Title: Til' Your Happy Again
Rating: T
Warnings: Angst, Hurt
Summary: Lily didn't know she was dead, not until she saw Dumbledore being left on the Dursley's doorstep.
Lily walked down the quiet street, not a single soul was awake in any of the houses. Though there was two two people out on the street. As Lily got closer she recognized them immediately, Professor Dumbledore and Mcgonagall. Two of her teachers from school, though they were both good friends to her and her family now.
"The owls are nothing next to the rumors that are flying around," Professor Mcgonagall said as Lily got closer. "You know what they're saying? About why he's disappeared? About what finally stopped him?"
Lily looked at her old professor, a confused look upon her face. What was she talking about? And why did it seemed they couldn't see her? Were they ignoring her on purpose? Or could they just not see her. She reached out. No cloak. An invisibility charm?
"What they're saying," she pressed on, "is that last night Voldemort turned up in Godric's Hollow. He went to find the Potters."
Lily head snapped up as she spoke. James and Harry should both be home...she should be home.
"The rumor is that Lily and James Potter are — are — that they're —dead."
Lily closed her eyes. She was dead, James was dead.... Where was her baby? Did Harry die too? Did somebody save him? Did Voldemort decided to raise him as his own?
"That's not all. They're saying he tried to kill the Potter's son, Harry."
Lily opened her eyes, hearing the conversation clearly now.
"But he couldn't. He couldn't kill that little boy. No one knows why, or how, but they're saying that when he couldn't kill Harry Potter, Voldemort's power somehow broke — and that's why he's gone."
Dumbledore nodded.
Lily fell down to her knees, blocking out the rest of the conversation, her baby defeated Voldemort. Her baby was alive. He was safe.... Lily suddenly burst out laughing as a smile covered her face. Her baby would live in a free world, a safe world. He will be raised by his godfather, Sirius, and his uncle, Remus. He would be happy.
Lily looked up, Hagrid was there, and he was crying as Dumbledore carried a blue bundled of blankets towards one of the house's. She recognized it, number four, Privet drive. Her sister's house.
"NO!" Lily shouted as she jumped to her feet and ran towards Dumbledore. She reached for her baby, but just fell through Dumbledore. She watched as Dumbledore gave her baby to people that would never care for him. She watched as they stared at her baby, then they just left him there, out in the cold. On the doorstep of people that will hate him...
She slowly stood up as they all disappeared and the street lights returned. She bent over her baby, before his skin was soft and flawless, but now a hideous scar, shaped like lighting was there. Lily bent closer and pressed her lips to his forehead the best she could.
"It will be okay," she whispered to her baby, "I'll stay right here till your happy again."
