~A/N Sorry guys for taking so long to update. I lost my job and went through a terrible time. I'm doing better now though. I'll try to make the updates shorter for the new chapters to come!

strongPotters POV/strong

I realized that it had been two months since I had been placed in this awful prison. Sighing, I sat down in "the courtyard" careful not to show eye contact with "the crazy girl". Looking at the ground I let my mind start to drift, and of course they came to Lily and what that greasy snake might be doing to his girl.

There must be a way to lift the spell that he put on her. There is no way she is willingly going to chose that nobody over me.

Not that it matters if I figured it out. Its not like I can get out of here anytime soon, and even when I do, school will be over for them and Snape will be long gone with her. I'm sure. That last thought made my blood boil even higher. I punched the ground.

An evil cackling laughter followed, "What the hell are you punching at boy?" I looked up and glared in her direction. Snarling, "None of your business, you crazy hag!"/

"Oh come now, no need for such rudeness! Have you thought of my offer to escaping?" She cooed

"You don't know how to escape, so quit saying you do!"

"Well, I might not but my lord does," She all but sang. A wicked grin spreading her lips.

"And what makes you think he would come for you! He hasn't yet!"

Expecting her smile to falter; I was surprised when it grew wider. "You do not know why I am here. I chose to be caught to recruit you my dear!"

What!?

Lily's POV

It was time for Hogsmeade and I couldn't help but smile when I saw Petunia's reaction to butterbear.

Tuney's eyes rolled back into her head in bliss, "This is sooooo good!" she exclaimed.

Sev laughed, "Couldn't agree more Tuney." Taking a big swallow of his own.

After our butterbear we started going shop to shop, until Tuney stopped and blurted, "I need to go back to my room."

Bewildered we looked at her, "Why?" I asked.

"I have twice as many classes as both of you. I have so much homework. I should probably get back to it."

"Tuney you need a break, you have been going constantly since we got here. You have only been out here for 2 hours. Take a little more time to yourself."

"I know why you want me to and it sounds reasonable, but the deadline to my school work isn't going to change because i want to have fun."

Sighing, I looked at her, "Alright Tuney, see you in a little bit."

She nodded and said goodbye. Then started walking back towards Hogwarts.

"She's really going to break if she keeps doing that to herself," Sev commented.

Letting out a big puff of air I replied, " Yeah I know, but there is really not that much arguing you can do with her when she has her mind made up."

1 Hour later

Sev's POV

As Lily and I were making our way out of another candy shop a loud shrilling sound dropped us to our knees. After it had gotten everyones attention the sound stopped and I looked up to see that Dumbledore had his wand to his throat, "I am sorry for the loud alarm, but there has been an emergency that has come to my attention. Death eaters have been spotted in the area-"

At that everyone went into a panic. The shrilling alarm went off again, which had everyone on their knees again; covering their ears.

When everyone was quiet Dumbledore spoke again with a seemingly calm voice, but underneath that calm voice you could feel the dangerous undertone. "I ask you dear students not to panic. We are to quickly head to Hogwarts and security measures will be taken. We are going on complete lock down. Now follow me and we will get you safely to the Great Hall."

As we followed Dumbledore to Hogwarts castle, the panic was still there in the crowd. Everyone was talking fast in terrified tones.

I felt Lily shaking next to me; her eyes were widened by fear, I wrapped my arms around her and hugged her close to me.

"Its going be okay Lily" I whispered in her ear.

She looked up at me and weakly smiled and nodded.

Thank you for your time! Reviews are much appreciated! ^-^ ~~

So sorry for the short chapter! So many bad things kept happening! I will try to make the next chapter much longer!
