Hi, Lovelies. Is that the first time I'm saying that in this fic? I think it is. Sorry I have been posting for a while. I've been procrastinating pretty bad, but Ariana Grande's new song 'positions' came out (yes I'm a fan, chill out) and I'm listening to it, and it sort of inspired this chapter. So here it is. Enjoy.

Lily's POV
I sat in my bed reading, when I heard a knock on the door.
"Come in, James." I called.
James opened the door and sat down next to me. "Watcha reading." He asked.
I looked at him. "What do you want?"
"Okay you got me." He said, a hint of defeat in his voice. "I wanted to know if you were going to Hogsmeade this weekend."
I thought for a minute. I think Marlene and Dorcas wanted me to go. "I'm probably going with my friends." I said. "Why?" I added seeing the crestfallen look on his face.
"No reason." James said quickly. He got up and walked toward the door, but I was faster.
"No. What is it?" I asked firmly.
"I was going to ask if you wanted to go with me. Like on a date." He mumbled, looking at the floor. Then I noticed that he flushed red.
I smiled knowing that I had this kind of power on James Potter.
I kissed his cheek. "Sure." I said.
He looked back at me with the biggest grin.
"Okay. Cool." I smiled at him.

I told the girls that I was going to Hogsmeade with James and they started freaking out like crazy people. Even though we live together, James and I agreed to meet at Hogsmeade rather than go together. I brushed my hair, quickly, as I was frustrated. I looked in the mirror and realized that with all the brushing, I looked like I could be Einstein's great granddaughter or something.
"Okay that's it." I said grabbing my wand.

James's POV
I heard Lily rushing around her room trying to get ready, no doubt.
"Okay that's it." I heard her yell. Or maybe she said 'Okay fat zit.'
I laughed at the thought of Lily running around her room and continued getting ready.

Lily's POV
I heard James leave about 10 minutes ago. I finally finished getting ready and looked at myself in the mirror. I finally got my curls to look somewhat ok, and I put on a black blouse with sparkles along the neckline tucked into a pair of jeans. I put on a trench coat and my converse hightops. They were black to match my shirt. I finally headed out to Hogsmeade.
••¤••
James took me to The Three Broomsticks and we had a really good day. We stayed in Hogsmeade the whole day and I knew that this day was perfect.
Or so I thought.
Just as we were heading back up to school, a dark shape flew down from the sky. It was dark so we didn't notice until it was right above me. James pulled out his wand, but the thing, whatever it was, grabbed me and flew into the air. I was used to flying after six years of playing quidditch so I was only freaked out about what it was and where it was taking me. I saw the dark mark on his arm and knew that it was a Death Eater. So this is what I get for taunting one of Voldemort's followers at Petunia's wedding.
We arrived at an old warehouse and the Death Eater threw me inside.
"Welcome, Miss Evans." A high voice said. "I've been waiting for your arrival."
"What do you want from me?" I asked.
"I want to kill you." The voice said.
"W-What?"
"It's really quite simple. You see, people like you don't deserve to have magic. And since there is no way known to me to physically remove your magic, I have to kill you." the voice said.
"Not technically." I replied. "In theory you could just let me go. We're both human after all." The man came into the light and I noticed that he was inhumanly pale, and had no nose. I cringed. "Mostly." I added.
"Know your place Mudblood!" He screamed at me. Wow. It was louder than Dorcas seeing a spider.
"You do know that your father was a Muggle right. You're essentially a pureblood advocist who isn't a pureblood. That's like a girl agreeing with a boy that all girls should be killed." I said.
I saw someone shift uneasily in the crowd of Death Eaters. I don't know if he did it on purpose, but I knew that it was Severus.
"Crucio!" Someone yelled. I screamed. Even though I was on the floor already, I felt myself falling even more. It felt like a thousand knives were being pierced into me.
"That ought to teach you your place, you filthy little mudblood."
"B-Bellatrix?" I asked, shaken.
"That's right." She said.
They continued to torture me until a voice yelled.
"Expelliarmus!"
Bellatrix's wand flew out of her hand.
"Expelliarmus! Expelliarmus! Expelliarmus! Expelliarmus! Expelliarmus!" One by one the Death Eaters started to lose their wands.
"Well well. Who dares to stand up to Lord Voldemort?" He asked. "Come out and fight me like a man."
I looked behind me and James and Dorcas came out from in the shadows. James stepped up to Voldemort, keeping his distance, and Dorcas ran to pick me up from the ground. We ran back to where they were standing. James and Voldemort began to duel and Dorcas gave me some chocolate.
By the time they were finished dueling, I was feeling a bit more renewed. Voldemort and his followers Disapparated leaving the 3 of us standing there. James turned and walked towards me. His nose was bleeding and he had a black eye. Nothing Madame Pomfrey couldn't handle.
"Lily, I'm so sorry." He said hugging me. "I couldn't find out where they took you."
"It's okay. You're here now." I said, a little weakly.
"Let's get back to the castle." Dorcas said.
We all linked hands and Disapparated back to Hogwarts.

So there's that chapter. I'm not gonna lie, I was really stumped for this chapter. I didn't even know how to start it and then when I came up with the plot I still didn't know how to start it. I don't know when the next chapter is coming out, but there will be more. Shout out to miniandminie who sort of helped me get through this chapter. See you in the next chapter.
