Flower for a soul

31 October, 1981....

After she felt alarm charm she put on their entrance gate, she knew it was to late to run.

They are going to die ,but luckily she didn't listen to that sanctimonious old man.

They call it dark arts ,but that is just another way of saying if you learned that it would be harder to control you. Oh sure there are some truly abominable practice that go against nature, but those are incredibly rare ,they have mostly been destroyed or hidden in secret libraries of old families.

She had found one, well it was more of a book about how to destroy something called horcruxe

apparently it is something that never should be created. It split your soul and doing so will drive you crazy although you probably were already if you thought splitting your soul is a good idea.

Anyway she had delve in old magic that were used for protection based on magical trade ,or in other words secrefice.

So yes she looked into rituals to find a way to protect her son. She knew that she probably wouldn't survive this war anyway ,but if she can at least let her child survive then her life had some purpose.

Ritual had been ready ever since they moved in this house from their small apartment in London.

Now she was running up the stairs towards her sons room. Behind her raged noises of battle her husband was giving it his all but it wouldn't be enough ,that thing wasn't even human anymore. Who knows what he did to himself to look like that.

As she was trying to quiet her baby she noticed that fighting had stopped ,and she could hear creaking as the monster was walking up the steps.

Soon enough he was at he the door. Glowing red eyes looked at her ,and hissing voice spoke to her.

"Ah Lilly, brilliant Lilly you could have done so much, discovered so much, achieved things others can only dream about if you choose right side. You know it isn't to late just step aside. You can come with me , join me."

Lilly looked at him incredulously."Aren't you suppose to hate my kind, mudbloods?"

"Oh please Lilly we both know that is just easiest way of controlling those morons that think them self so superior ,they never noticed me turning them in my slaves."

"At last you can admit it ,But I am not going to be one of those slaves. Go ahead kill me just leave my son alone he is just a baby he can't do anything."

"I am sorry but I can't do that. I can't risk it."

Before Lilly could even blink wand was pointed at her ,and last she heard was "Avada Kedavra!".

Voldemort never saw triumphant smile on her lips after he fired the curse ,nor did he pay attention as her body disappeared leaving only her clothes behind.

He was to preoccupied staring in the eyes of the baby that is suppose to be his downfall.

"Nobody stands between Lord Voldemort and eternity. Avada Kedavra!" .

He couldn't do anything as his spell backfired and he was pushed out of his body as it disintegrated ,and in excruciating pain.

Shade of Tom Marvolo Riddle flow out of Potters hideout unable to think of anything else but pain.

Left behind was only a toddler with a scar in shape of lightning bolt.
