Chapter 14: Lord Voldemort
Lily came round to find herself gagged and tied up. She wriggled furiously, but then Voldemort and his henchman leaned over her. "Wakey wakey, sunshine," he gloated. "Are we feeling well?"
"Where are my parents?" Lily screeched, as soon as the gag was taken off her. "Hurt them and you'll wish you'd never been born." It was an empty threat, she knew, but it was to show them that she wasn't scared - at least, not on the outside. She wouldn't go without putting up a fight.
"Temper, temper," the man said. "I suppose it suits her hair."
"Shut the hell up, you blithering, snotty, dirty, good-for-nothing piece of poo!" Lily yelled at him. "Who for MERLIN'S sake ARE you, anyway?"
"Ahh . . .forgive me for not introducing myself. Cronulus Karkaroff. Head Deatheater." He held up a glinting silver badge.
"Out of the way, Karkaroff," Voldemort said lazily. "So, Evans, we meet, finally. I have long desired to meet you."
"I'm not scared of you, Voldemort!" Lily said furiously. "Where are my parents?"
"They are in no danger, Evans," Voldemort said. "The trick about Ceres Hitchcock was to lure you here. I TRULY apologise for any inconvenience caused."
"You just existing is an inconvenience," Lily retorted. Voldemort smiled, showing two rows of gleaming white teeth. "I know you are angry with me, but please don't attack me in any way. I have not the patience for it."
"I won't do that, Voldemort, but I WILL defy you!" Lily bristled. She refused to be cowed by Voldemort's intimidating gaze.
"Bad choice, Evans. I could offer you glory."
"I don't WANT glory!"
Voldemort shook his head, and tutted. "Very disappointed, Evans, I expected more from you. I thought you would have better sense. Very well then," he sighed heavily, "we shall meet again. All this was merely an illusion. Everyone is safe." And with that, both he and Karkaroff vanished, and Lily bonds were free.
Lily gasped. Her house was standing again, and the lights were on inside. Resisting the urge to go inside, she untied the horse and galloped off into the dark.
* * * * * * * * * * Lily arrived very early next morning, and quietly crept into the girl's dormitories without a sound. She didn't want to wake everyone up. They were all asleep, and Lily quickly got into her nightclothes and flung herself into bed. She was fast asleep by the time everyone got up.
"Lils!" Sophie screamed. "You're back!"
Lily snapped her eyes open. "Sophie!" she shouted. "Petra! Alice!"
"Hello Lilyflower," said a voice softly from outside. Lily ran outside to find James standing at the foot of the stairs. She flew down and hugged him impulsively.
"So, where did you go, Lily?" James asked.
"I'll tell you later," Lily laughed. "Everything. But not now."
Just then, Sirius crept up behind her, and shoved her in the back as way of greeting.
"Hey, watch it Black!"
Remus was behind him. "Glad you're back, Lily," he said.
"I'm glad to see ALL of you!" Lily said. "Now, why don't we all go down and have some breakfast?"
"Hear, hear!" Sirius croaked, massaging his stomach. "I'm starving!"
"No you're not," Lily said, and hit him playfully. He moaned, then began to chase her around the room, finally catching her and pummeling her to the ground.
"Hey! Cut it out!" James yelled. "Sirius, I was going to do that!"
"Who cares, I got her first!" Sirius called back, and stuck his tongue out.
"You didn't give her a headstart!"
"Did too!"
"Did not!"
"Too!"
"Not!"
"Too!"
"Not!"
Then Lily put her hands over her ears and yelled, "SHUT UP BOTH OF YOU!"
That really shut them up.
"Thanks a bunch, Lily," Sirius said sourly.
Lily smiled sweetly. "No problems."
"Have we started fighting?" Petra asked mildly
"Good idea, Pete," Sophie said. "Boys against girls. Be ready for the THRASHING of your life."
"You? Beat US up?" James snorted. "In your dreams."
"Then why don't we have a prankfest?" Lily asked them.
James's eyes twinkled mishcievously. "Ready?"
"Ready," they said.
"What? What are we readying ourselves for?" Frank Longbottom had just come up. "Oh hi Lily. By the way, Peter's snoring, so I've locked him in the dormitories." Everyone howled with laughter. Peter was the laughing stock of the first years. He had finally got down from the ceiling last night and had fallen on top of a very disgruntled Remus, who had immediately magically washed his sheets as so not to get his bed contaminated by the fat, bumbling boy.
"We're having a prankfest against the girls," James said.
Frank's eyes brightened. "Can I join?" he asked eagerly. "Just don't let Peter join in. I don't know HOW he managed to get into Gryffindor." Remus and Frank would spend hours talking about Peter everyday, as both had had the experience of him. Sirius giggled to himself as he remembered the train journey, and how Peter had annoyed Remus so thoroughly. Had it only been a few days ago? It seemed like ages, probably because of the many events that had occurred from then.
"Well," James said, "ready?"
"READY!" the boys shouted.
"Well," Sophie sighed theatrically and pretended to wipe her brow, "I guess this means . . . WAR!"
"War? YOU? Against US? Like James said, you must be kidding. We're too good for the likes of you," Sirius bantered. "Here, one of us should go on your side and help you."
"NO!" the girls shouted.
"Very well then, if you're not easy on us, then we won't be easy on you," Remus growled. "Boys, let's get 'em."
"Plan?" asked Frank, eyebrows raised.
"Oh yeah - plan. Now listen . . ." the four boys huddled together in a rugby hug (A/N Is that how you say it?) while at the far end of the room, the girls did the same thing.
