A/N: ... Hmmm... It's chapter 20, wow I'm surprised. Please enjoy and review!
A Loved One Being Hurt
Remus's p.o.v
"Whoo there Remus, careful mate." James says picking up the glass I knocked over, with my nervous shaking hands. As soon as lunch is over, I'm gonna meet Casey outside the Great Hall. And...
I have absolutely no idea what to do. Or say for that matter.
In the seat across of mine, Lily is sitting on the edge of her chair making small eager jumps. I feel her silent preassure on me, so I look at Summer instead. She lifts her hand and wave at somebody, I turn my head to follow her gaze and see Casey wave back at her from the crowded Hufflepuff table. I quickly turn my head away and reach out for more bread, knocking another glass over.
"You have to pull yourself together, girls like guys with confidence." Sirius point's at Summer behind her back, so she wont see.
She roll her eyes at me "A little confidence is great, but don't overdo it like Sirius. And speaking of him, would you please stop pointing at me?" She turn her head against him. Apparently she saw.
"Oow." I complain holding a hand over my stomach, I've eaten to much because I'm nervous about meeting Casey. "Are you done now?" Lily ask me strict, I think she suspects my little plan. I nod, and Summer, James, Peter, Sirius and Lily all rise from the table. I follow them and sneak a glance at Casey who's getting up to.
My attempt to be brave by walking over to her and say hi, fails when I walk straight into her friend on the way and end up stuttering "Hi-i Ca-a-as-ey." She grins a little, but smile at me and say "Hi."
Luckily I've never had any problems talking to Casey so our walk down to Hogsmeade isn't filled with awkard silences. The problem appears when we're actually in Hogsmeade.
"Where do you wanna go?" She ask me, and I sigh with relief when I remember there's a brand new broom on the market, and since both me and Casey love Quidditch we could go check it out. I suggest it to Casey, who nods.
When we turn against the Quidditch Shop we see Summer and Sirius snuggled up in front of it, drooling over the new broom. "Wanna go someplace else?" Casey ask me, and I suggest the Three Broomsticks instead. On our walk over to the pub we see Lily and James, with their fingers laced and his lip's upon her's, enter it.
"I suppose we could still go in?" Casey say, not sounding like she actually means it.
We end up in some small café, smothered in pink and filled with couples from Hogwarts. "A table for two, please." I tell the woman who greet us at the door, when she leads us to a table in the back I notice that there's only table for two's in here.
"Two Butterbeer's." I order before she walk's away again. I led my hands rest on the table, and so does Casey. Just as I'm about to place my hand over her's, the waitress returns with our order. "Here you go, loves." She give's a Butterbeer to each of us, and I mutter a thank you.
A small giggle escape from Casey, and I ask her what she's laughing about, praying I don't have anything on my face or something like that.
"It's just, this reminds me of a scene from this book The Blue Bicycle." I gasp, that's my favorite muggle-book "You read that?" I ask her surprised. She nods and look's surprised to "I thought I was the only one at Hogwarts, who'd read that book." "Me to." She smiles at me.
The next half hour flyes as we discuss our favorite book's and author's. The conversation is disturbed by a giant, unexpected bang from the street.
We run out of the café along with the other couples, and we're met by chaos. A lot of the mainstreet is covered in sod, after a spell blew up a part of it. The Quidditch shop is a broken building, and small bit's of glass now. Fear rush through my body as I see the huge amount of Death Eaters throwing curses everywhere. Another giant bang sounds, and when the smoke after it lightens I see two Death Eaters dragging away Sirius and Summer, both of them are either unconscious or stunned. Casey is sobbing hystericlly beside me, and I reach out to hold her back as she's about to pursue the two Death Eaters.
"Casey! Get your wand!" I order her, guilt is tearing me apart when I yell at the frustrated girl. I want to cry, and rescue my friends as well, but I know it's impossible and the best to do is to stay and fight the remaining Death Eaters.
"Moony, where's Padfoot and Summer?" James scream at me, when he's running toward me casting several curses at the attacking Death Eaters at the same time. I pull both him and Casey behind a bench for cover.
"Where's Lily?" I ask James concerned, and to win time before I have to tell him about Sirius and Summer.
"Stunned her, so she's safe with Rosmerta inside the Three Broomsticks. Rosmerta called for Dumbledore and the other's, they should be here soon." He stand's up to cast a spell, before ducking down to hide again. He can't help to hold a smirk back, at the thought of what he did to Lily. Casey is still sobbing besides me, and James notice my lost look and realise something is wrong. He look around the street frantic and ask me once again where Summer and Sirius are.
"Two Death Eaters dragged them away before. They were either unconscious or stunned." I inform him. By the look of his face I can see he's about to yell something, when a loud gasp followed by small intense screams are heard from Casey.
She's lying on the ground, obviously wincing, turning around and crying from extreme pain. Someone has cast the Cruciatos Curse on her.
As I watch her without being able to do anything, I realise the most painfull thing I have ever experienced is watching someone you love, feeling pain and being hurt when you're unable to stop it.
As sudden as the spell started, it end's. Casey is lying lifeless on the ground, and she's only breathing shallow. I place her upper-body over my legs, and whisper silly, but comforting things in her ear. Her breathing becomes more shallow so I whisper "Breathe, please sweetie breathe." Over and over again.
James is standing up all the time now, and he's hit by a spell once but he ignores it. "Dumbledore." Relief is one of the things his voice contains as he scream the name of the person, I trust to be able to help.
"Get him over here, Casey need's help!" I order James, not thinking about the opportunity that other's may be needing help also.
"Take her to St. Mungo's!" James order me back, he wince of pain from the spell that hit him earlier.
"Fine, but you're coming with us!" I grab him just before I apparate away from the battle scene, and into the hospital.
A mediwitch is with us from the moment we fall onto the floor. I can barely apparate by myself, and this time I had to bring two people along with me.
James is led into one room, screaming and kicking in protest over not being at the battle, and Casey is brought into another.
"Can I come with her?" I ask the mediwitch who's taking care of her. She nod's distant, as she explains what's wrong to a healer. I sit rigid on a chair in the back of the room, following all the healers and mediwithces movements as they attempt to keep Casey alive.
Once more I agree with myself. The most painfull thing a human being can ever experience is to watch a loved one being hurt, and being in pain.

Summer's p.o.v
My eyes are forced open, and they observe that I'm in a room that is very simmilar to my old room in my house. My head, and entire body hurts and I close my eyes to sleep it of. It's nice to make myself comfortable in my old bed, and when I look around I even find my teddy-bear I've had since I was 3.
Once I wake up again I'm in a hospital. Everything still hurts, and I look around desperate after someone who can explain why I'm here, and what happened at my home since I'm here. There are other bed's in the room, but no one is lying in them and there are no healers to be seen anywhere.
"Sirius!" I call out. He has to at least be here.
No boy with long black hair, and amazing worried grey eyes rush into the room as I hoped he would. I call for him again, but I'm still alone in the white, clean room.
"Lily, James, Remus?" I scream scared, why am I alone in a hospital? And if I'm in a hospital why aren't Sirius with me? Or my other friends?
"Casey, aunt Helen?" I try one last time, even though I've already given up hope.
Another thing I don't understand is why I'm in so much pain, if I'm in a hospital. There should be medicine.
Sirius's p.o.v
Tears are streaming down my face, as I'm being hold captive in a dark, filthy room. It's cold in here, and I'm forced to lean up against a moist, hard stonewall.
My arms and legs are covered in blood, and even my hair is covered in blood. My head hurts, and I've got open wounds up and down my arms and legs.
But all these things are nothing compared to what I'm forced to watch.
A Death Eater is standing constantly pointing his wand at Summer, who's lying on the floor crying out in pain, and crying out after me. They're keeping her in some sort of illusion. Several times I've tried to get over to her, but every time another Death Eater kick's me back, or ad's another wound to my already beaten up body.
The most painfull I've ever experienced is watching someone I love being hurt, and feeling pain when I'm unable to do anything.
"Sirius!" Summer's cry is painfull, scared and, perhaps the worst, it sound like she's given up hope.
I crawl toward her on my stomach, and whisper "Summer." The pain that rush through my body is almost unbeareble, but the Death Eater didn't kick me back this time, so I have to keep trying to reach her.
Just as I reach out my hand to take her's, the Death Eater grabs me, and throw me back against the stonewall. I pass out as the pain from the hit, is registred by my head.

It's even colder when I open my eyes again, but this time there's only one Death Eater in the room now. He's small, and standing close to me. He isn't pointing his wand at Summer like the other one did. Just as I'm wondering if I can take out the Death Eater, I realise something is missing inside the room.
It's Summer's breathing.
I can see her body lying the same place as before, but I can't hear her breathing.
She must be... dead.
I scream, try to stand, fall down again and I cry. I cry more tears than I have ever cried before.
The Death Eater in the room doesn't react until I move against Summer, then he push me back. I'm in the middle of screaming a very mean sentence at him, when another Death Eater enter's the room. He whisper's something to the small Death Eater in a hurry, and then they both stand straight.
My blood freeze to ice, and I stop screaming as none other than Lord Voldemort come's in, in a long black robe that make his white skin seem even paler, and his red eyes more scary.
My heart is pounding like crazy as the man reason to so much unhappyness, so much loss and so much pain look at my suffering girlfriend with a little smile playing around his mouth, and the pure evil shinning in his eyes.
If I had my wand, I would have attacked him. It's actually my luck that I don't have it, since I'm clever enough to not attack Voldemort with anything but my bare hands.
Slowly the maniac turn and let his eyes rest upon all my wounds, and scars. He's still smiling that little sick smile, and an unknown feeling fill's my body. I have never before wanted to kill someone as bad as I want to kill that man, and I have never enjoyed the thought of dead. But the thought of this man's death, make me smile a wicked smile.
The smile soon fade away though, as the my feelings begin to scare myself.
Voldemort raise his wand and point it at me. I know what's gonna come next, and I know that there's no way to escape it. I regret not being able to deffend myself.
Just as I close my eyes, I hear a third person enter the room.
"Dumbledore is here, with other members!" A voice says, sounding panicked. I open my eyes, suddenly feeling hope. I enjoy the look of fear in Voldemort's eyes as much as he had enjoyed the look of pain on me.
He only has time to pronounce "Avada." Before he's stunned, by Dumbledore who come's running into the room followed by several others. The small Death Eater flee the room, and the two other's carry Voldemort out of there. Two people I don't know the names of follow them, as Dumbledore walk over to Summer's lifeless body.
"She's dead." I cry, when he lift her up in his old, but strong arms. McGonagall is helping me up on my feet. I fight out of her arms, and move stumbling toward Dumbledore repeating "She's dead, she's dead." Tears still falling from my eyes, but I don't care.
"Sirius listen to us..." are the last words I hear, before I pass out from pain once more.
A/N: Not the longest chapter, I know. In case anyone's wondering I had the greates birthday yesterday. Okay so next up is everyone at the hospital. I listened to Efterladt – Innocent Blood (Danish song), Everything Burns – Anastacia, Everything Evil – Coheed and Cambria, Weak - Skunk Anansie and Fortune Faded – Red Hot Chili Peppers. Please review.
