I run to the Potter's front door, but it is already open. No. Please no. "Lily! James!". Oh, please be okay, please, please, please. I run through the living room where we took that 'family photo' it is dark and cold. I run to the stairs and see James sprawled across them with his eyes open. I run next to him and touch his face, praying.

"James? James no, come on, please don't do this. Please! Please wake up." I stroke his hair and grab his head hoping to merlin he will wake up. "James! Please no!" I cry out.

I hear a noise upstairs in Harry's room and instantly pull out my wand and run to him. please be okay, not Harry. I turn the corner to find Severus on the ground holding Lily while Harry cries bloody murder right next to him in his crib. This is all his fault. How dare he come here.

"what the hell are you ding here!? Get off of her!" he places her head back down on the ground.

"Sevyn this wasn't me!" he pleas.

"how dare you come here, HOW DARE YOU TOUCH HER!" I feel it come out of me. A burst of energy just like the one at the Hogwarts garden party. As I fall to my knees, Severus scrambles to get up and runs past me and out of the house. I scream and cry before I bring myself to crawl over to Lily's body. I stroke her pale face and bring my arms around her limp body. Holding onto her for dear life. How did he find them? How is this possible? Please tell me it is not true. i scream and cry for what feels like a lifetime until I hear baby Harry sniffle in his crib. I lift my head and see the poor child looking at me with tear-stained cheeks. How is he alive?

I stand up and go to him to lift him from his crib. I pull him into my arms and notice a scar on his forehead and rub my thumb over the top. He buries his head into my neck, and I walk backwards to sit on the floor next to Lily's body. I cradle him in my arms swinging back to forth to help calm him down but also to help myself. I simply can't handle it and I just continue to cry with harry as he bawls in my arms.
