Summary: Somehow Lily wasn't home and both her son and husband were killed by Lord Voldemort, but she managed to survive. Her emotions are not only way out of whack, she now craves revenge against the man who murdered her family. What will she do?
Part One: Coming Home
It was late; Lily Potter had wanted to get home hours ago but getting gold out of a vault at Gringotts was no longer a simple task with Death Eaters lurking around every corner. Knowing it would be best not to apparate into the house at this hour, Lily decided to walk, knowing ever since she delivered baby Harry that she did need to lose at least ten pounds.
Although at night Godric's Hollow could be spooky, the shadows could never scare Lily. But as she turned the corner to get to the desired street she was filled with icy cold dread. She didn't know why, but somehow she felt that something was very, very wrong.
And the eerie green Dark Mark hanging in the sky confirmed her fear. Dropping her packages, Lily tore down the street and approached her home, which was no longer there.
Spying the bodies of her husband and son Lily erupted into tears, crying and screaming. She couldn't believe it. She knew that James and she were certainly enemies of You-Know-Who but she had never expected such a turn of events.
Overcome with rage, she collapsed on her husband's chest, her dead son in her arms.
