The two creaks were not, in fact, Peter Pettigrew and Sirius Black.

The two creaks were Albus Dumbledore and Sirius Black.

They came rushing.

"We can't find Wormtail." Sirius admitted after James had calmed a bit, though he still found it hard to believe.

Lily just wanted watermelon. She wanted to see if Harry could have some yet.

The memory was still fresh, and James hoped it always would be, so he could hear her melodic voice and see her flaming red hair messily frame her face.

"James!" Lily yelled from downstairs.

"Yes?" He responded, walking into the kitchen and leaning against the doorway.

"We're out of watermelon." She said in reply.

"And?" He asked, curiously, of course, it's not like she was obsessed with watermelon.

"Well, I though watermelons would be nice for Harry to try, because- well... They're watery. They're not soft like bananas, but they're not hard to eat because he can suck on them." She responded, searching the fridge for any sign of the watermelon.

"Okay, get Harry in the carseat. We'll head to the store." James said, walking to realize Lily wasn't following, so he turned.

"Lily?" He asked.

"I can stay." She replied.

"I don't think it's that safe, Lily." He responded, fearful.

Though James loved risk, he couldn't risk the things he loved this much.

"James, you know that I would protect Harry with my life... And if both of us die, that leaves him an orphan. Not to mention no one except Sirius, you and I know that we switched the keeper to Peter. What if they thought it was Sirius- what if they did?" She asked, voice shaky.

"I don't want to Lily, but if that's what you want...." He said, frowning.

"I love you James, see you in a bit." She said, kissing his cheek and walking with him to the door.

A wail came from upstairs and she turned.

"Harry's up." She smiled, rushing up the stairs.

"See you, Lily. Love you, bye Harrg!" James said, closing the door.

James never got to see her... Alive.

Sirius Black was worried. James Potter was having a horrible, horrible day.

He watched Remus pick up Harry and sit on the bed with him.

He had a talent for being calm in horrible situations, way to go Remus.

"Prongs?" Sirius said.

James seemed to snap into reality, and responded. "Yes...?" He said slowly.

"You can get through this." He told him, putting a hand on his shoulder.

"I'm going to try," he started, and seemed to have slight confidence when he finished. "For Harry."
