Um...oops?
*gets punched by pissed off friends who kept telling me to update*
Okay, okay, yeah I took forever with this, I know! I'm always going on about how I hate authors not updating and I did that!
But I am updating because...
IT IS HALLOWEEN! DO YOU ALL KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?
It is the anniversary of Lily and James Potter's deaths.
*sobs hysterically because I'm a big Lily/James fan, plus I am a huge Lily fan and a huge James fangirl*
The beginning of Harry, Sirius and Remus' crappy lives.
*sigh*
Why do the good die young?
And DON'T start on that "James is a bullying git" speech Snape Fans! C'mon Snape could have walked away but NOOOO! He had to stay and then he called Lily and Mudblood.
...Besides James needs someone to keep him in line XD
I'm sure Remus gets fed up with trying to get him to sit down and shut up, I know I would...I have to do that daily with one of my friends... *cough*Tanya*cough*
Oh and, um, there's gonna be no Horcruxes because it would take forever to find them and Harry has little over a week at this rate in the story...plus I'm just not bothered with Horcruxes, they annoy me XD
ANYWAY...Here is the update!
Hopefully enjoy!

...
Now that Dumbledore was out of the picture Harry could finally concentrate on training and he was getting along with his parents and brother a bit better.
Sure things were pretty strained but now that they knew the truth they could work past it, thankfully.
...
"So what will we need to learn?" Angelina asked Harry. They were all in the Room of Requirement.
"Well I was thinking of starting with the basics" said Harry.
"Like what?" Dean asked.
"Just stuff like Expelliarmus and Stupefy. Y'know, freshen up a bit" said Harry.
"Don't know what good that'll do against You-Know-Who" Ron said "But it would take the Death Eaters by surprise if we all just Stunned them...sounds good."
"Thanks Ron. So we're all going to pair up. Seamus you're against Dean. Neville against Ernie. Hannah against Susan. Angelina against Alicia. Katie against Fred. George against Justin...Luna against Lee, Neville against me, Ron against Hermione, Mum against Dad, Alex against Percy and Sirius against Remus. Ginny I'll go against you once I've fought Neville okay?" said Harry going over his list.
Everyone nodded, though Ron looked rather afraid and who could blame hime?
They all paired up and Harry yelled "Three...two...one...GO!"
"Expelliarmus!" everyone yelled.
Dean beat Seamus, Neville beat Ernie, Susan beat Hannah, Angelina beat Alicia, Fred beat Katie, George and Justin somehow managed to Disarm each other at the same time, Luna surprisingly beat Lee, Harry beat Neville, Hermione beat Ron (which wasn't that surprising honestly), Lily beat James (again it wasn't that surprising) Percy beat Alex and Sirius beat Remus.
Ginny was laughing her ass off at her brother's expression.
"Oh Ron" she muttered "When will you learn?"
"Good job everyone" said Harry. "Let's go again..."
...
Two Hours Later
...
By this time everyone had tired themselves out.
"That went well" said Harry as Lee got to his feet, having been Stunned by Luna...again...
Percy checked his watch. "Everyone it's time for dinner" he said.
"Good!" said Ron "I'm starving!"
"And you don't want to be beaten by Hermione again" said Fred grinning.
"No" said Ron, "I really am hungry!"
"No surprise there" muttered Ginny as everyone left.
...
The Great Hall
...
This time everyone sat at the respective tables instead of mixing it up.
"Hey Harry" said Terry Boot "Anthony, Michael and I were wondering if we could join that group of yours."
"How did you know about that?" asked Harry.
"Even walls have ears" said Michael Corner.
"No, really" said Neville "How did you find out?"
"Heard Peeves going on about it" said Anthony Goldstein.
"So can we join?" asked Terry.
"Sure" said Harry "The more help the better!"
"Thanks mate" said Terry grinning "You won't regret it!"
"I hope we don't regret it" said George as the boys left.
"Yeah...is Quidditch practice on later?" Fred asked. "I want to see ickle Ronnie make a fool of himself!"
"Nah it's raining" said George "So Angelina cancelled their practice. Shame, I wanted to see if any of them would fall off."
"I have seen Ronald play" said Luna in her usual airy voice "And he's actually rather good. He lacks confidence but he is good."
"What position is he?" Neville asked.
"Keeper" said Luna "But you know, I think Angelina should help him with his confidence, not badger him every time he gets nervous."
Before she could continue however the doors to the Great Hall opened and Severus Snape came in, leaning heavily on his left leg. He looked all set to faint.
He hobbled up to McGonagall and said "The D-Dark Lord...has made new plans...He found out that Dumbledore is gone...so he is going to attack in three days...He knows I'm a spy, I wouldn't have gotten out if it wasn't for Narcissa! He's going to kill Dumbledore in Azkaban and then he plans to tear Hogwarts to the ground!"
And then he did faint.
...
There was silence in the Great Hall as everyone took the news in.
No-one moved, they scarcely breathed until Madame Pomfrey conjured a stretcher and took Snape to the Hospital Wing.
The moment she left everyone began talking.
The older years were yelling, some swearing, some saying they were going to leave before Voldemort could kill them.
The younger years looked near tears, some First Years actually were crying!
McGonagall went after Snape and Pomfrey, no doubt to find out more information.
Lily, James, Remus and Sirius immediately sent Patronuses to the rest of The Order of The Phoenix.
Harry on the other hand was sitting frozen on the bench.
He thought it was bad before but now...three days? Bloody hell!
"This is not good" said Fred.
"Really, really not good!" said George.
"Three days...three bloody days!" said Neville who had gone very pale.
"Harry?" said Luna taking his hand. "Harry? Harry are you okay?"
She knew it was a silly question but it was all that came to mind.
Harry again 'Pulled A Sirius' and summed up the situation in one word; "Shit."
