A longer update for you all tonight, I'm sorry, I am rather shocking at writing fight scenes, any tips on improving that would be appreciated! This chapter is for Jannice Sace, I was going to draw things out a little more but I thought I would go with your idea... I hope you like it! You're not a bad person, I was kind of curious to see what happens too! And you can't have a story without something happening so, here we go! I'm glad you like the Remus thing, even though this is an AU story I didn't want to go too psycho with the changes as people don't usually like them. And yes, I thought it would be best to make them the original Order members. Some of them are advisors and such and some of them are other kids from the palace that they grew up with or are related to in some strange pure-blood way that I didn't really feel like trying to work out in the story (I thought it would just detract from the story too much). Ok, I think I have rambled enough, I hope you enjoy!

...

When they arrived, chaos reigned. They immediately joined in, hexing all the figures that they could see that were wearing cloaks and masks. Sirius grinned at James, "Nice of them to make it so easy to identify who the enemy is!"

James grinned back before Stunning a man that went running up to him. He looked around for Lily, but could not see her. He focused on hexing another man who was about to curse one of the fighters, who turned out to be Dorcas Meadowes. She threw him a relieved smile before finding another opponent. James noticed that the attackers were starting to back off. After a few more minutes of intense fighting, those that were able to disappeared. James and the others wasted no time in restraining those that had been left behind. As they finished cleaning up, James looked for Lily again, she was no where to be found.

"Dorcas? Where is Lily?" he asked frantically.

"Relax, she went to warn Moody and Dumbledore about the attack."

"Oh, that is alright then."

"If I may ask, how did you guys know to come here?"

"Lily sent us a Patronus."

"Ah, that explains it. Here I was thinking that you lot had just popped in and saved the day accidentally!"

Sirius draped an arm around her shoulders, "My darling Dorcas, nothing that we do is accidental!"

Laughing, Dorcas shrugged him off and went off to help Alice Longbottom heal some of the injuries their side had sustained. James saw that Peter was over with the wounded but before he could go to him, Sirius pointed to something behind James. He turned around to see Dumbledore approaching them, Moody by his side.

"Are you lot thick or something?" roared Moody. "Or are you all too hyped up under your own egos that you decided to dive right in and handle it by yourself!"

James looked at Sirius and Remus, puzzled. "I do not mean to offend you, but what are you talking about?"

Moody glowered at them as Dumbledore looked stern. "I thought we had made it clear that you were to inform us of any attacks so that we could send help," said Dumbledore.

"Dorcas told us that Lily went off to send word to you. Lily was the one who sent us a Patronus telling us of the attack, we figured she must have done the same to you."

Moody examined his face and after failing to see a lie on it, he looked at Dumbledore. "I was right Albus."

Dumbledore nodded, "I agree, I should have listened to you Alastor."

"What is going on here? If Lily did not send word to you, where is she then?" James started to panic at the sad look on Dumbledore's face.

"I do not know."

A few hours later, Lily still had not shown up. Moody had grilled them all to find out what happened before going off with Dumbledore. James sat staring into the fire they had made. His friends sat beside him, faces identical in barely realised horror.

Moody and Dumbledore finally came back over to them. James jumped up, "Have you found out what happened yet?"

"No, but we can make a good guess," said Dumbledore.

"I warned you about this Albus," growled Moody.

"Yes, you keep saying that Alastor," sighed Dumbledore.

"What? What are you talking about?" asked James.

Dumbledore sighed again, "We were expecting something like this to happen, your escape before seemed to easy. I told Alastor that I did not think it would happen quite so soon, I thought that they would wait until the tide of the war could be determined. Alastor thought differently."

Moody grunted and shifted his weight, "I know how dark wizards think. Since Snape appears to be Voldemort's highest advisor, Voldemort would want to make sure that he works at his best. To do that, he would need Lily."

"I thought that Voldemort would decide to keep her here as a carrot for Snape, to encourage him to think of better ideas so that he could have her, it would appear that I was wrong," said Dumbledore. "We did give Lily protection spells, so that if she was in trouble we would be alerted immediately. It appears they did not work."

"Are you saying, that Lily has been captured because your spells did not work?" asked James, dangerously.

"Calm down James, we do not need you rushing off without thinking again," said Moody.

"You expect me to just sit here?" he shouted, "While Lily is in trouble?"

"Yes, I do. That is your duty to your people."

"I do not give a damn about my duty! Lily needs help."

"James, I think they are right," said Sirius. James glared at him but Sirius kept talking, "No, listen James. Last time, they could have killed us so easily, we were lucky that Snape wanted to draw things out. If we go now, they will be expecting us. You know that that is why they wanted her, to lure you to your death."

"You cannot ask me to do nothing Sirius, please," begged James. When Sirius shook his head, James looked at Remus and Peter, who both shook their heads too. "Well, so much for my friends." James stalked off.

"Should we not be worried that he will take off by himself?" asked Remus.

Moody grinned as they heard a yelp from James. "No, I enchanted this village myself so that no one can leave without my say so."

Remus looked at Dumbledore, "I am a little confused, Lily sent us a Patronus, why did she not send one to you?"

"I do not think Lily sent that Patronus," said Dumbledore.

"She did, it was a doe."

"Snape's Patronus is also a doe."

"Why did you not tell me that Albus?" asked Alastor.

"I admit, I did not think that it would be important."

"But it was her voice!" said Sirius.

"It is not unheard of for the voice a Patronus uses to be changed. It is a complex spell, but most definitely possible."

"Great. So Lily is missing, James is going to be worried sick and you will not let us go and get her. What exactly is the plan then?" said Sirius sarcastically.

Dumbledore smiled, "Ah, Mister Black, we never did say that we did not have a plan. Even though we did not expect this to happen so soon, we were well prepared for it in any case."

"Well prepared?!" Sirius said, incredulously, "How on earth was this 'well prepared'?"

"Our protection spells may have failed, but we always counted that as a possibility. Lily was also well aware of the danger she was in. Do not fear, this will be turned to our advantage," said Moody, grinning madly.

The boys exchanged looks, this did not look like it was going to be good.
