Destinée De La Lis

A bone-chilling scream sounded out through the train. Lily searched for her wand. She grabbed it out of the inside pocket of her midnight blue robes and ran to the compartment door, bumping into someone else when she got there.

"Who's there?" She whispered.

"Shut it Evans." It was Jame's voice, she scowled in what she thought was his general direction.

"Don't scowl at me!" This time he was on her other side.

"How did you know?"

"Never mind that! Lets see what happened." As all their friends were at the back of the compartment, they heard none of this whispered conversation, and they were slightly worried about why James and Lily had been so quiet. James slowly opened the compartment door and he and Lily walked into the hallway.

"Put this over you." He said holding out the invisibility cloak, it glowed in the pitch darkness.

"Oh my god!" She excitedly whispered. "An invisibility cloak! Where did you get this? It's masterly!"

"Listen Lily, I'm happy you know what it is, but we'd better hurry along if we want to find out who that was." Lily made a dead stop.

"You-you called me Lily."

"Yes I did, great observation. Put on the cloak!" She silently vowed to herself to call him James next time as the cloak slid over their heads. They were quieter than a flower falling from a tree in an overgrown forest ten miles away as they walked through the hallways. A light protruded from a half closed door a few meters away from them. As they advanced the light started turning brighter. All of a sudden Lily felt called to go in to this compartment. James held her back.

"Let me go James." She whined quietly in his ear.

"No! Lily, it could be dangerous."

"It's not like you care!" She spitefully said and he let go of her tiny wrist as she walked out from underneath the invisibility cloak. She crept like a cat to the door and peeked in. Inside was a circle of cloaked wizards and witches. Her mind flicked back to her textbooks, 'Death Eaters' she thought to herself as one of them grabbed her from behind. She tried to scream but he had covered her mouth and tied her hands behind her back. She felt hot tears fall from her eyes as she struggled to get out of his grasp. She did not succeed and he brought her into the center of the circle and threw her roughly to the ground.

Breathing hard and feeling very flushed she raised her head and looked at the shadows all around her, in the corner she saw Liana Rave, a fifth year girl in Hufflepuff. She was frozen and was obviously the one who had screamed. The tears were still coming. She gave everything around her the meanest look she could muster before she was raised from the ground and spun to face none other than Voldemort himself.

"You bastard!" She whispered maliciously.

"I've been looking for you Lily." She gasped, how did he know her name?

"How the hell do you know my name?" She almost always spoke her mind. He seemed to be enjoying this entirely.

"You are in the prophecies child."

"What do you mean?"

"L'enfant de la lis et du cerf prenda soin du seigneur de l'obscurité." Her green eyes glared at him and he chuckled evilly. "Do you know what that means Lily?"

"Yes I do. It means the child of the lily and the stag will take care of the dark lord. What do you think, that *I'm* *the* lily? It's a pretty common name."

"How naïve you are Lily."

"I'm about as naïve as you are good." She spat as soon as he finished.

"You have a sharp tongue child, I only hope you don't cut yourself on it."

"Yours seems to be a little dull and rusty, old man!"

"I don't want to kill you."

"I'm not that stupid Tom. You want to kill all the 'mudbloods' and 'muggle borns'."

"That may be true but I cannot kill you, not yet."

"Why?"

"Do you think you deserve to know?"

"I'm curious why the one and only 'Lord Voldemort' won't kill me, is that a crime?"

"No, it isn't. I may as well tell you." He snapped his fingers and she lowered to the ground. "You see, Lily, my informants don't know who 'the stag' is. So we can't be one hundred percent sure that you ARE the lily. Because it is implied in another prophesy that the stag and the lily are enemies become friends."

"But my only enemy is you! And trust me…I would NEVER sleep with you, you're way too bony and that face is not something I wanna wake up to!"

"Crucio!" He yelled out and the pain that hit her was blinding. She wanted to scream and fall to her knees but she wouldn't scream or kneel for him, not ever. He snapped his fingers and the spell stopped. She kept standing on shaky legs and he snapped again. The ropes around her wrists unbound and she rubbed the spot where the hard twine had dug into her skin as she had tried to stop the pain of the Cruciatus curse.

"You are free to go. But remember, you can never outwit me. I'm always one step ahead. Now be gone!" She suddenly found herself inside her compartment, lying on the cold floor, with six worried faces looking down on her, James' the most worried.

"What happened?" She heard a voice that sounded much like her own but much further away say.

"You were talking to Voldemort." Said James simply. Everyone but Remus and Sirius flinched.

"You mean, that wasn't a dream?"

"I'm afraid not Lil." James said holding out a hand to help her up. She gladly took it and smiled when she had stood up. Everyone looked at them as if they had sprouted unicorn horns and their hair had turned as platinum as Malfoy's.

"What is wrong with you two?" Asked Skye, staring at James, then Lily.

"Nothing's wrong Skye, we came to an understanding whilst in the hall. Isn't that right James?"

"Quite right Lily, now will you all shut your mouths before they open so wide they touch the ground!" Everyone obeyed and they sat down again. Peter and Serena started playing chess. Remus and Sirius and Skye started to talk about Quidditch and James and Lily were left alone to have a nice chat about what happened.

"Were you watching the whole time?" She said, her gaze still out the window into the flying blackness.

"Yes." He admitted. "I can't believe you told Voldemort you would never sleep with him because he's way too bony and has a face you would never want to wake up to." They both started laughing and everyone looked at them again.

Across the room, Sirius turned to Skye and Remus.

"What's with those two?" He asked.

"I know!" Said Skye " It's the strangest thing! It's almost as if they haven't hated each other for 7 years!"

"You could argue that." Said Remus smiling. "Stranger things have happened.
