Four seventeen year old girls were walking home from a New Years Party at a muggle Night Club. A black haired girl talked to a brown haired girl and a blond haired girl while the red-haired one walked in silence. Marlene McKinnon was talking to Jade Sheeara about the club that they had just come from.

"Did you see the that guy start to dance on the tables?" The black haired Marlene asked, clearly disgusted at the behavior of this strange man that she didn't even know.

"Totally disgusting even if he was hot. He couldn't even get his pelvic thrusts right." Dorcas a blond in looks only, managed to giggle out.

"Not amusing." Marlene huffed.

"Awww, You're just ruffled because he started to ask you out and when you said no he started to try to kiss you." Dorcas then proceeded to laugh out right.

"Even if it was Lewd you have to admit that it was hilarious."

"The, what was it that you called it Lily? DJ couldn't even find a decent song, and that guy so totally ruined my night." Marlene proceeded to pout.

The third girl of the group was Lily Evans. It was she who had suggested that the go to this muggle night club. She had not planned on the guys that she been a muggle club drinking the amount that they did. It had become very rowdy very fast so the girls had left, found an alley way and apparated while being tailed by three guys that were intoxicated and interested. that they had gone to at the request of their third friend Lily Evans. Unless with her friends she was quiet. She had a secret that only her friends knew and she intended for it to stay that way.

She realized that Marlene was talking to her and she responded.

"Yes it's a DJ and yes we get the point, you think the club sucked." Lily toned. Her friends were like this all the time. She rolled her emerald eyes ,not yet done teasing Marlene though.

"Wonder why the guy went for you only? I mean it's not like your hot or anything."

"I'll have you know that... you sly fox! But you're right he went for me and my cuteness."

The fourth girl, the brown haired Jade, who had kept your sarcastic comment to herself

until that moment spoke.

"Maybe he was just checking to see if he could see down your shirt." Jade started to wobble from the other side of the group pretending to be drunk. This caused Marlene to blush. She was very self conscious.

Lily in the midst of all the rivalry thought of Voldemort and how he wanted her and her blood. Just the other day she had gotten her Hogwarts letter. This was closely followed by a letter with the simple words 'run mudblood, he is going to get you, run' Lily was scared and had immediately taken her and her family under his wing. He also asked permission and brought her friends over to keep her company. Lily was happy for the time being. Who wouldn't be with friends like hers. As they came into view of Lily's house Lily suddenly thought she saw a shadow.

"Hey guys I think I saw something." Lily announced quietly. "Get your hands on your wands but look inconspicuous while doing so. We all know the probability of getting attacked even though we are not that far from the house."

All the girls reached inside their clubbing outfits. All of them were now on the edge waiting for the attack that was sure to come even though they were withing 50 yards of the house. Now silent they walked ears perked and eyes pealed for anything to unusual. 30 yards, 20 yards, 15 yards only 10 yards away from the house it happened.

A figure in black swished out in front of them. He, she, it scanned the faces of the girls and came to rest on Lily.

"I warned you what was about to happen mudblood. I warned you." The dark, obviously man hissed. "AVADA KE-"

Suddenly the figure in black was broken off by another figure in a deep blue set of robes. The figure in blue wasted no time sending a stunner toward the person in black. The figure in black dodged the stunner and sent another killing curse towards the girls hero. Suddenly there were five more of the deatheaters. The first into action Lily stepped forward and yelled "Incarcerous".

One of them the tallest fell to the ground bound in ropes. Jade then stepped forward with Marlene and together they yelled "Stupefy."

The two deatheaters in the front fell down petrified.

Meanwhile Dorcas and Lily had stepped behind the two girls to make sure that they weren't attacked from behind. Ten more deatheaters came. Suddenly

Lily felt a little strange. She lifted her chin up and looked toward the stars. She saw all of them look down on her and she threw her chin down to her chest and immediately snapped it up again. She crouched down and leaped into the air above her friends. She started to spin and as her hair spun around her a fiery-red shield sprung up around them. As the man tried to get through he could not. Her friends continued to stun and bind the deatheaters until only two were left. A slightly stumpy deatheater and the tall man with the voice that sounded like a hiss.

Lily spun faster and faster until her friends could no longer see her. The stumpy little deatheater turned and ran. However the man with the hiss like voice still was facing the man in the blue robes. Then after dodging a particularly difficult spell the man with the blue robes said to the man with the hiss like voice "Voldemort, I should have known. Listen you leave Lily and her friends alone right now and I don't bind you up and drag you in to the authorities."

The man with the hiss like voice or Voldemort said "You know what Harry for now I think I will. Til next time and just as the man started to spin a graceful red arc came out of the shield that Lily had spun and hit him causing him to scream in agony. He finished turning but it had burned a whole the size of a Snitch ,wings included, in his chest. Lily then slowly started to stop spinning with each rotation of her body she became lower and lower to the ground. When she finally touched down she hit the ground like she was dead. The man in the blue robes, or Harry, was about to run to her, the shield forgotten but the girls held him back. Jade stepped forward and knelt down by her chest.

"There's no heartbeat and she's definitely not breathing."

"Get back, Get back Jade hurry. As Jade ran back. Lily's body started to hover above the ground at approximately three feet. The shield started to collapse on top of Lily but then it shot up above her in a ray of red light and it hit into Lily like a ton of bricks. She woke up gasping.

"Whew. What happened? Why are we outside? We were just walking home. Weren't we? Where am I?" Lily asked all of these questions at once. All the while the girls noticed that her normally pale face was getting even paler.

"Last question first. You are on the ground after using those powers." Marlene announced. Marlene who had been the first to step forward was now behind her supporting her back. Dorcas stepped forward and stood in front of one of her knees because she was sitting indian style.

"We are outside as you mentioned, and you were correct we were just walking home but,"

"Sorry to put it bluntly but we were attacked by him, and about twenty of them." Jade announced while stepping forward to Lily's other knee. Both girls extended there hands at the same time. As Lily took them Marlene stepped off to Lily's left and was there to catch her as she promptly started to crumple to her left.

"Gotcha, Lily listen to me. I know that you have used a lot of energy and you are having trouble focusing but you need to listen." A paper white face turned to look up at Marlene's 5'11 frame.

"We are going to side apparate to Hogsmeade. From there we are going to go up to Hogwarts. " Marlene turned her head to look at the other girls.

"Dorcas, You need go with Mr..."

"Potter, Harry Potter."

"You will go with Mr. Potter here to the auror department at the Ministry of Magic. Get an auror or two to guard the Evans's house. Also tell them about the threat. Jade you know the Evans the best so you are charged with brining them up to date. I am going to take Lily to Hogwarts. St. Mungo's just isn't safe enough. Ready Move."

On this command four people apparated into the night.
