Broken

Prologue

Disclaimer: JK Rowling owns the concept and characters of Harry Potter, the song Broken is by Seether featuring Amy Lee, I suggest you listen to it! I own nothing except the basic story plot and a love for the song.

"Professor! Sirius!" 20 year old James Potter exclaimed after opening the door to the two wizards on his doorstep. "What brings you here?" he shot a curious glance to his best friend Sirius Black, who avoided his gaze.

"How's that head wound coming?" Proffesor Albus Dumbledore asked kindly.

James put a finger to the long red cut down the side of his face. "Healing nicely! I'll be back in action any time now. Those Aurors can't live without me forever." He smirked.

"Is Lily at home James?" There was an urgency in Dumbledore's normally twinkling eyes.

"Lily?" James smiled at the thought of his beautiful fiery wife. They had just gotten married, and James couldn't believe his luck. How he loved that girl! "No, she's not back yet."

Dumbledore sighed and Sirius immediately stepped beside his best friend, a sad look in both their eyes. Sirius looked almost exactly like James, except the latter had messy black hair and glasses covering the bright amber eyes, but both boys had a constant mischievous glint in their eyes.

"What?" James asked, suddenly wary. "What's going on?"

"James, Lily has now just been confirmed missing." Sirius said slowly. "Since she's not at home or with the other Aurors, we don't know where she is and she isn't responding."

"He-she's not-not with-not Him?" James stumbled, trying to collect his thoughts.

"I'm afraid that Voldemort probably did capture her." Dumbledore said heavily. James' body sagged with disbelief. "But not all hope is gone yet." Dumbledore laid a hand on the despairing boy in front of him. Come, there is much to do." And in a flurry of action, Dumbledore apparated back to the Headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix.

"We'll get her back, mate." Sirius said bracingly to his shocked best friend. He apparated both himself and James after Dumbledore, where they found the Order already gathering.

Looks of remorse and pity were thrown at James, but he saw none of this. James numbly sat in his chair. At the mention of his name he was brought back to reality.

"Probably Voldemort captured Lily so as to also get James, now we must-"

To get him, James, as well? James' stomach fell with the despair.

"WHY is a filthy Mudblood in our hands and still alive?" demanded Bellatrix Black.

"Now, now Bella," soothed Rodolphus Lestrange, her fiancé. "Be nice to our guest." He sneered. "You can kill her as soon as Potter's dead."

Bellatrix smiled. "I suppose we'll attack while he tries to make a daring rescue for his precious flower." Bellatrix spat the word flower out like it was poison. "He's always playing hero."

"Exactly darling." Rodolphus smirked. "The Dark Lord wants to stop this prophecy thingy before it happens."

"Butâ€surely not the Potter's possible child? Look at Longbottom and his wife. Their future child would be worthy of our Lord's attention, not this Mudblood's child."

"Oh, I agree dear, but the Dark Lord works in mysterious ways. Don't worry, the Longbottoms will get what they deserve in time."

Pain. Pain was all Lily Potter could feel, see, hear and taste. It was everywhere She wished it would stop, she wished she could scream, but Lily would not give the Death Eater standing over her that satisfaction. She could taste the blood from her lips as she bit down hard as another wave of torture struck her body.

A harsh voice cackled. "That's enough for now." He roughly lifted Lily's face so her emerald eyes were defiantly staring in to the blackness of the Death Eater's hood. "Wouldn't want to permanently damage a pretty thing like you yet. You could be useful for," he paused as he lifted an eyebrow suggestively "other things." He laughed again and threw the petite witch into a corner and exited the cell, twirling Lily's wand in his gloved fingers. "Come on Malfoy."

"Don't tell me what to do Lestrange!" Malfoy's remark left Lestrange unfazed.

Lily groaned and picked herself up, only to be strong enough to slump against the wall. She feebly raised a hand to push her long red hair off of her face. It was matted with blood. Lily sighed as she wished she could have kneed that pig right where he deserved.

How had this happened? How had she become Voldemort's prisoner? All she could remember was a flash of green light and her partnered Auror, Cate Peters, had slumped beside her, dead. A flash of white light and Lily knew no more.

She had woken up in this damp, dark cell from a kick in the stomach. There were voices that she knew as Lucius Malfoy and Rodolphus Lestrange. Lily didn't know how long it had been or how long it will be until they killed her. All she could think of was her beloved James. Was he safe? Or was he trying to foolishly look for her himself? She knew that was the Death Eaters' plan.

"James, James" Lily moaned as she slipped in and out of consciousness.

A/N: A little drama maybe, so please Review! Next chapter, the actual song part.
