Disclaimer: J.K. Rowling writes the books, I write the fanfiction.
A/N: I don’t know what to say about this particular songfic. I was listening to the cd, and the lyrics just screamed out “Death scene” which is quite disturbing at three in the morning, let me tell you. I cried when I finished writing this…but I’m an emotional little creature, so there you have it.
Characters: Harry and Lily
Angst
PG
Summary: Lily’s last words to Harry before she is killed.
My Last Breath
Hold on to me, love
You know I can’t stay long,
All I wanted to say was I love you and I’m not afraid
Can you hear me?
Can you feel me in your arms?
Lily ran from the front room, as James screamed that ‘He’ was here. Too shocked to do anything but run, she obeyed, Harry clinging to her tightly, sensing her desperation. She flung herself into the bedroom unknowingly locking the door behind her with complex charms. Sinking to the floor, she settled her little boy in her lap, and tried to sooth his worried sobs.
“Shh…don’t fret love. Listen…shh…I…I won’t be here much longer…” She picked Harry up, resting his head on her shoulder.
Holding my last breath
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you
Sweet raptured light
It ends here tonight
Lily knew what was coming. She heard a high pitched laugh coming from the other rooms, and heard the worst of the Unforgivables spoken. A few seconds later, she heard the solid ‘thud’ of James’ body hitting the floor.
I’ll miss the winter
A world of fragile things
Look for me in the white forest
Hiding in a hollow tree
I know you hear me
I can taste it in your tears
All she could think about was last Christmas. Harry had been so attentive then, even at five months. He was fascinated by the lights on the tree, and the shiny glass globes that decorated it. He delighted in the baby games and faces Sirius and Remus had played with him. That was the last time she and James had been able to see their friends. They all had gone into hiding then, but it wasn’t enough, and only the last few weeks or so had they been using the Fidelius Charm. She looked down at her little boy, the whole reason they were in hiding. He was staring at her intently, emerald eyes watery from tears, no longer crying, but the tears still coursed down his rosy cheeks.
“There’s my good little boy, my good little Harry…that’s right, don’t cry, love…listen to Mommy’s voice…”
Holding my last breath
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you
Sweet raptured light
It ends here tonight
Closing your eyes to disappear
You pray your dreams will leave you here
But still you wake the truth
No one’s there
Lily gently rocked Harry, who was dozing slightly, tired out from his crying. She murmured softly all the disjointed thoughts that came to mind. “Harry…please dream of last Christmas. Never dream of tonight…oh, love, Sirius will be so good to you…We may not be there, but Sirius and Remus will watch over you…”
She jumped at the sound of the door knob rattling. She heard a few opening charms being uttered, but the door wouldn’t budge, giving her a few last precious seconds with her son.
Say goodnight
Don’t be afraid
Calling me, calling me as you fade to black
She gently kissed Harry’s head. “Good night, little love. I’ll love you for all time. Don’t fear the future, as I’ll always live in your heart.”<br>
The door was blown from its hinges, pieces of wood littering the floor.
Lily crushed Harry to her chest, rocking compulsively as she screamed out her last words to Voldemort. She heard Harry crying out one of the first simple things he had learned to say, “Momma…Momma” in great sobs from his tiny lungs, as the light from the curse surrounded her, filled her, and forced her soul from her body.
