Chapter 39- Harry and a Prophecy

June 1980

Peter due to his mediocre marks and lack of ambition compared to his friends, attempted to interview as Pomfrey’s apprentice.

However he arrived early to the interview…

"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches... born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies...”

Peter stumbled back, horrified.

He wasn’t brilliant or clever but James’ son was expected to be born at the end of July…

That is if Lily could carry to term, she had suffered a terrible shock in December.

Peter ran forgetting his interview.

All that mattered was telling James.

XoooooX

James blinked at Peter who was panic stricken.

“You have to believe me! I heard it! Your son’s in danger!” Peter protested.

“We’ll talk it over with Lily. Until then you’re staying at Baskerville.” James sighed.

Peter swallowed, “Will I be safe there?”

Sirius snorted, “Probably.”

“I’ll stay. I don’t want anything to bad to happen…” Peter said sadly.

Sirius left to escort Peter to his place that he inherited from Uncle Alphard.

XoooooX

“I see.” Lily said distantly. “So it’s come to this…we’ll need to cast the Fidelius Charm.”

“Sirius can be our Secret Keeper.” James was stubborn.

“No.” Lily sighed, “It must be Peter. Sirius will be Peter’s Secret Keeper. Everyone will expect us to make Sirius our Secret Keeper. Peter will never be suspected…”

Lily’s tenous pregnancy meant that she couldn’t cast the Fidelius charm so that left Remus.

The Secret Keepers stayed within the Marauders…

Lily would never have chosen that cottage if it wasn’t meant…

Harry would be born in Potter Hall as were all Potters but to keep Dumbledore distracted, they would go into hiding in that cottage.

XoooooX

July 31, 1980

Lily went into labour just after breakfast; so she sent an elf for Andromeda.

Being married rather than single and with a war going on, James didn’t have to live in the barracks.

He had been dumped all of the texts relating to being an Auror and like Sirius had been dragged into the field. James was expected to read them in his ‘spare time’ while he was assigned to a fully qualified Auror who would function as a mentor.

Sirius was assigned Franciscus ‘Frank’ Longbottom as a mentor while James had Arcturus ‘Arthur’ Weasley.

Lily hadn’t been invited to Petunia’s wedding; apparently her sister hadn’t forgiven her for her better fortune in suitor or ring.

She lost her adoptive parents in an auto accident while she was on her honeymoon; they had tried to pop up to London to visit Petunia after Vernon bought her a house in Surrey.

Lily hadn’t known at all until she and Sev attempted to visit her parents at Christmas.

Severus had to take her to St. Mungos to prevent her from miscarrying Harry.

Lily had been put on bedrest; luckily Severus was able to spend an hour or two with her because Aurelius and Lyall understood.

This meant putting her Charms Apprenticeship mostly on hold; Demeter sent her charms theory books and drilled her for a few hours in the afternoon. All practical work was forbidden and Andromeda could be quite intimidating.

Her contractions were closer together, mere minutes apart when Andromeda arrived.

“You’re nearly there…” the imperious birth healer announced.

Thankfully, James arrived looking a bit singed before Lily was ordered to push.

James was hit with a disinfecting charm and his clothes were changed as well before he was let anywhere near Lily.

Eventually, Lily was ordered to push and she did. Pushing through every other contraction and pausing to breath before starting to push again.

Then there was a sharp cry and her son was caught securely in Andromeda’s arms. The cord was tied and Lily watched as Andromeda handed off her son to a house elf to bathe before Lily was made to deliver the afterbirth.

Once Lily and her son were cleaned up, the babe was placed in her arms and she offered him a breast.

James was nearly in tears at the sight of them, “We’re parents Lily…”

Lily let him kiss her and kissed him back warmly, it wouldn’t due to let him see how her heart was breaking.

Holding Harry and knowing how little of his life she would share was a terrible burden…

XoooooX

Eventually, Sirius, Remus and Severus arrived to be introduced to Harry.

Sirius while excited to be a godfather was terrified to hold Harry, while Severus insisted on being the first.

Lily wished she could have seen more about her twin’s future than her son’s bonding…

At least she knew Severus would have beautiful daughters…

XoooooX

Harry was properly wiccaned of course by Lyall and Andromeda making Harry’s godparents Sirius and Severus.

Severus was also godfather to Narcissa and Lucius’ son Draco but Lily didn’t care. She trusted Severus with everything and anything…

Lily made sure to document every milestone in Harry’s life, even if she had to leave him, she wanted him to know he was loved.

Her beautiful boy, at least he would grow up happy to have a family of his own…

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
