Lily's world had turned upside down in the space of minutes. She had never dreamed of Peter being the spy. She hadn't want to believe it, still didn't, but it was the only explanation. She couldn't see any of the three men being spies but the proof was undeniable. You couldn't be tortured to give up the location hidden under Fidelus, you had to willingly give up the secret. Taking Harry, she sprinted upstairs to the nursery, Harry in her arms. Placing her beloved son in his crib, she performed the ritual that she had found as an added protection for her son. She had no idea if it would work but it was the least she could do to protect him. She begged and begged for Voldemort to spare Harry but she knew it would be futile.

He raised his wand and was voicing the killing curse when suddenly she was standing in a green field in the middle of what appeared to be an old English village.

Spinning around, she reached into her pocket and found her wand, a comforting weight in her hand. Spinning around again she came to the conclusion she had just forgotten, her mind playing a trick on her. Lily had never expected the after life to look like this.

Harry had just fed Mister, and was moving to get food for Mouse when suddenly the world shifted. Harry was used to strange things happening, strange was the norm where he was concerned. But this was...well, stranger than most.

He blinked, eyes taking a few seconds to focus. He didn't recall anything spectacular happening. It was as simple as one minute that, the next this. He'd been in his kitchen, such as it was. Now he was in a field.

And he wasn't alone. His eyes raked over the image of a woman. He didn't recognise her, but that didn't mean anything. "Empty night," he muttered before turning his full attention to her. "Do you happen to know where we are?" Or how he got here, was the real question because the kind of magic it would take to something like this pull this off...

Lily had been about to cast a charm to see if there was anyone else around her as well as to see if her magic would work when she heard a voice behind her. Keeping her hand on her wand just in case, she turned to study the man behind her. She didn't recognise him but that didn't mean anything if they were dead. "I assume heaven or hell or wherever we go after we're dead if you believe in that sort of stuff," she shrugged.

"I mean I never thought it would look like this but I don't think I know what I thought it would be either... It doesn't look half bad," she mused.

He knew it wasn't heaven because his parents weren't there to greet him. And it didn't feel quite right. hell, He supposed, was a very real possibility. And yet...He wasn't entirely sure on that, either.

"I was thinking more like some kind of purgatory." Neither heaven nor hell. But even so. He didn't remember dying. Well, actually he did. But not recently.

And there was nothing here and now to indicate to him that it was happening again. Just to be sure, though, he pinched himself. And winched because, ow. it definitely hurt.

"Where are my manners? I'm Harry," he told her and extended a hand. He was careful to say his name with a slight accent he didn't actually use. Giving names was tricky business, since in his experience names could be used against a person by someone who knew how to wield the power.

Lily hadn't for a second considered it would be anything other than heaven. His comment about purgatory made her still for a moment before looking at him carefully. If it was something other than heaven did that mean the Death Eaters could be here? She prayed not, she wasn't sure what she would do if she was stuck with them for all eternity.

"What makes you think it's purgatory?" she asked both curious and scared about his reasoning.

"My son's name," she replied taking the offered hand with a smile. "I'm Lily," she added introducing herself.

"It's a good name," he said. He could have meant Harry or Lily. It didn't really matter in the long run. A name was a name. Everyone had one. Or should have one, he thought, thinking of Ivy.

He ran a hand over his face. He kept his eyes averted, carefully avoiding eye contact. The last thing he needed was to get locked in a soul gaze. "Doesn't feel like heaven. Or hell. And it's not the Nevernever. Purgatory seems as likely as anywhere else."

	"Thanks," Lily said assuming it was Harry he was talking about though she wasn't sure. It didn't really matter when it came down to it. "What does heaven and hell feel like then? How would you know what they feel like for that matter? And what's Nevernever for that matter? I always thought Purgatory was hell?" she asked curious about all the terms he was using.
