I ran as fast as my legs could take me, every now and then jumping to miss a curse or deflecting some with my wand.

'I can't go much further' I am ready to collapse. 'No it's just a little further you can do it' said a second voice in my head. I can hear Remus heavy breathing behind me.

I run around the last corner and I can see the rest of my team are all there.

'Thank Merlin there safe' out of the corner of my eye I see a purple light heading my way really fast.

'I'm not going to make it,' its to high to jump and to fast to deflect, I ready myself for the blow. But I don't feel anything I look to the side and see a frozen purple light one meter away from me.

'Merlin bless Remus'

"Well done everyone, you all pasted you final training, but remember that that was just training the real thing you're not going to have any second chance" Moody informs us.

Remus and I collapse on the floor and lay flat on the floor panting.

"Constant Vigilance" Moody suddenly shouts at us, "You aren't going to have the time to rest you need to get used to being tired" He growls. I groan and the people surrounding us laugh.

I opened the door to the apartment I shared with Tanie; I hung my coat up, took my shoes off and dumped my bag on the floor. I walked into the kitchen and saw that Tanie had already started on dinner.

I took a seat, folded my arms on the table and rested my head on them.

"Hey Lils how was your day" she asked

"We finished our training and Moody says were going to start in two days and Alex and I are going to have coffee together tomorrow" I said happily. Tanie squealed, dropped whatever she was doing and hugged me. I laughed

"Ah honey I so happy for you, your finally going to get laid again" She said going back to what she was doing previously.

"Tanie its just coffee and I have been laid many times before thank you very much"

I said defending myself.

"Other than James" she said smirking. I glared at her playfully. She laughed.

Later that night Tanie and I were sitting on the couch watching Grey's Anatomy when we heard a tapping on the window in the kitchen; Tanie got up and opened the window. A large brown handsome owl flew in, dropped a letter on Tanie's seat and flew back out. I heard Tanie close the window. I picked up the letter and paled when I saw it was a black letter.

I turned it over praying it wasn't for me, saying that Petunia was dead. I was momentarily relieved when I saw what was written of the front.

To Miss Catalani Delour

196 Waddle St Battaina, London-England

There was a ministry seal on the back. I felt Tanie sit back down and stiffen when she saw the letter.

"Whose it for" she asked shakily. I handed the letter to her. She let out a little sob and tears were appearing at the corners of her eyes.

I wrapped my arms around her shoulders as she tore the Ministry seal and took the letter out and read. With each sentence she read more and more tears poured down her face.

"He's dead, Aaron he's dead, no, no, this can't be happening" she buried her face in my shoulder and cried. Aaron was Tanie's Older brother who had been working on special missions for the Phoenix. We sat there for a few hours before her crying ceased and I noticed that she had fallen asleep. Just as I was about to get up and levitate her to her bead a face popped up in our fireplace.

"Hey Lils, do you mind if I come round I'm absolutely bored" he said. I shook my head, I could use his help. Within seconds Sirius was standing in front of the fireplace carrying two bottles of Firewhiskey.

His eyes landed on Tanie and then the letter in her hand.

"Who was it?" He asked his eyes not coming off the letter.

"Aaron" I said quietly. He nodded. He walked over to the couch and picked the now awake Tanie up and carried her into her room. I could hear her crying again and Sirius comforting her.

It was times like these I wish I had James to Take me in his arms and tell me everything was going to be alright, that he would fix it all and make it better; and he would, just by being there he could make me feel better.

I curled up into a ball on the couch and slowly started to cry.

"James"
