Lily's Plan

Chapter 1: Halloween 1981

"No! Please! Not Harry! Not my baby!" Lily screamed begging the monster that stood before her, "No! Please, take me instead! HARRY!" Her child's name came out as a scream as the killing curse hit her square in the chest. Her long red hair moved around her pale face as she fell to the floor gracelessly. Another flash of emerald light flashed through the Halloween night sky. A couple hours later a tall dark man with long, greasy black hair, a long croaked nose that seemed to have been broken at least twice, in long flowing black robes flew up the steps into the nursery. He moved to the red haired beauty on the floor calling her name tears running down his pale cheeks. "Lily? Lily, please. Wake up, Lily! No!" He hugged her cold body to him the babe in the crib called out to the woman as well. "Mummy! Mummy!" The redhead moved a bit in the man's arms. The child saw the movement and call again. "Mummy! MUMMY!" Her emerald eyes flew open a gasp falling from her lips. "Harry!" Lily sat up and the man ran a hand through her hair calming her. "Severus?" she asked looking up at him tears in her eyes. "Hey, little sis," he whispered a small smile on his lips. She cried as she picked up the little boy in the crib. "Mummy!" the boy hugged her, it was his mummy. "It's okay, baby, Mummy's got you," Lily whispered. She hugged Severus and sighed. "What are we going to do now?" she asked. "I don't know," the man said. Together they created a dummy of Lily's dead body and placed Harry back into his crib. "Harry, don't worry, mummy loves you," Lily said, "I come get you, I promise." With that, and hearing someone clime the stairs Lily and Severus apperated away. "Sev, what if I posed as a girl Harry's age? A long term deageing potion, and correctly set glammer charms," Lily thought out loud when they got back to his rooms at Hogwarts. "That could work," Severous said, "Deageing potions allow you to keep your memories, we could place you with Micheal Granger," he said, "He could set the glammers just right." "Lets get to work," she said and smiled.
