!

I stormed inside. Someone has cooked food here, the smell of food made me sick. I looked around, the dining table was smashed, broken glass was everywhere. I walked around seaching for Lily. I heard a silent cry from upstairs, the baby! He was alive! I ran up the stairs quicker that I've ever ran in my whole entire life. I begged for Lily to be alive. I reached the top of the staircase and saw James' lifeless eyes. Seeing the man I hated lifeless on the floor made mee numb. I just wanted to see Lily alive!

She used to be my best friend and I've loved her since we first met, then she got together with that nasty Potter! I was angry for her, and felt extremely hurt by her choosing James over myself. Still all I wanted to do was hold her in my arms tightly and feel her close for once more. All of my toughts were swirling in my head so fast that I taught I was going to loose my mind.

I reached the door and saw Lily on the wooden floor, lifeless. I was so shocked, this can not be true! Not my Lily! Please, please I could do anything to have her back to life. I could give my own life to get her back to life! I fell to the floor and lifted her lifeless body into my arms. I just wanted to hold her here and never let go. I could have done anything to get her back to life. "Lily... my dear Lily... if only you knew how much I love you.." I sobbed.

Then I noticed the baby again, how could he be alive? He only had a lightning bolt- shaped scar on his forehead. Why did he save the boy and not my Lily?! In that moment I did actually feel the pain in my chest for seeing her like that, it broke my heart.

I held Lily there and cried like I've never before. I was so broken and hurt, my only and true love was now gone! "Lily... Lily" I cried. Every minute felt like an hour. I crien and hugged her body tightly against mine. Then I felt it. Like a light breeze of air on my neck. "Oh merlin!!" I gasped. Yes, yes yes! She was breathing! She was alive! "Lily! Lily" I shouted.

She opened her eyes a little. "Who are you... and what did you do to me?" she asked with pure anger in her voice. "Lily... don't you remember me? I used to be you best friend when we were little" I said and felt the tears fall to my cheeks. They were tears of relief and worry. I was so so thankful that she was alive, and so confused and hurt because of the fact that she didn't regocnize me. "I have never seen you, get off me!" she said and looked at me like I was a ghost. "And why the hell are you even holding me like I was your wife and why are you crying?" I looked at her. "Lily, I am your friend and I came here to help you", I said. Then she fainted on my arms again.

I had to get her out here as soon as possible. I decided to take Lily and the boy safe, so I packed some of the things I taught they would need. I walked past James' dead body and looked at his dead body with hate.

I need to tell Dumbledore what happened! He would be the one to go there next.

I took Lily and the boy with me and took them to my house. I opened the door to my flat. Oh, I really needed to clean up!

I light up a few lamps and candles and carried Lily bridal style to bed in the room next to mine. I laid her down and tucked a pillow under her head to make her position more comfortable.

The boy started to cry. I held him and sat down next to Lily. I looked at the boy and tried to sush him. He seemed to calm down a little.

I watched Lilys long and elegant swan- like neck and her perfect face. I took a duvet and pulled it over Lily's body.

Then I sat there holdig the boy on my arms for Merlin knows how long. Then I suddenly remembered that I needed to write a letter to Dumbledore explaining everything to him. I laid the boy on the bed next to Lily. Then I pulled out a piece of parchment, ink and a quill and started to write. When I finished, my owl, Emerald (yes it seems a bit odd, but I named my owl after Lily's emerald geen eyes), came a bit closer and I tied the letter on her leg and let her go out of the window.

I continued wathing the love of my life, who didn't even know who I was anymore. Tears started burning my eyes. I hated seeing her like that. Minutes passed by and I just sat there feeling nothing.

Finally she opened her eyes. "Severus? Is that you?" she asked and looked around. I looked up at her. She was awake! "Lily, just rest. I can give you a sleeping potion to help you" I said and looked at her. "Where is James... and... Harry" she asked and tears started rolling down her cheeks. "Where is James?" she was starting to panic, "Tell me! Tell me!" I felt numb, how can I tell Lily that her husband is dead. It would break her heart. "Tell me, Severus", she wispered.

I looked at her and started to tell her how I came to their house after hearing that Voldemort had possibly been here. Just to make sure she was okay. She looked at me with her puffy red eyes and a tear after tear fell rom her cheeks to her blue cardigan and the duvet.

LILY'S POV

I looked at Severus, I couldn't believe that James was gone forever. Tears were falling down my face. This man, a man who once were my best friend, was now telling me how he came into my house and saw James' lifeless body. I had to see him! "I want to see him!" I shouted. Severus looked at me and said "It's two in the morning Lily" he said but knew that he couldn't change my mind. I jumped out of bed, instantly regretting. I became feeling dizzy, then I fell into Severus' arms. He held me there for a moment and when I opened my eyes again after a while he asked if I was okay. I murmured back something about seeing James and going home.

My last memory of that night was Severus putting me back to sleep after giving me some kind of sleeping potion. His last words I heard were "Sleep well, beautiful. You'll find me from..." and then I fell asleep, I quess.
