I don't own Harry Potter. Sorry, this took so long!
I freeze. I hear a faint pop in the distant. 'Hello?' I whisper. I hear two sets of feet start to run along the rows of cells.
'Lily!' Marlene cries out. They've come!
'Here!' I croak nervously.
'Don't worry, we're going to get you out,' James says, his voice wobbling. They reach my cell a few moments later.
'James, Marlene, what are you doing here on your own?' I say nervously, looking around.
'Shh, it's fine, we're fine! We just need to get you out,' James smiles. I smile nervously.
'Lily, what happened?' Marlene says shocked. A couple of minutes in the hands of death eaters had left me covered in cuts and bruises starting to form.
'I'm fine.' They look doubtful but start shooting spells at the lock.
'STOP!' I scream. They pause wands raised. 'The lock, it's cursed. You need to find the password, or it will knock you dead.'
'How do you know?' Marlene asks.
'It doesn't matter, how I know!' James nods in agreement.
'Lils, we'll be gone for a few minutes but we'll get you out,' he says looking at me intensely. I reach through the bars and grab his shirt. I kiss him with all of my being.
'Blerghh, come on!' Marlene jokes lightly. I smile weakly and watch them walk off. I pray for them to come back safely.

James
We leave Lily and slowly walk towards a heavy door. When we reach it, I look at Marlene and she stares back, terrified. She reaches her hand out to touch the door. I put my hand over hers and shake my head. I bring a finger up to my mouth signalling her to be quiet. I strain my ears and hear faint talking.
'Where's the mudblood?' a mad voice asks joyfully. Bellatrix!
'The cells of course!' a male voice replies.
'Excellent, I might pay her a visit. I want to try out my new style of the cruciatus curse,' she cackles. No! She won't touch my Lily! I burst the door open and the talking stops.
'James! What have you done?' Marlene says her eyes widening. I freeze; astounded by how stupid I was.
'I couldn't help it! I just got so angry,' I try to explain.
'It doesn't matter we need to hide. Fast!' she says. Darting into a dark corner. I follow her. I hear hurried footsteps run down the stairs. Bellatrix runs into the room and searches the corridor. We move quickly to try to avoid her. She walks quickly along the corridor and we cast an invisible charm on ourselves. She reaches Lily's cell and smirks.
'Well, well, you are being very noisy, I think that deserves a little punishment,' she smiles cruelly. Lily's eyes widen slightly but she doesn't say anything. Bellatrix doesn't like this reaction and spits on her face. She raises her wand but something hits her. I realise that Marlene had let go of me. The force of the collision removes her invisible charm. Bellatrix topples over but instead of shouting insults she laughs. I remove my charm and join Marlene.
'Oh, how touching, two blood-traitors come to save the little mudblood!'
'How dare you!' Marlene screams. Marlene shoots a spell but Bellatrix narrowly misses it. Marlene raises her arm again to shoot but it stays frozen, suspending mid-air. I turn around and see a dark-haired death-eater. His face remains expressionless.
'Bellatrix, you do like to make things messy, never a clean cut with you,' he states. She smirks and joins him. She opens her mouth to say something but a pop makes her spin around.

Lily
I stare wildly at the battle unfolding before me. I feel worthless because I can't help. A couple of members from the order had come to help us. Dorcas and Emmeline Vance have gone to try to find the password for my cell. Marlene was unfrozen by Sirius and they are now fighting with Bellatrix and the dark-haired man.
'Little Sirius, auntie and uncle aren't very happy with you!' she laughs. His face turns stony and he shoots a few well-aimed spells at her.
'Naughty, naughty. Oh, sorry, you couldn't come to my wedding! This is my husband Rudolphus,' she says gesturing to the dark-haired man. Marlene rolls her eyes and shoots a spell at Rudolphus. It hits him square in the chest: he goes flying backwards. Bellatrix looks at him but continues fighting. How could she leave someone she loves? Does she even love him? I remember Sirius telling me something about arranged marriages to keep the bloodline 'pure'. A few more death-eaters had come down earlier and joined in on the fighting. Dorcas and Emmeline race down the hall and straight to my cell, avoiding spells shot at them.
'Lily, we got it!' Dorcas smiles. I stare at her cut forehead and Em's slashes on her hands.
'What happened?' I ask horrified. They shake their heads and begin wave their wands and twirling certain ropes on the lock. The door creaks slightly and I push it open.
'Thank you!' I say giving them a short hug. Em shoves something into my hand.
'You might need this,' she says. I stare down at my wand and grasp it tightly. I smile at them and then we join in on the fighting. I stand frozen as I see a cutting spell heading towards James' chest. My feet unlock and I run to James. I throw my arm across him. The spell slashes through my skin. I scream out in pain.
'Lily!' he shouts. He explodes with anger and shoots spells at whatever death-eaters he can see. Taking down three. I hold onto my arm tightly, trying to stop the blood-flow. The remaining death-eaters take a look at their comrades lying stunned on the floor. They search for their closest help with panicked eyes. The order also looks around and decides to leave.
'GO!' shouts Charlus. At once, James grabs onto me and a blur of the room passes. Next thing, I'm lying down on James' sofa. Dorea rushes into the room with magical healing potions and bandages. I sit up and look around the room. My friends lie on the floor or other sofas. James' stares down at me worriedly.
'It's just a little cut, I'm fine,' I say weakly. He smiles and kisses me.
'James, Charlus, can I have a word?' Sirius asks solemnly. James looks nervous and tells me he'll be back in a minute. Dorea comes over to me.
'Lily, just lift your arm a little please,' she says gently. I do as I'm told and she drops a few drops of ointment into my cut. I flinch at its sting. She wraps it in a bandage and gives me a smile. She moves on to her next patient.
Marlene walks over to me. I reach forward and give her a hug. She holds onto me tightly and sniffs.
'Marlene thank you,' I say staring at her.
'S'alright,' she says. The three return and stand together at the door. I start to panic: they are very pale. Bad news.
'Excuse me; Caradoc Dearborn has gone missing. We think he was kidnapped early morning, we need eyes out there and quick,' Charlus informs the order. I hold onto Marlene's hand, I need my best friend. I need both of them to get me through this war.
