I've never seen that kind of shine in her eyes before
It shines from within, from where you still live.

When she stood there in front of my front door, I could already see it in her eyes. After all, I had known her for more than eight years!
The green eyes shone more today than ever before.
And one hand tightly clasped my best friend's hand.
Who grinned mischievously at me.
I asked them in.
Got us a drink.
And then it started:
"Sirius, we have something to tell you ..." Lily began, nervously fiddling with a strand of hair.
"I knew there had to be a reason before you came to visit me!" I played offended and crossed my arms.
James laughed lightly. Lily smiled cautiously.
"Yes, and what is it now?"
Lily looked at James one more time. He nodded.
"I, I'm pregnant!"
My mouth fell open.
And in disbelief, I stared first at her and then at James.
Ok, I didn't expect something like that!

Ever since I knew of your arrival, I've been waiting for the new time,
my world is upside down
because 1 and 1 gives 3.

Once again there is one of the evenings where I have nothing to do.
I wander restlessly through our house.
Enter all the rooms for no reason and look for the thousandth time at the pictures on the walls that Lily had hung there.
Keep glancing out the window.
It was December, but there was still no snow. Ten days until Christmas. No snow far and wide.
From time to time I think about stopping by the Order.
Maybe distract me ...

Then I heard her familiar warm voice from upstairs, from the bedroom.
A smile crept on my face. She was exhausted after seeing her doctor.
And slowly I climb the stairs. Peek through the crack in the door into the room that would later become the nursery.
She stood bent over the cradle and straightened the bed, which was still empty.
Yes, we can no longer think of anything else.
Only the little miracle that grows inside of her.

You're making a little family out of us.
Make three out of two.
You make parents out of a couple.

The world that is waiting for you is not as it would like to be,
no, but there is time.
Don't worry, you can really dare

My steps hold over the asphalt.
I clutched my wand tightly under my cloak.
Every cell tense to the point of tearing apart.
I kept throwing quick glances over my shoulder. Watched the shadows by the houses. Payed attention to every trembling of a leaf.
The wind blew through my hair.

I felt like I was being followed.

My steps became faster and faster.
Led me to a house in the middle of a street.
The light was on in the living room.
The Christmas lights were gone. Also the remains of New Years Eve.
I went into the front yard.
Hurry up to the entrance.
Looked around and then knocked twice on the door.

James opened it.
Looked at me blankly and nodded inside.
Lily hurried out of the kitchen into the hallway.Her stomach bulged a little under her apron.
Put a few strands in her face. Encircled the frightened eyes.
"Remus!"

"Another attack."
James took a deep breath.
"Who?"
"Wizarding family from Wales. All family members killed. Orden knows nothing about the perpetrators." Hidden the fact that the wife of the family was expecting a child.
The world was just too dangerous for a child at the moment ...

Four hands full of love fight for you
and I swear your mother is a great woman

Still, I asked Remus to take care of her ...
[i]You are the greatest adventure
They just missed you
She carries you with pride
In her beautiful belly
Just feel good about your skin
Entrusted to your mother
Your world still remains small
And your little soul pure

I came by now more and more often.
It was March now. The sun grew stronger, fuller and warmer.
I was sitting outside in the garden with James, holding a Butterbeer in my hand and watching the neighbor struggle with her hedge. We enjoyed hexing the hedge a bit. Lily should just not notice that ...

Yes, Lily was already walking around proudly like Oskar. Stroke her stomach lovingly, over and over again.I think it made James foolish that he didn't notice the happiness his wife was having at the moment.
She was also constantly protected or congratulated and cuddled by other friends and acquaintances.

James felt good to talk to me. Especially now.
More and more people disappeared.
Remus had to go into hiding for a while, we didn't know anything about him.
Every day I came to see my best friend, and when he nodded in disappointment, I knew there was still no news from our friend.
It was a difficult time and the hope for a new life that came from exactly among us gave us courage.

Even I admired Lily. She had a rest. She had no worries.
That was admirable.

That something could go wrong
Sure, that scares them a little
But whatever will be
They are so looking forward to you, they are with you
And your mother is already rocking you out

I was standing in the middle of the living room. The June sun shone into the room and brightened Lily's tear-streaked face even more. She had one arm around her now large, rounded belly, the other hand James held tightly in his.
His gaze was desperate, but his demeanor should show strength.
He wanted to be strong for his wife.

I could only stand there and stare at the two of them.
Then you came back from the underground and found out that your friends were being hunted.
Lord Voldemort himself drove the family to the brink of existence.
Dumbledore had heard a professorship. It had been clear.

Either James and Lily or Frank and Alice.
Both women in the same month, both women in the Order.
Both women affected.
But the dark one had chosen the Potters.
And now they had to hide. Hide them.
Dumbledore would cast a difficult spell.

"We'll take Sirius. As for the secret keeper, I mean ..."
I just nodded. A sudden emptiness had spread inside me. So Sirius. Of course, why did I even believe they would choose me? Me the monster?
Sirius…

"Remus." Lily breathed and got up, took my face in her hands and forced me to look her in the eye, "Remus, we don't want to put you in danger. You have a life ahead of you! And don't you dare to contradict me! !! "
I looked into her almond eyes, which shimmered in this beautiful green, glowing and glittering with tears.
"I i…"
Sirius…

"Remus! Damn it! Sirius almost cut my head off when I said I wanted to take Dumbledore. He really wanted to do it! And you know I would trust you as well!" James reminded me and Lily took my hands in hers.
I looked at the floor.
Sirius…
"I know ... Sirius would fix it ... when?"
"After birth!"

I can't help you yet, I can't see you yet,
I can only think about you a lot and you can hear me singing

[i]When you are there, when you see light,
and for the very first time
When she sees you, when you see me
then I think it was a miracle
then become a miracle
then I think it will be a miracle

I ran up and down.
Two hours!!!
I've been waiting for a sign for two hours now.
And I kept looking at the minute display, the electronic hospital clock.
I had a deal with Lily.
If there is an odd minute, the child is named Sudley.
I thought the name was terrible! But Lily wanted to combine the name of her child with the name of her sister since she was five.
Petunia, Lily's sister, had a son. His name was Dudley and Lily wanted to call ours Sudley
