(July 31, 1980)

Dumbledore looked at each and everyone of the Order, explaining the Deatheater attack. "So we have to go to Diagon Alley before they try to take over Gringotts." I nod along with everyone else and examine everyone. My eyes meet Remus' and he smiles reassuringly at me. A pang of fear enters my heart but I brush it off.

"Psst." I whisper to Sirius. "Where's James?" The man turns to me with furrowed eyebrows and says,

"Lily's in labor." His words make my eyes widen and I wonder how I couldn't have known.

"I have to get there as soon as this is over." He nods in agreement. I turn my attention back to Dumbledore who's telling us that it's time to go. "Let's go kick some a-" I cover Sirius' mouth before he has a chance to finish his sentence.

A layer of sweat covers my body as I shoot hexes and curses. A few dark curses have even slipped from my mouth, but none of the Order minds. We aren't dueling. We are fighting for our lives. We are at war.

A green light shoots towards me but I quickly dodge it. I send multiple hexes and curses towards Deatheater and he falls to the ground. When he falls I see Remus fighting off two Deatheaters ; one happens to be Bellatrix Lestrange née Black.

"Stupefy." I mumble. The red light shoots out towards Bellatrix, but the Deatheater quickly blocks it. Her eyes go towards me, her attention leaving Remus, and I almost smirk mockingly at the crazed witch.

Without warning the witch sends several curses my way and our dance begins. I block her spells nonverbally while only being able to dodge others. Bellatrix's movements are swift and deadly like a snake ready to attack. Immediately I could tell that my guard would have to be up and to not underestimate her.

Bellatrix cackles, sending more curses to me as I barely manage to block them. "Filthy Mudblood thought she could actual defeat me! Probably to save that disgusting half-breed. Trust me, your death will be a lot quicker than his." Her words caused a fire to surge through me.

'Expelliarmus!' I shouted in my mind. My movements were bold and brash, but I still managed to catch the Deatheater off guard. My hand swiftly caught the slightly bent wand, and I smirked triumphantly at the crazed woman. Bellatrix glared at me with so much animosity, I'm surprised I hadn't gone six feet under. It must have wounded her ego for such a juvenile spell to get the better of her.

"Liz we have to go!" Sirius and Remus shout in unison. A hand wraps around mine and the last thing I see before dissapperating is a blade hurdling my way.

A gasp escapes my lips as a pain radiates through my torso. My eyes widen when I look down to see the blade. I wrap my hand around the blade and pull it out. I feel my body falling but someone catches me before I can hit the ground.

(3rd POV)

Strangled breathing comes from Liz as she looks up at Remus. "I think it was a cursed blade." Liz tells him, knowing it came from Bellatrix. "I'm sorry that I didn't fight more f-for you when we were younger. All those memories of us were t-taken and I didn-"

"No. I'm so sorry." Remus protests. Rosalice looks at him with tears in her eyes. "Hold me." She whimpers. Remus wraps his arms better around the girl being careful around her wound. Her skin begins to pale and her once bright eyes eye began to dim. Remus cried over her and Rosalice tries to comfort her love not wanting to see him cry.

"It's okay. It's okay. It's okay." She repeats trying to not only convince Remus but herself as well.

"No." Remus shakes his head and tears stream down his face. "It's not supposed to end like this. You were supposed to live a long happy life with me. I was going to ask you too..

"I would've said yes, Moony,"

"I want you to still be able to say yes!"

"But I would've," She gasps out. "As long as I'm with you, I'd say yes in heartbeat. My moony, the most epic love of my life. The person whom I still managed to love even after...forgetting." Remus smiles sadly at her words. "The love that holds me as I die and still tries not to cry." A tear falls onto her cheek. "I love you, Remus Lupin." Blood stains her lips as she lets out a cough.

"I'll love you for the rest of my life." He whispers to the girl, an almost broken determination in his eyes. She shakes her head as more tears fall down her face.

"Don't." He looks at her in confusion. "Just love me for the rest of mine. I want you to live and love. Don't be afraid of love or what comes with it." She whispers. Her breathing becomes worse and she struggles to breath.

"I will but I'll still love you. Don't think I'll ever forget you. You're my heart Rosalice Masen."

Those were the last words Rosalice Elizabeth Masen heard before she died. A small smile formed on her face as the light left her eyes.

"No." Remus sobbed. His arms cradled her body and he looked for any sign of her still being alive. His sobs echoed through the the house. Sirius watched the two with tears streaming down his face. Remus brought his hand to her hair and gently kissed her forehead.

Sirius wiped away his tears before dissapperating to the hospital.

(St. Mungos Hospital)

Lily smiled at her baby boy with James at her side. "Padfoot! You made it!" James calls to his friend who just arrived. Lily looks up at Sirius with the smile still on her face.

"Where's Liz?" Her smile fades when she sees the tears in his eyes.

"Deatheater.... Attack... Bellatrix.... Blade... Liz.... Died." Sirius chokes out between sobs. The Potters look at each other with wide, teary eyes. A day of celebration has turned to a day of grieving.

A healer comes in and notices the crying family. "Umm What would you like to name him Mrs. Potter?" She asks awkwardly.

Lily looks down at her baby and recalls a memory of her and her late friend.

(Flashback)

"Admit it Lily! You like him!" Liz teases her friend. Lily blushes a red and buries her face in the pillow. Liz had been teasing her ever since the date at Hogsmeade.

"Okay maybe a little." She mumbles. Liz squeal in excitement.

"I knew it! I call naming your children." Lily throws the pillow at her friend while laughing. "If it's a boy..... I already know James will at least have the middle name be the same as his name." She thought for a second.

"Come on the future name of my children is at stake here!" Lily scolds playfully. Liz looks at her friend with a genuine smile.

"Harry. Name him Harry."

(End of Flash back)

"Harry." Lily says to the nurse. Her eyes shedding tears as she smiles at her son.

"His name is Harry."

*******

I was looking through this and I just wanted to post the ending. Life just happens after the 'Aftermath' chapter. Seth had already grown out of his crush and went back to just 'friendly imprint' and Liz chose Remus. I could've made it a happy endin but I never planned on it. Maybe one day I'll go back and revise and edit and make this less 'plot holey'.

Oh and in case you didn't realize it, Remus was planning to ask Liz to marry him. It would have been next month on her birthday

Xoxo,
