Author's Note: This story was written for the Cipher Anniversary challenge. (Prompt: story must contain an anniversary, a death, or a birth, and be at least 2007 words.) Also, it takes place in the same world as my Halcyon Days series, so the explanation behind some of the settings and the character of Juliet derive from there.
Disclaimer: I don’t own these characters; I just play with them and hope they enjoy it. (No children were hurt in the process of said "play") All characters you recognize are property of JK Rowling, Bloomsbury Books, Scholastic Inc., Warner Bros., et cetera et cetera.
Summary: Lily and James have a wonderful first wedding anniversary, but it leads to more than either of them would have expected. In a time of war, their love can do many things: it can bring life, and it can bring death.
