GODRIC'S HOLLOW -- The Night the Earth Stood Still -- 31 October 1981

I had tears welling my vision. " JAMES!" I screamed as I gathered Harry's things as fast as I possibly could. I heard the door blast open. " No.....no..." I repeated to myself, he can't be here to kill us. " We'll be okay Harry..You will be okay. We love you and we will always be there for you. No matter what." I told him. " Daddy loves you....Mummy loves you..." I said to our little boy who was in my arms crying. I tried everything to make him stop crying.

I was surprisingly calm as I faced the most evil wizard I had ever known and my inevitable demise. But I knew that I was giving Lily and Harry the best chance in getting away by standing there to fight against him and the few followers he brought with him. I shot curses at the Death Eaters, making them fall to the ground so it was just me and Voldemort. I had a split lip and I was pretty sure I had a broken rib or two from fighting the Death Eaters while he just stood there and watched. Like it was some sort of entertainment to him. "I love you, Lily... Harry," I whispered, knowing they could nto hear me but it made me feel better as I stood up against Voldemort. I raised my wand and the last thing I remember was falling to the ground and a flash of green light.
