The year wore on and things continually became more and more awkward between James and Lily. Their head duties were all done in silence, the two of them only speaking to each other when it was necessary.

Lily watched from the side lines as James flirted and kissed other girls. Every time he passed her in the hall with one of those bimbos wrapped around him she felt fury and jealously rise up in her. She had yet to adjust to James not putting all of his efforts towards her. As much as it unsettled her to admit it, she missed his flirting and his jokes. She even missed the things about him that used to annoy her more than anything like the way he ran his hand through his jet black hair, or even how he used to ask her out. Lily actually missed James Potter.

October rolled around and with it came the first Hogsmeade visit. All of the population of Hogwarts, with the exception of those bellow third year, headed toward the village laughing and talking.

Lily walked with Abbie as they headed down to Hogsmeade. Alice had gone with her boyfriend, Frank, and Kathleen went with her boy of the week, Dylan. The two girls were laughing and talking about all sorts of things when they finally reached the village.

"Where do you want to go first?" Asked Lily, as she gazed around at all the lit up windows that help all sorts of things.

"Ohhh-Lets go to Honeydukes!" Abbie squealed "I need to stock up on chocolate frogs!"

"Ok! I want another sugar quill now that we are on the topic of sweets!"

The two best friends skipped off toward the shop. Upon arrival the shoved their way through the door and pushed through the pack of Hogwarts students to get the sweets they wanted. Abbie ended up getting a box of Cockroach Clusters, which she swore were tasty as anything despite their name, as well as her chocolate frogs. Lily left with two sugar quills and a few licorice wands.

"Where shall we go next?" Wondered Abbie as they strolled down the street of Hogsmeade.

"Let's go to the Three Broomsticks. I really want a cup of Butterbeer."

The Three Broomsticks was even busier then Honeydukes had been. Almost every table was taken but the girls managed to find one in the corner and plopped down in to the seats.

"I'll go get us drinks." Abbie hopped up from the table and made her way through the swarm of students to the bar. Lily watched her get the bar tenders attention and order two drinks, pay and pick up the drinks and expertly maneuver her way back to their table.

"Two butterbeers!" She said as she placed the drinks of the table.

The two girls each took a rather large drink and grinned as the warmth of the drink spread over their bodies.

The door to the Three Broomsticks opened and James Potter walked through the door with a blond Hufflepuff from 6th year hanging from his hand. He gazed around the pub and sought out an empty table. He found one and lead the girl to it and, after whispering something in her ear that made her giggle, headed off toward the bar to order their drinks.

Lily's green eyes followed him through out this entire routine and back to his table. He placed the two drinks in front of his self and the girl, but they never got around to much drinking. As soon as James butt his the chair the blond girl jumped in to his lap and proceeded to try and suck his face off with her lips. James didn't really respond, other than to wrap his arms around the girl, but he did not kiss her back nearly as much as she was kissing him.

Watching this scene, Lily's smile slipped off her face and she was no longer in the happy, light mood she had been in that morning.

She turned to Abbie who was watching her with an odd look on her face.

"Look Abbie, I'm sorry but I'm just not feeling that well anymore. Maybe I had too much candy" but they both knew that all of the candy she had bought was still safely stored in the bag lying at her feet "I think I'm going to head back up to the castle."

"Ok…do you want me to come with you?"

"Nah. You stay here, I'm sure you will be able to find someone to hang out with." And with a small hug and an even smaller wave Lily exited the pub and made her was back to Hogwarts.

James watched Lily leave over the shoulder of the girl sitting in his lap. Kristin? Was that he name? He couldn't remember. The girl had latched on to him as he and the Marauders headed toward the village and just never let go. He didn't mind though, she kept his mind off of a certain fiery red headed girl. But now that he had seen her, there was no way that he was going to be able to get her off his mind. Great.

Kristin continued kissing him. It was clear to him that she as not very experienced in this area; he got no enjoyment out of this kiss. His mind drifted off to the kiss that he had shared with Lily. Now that kiss he had gotten a lot of enjoyment out of.

"Jamieeeee" Kristin's voice whined. "Jamie why aren't you paying attention to me?"

"Sorry Kristin." James mumbled and was relieved when the girl didn't yell at him that her name was not Kristin, he had actually remembered it. He leaned and placed a quick peck on her lips. "There."

Kristin pouted "But Jamie! That wasn't a good enough kiss!" And she leaned in to him and placed her lips on his and proceeded to devour him with wet slobbery dog like kisses.

James was about to push her off his lap so that he could catch his breath when a scream rang out from the street out side of the pubs door.

All heads turned to look in the direction that the scream could be heard coming from and were shocked to see Alice running toward the Three Broomsticks almost crying.

"Death Eaters!" She screamed as she opened the door, "F-F-Frank and I were sitting out side when two of them came up to us. He…He told me to run and then pulled out his wand to take them on his own. I-I don't know what happened…I just ran. DEATH EATERS!" Alice crumbled to the floor and James saw Abbie run from somewhere in the back of the store to gather the small girl up in to her arms in a tight hug.

There was no time to think, James just pulled his wand out of his right pocket and a small mirror out of his left. Ignoring the loud "OUF!" of Kristin falling to the floor from his lap as he stood he yelled "PADFOOT!" in to the mirror. Shortly Sirius's face appeared in the mirror grinning at James.

"What's up Prongs? I'm kind of in the middle of something here" A girly giggle could be heard from the background.

"Padfoot. Death Eaters. Here. Find Moony and Wormtail. Meet me out side of the Three Broomsticks as soon as you can."

The grin vanished off of Sirius's face.

"James…James what are you planning on doing?"

"Just get Moony and Wormtail please."

Sirius nodded and quickly vanished from the mirror.

Screams could be heard from out side the Three Broomsticks and most of the students were trying to get as far away from the windows and doors as possible. James pushed his way through the crowd and opened the door.

"Potter! What do you think you are doing? Do you have a death wish?" A boy from seventh year Ravenclaw yelled at him.

James just gazed back at him, shook his head and walked out the door.

A few seconds after he stepped out, his wand held out in front of him, Sirius ran up to him with Remus in tow.

"I couldn't find Wormtail mate, maybe he has already headed back to the castle?"

"Maybe…listen. We need to help. Most of these people are panicking. We have to fight."

The other two boys nodded their heads in agreement. The three boys jumped in to the throng of wizards and witches who were dueling and started firing spells every which way.

"Well, well, well if it isn't wittle bitty Potter" A masked person stepped up to duel against James and he recognized the voice right away.

"Bellatrix" he said simple before sending a stupefy spell her way.

"AWWW! Stupefy! What a bitty baby hex Potter. Are you too scared to use big kid hexes now?" She laughed as she sent a purple light his way, he dodged it and quickly fired another jet of red light back at her.

"Come on Jamisey poo. I know you can do better then that. Don't be shy. Bellatrix isn't scared of you."

James continued to fire spells at her and she either blocked or dodged each one.

"Come now Jamesy…I am growing tired of this. Here this should make it a little more interesting. CRUCIO!"

James didn't have enough time to dodge the spell; he took it full force in to his chest. Right away he fell to the ground thrashing and screaming in complete and utter pain. Pain beyond what he believed pain could be, ever inch of his skin was on fire, being pierced by thousands of needles. His screams drowned out the rest of the fighting. Remus and Sirius ran towards him and quickly fired spells of their own at Bella. She dodged both of them but lost concentration while doing so and James was freed of the pain.

He lay curled up on the ground, shaking with pain for a few seconds before he slowly stood up and jumped back in to the dueling. Every part of his ached but he had to continue fighting.

"Thanks" he managed to yell to his two best friends and he rejoined them in fighting Bella.

It was clear that Bella was having difficulty holding all three of them, just barely avoiding their spells and hardly able to send one back their way. Slowly she began to back up and soon was lost in the crowd of duelers.

"Ug! Where did she go? BELLATRIX!! YOU COWARD COME OUT AND FIGHT!!" James screamed.

Both Sirius and Remus had already moved on to other Death Eaters surrounding them. James continued to look at the place where Bella had disappeared in to, shaking with fury and left over pain from the torture he had just gone through. Another Death Eater stepped out of the space that Bella had disappeared to and engaged James in a duel.

The two fought for a while before James was finally able to take his opponent down. As soon as the Death Eater fell another took his place.

This Death Eater was much harder to duel with then the one had been before. It was clear that he was much stronger. James as sending a curse at him when he heard Sirius yell from some where behind him. "REMUS!!! REMUS!"

James quickly turned to see his Remus lying on the ground, unconscious.

"YOU BLOODY BASTARD!" Sirius screamed at the Death eater who must have sent the curse. He attacked him with such ferocity that the Death Eater became scared and ran away, disappearing into the crowd. As soon as the Death Eater disappeared Sirius turned to Remus on the ground and began checking for a pulse. It was then that he looked up and saw James staring and the two of them.

James saw Sirius notice him watching and yelled to him "What happened?"

Sirius's eyes went wide with complete terror "Behind you!!" he screamed at him.

James' own eyes went wide as he remembered the Death Eater he had been dueling, he had completely forgotten about him when he heard Sirius yell. James quickly spun around. The man was much closer now and James could see his cold black eyes through the holes in his mask.

As if in slow motion the man lifted his wand and pointed it at James. Bright yellow light shot at James from the Death Eaters wand. James saw the spell hurtling towards him but he could not move in time. He felt rather then saw it make contact with his body. Pain ripped through his body and he dropped to the ground. He felt wet sticky blood begin to spill from his head as it struck the ground.

"JAMES!" He heard Sirius scream as he lay still on the ground, people fighting and running about all around him. He felt hands grip at his, heard other people other then Sirius calling his name. He tried to respond but he had no control over his body, or voice. Slowly he fell in to unconscious. The blackness embraced him and his eyes slowly fell shut, blocking out all that was happening around him.
