Prologue

"Lily! Take Harry and Alissa, quick! I'll try to hold him off! I love you!" James said as he got his wand out and pushed his wife away from the front door.

"I love you too, James." Lily said in tears.

I mustn't cry. I mustn't cry. Be strong for James… for Alissa and Harry.

Lily rushed up the stairs and hid Alissa in the secret compartment that they had made just in case something like this happened. After all, it was Harry that Voldemort was after, not Alissa. No one knew that Alissa existed… except for Professor Dumbledore… and her close friend Marlene.

Marlene had had to pretend she was dead, and Lily and James were the only people along with Professor Dumbledore that knew that she was actually alive. Marlene would take Alissa… and Harry… oh how Lily wished that Harry would live.

"AVADA KEDAVRA!" Lily heard a cold and merciless voice cry as she heard her beloved husband scream.

"Nonono… not James…" Lily murmured.

"Move aside, girl and you shall be spared." Voldemort said.

"Not Harry, anyone but Harry!" Lily shouted.

"Foolish girl! Avada Kedavra!" Voldemort shouted, and everything went black.

8 HOURS LATER…

"No… Lily, how could you die?" Marlene McKinnon said, sobbing.

"Marlene… there, there… Don't cry. Now you must take Alissa… and once Voldemort is defeated, you can let her be known to the world." Professor Dumbledore said.

"But… how about Harry? Where will he go?" Marlene said in between tears, her tears spilling onto Alissa's red head.

"To… his aunt and uncle's… the Dursleys." Professor Dumbledore said.

"Aren't you ashamed of yourself? You know yourself how terrible they are! No, I'll take him with me!" Marlene shouted.

"No… we can not let that happen. Voldemort knows that Harry is alive. For the sake of Alissa, you must leave him with them." Professor Dumbledore said sadly.

"For Alissa… for Lily and James…" Marlene said, getting up with Alissa in her arms.

"Goodbye Harry… I'm sorry." Marlene said, as she apparated away.

"Keep her safe… I wish you the best." Professor Dumbledore said, much too late.
