Challenge: #154 - Circle of Life
Lily ran for little Harry's room while James stood in Voldemort's way.
Voldemort laughed as James died.
Now, here, it was the end. Lily touched Harry's cheek one last time. He frowned, confused. He didn't know his father was dead.
Voldemort offered to let her live if she stood aside to let him kill Harry.
She didn't move, didn't flinch as he raised his wand. She'd made this decision first time she'd seen Harry's green eyes. She'd stand between him and death, even to keep him alive for one minute more.
As green light flew towards her, she wasn't sorry.

Her parents had been so surprised when she turned out to be a Metamorphagus. Her father was excited: what a skill his daughter had!
Andromeda had been more practical. For years, she quietly tutored Nymphadora to use the unique talent to her advantage, changing her accent, her mannerisms; always cautioning her to hide how much she could do.
It rankled at Tonks, but in spite of that, she never told anyone, not even during her Auror training, the full extent of her skills.
Her name may be different, but Tonks knew it was part of being raised a Black woman.
