Harry Potter One Shots

The Night Of

All would have seemed normal, the young family was asleep. The windows were shut tight but a small stream of light shone through a crack in the blinds. On a small bedside table a baby monitor crackled, it's mate in an adjacent room listened in on a young child who would soon, against all odds, achieve something that would save millions. This young boys name was Harry Potter; a name that would soon be praised. A name that would go down in history. The night air was still, and in that moment all seemed completely normal and perfect. Then the moment quickly soured. Tiny Harry's father, James, woke up with a start. He shook awake his beautiful wife. Her bright green eyes opened quickly with a look of pure terror.
"James I had—" she was cut off by her husband.
"Lily, I saw it too..."
The parents got out of of their bed as quickly as the recognition of the terrors that were coming registered in their minds.
"I'll cast as much protection as possible, Lily, Honey don't cry" James pauses to hug his sobbing wife "Our son NEEDS you. He NEEDS you to be strong. Protect me baby. I love you Lily, more than you will ever know." With that James gave Lily a quick kiss and was off to protect his home. Lily pulled herself together with great difficulty. Somehow she knew that was the last time she would ever hear her sweet husbands voice again.
She ran to her son. Harry was sound asleep. His peaceful face void of emotion, his tiny chest rising and falling with each life filled breath. She scooped him up into her motherly arms. Lily crossed the room slowly to a squishy chair in a corner. As she sat down she chair squeaked and the baby stirred, he let out a huge yawn then curled his small arms in towards his chest and was fast asleep once more. Lily's thoughts were racing she fine tuned her ears she listened closely to any sound she could find minutes went by and all she heard was ringing in her ears. Then BANG! She heard something explode downstairs. A voice rang out, a voice that all feared. She knew a murderous man was there, and his intentions a high pitched voice with a cruel laugh was talking to someone. Lily couldn't hear a response, she couldn't tell if he was speaking to James.

"GET OUT OF MY WAY! YOU SHALL SURVIVE IF YOU STAND DOWN!" The murderous voice was talking to James. Lily couldn't hear a response. Another BANG
"Harry you are loved," murmured lily, "I love you. Your father loves you."
Another BANG
"Miss. Lily, this would be a lot easier on you if you handed over the child," Lily heard this drawling voice and a wave of fear washed over it. She looked into young Harry's eyes and the fear disilated into a nothingness. Lily felt a jolt of a power, something she could only describe as love. She stared into her sons eyes until a loud bang forces her to tear her eyes away from he baby. The door to the nursery had taken a solid hit from a string wizard, Lily knew then that one more blow and it would be up to her to fight for Harry's protection.
"You are loved Harry, more than the worlds end. Do great things with your life," Then a sudden crash indicated that Harry and Lily now has a highly unwanted guest with them.
With a wave of his wand and a flash of green Lily was dead. She fell limply to the floor her eyes forever frozen with a look of fear, love, and determination. The dark lord didn't even watch her fall. For he raised his wand again and screamed at the top of his lungs, "AVADA KEDAVRA!!!"

There was a green flash and then all went silent. All that could be heard was little Harry's sniffles. And all that could be seen was dust and debris floating in the beam of moonlight that shone from the window too the floor. The dark lord was gone. For now... and Harry became the boy who lived.
