Dicsclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.
A seventeen year old, red haired young girl was sitting in the snow surrounding the Shrieking Shack muttering angrily to herself about something. This is Lily Evans, student, witch, Gryffindor and Head Girl at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The something she was muttering about was Hogwarts' Head Boy, James Potter.
"What is it with him? Six years of being an annoying arrogant, bullying, little toerag and now he's polite, well-mannered and actually appears to take our Head duties seriously. It's so infuriating, maybe he's planning something, getting us all to think he's changed and he'll prank us all again. He's not even asking me out everyday anymore, not that I'm complaining about it," muttered Lily, a defiant yet confused expression on her face.
Just then, a dark haired boy with glasses came over the hill,
"Hello Evans," he called. Speak of the devil, thought Lily as she got up to greet the boy.
"What do you want Potter?" she asked in a bored voice. He smiled and replied,
"just to talk to about something." Before she could reply the voice of Sirius Black came from James' coat pocket shouting,
"James Potter!" over and over again.
James turned away from Lily, took a mirror out of his pocket and started talking into it. Lily could only hear snippets of his conversation,
"…you serious?...up by that cave…she's with me…" and she couldn't understand any of it
James turned to Lily, a worried expression on his face,
"Death Eaters are approaching Hogsmeade, we need to get the students out of there, Sirius and Remus are alerting the villagers, come on." Lily was dumbfounded, Death Eaters in Hogsmeade? Pulling herself together, she followed James, Apparating to the main street of Hogsmeade.
Once there, James pointed his wand at his own throat and said Sonorus. Immediately his voice amplified and he called,
"All Hogwarts students return to the castle immediately by order of the Head Boy and Girl." Students came out of all of the shops and started to walk up to the castle at quite a slow pace so James added,
"Will the prefects make sure everyone gets up to the castle as quickly as possible as this is an emergency."
Lily came running up to James,
"Potter, we need to check that there are no students left here, you check that side of the street and I'll check this side. Oh, someone has to tell Dumbledore too." James turned towards Hogwarts and cast a Patronus. Lily looked at him in shock and half-asked, half-declared,
"You're in the Order-"
Here James interrupted,
"Not here, come on, let's move…and yes."
They split up when James went into the Hog's Head and Lily went into the Three Broomsticks where Madam Rosmerta quickly informed her,
"I sent all of the kids up to the castle after your announcement, I went to all of the shops along this street." Lily was very grateful and when she left the pub after thanking Madam Rosmerta, she went up to the other end of the village where the locals lived to warn them.
The Death Eaters were already there. She saw and old man running away and Stunned the Death Eater chasing him but then another turned to her and attempted to Stun her. However, she simply disarmed him.
"Expelliarmus," called another Death Eater but Lily deflected it. She then cast a Trip Jinx on him and he fell flat on his face. "Expelliarmus," cried James who had just arrived, as he spotted a Death Eater whose wand was pointed straight at Lily.
They carried on fighting for a while but the two students were greatly outnumbered. Lily was the first to fall, swiftly followed by James, each on the recieving end of a powerful Stunning Death Eaters then quickly Disapparated from the village, carrying the teenagers' unconscious bodies with them.
